Our congregations are always large
enough to encourage usj but they arc, lor
the most part, a painfully listless ciowd of
passers by, who drop in to sec what is go¬

regular attendants.
CHAPELS.
We have four chapels or preaching
places, situated in dillerent divisions of
the city, and we hope they will become,
in process of time, the gathering place; of
four independent Baptist churches. Will j
the brethren at home join us in this hope? j
Two of the chapels are foreign built, one [

C. If. Gailhiinl,
Dear Brother— Your favor of April 21,
reached us July 2G, bringing the news that
we expected to hear a year ago— i. c. that
Brother Graves had sailed, and it i« need¬
less to say that it atKirds us much pleasure
to know, that by the blessing of Provi¬
dence, Brother Graves will lie with us in
a few weeks, and I hope in time to write
for the next monthly. And as I have been
without a yoke-mate so Ion", I will proba¬
bly appreciate him more highly when he
comes ; and I hope we may prove to be
true yoke-fellows. I hope he will bring a
number of Reports of the Board, Conven¬
tions, etc., for I have not had the pleasure
of seeing one since I reached Canton, and
therefore know very litilc of what is do¬
ing. I know that you have sent me such
tilings, and several other friends have done
the same, but from some cause unknown
to me, they have not reached Canton. If
Eou could send them by ship they would
: sure to come unless the ship was last.
The climate of Canton is said to be very
debilitating, and it may be so to some con¬
stitutions, though 1 have not found it to be
so in my case. But one " who puts on his
armor cannot speak as one who puts it
off." I am glad to hear you are trying to
have three men at this station. This was
my proposition, hut 1 have since that call¬
ed lor ten men, not only for Cantou, but
for a large number of towns, which arc as
wide open note as perhaps they ever will
be, until a mis-ionary goes there to give
them the words of life. I have visited
several towns around Canton, and have
always been treated as well as 1 would he
in America. The people in every town
offered us tea, fruits, and sometimes cakes.
It is true that one man was sioned near
Canton a few weeks since. But he de¬
served it; and had Iu; acted the same way
in America, he would not only- have been
stoned, but would doubtless have received
the contents of a pistol. He was drunk,
rode a foolish horse, rode over and crip¬
pled one man, hurt one woman, and struck
several others with his riding whip.
