SUNDAY.-I.ast Sabbath was one of those
glorious autumn days that tempts the LATEST
to enjoy its sunshine and brazing atmos-
phere, and permits none, who can possibly
escape, to remain indoors. just one of those
days, on which the most natural and agree
able thing to do is be devout. and which will
draw out more people to church, shan a
score of eloquent divines.
At the Catholic church, Right Rev. Bishop
Kean, of the Diocese Of Richmond. deliver
ed two interesting discourses, morning and
evening. In the morning his subject was
the sorrows of Mary, the seven great dolors
through which the Blessed Mother passed.
Each of her seven trials was graphically
pictured, and the great lessons they were
designed to teach fully set for it. Bishop
Kean, is fluent spea ker, connects his SEN
fences closely and uses no super1ucus words.
Each syllable counts, and strikes straight to
the mark at which it is aimed. He rivets
the attention of the listener from the COM
mencement to the close, and leaves food for
abundant thought with those who follow
him.
In his official capacity, he congratulated
the congregation on the evidences OF pros
perlty with which he had been greeted, and
commended the Jealous pastor for his hard
and richly crowded labors in this parish.
Especially did he impress upon his hearers,
the duty and necessity of encouraging and
fostering the new school which has just been
started under such promising circumstances,
assuring them that if properly cared for,
it would prove one of the most important
auxilliaries to the Church, as well as great
promoter of the public good.
AT the Episcopal church, in the morning,
Rev, Mr.. Mason, of Monroe county, preach
ed, and at night Rev. Mr.. Eggleston, of
Charleston, delivered fine sermon.
At the second Presbyterian church, the
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Booker, preached in the
morning, and there was no service at might.
There was no service at the 1st Presbyter-
ian church in the morning, and at night

dressed to the reason'and understanding of
