DIR. HOSS' SERMON. Rev. DR.
Hoss, Editor the Nashville Christian
AdU Ocate, filed the pulpit at the
Methodist church here last Sunday
and preached a sermon which fOl
power of thought and beauty Of Ian
guage can rarely be equalled. The
beautiful spring-like weather, tn,
large and aPpreciative audience and
all the surroundings combined pro
pitiOusly for the speaker, and there
was that perfect accord between pull
pit aud pew which alone make pos
sible the highest effects of elOquence
1t was however the eloqeDce of deep
earnest thought and simple though
elegant English, and not of oratoricaI
pomp and flourish. From beginnin,
J hardly raised above the level OF |
strong conversational tone. and at M
! time was there any very animated
gesticulatiOn; and yet the attention
of the audience never for mOInen
tagged. 1t was the triumph of rea
power, and shows that, after all, tn
average congregation appreciate idea
aud earnest simplicity more thai
/ mere words, however ornate, or atti
, tude however dramatic. Love 70
God was the theme, and the sermon
impressed its desirability and necessi
! ty with a logic and pursuasivenes
none could escape, and none, for tn
time being at least, would willingi!
. have escaped. DIR. HOss breaches
) another fine sermon on the evening @
J the same day, but, owing to the in
cessant down pour of rain, the con
{ gregation was unfortunately not s
) large as in the morning. 1t is hope
) by all that he can be persuaded to re
r peat his visits often hereafter,
