THANKSGIVING DAY SERMoN.-The sermon
preached at Rev. Doctor Tenney's Church !.
on Thursday OF Last We k, by Rev. N. N. 8
Williams was highly acceptable and able
effort Some interest was felt to learn shc
views Of the speaker, as he is comparatively
a stranger in this locality and has been con-
tent to quietly aud ostentatiously attend to
the especial duties OF his profession, without
seeking nm opportunity to utter his opinion
on the present crisis in our Couutrys affairs
but the sentiments embodied in this sermon.
were such as to convince all that the speaker
has decided convictions on the all en- srossinp
topic of the day, and knows how and
when to express them. The audience gave
! him an attentive ear and from the indica-
tons at the time, and the praise expressed
since by good judges, we arc sale in affirming
that no previous efor, here in this line
has met with more decided approval. We
refrain from making any quotations, or COM
mcnts further, for to meet general desire,
the sermon has been printed and is now for
sale at Moses llllc's Bookstore and ut this
Office.
