Duncan, June 2d, 1889. We have now a church edifice worth 88,000, much of which is due the generosity of one of Durham noblemen, Bro.

Evergreen. Dear Bro. Reid: I write you a few lines to tell you what great things the Lord has done tor us Here at Evergreen. Bro. Eure, our his protracted meeting to commence at our church the 25th of August.

We heard of Rev. A Vines, and wrote for him to come over and heln us. He arrived on Friday previous and commenced the same nnrht bv holding praver meet ings the remainder of the week and an experience meeting Sunday morning at t) 1-2 o'clock. Our pastor arrived at tne appointed time, and the meeting commenced with great interest on Sunday night. Bro.

Vines preached on Christian perseverance, and the Spirit descended with great power. The interest continued as the meeting progressed, until many souls were made alive in Christ, and shouts of rejoicing went from many parts of the church. The number of conversions is not known. There were four converted out of one family one night. There were a number converted, who were members of the Methodist and other churches.

The interest of the meeting was felt for many miles around. The entire membership of the church was revolutionized. The accessions to the church were but few in number, from the simple fact that almost every one in this community was already a member of some church. Our church is new here, while the Baptist is strong, but to the surprise of many, we received ten members. My pen will fail to give justice to the meeting.

Our beloved pastor, Rev. H. M. Eure, is a good man and a good and able preacher, and is much beloved by lis congregation. We consider Rev.

A. Vines a second Sam Jones. Ie says many hard and rough words to the unconverted church member and outside sinner, though he says it in a spirit of love and proves it by the Bible. His preaching is with great power and force, and has a grand effect on his congregations. May the Lord bless those two young preachers and crown all their work in the future with the same success.

Yours truly, A. M. Benton. Greensboro District S. S.

The Conference was in session until Satur-duv and miife niiinhfir re mained over Sunday, so that the programme was carried out almost to the letter. The following subjects were discussed, and from what was said, we can but feel that the Sunday-school was benefited "Is the Sunday-School worth what it costs to maintain it?" "What are the demands of the Sunday-school, and how can they be met?" "How can the older members of the church be induced to attend Sunday-school?" "The old time Sunday-school compared with the modern';" "What are the characteristics of a model Sunday-school?" "How can the Missionary spirit be infused into the Sunday- scnooi riday niglit, Kev. C. Norman preached upon the subject "The early of children." Saturday night, Rev. J.

Resolutions were adopted of thanks to citizens of Reidsville for their kind attentions to members of the Conference, and requesting the Secretary to furnish a synopsis of proceedings to the Raleigh Advocate for publication. Holts Chapel, two miles east of Greensboro, was selected as place of meeting next year. C. H.

10th, 1S80. Thanks. Dear Bro. Reid: I have returned to Aurora, from a six weeks visit to the mountains. I desire to thank the good people of my charge, through the Advocate, for warm reception given myself and family on our arrival.

The parsonage was filled with happy faces. A good supper awaited us. When I saw the many nice things which were brought for ourjeomfort, my heart was filled with gratitude to God. May the richest blessings of God ever rest upon this good and noble people. Yours truly, J.

A. Green. A Query. Dear Sir: WTill you be kind enough to let a question appear through the Christian Advocate. Would itnotbe more directly, according to the rules of Christianity for the M.

E. Church, South, to abandon the camp meetings so that each minister could preach to his own congregation in his appointed church In the primitive days of Methodism I will acknowledge that -it was a medium through which many have heard the Gospel that otherwise would not. Is there any good proceeding from these camp meetings now, when we have churches in abundance throughout the State of N.C? Will it be too much for me to refer them to one of the Presiding Elders for an answer? Yours truly, Wm. Lewis. Mt.

Gilead. Dear Bro. Reid: Our 3 Quarterly Conference embraced the 1st Sunday in from which we protracted. For 3 weeks before we were engaged at Mt. Gilead, Wadesville and Hebron, when not interrupted by rain, in a series of meetings resulting in 40 conversions, and unknown number of backsliders reclaimed.

Bro. Stamey remained with us till Wednesday atZion, where we are having good times. There were 10 converts on Monday. Today, Thursday, the last penitent at the altar found pardon. 23 in all.

We shall continue to morrow, and have 3 more meetings to hold, and more if Providence opens the way. Zion, in the collections, cleared the deck. Bro. Stamey, fresh from other fields, where the Lord had blessed his labors, was in his native element, and rendered efficient service. Yours truly, J.

