SATISFACTORILY ADJUSTED.

Before the converting of the Noon
day Baptist Association, it was pretty
generally rumored that the church at
Marietta, led by her pastor Rev. J. T.
jenkins, had practiced open commun-
ion. The matter was brought to the
notice of the Association by pastor A.
H. Morgan Brother Jenkins and other
members of the Marietta church being
present, made statements disavowing
any thought of holding to open COM
munion sentiments.
The rumor seems to have grown out
OF some remarks made by pastor Jen-
kins at a communion service recently,
which were understood by some of his
own members, and by some Methodist
brethren who were present, as an in
vitation TO all Christians to partake o
the elements, bread ana wine; and a
least one leading member of the Meth
odist church did partake Of them.
But after the statements made by
pastor jenkins and other messengers
from Marietta church, Rev. A. B.
Vaughn moved that said statements be
received as satisfactory, which was car
