NEW PASTOR IN CHARGE.
Rev. MIR. NOrdt Officiatcd at Hickory
Street PRESBYTERIAN Church.

Rev. Mr.. Nordt Officiatcd at Hickory
Street Presbyterian Church.
Rev. William A. Nordt officiated yes
terday for the first time as pastor of
the Hickory Street Presbyterian
church. He preached morning and We
ming to congregations that occupied
every seat in the church.
His morning discourse was on the
text, "And when they had lifted up
their eyes they saw no one save Jesus
only" The TRANSPORTATION of Christ,
said the speaker, was a sign to His
apostles Of his divinity, that they would
understand his presence among them
was about to ease; but His word was
left for them to preach to all mankind.
Rev. Mr.. Nordt told his congregation
that he had not come among them to
preach any new doctrine; they shall
neal from him only teachings laid down
in the word of God. He touched brief
ly on the past troubles in the church
and advised that the past be forgotten;
the present can be made fruitful and
with Gods help the future will be
bright.
In the evening his text was, Come
now and let us reason together, saith
the Lord: though your sins ne as scar
let, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they
shall be as wool" This discourse ex-
planned the great mercy Of the Savior.
He invites mankind and promises to
them forgiveness for their transgres-
sions against His laws. The speaker
urged the present as the acceptable
time.

SIN OF UNCHASTITY.
To DC Dealt with by the Pastor Of Trinity
Lutheran Church.,

The announcement of two meetings
to be held in Trinity Lutheran church.
corner of Adams venue and Mulberry
street, Will be received with interest
by persons of each sex. who can appre-
ciate the full meaning of the word,
"unchastity." in it's personal sense.
The meetings are to follow a sermon
on "Unchastity," to be preached next
Sunday evening in Trinity church by
the pastor. Rev. Edwin Lunn Miller.
On Monday evening, Dec. 9. u meet
ing for men and boys only will be held
and addresses will be made as follows:
"~Unchastity as a Civic Crime" Hon.
William l.. Connell, mayor of Scranton;
"~unchastity as Revealed to the Physi-
cian," William w. Ives, NJ. d.: 1.-THE
Cultivation of Personal Purity" Lowell
NJ. Gates, NJ. d..
On Tuesday evening, Dec. 10, will
be held a meeting for only,
especially for mothers and daughters.
This meeting will be addressed by Mrs.
Frances Il. Swan, president of the
board of directors of the Florence Crit
tenden mission. and member of the
poor board: and by Miss Anna Nj.
Clarke, NJ. d.
In reference to the meetings the fol-
lowing a been received by The Tri-
bune from Rev. Mr.. Miller:
I'm sending the announcement of adj
dresses to be delivered in Trinity church
on the subject of "Unchastity," it may be
necessary to add a word of explanation:
1t Is not intended to ~inaugurate a regu-
lation crusade against the social evil in
this city, but rather to warn those whose
hearts are not yet scared by this body and
soul-destrOying flame of hell. Under the
conviction that prevention Is far better
than cure, and that the Christian ambas-
sador dare keep back nothing that is
profitable. it is purposed to deal plainly
with a subject upon which there Is, too
often, criminal silence.
Obviously certain phases of the evil cam
not be dealt with in the pulpit, neither is
the preacher qualified to speak of them as
the magistrate, the physician and others
whose professional ndphilanthropic work
brings them in still closer contact with the
browning curse of society. For this rea-
son the sermonic discourse for the general
public is to be followed by separate meet:
ings of men and women, to be addressed
by well known and highly respected per-
sons, whose opportunities for presenting
needful facts are necessarily large.
They say that Luther once threw his
inkstand at the devil. However hat may
be, printers ink, II 1t reflects sound moral
principles, is good stuff to throw at the
devil of ~uncleanness. If it does not kill,
its blackness gives his disguise the color
of his real self, and thus alarms the I'M
suspecting. 1t is therefore hoped that the
usual help of the city press will be extend
ed this effort in the interest of good NOR
ais, and that there will be no attempt to
give this matter a sensational, and thus
doubtless a harmful, coloring.
Edwin Lunn Miller.

THE A. G. s. R. R. LITIGATION.
A Statement by Judge SomeryiIle.

To the Age Herald:
 I have read with astonishment the in terview of MT. Alex r. Lo ldon published in the Age-Herald of the 11th instant,and his subsequent card in reply to MT. James Weatherly, all bearing on the pending litigation between the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company and sundry parties who are seeking to redress their grievances against that corporation in the courts of the state.
 No one who has just cause need ever be anxious to arouse popular prejudiceS with the hope of reaping any selfish ben eft. provided only the tribunal whose function it is to decide the cause be inn partial, learned and courageous. Hence l leave to others the questionable prac- tice of discussing the merits of pending litigation through the medium of the newspaper press. decline to do so. I desire only to correct statement made by MT. London, which could have orig mated from no other source than errone- ous information, which he seems to have too credulouSly received. He says in his interview in connection with the Green ough case:
 Tt is an open secret that the counsel for the appellants in that case in the su- preme court have stated that they had no case, and though two months have elapsed since the case was fully argued. no decision has yet been rendered"
 MT. Henry CTdWIOTu anu myself ar gued the Greenough case in the supreme court, and the inference is reasonable that the assertion has reference to one or both of us.
 I wish to say that I have neither en- tertained nor expressed any such opin- ion as that attributed to me by MT Lon don in the above quoted paragraph.
 My opinion as to the merits of the case was expressed with perfect candor the argument made before the court, in MT. London's hearing, and I have never expressed in private or public any opin- ion in the slightest degree contradictory of the argument then made.
 MT. Crawford, 1 am sure. does not hold, nor could he have uttered any opinion adverse to his well known enthusiastic confidence in the merits of the case, and in its ultimate success before the courts.
 It pains me to say that in my humble judgment it i'll comports with the highest conception of legal ethics for counsel to make assertions of this character in the public press, and my amazement in this instance is enhanced by the high esteem in which have always held the honor able gentleman above named, both per sonally and professionally.
 The supreme court of Alabama needs no defense at any ones hands against the attack of MT. London, based on the continuance of the cause by the court last February, which was done on ac- count of the serious sickness and conse- quent compulsory absence of MT. Craw- ford This action was in accordance with the just and settled practice of the court

Does Not Suit Some of the Military-Letter
 From Captain Brandon.
 An effort is being made by some of the companies of the state troops to have the annual encampment deferred to some date not earlier than June 19 Yester- day Captain Hart of the Huey Guards re- ceived the following letter from Captain Brandon of the Ttskaloosa company:
 Tuscaloosa, April 13.--Capt G. r. Hart, Birmingham-Dear Sir: I write to ask you to use your influence to have the coming encampment after the 18th of June. My reason for. doing this is be- cause of the various commencement ex- ercises all over the state. This would if sencampment Is held during or before the commencements, necessarily decrease the attendance at camp. This is especially true of this section. If encampment is held after the above mentioned date my command will go sixty strong, otherwise l will not have a "corporals guard" Please write Governor Oates personal letter to this end and greatly oblige, yours fraternally,

 To Out-of-ToWn Patients:
 Since the establishment of the South ern Medical Dispensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was thefirst medical institute in Birmingham-as the tiles of the city papers will show-our success has been so pronounced es to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled told reliable specialistso to inn itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious pretensions end heroic self-praise make capital for themselves by their questionable methods. We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do- zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in- terests and safety by first making an invt stigation of the home character of the man that they would have treat them.
 If you are a member of any church, or if you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of H., K.
