tunities TO read and think about the
coming lesson, so as to give to every
pupil proper portion in due season !;

Mr.. Sherrell, Of Randolph Macon

of the Church for the accomplishment
Of the will of God in the salvation Of

invaluable aid in eradicating evil from

THE NEWS OF MANCHEsTER.
Able Sermons ON Important subjects
Anti.LocaI-O Meeting.

There was large congregation at
the Bainbridge-Street Baptist church
Sunday morning to hear Rev. l.. X.
Thornhill's sermon on 1.-The Christian
Citizen and His Proper Attitude to the
Current Problems of the Day." The
speaker read two other selections of
Scripture, and then announced as the
basis for his remarks spor,ion OF Chrsts
Sermon on the Mount. Matthew W.,
l3-l6.) lie said that lessons were
taught in this sermon of which men had
never heard before; lessons which are
as broad as the Universe and as high as
Heaven. In speaking Of the ballot he
said II is a sacred trust, which should
always be cast as we would ask God to
bless. He said the Christians S
duty to the current problems of
the day is fidelity-hdelity to God, to
humanity, and TO himsell-and closed
by urging all to be faithful. At night
he preached sermon from the text,
The Lord Reigneth," which is found
at the commencement of three chapters
IN the book of Psalms l93, 97, 90.
lie spoke of the great problems which
are now agitating the public mnds-in
the Eastern world wars and rumors
of wars, and in this country
the great financial problem, the tariff
question, the ciyil-service reform, the
labor question, the great temperance
movement, &C., and said God reigns,
and if He is for us who can be against
US. All things work together for them
that love God to them that are the
called according to his purpose. If we
will trust God lie will cause all these
things to resul. as is best for our good. ~
These are considered two Of Mr..
Thornhill's best sermons preached since
he has been in Manchester.
Rev. William II. Christian, Of the
Central Methodist church, preached q
sermon Sunday night on Labor. The
large main audience room Of the church
was crowded. This subject, like all
discussed by Mr.. Christian, was handled
well, and he made many suggestions
which if protited by will do those who
heard him much good.
a meeting of the Anti-LOcal-Option-
lists Association was held at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. They remained
in session for more than two hours dis
cussing the surroundings, the outlook,
and the best mode of carrying on the
fight through the remainder of the cam
paIgn.
The finance and other committees
made favorable reports of progress.
Eight ticket. holders two from each
ward, one white and one colored) and
two canyassers were selected. The
names are withheld, as the parties have
not yet said whether or not they will
serve. Another meeting, which it is
expected will be the final one, will be
held Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
Several boys were before the Mayors
Court yesterday morning for jumping
on the street.cars while in motion. They
were admonished not to do the like
again, and were turned over to their

ArSDAY.x MEETING.
"Your Doxy ~ Msseredexy, bat NJ
Dexy Orthodoxy.

To The Editor Of he Dispatch:
Itis simply wonderful how inconsist-
ent over. jealous people can be. Tns
local-optionists who preach prohibition
seem impressed with the idea that in
their cause 1.-THE end justiaes the
means,' and in their battle for their
self-styled moral position, like oil yea
lots, they say practically, I" Your doxy
is heterodoxy, but my doxy is ortho-
doxy." They pose ss the great moral
portion Of the community--the cham
pions for the suppression Of the liquor
traffic and the proper observance Of the
Sabbath. Yet do we not see them be.
taking unto themselves prerogativss
which they have denounced in and de-
MED to othersg
1t was only few years ago, il our
memory serves us right, that Mr.. Louis
Schade, of Washington, was invited to
Richmond to make an address upon
temperance as he understood il. Sum-
day was chosen for the time and Sen.
ger Hall the place for the address.
Scarcely had the announcement for
his appearance in this city been
made when columns of protests
were written and published in your
paper-protests against this Sab
bath violation. His ideas Of temper
ance did not agree with those Of the pro.
hibtionists OF the day, and they would
have invoked the law to stile his utter
ance. How different their action when
their side of the question is to be pre-
sented. A United States Senator, Mr..
Colquitt. is invited to the city, the Mo-
Fart Academy rented for the occasion,
and the public has hsrangues at length
by politician as to how they should cast
their votes in the approaching election,
and all this on the Sabbath. And what
if the opposition party should import
some speaker to present their views Of
this great moral question at the same
place next Sunday, would the prohibit
tionists not again protest against desc
Grafton of the day:
Then, too. the ministers land We are
the last to do aught but help them in
their legitimate work. who head tho
prohibition moyement-what il they
should, in their zeal for prohibition,
lend their presence at such a political
meeting on Sunday? and, what is
more. if one OF their number-the Rev.
DR.. Jones lone of your paid occasional
contributors)-should do the work Of
reporter on that occasion? Should
they not lecture themselves on this ex-
cessiye indulgence? Is the cause Of re-
ligion to be advanced by such action?
We fear not.

The Mozart Last Might.

A pleasant musicale was given last
evening to large and appreciati'e au-
dience. Mrs. John ii. Knowles, Jr.,
sang two solos, and was cpeored upon
each appearance. Mr.. Henry Laube
rendered difficult violin solo by Gade
in finished manner. This compost
ton, however, did not seem to take
with the general audience.
The Septette by Beethoven, one Of
the most beautiful numbers that has
been given before the Association for
some time past, was well rendered, the
instruments throughout being in fine
accord. The orchestra played fairly
