The Farewell Serwon Of Rev. }. n
Cal0W eli. ID. D..

Rev. J. Il. Caldwell, W. D., pastor .
81. Paul's M. L. church, preached hi
farewell sermon yesterday. The dis
course was partly delivered in ths
morning. but owing to a baptismaI
s'rvise ct the conclusion Of the morn.
ing services, 1t WAS concluded in the
evening. The reverend gentleman
selected his text from Matthew
~: "a. After brief introd uctery re-
marks he divided his subject into two
leading thoughts to wit: | commend
you 10 your God, and commend Won
to the Word Of Gods Eracs.
The apostles, said he, commended
the Bphesian elders 10 Gsd. They
commended them to a Being Of infinite
perfection, q Being whose affections
stand pledge d for the safety and hap
piness Of His people, a Being who is
the founder and pressrver Of the church
giving 1t the victory over all foes.
They commended them 10 the word OF
Gods grace. On this thought he mott.
ced the nature of Gods revealed word
In the Bible from the description given
that is the word of Gods grace, that
the thorough redemption to Christ,
which brings salvation to man, Is here
displayed. He next spoke Of the
power of Gods word. 1t is able to
build up. The ediacation OF believers
comprises the whole process Of their
salvation frem the time OF their awak- !
ening until they are sanctiasd. Hell
next noticed the gracious design OF
dod's work. II Is to give to believers
an everlasting inheritance.
The speaker next oontrssted the
earthly and the heavenly Canaan. The
one inoorruptible, while the other was
,orruptthle. epe is undefiled while
The other was defled. One will not
pass away while the sother has passed
sway.
In conclusion he referred to his three
Tears' pastorate and said that no i'll
ceiling existed between himself and his
congregation. The biennial statement
u the pastor Is as follows:
