Bishop Becker preached a ser mon last Sunday, at Wilinmgton, on tne “Apostolic Su cession,” the occ isiou t eing the consecration of Bishop Curtis. Ins successor at that place. The sermon was an able one and has been very generally men tioned by the press. Following is an. extract from the sermon : “The only church which has genealogical pedigree direct, clear and concise is the Church o! Rome. Here, through her some two hun dred and twenty four Pon iff-, from Leo XIII. to St. Peter, if any coi - ’ fidence can be placed in the vener-| ibie record- of history, take ; fairly and without prejudice, we have a more perfect sn cession than even in this highly favored republic can be shown among the acki owledghd chief magistrates.” “Tins, then, is the Catholic,” Le continued, ‘which at all times was known by the civil governments, all of which she has outlived, for she has an immortal life. Her works are visible all over the world. She live with very inadequate means conquered to the service of her Master the whole of Christendom she teaches with authority affirma tive truths. bhe proves her abso- lute unity by the principle of authority, and has not only the devout allegiance of her members, who have been invariably the large number of these calling thennelves Christians, but proves her supreme jurisdiction by teaching and, defin ing the exact truth in all matters of doctrines and morals. She shows that her genealogy is not afraid of investigation. She has never had much help from empires, kit.gs or republics; has never been known to sequester their possessions, but has herself been often despoiled by the civil power. Her cathedrals are a prayer in stone; her libraries the collection of all that is wise and de sirable in literature; Imr monaster ies and convents the abode ot charity, benevolence and purity, her schools and universities have always been types of wisdom, w hile her hospitals, her asylums, her clergy and sisterhoods challenge the respect and have gained the veneration of the world. They are standing on the unanswerable argu ments of the fulfillment of Christ’s command to his apostles: ‘Go ye into the whole world, leach and baptize, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever 1 have com manded you.’” VIEWS OF THE COLORED . PRESS. While we are intensely Republi can, we do not hesitate to say tha Governor Gordon will make th< state the same conservative Gov ernor that Gov. Alexander H. Stephens did. God save the Gov ernor and let his reign be a pros perous one. Atlanta Defiance. The colored vote will be divided in 1888, as it ought to l>e. Tin war brought about real emancipa tion; it did not transfer the ow ner hip of the colored people from tin -biveholder to any politicd party Until the Negro exercises his judg ment and entertains different view on pnbli * men and measures, In citizenship will remain a qnestioi for debate.—Southern Leader . Jackson villa. the g'Owing spirit of politica independence, which of late show itself through our colored ex changes in advocating bro der ano higher views of political manhooo lor the iace, are strong indications n| the solid progress which we an making politically.
