together with addresses by Rev. George Smith, President Cravath, Rev.
Eugene A. Johnson and B.A. Imes closed the delightful day and another
meeting of the Central South.

Florence, Ala., is to be the next meeting place.

Rev. J.H. Frazee of Knoxville Pilgrim Church was received "by letter"
into the Central South Association. Also Rev. Lot Lake of the Welsh
Church, and Rev. F.E. Jenkins of New Decatur. The latter reported his
church as expecting to join in the near future. The Plymouth Church
Knoxville, was received in response to its application, by letter; the
two delegates appointed, business men, were hindered from coming.
However we have these tokens of the blessed Gospel spirit uniting these
churches in fraternal union, we hope in spirit as well as name, and
casting out from the Lord's people the demon of color-caste.

Not the least interesting feature of our gathering was the presence of
the many bright and promising young people at Fisk University. And we
renewed our appeal for a Theological Seminary, which is greatly needed.

brush rather than following the road. For ten miles before reaching Deer
Lodge, I followed closely the track of the storm, the week before. Trees
were torn up, houses and barns unroofed, the fragments, in some cases,
being strung along the way for rods.

There were new roofs and one or two new houses along the road. The men
had been so busy fixing shelter for themselves and their neighbors that
they had done nothing toward cutting trees out of the way. I got through
in time to dry out a little, take supper with brother Lusty and attend
the Christian Endeavor meeting with him. Twenty were present; they have
now twenty-six active members. Next morning, I examined the buildings,
found the church building injured but little, it having moved only two
or three inches on its foundation. But the school-house was the next
thing to an utter wreck. It will ha
