ORDINATION SERVICES.

ORDINATION SERVICES.
Rev. j. M. Horner, Of Oxford, Ornained
to the Priesthood in the Episcopal
Church Here Sunday.
The ordination of Rev. Junius NJ.
Homer, of Oxford, to the priesthood
| at the Episcopal church in this place
last Sunday, was an occasion OF I'M
| usual interest. Bishop Lyman preached
an admirable sermon, his remarks to
the candidate for the ministry being
expressed with singular appropriate
| ness, feeling and solemnity.
The service was beautiful and inn
pressive one and was witnessed by a
| large and thoughtful congregation.
Perhaps we can not more graphically
Or fully report it than by publishing
the following accounts.
A correspondent of the Oxford Day,
writing of the event, says:
Sunday morning at II o'clock the
Church OF the Holy 1nnocents, Henderson,
was crowded from chancel to door with
a well-dressed, cultivated and attentive
audience. The church itself is an archi-
tectdral gem, and well worthy OF the
large and reverent congregation.
At the hour of service the white-rObed
chorister boys OF the Church of the Good
Shepherd, Raleigh, followed by the Bishop
and attendant clergy, marched up the
aisle singing a professional hymn. lii
perfect order they assumed their proper
places in the chancel.
Then the morning prayer was read by
Rev. A. B. Hunter, OF Raleigh, assisted
by Rev. W. Walker, of Pittsboro. The
Bishop then preached an earnest and
forcible sermon in defence of the doctrine
of Apostolic Succession. Towards the
close of his discourse he delivered a fer
| vent and affectionate address to the can
didate for the priesthood-Rev. J. NJ.
Horner. Then came the solemn questions
of the ordination service and then the
impressive ceremony OF the laying on OF
hands-the four clergymen present join
ing with the Bishop in the solemn and
of the Holy Communion, the congrega-
ton was dismissed with appropriate
prayers and benedictions.
From communication in the Raleigh
State Chronicle, written by q member OF
the visiting delegation, we make the
following extract:
The supplied choir of the Church OF
the Good Shepherd, of Raleigh, and Prof.
Paul., the organist and choir master,
left Saturday evening for Henderson by
special invitation to render the music for
this occasion. AS the party arrived in
Henderson they We're met by a COM
mittee on arrangements. The choir were
escorted into the waiting room, and
were taken in charge by the different
members OF the church. After a little

where Bishop Lyman held q reception,
and they were highly entertained for an
hour or go by mine host, Col. Burgwyn
and his estimable lady.
After the reception the choir was taken
in charge by the citizens and spent a
most pleasant evening.
On Sunday morning bright and early
the choir went to the Church OF the Holy
Innocents for a short rehearsal. This
church is fine structure OF good dimen-
sions and was tastefully decororated
with beautiful flowers At1O:3O O'Clock the
congregation began to assemble and in
short time the church was filed to the
utmost capacity. At II o'clock sharp
Prof Paul. struck the first chords of the
professional hymn, and the choir entered

The beautiful service OF the church was
gone through with, after which the ordi-
nation of the candidate, Mr.. Junius
Horner, of Oxford, was then admins
tered by the Bishop. The boys in the
choir never sang better than they did On
that occasion and were complimented by
the whole congregation. After the SER
vices the Bishop spoke in very high terms
of his ''ittle choir" in regard to the way
they acquitted themselves, and OF the
ladies and gentlemen OF the choir.
After dinner everybody was entertained
by their hosts, and it may be well said
here that the good people of Henderson
know how to entertain in q lordly man.
ner, and we feel sure that the choir will
ever remember the pleasant time they
had while in Henderson and hope to re-
turn the compliment some day in the
future. Great credit is due to the Rev.
J. E. Ingle, the pastor of the church, who
did all he could to bring the choir to
Henderson and to make our stay pleas
ant He is a true Christian gentleman
of the highest type, beloved by everybody
in Henderson, and we feel sure he left q
lasting impression upon the whole choir.
At night the rite of confirmation was ad-
ministered by the Bishop to four candi-
dates and again the church was crowded.
| The choir sang with much feeling and
spirit on the occasion.
