VOICES FROM THE PULPIT.
The Participated the Subject of Many

! The Earthquaket the Subject of Many
SermOns-Earge Congregations.
In nearly all of the churches there was
some allusion made yesterday to the
earthquake. Quite number OF pastors
made it the subject Of their sermons. Not
all OF them, however, dealt with ii in the
same way. The belief that the earth
quake was a visitation Of Divine wrath
upon the people OF Charleston and SaNan-
nah for their siufulness was discouraged
by many preachers, while some held that
it is the true belief.
Rev. T. r. Christian, at Trinity Metho-
dist church. preached strong sermon
last night from this standpoint. He urged
tue people 10 flee from their sins, and to
repent before they are Overtaken by other
and more dire calamities. The men who
preach and believe in Gods visiting his
wrath upon his people by earthquakes
and pestilence may be fanatics,
be said, but II we are to accept the Bible
as true, we must believe this. The
preacher quoted from various parts OF the
Bible to show that earthquakes and other
great disturbances OF the elements, which
some attribute TO natural causes, are the
result Of the Almighty's Immediate pres
ence. He urged the people to repent OF
their sins, lest they be overtaken IN an
hour that they dream not of by death, and
are cut off in their wickedness from all
hope OF eternal life.
A the New Houston street church the
services were unusually interesting. A
deep feeling has been manifested among
those who have attended the revival
meetings which have been in progress
there for the past week and many have
made a profession OF Christianity. The
pastor, Rev. t. Z. Wardlaw, preached at
10th morning and evening services yes
terday. At the services last night the
church was packed, and many were
turned away unable 10 get inside the
doors.
At ST. Johns Episcopal church the rec
tor, Rev. Charles Ii. Strong, preached to a
large congregation. There being no SER
vice in Christ church during the rector's
absence, many OF that congregation wOr
ship at st. JOhn's. The service yesterday
was the first that has been held in the
church since it has been repaired. The
rector preached from the text: ''FOr as
many as are led by the spirit Of God, they
are the sons of GOd."-Rom. Will, IA.
AT the Presbyterian and Baptist
churches the usual services were held.
AT the cOlOred churches the pastors
dwelt 10 a great extent upon the earth
quake and the warning it gave to the
wicked to leave off their wickedness and
live "A righteous life,

THE HARVEST MOON.
The Equinox aud Other Celestial
Changes approaching.

The Equinox aud Other Celestial
Changes approaching.
The moon fulls tonight, and as she pre-
sents her full round face to the earth the
most beautiful moon of all the year is in
augurated. During the next four evenings
there will be an average difference in the
time OF her rising of only 80 minutes. For
this reason the evenings following the
full OF the moon In September have fur
nished themes for poetic inspiration since
men began to observe the heavens.
The husbaudmen Of old, who lived near
to nature, saw in the arrangement a
pr0vidertial interpOsition to prolong the
day, and thus lend them assistance in
gathering In the harvest, and honored the
occasion by giving the name "harvest
moon" to this special moon. Their simple
faith was more reverential than scien-
tito. Science, however, explains the
reason for this apparent departure from
the moons usual course, and throws to
the winds the simple theory that the moon
deviates from her unswervlng course to
aidthe husbandmen Of the north temper
ate zone.
On the ODD. at 10 O'Clock In the evening,
the autumnal equinox occurs. The sun
then enters the sign Libra, the ecliptic
and the equator cross each other and the
astronomical autumn commences. The
sun shines from pole to pole, night and
day are OF equal length all over the globe,
! aud, in our belt OF terrestrial territory,
the luminary, which is our life and light,
looks down with smiling face upon u
scene fair 10 behold. The fruition of veg
etable development crowns the picture
| The earth has yielded her choicest treas
ures from her fruitful bosom. Rich mar
vests load the broad fields, trees bend I'M
der the weight OF ripening fruit, flowers
OF brilliant hue brighten the landscape,
the elimination of the SUMS influence is
everywhere apparent.
But even at this interesting point of
the earth's journey around the sun there
is a foreshadowing of change. On the
very day when the autumnal equinox
occurs the sun goes into southern de-
clination; be is little longer below the
horizon than he is above it, the night is a
little longer than the day. The sun is on
the road TO the winter solstice.

How People Eater and SIT in the Oars

How People Eater and SIT in the Oars
Have you noticed how some people en- err
a car and where they sit? A lady will
walk past dozen vacant seats, often
the entire length OF the car, then come
back again and take one Of the seats she
has just passed, and often after she is
seated change to another just exactly
like the one sue leaves; never exactly de-
Cided at bone or abroad.
The old Traveller walks direct to the best
seat in the car that is vacant, i. e., the one
nearest toe centre and on the shady side
not because it rides easier, but it Ii SAFER
in case of accident. The o. t. never
passes vacant seat If the car is any way
nearly full.
The small boy or his sister must get
next the window, and usually flattcus
his nose against it if it is not open, he be-
ing on his knees on the seat-we mean
the small boy on small journey. Ii the
trip lengthens out any he will get all over
the car before he gets TO the end of the
trip.
The backwoodsman will take the first
seat inside the door, whether the car is
crowded or empty, and Will put his en-
tire family on the one seat IL he can
squeeze them in between the arm OF the
seat and the window. II IT'S down in
kentucky or Tennessee they will take or
hats and bOnnets and make themselves at
home

the Central Formally Executed.

debtedness to amount equal per mile for
the extension as is now carried by the
road in operation.

To Parents, Young Mon and Women,

To Parents, Young Men and WON en- =.
This is the season your minds are
naturally drawn towards schools and edu-
cation. The subject as to what depart
ment OF education would prove most bene.
fetal is being fully and deliberately dis.
cussed. In the majority of cases the de-
cision is in favor of a practical aud useful
course of study, the fruits Of which can
be early gathered-a course that enables
the possessor to conduct business success
fully, or fill clerkships acceptably and
proftably.
The school OF photography, bookkeep-
ing, type writing and penmanship, con-
Quoted during the past two years at ia
Liberty street as a night school, is espe-
cially devoted to these educational pur-
poses. The increase in the number of
scholars, has made it necessary TO open a
day school in connection with the old re-
gime. Young men and women in search
Of these branches Of educational useful
ness, should avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunity thus offered.
A limited number of students can pro-
cure apartments at the school. G.. S.
