Mr.. EDITOR:-iour correspondent no.
tees that Mr.. Knowles, IN last weeks
issue takes exceptions to the statement
made some time since, that there had
been no services held in the NJ. L. Church
for nearly year, and does so with the use
of capitals in saying This is not true"
Well attempts are frequently made to
substitute strong language for accuracy,
and we presume less clerical person
might have used SWEAR WORDS instead of
capitals.
Now we hasten to make all due apollo
giCs for whatever was wrong or naccu-
rate i'll our statement, as we would not
willfully misreprescnt, as we consider IT
only another name for lying. We may
have stated the time little long for we
did not have an opportunity to consult
the elder diary, (Which we suppose to
be the same he had in court last summer,
and then we noticed the dates in it seemed
little mixed, and consequently may
have erred little, but if we accept his
date, October II, as correct, we were
more than half right.
Now that no one reading Mr. Knowles
statement last week, where he refers to
his congregation on Oct. IL, also
where he speaks of "rcsuming his work, ="
Jan. 25, should think that he intends to
misrcpreScnt the facts, also that our
humble self should not again be- even n
little mistaken, will the elder kindly again
consult his diary. and see il he there finds
n record to the effect that his congrcga-
ton for some time previous to Oct. IL
tjust how long we wont say as we have
no diary ! had cons sted of from two to
four persons outside his own family, and
on that day IT was composed OF one cid
erly gentleman who would, no doubt,
have greatly profted by the elders able
discourse, but unfortunately is very deaf,
and also II he docs not find that his work,
resumed on Jan. 25, has been entirely
away from the village church, if we cx-
cept the one instance. presumably about
that time but we have no diary when
an appointment for n service was made.
and the congregation being even smaller
than on the time of the previous adjourn
mcut, Oct. IL, a recess was taken to
some date which has not arrived vet II
he will do so we shall feel greatly obliged
to him. and feel safer If called upon for
further statements, in making them.
! As to the elders very kindly hint rs to
the graceiesS condition of the community
which has been SO long under his instruc-
| ton, we will leave them to make their
own excuses, and this is to he considered
as our own individual apology, and we
hold ourselves ready to apologize again
when we think one is needed.

closed last Saturday evening, and de-
spite the counter attractions throughout
the week, it was the most successful fair
this church has ever held here. This may

nctted a triile over $500, and the lucky
posscssor of the watch is Miss Katie

the greatest financial benefit possible.
