Warring told Cy Mills how he was in the pursuit of his duty as attorney for & client for whom he was endeavoring to obtain bonds. A controversy occurred be- tween himself and Mr. Barton. [Here he submitted a paper to show that wasao admitted attorney from Kentueky, and not, as had been |, an offshoot from How. ard University} During this controversy Barton seize! hold of him and ejected him fercibly from the court room and struck him. Mr. Frank Closs, counsel for Mr. Barton, on cross-examination, drew out from Warring shire, A. M. Smith. THE REPORT OW HOME MISSIONS was made by Rev. H. W. Wyer, of Warren- ton, Va., and ted. After referring to the importance the work and quoting from the reportof the ding secre- tary of the board, the re “The time, we think, bre » nas come when we should piace it in the power of this board to enlarge its work and prose- cute it more efficiently. We do earnestly bope that ail of our cburehes during the pre- sent year may be aroused to their daty in — great work and to an increased lib- erality.” Mr. Wyer addressed the association on the importance of the work, especially as the lide of emigration is pow set lowards tae south. and those who wiil settle there must bave the gospel.

Mr. Barron urged the importance of the work among the Indians, and hoped that the board be aseisted in carrying tbe work along the railroads, thus hepine, pace with the mareb of civilization.

The colored people of the south being almcst instinctively Baptist people, have great claims upon them. They az southern people knew more of the wants Of the colored race than others. THE INDIANS, TOO, HAVE CLAIMS on them; some of them were their frieads in the lost cause. It struck him as amasing that the colored race were taken such good care of by the ernment, while against te other—a superior race—it has turned its face. As to the Indian war he had no dont. but that if the policy had been a concil‘atory one the present troubles would not have been. They have been robbed, starved, and goaded on into rebellion. He ted that while all the care is bestowed on the colored race, the superior rece—the Indian—has been treated indifierently, and isnow threatened with extinetion. le urged thatit was the Guty of Coristians, at least, to treat them as w™es. He urged that if the board should per- ish, £0 would the Southern Baptist Aasocia- —_ One is intimately connected with the other. Mr. Carroll read from the minutes show- ing that but smal] amounts had been con- tributed to this cause by the Potomac assc- ciation, and he urged thatevery church in- crease its contribution. Mr. onl apety spoke especially of some of the results of the work among the Indian tribes, referring to a large and influential bedy—the Creeks—now civilized, the mostof them Baptiets, who needed educational fa- ellities. He wanted to see schools not ouly for the boys, but FOR THE GIRLS. He was tired of 80 much taik being m>ie bout boys’ education and so litile about iris’.

Mr. Cone, of Riverton, said tbat no effort bad ever been made in any of the church 8 with which he was connected in behalf of the fund, and he believed that the pastors had been direlict in this matter. He knew his church of oply ten members, and he would atk that $5 be put down for that church. He urged that they show their faith by their works. Mr. A. M. Smith, of North Fork, statei that as Jong ago as 1857 there was a minis- terial relief fund, and at his church they had @ fund of $130. Rev. Mr. Shepherd said that they should not only give put should also engage in spectal prayer for those brethren, and he asked that after prayer for them that a collection be taken up for thetr benefit.

That in the opinion of this asso- ciat.on it is the duty ofall the members of or ¢ churebes not only to practice total ab- stinence from ail that can intoxicate, bat to use every proper effort to stay the tide of in- temperance which is sweeping over our land. The resolrion was adopted. Notice was given toat a prayer and con- ference meeting would be held in the First Church (13th street) to-night at 7:30 o'clock. The moderator (Dr. yynes) remarked that the session had been to him a very pleasant one, and be trusted it had been to all a very profitable one. He could not help but feel that they were entering upon @ new era, and if they all could catch the spirit of consecration which had been spoken of, — results would follow the meeting. God grant that it may be so, and with the pastor and people of 13th street may God’s blessings abide. The hymn, “Take the Name of Jesus with You,” was suvg, led by Rey. Mr. Jadd on the organ.
