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 the livery of heaven, wa. so eloquent ly and bo forcibly portraying the im- portanceof his grand theme, “Watch, for ye know not the day nor the hour.” 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 more wo drink tbo more wo want, and I the Convention. Ho took for his I theme, “Solemn cheerfulness.” He I kept his audience alternating between [tears and laughter, and when he sat Sown a pang of regret passed over |tho assembled multitude. ^ 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 j was a great man, a grand man, a 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.
