What Is the Matter With Hannah.
tm* question, which threatens to become a moot-
cese, as celebrated as ths unsolved problem of "who
struck Billy Patterson," Is iu a fair way of obtaining
a final adjudication at tho highest tribunal of the
State.
A divorce case came up before the reoent term of
the Superior Court of Muscogee county, and Hannah
was the Christian name of one of the parties to the
suit Several eminent lawyers were employed as
counsel on both sides, among them one from this
city. In the argument of the case each of the gen
tlemen started out with the premising proposition
he would enlighten the ('curt and Jury in re
gard to ••what's the matter with Hannah." The rase,
as decided, not giving satisfaction to the parties in
terested. will be carried to the Supreme Court, w
it win be again argued; and it Is confidently expect-
«vl that, between the elucidations of able counsel
the opinion of the learned triumvirate upon toe
Bench, the popular question will be finally and satis
factorily settled, and the world will know beyond
a doubt ‘‘what's tbe matter with Hannah."

chance to get along without it aud we hope soon to

TEXT- Bui Ood hath chuten the foolieh of the world to
conftmml the wiee ; and Ood hath ehoeen the weak
thinat tf tAe aorUi ta confound the thing* which a
moon would reflect Oteir hutre, and even the rtaia
would sand torts their rh—ring, yet feeble light, to
illuminate the darkness of the Uni vena. And so,
ware the Bible not presented to mankind, nature sod
reason would to some extent mUlghtesi the
darkness of the world. But their light would be bat
, as a glimmer is the darkness—white the greet souros
of light and knowledge withheld from man would
leave him groping in mental and moral gloom.
The entrauoe of Ood’s word glveth light:
let. Upon the otlgin and history of the world.—
•Through faith we understand that the worlds
framed by the word of God, so that things which are
seen were not made of things which do appear,
the first oheptor of Genesis, we have the only record
of the creation at the world. God said. "Let there
be light, end there waa light" He divided the light
from the darkness, caused the dry tend to appear,
the sun to rule by day and the moon by night, peo
pled the earth and the waters after their kind, aud
lastly, said, "Let us make man in our own image, af
ter our likeness," and it was done aa God had com
manded. Yet tn these leal days, with the full intel
ligence^ the nineteenth ceutury blazing around
them, man—like Darwin—enshrouding themselves
In philosophy and guided only by the light of reason,
degrade themselves by aaaertlug their origin as exis
ting iu lower forms of life than the beasts that per'
iah. Of all tbe creatures that cams from the hand of
God. n»sn is the only one that has proven disobedi
ent end Indulged in intentional wickedness.
He ‘wran from the hands jf his Maker a perfect be
ing. Sin had entered the wo-ld, tbe result of disobe
dience, and man bad fallen from his high estate.—
tinmen reason had attempted to account for this ad-
advent of sin, and resulted only In toe tabled "Pau-
dors'* Jar" of evil spirits let loose upon the world.
The word of God by its revelations brought light and
knowledge; by it we learn bow Eve, becoming dis
obedient, brought sin and all its attendant evils up-
i the world.
3d. The entrance of God's word givlth light in the
history of nations and peoples.
By the sacred record we trace the history of the
Jewish nation from their origin to the days of Mala-
ohi; their triumph and their defeats; their prosperi
ty and their adversity; their long line of moral and
Immoral raters; the wisdom and Justice of David;
the wickedness end Impiety of Behoboem.
Sd. The entrance of God’s word giveth light to the
eouL
Saul of Tarsus, before bis conversion, ere his soul
had beau enlightened by the entrance of God'i
—persecuted the saints, oonflnlng them In prisons,
putting them to death, and went forth breathing
threatoulngs and cruelty against thorn—thinking ke
was dotug God's service. But when kia heart be
came sanctified by the grace of God and his mind en
lightened by the entrance of the word, he became
the zealous apostle and the heroic preacher of truth,
oountlng it Joy to auffler persecutions, imprisonment
and trials, knowing that ail thing* work together for
good to them that love Ood.
How shall the word find entrance into our hearts!
1st. By tearful reeding. Seerch the Scriptures; weigh
well all it* teachings. It is the best book of sdvloe
that can be given to the young. No oue has ever yet
known of an instance when a person, who has made
the word of God his oonstant study, obeying its in
structions and 1 allowing its precepts, has ever fallen.
Make it your counsellor end your law-giver.
3d. Always listen to Its reading, devoutly and fer
vently. When you gather around the femlly alter in
your homes, listen earnestly and attentively as the
word of God is read. Let your mind dwell upon it;
you will Aud each aord a treasure, each promise
gem.
3d. Believe It; commit yourself to it; give it your
full frith. Tbe teachings of the word is as gold with

