Rev. Mr.. Williams, the new pastor of
the M. E. Congregation, South, preach
ed in the church of that denomination
morning and evening last Sabbath. His
discourse in the morning was from the
Both, 31st and S2d verse of the list chap
ter of Romans, and at night from the
10Th verse of the 18th chapter of Mark.
Both sermons were practical, forceful
and impressive. Mr. Williams is a fluent
speaker, of good pulpit address, land prom
ises to be a useful minister. He was
listened to by large and attentive audi
ences on both occasions. The service
in the morning was more than usually
impressive. The solo, "Jesus Lover of
My Soul,' by Mrs. Mary J. Yost,
vocal instructor at Wesleyan Female In
stitute. was rendered with pathos and
touching tenderness that deeply stirred
the emotions. and accompanied by the
rich, deep tones of the organ under the
finished and masterful touch of Mrs. NJ.
Hicks, gave peculiar and effective i'm
pressiveness to the services.
