DEAR BROTHER: I find in the 1st No. of Vol. V. of the Signs, a communication from our aged and justly esteemed brother, John Leland. I have ever taken a peculiar pleasure in reading his writings; there is, in general, a clearness of conception and perspicuity of language that cannot fail to give an interest to all his productions.
Of the Fifty-sixth Anniversary of the REDSTONE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION, Convened at Meadow-Run Meeting House, Greene County, Pennsylvania, September 4, 5, and 6, 1835.
“He hath shewed
thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do
justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”
Micah vi. 8.

Fairfax, C. H. Va. June 12, 1835.
BROTHER BEEBE, I have again to ask a place in the Signs, on a subject which some of us wish brought before those Churches that stand on Old School ground.

ELDER BEEBE: Having been a subscriber and a faithful reader of the second volume of the Signs of the Times, I have found them to support, maintain, and defend the doctrine of the Gospel as it was first delivered to the saints, and as such, I can recommend it to my Brethren. I cannot but view it as a publication of peculiar advantage to the Church of Christ, whose faith it is labouring to defend.
Hopewell, Oct. 30, 1835.
Bro. Beebe: There is considerable commotion in these parts concerning matters of religion. The New School Baptists are holding protracted or distracted meetings, accomplishing front-bench conversions.
“And Elisha came again to Gilgal, and there was a dearth in the land, and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seeth pottage for the sons of the prophets; and one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine and gathered thereof, wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of potage: for they knew them not. So they poured out for the men to eat: and it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot; and they could not eat thereof; but he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.”—2 Kings, iv. 38, 41.

[BY ELDER JOHN LELAND.]
I have never been able to find out on what part of the globe the Garden of Eden was planted. Geography gives no account of a spot whence four rivers take their rise. It is, therefore, most likely that the flood so changed the bed of rivers that no such place exists. If it were at or near one of the poles, one entire day was as long as three hundred and sixty-five days are in the middle regions: of course, God was six of our years in creating and forming the heavens and earth; and all things therein, and thus ceased from his work the following year.
