Religious services were held at the Fres-
byterian, Methodist, Episcopal and Cum
berland churches on last Sabbath, by their
respective pastors, and the attendance at
each WIS very good. The sermon at the
Methodist church was delivered by 8
brother of the pastor Rev. Joshua Harri-
son, of New Orleans, whose theme was
manhood and wOmanhood, beginning with
Adam end Eve, from their creation and
pleasant stay in Paradise, their eating the
forbidden fruit and expulsion from the gar
den OF Eden, down through the history OF
past generations to the present status of
the people of all the earth. He dwelt very
forcibly or woman's influence for good or
evil, from the day when Eve gave to Adam
the apple "and he did eat" to the many
modern entcements offered to young men
by the gay and giddy vOtGries of pleasure
of the present day. His sermon was strong
forcible learned and able, evincing much
originality of thought and presenting the
gross and glariDg evils of the times in plain
terms and in nervous language. There
were some who did not fully endorse all his
positions, among these lady member Of
the church, a lady of many gifts and graces,
whose intellectual attachments are only
egualed by her elevated and pure ChristiaD
chardc er aud great fidelity to all The inter
ests of she church. She was emphatic in
her nou endorsement of some of the preach.
ers tsnets bat we failed to learn upon what
particular points her disagreement rested.
The sermon gave general satisfaction and il
highly spoken of as a lick in the right di-
rection and as well calculated to awaken
thought andrefiection, and to cause woman,
sweet and lovely woman--!he link which
binds us 10 the angels, to use all her mighty
influence for good upon the hayward and
ever prone to evil nature of man and there
by keep him from entering the ways that
lead to sin and death. Palsied be the hand
of the young lady who offers to the lips of
her sweetheart or beau the wine cup or the
flowing bowl, and if she could see the evil
which she has wrought she would wish she
had never been born, Little less guilty is
she who induces the young member of the
church to join in the giddy dance, the bane
full effects of which is seen here-irst in
Gbsenting themselves from the communion
table-then in losing interest in the pub.

in a total falling away from the duties of
religion and in following the multitude 10
