In the afternoon, the sky became clouded and light showers threaten- ing heavier rains prevented many from attending the evening services. First Preshyterian Church —1n the morning, the pastor. Dr. Sunderland, preached from Jobn, 7th Chapter and 37th verse, ‘Ia the lastdav, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saving, If any man thirst, let him come onto me and drink”: The feast referred to was the Jewish feast of tal» ernacles held in Jerusalem, in the season of the year corresponding to our months of September and October, and lasted eight days It was one of the three great solemnities of the Jewish year at whieh all the males were required to b pre- sent. The last. or great day of the feast was one of still greater solemnity and power, and it was therefore called the Hosanna ratla. On the re Church of the Ascension —Rev. Mr. Pinkney discoursed with characteristic clearness from the 6th verse of the 3d cha: of Timothy—‘ And swithont controversy a the mystery of God- Therteenth Street Baptist Church—Rev Dr. Cole preached in the evening from Mathew, 25th chapter, 4th verse: “And these shall go away into everlasting ponishment ’ Kyland Chapel.—tn the morning, the Rev.

Oh that we could portray this Jesus to the conception and apprebension of men, and picture the that thrilled in that vast multitude as he stood there and uttered this invitation. Let ns cul toxethber let us all resolve with her and with God that we yi other by the band, that we will by side into the prese of Jesus Christ. and that we will drink from the well of water that shall spring up in our souls, unto ever- lasting life. The text at night was in Isaiah, 57th chapter and 16th verse, “Fer | will not contend forever, neither will [be always wroth, for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which | have made.** Fourth Preshyterian Church —The Rev. Dr. J C. Smith (pastor) discoursed in the morning from the words as recorded in the Sth verse, 4th chap. Book of Proverbs— Exalt her and she shall pro- mote thee.” Every careful and even easual ob- server had perceived, he said. that many objects Were effectually accomplished by means indirectly ppl ed. In this there was a principle, and that pr le was infolded in the text, and lay in the administration of the divine government, and was interwoven in all the affairs of men. § piritaal things might be understood from every day oc- currences. Nature and grace were not 0} ites, as some wonld seem to believe. ‘The siinple truth was that grace made nature the bandmaid of every good. The text taught that there was a promo- Uon before them, and that this promotion was a fair, legitimate. and honorable object, after which they might seek with every assurance of success. ‘The speaker then proceeded to remark on the two subjects directly before them—tirst, Promotion, and, second, the means of obtaining that promo- tion. The object of the present discourse was to exhibit the highest or most glorious, because most divine. pre can aspire or God himself bestow. T! r recognized the doctrine of promotion as just : proper. The man who lea of promotion, who plodded along he wi nothing better or low grade, and up the mind points the spirit to that promotion that God had ordaincd, places the means in their reach, and urged them to apply these meats. In divine things this promotion was advancement in every- that was pure, honest. lovely, and of good report If man sought promotion for its own sake he ougbt to fail, and also if be sought it at the ex- pense of others. Duty for the sake of duty, right for the sake of right. industry for the sake of em- ploy was the proper spirit by iret of the afternoo mission of Peter to the bouse which Cornel from him. ‘1 verse }oth ius, in sends for Peter to hear words we text was the latter part of the 7tb ter of the Acts of the A posties. Methodist Protestant Church, Ninth Street — Rev. L. W. Bates, pastor, preaced an eloquent discourse upon the retrospect of life, from the sth verse of the 47th chapter of Ge: And P roah said unto Jacob, How ol thou??? In application of the subject, the reverend gentle arked that many whep they looked upon declared that if they had their ie ey would live differently. Tut evidence of sincerity in this. It is never too late to live well; and if they were sin- cere in their assertions, they would give evidence of i: by beyinning at once to change their mode of life. The preacher dwelt upon the pleasure the contemplat.on of a well-spent life affords. Atnight, upon thesubject of ministering angels, taking for bis text the Lith verse of the Ist chapter of Hebrews, “Are they not ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.” ‘The text refers to augelis as the min- isteriny spirits. The desiznation applies to them ally rather than essentially. After a brief anation of terms. the minister proceeded to a k. Roman, Musselman, and Jewish doctrines of ministering spirits. Then taki the seriptneal account. proceeded to the arguments in faver of ministering angels, their rank office Firs: Baptist Church —Rev. Dr. Hill, pastor, preached inthe morning from the 5th chapter of iatthew, Sth verse: ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.’ There without a pare beart: this is the r Gost.
