was observed Atwater as day of Thanks
giving and Prayer.
The two Societies, Methodist and sCongre-

Church at IL O'Clock, A. NJ, where religious
exercises Were conducted by Rev. D. NJ. Rog-
ers, assisted by Rev. E. C. Sharp.
Sermon by Rev. D. NJ Rogers from Psalms
81 chapter, S and verses. Let the people
praise thee, o God let all the people praise
thee, Then shall the earth yield her increase;
and God. ever our own God, shall bless US
The speaker prefaoed his discourse with the
remark, that he was not an advocate of the
union of Church and State, but would advo-
cate the union eff Religion and State, and
then very clearly showed that without the
influence of religion human nature is incapa-
bic of self-goyernment..
The text said the speaker, suggests duty.
LIST. Let the people praise thee This praise
should be universal-the Church should en-
gage in this praise She should take the
lead. She should guide the nation and not
the nation the Church. Congresses and Leg
islatures should praise God Communities
and families should praise God When a
nation forgets God it is like Sampson shorn
of his locks-had this nation not have for
gotten God the present unnatural rebellion
would not have existed. :, A, deserved COM
pliment was paid to the Chief Magistrate of
the United States for the answering course
pursued by him in the management of the
affairs of this great nation, and God should be
praised for raising. up and placing at The head
OF this nation a man so well adapted to the
times and the place as Abraham Lincoln.
The subject Of Slavery was handled with
out mittens, and the discourse throughout
was timely, and listened to with marked in
.terest by large audience s.
At the close of the exercises, collection
was taken up amounting to nearly SIT, which
was divided between the Freedman,s Aid
Commission and the Soldiers Aid Society.

The Portage County Democrat. [volume] (Ravenna, Ohio) 1854-1868, 1863-12-02

. Foa STATE SERyIoE.-The attention of
the reader is directed to an advertisement
calling for volunteers for State service, on
Johnson's Island. Men joining this Iorgani
zation receive all the bounties offered by
Government, and at the same time are not IL
able to the most severe service. The End
Lieut.. of the Company is from this County,
and Portage ought to be fully represented in
It. Capt. Sanford will be at the Collins
House, on Tuesday, Dec. 8, to receive all re-
cruits who may offer. Those inclined to join
the military service should seriously inyesti-
gate this opening for them, and secure privi-
leges that are unknown in most branches of
military service. 81
