pANv1lLE. ", March "a, ls9e.


Rev. G. w. Goode of West Point was
formally installed as pastor of the
calvary Baptist Church last sabbath at
the IL o'clock service, Rev. w. Il.
johnson of Lexington otficiated, being
assisted by Revs. X. q. Adams and w.
Ii. Bsrksdale. Rev. Johnson spoke
from the text: "Is thine hesrt right7"
Judging from the close attention and
hearty "amens" given, the preacher
drove the truth home to many a heart.
No installation sermon preached In
this city ever created as much favora-
bic com ment for suitability, practical
bility and depth of thought.
In the afternoon, Rev. w. Nj. Moss
preached This brilliant divine gave a
most excellent sermon, abounding
with wholesome advice to both, pastor
and people. Rev. Moss has in q very
large degree a style of oratory that
charms and sways his hearers. His
| people love him and show their appre-
| citation by turning out in large num-
| bers upon any occasion on which he is
| TO preach.
The charge was delivered by Rev
Robert q. Adams, who in a calm and
/ dignine0 manner. pointed out 10 the
new pastor the PITFALLS and snares
that would be put in his path and
| showed him how TO shun them.
Rev. w. ii. Barksdale, the oldest
Baptist minister in this section then
came forward and i'm fatherly man
ner, presented the Bible.
Rev. w. L. Johnson officiated again
at night. a large congregation greet
ed and paid close attention while he
spoke from the text: Remove not the
ancient landmarks of your father
No subject was more fitting for the oc.
casion than the one selected. In this
day of innovations, it is refreshing u
see q holy man of God hold up hit
hands and cry aloud Remove not the
ancient land marks" If Rev. johnson
can be forgotten by the Calvary
! Church, his sermon will not be.
!, Rev. Goode and his people start of
with prospects most suspicious and j
they fail, they will have themselve
| only TO blame. The new pastor is al
| ready gaining the confidence of hi
D | members and the public at large ap
: preciate by attending his services.

n wife and is stopping with Rev. Moss
AS q revival is in progress at the lat
