THE SERVICES ON SUNDAY.

THE SERVICES ON SUNDAY.
There were services ON Sunday
morning gin afl the churches, except
the Episcopal, the Rector Of. which
the Rev. E. R..Miles, was absent in
Charleston. In the Methodist
Church, the Quarterly Meeting
which commenced on the previous
day was in progress, and we had
the pleasure of hearing two excel
lent discourses from the Presiding
Elder, Rev. II. NJ. Mood, morning
and evening; the evening discourse
being preached before the united
congregations from all the church
es.
The morning discourse was from
I Peter v: s. "Be sober, be vigi-
lent, for your adversary, the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour," &C.,
and after setting forth very clearly
and torcibly the power and arts OF
the devil, enforced the great duty of
soberness and vigilance. Sober
ness he defined to be freedom not
merely from the influence Of intox-
icating drinks, but from all infu-
enccs which disturb the proper
equilibrium of the mind. Vigi.
lence was pre-cminently the char
actcr;stic of Satan, and we should
meet his unceasing attacks with the
exhibition of the same quality
not indeed fight him with his own
weapons, but with the sword of the
spirit. In discoursing upon the
best means Of producing temper.
ance in our community, the Presi-
ding Elder expressed the opinion
that our people we're very much to
blame that tue traffic in intoxica-
ting spirits is not suppressed in
our town. But what mode does he
suggest? If any mode can be de-
vised by which property andintelli-
gence shall be fairly represented in
the municipal and State govern
ments, the white people of the
State at least will he profoundly
grateful.
The evening discourse was
from Romans xiii: 8, "Owe no
man anything, but to love one
another" and was vigorous pro-
test against the credit system of
the day, beginning in ''liens" and
ending in bankruptcy. 1t was
quite an elaborate effort and of a
very practical character, pointing
out the causes which bring about
an ENHANCEMENT in debt-a haste
to be rich, extravagant living, &C.,
as we'll as the ruinous conse-
quences upon character, influence
and reputation. To contract a
debt without some certainty of be-
ing able to pay it, was a lack Of
common honesty, and whatever
the motive the presumption was
against the debtor, and he was
made to pay the penalty in the loss
of character and influence. lie
advised the young especially to
avoid debt, and called upon all who
had become involved to meet the
issue manfully, reduce their cx-
penscs, and pay the uttermost far
thing. The ADVICE is well-timed
and practical.
The REV. J. l.. Martin delivered
one Of his ablcst and most impres.
sive discourscs in tho Presbyterian
church in the morning from the text

Excellent sermons were preached
morning and afternoon to the Baptist
congregation by tho Rev. R. N. Pratt.

easily tro,,ed out upon such occasions;
and "Rebels !''"Traitors ~ Treason"
and "Disloyalty!' are shouted now
with an alacrity and vociferousness
altogether too businesS-like.
Let US of the North take warning
in this matter from the sad example
of Ireland, which has been before the

to this day as warning example OF

the ruling power of England. after a
