Elder z. G. Sewell.

This distinguished devine of the
Christian Church, sometimes called
Campbellite, preached a series of
able discourses at the G. P. Church,
commencing Sunday morning and
ending Tuesday evening. His man
ner was earnest and logical, and
during the four sermons presented
the following points;
LIST, proper division and applica-
ton of the Word of God, showing
that certain parts of the Bible were
written to teach certain things, and
should be read and applied accord
Ingly. If a man wants to read an
account of creation, he can find 1t
in the first part of Genesis, and no.
where else. If he wants a history
of Abraham, he will find that in the
book of Genesis, but in no other
part of the Bible. And if any one
desires a history of the Jews de-
parture from Egypt, and their pas
sage of the Red Sea, he will find
this In Exodus and only there. But
If ore desires to understand the re-
Iigion of Christ he must read the
New Testament, which also is regu-
larly divided. The first four books
are intended to teach the plan of
salvation prepared by the Son of
God for men, and any one wishing
to learn what the gospel, the plan
of salvation, is, should read these
four books or any one of them, and
he obtains the desired information.
He will find that the death, burial
and resurrection of Jesus cons:i-
tutes the plan of redemption pre-
pared for men. But if one desires
to know what to do to become a
Christian, let him read Acts of the
Apostles and he will learn that les
son. That part of the New Testa-
ment was written to give US the
preaching of the apostles to convert
sinners, telling us plainly what sim
ners were required to do by those
inspired men, in order to be saved.
Acts of Apostles therefore is the
part of the Bible to read to learn
plainly how to become a Christian,
and then to learn how to live the
Christian, read the letters of the
Apostles to the Churches. 1t was
also claimed that everything neces
sary for man to do, either in becom
ing a Christian or living the Chris
tan, has been revealed, and stands
on record in the word of God, and
preachers should therefore preach
the word of God and not their own
views and opinions of religion The
world divides over the opinions oil
men, but not over what God says
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-08-07

that if all preachers would only
preach the word of God the reli-
gious world might soon be one. 1t
was also maintained that the char
acter and relationship OF men
should be regarded in applying the
word of God. Things applied to
the children of God should not be
applied TO alien sinners. neither the
reverse of this. 1t was argued that
the publican who prayed and was
justified rather than the other was
Jew, covenanted child of God,
and not an alien, and therefore i'm
proper to apply it to the alien now.
But the three thousand on the day
of pentecost were aliens, and there
fore the language applied to them
is applicable to alien sinners now
to teach them how to become Chris
tians. That Simon, the sorcerer,
in 8th of Acts was first preached to
as an alien, when he believed and
was baptized. Then afterwards in
same chapter he did wrong and as
an erring Christian be was told to
repent and pray for pardon, and
that this order of things must not
be changed now. 1t was also ar
gued that in the conversion of sin
ners in the days of the apostles the
Spirit did not work directly upon
the ones to be converted, but spake
to them through the apostles, tell
ing them plainly what they must do
to be saved. That Paul was called
across the sea by three distinct
miracles to preach the Word, the
gospel, to Lydia and others, who
received the gospel, obeyed IT and
were saved; and sinners now, by
obeying the word preached by the
apostles and written down in the |
New Testament, may become Chris
tians just as they did then, and need |
no direct power from on high to
enable them to do so, but The Lord |
promises to save them when they
obey Him.
Elder Sewell promises to return
to Pulaski at some future time and |
give US another series of sermons.
Those who braved the sweltering
heat to hear him this time will not |
fail to hear him with pleasure when
he comes again.

Parker's Store.

