NO SERMON.

In discussing the subject of 71reaching
with certain Of our Christian brethren
one cannot fail to notice a growing dis
position on the part of some, to under
value and even to dispense with the ser
mon. The writer has been panied to
hear. such an expression as the following

Sabbath School Centennial.
A Suggestion

Memorial celebrations to perpetuate
the memory and to express public opinion
of the importance of distinguished and
useful. events are common to every por-
ton of the civilized world, and especially.
to our own country.
Few, if any events have occurred in the
history of the world for the last hundred
years that have greater importance to
the world at large, than the Inauguration
of the system Of Sabbath Schools. They
were first brought into practical existence
by Mr. Robert Raikes of Gloucester. Eng
land, just 100 years ago
When we take retrospect of the i'm
mense good such schools have effected.
are now efecting, and will continue to
effect, what can be more appropriate than
that all such schools, in cities, towns. and
rural districts. should either in concert.
or singlv inaugurate a memorial
centennial celebration and Thanksgiving
in honor of the institution, and express
sion Of the high appreciation in which it
is held2
Our object is simply to bring this sub
lect to the consideration of parents, super
intendents, teachers, and scholars of Sab
bath Schools and to suggest that the
officers Of the different schools in towns
and villages confer together and deter
mine to set apart some suitable day in
May or June, for holding such celebra-
ton, connected with such exercises as will
be appropriate to the occasion; or. if it
shall be thought best that schools shall
act separately, that each designate some
week day, and make it a day Of pleasure
and rejoicing to al its members

DISCUSSION BETWEEN FAUNTLEk0Y AND M'KIN.
HEY-THE PEOPLE FOR THE MAY TICKET
THE CONTEST BETWEEN CABELL AND STO.
VAIL.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispateb.l
OCTOBER r. 1880.
There was q large crowd at our court TO-
day, due in great part to the political excite.
men: which is now agitating the county and
the desire to hear the distinguished speakers
who were advertised to address the people.
After some trouble terms were agreed on, 10y
which. as is usual, our champion. Phil. Nc
Kinney, was 10 open, TO be replied to by
Colonel FauntlerOy. 1t gives me pleasure
to say there was most courtly dis
cussion between these gentlemen. ] have
talked with large number OF our
people with all shades Of political opinions,
and with one accord they say that McKin-
ney has made the ablest and most effective
speech that has been delivered in the cOun-
" for years. There was no clsp-trsp about
it, but he marched right straight up to the
great questions involved in the canvass and
discussed them with eminent ability, and
with the most stirring and moving elo-
quence have heard from any speaker du-
ring the canvass. Ii is also due to Colonel
Fauutieroy 10 say that he made a good
speech, but he does not compare at all with
Mckinney as a speaker. The hslf-hOur con-
cIusion OF McKipney's speech was equal to
any speech in ferVor and eloquence j ever
heard from any one. In short, the discus
sion was a most triumphant one for our
cause, and has added many voters to our
ticket. I heard a sensible man say who
knew the people it was worth 800 votes.
We hope to carry this county for Cabell,
and believe his election almost certain. Al
ter the discussion above referred to, there
was n short discussion between Stovall and
Csbel, but time was net sufficient for
regular speech. thought the crowd was
for Cabel. Indeed, when Stovall was
through, bis friends tried to call the people
away from Cabell, but failed. This thing
alone has done Stovall much harm. and was
severely commented on by his friends, and
cannot be defended.
There is great activity displayed by both
parties in this county, and our regular
ticket ia gaming strength every day, and /
am sure in this county 10 much stronger
than 1t was few days ago. We see that
the only way to carry this State is to unite
on the May ticket. HENRY.
