pastor. and made 4 very touching aliusion
10 his devotion 10 the school. Mr.. Bledsoe
responded in few remarks full OF feeling.
The school then arose and sang parting
HYMN.
At the morning and night services the
congregations were very large, and the exer-
ciSes were OF the same nature. The pastor
preached his farewell sermon at night, taxi
ing as his text the Apostolic Benedic-
ton" II. Corinthians, 18th chapter, lith
verse, ..The grace OF the Lord Jesus
Christ. and the love Of God. and the COM
munion OF the Holy Ghost be with you ali.
Amen" The discourse was full OF pathos.
as well as cloquence and argument, and
produced deep impression upon all pre-
sent. The entire membership and congre-
cation dcplore the rule Of the Conference
which makes 1t necessary for Mr. Bledsoe
TO be changed and many have expressed the
wi.b that he could remain another four
wears term. 80 earnest and devoted has be
been to every member Of his church and
congregation,

The opening Of the week Of PRAYER for
Young men was observed 10y holding
union service under the auspices OF the
Young Mems Christian Association. at the
second Baptist church. on sunday night.
The church was well filed. and much inic-
rest was manifested IN the occasion. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Or. lioge, Rev.
i. G.. Nash. and Rev. ". w. Landrum, all
oi which were much enjoyed.
The work OF The local association was
briefly skotched bv General Secretary
Clarke. who also gave an outline OF the
work Of the International Committee.
The committee now has thirty-three men,
hers, nine advisory members, and fifteen
trustees, representing all parts Of the con-
tincnt. a working quorum residing in New
York city. 4 survey Of the field shows
that there are nearly a thousand as-
s0ciations in America, eighty OF which
own buildings, valued at S3,iOO,0oO.
In 1866 only three salaried seereta-
rics were employed; now there are
3Ss men giving their entire time TO the
work. Work for special classes OF men
~ college students. commercial travellers,
German young men, railroad-men, etc. Is
vigorously prosecuted with marked sue
cess. The rapid development OF the work
in the past eighteen years has been largely
due 10 the efficient work 0i this committee

At the conclusion OF Mr.. Clarke's adj
dress a collection was taken up 10 aid the
committee in still further extending work
in the vast regions that are now destitute

Plea FOR NATIONAL PURITY.
Sermon or Rev. Moses D. usee. D. D., ssa'
day Afternoon.

Sermon or Rev. Moses D. tssee' W. ID, sea'
day Afternoon.
Rev, DIR. Moses d. Hoge's discourse on
sunday afternoon, In his own pulpit, on
the momentous importance OF "rlgn'eons'
nessn in nation. was 20 timely ana ap-
propriate.
To exclude the idea or allegation that the
sentiments Of the sermon applied to the
scenes and events Of recent weeks ana
months, the Doctor In the outset explained
that Tor the first time In several years ne
would speak from manuscript which hsd
been written prior to The nomination ana
election Of presidential candidates.
The basis OF the discourse was the men,
orablc exclamation Of Elisha at the august
heavenly exit OF Elijah: "My father, my
father, the chariot OF Israel and the horse
men thereof; which exclamation had
been subsequently repeated at The natural
death OF Elisha by his wicked King
Joash.
The speaker forcibly described the noble
and bene6cent careers Of these eminent
prophets, whose influence was 80 potent
Tor Israers veal. Beth the King aud the
surviving seer meant by their apotheoses
TO say. "More than the infantry, more
than the cavalry. Of Israel have stood fer
the defence OF the natisn the genuine
courage, the sterling integrity, the true
LOYALTY. the swerveIess honor. and the god
" consecmton Of these departing prophets
OF Jehovah.
So be argued that the incorruptible char.
acter Of the citizen was truer panopIy and
surer bulwark for the State than armed
fleets and terrible battalions. The wEest
OF Kings had said: Righteousness exalt-
eth nation, but sin is reproach 10 any
people" Cogently the speaker urged that
"not revenues, not wealth, not waving
baryests, not fertile foil, not salubrity OF
climate. not population, not education, not
culture, not territorial extent, not wise
forms of government, not wise rulers, not
military power. but righteousness right
eousness. eXalteth uatlon.'
He urged that Righteousness in the pec-
pie resulted In popular and civil honesty.
sObriety. Justice, chastity, humanity, for
bearance, peace, and prosperity.
On the other hand. the "reproaeh y
Of sin on the part OF people
involved the blackest catalogue OF the
most odious vices. and would eyentu-
ally work the downfall OF any nation, as
was evidenced by the direful fate ef Baby
lon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. The
speaker regarded the pathetic rlaint OF Mi.
rabcau the saddest m history: 81 could
have saved France IL could only have
persuaded her people that ! was viriuous.'
The sermon. Of which the above Is the
mcagrrst outline. closed with warm alp
poal FOR purity and piety OF life and conduct
! IN the people OF our beloved republic.

needless to say that the congregation part

people. The church has greatly prospered
