Religious Excitement Among the Col
ored People.

- = ~ 4
There has been great excitement
among the colored people of this town
for the last week Or ten days. in the
Methodist branch Of religious faith, and
large numbers have connected them
selues with the church. The exercises
are conducted by the pastor, Rev. j. L.
Baker, who seems to have unlimited
control of his people. No doubt the
pastor and many of his flock are moved
by genuine spiritual feeling, by the love
of Christ and the souls He died to save,
but it Is very unwise to stimulate or ex-
cite excessively the emotional faculty IN
the most mercurial, sensational of all
races of the human family. How natu-
raj, how easy for spiritual feeling to be
overwhelmed by animal excitement
and wild fanatcism. Tho nervous sys-
tenn, and the imagination under ire
mendous stimulation, are utterly disor-
dered, and the result is seen in sWoon-
ings, frances, and such unearthly visions
as the subjects really believe they have
witnessed. Better this, however, than
the recklessness of ungodliness as shown
by the blasphemous wretches whose
obscene language and barbarousyelliugs
disturb the repose of our pcace-loving
citizens. We do hope that our colored
friends will prosper spiritually and tenn
porally, and, therefore, we must be per-
mitted to assure them that both as
regards the present life and the life to
come, soul and body, humanity and re-
ligion, the apostolic injunction must be
needed: "Let everything be done de-
Gently and in order"
