For the Citizen.l
Mt. Moriah.

ed at Mt. Moriah Sd Sabbath o
this month to hear the sermon o
Rev. j. d. Braly in memory of Rev
L. K. Paisley. We would like tt
give full report, but feel that W,
could not do justice TO the occasion
The speaker in few brief, touch
ing remarks presented some of the
exemplary characteristics of Bro
Paisley, stating that the deceased
though young, had been father tc
him in the ministry. When il
gloomy doubts ne had sometimes
been almost ready to give up the
work, Bro. p. had given him such
encouragement as enabled him tc
press forward. The writer also
might add his testimony and say
that Bro. Paisley, though younger
IN years, was far in advance of him
in Christian experience, and was a
father to him in the ministry, ena-
bling him through grace to start in
full conservation to God. His
eyes have often been filled with
tears of gratitude when thinking of
what Bro. Paisley did for him.
The speaker took for his text,
Is. iii 10. After a clear and forci-
BILE presentation of "who the right
eous are" the immortality of the
soul was ably discussed, the bright
home that awaits the righteous was
graphically delineated, and the
frianHC op1 ocoOoioto, 80 D,o ID
specially invited to trust in the God
in whom he trusted. After the ser
mon was the sacrament of the
Lords supper, participated in by a
large number of communicates from
the different denominations, and
after the communion services a
bounteous dinner was spread under
the shade trees, and to the spiritual
refreshment was added the refresh
ment of the body and the recreating
influences of social enjoyment.
After an intermisslon of more
than an hour, Prof. r. 2. Yancey,
member of the Building Committee
appointed a few years ago to have
the church repaired, came forward
and after few preliminary remarks,
stated the amount of the debt still
unprovided for, and called upon the
congregation for help. With very
little effort, in a very short time, the
debt was provided for, to the great
relief of the committee and friends
of the church, After the tran sac
ton of this business we had another
excellent sermon by Rev. j. d. Bra
ly from the text, "What think We of
Christi" after which the large con-
gregation was dismissed. We no.
ticed that Pleasant hill, Campbells-
vile and Pulaski were well repre-
scented. We are always glad to see
and desire always to welcome our
friends from other communities.
Rev. Zachariah Parker of Chero-
kee, Ala, has been visiting his rel
atives on Dry Creek, and honored
Bohemian with a visit this week.
We mention him as a young man
of talent and energy and we predict
for him bright and glorious career
in the ministry, if God should spare
his life.
Rev. j. d. Brady left last week for
his field of labor at Pennington.
Our association with him has been
pleasant and we regret that he
could not stay longer with US.
In our brief history of the church |
the compositor made some mis-
takes in names which will be read |
lily noticed by those familiar with |
the names. Among the errors we
were made to say the learned Rev. |
L. X. Paisley, when we certainly
wrote the lamented Rev. T. X.
Paisley. In giving the succession
Of eldership we Internationally |
omitted the names of r. Z. Yancey
and j. Conye-s Smith.
w. N, Reed one of our veteran
and efficient soldiers of the Cross |
has kindly furnished US with the |
following list of ministers who |
have gone out from the Mt.
Moriah congregation. Many OF
them have finished their labors and |
gone TO rest. Some of them are in |
the vigor and strength of bright
