YESTERDAY IN THE CHURCHES.
The pulpits in all the city
churches were filled by Methodist
Ministers, and ably so. It was a
beautiful day, and immense con
gregations filled all the churches.
Owing to the crowded condition
of onr space, only a few can be
mentioned.
At the Baptist church in the
morning Dr. Stradly, of Augusta,
preached a magnificent and schol
arly address upon the mysteries of
the sea as related to that of the
human life. It was a beautiful and
eloquent address, and was so pro.
nounced by all of the vast au
dience. At night Dr. Walker Lew
is, of Atlanta, delivered a grand
sermon on the process and end of
redemption. Both of these minis
ters stand high in the church in
the esteem of the people.
At the First Methodist, Bishop
A. G. Haygood preached in the
morning to as many people as
could crowd into the church. It
was a deep and touching address.
He conducted the services of or
dination on the ministers applying
for deacon's orders. At night the
large church was again crowded to
suffocation to hear Dr. Warren A.
Candler, of Oxford, one of the
ablest men in the South.
It was a remarkable scene enacted
here. His address was so feeling
and emotional that his voice failed
him many times, and at last he was
so overcome that hewae compelled

Simon Peter Richardson deliver
ed a splendid eermon. He preach
ed upon his past and experience as
a minister of the gospel. He was
born in Newberry 8. C., May 30,
1818.
He said he had never known the
teste of any kind of intoxicating
liquors, was never in a theatre or
house of ill fame and never went
to but one circus. He said he Had
been converted about 100 times and
that the Methodist church had
joined him a-< well as he the churcl « '
Said he joined the Methodist
cbotcb in 1838 and joined all over
He was licened to preach in
1839 and has been preaching for £4
years. His I'iirst appointment «r s
in Telfair circuit. Oa cir
cuit he had a hard time. Tie larg
est congregation be had was 13.
No one asked bim to go home with
them —he just went.
One time he was reported dead
and they held a great memorial
service at Richardson’s camp
ground, and the papers all pub
lished his funeral notice. Some
time after he met rhe preacher who
I reached his funeral and that as
tonished man said: ‘‘My, Richard
son, aint you dead yet? I preached
your funeral sermon three weeks
k ago.”
He has been a presiding elder
22 years and just 18 years ago ar
rived in Rome. The weather was
cold and he said his reception was
even colder.
He spoke of the tendency of
many to shout before the proper
time. He recalled an incident
coming under his notice. He had
given out a hymn and a good
brother commenced shouting. Af
ter the service he went to the man
and told him he shouted before
the proper time.
“Yes,” said the man, “maybe I
did, but I depend on the Lord for
my cue and not you.”
Since that time he had not med
dled in such affairs. His sermon
was replete with commingled hu
mor and pathos, and held the un
divided attention of the large au-
dience. He is a noble Christrii
gentleman and is much beloved by
everybody.
Rev W. S. Quillian preached

By accident his decomposed body
was found underneath grass and
fallen corn. There was no evidence
