From CarrolltOn to Uniontown.


After spending four years i'll the the service
of the Master with the Church at Carrolton,
can say this is one of the most pleasant periods
of my life. During those four years there
never was a single Jar between It's. but in the
spirit of the Master we labored together. and
us Il result, Il glorious work was accomplished;
and as wears wear on We will look back to
those four years Of work and associations with
ii great deal of pleasure. The Church at Car
rolton is constituted of noble band OF
brethren. They stand by their preacher and
do what they contract to do, and the man who
serves them has no cause t" be ashamed 10 say
| am pastor of the Church of God 1t CARROLL
ton. There came Il time when it was SAID we
must 90, although the church desired US TO
STAY and we felt like saying we would stay
when we consulted our attachment to the
place. bat after some consideration and con-
sutation we agreed To submit the matter to
the Brethren of the Eldership and requested
them to be directed by the Spirit OF, Him who
doeth all things we'll, hence the Stationing-
Committee of the Maryland and Virginia
Eldership said we must take charge of Union
town and FriZellburg, so on the morning OF
the }rd of November, Brother Gilbert sent
teams to bring our goods and family to Union
town. When we arrived we found the parson,
age in possession of about sixty brothers and
sisters who had prepared supper and to help
us get our goods ia shape for living. huS
we met with warm reception III our eStlma-
ton in Uniontown. and we are G lad to say
that we feel at home among these people.
After we were settled we commenced a pro-
tracted meeting in the church at this place,
which was Il grand result 20 made the happy
profession of saving faith in Christ; IS have
been baptized and others to follow. In this
meetim we had the assistance of Father
Eckard and Brother Il. W. Rodkey. Ii Is
encouraging TO have these experienced breth-
rem to council with when aboring to save souls
from the enemy.
We are now engaged in meeting in the
church at Frizellburg. On the Sth OF Decem-
Der the church at this place and FriZellburg
made their annual donation, which was Il
grand success, for which We trust that the
prime movers aud each kind donor vii ac-
cept our thanks; and we pray God TO give MS
wisdom. and with His spirit help us to feed
the flock on the Bread of Life.

bers. OF the editor of the Westminster Sen
tinel the Herald says:
''Probably the oldest member in the aSSO-
citation, and yet one of the most active, is w.
l.. W. Seabrook. of the Westminster Sen
tinel. He is one Of the hardest political
fighters in Carroll county, as many Republl-
cans will testify. When he took charge of
the Sentinel an opposition paper, backed by
influential Republicans in Westminster, fought
the old warhorse, but he routed his oppon-
entS, horse, foot and dragoon. Now the Sen
tineI is more firmly established than ever;
Since the Republicans have gotten control
the paper has prospered, and is now paying
its owners handsomely. Mr. Seabrooke is an
active politician, as well as newspaper man.
He assisted his party during the late election,
and claims that but for liberal use of money
by the Democrats Carroll county would have
been carried by the Republicans.
