A ?nett?
At the concludion of Dr. Fricrson? prayer.
Kev. Mr. Bell gave out another hymn ap
propriate to the occasion, which was sung
* ?P BPod effect by the congregation.
Ur. Oirardeau then arose and proceeded
lo the delivery of tho Dedicatory Sermon,
announcing as his text the 20th verse o? the
otb chapter of 2nd Corinthians, "Now then
w? are ambassadors for Christ." Ac. We
regret our inability to present our readers
with the full text of the discourse, but its
length even If we possessed it, would pre
clude that. The sermon was one of extra
ordinary power and thought, and it In
volved the discussion of themes of trans
cendant importance. It held the entire
audience of 800 people suspended with pro
found attention during the whole time of
{ts delivery, which occupied exactly one
nour and thirty-ono minutes. It would be
impossible to convey an adequate idea of
tue eloquence of the discourse even if every
'ii i?f il cou,d bc transferred to paper,
t uc eloquent and deeply impressive action
or the speaker, the shrill blasts of empha
sis which rang through the room, thrilling
every hearer, the mounting climaxes ol
thought, the profound fervor and emotion
expressed in his countenance and tones
must all be left in thc meuiorv of those
w,'? were so fortunate as to hear'him.
The sermon opened with a brief prologue,
touching the forms and eireui/ufaur? o? re
ligious worship, in which, in well-chosen
terms, he emphasized the acknowledged
superiority of an "intense and severe" sim
1'ltctty, both in architectural display or thc
imposing solemnities of sacerdotalism.
Here the speaker alluded in most appropri
ate terms to the edifice in which ho wai
speaking, bestowing a very heartv commen
dation upon its fitness, elegance and sim
plicity ; and turning to thc ministers of th?
different denominations seated upon th?
platform noted the beauty of Christian eon
cord, and quoted from the 188d Psalm
'.flow good and how pleasant it is fa
brethren to dwell together in unity !"
The sermon proper was replete with orig
mal and instructive thought throughout
touching, first, the abuses and (finita of tin
ministerial office. It is an embassy. A
such it limits the minister to his instructions
Aa ambassador he cannot utilize the pulpi
to nut forth Ail oun theological or philo
sophieal opinions; much less can he intro
?luce into his preaching any other mattel
civil or literary, except so far as it is strict!
subordinated to his message. The term? o
that embassy centralize in tho fact that it i
a ministry ol reconciliation. This suppose
alienation, enmity between the partie
llere the preacher exposed and repudiate
all humanitarian theories of thc huma
case on the one hand or of the mercies o
Deity on the other. It was an exigency t
be met only by the Atonement, involvin
in its fitness for the caso a penal death. I
could not be the death of a man, it coul
not be an angel or Cod. It was a God-mat
thc one to support the other in suffering
In His case thc whole of human guilt an
suffering was condensed into two hours.
Without that atonement man's incapacit
to bear mudo his penal suffering eterna
Thrown upon man In its full force it woul
extinguish his being. This part of tho dil
rourse was especially grand, new and in
I ?ressi ve.
After the matter of the embassy, iii
mode and urgency of its application wi
considered.
We fail to convey thc preachers' ow
deep emotion and pathos m making tl
appeal of the text to the audience befo:
him. Drawing his analogy from tl
Prophet that addressed the Altar of Jer
boam, saying, "O, Altar, Altar !" he mat
a sublime and touching metonymy of tl
pulpit before bim, addressing it, "O, Pu
jiit ?" and charging it to cry out in witne
if ought but the Gospel truth be preschet
ind drawing upon Habbakuk's words ]
luid a solemn responsibility of protest np?
:he edifice, calling upon thc stone to c
jut of the wall and the beam from its tic
lera to answer it if error be proclaim
here.
The whole sermon was profoundly i
itructive and deeply impressive, and tl
community will not soon forget thc priv
ege of the hour.
At thc conclusion of the sermon, Ki
Ur. Bell led the congregation in pray'
it the close of which Dr. Frierson read t
ollowing brief history of the Presbyter!)
