AGAINST MODERN EVANGELISM.

Rev. Edward Mack, Jr., of the
Presbyterian church, has preached a
sermon in Charlotte against modern
evangelism. 1t was out Of the usual
order and the subject of the young
preachers discourse and the scathing
and able manner in which he handled
, it, has attracted much attention. The
Charlotte CN10NitA says OF it:
Young Rev. Edward Mack preached
4 scathing sermon yesterday in the First
Presbyterian church against evangelsts.
The sermon was perhaps suggested
upon the announcement that Rev.
| Sam Jones will come to Charlotte in
November. We are not prepared at
this time to sit in juo gMeEt upon the
merits of the Gainesville cracker, too
it is said that this talk in cold type
does not do him Justice. But when he
comes, nearly every one in town will

makes mud blaze with genius. He
| has an array OF feeble imitators who
have neither genius nor any sense of
decency. They are a sepscach to the
| cause.
The Nczos, of the same city, COM
ments more at length. It says:
He took firm stand against evange-
ism as it has been practiced in this
country. and spoke of it as menace

simple, touching and tender story O!
the Saviour shedding his blood for
mankind, as told by the pastors from
the pulpits is not sufficient to save
souls, then TIC other power can do it, -
said Mr.. Mack. lie ESQ made a
point that the material one evangelist
works over, is worked over by, the
next conner. Mr.. Mack spoke elo-

and gather the harvest which belongs
to him, and which would have been

Church done their duties. The Chris
tan people of the Church, he held,
are the true evangelists, and he coun-
seled them to so among the people
and lend the helping hand wherever
1t was needed. The harvest is ripe.
They should gather it to themselves
and not wait for the travelling evange-
lists

Although am the owner Of the prop
erty on which the first battle Of Bull Run
was fought, did not see the battle. I re-
turned from Alexandria soon after that
event and witnessed the second battle at
this point. My mother was killed in her
bed with q shell from 81 Federal battery at
the first battle. She was blind, aged and
HELPLESS at the time, aad as the battle
RACED about the house it was as safe to
remain indoors as on any other spot. Cen
eraI Sherman and Senator Cameron visited
here a few years since. Sherman had not
been on the field since the battle in July,
1851 He asked no questions. lie seemed
to know every point Of interest, and the
several positions Of troops During his
STAY he made but one wrong observation
He said, "Nr. Henry, was in you. house
durinp the battle" ~ said: mo, general
The house then standing was destroyed. T"
.Oh. yes" he replied. IL remember there
WIS a wide hall in the mouse, and this one
has none" | recite this to demonstrate
Sherman's careful attention to details
General Sherman asked me If would sell
nv property. If cared to part with it he
knew a man who would buy It. l learned
subsequently that the intending purchaser
was senator Don Cameron. Senator Cam
eron's uncle was killed 1t the head Of the
Seventv-ninth Highlanders a few rods
from my house
Generals Bee and Barton, of South Caro-
lima, were also killed forty rods distant,

a. ! mut,.,rtant Part That stea pa and
ia they vricity Played in 1851
theT, an. aely be admitted thatif fhe con-
ditions g. warfare had been the fame in
1861 rs they were ia 1875, or, in OUT iudg-
ment, as ls.se as 1850, the predictioniof Ma
poleon and Palmerston Of the failure Of
the north would in all probability have
been fulfilled.
But the conditions were not the same.
Steam and electricity had in the interview
ing time asserted their power, and had
rendered possible for a Mcclellan or a
Grant what had been impossible for Ma.
poleon. It was found that the capacity OF
2 territory through which it was proposed
to move an army, for the task OF support
ing that army might generally be dlsfe-
earded. It was found perfectly feasible 70
maintain a large force for any length OF
time in regions where no subsistence OF
any sort or kind was furnished By the soil
IL was found that water transportation
Of men and supplies was as certain anu
uniform, as much 20 DE relied upon as
transportation by land; that the winds ana
waves Of the ocean and the strength ana
direction of the flow Of rivers could equally
be ignored when it was proposed to trans
port troops or subsistence or ammunition
to a given spot.
1t was found that a blockade maintained
by steam vessels, though not absolutely
perfect was a far more certain and con
slant check on foreign intercourse than
conld be effected by any employment OF
sailing vessels. BY the telegraph all avall-
able resources could be utilized without
the loss Of a moment, and all information
instantaneously communicated to or from
HEADQUARTERS to or from any part Of the
theater Of war.
In other words, machinery had in the
progress Of time become one of the great
factors in military operations, and ITS IN
PRODUCTION worked as marked a revolution
In the practice Of commanders on land and
sea as its adoption for purposes OF manu-
facture or Of accommodation hau
worked in the world Of business and or
binary life. And, what was Of the great
est Importance TO the north, the advantages
of this great change in matters Of warfare
were absolutely at the call Of the stronger
and more wealthy of the two combatants-