1t is not often the case that we
have such instances of devotion
and perseverance as the one which
has been so happily consummate0
here in the last few days. Eleven
years is a long period for Cupid's
victims to bow at the shrine of We
nus, and surely thrice happy is
he who is crowned with sue
cess. 1 have yet to learn what
means they employ or what prayers
they utter that strikes a reciprocal
ting thrill in the bosom of the idol
lied, yet the responsive chord is
touched and it vibrates to the tune
of eyes," victory is achieved and
the hymenial altar closes the pro
gramme and creates an episode in
their individual history. Mr.. N. S.
Phelps and Miss S. E. Vaughan
concluded to stem the vicissitudes
of life together, and in accordance
therowith they celebrated their nup-
tials in grand style last Wednesday
evening at s o'clock. DR.. j. M.
Lock of Lynnville Station tieing the
silken knot in a style short and
sweet. We congratulate our friend
in his successful wooing and win
ming the heart and hand of one of
our fairest, purest and sweetest
Young ladies. We wish the happy
pair a long life of happiness and
pleasure and may they successfully
steer their little bark over LIES
rough seas and safely anchor in a
haven of eternal rest. Attendants
Mr.. j. NJ. HARDWOOD and Miss Fan
ME Parker; Mr.. Gray Hopkins and
Miss Mollie Tidwell. The bride
and maids in their snowy white
looked as lovely as fairies from flow
cry land, while the groom and his
attendants seemed the embodiment
of manliness and grace. The role
of entertainments opened with q
melon treat rich ana rare, followed
by the marriage ceremony. Then
came the feast, but l will not at
tempt a description. Suffice it to
say that the tables groaned beneath
their weight of substantials and lux
uries and large number of invited
guests did honor to them in a man
ner characteristic of such occa
sions. The boiled custard was
splendid, and was an important
feature in the case. The supper
was superb and was in its arrange
ments creditable to those in charge.
The pleasures of the evening ex-
tended into the wee small hours of
the night and was closed by the
cutting of the BRIDES cake. Miss
Mollie Tidwen bore off the ring,
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1879-08-07

was awarded the premium offered
by the Buckeye Reaper Co. for the
best twenty acres of wheat raised
in the State. His average was
80 800 bushels per acre.
More interest is manifested here
in regard to schools than in Giles.
Schools are based on Normal meth
DDS. All teachers in the county are
requested to attend the Teachers
Institute" which meets about every
six weeks for the purpose of dis
cussing the best methods of teach
ing different branches. These meet
ings have proven very beneficial to
teachers, as also to the people at
large.
Recently a Sunday School con-
vention was organized by a few
teachers of different denominations,
which has been attended with sue
cess. 1t convenes monthly and its
purpose Is to establish the best
methods of conducting Sabbath
schools.
The health of the people is good
for the season. There is consider
able excitement in regard to the
yellow fever. Most all towns oil
any consequence throughout West
Tennessee are quarantined.
The public is divided in regard to
the compromise of the State debt,
but we believe the majority are in
favor of it. Respectfully,
II. p. WALKER.

Miss A. J. Vaughan the nickle,
Miss Nora Cheatham the button,
and DR.. Lock the needle. The re-
ception was given at Mr.. Ebert
Matthew'S the old residence of the
family. 1t was a grand affair, re-
fiecting credit upon its managers.
A superfuity of the richest cakes
and candies graced the table and
that together with the other enjoy
ables constituted one of the finest
receptions that we have had the
pleasure of attending for some
time. The fact that Miss Sarah will
not be removed clear out OF our COM
munity is some consolation to us,
and especially to our Sunday School.
Another link is formed in the
chain of calamities of this neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Cicero Woods dwelling
was destroyed by fire the other
day with everything it contained.
The fire is supposed to have origi
mated from the stove. Efforts are
being made by philanthropic friends
to set him up again. Hope they
will succeed. We extend him our
sympathy in this his almost irrepara-
bic loss.
Mr.. Rolicking Robert Randolph
Phelps and Mrs. Harriet Logue of
Maury county, with their families,
were visiting relatives in this sec
ton this week. Bob looks little
samer than ever.
Bulldozing has got to be a costly
affair in this country lately. Theo
dore Blankenship tried on with
an old gentleman named Stewart
the other day, but Deputy Sheriff
Vaughan with a posse bounced
upon him and HE'D him away to an
swer before Justice Parker on a
States warrant, was fined twenty
two dollars, and in default of bail
was sent to board with Henry AR
rowsmith awhile. Drawing a knife
on an old man is no pleasant thing
and Theodore will learn that that
sort of bulldozing doesn't pay.
Both are of Morristown. Master
Willie Rogers is sporting a watch
and vest chain. Go it while you
are young, Willie, for when you
get old you can't. Miss Fannie
Parker has opened the fall session
of her school at Hebron. Hope
she will have the success she merits.
Mr.. JEFF Vaughan has clothed his
corporal system in a new suit of
black which makes him resemble
a Pulaski lawyer. Miss Amanda
Vaughan will have to do the honors
at the Vaughan residence now. Her
genial nature and social qualities
fit her for the position. KULLY.

