Last Sunday, Rev. Paynes' figure
vas seen in the pulpit all day. Eleven
idatesSpresented themselves for
baptism To these as we'll as to the :
entire congregation he preached
good, plain and practical sermon, but
The best portion was the part about !
the immortality which has fastened its
cloyen foot upon every class OF socie-
ty. particularly our people. Such
subject as this should be taken mp by d,
every pulpit, press and platform
the entire country for
exists not only in the hum
BILE places but our entire society both
white and colored are becoming taint-
ed with this evil; and unless some
thing is done to check its progress,
the identity OF this race i'm few years
will eventually be destroyed. Rev
Paynes' course on this question is q
commendable, as well as a righteous
one, and every true lover of virtue,
purity and christianity should unite
and endeavor to Obliterate this sin,
which is undermining the very pillars
of society and destroying the sanctity |
of homes
The afternoon was a glorious one.
The speaker seemed to be possessed OF
the spirit OF the living God. The en-
tire congregation was moved. This
celebration OF the Lords Supper is one
long TO be remember d.
At night Brother James Washington
Pryor of chesterfield Co., Va, preach
ed an eloquent sermon. His theme
I'VE have seen strange things to-day"
It carried the minds OF his listeners
back to the day of their own redemp-
ton and all present enjoyed it
EDITOR MITCHELL SPEAKS.
On Sunday morning, July the 18th,
| Judge of the surprise of the congrega-
tion at the Fourth Bapt. hurch when
Rev. Payne announced that the fear
less and noble hearted race defender,
John Mitchell, Jr.. was in the building.
He was requested by Rev Payne TO
come forward and speak which he did
in a fifteen minutes talk. His theme
was the Lunenburg Case, which has
excited so much interest throughout
the land. He gave vivid and graphic
recital of the many thrilling incidents
to which he had been an eye witness.
In the case OF Mary Alternately he por-
trayed her suffering condition in such
an eloquent way that the entire con-
gregation. was with few exceptions,
deeply moved Then in strong and
manly tone he asked our people To
stand by him in the right. feeling as
sured however that a Just God would
right all wrongs.
