About preaching and forgiving

"Preached at Macedonia Church, Davie County, from John 5:38 to a very large assembly of people, so much so that the house and the galleries were crowded, and it was said some 50 persons could not get into the house, yet all conducted themselves well and that night we had a prayer meeting with a large number of people."

From the New Philadelphia Report, with Macedonia, Muddy Creek Sunday, July 1, 1860.

Editor's Note: The text for John 5:38 follows: 

Jesus said - "You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me."

"Met at Philadelphia in order to settle the difficulty between Brothers Norman, Crater, Kiger and Space  which we are glad to say was completely settled, each asking the others' forgiveness and agreeing together that he who should ever name it again should be looked upon as guilty "

From the New Philadelphia Report, with Macedonia, Muddy Creek - Saturday, September 1, 1860.