The colored people Of Pulaski
held a meeting last Saturday TO
take into consideration the compro-
mise of the State debt. Several
speeches were made for the propo-
sition and none against it. The
colored people in that vicinity seem
to be a unit for the settlement. 1t
does seem to us that the colored
people all over the State ought to
be interested in settling this ques-
ton. They will have only a very
small portion of the debt to pay,
and their prosperity must depend
upon the prosperity of the State.
We would ask our colored people
to think before they cast their ve.e
against it, Clarksyille Chronicle.

EVANSVILLE, ARK, July 9th, 10.
L. W. MoCoRD: DEAR SIR:-I no.
tice an article in your journal of
the 9th, under the head of "Arrest
ed for Murder" relative to a GER
tain circumstance which happened
in Crawford CO., Ark, near Lees
Creek. l am no editor, cQrrrespon-
dent nor critic, but the information
that you have received is quite erro-
neous, and probably capable of
prejudicially affecting the minds of
the jury which will be called on to
sit in Judgment on his case. 7 am
not at all interested in the decision
in any way whatever, but am ready
to see justice administered on all
occasions and it is the only way
that a moral government can be
maintained and continued. am
of the opinion that the Sheriff has
been misled by biased individuals
and probably by w. j. Morris
special enemies. l think that j. W.
Statler ought to have been sure of
the correctness of his story before
he lays it to the public view. saw
the parties only at a distance and
could not of course say great deal
of the appearance of the so-called
taders. The circumstances when
viewed from a proper standpoint,
would Indicate at least suspicion of
something else than traders. The
P. Master of this place received a
roll of handbills within a few days
after the stock passed through this
place, correctly describing the stock
and very infinitely too. took one
of the circulars and read it in the
presence of the said stock, and
compared description to stock and
never saw a more minute and cor
rect description in my life. The
comparison was not made until the
stock was brought back to this
place.
w. j. Morris and the public 10
cal public, 1 mean all read publica-
lions and the citizens of this place
were fully satisfied that the stock
had passed this place. Young Nor
ris and three others of the town did
go in search of said stock and
followed it near the distance as re-
ported. But the pretensions made
by the party are not known to US
here, or at least by your informant.
They captured the two men but did
not return them to this place, but
brought so many of the poor
stock back as they could get back,
their poor condition considered,
and herded them near here for some
time, until the claimant came
from his home in the State of Kan
sas. He paid said party the prom
ised reward and proceeded accord
ing to law in proving his property
before the nearest magistrate and
left for home. Who supposed them
to have $1,000 or $4,000 can't find
out, or what were the indications or
grounds for such an opinion. Sure
ly it was not from the appearance or
value of the stock or the conduct of
said traders. AS for the accused APP
propriating the stock to their own
use. that is entirely false. L hope
these facts will meet the public eye
and counteract any wrong impress
sions that the former article has
given rise to. Correct all deficits
of this article and so modify it as to
read Intelligibly. Respectfully,
There is no name to the above,
but having published the statement
of Sheriff Statler, we feel that we
cannot do less than publish the
above for what it is worth.-ED.
