The Revival Meetings,

The revival meeting at the Bap
tist church last night was well at
tended and great interest was
manifested from beginning to end.
Rev. ]. ]. Parsons, the eloquent
and gifted pastor of the Jackson
vile church. was present and took
charge of the services. When the
people heard him last night, they
little wondered that he drew such
large audiences at his home church.
His singing is an inspiration. In
fact, he sings as he breaches, with
that power, pathos and richness
that stamps him as man imbued
with the power of the Holy Ghost.
After singing number of in
spring gospel songs, he delivered
most interesting discourse, TAX
ing for his theme "The Glory of
the Gospel" and the following
text found in I. Timothy III: Gao
cording to the Gospel of the glory
of the blissful God, with which l
was intrusted." Following is a
condensed outline of his sermon:
1. The Gospel is glorious in the
substance of its message. (a) The
Gospel reveals God of love. (b)
The world has ever held miseon,
ceptions of the character of God
in his relation to men. The Cos
pei comes to dissipate these erro
neous ideas.
2. The Gospel is glorious in the
manner of it's communication. Ca
Announced by the angels, pro
claiming peace on earth, good viii
to men. (b) Preached by Jesus
the Son Of God, manifesting th'
love of the Father. and his pur
pose to reconcile the world upt'
himself. (c) Carried by multi
tudes of evangels, whose ministr,
is ever a revelation of love.
8. The Gospel is glorious in tn
results Of its message. (a) Th
power of the Gospel is manifesto
in its transforming influence, whel
ever preached. it bears it's own tel
timony, uplifting society throug

Early in life he became impressed
with desire to preach the gospel.
At the age of I8 he began to
preach in the NJ. E. church and
continued until failing health COM
pslled him to quit. He entered
public life and was chosen to some
of the highest positions of honor
and trust within the gift of the
people and On all occasions proved
himself a man of unimpeachable
character. He had been married
forty-nine years, and eight chill
dren were born, most of whom
survive him. Five years ago he
came to this city accompanied by
his wife and daughter, Miss Jessie.
and has since lived at the home
of his son, r. G. Bake.
The remains will be taken to
Tallahassee on the night express

sympathy of the entire commu
nifty in their hour Of deep sorrow.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to
know that the very best medicine
for restoring the tired out nervous
system to healthy vigor is Electric
Bitters. This medicine is purely
vegetable, acts by giving tone TO
the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the liver and kid
reys, aud aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves
the appetite, aids digestion and is
pronounced by those who have
tried it as the very best b'ood pu
riher and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold

and the prospects are favorable for an
early agreement between the two govern
ments. Ambassador Hay had a long and
satisfactory interview yesterday with Mr..
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, and afterwards met Lord Sails

position being defined by his own side as

We are asked to state that all negotiations
with Lord Salisbury on this subject are
conducted by Ambassador Hay. IL would
seem unnecessary 20 most people that this
should have to be officially stated. but
there are reasons why the actual position
should be properly described.
