DEDICATION OF THE
''CHURGH OF OUR REDEEM
Err" LUTHERAN
A LIBERAL COLLECTION. AN ELO.
QUENT SERMON, &C.

A LIBERAL COLLECTION. AN ELo.
QUENT SERMON, &C.
On last Sabbath evening, June
20, the "Church of Our Redeem
ell" which is situated Oh 9Th ST.,
near Howard University, was fill
ed with an appreciative audience,
representing some of the best ele-
ment of the white and colored peo-
pie of the District. The occasion
was the formal dedication of the
new edifce to the service of AL
mighty God. Rev. d. E. Wise
man the pastor, shared his pulpit
with Drs. Butler, Craig mead,
Slaybaugh and HANNA, the last of
whom is from Baltimore and
preached the dedicatory sermon.
1t is useless to attempt to give an
adequate account of the sermon
for were the BEE to record the
gems of thought that fell from the
lips OF that distinguished Divine,
the scribe would lose the elo-
quepce with which he presented
them. The text was "What mean
We by these stones?" DR.. HANNA
graphically related the miracle of
the dividing of the Jordan, and as
we sat there we saw the mighty
walls into which the water had
been transformed, and the Israel
ties walking bravely over the bed
of the deep. The DR.. then appl ed
his text to the syent OF the even
ing and after giving a brief nisto,
ry OF the church, he concluded
with an impasslopate appeal for
the Cathollcity of the Christian
religion and of the Lutheran faith.
During the whole sermon the au-
dlence was kept spe!l-bound, every
body seeming to be wholly under
the control OF the speaker. After
the sermon Rev. DR.. Butler of the

KING OF WAYLAND SEMI
NARY.
ARE THE CHARGES TRUE! WHAT
REPUTABLE MINISTER'S CHARGE
HIM WITH.

At a delegated meeting of Bap-
tist ministers, to consider the act
ton of DIR. King of Waylaud
Seminary, and his treatment to
colored students, an address to
the Baptist churches of the United
State and the American Home
Mission society has been issued
The address charges DIR. King in
the year of '7S with mistreating d
student by the name of Young;
that at Redbark, n. j., when
Prof. King was with his jubilee
troupe, he became so angry with
one of his lady singers, Miss Anna
Nj. Mason, that when she attempt
ed to ascend the steps of the cars
en- route to Washington, his pas
sion so:far got the better of him,
that he pushed her forcibly from
the second step to the first, against
the car. In the spring OFFS lady
student, Miss Maggie A. Wash
ington, who had been quite ill for
several weeks, and as a result had
a very poor appetite, went to Prof.
Kings door while he was at
luncheon (the students at this
time were not allowed luncheon.
She asked him, eft she might not
ask the cook to give her piece of
bread" There upon he became
enraged; told her ''to leave the
door and 60 down stairs" " She
replied that she was too feeble to
60" Then he seized her by the
arm and teroed her down stairs at
rapid Iate into the kitchen,
jerked her around and hurt her
side, from which she has been suf-
fering during her Hines; that Miss
Mary E. Williams young lady a
member in good and regular stand
ing of one of the Baptist churches
was most violently and outrage
ously assaulted. The address also
mentions many other charges and
has the names of Revs. R. S. Laws.

Lutheran Memorial church, read
the dedicatory service. The bas-
kets were then passed, and llb>
eral collection was lifted. The
music was furnished by the choir
of DIR Buffers church, aud was
quite a feature of the occasion,
comp etely harmonizing with the
sermon that was preached.
This church was built by the
liberal donations of Christ's peo-
pie from all sections of the coun-
try. 1t is not yet year old, but
is already felt in the community,
in which it IS situated, having
Sunday school OF over two hun
dred registered attendants. It is
beautiful little brick edifce of
the Gothic style, having all the
mod rn conveniences. Its pastor,
Rev. ID. E Wiseman is of ST.
Thomas, West Indes, and though
young in the work, he bids fair to
gain laulels for the church and for
himself. He is a graduate OF the
Divinity school of Howard Unl-
versity, of the class of '84, aud is
the only colored man in America
educated for the Lutheran minis
try. 1t is to he hoped that this
Lutheran church will prove to the
people that the creed of"Justiica-
tion by Faith" Is general in its
adaptation. Nay the "Church OF
Our Redeemer" thrive and may
many find redemption through
the nstrumentality Of lis ardent
pastor.

they listened to an able and elo
quent sermon frem Rev. Heckter
pastor in charge of the above
church. Mr.. j. Davenport acted
as spokesman and satisfactorily
performed his duties.
The closing exercises at the
Chamberlain building, (our moth-

A communication from Mr.. and
Mrs. Bartholomew Mcdonnell, who
were lately married and left for
New York, states that they will
remain as they have commenced
huose keeping. Mrs. A Beckett,
the mother OF Mis-. Mcdaniel will
pay her visit next week.
We certainly think that some of
our esteemed bretheren and divineS
in holding their praise meetings,
error on this particular point and
that is, in calling on brother Tom,
Dick and Harry, claiming to be
missionary class leader or 10 al
minister from some distant cline
for which no one save themselves
can endorse. We do not deny their
good intentions, but it is impOssi-
BILE for them to make the desired
affect in the meeting The follow
ing is a portion of a prayer ut
tered by one of the above afew ev-
enings ago: Oh Lawd come down
and come dis way for here is some
dat am camel-backed, hump-back-
ed, and crosseyed. We cant do
nothing wild doubt and nothing
wild you take your almighty can
non in hand and fill it full of Cos
pei powder and graceful shot, and
put an almighty cap on it and shoot
ball dis way and kill some sinner
wild open before he gOts haf way
home.

In her house.

The petition that is In circula-
,tion requesting the secretary of the
Interior to make change at the
Freedman's Hospital will be for
warded to the secretary of the lutte.
rior next week. There are about
500 names signed to the petition.
Communications have been sent
to secretary Lamar, to the effect
that DR.. Purvis is an "offensive
partisan" The petition sets forth
that DR.. Purvis was member of
TIE National Republican Commit
tee and a candidate for the repub-
lican convention. He holds too
many Offices and he claims that
Samuel Randall of Pennsylvania
is at his back and Lo Negro can
get his place. The petition further
says, that he is member OF the
board of school trustees, one of
the professors in the Howard Med
ical school, Surgeon in Charge of
the Freedman's Hospital. and a
practlcing physician, and from all
these positions, except the school
board, he is receiving big wages.
The BEE scribe learns, that Secre-
| tary Lamar, has decided to make
a change, aud DIR. Purvis' success
sor will probably be either Drs. J.
r. Francis, Cook Or Augusta. DR..
Francis is from one of the best
families in the city, and his ap-
pointment would meet with uni
versal approval. lie is no politi-
clan, hence no democrat will op-
pose him. DR.. Samuel LIE Count
Cook is from one of the oldest and
most respectable citizens. His fa-
ther, the late John f. Cook, did q
great deal for the colored people
IN this community. He has large
practice in this city and has the
reputation of being a first elias:
surgeon. This gentleman is back
ed by DIR. Garnett aud a large
number of democratic medica
men. DR.. Augusta, has the repu
tation of being a first class physi
clan and surgeon. He was one o
the few men who served will
credit in the army during th,
war. He has never taken part il
politics. DR.. Augusta is yer,
conservative in his views and will
no doubt make fine Surgeon II

tai. Secretary Lamar has not de
cided, as yet which of the thre
gentlemen will be appointed, bu
