Memorial Services OF the COiOrcd
People of Memphis upon the
Death OfCh;iricS Summer.

Memorial services were held IN the Cen
trail Baptist church on Causey street, w. III.
Phillips, pastor, on last Sunday afternoon at
three O'Clock The church was (lrapel in
mourning, and over the pulpit were the fol-
lowing words:
To the Memory OF Charles Sumner,
Who died March IL, 1874.
The services were opened by the choir sing
ing very appropriate words for the Occa sion
to the tune .Shacmat. This was followed by
a very solemn and impressive prayer adj
dressed to the Throne Of Grace by the pastor.
After which the choir sang another hymn,
beginning with the words,
Thou art gone to ahc grave, etc.
The pastor, after giving brief sketch of
the life of Charles Sumner, preached the fol-
lowing sermon:
The memory of the just arc blessed, but
the name of the wicked shall rot. Mark the
perfect man, and behold the upright, for the
end of that man is peacc.-PrOverbs X, "a
Psalms XXXvii, 81.
What is it to be a just man? First, man
to be just must observe the golden rule, "Do
unto others rs he would have them do unto
him." without regard to sclfshncss, fear or
favor. Did Mr.. Summers life accord with this
idea of justice? So far as human perfection
goes, this great nation, and even the civilized
world, have spoken, and are speaking to- day.
Yes! He, above all other men in this coun-
try, has been the nevcr-failing and success
full champion of evenhanded Justice between
man and man. His life not only accorded
with this idea in feeling and sympathy, but he
had the courage and the ability to maintain
his position, and bring the rest humankind IL
to it. His courage. A great many men
think and plan out in their minds, but the
courage to stem the current of popular scnti-
ment. They have mems persons in admira-
ton. They court their smiles and fear their
frowns. Not so with Mr.. Sumner but like

Is men of foreign birth in Congress. In the
Senate, Carl Schurz, of Missouri, is q native
of Cologne, Germany, and is the only one Of
the 10 who has any trace of foreign accent.
In words where the "M" sound occurs it
thckens to d, and the p is almost lost. But
the Senator's language is excellent. Whcth-
or his speech be prepared or cX tcInpore he
speaks very iluently, and with an aprrccia
ton of delicate idiomatic distinctions of our
tongue that refutes Iamerton's maxim of its
being impossible for person to know two
languages perfectly. German is Mr.. Schurz's
domestic tongue, and English his public. SO
he must be excepted from that discouraging
rule. The other foreigner III the Senate is
Jones, a Welshman by birth, and as he is
worth 81 900 900, he very appropriately halls

noble man has died, but his good deeds would
live after him. Every colorcd man, woman
and child OF the present generation, and fol
many generations to come, would do lever.

William NOrrid felt that though the spirit
OF Sumner had departed from its cold tcnc.
ment of clay, it still lived, for angel hands
had borne it to the heavenly land. While
his eloquent tongue would never again speak
ON this earth in behalf of equal rights for all
men before the law, yet his spirit will ever
be guiding light. -
Other gentlemen followed in brief remarks,
all expressing great sorrow at the demise of
so great and good man as Mr.. Sumner.
A committee of five to draft a series of
resolutions was appointed, and it consists of
Mcssrs. Wagner, FELTON,, Knight, Norrid,
and Moss.
These resolutions are to be presented at
the memorial meeting which will be held at
the same place on Saturday evening, and at
which time Rev. Mr.. Murphy will deliver IL
discourse appropriate to the solemn occa-
sion.
The meeting closed by singing.

After the reception Of the report and pend.

Bcniiicld addressed the meeting very feel
ingly in regard to the past services of Mr.
Sumner to our race after which they were
unanimously adopted by a rising vote of the
vast audience present, among whom were
many ladies'. The President then read to

ERA, on Charles Sumner; also, the account
in the same paper of the scene around his
deatl-bcd and the funeral ceremonies in the
city of Washington. Many were deeply
moved by the reading of these extracts. The

Trouble in the s':,ri& stress Church,
EsOStos..

Boston, March l8.--Thcrc is trouble in
the Park Street Church, which the Rev. VI.
ii. ii. Murray is pastor. Mr.. Murray's
health Is broken down, on account Of too
much work. Within few DAYS MIR. Murray
notified the church that he was
GOING TO TAKE y SIX MONTHS VACATION
to recruit his health, and desired that they
should settle an associate pastor, rs the
church was large for the care of one man.
Last night one of the largest meetings of the
church ever known was held. Deacon Ezra
Farnsworth, who has heretofore stood by
Mr.. Murray, excusing all his eccentricities,
alaosinced That Itinsss For par,
talk, and proceeded for about half an hour
in strain that caused intense establishment
The Cist of his remarks was that Mr.. Muir
rays health had not been broken down in
their service, but on account of the burden
OF outside work he had undertaken to the
neglect of his parish duties. He was alto
gcthcr
EEMISS IN PhSTORATE WORK
and social duties. He lecturcd more than
he should, and delivered such lectures as Il
man in his place should not. 1t was not the
question Of giving him vacation. They
were not small men, but it was important
to know what would be aftcrward. Mr.
Murray's preaching had done GOOD deal for
New England, but not much for them. lie
had taken better care Of other peoples vine
yards than of his own. They were not so
strong in the vital constituents of a church
as two years ago, and unless the pastor
turned over a new leaf they were not likely
to be stronger for many years to come. 4
crowded church was
NOT CHRISTIAN GROWTH.
Numerous instances of his careless neglect
to make appointments at funerals and meet
ings were named, some OF them Of n very
embarrassing nature.
The short address was an Outspokcn aud
plainspokcn piece of criticism, apparently
coming from the over-burdcncd heart of
man who had endured as much rs he could
stand. There was some debate aftcrward,
nearly all admitting the
JUSTICE OF TIE CUSTOM,
and some reinforcing it in emphatic terms.
Finally, on motion of Deacon Farnsworth,
the pastors was fixed at 81 ,0OO commit
tee raised to confer with Mr.. Murray with
regard to his vacation and the supply Of his
pulpit The affair makes a great sensation in
