a conspicuous member, when we say that she
will be missed on every occasion when its
members assemble, either In JOY or sadness,
and that orphans lose II her one of their best
and dearest friends.

ATLANTA Constitution, Sunday: Grew. J.
r. Graves will deliver at James's hail a
course of lectures, commencing tomorrow
evening, upon The Ecclesia Of Christ; what
is it?' These lectures have been given In
almost every State in the Union, and before
large and intellectual audiences everywhere.
DR.. Graves mas but recently returned from
lecturing todr through California. He will
90 from here to Louisiana. He has been In
vited to lecture this summer in the north.
HIS time is filed as far ahead as September.
He lectures only by special arrangement, and
comes to no city but by special invitation.
We are particular to note this; and while DR..
Graves Is not professional lecturer but an
editor, a large portion OF his time is employed
II Iecturlng IN the interests OF his denomina-
tlon. DIR. Graves Is a man of national repu-
tabon as an orator, theologian and debater
He is probably the most gifted man in his
denomination; and for originality and in
clsiveness OF style is as remarkable as he Is
gifted. His learning is extensive and his
acquaintance with ecclesiastical literature is
marvellous. These lectures will be free to the
pubic, by special arrangement, and will be
largely attended-by those who differ from
his views as well as those who may indorse
them. AS this will probably be the only OPP
portunlty offered our people of hearing Dr.
Graves, we feel assured James's hall Will be
filed during the coming week.
