where I had the privilege of talking and meeting the friends.

A MOTHER TEACHING REVENGE.--"We know the mother in the home of
the mountaineer is a strong influence. How important that she be trained
to occupy this position! I have sat at the fireside and heard the mother
relate the story of a murder and turn to her eldest boy and say, 'Mind
ye, if ever ye meet up with him, you'll not forget to do what ye'er
mammy learned ye to do.' And that boy will not forget unless the grace
of God keep him."

AN INTERESTING CONVERSION.--The month has been a most blessed
one to us at Deer Lodge. The meetings were not large in numbers, but
they were rich in power and full of spiritual blessings. The report that
---- was converted spread quickly, and a large number came last night to

part in our meetings, and it is no small pleasure to hear them testify
for Christ.

pupil in the school last year, to be deacon immediately upon his joining
the church. One of those who joined the church made an attempt on my
life last year. Though he is nearly as old as I he is now a docile pupil
in the fourth-reader grade."

HEATHERLY CHAPEL.--The new church in the mountain field, in
Tennessee was organized in November, and is called Heatherly Chapel. It
is enjoying a very interesting revival season. About fifty have been
hopefully converted, twenty-two having joined the new church. This new
church is an important addition to the work which the American
Missionary Association is accomplishing in the mountain field.

A USEFUL CHURCH.--From Corbin comes the message of deep
spiritual interest and large usefulness in the church. At the last
