on last Sabbath morning. the Rev. A. AroN.
delivered a discourse from Isaiah So. l:
"Cry aloud. spare not, lift up thy voice like
. trumpet, and show my people their tran
gressions, and the house of Jacob their sins"
He divided the sins and transgressions into
three divisions, viz: Sabbath breakers. in
temperance and slavery: all of which were
treated in the manner commanded by the
prophet, for he certainly did cry .'aloud"
and think his auditors will bear witness
to the fact that neither of the three subjects
were spared by him. 1t is only to be re-
GREETED that every one who violates the Sab
bath day. or who is in the habit of either SELL
ing or drinking that accused poison which
renders all who have anything to do with
it unfit for good society here. aud not fit
subjects to adorn society in the future. were
not present to hear what was so eloquently
and forcibly expressed by the speaker
But it he was earnest ia the two former
subjects, his browning effort was upon slave
~, which he showed oonclusively was in di.
rect opposition to the teachings of Christ,
and could not be consistently upheld by
those who were Christians IA deed and 10
truth AS whole it was a very able and in
teresting discourse, and although it cut pref
ty close. yet trust that il will yield the
peaceable fruits of righteousness" and tha
good may be done which will be found after

An Executive Committee of five, consist

was appointed to make the necessary ar
engagements for conducting the Institute
The question How shall education be

and crimes most alarmingly prevalent"
was discussed by L. A. Estes, Rev. Mr..
Atom, Rev Mr.. Colclazer and Mr.. Rentzch.
Estes and Atom advocated thorough morsl
instruction combined with intellectual train
ing. Colclazer thought the teacher could
effect little without the assistance of the par
ents. Some parents seemed to have given
up to the common and sabbath school teach
ers the entire literary. moral and religious
education OF their children. Rentzch thought
it would be we'll to have law requiring
parents to keep their children in school; by
this me ans their street education would 10 .

tinued for discussion at the next meeting Of
