CENTRE COUNTY Saturday after
noon, June 9th, says the Press, while a
thunder STERN was passing over Centre Hall,
IN this county, lightning struck the chimney
of Dir. Alexander ShanBons residence, in
that place, passed down the stove pipe and
out at the door, which was open, and in
which a small boy some two years of age,
was standing, killing him almost instantly.
He was strucl, on the side of the head, near
the temple, burning both face ana hair.
His little sister, who was in the same room,
was knocked down, and the mother likewise,
but escaped further injury. Medical aid
vas at once summoned, and applications of
cold water made, with the hope of restoring
the child to life, but the concussion ef the
brain was such as to prove fatal. He breath
ed but minute or two and expired.

RESOLUTION on THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG MEN
FOR THE MINISTRY.
Whereas there are young men among us who
feel called to the ministry, but are without the
means of acquiring liberal education; and
whereas there are doubtless members and
friends of the Church who would like to aid
such young men in getting an education there
fore
Resolved That this District Meeting appoint
three Commissioners, whose duty it shall be to
confer with any young men who may desire
such assistance, and also to receive any contri-
buttons any generous friends of the Church may
be willing to make for that purpose.
The Commissioners appointed under this re-
solution were Rev. 7. Sullins, DR.. j. L. Atlee,
and Rev. ]. X. Springfield.
Communications addressed to any of these
Commissioners at Athens; Tenn, will receive
prompt attention, and will be, to the extent that
may be desired, strictly confidential.

words about the recent examination at

vile. The writer has been a teacher and
has also attended many examinations,
both of male and female institutions of
high character, but never, either at High
School or College, one more creditable to
both pupils and instructors than that
which took placer at jacksonville on the
10th, 18th and 18th insts,s From the

ment, through all the classes, up TO the
young ladies most advanced in their
course, each and every one acquitted
themselves in the most creditable manner.

" The Methodist Church was crowd
ed to overlooking on Sunday morning last it be-
ing generally understood that the learned and
eloquent Bishop Wightman would oficiate. Be-
fore the regular services began, the solemn and
impressive rite of baptism was administered
to one candidate one was received into the fellow
ship Ct the church by letter. and two others join
ed in the usual way.
Bishop Wightman opened the regular services
by Offering up prayer so appropriate, so feel
ingly and beautifully expressed, that ascending
as we believe it did from pure heart, we could
not help feeling as if it were being accepted as
sweet incense before tile throne of the Great |
Am. The text of his sermon was taken from
the secOad chapter of Philippians, a portion of
the 18th verse "For it is God which worketh
in you both to will. 0fcourse it would be
useless for us toattempt from memory to do any
thing like justice to Bishop Wightman in a re-
port of his sermon OH the occasion. We will on
ly allude to one or two of the points which he
presented to our mind with far more clearness
than they were ever before received The hui
man spirit, he said, was of three component
parts intellect, sensibilty and will. Though
the intellect may be aroused to the Importance
of religious truths; though the sensibilties
may be worked upon and affected to their utmost
limit of endurance-as if one could feel the
legions of the damned with all the banners Of
hell tramping across his soul; there can be
no conversion unless the will is Influenced up
on to do all, dare all, and that persistently and
unfaIterinsly, for the cause of Christ. The mo-
ment a man gets such consent of his will he is
as much converted as he will ever be-; without
it there is no such thing as conversion. God
does not work In US the will, for we would then
be justified in waiting quietly His own time
but He worketh in us to will. By His Holy
Spirit He knocks at the door of our hearts and
awakens our sensbilities in this way He works
in us to will, helping us to resolve and to do
but the actual use of that will is a matter for us
to determine for ourselves. The Bishops dis.
course abounded in beautiful imagery inter.
twined with the clearest presentation of the most
solemn truths, and the crowded assembly seem.
ed to lose all thought of personal discomfort as
they listened with earnest interest to his words
We feel that VIC are trcading on very delicate
ground while making even this short reference
to Bishop Wightman's sermon, but trust we have
made no serious error /; if we have our columns
are open to the correcting pen of any of our cler
ical friends.
Bishop Wightman left on Monday for Greens
boro and Selma, Alabama, whence. after fulfill
ing appointments, he will probably proceed OF
a short visit to his home in Charleston.

synopsis of the Doctors remarks. The subject
was one on which he was perfectly at home, and
those who know him will not be slow to believe
that he did it more than justice. There was
nothing in DR., McFerrins appearance or even
in his perOration to justify anticipation Of more
than an ordinary effort, but as he "warmed to
the work" those who never heard him before be-
gan to realize that master in the art of Oratory
was before them. That he could feel as well as
speak was soon made evident. At the cOnclu-