A well known gentleman and an old cltixen has
adopted the theory that by planting large tracks of
tend in grass it would so effect the atmosphere as to
produce rain. Several artlclos on this rather nsw
theory have appeared at different times In an Agricul
tural publication in this place. The gentlfMRft In
question has a " patch" of grass of about eight acres
which he attributes the greatqu*itity of rain that
ha<* fallen the present year, and writes an article in
indication of tho truth of his tfcebry. It seems
hat an old Almanac maker in tfte SOfithern part of
the State, and of whoso calculations as to
tho weather probabilities are much more
reliable than tho telegraphic reports of the
Associated Prase and who has gained the confidence
of a number of people as to the rellabOity of his
calculations, predicted quite a drouth thlaftmr about
the time thero wae.so much rain. This, of course*
has shaken tho confidenoo ot tho peoplo in their

Hers is s profound affirmation respecting the mode
of the Divine existence. Hero, also, is s practical
deduction from this affirmation respecting toe mode
of human worsaip. As is often tho case in the word*
of Jesus, between these two great sentence* there te
much to be supplied. In these words Christ lays
open, 1st. Tho ground or*plritual worship. 3d. The
method of spiritual worship.
Worship i* based upon the groat truth that God te
an unoriginated, omniscient, omnipresent, eternal
Spirit. He stands at tho head of the universe of
mind. He Is a spirit without our motion of parte—
great without our idea of quantity, perfect without
our idea of quality, everywhere present without our
Idem of locality, wise without our processes of rea
soning. When we hsve reached our highest concep
tions of an Infinite Spirit, ws are to oonaider that
thera are heights far beyond our thoughts. Let
Ohavubiaa and Seraphim, with spirits expanded
through countless ages, at last exclaim, "we have
found out God." Al! Heaven would rebuke toe blas
phemy and cry, "God la more than your boldest
conceptions."
Worship Is based upon snother great truth. Tho
human soul waa formed in a divine mould—in toe
Image of God, toe Eternal 8pirit Like Him,
equal to Him, for the created cannot equal the crea
tor. Skeptics tell ua that the soul is the reeult of
material organization. We need not wonder that
materialists do not worship God; they sweep away
all ground-work of worship.
Spiritual worship requires the whole spirit—the e
erctse of the understanding. It ia more than mo
transient impression or exhibition of feeling. It
more toon refined sentimentality. The Christian
muat be a reflecting man. Spirit worship requires
Ar rested.

Text—"A i
friendly:
a brother." Proverbs xriii-34.
Two renowned characters in the person* of OI(v« r
Goldsmith, the poet and historian, and Arlatotle, tbe
philosopher and logician, although born roapec lively
on the eoila of Ireland and toe Greek colony of Mac
edonia, and were eeperated a* to the period* of their
births by an intervention of many centuries, yet
entertainod too same views with regard to toe obli
gation* imposed by friendship. Goldsmith declared
that "friendship was but a name," while ArUtotlc ex
claimed, "Alas there are no friends."
Theiio *re but representatives of all mankind. 1*
i* often a melancholy htitory that if you are kind it
iabut the luUtory step to a prooes* that ia to culmi
nate iu betrayal; if caroaeed it U but an indieatiou
of bollownesa. This world will always treat n* a*
we treat it; friendship ia In response to friendship.
Byron, when but a score and ten years old, in the
utterance "my heart is in the sear aud yellow loaf,”
but foruished au instance of his experience of the
uaHubstautial character of human friendship.
There is such s thing ss false friendship, bought
by gsld and stimulated by lutorest, it flouriitbea in
sunshine, it is evanescent, end tbe duration of its
cxistenoo is often measured by the continuance of
the shining gold in your open palm. It gives you
sympathy when the aun ia enveloped in shadow,
and storm a arise, and you are summoned to encoun
ter tho rude shocks of adversity. Human history
luruialu a many striking illustrations of the unrelia
bility o(s profession tost Is predicated upon consid-
rationa that hsve alone sordid ends to accomplish.
But there is auch a thing as pure and genuine friend
ship—that has its foundation in toe recognition of
true virtue. Demon and Pythcos, and Jonathan and
David, ore shining examples that serve to relieve
humanity from the charge of utter and universal
•lflahnees—those are Instances of unadulterated
friendship that challenges our admiration.
Christiau friendship ia not influenced by the charm
of gold or any consideration beyond purposes that
to contribute to the success and bapplncea of the
object of regard ; it gently throws over Imperfec-
the veil of charity. The sacred injunction
ia heeded, •• bear ye, each others' bQrdena anti
fulfill the law." A brother's friendship ia tho
highest type of friendship, bone of onr bone and
flush of our flush, muat carry with it the most pow
erful incentives to promote comfort and unalloyod
happtuo**. And yet, •• thore ia a friend that atickoih
closer than a brother." Onr Lord had no questions
of interest to consider. He is that friend that
uto all—grasp everything that pertains to
or eterulty, of present or future. The friendsh'p of
him moot* every human emergency ; there is
nothing in hla character to excite suspicion of waut
of genulfr-ueoa. When we need him moet
farthest from him. The time will come when all
aarihly friendship ahall fell, the grave will open and
the profound conviction that wo are alone, will seise
with horror upon our consciences. In this world
ive troops of friends, moved by motives already
contemplated. In too hour of dissolution if
could oommand all that earth oould give, if we have
the friend with ua •• that eticketo closer thou
brother," we will be of all men the most miserable.

