Mr. liorie’s sermon Sun day evening, from Genesis, page Xlll—chapter Xll—God calleth Abram, and blesseth him with a promise of Christ— etc., was interesting and in structive to responsibilities of the Christian’s duties. The congregation, though not large, was, seemingly,pleased in hav ing come out to hear such an able sermon. From scriptural inference, the life of Abraham was cer tainly a marked one in pa- tience, hope, faith and courage. As an exemplified Christian, he could have been nothing less. While temptations and pleas ures may have been greater er, they could have been noth ing less than to-day. Telegraphic. Gainesville, (la., Jan.4—At Pine Mountain, in the Mocca sin district.
