PULPIT PoINrs.-Rev. Mr.. Snod
grass, of the M. +. Church being alb
sent (holding quarterly meeting at
Drummond Chapel) on Sunday, Pres
ident Thompson occupied his pulpit.
His text was from Psalms cxv; l.:
mot unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but
unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mer-
cy, and for Thy truths sake" The
sermon was a comparison of the
growth of Methodism with that of the
American Republic, and the anala-
gous points were presented with con
vincing force. "Methodism," said the
speaker, dis eminently adapted to TIN
wants Of a Democracy" The speak
err closed with an appeal to Metho-
dists to stand by the cardinal princi-
plies of their religion. Said he: "The
Presbyterians are proud of their re-
ligion, and / honor them for it; the
Baptists are proud of their religion,
and l honor them for it; the Episco-
palians are proud Of their religion, and
and l honor them foe it; why, then,
should Methodists apologize for their
old fashioned love-feasts, and class
meetings? They are the principles
under which Methodism grew from a
few hundred souls in 1866 to three
and one-third million members in
1875.
The Episcopalians held their
usual morning and afternoon services
on Sunday, Rey. Gibbons preaching.
This society, though rather limited in
numbers, seems to be in fourishin g
condition.
The Baptist General Assembly
will hold it's annual session in Nor
gantown, June 9Th. The church has
been greatly improved for the occa-
sion. A new pulpit has been erect
ed, and the entire inside ofthe church
reprinted. Rev. Jordan will leave
the church in the fall to enter Grocer
Theological Seminary. His sermons
Sunday morning and evening were
delivered to good audiences.
On Sunday evening Rev. Dickey
delivered a powerful sermon on the
license question, more extended
notice of which will be found in an
other column.
Rev. Cralle, of the M. p. Church
was absent on Sunday morning con-
sequently there was no preaching.
Rev Lowther occupied the pulpit in
the evening.

A REPREHENsIBLE PRACTICE.-Sev-
eral times lately we have heard citi-
zens complain of being annoyed by
the firing Of pistols in unpleasant
proximity to their heads while pass
ing around with ladies. The charges
are mostly made against some color
ed boys who are well known young
roughs, and who will no doubt be
taken in hand by the authorities if
decency does not prompt them to be-
have. The firing Of pistols upon our
streets after dark is no uncommon
occurrence, and we have heard sever
al persons threaten to report it to
Mayor Moreland if it is repeated.
1t is cowardly and reprehensible
practice to carry pistol, and no
one but a coward or an embryonic
murderer will do so. Let the prac-
tice be abolished.

By degrees,

"By degrees,
The human blossom blows; and every day,
Soft as it rolls along, shows some new charm,
The fathers lustre, and the mothers bloom"
There are few doors through which the
liberality, Joined with good humor, cannot
find its way.
The only passion which does not blunt
is ~ayerice, and which the longer we live
only becomes keener.
You cannot dream yourself into a char
acter-you must hammer and forge your
self one.
Not till external, sensitive chords of
man are struck, do the inner ones sound
after them.
christianity proves itself, as the sun is
seen by its w light. Its evidence is in
yolYed in its own existence.
