renowned INSTITUTION were Degun ldSl
Sunday with a sermon by DR.. W. Ii
LaPrade, of Jackson, at the Metho
dist church. AS usual on such occa.
sionS, that spacious building was pack.
ed with eager auditors who were more
than satisfied with the able discourse
of the noted Jackson divine. The
preachers theme was Love-" using
as the basis OF his sermon the incident
of Mary'S breaking the alabaSter box
and amounting the Saviors head with
the oil Of Spkenard. The eminent
expoSitor of holy writ drew some beau
tiful lessons from Mary's life and this
incident. He said she gave the most
costly and the most highly priced
thing she possessed to the Savior,
teaching thereby a lesson that all fu-
! ture generations should emulate, and
most especially should it appeal to
! the people of the twentieth century.
His discourse was most appropriate
one and was especially applicable to
the occasion.
At night the Rev. l.. NJ BrOyleS,
| pastor Of the First Methodist church
at Columbus, filled the pulpit at the
same church, preaching to the Ep-
worth League, and the young ladies
particularly. He plead for true wo-
manhood -wOmanhoOd in its purity
and simplicity, unfettered by the con-
! yentionalitieS and carbuncleS Of latter
day society. His sermon was highly
enjoyed. Mr.. BroyleS is one of the
young men OF North Mississippi Con-
ference and is destined to occupy a
place among the great preachers of
the world.
