Nature sent forth It's sunshine in all
its beauty last Sunday, while the sky
was without cloud. Man and beast
seemed 10 adore their Creator. Birds
and beast made obeisanoe to Him in
the woods and pastures among trees
and clover, while man praised Him in
the temples Thus our churches were
we'll attended.
At the Moore st. Baptist Church,
Rev r. Bseeher Taylor preached on
the Resurrection" In his discourse
ne claimed that the resurrection OF
Jesus Christ was the foundation of
christian religion. 1t was an excel
lent DISCOURSE
Rev. w. II. White preached to the
congregation OF the Fifth Street Bap-
tist Church, and richly fed them with
Gods truths.
Communion services were held at
the Ebenezer Baptist Church and the
congregation was exceedingly large.

will take place in June.
Quite n sensation was raised in the
eastern portion OF our section on last
Saturday nigh when William Thomas

caught for shooting officer Minor. 1t
had been talked around by some that
he would be lyDched and crowds gath
cred around the LIST Police Station. By
n shrewd trick the prisoner was soon
lodged in white cell in the city jail,
where he was guarded by a number OF
police officers with the sergeant and
jailer. Notwithstanding this heavy
guard. colored men and boys lodged
themselves near by to protect the
peace and law of this grand old COM
monwealth. We compliment our off,
