Our Reporters Sunday Notes

LUTHERAN CHURCH-Rev. j.. F.
kiscr took for his text the parable Of
the wheat and the tarcS. lie regard
ell the field here alluded to rs en-
bracing the whole world, and did not
restrict 1t, rs some commentators do,
to the christian community. 1t is the
duty of christians to labor in the
whole field, spreading the gospel into
heather nations. Satan has sowed
his noXious weeds secretly, but
Christ worked openly, and comm,nd.
ed His disciples to preach the Gospel
everywhere. Good seed are sown but
iares have been found among Them.
Satan is never idle; how important
then is watchtulncss and activity on
the part Of the christian Church.
METHODIST CnuEcII-Hev. O. A.
Darby preached from the words, Gle
being dead, yet speaketh." He first
presented mans influence upon his
fellow man in this natural life. He
then directed attention to the dread
full fact that this influence lived for
veal or woe after man had passed
away. and was only lost upon the
shores Of eternity
He showed that the proper use Of
this influence was one of The grave
responsibilities of man. and urged in
conclusion the acceptance Of the
Saviour as the only sure means of
meeting it.
At night Rev. w. y. Richardson
preached an eloquent sermon from
the words, ''As the bird by wander

fe has been impaired. like clay in

life has been impaired, like clay in
the hands of the potter. Man is said
to be dead" IIo is darkness"
itself. You must rcsto re life to the
dead before he can rise up; and i'm
part the power of vision to the blind,
before he can sec. This work is ais O
described in scripture as a Creation"
n resurrection" a "ncw BIRTH" the
taking away the heart of stone and
the giving heart of hesh," which all
imply n supernatural work effected
by the Holy Spirit. All the means
of grace are Intellectual without the
operation Of the Spirit. The Lord
"opcncd the heart of Lydia" before
size could receive the gospel.
Yet in all this there is no violence
done to tie will. The spirit so &c.
news the will of man, illumina ties his
mind, and PAGES before him such
new views and motives that he tlrns
to God with all his heart. Convcr-
sion is the sinners comm; forth from
his spiritual soruichrc as LEU, from
his natural sepalchre, freely and
voluntarily. after life has been i'm
parted. God has been pleased to use
man rs his ms .rumcnt in converting
sinners. We must do this NV work
by prayer, and 10y II holy life and
example.

A Singular Occurrence in Texas.

A man named AIKEN, living seven
miles northwest of this place, was plow-
ing in his field, when he heard dull
rumbling sound like that of stones fall
ing in water. Suddenly his horse
leaped to the lett and began a furious
run, and before Mr.. A. could under
stand the phenomenon the earth gave
way under him and he went down a
distance of twenty feet into cold
stream. Mr.. A. began to struggle
against the rapid tide and gained the
bank, along which he groped his way to
the place in which he fell, sometimes on
dry rocks and again in eddies waist
deep, but finally placing his feet on
terra frma. A party went OH the fol-
lowing day and explored the channel a
distance of several hundred yards either
way. The stream is represented as be-
ing ten feet wide by four or five deep,
the whole passage being about eighteen
feet wide by eight or ten feet in depth.