Sandford. Resolutions of Censure. A Denominational Convention was called Sept. Gth, 1889, in the vicinity of Lockville, Chatham nhnmh was crloriouslv revived, and 11 precious souls were converted.and 9 joined the cnurcn. -untne ionow ing Sunday we commenced at Zion I never sw a congregation, or a nl-mroh mm P.

fVinrmiffhlv TfiVlved and iU wpnt to work in earnest. In that section there are but few who are out of the church, but 4 were converted and ioined the church. On the next Sunday the meeting commenced at Bascomb sChapel and is still going on. God is doing a wonderful work for us at this place Up to the present 29 conversions and the altar full of penitents, and the congregation full of sinners. At first the weather was rainy, and kept back part of the congregation but it did not keep the Lord away for he has been with us everv time Now the house is not sufficient to hold the congregation.

We are ex pectin ii.anv souls to be converted before it closes. Later. The meeting at Bascomb Chapel ciosed on the night of the fifth, after a continuance of 12 days. A glorious meeting, it was. 59 precious souls converted and 30 joined the church, with most as many to follow.

We had as high 45 neni tents at the altar at th same time, and left about 25 at the close of the meeting. It was indeed a glorious meeting. The collections were raised, and nearly as much more. On the first of Sept. I commenced my meeting at Mt.

Olivet, which lasted six days, running by the as sistance of Bro. Poe, both at once They were only 10 miles apart, and I would range from one to the other. At Mt. Olivet it was the most thorough revival I ever saw. One day I did not get to preach, because we all shouted all day long.

It was impossible for a sinner to stay in the house without going to the altar. 18 ioined the church Our 3rd Quarterly Meeting was held at Sluloh, the 7th and 8th. Bro Stamey was on hand, in the spirit of the Master. 1 he meeting is goinj on at Shiloh, four converts ester day, and a revival among the mem bers. Bro.

E. J. Poe, of Randleman, and a candidate for admission into Con ference this fall, has been with me all the time, and is doing fine work. He preaches and works with ear nestness, and is well calculated to take charge of a circuit. You may expect good reports on all the lines at Conference.

Brethren pray for us. Yours truly, D. P. Tate. Reviv al at Chapel Hill.

Dear Bro. Reid: The popular Presiding Lider of the Durham Dis trict, and some of my other friends say, Why don you tell the Advo cate about the wonderful revival of religion at the M. E. Church, South at Chapel Hill, N. of recent, date?" lean only tell a part or it, and leave the remainder for eteriiif-v to reveal.

The oldest citizens say that such a glorious work of grace was never enjoyed before Orange county, N. C. Bro. VV. F.

Strowd and Rev. W. II. Cuninggim, L. E.

will please accept my heartfelt thanks for conducting two praver meetings for me the day I was so unwell that 1 could not attend church, and I hereby acknowledge my gratitude to all of God's children that assisted me at the altar and elsewhere. Like Aaron and Hur of old stayed up Moses' hands in the day of battle until sun set andvictory, a large number of soldiers oi the cross of both various ages, neld up my bands tins great re vival. On the first day the Holy Spirit come down upon us, and manv hearts and hands were prepared for the work which was before us, and one soul was converted, and on each succeeding day we said in our hearts, surely this is the day of the I believe that every soul that ior mercy at the aitar went a way justified by faith in the Savior of sinners, except one man that was unwilling to forsake his sins. "Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him, and to our God, foi he will abundantly pardon." Isa. 55:7.

Many old difficul ties, which separated friends and families, and kept souls from the church and the cross, were removed by the mustard-seed faith, and perhaps at least CO persons that had grown cold and lost their spiritual vitality were happily reclaimed. If there was such a great feast and time of rejoicing when the prodigal son returned, you may well imagine that when scores of wanderers came back to the Father's House almost at once that our happiness defied discription. All the cider rings, and liquor clubs and other hell-traps in town were literally destroyed. Sinners of all classes were reached and led to Christ; some of the most intelligent and refined ladies and gentlemen of the first circle of society, and some of the vilest mortals that ever disgraced the human family. how strong, rich and free is the precious blood of Jesus! The congregations were very large and exceedingly attentive, and after I preached my thirtieth sermon during the meeting and the last soul at the altar was regenerated, I felt that our duty was discharged.There were 50 accessions to the Sunday-school, 82 candidates baptized (by pouring of course,) 9S accessions to the church, and 148 souls converted (that we have heard from,) swelling the number to more than 200 precious immortal souls that received the seal of the divine government and the image of the King in this beauty.

On old negro man was convicted at our meeting, and his friends took him to the colored Baptist Church in this place, and he was converted, and now they have a great revival in progress there, and many souls Or a Good Piano for $23.00 cash and 10.00 per mouth.
