DR.. COTTMAN'S SERMON.

Presiding Elder Cottman, of the
church, occupied the pulpit in ST.
Peters church, Decatur, last Sunday,
and preached one of the ablest SER
mons the writer has ever before
heard. A mastery, logical and elo-
quent discourse-historcal and psy-
Geological. His text was chosen from
Revelation, and was concerning the
Shrine of Worship, which was meas
ured and found to be equal in length,
breadth and height. His subject be-
ing the THE Perfect Cube" He was
master of his subject, and analysed
its most minute parts. He divided
man into four parts: Animal, intel
lectual, moral and spiritual. He en-
phasized the great need of harmony
among these constituent parts of the
man, and declared the intellectual and
spiritual as being the more important.
His auditors were held spell-bound
under his forcible and masterful de-
! livery of this classic discourse.
st. Peters church is hourishing as the
palm tree, and the good people of
Decatur are to be praised for the man.

ness, and for their progressive and
advanced ideas.
A large number partook of the
Lords Supper, and a most handsome
Offering was raised. The first quar-
ter under Rev. Marrow is most pro-
