SITUATION IN EASTERN EUROPE.

So little has been done to change
the situation of military affairs in
in the Turco-Russian war, that we
need only state that the Russians
are mainly pushing their invasion
on the Eastern side of the Black
sea, while operations at the mouths
of the Danube are comparatively
suspended. Kars is actively be-
seiged and rumor of its actual cap
ture was mooted in the early part
of the week, which has not so
far been confirmed.
The latest accounts state that fir
ing is brisk across the Danube on
extreme right of the Russian lines
and left of the Turkish, but with lit
tie effect; also that Tchernavoda
is the point at which the Turks seem
to anticipate an Eruption of the
Russian army into the DObrudscha.
At the other side of the Black sea a
fight is represented to have taken
place east of Kars, with loss to the
Russians; but reports from that
quarter are very unreliable; there
seems to be no doubt that Erzeroum
is the objective point of the Rus.
slams and columns from BatOum and
Kars are said to be marching upon
it; we hardly, however, anticipate
much farther advance before KarS
is taken. 1t would be madness tt
advance in force with that strong
/ fortress in their rear.

FROM NEW PROVIDENCE.

1t is a great thing to be a Chris
tan; not an almost Christian, but
an altogether Christian. To have
the question of our salvation settled,
sins abandoned, pardoned, soul re-
newed by an indwelling divinity,
and life given away to God. This
makes the humblest man great, and
the absence Of this takes the great
ness out of earth's most exalted
characters. The realization of this
great truth made Paul the parsonage
instead of the prisoner when he
stood before Agrippa i'll bonds. 1t
had upset his youthful plans and
impaired life TO his soul. He was
perfectly self-pOssessed, entirely free
from resentment, and Overwhelm-
ingly generous to his enemies. This
grand fact that he was a Christian
was the secret of his success in with
standing trial enabled him to preach
successfully to those who held him
in bonds, while they We're incarce-
rated in the prison-house Of sin
and inspired a sacred bliss, and
kindled the secret fires of holy fer
vor in his heart. Many Of the peO-
pie in the vicinity of Chapel Hill,
Christian county, Kentucky, are
great. Twenty-seven of them have
recently become so. The meeting
closed last Sunday night. For fif-
teen days the ark of God moved
among them with broad capacity
and heavenly magnanimity. The
gathering was joyous. Service of
song, solemn sermons, powerful
prayer, and conservation to Christ
had their reward. On last Sunday
we enjoyed a most refreshing COM
munion service, and at night the
meeting closed. Much Of the seed
soWn will yet produce fruit ! trust.
The protracted meeting in the
Reform Church in this village closed
last week. Result-eight accessiOns.
On last Lords day" they reorgan-
lied and arranged for regular SER

attending the meeting, but learn
that it was pleasant and encouraging

earnest manner, won the esteem of
our citizens, and made many friends
in and out of his denomination.
They have secured the house of wOr-
ship formerly owned by the PRINT

\ recent act of the Legislature
has disturbed the quiet of our little
village. 1t seems that the PROPOSE

whiskey." Now is the time for the
decision of a question of vital iu-
portance to our fellow citizens.
There is but one sentiment touching
the evils growing out of the liquor
traffic; all admit that they are in
Vulnerable. As an auxiliary to the
success of a business house, our peo-
pie are divided, some cOntending

Extra SESSION OF CONGRESS.

The President has finally decided
to call a special session of Congress
in October. Many cOnjectural reasons
are assigned for this, the most prob
able being that the President antici-
pates considerable discOrd in the Re
publican ranks and fears lest it may
influence unfaVOrably the Republi-
can vote in the Ohio fall elections,
which take place two days before
the now assigned date for commence
ing the session.
1t demands something more than
party exigency to justify the delay,
for the public service is suffering
much Inconvenience, officers and
men in both army and navy being
kept out of their pay.

