which the minister endeayored to show the

Thirty-seyen scholars were converted
during the month-twenty-fve in the First
church, five in the Second, one in Grace
street, two in Leigh-street, and four in
Sidney.
The question of discussion for the eve
ming, "What is the best method of securing
the regular attendance Of officers, teachers,
and scholars 2" was discussed by Rev. G..
G. Chaplin of Danville, J. B. Watkins,
Colonel Thomas j. Evans, H. K. Ellyson,
J. E. Burress, P. E. Gibbs, and Professor
Harrison of Richmond College. The speak
ers generally agreed that the exercises of
schools should be made attractive, the man
ner of instruction interesting, the teachers
should visit absentees, and some advocated
a visiting committee, who should be fur
nished with q list of absent scholars. 1r-
regularity Of teachers should be corrected
by discharging all who habitually absented
themselves. A resolution was adopted to
take up collection in all the schools on
the last Sunday in this month for the benefit
of the ShOeleSS children of the mission
schools. Adjourned, with prayer by Rev.
G. H. Ryland. ..

BROAD-STREET METHODIST.


Rev. J. E. Edwards, D. D., preached on
Sunday morning an Introductory sermon
suitable to the relations just then COM
mencing between himself and the Broad
street church as pastor and people. His
remarks were based on the words used by
St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians
second chapter, first to fifth verse, inclu-
sive-" And /, brethren, when l came to
you, came not with excellency of speech
or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testi
mony of God. For determined not to know
anything among you save Jesus Christ, and
him crucitied. And was with you in meek
ness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
And my speech and my preaching was not
with enticing words of mans wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of power !;
that your faith should not stand in the
wisdom Of men, but in the power of God"
DR.. Edwards commenced his discourse
with vivid description of Corinth, its peo-
pie, its manners, and its customs, and sug-
gested that the reason of the apostles Ian
guage, I" in much fear and trembling" was
due first to the great importance of the work
which he had been called upon to perform !;
and secondly, to the state OF society which
existed there, composed, as he said, of two
classes-the learned and polished Greek,
and the rabble, composed of the ignorant
and debased of all nations who had settled
there. The sermon was mainly an exposi-
tion of the mental and physical condition
of Paul when he wrote this letter; but it
was the settled purpose and determination
of the apostle to preach only Christ and
him crucifed !; and he preached under the
direct influence of the spirit of God. The
speaker drew from these the duty of the
Christian minister of this day: that, "not
with enticing words of mans WISDOM he
should speak forth "the whole counsel of
God," knowing nothing in comparison of
"Christ and him crucifed." In conclusion,
he expressed the hope, that the pastoral re-
lation just begun would be productive of
great good, and he declared his purpose, in
his ministrations, to follow, so far as the
grace Of God was given him, the example
and the teachings of the great apostle Of
the Gentiles. .......
