Perhaps Atlanta has indulged in more Stuff and sentimental nonsense over the ; ) /' 'death of General Grant, than anv other * * "Southern community. Rut it has refnr n Georgian, a Doctor soine||jp to cap the climax of absurdity proposing that & dual monument ^^T'-.b?S erected[ to ,Lee and Grant. Could anything be more rtujculous ? Could any two bo found moro dissimilar in character, in thought, in life, or in ' ' death than these two whose names are r'? proposed to be commemorated by a joint monument. The proper eulogy of the one would be wholly inapplicable lo the other. And the fulsome praise ??f the one would be utterly incompatible with the memory of the other. On Virginia soil, under I he eaves of the institute of learning, whore the great and good Leo spent the last years of his life in dignified rotirement, leading and forming the minds of youths, a loving and grateful people- have; raised a marble shaft to his name. The poeple of tho North will not do less , f6r General Grant. Let those Southem men, like the Goorgia l)octor, who ' _* 'desire.to contribute to that end, do so, there is no objection to it.

It does not need that we go begging that honors be * '4lidone to the name of our iuimortal hero.

The House of Gel : V - THE DEDICATION OF THE 'NEW METHODIST CHUNCH AT < lAJnilUCSTliiliKt ^Eloquent Sermon by Rev. A. Coke jv,., Smith--Description of the Church ??Large Congregation. ' Up to the present time the Methodist ""'iof the town of L'owndesville have always worshipped at Smyrna Church situated about two miles out of town. Realizing that the Savannah Valley Railroad, when completed would most likely cause the place to incicase large' Jy, and recognizing the inconvenience which would result from the chureh being go far retnoved from the town, the (fon^regatioh determined; Inst fall to 1 Jiayfe the church moved, and at the sumo time enlarged and remodeled. Their ' efforts have been crownbd with suefeosfc and On last sutfday the congregation, together' with visitors ~ from the country /or miles arouml assembled, to see thd : '\cdi Bee set: apart fbr the worship of . God. " The church Was crowded to iu utmost capacity, chairs being put up the aisles, and even * the cushion around, tho altar being called into requisition. There were ai'least four hundred persons in the congregation. The building committee de8 orves great credit for the excellent manner in which Ihey had things arranged. '.Ushers im'tthe members of the congregation at the door. Mid with groat skill succeeded in sOatins* the most of them. The unborn j*'ere Messrs J B Franks, K W Har* ... , per. Arthur I^atimer and 1>: L Barnes The services commenced at 11 o'clock, by the choir rendering in tl?.e style that beautiful anthem, "Glory to God in-the highest." Tho choir was lead on the ovjran by Miss Minnio Baker, , The pulpit was-occupied by. Rev A j Coke Smith and the pastor Rev M L ^ Banks. Mr Smith gave out as the lirst gjW bym, tho 784th commencing "Behold thy temple God-of Grace.!' | 7 After the singing of this hymn a most M fervont prayer was -offered by Mr Smith g invoking thtfblessiugs of Almighty God, f ..upon the work of his *. servants -and f 'pravihg that He Would specially .guard (hia hla hnnaA <vf ?...V ; .WWV.V. 4 IIUUI ..PIJ harm, an$ that thn Lruth and onlj <be troth might bo jjroclainiad from IV sacrod desk. Th'6 vhole prayer in " fret , was a beontifdl and comprehensive one, a - 1/ . chapter of Genesis, beginning at the 10 verse, and from the 10th. chapter of Hebrows, beginning at the 14th verse. The byran, beginning "All hail the power of Jesus name," was then sung, the whole congregation joining in tho song. ? ; " . Mr Stnith took for his text that por*tion of Scripture found in tho 3d chapter of I'hilHppiana, from the 5th to the 11th versus inclusive, which read as follows : _ . . "5th. Let this mind be in you, which wim also in Christ Jesus : "6th. Who. being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with Uotl : "7 th. But in ado himself of no reputation, and took upon him the-.form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of man. "8th. And being formed ip fashion as man, ho humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death oi the cross : "9th. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name : "10th. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, or things in heaven and things in the earth, and under the earth : ??1T?k Ami tlmf nviirv Inntriin alinnlil confess tli*t J chum Christ is Lord,-.to the glory of God the Father." The speaker started out by saying, redemption was not an afterthought with the Almighty. Such an assumption was contrary to all our ideas of a God. Tc admit it, wo would have to acknowledge that (Sod had been outwitted by Satan, and to aSfnit that he hud been once outwitted wiiM to acknowledge there was no security, in heaven itself. God being onniscient, had all history within his divine view, when creation was begun. '"The Lamb was slain from the founda tion of the world." This by no means implicates God in the guilt of man's sin, sin from it very nature is the transgression of the law ol God. If man was not responsible for his act there could be no transgression. No attribute of divine character suffers detriment , from anything decreed, God'p government shows its strength in its dealing with transgressions. All thfs was in full view when man was created. It was done for God's glory. the return would justify the outlay. This brings 1110 now, to the natural division, as I conceive it. of lny text. U divides itself into two main heads: hirst. Ghrist's humiliation, or the costly price of man's rederotion. Second. Christ's exaltation, or the glorious result of redemption's work.'"" In arriving at a proper appreciation "of Christ's humiliation, we must first inquire into the heinousness of sin.- Mere acts of transgression give us no idea o( sin. The sin consists in the spirit,which prompts tlic acts; the alienation o'f the heart from God. Acts of sin are only the expression of the heart. If sin was not from the heart, and consisted merely in outward acts pralysis would be rcliffion'. Sin from its very nature was teontrary to what we know of the Divine Being and the question presents itself could God have dealt otherwise with sin than he did ? Could He grant unniversal pardon by the exercise of his prerogative ? This is what some would have us to suppose. But does tho mere remittanco of the penalty do away with the guilt ? The remittance of the penalty is but a small part of redemption. The heart must be made anew, and brought, back to God. And the question Was" how was that to bo done. It could not be done by power, for man i*s so created as to to resist power, even when he is subdued by it. Ambition and cruelty too, danco attundarjse upon power.' Mr Smith then went onto show that endowing man with wisdom, could not save him. H? gained knowledge .V* eating Xhe forhidden-fruity but'sm wan an Itlendant thereon. Christ's coming as a^ worldly King would not have saved mari'." lie could have manifested his power on mo cross, nut it wnsneccessary to man's salvation that Christ should come as a man in order that herlnight hnvc a sense of man's personality, nnd for man to have a full realization of His sympathy. Speaking of the sufferingol Christ, Mr Smith, said it was not noccessary to merely slut the the Father's cruelty, to satiate his thirst for blood, Ho had no ^sympathy with anj' such idea. If such nnd been necessary would the Father have had yellings Jew? ami scoffing Roman soldiers officiating as Iligh Priests at his altar ? The speaker then took up the significance of the atonement, and showed thit .Jesus suffered on nccount ot sin ; s'.n was the foundation of all his suffering, brought him to tlie Cross, and put ?ipon him the crown of thorns. That sin was in all of us, and that therefore he died for all of us, and his suffering for >iu was in pioporlion to his love for the sinner. That love wa* unniversal and hence ? ilvaiinn wa* possible to all. The second division of his subject, viz. Chrst's exultation was then briefly touched upon, nnd-the sermon wus cl'jsnd by a noble effort to impress upon li'x hearers l.be joy tjujro was in store f.-.r the uaonie of tied, aml'hn earnest nvncation that the building they were nor.' about to offer to the Almighty, would witness in time to come, many sinners brought to ChriMt, through the efficacy of the .wprd . preached from its *a?red desk, Mr Smith preached for one hour and twenty minutes, and of course the above does not begin to (3 do his sermon juslice. The congregation .listened with unfailing interest,, and when he closed all were impressed with his . Christian zeal and earnestness. - - . ,. After thciserinon, Mr Smith said, that under the laws of the Methodist Church", no building was allowed to be dedicated to the worship of the Almighty, that was nof free froftt debt. He had. been informed there was something owing on this- church and for the purpose of liqoi'Juliug tlmt balance, he proposed taking tip u collection this morning. The requisite amount, $496,00 was soon raised and the reverend gentleman, proceeded, to the dedication.