''HOnOr to Whom Honor is Due"
To be Immediately identified with
prosperous events in the Church of
God is exceedingly gratifying, but
to be guilty of self-laudatiOn in as
cribing causes to these events is I'M
pardOnable. l essay the delicate
and difficult task of making specific
mention of some of those human
agencies that have been most effect
i've in bringing about the state of
prosperity with which we are
blessed.
Coming to this charge (AntiOch
circuit four years ago next fall, l
found it without a parsonage. The
official board met me at my first
appointment, and resolved to have
a parsonage at once. B. w. Ussery,
ThOs. Batson and John EdmOndson
were appointed a committee with
full powers to procure one; this
they did in time to meet the wants
of my family. The purchase which
they made, and the manner in
which it was done met with uniVer-
sal commentator. After a while,
when much had been done and
much remained to be done towards
paying for the property, the Board
appointed J. T. Richardson and c.
d. Roberts to visit the several
churches, and rally the forces afresh
To the enterprise. Faithfully and
with fine results did they perform
their work. In the end, when the
tug of war" was at hand, the
Quarterly Conference constituted c.
ID. Roberts its sole agent to bring up
the rear and secure the property to
the church. A difficult task, to be
sure, but he succeeded in it. In the
meanwhile several committees of
ladies, whose names l would love
to mention, We're gathering up cur
rency in various directions for the
same noble purpose. There was i'm
deed general and harmonious CO.
operation. Let themal be hOnOred.
Another enterprise l found al
ready on foot when / reached here:
the cornerstone of Martha's Chapel
had been laid. Mrs. Martha Lowe
had been most active in procuring
subscriptions for its erection, and
for her it was named. 1t required
great heroism to carry out the libe-
raj plans which the brethren in that
community had conceived, but this
already existed in
Matthews, Harper, HargrOves and
Others. The house was completed
and. dedicated a year ago. The
brethren did it.
At Collinsville, where the gospel
was first preached by the writer in
the open air four years ago this
being substituted for the
old Texas appointment which had /
esurrected-therei is now completed |
the largest and best built house of
worship on this side of the river.
The nucleus around which is now
gathered more than a hundred /
faithful christians was a Sunday |
begun there previous to my /
first appointment by Joshua Smith
and his daughter, Mrs. Alderhold,
These names win ever be embalmed .
in the hearts of the people. The /
fervent zeal and consistent piety of
the servants of God in general who /
worship there have been the chief
factors in establishing permanently
the cause of Christ in their midst. !

CARLYLE ON THE EASTERN CUES.
TION.

We have mentioned the name of
Thomas Carlyle in our leading edi-
torial, as one of the English think
ers who considers the policy of sus-
tanning the Turkish empire as no
longer a tenable one for England.
The following is letter of his on
the subject which appeared in the
London Times of last Saturday:
CARLYLE's LETTER To THE TIMES.
LONDON, May 5.-The following is the text
of Thomas Carly'es letter to the Times:
1TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs-Sir. 4
rumOr everywhere prevails that our miracu-
lOus Premier, in spite of his Queen 5 prOcls-
nation OF neutrality, intends, under cover
of care for British interests, to send the
English fleet to the Baltic, or do some other
feat which shall compel Russia to declare
war against England. Iatterly the rumor
has shifted from the Baltic, and become still
more sinister on the eastern side ofthe scene,
where a feat is contemplated that Will force
not Russia only, but all Europe, to declare
war against us. This latter l have come to
know as an indisputable fact in our present
affairs, and the outlook is surely a grave
one. As to British interests, there is none
visible or conceivable to me, except taking
strict charge of our route to India by SueZ
and Egypt, and for the rest, resOlutely steer
ing altogether clear of any copartnery with
the Turks in regard to this or any other
British interest whatever. 1t should be felt
by England as n real ignominy to be con-
nected with such Turk at all. Nay, if we
still had, as in fact all ought to have, hand
TO save him from perdition and annihila-
ton, in Gods name, let the only future that
has any hope for him in il be that of even
now being conquered by the Russians and
gradually drilled into a peaceable attempt
of learning 10 be himself governed. The
newspaper cutlery against Russia is no more
respectable to me than the bowling of bed
lam, proceeding as is does from the deepest
ignorance, egotiSm and paltry national jeal-
ousy. These things | write, not on hearsay,
but on accurate knowledge, and to all
friends Oftheir country will recommend i'm
mediate attention to them, while there is
vet time, lest in a few weeks the maddest
and most original thing that a British Gov
eminent could do should be done, and all
Europe kindIed into the flames of war. l

favor of a most acceptable invita-
ton to help my esteemed friend
Horace Marshall keep "May day"
The occasion of the celebration was
first the assembling of our worthy
hosts children and grandchildren
all under the old and hOnOred roof
again, and to add spice to the fes-
tival premium and certificate
were offered to the two finest babies
under one year old that the neigh
borhOod could produce. Some fif-
teen of the finest blue-eyed little
ones were entered. The judges,
Rev. G. NJ. Day, Drs. Dawson and
Whitaker, tied the blue ribbon on
Master John H. WillOughby, Jr.,
and the red on little Miss Paine.
Two finer children ! never saw.
There was some talk of mobbing
the judges, as each mother on the
ground was sure that her baby was
the sweetest. Happily before any
harm was done we were put in a
good humor by partaking of one of
the most bonutiful and delicious
feasts that ever man sat down to.
"Twas then this gallant Saxon
held his own" and "acted well his
part"
Besides some forty or fifty neigh
bOrs, we had with us Rt. Rev. Bishop
G. 7. Quintard and Rev. P. A. Fits,
who were visiting in the neighbor-
hood; also our jOke-loving friend p.
II. Keesee, of GAINESVILLE.
May our honored host and his ex-
cellent and beautiful wife live to see
many, many bright May-days with
their gallant sons and handsome
daughters, with their children and
neighbors gathered around their hos
pitable board. Mr.. MarshalI's pros

work. Boys, go and do likewise.
