AT THE VILLAGE CHURCH.

A very small congregation assembled
at the Village church, last Sunday morn |
ing, to hear Rev Mr. Barker of Newtown.
His sermon has been most highly spoken
of by those who heard him. This is the
second attempt of Rev Mr. Barker to
preach here and we regret that storm

a storm accompanied him during his lat
est trial. We hope he will in the future
try again.

DR.. Hamilton, Of the Northern Presbyterian
church, in Louisville, Ky. wri ting in the
Courier-Journal about Easter in that city
says;
Our own Easter was once the name of a god
dess worsbipped BY our Saxon forefathers,and
to her the month Of April was devoted, aud
Joyous rites observed in her honor. When
Christianity became the accepted religion,
naturally the people chung to many OF their
old customs. The church was forced to CON-
promise where she could not conquer. Justice
to the Southern Presbyterians Of Louisville
requires us to add that they have no part nor
lot in the compromise which the Catholic
church made with the pagans, but on the sec.
ond Lords day in April there was nothing but
the plain old Gospel, as they understand It,,
preached in their pulpits.

Point observed Easter as did those Louisville

HON. ROBERT A. VANCLEAVE,
Of jackson County,
CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR OF PUBLIC
ACCOUNTS.

Communicated to the Pearl River News by
'One Who Knows Him."
1t is not at every election the peo-
pie get a chance to vote for a candi-
date for public Office Of that p%articu-
lar type represented by Robert A.
Vancleave, of Ocean Springs, who is
lately announced as a candidate for
Auditor Of Public Accounts.
Many men seek office for that sort
of ambition that is fully gratiied
when they have received the certif-
cate of election. y very few seek
office for an opportunity to distin-
guish themselves by discharging its
duties so faithfully and efficiently as
to win the appreciation and esteem Of
the patriotic citizens of the country.
In other words, not satisfied with the
name Of being Il public officer, they
are ambitious of making such a splen-
did record of faithful and illustrious
public service, that they will be en-
| titled to the esteem and regard Of the
whole people. These few have a high
sense of duty, and Il lofty ideal by
which they are guided in its discharge
and above the petty shifts and clap
traps by means of which some men
win a~spccious notoriety. Such a man
is r. A. VancIeave. MI. Vancleave
for four years held a most important
and responsible Federal office, and
made for himself under most trying
surroundings a record. which for in
tegrity, fidelity and brilliant perform
ance Of duty, may fairly be said to
form a standard by which all his sue
cessors may be measured.
He Is q most accomplished man OF
business, and well equipped for the
discharge Of the important duties
which dcvolve upon the Auditor. A
gentleman of most agreeable and &C.
commodating disposition, yet when a
question of official duty is involved,
he is just and uncOmprOmising in what
he believes to be right.
1t can be safely said that Vancleave
wants the Office of Auditor not be-
cause of the salary attached to it, but
that realizing that he is perfectly
adapted by nature and training for
the discharge of its duties, and that
he and will make a brilliant
record for himself he has a laudable
and praiseworthy ambition to distin-
guish himself in the service of the
people on "a stage Of action worthy of
his abilities.
