| The Service of Song last Sunday eve
ming was exceedingly interesting. Josh q.
| Bailey managed the meeting in an admira-
| bic manner. After singing a number of
| sweet songs, Mr.. h. H. Hatcher was intro
| duced and delivered a beautiful address on
| 'MtsanthrOpy." He said he chose the sub

| Criminal Court commenced last Mon
| day, but not much will be done until next
| Monday. Judge McLemore is on hand,
| looking as young and handsome and well
/ dressed as our beauX. Criminal Court came
| in on the heels of the Chancery Court. Bro.
| Mooney, in his sermon here last Sunday,
| must have had our Criminal Judge and
| Chancellor in his mind when he spoke of
| the incorTuptible Judge, and described him
/ in such vivid cOlOrs; and gave lucid in
| depreciation of the words, judicial er-
| mine"
| MIR. and Mrs. Hine, of this city, gave a
very pleasant little party last Teusday

| very pleasant affair indeed, and although
| very few were expected, every one left per-
/ fectly delighted with their visit. Mrs. HIne
| is one of those good hOuse-keepers, who al
ways has something good prepared for the
| occasion, and at this time she was more
| than successful in her preparations. Such
| SOciables always give much pleasure.

| She was a sister to Mrs. a. Dillon and Maj.
John Ii. Anderson.

The Rev. q. q. TAYLOR. col, is still COL
Quoting prOtTacted meeting at the Second
Baptist Church. His text Sunday night
was taken from Nahum, I'd verse, Sd chap
ter. He went on to d. scribe the different
kinds of sins, each of which met with the
crack of the wIip ofGod. This crack of the
whip comes in various ways. When the
body was raclIed with pain it was to atone
for some sin; when atitctions beset us 1t
was to atone for some sin, The takin
away OfOur relations was frequently the
crack of the whip of God for some sin. He
spoke at so ne length on the Freedmen's
Bank; thatmany of them had made their
deposits in il, and fl ttered themselves that
they were growing rich; they became proud
and neglected the SanctuarieS of God, but
He came along with the crack of His whip
and scattered it to the fOurwindS. He gave
a vivid picture of the loss of a mother
would that we could give his own language
i'll pOrtraying the loss of a mother, but we |
will not attempt it. OF all the afHtctlons |
that man sustained the loss of a mother |
was the dearest. He then went on to il |
lustrate the Judgment Day; the sinner and |
the saint meeting the Master on that day,
drawing a contrast between the two. On
Tuesday night he took his text from the
5th chapter and 18th verse LIST ThessOlOnians,
pray ye without ceasing.' He spoke OF
and described saul, the once prosecutor of
Christianity, and his bold avOwal of the
Christian doctrine: his being stoned to
death and his prayer while being oned,
was forgive them for they knew not what
they do. Paul being struck blind; his APP
peal TO the LORD 10 KNOW what ne must no.
Ananias being directed to him; his fear of
Paul; Paul's restoration to sight-all being
the result of prayer, The opening OF the
Jail doors and release OF Paul from prison by
prayer. They had no time to pray, yet they
had time to gossip, to lie, 10 pilfer and to
quarrel, all of which time they might de-
vote to prayer-praying without ceasing:
Some said, "Nake me mad and I'll Tight"
IL was no part of Christians duty to hight,
but to pray without ceaSlng- When we
were sore with afllctiOu then we prayed;
when our bodies were racked with pain
| then we prayed; when the storm was lower
| ing over us, and the lightning was making
| its streaked forks through the sky, and the
| rumbling and rolling of heavens artillery
was heard, ana destruction as IL Wete was
staring us in the face, then we prayed. HIS
| desert ption of storm was magnificent.
| He told his hearers to pray without ceaSing,
| for there was a telegraph from earth TO
heaven, and that Jesus would respond to
| their messages. When you think you are
| forsakeu, pray without ceasing, and God
wi come as your help. THOSE mat pray
| without ceasing would have no time for
| quarreling, lying and talking, but when
| they come to die would nave happy
| death and meet with Jesus in heaven;
| then come and start on your way to Jesus;
| that those that I'D not pray without ceaS-
ingwOuld be cast out, and down TO eter-
| nal damnatiOn. But many prayed to-day
and lied tomorrow, but they were not the
prayers of the truly penitent- If we would
all pray more and pray with due penltence,
| all evil would be done away with. His
| wish to God was thai there was no evil IN
| our time; then there would be no need for
| court-hOuses and LAWYER He closed with
| an eXhOrtatiOn to serve the Lord and pray
| without ceas!ng. our reporter will not close
| without noting the Improvement which
| Mr.. Taylor has wrought in the good order of
| his congregation. order he will have, and
| to effect it, will stop in the midst of prayer
| even, to rebuke any disorder. He is also
| good reViyaliSt, and II 5 manner of conduct
