It was our privilege to attend the Union
Meeting ct Broadmouth Church, which
commenced last Friday and closed on
Sunday. The meeting was one of UNUSUAL
interest. The iptroductry sermon was
preached by Rev. M. McGee, at II o'clock
on Friday. There were between forty
and fifty delegates present from the diff
fsrent Churches composing the Union.
The discussions bore mainly upon the
duty of Churches toward members who
failed to attend meetings of the Church,
contribute to the support of the gospel,
dc. 1t was truly gratifying to note the
spirit of forbearance and Christian love
t7hihh characterized the discussions
throughout. IT was the prevailing opin-
ion OF the meeting that gentleness, loving
admonition, &C., on the part of the
Church was the scriptural and, therefore,
the best means of bringing such members
up to the discharge of their christian du
ties. Mr.. j. W. Poore, Of Bolton, the for
mer Moderator, vas re elected for another
term Of twelve months. The Sunday
School Union met On Sunday morning at
10 o. clock, and SO large was the congrega.
ton at this early hour that the house,
after being taxed to its utmost capacity,
was found to be inadequate to the occa.
sion, aud numbers of persons were com.
pellsd to remain out doors. Encouraging
reports were heard from the various
schools The reports brought out the
fact that every Church in the Union had
good Sunday School, not one of which
had failed to run through the winter.
The appointed speaker for the OCCASION
not being present, Mr.. II. S. Shumate ia
vored the Union with short but pointed
and iorcihle address, which was highly
appreciated and enjoyed by all present.
The Union was informed that the Super
intendeut of two OF the schools had re-
Gently passed away-Mr. l.. u. Haynie Of
Bethany School. and Mr.. Harrison Hol-
land, of Meals Creek School. Rev. G.
M. Rogers was called Oh for speech OH
the life and character OF Mr.. Haynie, and
Eev. Il. M. King was asked fora similar
apeeoh on the life and character Of Mr..
Holland. Both gentlemen responded
promptly, showing the worth of such
Sunday School had sustained by their
death, After these speeches the Union
was led in prayer by Rev. R. w. Burts
sehH Schools De depryea ai ti thsr losaera The
missionary sermon was preached by Rov.
G. NJ. Rogers, and collection tax en- for
Foreign Missions amounting to over
twenty dollars. The cash contributions
at this meeting for missions and to aid
a feeble Church in building neW house
of worahip amounted to about forty-ilve
dollars. The services were interspersed
with soul-inspiring music furnished by
the choir and led by Mr.. NJ. L. Latimer,
which added very much to the enjoyment
of the OCCASION. The preaching, the
speeches, the music. the entertainment OF
delegates was all that could be desired,
and the opinion Of every one present was
that they had never attended Q better
Fpiqp Meeting. +.