.'burch at this place:
Thc Presbyterian Church of Anders
vas organized on tho 22d September, 1837
14 years ago-with a membership of 13 pi
otis, presenting their certificates from Ile
Tts, Hopewell, (Keowce.) V?rennos a
?road.i vay churches. Its first Elders wi
loscph N. Whitner and John P. Holt,
irst Pastor was Rev. Edwin Cuter, yet 1:
ng, in Florida. He was succeeded by R
J. \V. Martin, who, in feeble health, ofli
ited only a few months and retired. >
llartin was succeeded by Rev. B. M. Palm
J. D., now of New Orleans, then a Ha
iate from tho Seminary in Columbia, 1
ivho officiated only two months, bei
ailed to the First Chi?-ch of Sn van m
ir. Palmer was succeeded by tho R
David Humphreys, whose pastorate e
inued 8 years. He waa succeeded by R
t. II. Reid, of Spartanburg, who remaii
I years. r. Reid was succeeded lny R
V. A. Morse, whose pastorate continue
rears. He was succeeded by Rev. D.
LaFar, who officiated one year. Mr. La
vas succeeded by the Rev. W. H. Strati
icentiate from the Seminary. His pasl
ile continued 5 years. Mr. Stratton
ucceeded by the present pastor, whose ]
orate has run ll years.
Two vears after the organization, Mai
839, a" neat church building. 60x40 1
was erected 50 yards in the rear of
milding, and dedicated by Rev. A.
itoss. Three years ogo that building
old for $285, and the money opproprii
o this building.
In 1878, four years ago, the enterpris
?recting a new church was proposed <
notion of tho Session calling a nicctin
he congregation to consider it. At
ueeting a committee of subscriptions
ippointed, which soon reported $4,000
.cribed, on which basis it was determ
inanimously to commence tho work,
his end a building committee was or
zed, consisting of Gen. W. W. Humph]
.hairman, G. F. Tolly, B. F. Whitner
\i. L. Sharpe and 8. M. Crayton. '
:ommittee have now completed their w
rom a design of Architect W. P. Russe
Charleston, and. have presented it tc
ongregation to bo dedicated to God
lay. ft has been reared at a cost of 87
Tho corner stone was laid on the 10
day, 1870, with appropriate cererao
ind the finishing touches have been t
luring tho week proccdin;.; this dedie;
ervice. Within tho vault of the a
tone are deposited a tropy of the
(cripturcs, a Confession of Faith o:
Vcsbyterian Church, a manuscript hi
if this Church from its organization,
sining every name that has been eur?
alult and infant, down to tho laying c
:orner stone. There were deposited
?pies of the Southern Presbyterian, And
NT KI. MOEN CUR and Anderson Journal,
'arious individual memorials.
Under the good providence of Go?
milding of this church haa been carrie
rom its beginning to Its close, wit
lightest amount of jarring and dissal
lon. It has been a Bubiect of prayer
ts commencement, and God, whose
?Iver and the gold) wherever deposit?
lisposed the people to liberality and inc
bc kindest regards of our fellow Chrii
if other denominations towards us, a
he favor of all tho citizens of the coi
dty. Wc wish to take this opportun
uprearing our thanks to them for
narked liberality in helping on our ?
?rise.
It is with csptxial satisfaction and th
living to God that we can state that n
einains upon this building, a small ii
dues? that remained having been, i
he past w?ek or ten dayB, assumed
tividual obligationa by tho various
icrs of tho congregation. It is pr?
0 God without encumbrance.
It may be proper to add that thc la'
he congregation have, by their perse
ndustry, contributed more than $500
merion of this building. In addil
his thev have furnished this room w
handeliers, carpet, table and the s
he platform ; that the comer stor
1 resent ?Mi to tho congregation by Mr.
kaufman, of Walhalla, the contrac
his building, and that it was carv
ascribed by Mr. T. M. White, of Am
'ratultously. Tho masonry ot the
ng is the work of Mr. Jeptha F. V
>t Anderson, and much of the i
?onipletion i wood the work of Mr.
Todd, of Anderson.
