Rev. ]. A. Parker.

From the 10th chapter. 9th verse Of
Acts, Rev. J. A. Parker preached one of
the most instructive and eloquent sermons
that We have heard in many days. II is
known to very many Of our readers that
Mr.. Parker is n divine Of far more than
ordinary ability. Combining as he does
a thorough acquaintance with the profane
literature of the past aud present, aud a
large store Of scriptural knowledge, with
a liberal zeal and logical rloqucnce, he
never fails to furnish food for serious
Thought III his di-conrs"s. Mr.. Parker,
We pre-HHe, - like all Others whose mis-
sion i. Ia teach the people, more luminous
Others. On Sunday last he was in one OF
his happicst moods, or the writer was in a
state of mind more appreciaiivc and re-
ceptive than nsnal; for surely we cannot
call to mind any discourse Of this gifted
divine that impressed Ms 81 profoundly.
Yet, while we write with such eithusi-
astic admiration, We feel sure that there
are those who since Mr.. Parker began his
ministerial labors in Homer have failed
not in their attendance, who will pro-
uounce the sermon Of which We write
inferior to many other. they have heard.
To our mind Mr.. Parker has improved
in the last two Years When he came to
Homer his mental status was far above
that of many of-hi- brethren. In Ell.
drnce of which we may slludr to the APP
probation whose best evidence was the
solid induccmrut. which made II 10 his
advantage to seek home with our Peo-
pie. Since that time, in our humble
Judgment, marked changes have mani.
Tested themselves. and We venture the
granted him. before the clos. Of the pres
cnt decade the minister Of whom We
write will have added more than ten-fold
tn his present reputation.
Thi, Testimonial i the spontaneous cr-
preston of All admiration not usual with
lis. Circumstances have for some months
kept II. away from the Methodist church,
an consequently from hearing Mr..
Parker therefore we more readily note
the improvements that strike us 81 forci-
hly. A. public journalist 1t il our duty,
and IN thi, instance special pleasure, Ia
testify To ttu>r merits that contribute 81
largely to the present good and future
happiness Of or race.

A vilialnous Lie.

Eisewhere in this days piper we have
published = slight sketch Of the life Of
General J. Floyd King, who is now aud
| has been from his birth Southern in every
feeling and instinct. Some miserable Sian
derer hoping to injure pure, good man, n
gallant soldier who gave four of the most
precious years Of his life to the defense Of
the Southern tonfrdrracy, has circulated
the report in the Sumlnrrirld country that
King was Federal soldier and is carpet
baggcr This il n miserable lie. Gcnl
King is n native Georgian, and began to
serve the South in the ranks Rs private
duties that the close Of the war found him
a Colonel Of Artillery. He participated
IN the majority Of the battles fought on
the soil of Virginia, Pennsylvania and
Mary land, fighting under the Confederate
battle flag. The record Of his services
! includes many or the greatest struggles
Of the war. King a Federal soldier His
people who know him best would laugh

siandcr-r who invcnts the scandal would
meet with sharp and condign punishment
