When the Preacher Got the People.
49,. IL L......n...iII. lc...lto

From the BdrneS0iUe Gdsetfe.
We shall ask pardon if we present an
incident which occurred at a religious
meeting that may seem to some inappro-
PIRATE. During the district conference at
Forsyth religious services were held pin
the open air under the court house yard
grove on Saturday. There was quite a
good attendance and the meeting was
pleasant and profitable. On Sunday ser
vices were held at the same place and
quite number of cOlored people gathered
around to share the benefits of the dis
course by the Rev. j. W. Blosser of Mil
ner. II the readers Of the Gazette ever
attended church services by the colored
people they will know that it is quite GUS
tomary for them to respond to the declara-
tions of the preacher.
While the preacher was presenting in
fervent and fOrcible terms at Forsyth the
results that religion produces, responses,
'amen," ''dat's so. fright" etc, became
very noticeable. When the Rev.
BlOsser said he liked a religion that
caused man to measure off a yard Of
cloth, when he sold a yard, there was a
liberal responses of "amen" by the colOred
brethren. When he said he liked a
religion that enabled an employer to pay
promptly the labor he had engaged, there
was a kind of chorus, sthats right"
When he said he would not have a
religion that would allow him TO wrong
his fellow man, ''dat's So" chimed
out by several. When the preacher
turned to his interested colOred friends
and said be loved religion that will en-
able us to keep the command thou shalt
not steal, there were lightning-Iike
glances at each other and a solo utter
ance Fright" When the minister showed
up the key Of his voice and declared he
delighted to see a religion that would put
in every time a vote against liquor there
was such grunt as the traveller has heard
from the hog about the camp at night
And though the minister presented many
more phases Of religion that might have
met with cordial responses, there was not
even q hog grunt to be heard.

For the Gazette.
Nothing is more common than TO
hear men boast that we are living In

the impr. ssion sought to be conveyed
is that this is tue not only in regard
TO useful inventions, but also in mat.
ters Of morality and religion, In 9TH
or words, there is 3 prevailing notion
that The present age is morally, so
cislly, politically, rehgiously and inA
deed every way far In advance OF any
preceding age in the history Of the
world.
But this Is not altogether true. SUP,
pose for instance we tske the supreme

a, ID. 1881 we are at once confronted
by two Incidents, which, when
contrasted wi h each other, strlkingly
illustrate the character of the ages IN
which they occurred, The one Is the
electoral commission of partisan
judges, eight to seven, which, swan ed
10y prejudice and passion, swindled
Samuel J. rilden out Of the office Of
president to which he had been fairly
elected by the votes OF the people
The other Is Sir William Gsscoigne,
chief justice Of the Kings bench, con-
scious of the reverence due to his TX
allied station. ordering the young
prince, afterwards Henry V, 10 be
committed to Jail for contempt Of
court Here was a magistrate who hsd
the bravery to d. justice ma opposition

ported to the king, he exclaimed in q

In the first OF these instances We
