ATHENS BANNER TUESDAi MOB KING DECEMBER 20, i«S2 ■mSi SUNDAY IN ATHENS- SERVICES HELD THROUGHOUT THE CITY. DR. L.R. GWALTNEY Delivers an Impressive Sermon to Young Men at the Baptist Church In the Morning. Sunday was an ideal December day, clear and fair. The bright sun and blue sky had the effect to fill our streets with morning worshippers, and the various churches were crowded with attentive listeners. * Kev. L. R. Gwaltney, D. D., preach ed a powerful sermon to young men— one of a series which he intends to give at the First B.ptist church. The church was crowded and the number of young men present was conspicu ous. The Doctor took for his text, Proverbs iii, C : “In all thy ways ac knowledge Ilim, and He shall direct thy paths.” He showed the emptiness of the argument against the providence and personality of God, arguiDg that if there is no God and no providence, then why does the question of it come to the life of every man, and if He is not personal, why do we feel our responsi bility to Him ? If He is, then He is all powerful, and if He is personal, then the small things of cur lives are as im portant to him as the great things.— Alan proposes, but God disposes. Sa cred history, profane, history and ex perience tells us that He guides all things, anu guides all for the best. It seemed a small thing in history when Mordecai refused to bow down to Hainan, but it was the cause of an im portant change iu the history of Israel. It seemed a small, but it was an impor tant event in the history of Christiani ty, when Paul was taken to Anlipatri’s and escaped the Jews who laid in wait to kill him. Was it a little thing that one of the passer gers who was going on the ships that left England, cairying the people who were seeking a home where they could have religious free dom, who was detained by the order of King Charles should have been Crom well, who certainly played no small part in England’s history? A.11 these things tell ub that an infi nite Gcd is over-ruling all things, and that little things are as important to Him as the great. Can we dare to be indifferent when we know 7 his power nnd His omnipo tence. Young man, you are in peril. There lies in the path that every one of you must w&lk trials, temptations, dMllculties, and, if you are no) depending on the power and gu'dahee of God, you are liable to be overthrown by them. I have known young men who, because they have been indiffer ent to the power and guidance of God, have been most wretched failures in life; and 1 have known young men who, because' they had donerded on God’s power and guidance, although surrounded by disadvantages, have crowned their lives with success. Your borne training may have been unwise and injudicious, and you may be sur rounded by many difficulties, but that is all the more re»son why ycu should endeavor to cling to Him, and seek His benediction, His presence and His peace. The story is told of a party of men who went out to kill a tiger, and on be ing asked on their return if they had killed him they said, “No, but we have killed a wasp!” Young men, don’t think you have overcome all your difficulties whenyou have killed the wasp of some small hab it and have left the tiger of the appe tites ef your body and the passions of your mind ungoverned and unchecked OC NEK STREET CHURCH. Although it was not known until the last moui nt that there would be ser vices at the Oconee Street Methodist church, quite a number wereout in the morning Rev. T. O Rorie, who stated that he bad agreed to fill the duties cf the charge here until Rev. Mr England arrived, undertook to show from 1st Cor. i, 30, “But of Him are ye in Christ Tn blreerho of God is made unto us 'Th«cuom, and righteousness, and sancti fication, and redemption,” the true re lation that existed in the different works of grace declared in the text. AT THE PRK;ItYTERIAN. A good audience greeted Rev, C. W Lane at the First Presbyterian churob Dr. Lane preached an expository ser mon from the 8th chapter of Hebrews, and in his usual and eloquent manner drew several interesting and practical lessons from it. Two persons were re ceived with church fellowship. At the close of the regular service a church meeting was held to raise funds for the expenses of the current year. THE FIRST MRTHfDIVT. Rt-vfJ. B. Hunnicutt preached at the First Methodist church. The sermon was on ‘‘Heart Purity.” The abhor- ence of ain in (he sight of God. The deplorable effect of it upon man. God’s commandments to us to live pure lives aud the grace and strength He offers to support us. The church was crowded with attentive listeners snd many re marks were heard at the close of the service upon tho marked power and truth of the sermon. Rev. J. C. Davis, rector of Etnan uei Episcopal church, preaohed from the text in St. Luke, xxl, 24: “And they shall fall by the edge of tbe sword, and led away captive into all nations I’Jerusalem shall be trodden down of Gentiles until tbe time of tbe Gen- bo fulfilled.” Tbe sermon was full propbetioo-nistorlcal character, and larch and study. V. M. C. A. Everyone Who attended the meeting at 3 .30 p. in. at the V. M pleasant surprise at the special intorest.j of I he service. Mr. W. T. Cowles sdlresfed the meeting, taking for bis subj ect ‘‘Trees 7 ” The young orator, after speaking of the memories awakened by tbe thought of heme on those children of nature that then surrounded him and brought so many recolleotioni, proceeded to draw lessons from tbe lives and condi tions of those children of the forest and friends of home, “Trees.” The tree that was rotten at the top reminds of the men who with talent aud good qualities are spoiled by pride and conceit. The trees with the hollow and rotten trunk are the men who make a good appearance in public, but whose home and domestic relations are shameful, and the tree which was rottenjat the root are the men who are planted in some other soil and are nourished by some other water than that of Christ and His church.

