the cOlOFeu population az Ill O'CLOCK
sunday morning to hear Bishop
Wayman, Of the A. M. f. church,
preach. There were several white
people.in the house also and they
heard good sermon. !. The text Was
"Be thou faithful unto death and /
will give thee crown of life." Not
withstanding Bishop Wayman's age
he speaks with vigor that is not
often found in much younger men.
His language is good and his deliv-
cry is easy. The sermon, as the text
implies, was an exhortation to Chris
tians and it was full OF sound advice.
The services at three O'clock and at
night were also largely attended, a
feature of each being the excellent
music made by the choir.
The colored people of GAINESVILLE
are keeping we'll up in church affairs,
and this session Of their conference
has demonstrated that fact forcibly.
The various pulpits at the colored
churches were filled at each hour OF
service by the visiting clergymen.
DR.. West preached at the Method
list church yesterday at the morning
hour and at night the pulpit was oc-
cupied by Rev. Il. M. Harrell, DR..
Vests assistant. This was Mr.. Har-
rell's first effort here and the congre-
CATION was iavorably impressed by
him. His text was the familiar pas
s4ge Of scripture: II have fought
the good fight" etc. The minister
though somewhat embarrassed at
first handled his subject well and i'm.
pressed his audience as being a young
man of much promise.
Rev. w. C. Golden preached to the
Baptist congregation at II a, m. yes.
terday, from the text: 81 shall be sat
isfied when l awake in the likeness"
Psalms 1917. MIR. Golden is the
young minister who was taken III
here during the meeting oil the Bap-
fist convention and who has been call
ed by the Third Baptist church at
Nashville, having formerly held a
charge in Pine Bluff, Ark. He said
yesterday that some one had told him
that the above scriJ ture was a favorite
passage with the late DR.. Sears, in
the last two years of his life, and that
he himself had been so impressed by
ii since then that it seemed he must
preach from it. His sermon was
peculiarly appropriate to the Occa
sion. He prefaced it by an emotion
al allusiOn to the circumstances at
tending his presence here, and mis-
view from his narrow escape from
death, the occasion, from various
stanGpoints, was sacred to him. His
sermon was very encouraging and
helpful to those christians who
heard it, pointing out the fact, that
while there is no real happiness on
this earth the faithful soul will be
abundantly rewarded wi h eternal
bliss after death.
"Jonah the Preacher" was the sub
ject Of Rev. A. u. BOone's sermon
last night, the fourth in his very in
teresting series on the character OF
Jonah-"S) Jonah arose and went
unto Ninevah according to the word
Of the Lord" was the text. Mr..
Boone preached with much force and
delivered "A powerful missionary
sermon.
The meeting at the Christian
church has closed. From the first
it has been most successful. Elder
Growden has preached to large and
deeply interested audiences. Thirty
one have been added to the church,
and the church has been stirred up to
renewed zeal. Yesterday at both
services large audiences gathered and
three persons were received into fell
lowship.
The services at the Y. M. G. A.
rooms Mt three o'clock Sunday even
ing were led by l.. V. McKesson.

creased attendance at this service.
DIR. Lupton preached at the Pres
byterian church Sunday morning to
a large congregation. The pulpit at
night was filled by DR.. Price, DR.
Lupton preaching at the Presbyte-
rian chapel in South GAINESVILLE.
DIR. Pettis preached at the usual
hours at the Episcopal church. DR..
Pettus always breaches with force,
and his sermons yesterday We're
characteristic. A feature at each
service at this church is the excel
lent choir music, led by Prof. EN-
cry. 1t is one OF the best organized
church choirs in the city.
Rev. J. w. Sullivan preached 10
the Cumberland Presbyterian people
