than l had this year, but I do not
believe my meetings have ever
resulted in awakening so much
spirituality in the membership of
the churches and 81 much interest
in the Masters cause as was the
result of my meetings this summer.
I believe Bro. Blalock was Gods
instrument in bringing these
glorious results. There were
additions to all my churches.
1t is gratifying to me to see so
much more interest in Sabbath
school work in some of my churches
and renewed energy and zeal in all
the departments of Christian labor
in all of them. I believe some of
our pastorless churches would be
fortunate in securing Bro. Blalock's
services. l commend him to them
as worthy and successful pas
tor, for wherever he has labored
in that capacity the Lord has
blessed him abundantly. His
infrmity does not keep him from
administering the ordinances of
baptism and the Lords supper

In discussing the possibilities

well when corn bread was portion

Especially was this true in the
Southern States. The art of cook

bread reached a high standard of
excellence, and wheat -four came
IN for use only once or twice q |
week. All this has been changed.
Even the. southern negroes have |
largely deserted corn bread for
Hour bread, and the hoecake, corn
dodger and corn muffin now exist
chiefly in our songs and litera-
ture. Not one cook in 1000 now
knows how to make the corn bread
'f the olden time, and this fact, in
connection with the more abundant
wheat has reduced the consump-