She was one of those old-time darkies, who are gettiug r tther scarce now, one cf the olu slave time negroes. Julia belonged to tbe late Ferdinand Phinizj 7 , and bef <re the war conceived tbe idea that she would buy her free dom. She agreed with her master upon the price of berr. freedom and set to rk to make the money. * The last payment was made in the fall of 1SG1, only a few months before the Emancipation Proclamation, and the old npgro woman wa9 free. She always liked hrr master and bis children. As an evidence of her dv tion to them, it turns out ’hat tbe old negro left her ssvirgs to Mr. Marion Phinizy, to whom sbe was greatly at tached.

They further state that at Mr. Cleveland's re quest the club will send a' letter of re gret or agology to the speaker. The incident has brought to the front the strong Crisp element in congress.

They elairn also that there are new elements of opposi tion.

Its com plete ascendency has just been reached. It has issued orders to the employes of the Associated Press that tbeir services will be dispensed with after thirty days. The limit is given them in which to make new business arrangements. A good many of them wall probably be employed by the United Press in its enlarged capacity. Both press associa tions decline to discuss the matter. The United people don’t deny the truth of the report, but they prefer that the pther side shall give ont the news. .

The Prohibition BUI Passes the House Columbia, S C., D c:ciber 13 —Th voluminous stringent prohibition bill passed its third reading in the bouse this morning and tbe senate will now have to struggle with it. The general impression is that the senate will not pass it. Tho bill prohibits the sale of liquor, sire for medical, scientific and sacra mental purposes—and for these pur poses dispensaries shall be establisbid at tbe county seat of each county, and four in Charleston. The sales to these dispensaries shall be made by a state commissioner, who shall purchase all the liquor bought for a se in state and sell to their only dispen saries.

Newport, Ark., Dec. 12.—The killing of the negro preacher, Lightfoot, by a mob of the men he swindled, i3 the only topic discussed by the negroes .of this county. Lightfoot’s bullet-riddled body was viewed'in the field where it fell by hundreds of his dupes, not one of whom could be induced to touch or bury it. From some of the members of the cir cle it was learned that he claimed to have been commissioned by Queen Vic toria to lead his race back to Africa. To others he said that the English gov ernment was going into the cotton farming business in India, and wanted the skilled negro cotton farmers of the United States. The wages they would get were fabulous. To those he said that the talk of goin^ to Africa was a blind in order to deceive the whole peo ple of the south. Now that the fraud has been exposed the negroes themselves are wondering fiow they could have been deceived into sacrificing all their lands, mole?, farm Implements and everything, inclnding household furniture, oa the advice of a stranger. No less than one hundred families in one section of this country are at charity’s door. The farmars on whose plantations they lived have mad* other arrangements and will take pos session of their homes in a few days. The white people advised cantion and pleaded with the negroes not to place any confidence in what Lightfoot said, but to no avail. To the negroes Light foot*8 person was sacred, for he wa- their Moses sent to lead them back ti the land of their forefathers. safe breaking. The Burglar Gets In His Work at Wat kln8ViUa.
