the first of series of special sermons announc-
ed for three succeeding Sabbath nights.
The Methodist centenniel year for the Balti-
more Conference extends to the end of the Con-
ference year, March, 1885. Rev. r. SmithsoD,
pastor of the Church in this city. delivered the
special sermon Sunday night to an overflow
Ing house. A contribution OF s325. 90 was ten
dered by the congregation in aid of church ex-
tension, Foreign missions. and education.

widdie. of Alexandra, who has been preach
ing and lecturing, for the two past weeks, 10
very large assent lsges. The religious interest
increases and a large number of persons have
made professions of christianity.
THE SPECIAL SERvICE.-According to an.
nouncement, Mr.. Din widdie delivered the dis
course TO be heard by males only last night to
a very 1ull house. Personal guilt and sins of
DEEPEST hue were pointed out. No attempt. of
course, will or should be made to refer more
than in a general way to the discourse. He
stated that he had no formal or elaborate SER
mon to deliver, but would read from the Scrip
lures and cor, rnent as he passed along. The
keynote of the sermon was taken from Ro-
mans, chapter g. verse 49,. Then ne followed all
| the way along its delivery with Scriptural
quotations. some OF which were notfd. as fol-
/ lows: Proverbs chapters. verses "a to IS; Ro-
mans, chapter 3, verse 10; Matthew, chapter 5.
verses 80 to 81 Proverbs. chapter 2, verses l6 to
| Is; Coossians' chapter 8. verses to g. Ephe-
SLAMS, chapter ). verses to 6.
| By reference to these portions of the Bible,
! the reader may form an idea of the tenor OF
the discourse. In speaking OF one horrible
| sin, which Is SO destructive In its consequen-
oes, he stated that its origin had bean traced to
| the very place where the Apostle, from whom
he quoted, had proclaimed against It..
In concluding, he explained the objects he
| he had In view 10 the delivery OF the dis
course He knew Ii was his duty and thai
he would perform. He was strong and power
| full in his reasoning, and in fervid language
described the enormity of crimes which
blight life and destroy the souls of men.
