Sermon by IL. =. McArihur.
within The last four months Calvary Baptist
church has gained considerably both In cOngrega-
tion and religious status, aud all through the zeal
and influence OF the Rev. R. 8. Macarthur, who since
his advent has paid the greatest attention 10 his pas
toral duties and has gained the respect ana admlra
rion OF his congregation. Yesterday he prea ched
most eloquent sermon, which was listened to with
the greatest attention, taking for Ills text "Never
man spake like this man''J0bn VII. AZ. We must
not suppose that all The sayings OF Christ are re-
corded by the EvaDgeIsts. John clearly teaches
tnat many things were known TO him which was not
written, and Paul gives one OF Chrsps most pre-
cious sayings-a saying which Is not recorded In
any OF the gospes-.It is more blessed to give than

Judea must have suggested profound lessons OF
Gods love in the past and His providence in the
present. and we may be sure tnat CHRIST did n0t ia
to use these means for instructing his disciples.
His preaching produced wonderful impression
upon all who heard him. All the circumstances Of
his life tended to deepen this impression He was
not taught in the schools; he did not associate with
the learned Of his time, and ne was from the
despised village of Nazareth. We know nothing OF
his personal appearance, his tone OF voice ms ges,

Weary Not in Well DoiuG-Scrmon by DR..
Krotel.
The rather quaint though decidedly pleasing little
Evangelical Lutheran Church Of the Holy Trinity In
West Twenty first street, had yesterday morning
very earnest, but not very numerous congregation
The pastor, Rev. G. r. Krote, selected from the
episte OF the day hs text "Let us not be weary in
well doing,n and delivered thereon very earnest,
eloquent ana exhaustive sermon and one that riv-
eted the attention OF all his hearers. These were
seemingly mostly regular attendants at his minis.
trations The fair portion Of the congregation were
not alt gether regardless Of the effect upon
the eye OF richness and color In dress, but
they, In the vast majority OF cases. wore fabrics Of
subdued colors With pardonable desire to at
tract little attention to themselves, they were un
doubtedly, themselves attracted to the church
mainly from a sense Of religious duty. The Scrip
tural injunction,
'.BE NOT WEARY IN WELL DOING"
the preacher said, re erred not merely to the imme-
date rendering OF homage to God by spiritual devO
ton but it referred with equal force the necessity
OF wearyng not In well doing towards our nelRhbor5
by acts or kindness ana OF charity This Is the full
meaning OF the admonitiOn to weary not IN well

there Is danger OF our becoming weary and

those obstacles being largely the result OF our own
carnal nature. We must, therefore, seek the aid OF
Gods grace The more we increase IN grace the
easier It Will be for us to travel along
THIS THORNY PATH.
II is the endless repetition OF the struggle OF our
own carnal to Overmaster our moral nature
which makes this narrow and thOrDy road difficult

The body OF this church has been under repair for
the past three weeks, and it now being completed,
yesterday was ANNOUNCED as the day Tor the open

handsomely 1rescOed, The ceiling, though not
gaudy, has been tastefuly designed and richly
colored In lavender and sky blue. The side walls
frescoed in Imitation OF stone OF very light but
rich color. The altar, which is the most handsome
piece OF workmanship, has been newly decorated.

screened from the church by two very beautiful
damask curtains, approaching the color OF ofsolfeflno

a military body guard on all occasions

We hardly mentioned the fact Satur-

ernor made his advent Friday last fairly
cnvcloped by his body guard. 1t was
wrctched sight, indeed, and one that
never should have disgraced the coun-
try. If that guard was necessary, what
melancholy comment on the outragcs
and their moral effect, which Bullock
has inflicted upon this generous and
patient people. How must the false
Governor of Georgia have goadcd, and
abused, and mcariad with scandalous
membrance of these infections have
driven these men to think of the last
resort.
