Asheville, N. Y., March 27.
By Chas. B. Reynolds
HAVE held meetings at Asheville; Chautauqua Co., since the 10th inst. There are three churches in the place, in a deplorably dilapidated condition. Buildings and members correspond. The members are only earnest in maintaining a bitter feud among themselves. Our coming has produced harmony; they are now united in opposition to the truth. The trustee of the school-house, a non-professor, but a liberal gentleman, gave us the use of the school-house. A number of church members, being unwilling that we should preach the commandments of God in the school-house, got up a protest and a petition. The trustee, anticipating their action, had written to the State superintendent, and had received a favorable reply. The interest has been increased by the opposition. At Blockville work on the new meeting-house is being energetically pushed forward. The committee hope to have it dedicated by the time of the Aurora camp-meeting. CHAS. B. REYNOLDS.
