interesting lecture in the Court House

Harpcrs Bazaar gives the following
thoughts for Thanksgiving Day J: Are We
poor? We might be beggars. Are we
beggars We might be Iepers. Are we
lepers? Our sickness might be unto
death p Is it unto death? We have yet
heaven beyond. For all. let us give
thanks. Thanks surely if ne are in health
of body and mind, and even in illness
there is much reason and occasion to be
found for grateful heart. Has trouble
come to US now? It might be worse.
Are we alone? There is poorer company
than ourselves to be had. Have we lost
our desres: and bestf They, at any rate,
are, not here to suffer. Has the year dealt
crushing blows in business !? It has not
taken away also our power and will to
work. Have we work? Then for that
and all the rest give thanks again. Give
thanks that we live and breathe and have
our being in this world of wonder and
light and beauty"
The st. Paul (colored) Baptist congre-
CATION of this city has for some time past
been trying to agree upon pastor for the
coming year, but it seems impossible for
them to do 3d. It will be remembered
that nearly year ago large number of
the members ieft the Church on account
of not being able to agree upon pastor
and organized Church No. g. The same
thing is about to be repeated, and Church
No. 3 will probably be organized A few
days ago the officers of the Church met
and, after wrangling for some time, the
majority of them decided upon pastor,
colored divine from North Carolina, and
adjourned to make a report to the congre-
garion at q future day, at which time the
formal call would be extended to the new
preacher. The minority of the officers,
however, were bitterly opposed to this
preacher, and when the time for holding
the Congregational meeting arrived, they
had secured the keys of the Church, and
refused to let the meeting be held there.
The followers of the North Carolina
divine were not to be outwitted, SO they
departed from the Church premises quiz
etly and held their meeting at another
place. This faction claim to have the
majority of the members of the Church
with them, and they threaten to form
another Church If the majority do not
come over to them and surrender the
keys Of the Church. The matter has oc-
casioned considerable excitement among
our colored population, and further de-.
velopments are awaited with anxiety.
