supplied by Rev. G.. NJ. Marshall, a good
man and a fair preacher. Rev. S. II.
Jefferson acted rs presiding Elder. A
large Grove was out on Sunday. OnSun
day night Mr.: Jefferson gave Il lecture on
Education, and it was a good one, plain,
sensible and truthful: lie said he had
been requested to deliver such a lecture,
! but felt unequal to the trsk. He discuss
ed his subject undcrtwo hcads-intellect-
ual and moral education. Intellectual
education he said, consisted in knowing
agrcat deal, but its principles were know
correctly. Moral education kept them
from forgery, swindling, gambling,
drunkenness, stealing, taught them man
ncrs, made them know how to behave
themselves, at home and abroad and be
gould citizens. Unless q man educated
himself morally he was worse than the
devil. He said our white friends we're in
favor Of our being educated and in proof
Of it the State had made a large appropri-
alton for such 4 purpose and if they did
not send their children to school the fault
was at their own doors. He advised
them to take good papers and inform
themselves, take their W church organ
and the Press and Banner, he said, one
of the best wecklies in the State. He
took it and their Pastor took it. Some
may say we don't like It's politics. He
said he was nc politician himself, and
they had better let politics and educate
themselves and their children. They
would understand the whites and there
would he a better time all around. He
spoke for an hour to a pretty good crowd.
Such addresses are calculated to do good.
