DEDICATION HYMN.
Dedicated to the Conyers Presby
terian Church.
BY SIDNEY HERBERT.
Up to Thy Courts, O, God of grace,
We come to seek T y bi essed face ;
Thy face that glows with love divine
lor all whom Thou hast marked as Thine.
Here in this Church of man’s device,
Where sin can still our souls entice,
We need Thy presense in our hearts,
Through the rich grace Thy love imparts,
O consecrate our souls, os well
As walls, and tower aad sounding bell,
That to Thy service here are given,
To aid in teaching men of Heaven.
No sounding bell, no tower so high
Can save a soul that’s doomed to die ;
Nor can this service give to these
Power to bend in faith our knees.
Our bouls, our hearts, our purest love.
All must abide in God above ;
Then shall this Church most truly be
A house in which to worship Thee.
Then with foundations broad and deep,
The living Church its walls shall keep.
As Thou hast kept the walls of Zion,
Stronger than stone, or brass ox iron.
Presbyterian Church—Dr. Irvine.
As we have stated elsewhere in tin
issue, the new Presbyterian church in
Conyers has been finished, and is now
being used for the purposes for which it
was built. The dedication serin >n was
preached on hist Sabbath by Rev. Rob
ert Irvine, D. D., of Augusta, Ga,
The Blh ohnptir ot Ist Kings was
read ns the scriptural or dedication less
on. An appropriate and fervent prayer
was offered by Dr. Frazer, of Decatur.
The text from which the noted, lent non
and eloquent divine preached the dedica
tion sermon, was the 12th verse of *lst
chapter of Ist Corinthians, which leads :
‘•Now this I say, that every one cf you
saith, lam ot Paul; and lam otu Apol
los; and lam of Cephas ; and I am of
Christ." The speaker pictured the dif
ferent parties named, and showed how
vain and foolish it was to follow anyone
but the nio 'k and lowly Saviour. Grace
is from on high. “Paul may plant and
Apollos water, but God giveth the in
crease." The powers and the gifts ot
the man must be hid by the Cross, A
saint may pray for a sinner, but a sinner
must pray tor himself.”
lie preached four sermons while here.
On Sunday night from this text: “l'ln
fervent effectual prayer of a righteous
man availeth much,” lie said a right
eous man was one quickened by the
spirit of God ; by grace from on high.
All others are unrighteous.
His picture of the drought and deso
lation iu the time of Elijah—when In
prayed that it might not rain, and it
rained not tot the space of three 'years
and six months. How lie prayed again
and it rained, and the earth brought
fruit, and man and beast were gladdened
—was portrayed with a power that was
sublime, and a pathos that was touching
ly tender and -adly beautiful; convincing
his hearers ot the power and efficacy el
prayer.
All of his sermons here were marked
by the same strength of thought, force,
of diction and beauty of expieasion
as those we have named. They show
the learning, eloquence, fervor, piety,
strength ot mind atul liberal ciivisliat
spirit ot the man who loses sight of self
white keeping the cross in view. We
are.unable to give even a synopsis of his
remarks.
Dr. Frazer preached on Tuesday night
a very able sermon from this text:
“Make me as one ot thy hired servants.’’
Rev. Mr. Morton has been in attend
ance also on the meeting.
Our people were so well pleased wi ll
Dr. Irvine, that we hope lie will find it
convenient to visit Conyers often ard
preach to us.
A Southern Enterprise.
We to day insert the advertisement
ot Wm Ktia’be & Go., and dip the fol
iowing from Hie New York tribune:
