Baptisma1 Ceremony Georges Lecture
-Unfavorable Weather-A Peace
Breaker Bonded.
ASCENSION, Oct. "A, 1879.
EDITOR CHIEF:
A baptisn1rf ceremony took place in
this vicinity on Sunday, the 18th inst,
at Rev. Samuel G. Spencer's st. Philip
Church, at which there was q multitu-
,linous assemblage of white and coiored
spectators numbering at lesst 400. One
Of the most remarkable features Of the
occasion, was the immersion of Victorine
Smith, a decrepit colored woman who
has been endowed with the blessings of
longevity, having attained the extraor-
binary age of los years. The ceremonies
were conducted by Revs. Samuel G..
Spencer of Ascension and Basil Dorsey of
1berville, i'll a manner highly creditable
to themselves. In justice to Rev. Spe11-
Ger it is unreasonable to say that these
extraordinary ceremonies under his dis
cipline attract more people than any
other Of his colleague ministers can
bring together on similar occasions, {;
fact which is derived from the merit
he has acquired by preserving his own
dignity and that of his church. Being
,}isciplinarian and courteous in his de
pertinent, he thus made himself POPULAR
with his congregation aud enjoys the
respect of the community generally.
DR.. J. II. George, the phrenologist,
visited the community pursuant to his
engagement Sunday, the 18th inst, but
owing to the rain occurring on that day
he did not meet with much success.
However, he lectured to those in atten-
dance and examined the heads of several
persons, who seemed to have been favor
ably impressed with his discourse and
chronological delineations.
Since the beginning of the present
month we've had daily rains, not at all
needed at this juncture, the same being
injurious to the fast maturing cane
Several sngar-house whistles have been
heard and before many days most of the
sugar manufactures will be in opera
ton.
The instigator of the difficulty that
| occurred in the first ward, of which
mention was made by your correspon-
dent, has been arr.igned before Justice
J. G. Braud for disturbing the public
tranquility and by his Honor placed un-
der peace bonds. The Latin maxim of
obita principles was adhered to by the
Judge and the legal remedy properly
applied.
The District Judgeship is now the uni
rersal topic Of political discussion among
the Republican leaders ill this parish,
and there is a strong manifestation of
feeling favorable to the nomination of
Hon. John A. Cheeyers. The Judicial
convention could not place in candidacy
wortEier or more popular Republican
than this gentleman. So mote it be.
Observingly yours, -z
BRUDDER BONES.

EDITOR CHEF.
Please give space to the following in
your valuable journal. On Sunday, Oc-
tober II, we of st. Philip Baptist church
had Il grand revival meeting and bap-
tism, at which your correspondent, Rev.
S. 6. Spencer, Pastor of the above named
church, ot1iciated, assisted by that able
and staunch standard bearer of Christ,
Rev. Basil Dorsey, Pastor of St. Johns
Baptist church, Ibervile. The har-
vest" of this year, l am sorry to say,
was not as large us that of last year,
which numbered forty-four. Oae Of the
members baptized on the 18th had ar
rived at the great and honorable age Of
ITO years. After baptism and sacrament,
the members Of St. Philip spread a fine
lunch table in the church, yard for the
benefit of their fellow brothers and sis
tiers, who came from distant parts to
witness the baptism.
Elder Dorsey preached the baptismal
Sermon" which he delivered to the sat
istaction Of his hearers, and with great
credit to himself. There were great
many strangers and visitors present, at
least about eight hundred, exclusive Of
children. Some of our white friends did
us honor by their presence and sitting
with US. Every thing Went on quietly,
with nothing to mar the solennity of the
occasion, the day being a beautiful one.
at least till all was over, which was near
o'clock 7. NJ, when shower set in and
lasted till dark. Respectfully yours,
-.. Rev. SAMUEL G. SPENCER,
Pastor st. Philip Baptist Church.