Rev. Mr. Carlisle then gave out t
lyrun, after the singing of which Dr
leau pronounced the benediction, i
xmgregation dispersed.
The order during thc entire service
iastetl two hours and twenty minul
perfect, thc attention undivided, i
least restlessness wa? not noticeable
time. The occasion was most plea
every respect.
Thc- church building ia a credit
community, and an honor to the R
rian congregation.
Tho 8errl??*? Sunday Nl?l>t,
On Suiulay night Dr. Glrardeau
re picst of s number of our citizen
denominations, preached his celebrated ser
mon on the Judgment Day to a very large
and appreciative audience. The sermon
was conspicuous (or its vivid imagen- and
conception of ti ought, coupled with beau
tiful diction and eloquent delivery.
The entire services of the day w?re must
solemnly interesting and impressive, giving
to those who were present ideas and thoughts
which will be carried through many days to
come as food for beautiful and self-improv
ing contemplation.
The State Normal Institute.
The State Board of Education, which
meets in Columbia next week, will arrange
for thc holding during the month of Au
gust of the State Normal Institute for the
white and colored teachers of the public
schools in this State. Some point in the
lower or middle part of the State will be
selected for the Institute for the colored
teachers, and soi^e point in the upper part
of the State for the one for white teachers.
The Institute two years ago was held at
Spartanburjj. and the ono last ye&rat Oreen
ville, and it occurs to us that the proper
place for the one this year is Anderson.
Wc are pleased to state that our efficient
School Commissioner, Mr. R. W. Todd,
who is ever watchful of our'educational
interests, is now making efforta to ascertain
thc number of persons for whom beean
obtain board in thc city and at what prices,
so that he can lay before the Board when it
meeta next week in proper form on appli
cation from our citizens for the meeting to
be held at thia place. With the assurance
that the number of larsons who will likely
attend the Institute, which will be two or
three hundred, can obtain board at reason
able prices here, wc believe the Board
would select Anderson as the place for the
Institute, for if it is desired to have the
meeting iu tho up-country, surely there is
no place better entitled to" it. The building
of the Collegiate Institute is admirably sit
uated tor such a meeting, and is sufficiently
commodious for all purposes. We are sat
islied that in no respect is Anderson a less
favorable place for the Institute than any
of the other up country towns or cities.
Wc sincerely hope our citizens will fully
realize our opportunity and give the School
Commissioner every encouragement possi
ble in bm efforts to secure tho selection of
Anderson as the.place for the meeting th'a
mummer. The advantages to be derived
from the Institute by our people are indeed
worth considering. The sojourning in our
midst of two or three hundred ladies and
gentlemen for a mouth will put several
thousand dollars into circulation, and com
ing ns they will from every county in the
State, splendid opportunities will be afford
ed for showing to the very best class of our
people tho superior advantages of our coun
ty, which is the garden ."pot of the State.
The very best talent in the whole country
will be employed to conduct thc Institute,
and the advantages in a ii-.erary point of
view that will ensue to all our citizens who
can attend und listen to the lectures, both
day and night, will bc very great. The
good results of thc Institutes held at Spar
tanburg and Greenville are fully realized hy
the citizens of those cities, and they uro
consequently endeavoring to secure the one
this year, and if we would succeed in our
efforts to have it, prompt and decided action
for this end simula bo taken. There is no
time to lose, and we hope none will be lost .
Our citizens, we trust, fully appreciate the
importance of this matter, nnd will not fail
to do all that is their power to achieve so
desirable an end. Every family which can
possibly do so should arrange with the
School Commissioner to take os many
boarders as possible, and to ensure success
the price of board should be put down to
the very lowest notch, graduated in price
according to the number in a room and tho
quality of board. From ten to fifteen dol
lars per month is all that need be expected,
and if our people are not willing to put
prices down to the very lowest notch, we
will not get tho Institute. We need not
expect to make money out of it, for there
are other places which appreciate its advan
tages sufficiently to be satisfied with mod
erate financial compensation. Anderson
should put prices down ami offer equal ad
vantages with other places, and then she
will besucce-sful in her invitation.
Cull for a l'ubllc Meeting thlt? livening.
