An AIoquent sermon by Rev. Mrs.
Hanaford Yesterday - Rev. Mr..
Hunt OF Orange Also Delivers An
Interesting Discourse-A Double
Wedding to Take Place I'm the
grove Next Sunday.
TYLER CRY, Aug THE morning SER
vices were omitted but many people as
sembled for the afternoon service, expect
ing to hear from Rev. Mrs. Hanaford.
Nor were they disappointed, for she was
there on time, as she always is, and after
the service was opened-by Rev. J. G. Hall,
who read portion of the 10th chap
ter of John and offered prayer, Mrs. Han
afford stood up before the congregation,
and announced her text to be taken from
the 18th chapter of John and the 10th
verse-"A little while and ye behold me
no more, and again little while, and ye
shall see." She told of the sorrow of the
cross; of Christ's disciples when they COM
pretended his inevitable death, of the
shadow of the sins of the world resting
upon his willing shoulders, and
then beyond all this of the light and life
of the resurrection when we shall see
Him.
Christ warns his disciples of his going
away, and in the same breath tells of his
coming again. She contrasted the two
different meanings in that same sentence,
the first so fraught with sadness and sor-
row and the other SO hopeful, so trustingly
sure of bright time after 'ittle while. "
A time when we shall see all the friends
and loved ones who have gone to that

shall cease and the tears of the righteous
shall be wiped forever away, and we shall
see him. Woe to the man who endeavors
to drown his sorrows and troubles in the
intoxicating cup or in the giddy whirl
of worldly pleasures; he only lays
up for himself greater sorrow to be met
with in that day when sorrow for the faith
|.ful shall cease. The story of the cross, its
sadness, it's sweetness and it's light, have
had the ears of the people these twenty
centuries
The words of peace and power and the
example of patience, trust faith and love
have begun their work in the hearts of
men.
Let us be careful, dear friends, to be
faithful in all our daily duties and then
yours is the peace, the hunger and thirst
which shall be satisfied when in his like
ness we shall behold him Gin little
while"
We have only given few of the rich
sweet words, which fell 80 softly and yet
so earnestly from the lips of that noble
| woman, Mrs Hanaford.
| At the close of the service collection
was taken up, which amounted to enough
to help along the cause which the good
colored people are SO laboring for.
In the evening Rev. J. G. Hall opened
| IL
prayer, after which Rev.. Mr.. Hunt Of
Orange addressed the meeting, taking hi,
text from gospel according to st. Luke
| 10, 8: Nevertheless when the son o.
man cometh, shall he find faith upon thu
earth" Christ taught spiritual kingdom
of Heaven, a kingdom within the hearts O.
men which cannot be seen with the eye
but is intangible, yet abiding. Chris
says the days of the son of man shall b.
like the days of the time of Lot. The PEG
pie were buying and selling, plantingsan
harvesting, marrying and feasting, so shal
it be in the day when the son of man shall b
revealed. This is to be kingdom, not o
temporal power but of wonderful spiritua
power. And che that would save his lif
shall lose it, but he that will lose his if
for my sake, the same shall save it." Chris
will come to the world, but not to th
world alone, but also to eac
individual man, each soul in the world
and notwithstanding the many temptt
lions and trials of this life, men will kee
their hold of the Lord and in spite of Sata
at last will enter in. There is no reaso
for any delaying in getting this hold O
the only safety which can avail in tn,
day.
Mr.. Hunts sermon was very interesting
and after its close it was announced tn
on the coming Sabbath, in addition to Il
services of the day, there was to be
what hour during g the day ths pastor v; W,
NOT at liberty to make known
