To those who know Dr. Hawthorne
it is needloss to say that the sermon
was one of eloquence, as well as of
beautiful word-painting. L’arioso
has had within its walls some grand
histrionic talent, but never did its
stage sustain a more perfect, a more
impassioned, or a more earnest actor
than yesterday, when the Doctor, in

METHODIST CHURCH.
Hero was assembled a very large
congregation, for it was known that
Dr. H. H. Tucker would preach,
which meant a rich treat in store.—
After an opening piece by tho choir,
Dr. Tucker announced that grand
old hymn, “Ail Hail the Power of Je
sus’ Name” (eminent men will al
ways use these sweet old hymns * 1 ),
Which was taken up by theVhole
congregation with a burst of praise
seldom excelled. After the reading
of the morning lesson Dr. Tucker led
tho congregation in one of the most
comprehensive prayers ever listened
to. He then announced his subject,
‘Truth the Aiiinentof the Soul,” se
lecting os his text, Mat. iv, 4, “Man
shall not live by bread alone, but by,
every word that proceedeth out of
tho mouth of God.”
For three quarters of an hour the
learned divine held his audience
spell bound. He spoke of the food
of the body, its nature and effect, but
said tbe soul required a different kind
of food. Tbe food of the body was
taken through the mouth, but tbe
food of tbe soul camo through the
mind. The life of tbo man is tbo
soul, and truth is the food of tbe
soul. Truth, as an aliment for the
soul, is delicious; It is infinite in va
riety. It nover satiates, bnt tho

^ THE MEMORIAL 8ERVICE.
Tjie evening at the Baptist church
was devoted to a memorial service,
the memory of two of tho greatest
enoftbe denomination, men who
itciodinthe front ranks, men who
Patrick H. Mell and Dr. Jesse H.
Campbell,both of whom have “passed
over the river” sitice the last Con
vention. It was a meeting of tbs
greatest interest to eveay Baptist,
and especially those who knew them
so well and long, and bad been so in
timately acquainted with them. The
congregation that assembled em-
broced also many beyond the limits
of that demonination, for especially
in the case of Dr. Mell, his long
connection with the high educa
tional institutions of tho State,
had made him known a¥d loved
from tbe mountain to the sea. Hun
dreds, yen, thousands, havo sat be
neath his teachings and it was d
pleasure to listen while the speakers
dwelt upon his virtues and paid lov
ing tributes to bis memory.
The meeting was opened by prayer
by Dr. Battle, who implored the as
sistance of the divine spirit that all
might appropriately do honor to men
so good and true, and that tho influ
ence of their lives should live forever.
Dr J. G. Ryals presided over the
meeting, and after stating the aim of
same, he said that several speakers
had been selected, who should each
tell of somo certain period in the
lives of those great men, as they were
best acquainted therewith. The first
speaker Rev. Mr. Horne, who should
mention ' particularly his boyhood
days, had beed unavoidably called
away but had left on' paper a
few facts; which were read by the
Chairman, showing, in substance,
that Dr. Mell was born in Waltbour-
viltc, Liberty county. At an early
age ho was left without parents, and
without any support or means of ob
taining that which he seemed most
earnestly to desire—a tborongb edu
cation. He applied himself; howev
er, to aid himself at best he might,
and at last attracted the attention of
Mr. G. W. W^thow, who tendered
him a scholarship in Amherst Col
lege, Mass. This offer was gratefal
ly accepted, but at end of first year
young Moll declined any further as
sistance, believing that he should
work his own way. He supported
himself by teaching small schools
for soine time. Here Mr. Horse’s
notes gave out, hut Dr. Rysls was
able to take up the story, having be
come acquainted with him 'as a
scholar in Tattnall county. Dr. Melt
shortly ’after accepted s-position at
Oxford, from which he .went to Mer
cer University as professor of Greek
and Latin. .-,
Dr. McCall, by request of jhe. chair,
here took the floor. Having been, st
that time a Btudoht of Mercflr, then,
located at Penfleld, the spe’aker was
able to testify ftom personal knowl
edge of him as an educator and dis
ciplinarian, which he did in a man
ner that showed him impressed with
the many virtues of the great man.—
He also spoke of that other great
leader, Jesse Campbell, a pure man,
a man with strong convictions of
right and wrong, and who dared ex-,
press them at all times,
Dr. McIntosh was next called to
‘speak of Campbell’s esrly hlstory.—
fib, too, was born in Liberty county
—that cradle of great men—in old
Sunbury, then a flourishing town,
now emphatically one of the “dead .
towns of Georgia.” Here he waa
educated and begun a career of so
much usefulness that his name will
ever Ufa in the history of his ohnrch
and his State.
Mr. Thomas, of Athens, having
been intimately acquainted with him
during his long residence in that
city, spoke on. his life there and his
connection with tho StAte University.
He deplored his weakness and ina
bility, he said, to pay ,im appropriate

good man; such a than as does the
world good for having ‘lived in it .
In Athens ho wsb known and beloved,
by everyone, from the highest to tbe
lowest, ftom the richest to the poor- -
eat He was welcomed to the palace*
of luxury and the hovel of poverty.
In the University he enjoyed the
highest confidence of* tbe trustees
and at tbe same time the perfect re- :
speet and love of tbe pupils.
Dr. Battle alluded-briefly to hi*
connection with the Baptist Conven
tion, of which he was for twenty-five -
years the President. and also the 1
Southern Baptist Convention, over
whose deliberations he ruted for fif
teen years. He was permanently fit
ted by nature and education to be a
leader among men.
Mr. Bernard, of Ath«ie,dweU upon
the cibsing scenes of his life; his last
illness, etc., which took place ao late

and what was his chief desire. Na

words: “Head of the army,” so Mell
by his last utterance followed up the
great' end and aim of his life,' to
make men better • qnd nobler, and to
strive for higher things.
The meeting was closed* by one ;
veree of that grand old hymn, “How
firm a Foundation,” and the benedic
tion. : *
