RIVES HIS MARRIAGE. Mr. Childs's marriage, embracing the circumstances connected with it, forms an interesting and instructive chapter in his history. In visiting the house of Rev. John Early, of Lynchburg, Mr. Childs formed the acquaintance of Miss Martha S. Rives, a sister of Mrs. Early's, and at that time an inmate of Mr. Early's family. As their acquaintance matured, and they learned more and still more of each other's ha- bits, opinions, and dispositions, a strong Christian attach- ment se...ems to have grown up between them. Miss Rives looked upon Mr. Childs as a man of extraordinary piety; and she at first merely sought his society, and cultivated his acquaintance, for the sake of availing herself of his counsel and instruction as a spiritual guide. He it seems had enjoyed, and at the time of which we now speak, en- joyed the blessing of perfect love; or, what is known as sanctification or holiness, in Methodist theology. Miss Rives was an earnest seeker of this attainment in grace, and was therefore the more pleased with his society and friendship.
