DIR. MOORES ADDRESS.
In the evening Dr. w. W. Moore de-
iivered the address before the Young
Mems Christian Association. His subject
was '1he Can Of Moses" Rarely IL 1t
the good fortune Of any audience to listen
OF a theme. The speakers presence was
striking and imposing, his delivery easy,
his cnunciation perfect. and his rhetoric
charming. The address was replete with
deep thought and research. with beauty
OF figure, aptness Of Illustration, and
throughout OF the closest logical connec-
ton and nterdependence. In the SPACE
Of this article il would be folly TO attempt
to convey an adequate impression of the
subject matter Of such an address The
speaker. however. rapidly but eloauently
outlined Moses's history up TO the time
that God called him TO deliver the Jews.
Then. taking up his text, which was taken
from Exodus, third chapter and
tenth verse. he dwelt at length
on the nature OF the call, its
attendant circumstances. the sig
nilicance OF the symbols. and Mosess four
excuses for not accepting the commission
He then showed how God answered these
one by one. that the same objections may
be and often are raised to calls TO Chris
tan work to-day: but that as in Moses s
case. so now as applied TO our young
men, they more often than not are not
valid; that Gods promise. 81 am with
thee" Is sufficient and applies TO all
time and men. In closing he contrasted
PauIs call and the manner OF its accept
ance with Mosess; showed the need Of
more men for Christ's work: that Christ
as wise husbandman would not SOW a
larger harvest than he had reapers to
gather. and inferred that If the field re-
quircd ten men for It's reaping. and only
one was at hand. there must be nine hold
ing back from one excuse or another.
In fine, IL was eloquent. il was mastery,
1t was magnificent. and has left on the
minds Of our people and students an i'm
preston that viii be felt for years and
years 10 come.
In the large audience were many Rich
mond. Norfolk. and Petersburg people
observation-disclosures Hoge Ty r and
family and Mr.. Stockton Heth and family
and many other strangers were also in
attendance.

at Charlottesville. Va. mention was made
that he was the son OF John 8. Skinner,
OF Maryland. &c. In years gone by the
father OF Colonel Skinner was closely

never seen a complete sketch of John :.

ediice was crowded 10 hear the bacca-
laureate sermon. The music was under
the charge of the Young Mems Christian
Association choir led by Mr. John Eure.
The voluntary. "\. ait Little" was
quite a gem. In fact. all the music was
particularly good. The sermon was
preached by Rev. II. p. Hamill ~. D..
pastor Of the Methodist Episcopal church.
South, at Charleston, W. Va. 1t was on
the conversion of the Phillipean jailer.
The reverend gentleman spoke for nearly
an hour. and treated his subject in a
very able manner. He described the
character Of the jailer before and after
conversion, and drew the contrast be-
tween him as an instrument of torture
to the Apostles before conversion: and
Of mercy 20 them after. The same gen
tIeman preached again at night to full
church. Both Of his discourses had a
happy effect, and created a very good
impression.
