the skUMftP
Sunday morning by Rev. G. B.
Strickler, D. D., of Atlanta, was the
opening of the programme. A large
ana cultivated audience gathered
in Arcade Hall at 11 o’clock, there
being no services in any of thp
churcheJif according to custom.
The text was chosen from the 113
Psalm, IS v: “Open thou mine eyes,
that I may behold wondrous things
out of thy law.” The distinguished
divine called attention’ to the fact
that this is a remarkable psalm, be
cause of its length, its artistic con
nection, the matter of which it is
composed and the design for which
it was intended.
Under the first division of text, he
spoke of God’s law and its claims.
The next point discussed had ref
erence to our spiritual blindness.
To the carnal mind there is no beau
ty in the Scriptures. The natural
man receiveth not the things of the
Spirit of God, and our prayer should
be that of the Psalmist, “Open Thou
mine eyes.'*
The “wondrous things” in God’s
law were tenderly and beautifully
portrayed in the third division. The
Scriptures treat of many great and
glorious things, and the preacher
could only briefly mention some of
them, viz: The existence of God, the
Trinity, the creation of the universe
by the mere word of God, the omni
presence of Godj the incarnation,
which formed that mysterious and
perfect union between God and
man, the scheme of salvation, by
which is obtained pardon of sins,
regeneration of nature, adoption
and process of sanctification.
At the close, many reasons were
enumerated why the Scriptures
should be diligently studied, reveal
ing a fullness and richness beyond
all other books.
MONDAY.
The programme is so fall and the
measure of excellence so even, that
we dare not draw any distinctions.
At the appointed hour and keep
ing step to the Opening March, by
Prof. Kelir, the freshmans and
sophomores marched in and ar
ranged themselves upon the stage.

Kehr, and a song, the recitations be

upon the blackboard, which were
well read and then admirably pars
ed by them.

J. C. REGISTER,
At a meeting of the City council
of Columbus last week it was agreed
that thestockof the city in th**
Mobile and Girard railroad should
be given to the Georgia Midland
road. The stock amounts to about
$200,000, worth from eight to ten
cents on the dollar. We under
stand this stock to be given to the
Midland, or exchanged for its stock
when the cars are running from
Columbus to Atlanta. Friends of
the enterprise claim that the road
will be built in the course of the
next four or five years. As yet
nothing has been done except to run
a preliminary survey and secure the
right of way.
Bev.Dr. Strickler preached an ex
cellent and touching sermon at the
Baptist church Sunday night on
Pontius Pilate, who sat in judg
ment at the trial of Jesus. Pilate’s
interrogatory, “What will you do
with Jesus TV was forcibly applied
to the unrepentant sinner.

The Washington Post publishes
the following interview with Minis
ter West regarding the defeat - of
Mr. Gladstone:
“I do not think it would be possi
ble for the Conservatives to take the
reins of Government now,” said Mr.
West. “You see with us the party -'.'
in power must have a majority in
Parliament. At present the Liber
als have a majority, and therefore
the Conservatives in taking con
trol would have to rely upon some
of their opponents to support them'
in order to obtain the necessary
majority. Of course no party Woo’d
go in on these terms, or if it . did
it would just assume control end
would dissolve the Parliament and
take its chances on the general
elections. This, however, I do not
think could be done at this stage
of the session, because public busi
ness has not yet been reached. For
these reasons I expect the Liberals
will carry on the Government to
the end of the session, so as to finish
up the business, and then dissolve.”
“Do you think the ehange of Gov
ernment will affect the Russian im
broglio at all ?”
“I do not see how it will, for no
Government can come in and Dot’s
all at once what its predecessor has
done.”
