The Baptist General Association of West Virginia will meet with the Greenbrier Br.ptist Church at Alder son on Wednesday next, the 16th Inst., and remain in session until the 20th.? The ministers and laymen of the Gen eral Association number about S00, and our sister town of Alderson will surrender unconditionally to them, and for several days our Baptist brethren will hold despotic sway over the good housewives of Alderson and vicinity. The Greenbrier Baptist Church, in which the Association "will hold its meeting, w ed November 24th, 1781, and was consequently 100 years old fourtoen years ago. The church building has since been reolaced by two other buildings on the original site.? The records of the church, lfbw in the possession of Hon. George Alderson, are very interesting and entertaining to those who desire to know how our fore fathers transacted chuich matters a century ago. We give the following which we take from the Baptist Ban ner, the organ of the Association Some amusing cases of church dis cipline are to be found in the records of the Greenbrier Church. In the early part of this century men were arrested and imprisoned for debt, and often good and highly esteemed, but unfor tunate citizens, languished in prison for no other offense than their inability to meet their obligation* to their credi tors. It was the custom of this church to require all members to at tend divine services regularly, and if any one was absent for three successive meetings he was waited upon by a committee. A brother named Parker who lived on Snake Run, near Blue Sulphur Springs, eight or nine miles distant from the church, was absent the requisite number of meetings. Ac cordingly a committee was appointed to wait upon him and ascertain the cause of his negligence. At the next meeting 'Master' Walker made this record in the minutes 4 August 28th, 180 J, the brethren made their report re specting Bro. Parker's delinquency. '1 he reason of his not coming to church is this He has got entangled in debt, and the sheriff has a process against his body he is not willing to be taken and Is keeping out of the way until he can make out some way to discharge his lawful debts. When that is accom plished he will attend church more strictly." Just a year from that date Mr Parker appeared before the church with the report that he had adjusted his financial matters.' I'ktbu Anderson, mail carrier be tween Lile and Jetteville, this county, was killed on the 27th ultimo near Jetteville. A short distance from the latter place he had to lay down a gap In the fence, aud in attempting to dis mount from the horse his foot hung in the stirrup and the horse became frightened and ran, dragging Mr, An derson fifty or sixty yards over rocks at a fearful speed before the girth of the saddlo broke and released him. IIo was dead when assistance reached him. He leaves a wife and several children. Cards are out announcing the ap proaching marriage of Miss Lucie A. Handley of our town, daughter of Jno. A. Handley, Esq., to Mr. James Aaron (Jeorge, son of H. H. (ieorge, Esq., the ceremony to take place at the Lewis burg M. E. Church, South, at 8.30 p. m. on the 16th iustant. Cards are also out for the marriage of Miss Lillian Ilart Correll, daughter of Wm. N. Cor rell, Esq., to Mr. Ira Brinkley, son of A. S. Brinkley, Esq., the ceremony to take place at the Presbyterian church at Frankford at 7 p. m. on the same day. Wllllamaburac I(?ma. I take the privilege of thus publicly expressing my high appreciatiou of our glorious Reunion, i confess that it far exceeded my most sanguine expec tations. When we first drove down Main street and saw the gorgeous dis play of Hags and bunting and the great crowd of citizens there assembled, I confess to a sort of pleasant bewider ment for tiie time, and then to see the sociability and good feeling that pre vailed wo were more than pleased, and never did we feel so much laudable pride for our old county, her capital town, and her noble citizens. Surely the getters up of the occasion and the managers of the same are worthy of the highest commendation? those inde fatigable and never tiring ladies and gentlemen as well, who served in the Exhibition hall, serving the groat and good repast to tho hungry thousands there assembled, will be remembered as long as memory lasts with those that had the good fortune to be there. If any one of the groat crowd failed to get dinner, either in or out of the hall, it was their own fault for public proc lamation was often made that if any one had not had dinner to come and get it, and there was an abundance left both inside and outside of the hall. It surely was a grand success throughout. Some pretend to think that theso Re unions are calculated to stir up sec tional animosity, but we think they rather tend to foBter a fraternal spirit than otherwise. Rev. Mr. Dobbs commenced pro tracted services on the night of the 4th instant preparatory to the administra tion of the Lord's Supper on next Sun day. There was a basket dinner at the church on the 5th and two sermons. The one in the morning (which we heard) was an able and forcible exposi tion of the subject of baptism, and the one in the evening was announced to be a further setting forth of the same doctrine. Mr. Austin Wyatt, who was seriously hurt by a fall from a mill house which he and others were erecting, is recover ing very slowly. A. B. \V. The fall meeting of this Presbytery, held at Green Bank. Pocahontas county, was a memorable meeting in many re spects. Owing to distance from the railroad the number of presbyters iu attendance was somewhat smaller than usual. But this lack was more than made up by the large congregations as sembled. Day after day the church was full and more than full. v Immediately after the call to order officers were elected, Rev. L. A. Mc Lean being elected Moderator. And in the easy and efficient discharge of his official duties he proved himself at home in the chair. In the routine work of Presbytery nothing of special note was developed. The great causes of Home and Foreign Missions were presented. That ad mirable little sheet, the Home Mission Bulletin, was adjudged by Presbytery to have fulfilled a useful mission hith erto and to have won a right to con tinue existence. It was commended to all who have at heart the welfare of Presbyteriauism within our immediate bounds. The Lewisburg Female In stitute also had its inning, and came in for a large share of Presbyterial com mendation. On the whole Presbytery's work appeared to haye been faithfully looked after evidently its committees had done somewhat more than permit themselyes to be appointed. Popular interest rose to high-water mark on Friday, when a monument to the memory of Rev. E. F. Alexander? the late pastor? was unyeiled. This is erected in testimony of the love of those among whom he labored. Pres bytery as a body engaged in ceremonies appropriate to the occasion, with hymns, prayer, a memorial read by Rey. D. S. Sydenstricker, D. D., an address by Rev. W. McC. White, and remarks by other members of Presbytery. The attendance on this day was variously estimated at from seven hundred to a thousand. This large outpouring of people from tar and near, and the unre strained flow of tears from men, wo men and children, witnessed the influ ence of the departed pastor far more impressively than words could tell it. He being dead, yet speaketh." And while the present generation shall last, perhaps longer, the memory of that godly man's life will linger with whole some power throughout that region. There was preaching every day by some one of the visitors, and at night the services were under the guidance of Rev. C. M. Howard, the evangelist.? One of the best and most appreciated sermons was by Rev. Dr. Lacy on the subject of Family Religion." On Sunday the Lord's Sapper was cele brated, the Moderator preaching and conducting the services. On their re turn trip the presbyters preached here and there. Any account of the meeting would be Incomplete without mention of the generous hospitality shown in the homes and the liberal collation of good things for the dinners on the grounds. The resolution of thanks was passed most heartily. The Spring session of Presbytery will rieet at Hinton. Several (;ro?nbrier farms for salo. For particulars call on or address Ed. L.