Text—Itaee l Ua** with you.—John xiv:37.
The sermon was one of tos hast we have heard
from him. He commenced by referring to ths pro
pliedu* which tradition has always given ns in con
nection with the birth of great men in early time*,
tiuch hod attended the advent of Confucius, whose
philosophy wielded so looting on influence on the
mind* of hi* lellow men in India that they worshipped
him a* the impersonation of God.
Much hod attended tho birth of Mahomet, who svar
looked forward te the time when his doctrines should
be received by all, and who disseminated these doc-
trim a far and wide by opening a way with the sword,
sad enriching toe soil for them with drops of blood.
But It Is remarkable that Jeaua, whose advent waa
likewise heralded by prophecy, came for the estob-
liuhnient of peace. His prophetic title was not so
much the Mighty God, or Everlasting Counsellor, as
the Prince of Peace. It was likewise prophesied
"Of hla kingdom and hi* peace there shall be no
end." The soug* of the angels on the memorable
Christinas rnoru were *• Peace on earth, good will to
man."
The luveliuoas of Jesus' own character was most
show n in Ills word* of peace and love that fell aa
the dews on Mount Henaou aud aa oil on the
troubled waters. Uia disciple* were beginning to
realize Ilia approaching departure whon He aaid to
them, "Yet a little while aud ye shall *e* me no
more." Every token from Him was cherished, and
and low this leader and teacher waa to be taken away.
But Ho promised them a benediction ol everlasting
blessedness in laying. "Peace I leave with you, my
peace 1 give unto you, uot as the world giveth, give I
unto you,"—not to the strong, the hearty, the pros
perous. toe wealthy, but to all those who loved Him.
His words were spoken to all nations, and they for
bid the fierce spirit of war. And yet elsewhere He
•aid that He oaiue to bring fire and sword ; why waa
this ! him ply that toe Gospel ia a flaming eword to
error ; to those who deepiae God, He cornea as a fire,
but to those who obey Hun as pesos. Nowhere in
Holy Writ can anything be found to Justify war.—
Borne may urge it ss s necessity through which the
world is purified as the atmosphere is purified by the
thunderstorm. History gives nothing to show that
science is advanced by it, or society improved; in
deed humanity ia at its minimum in war, and only
too often did we ourselves in past years of blood
shed, behold those found wanting whose moral char
acters had stood high. Jesus therefore promised to
humanity that which it most needs, s reign of peace,
aud all statesmanship, philosophy and religion should
aim to hasten the time when men's differences ahall
be settled without the shedding of blood.
The message of Jesus, "Peace 1 leave with you,"
applies to every man individually. If ws are not si
peace with ourselves, with others, and In anticipation
of the life te come, we neglect the precious gift which
he has left aa a legacy to our undying souls. The
Prophet trit this in predicting of Prinoe a Peace, and
Jeeua agaiu touched the same chorda of toe heart in
tying "Peace." That for which uiir souls thirst
is peace. The world harasses thoee who occupy its
highest stations ; ambition has its (horns and aotis-
toc beuightod heart; wealth brings not peace,
for each of its diamonds in the sunlight of day radi
ates pale through care. In our children at the
hearthstone, iu our iriends, in all that we call bless
ings there is no abiding peace. There is a philoso
phy through which we may strive to become Indif
ferent to tbe loss of wealth and friends, but few si
lts peace la distinct from that which Jeeua
give*, and it ia fit only for s summer evening when
nature is lovely and we ouraelvea are already at peace
with aocit-ty. The peace which Jeaua gives
for the losses of toe present by the promise of
God to restore them in the future. Abiding peace
cornea ouly from a realization of toe truth that Jesus
is the Son of God and can enable us to bear the
evils of life aud face the Great Judge on toe morn
ing of resurrection.
Christ's legacy of peace applies to man in his so
cial relations. If quiet and happiness reign at the
domestic altar it is only when the principles of
Christ's doctrine are errried out. It teaches toot
love au<l peace must exist between husband and
wife, pareut aud child, creature and creator,
ouly in domestic aud political relations must peace
reigu, but cs;>criaLy iu thoee of an ecclesiastical na-
', for to the so especially who constituted his
church did Christ say, "My peace I leave with you."
In proportion as church members follow Christ's
ample so will they recoivo hi* blessing, and it is only
in the reign of peace that prosperity can exist.
Party mint kills prosperity and dishonors God.
The Rector thou enumerated some of the historical
