Last Sunday was an unusually inter esting day our churches. Nearly every one of them lia<l services of more than usual interest. Several of them wen very prettily decoratod and all had good congregations. The day was a typical master ounuay ana spring costunm added to the beauty of the day. Thi pulpits of all our c'.urches were occu pied except that of the baptist congre gation. The Presbyterian Church, liev. J. Lowrie Wilson, pastor, lilled the pulpit and took for his text : "Who is she that looketh forth as the morniujf, fair as moon, clear as the sun, ami terrible as nn army with banners ?Soni; ol Solomon, VI-10. This passage so b;ghly poetic, refers to the church?putu'ingher beauty iti Christ's esteem, her lofty mission, and her equipment lor accomplishing it, The entire Song is hut a setting forth the relations between Christ and Mis ' people. On no other hypothesis can it be entitled to a place in the canon scripture. The text is but a life painting of the ' Lamb's Bride," the church, in which her gifts and graces, her conflicts and her triumphs, are penciled with consummate skill. Nature, in its most impressive phenomena is made to illustrate her relations to Christ and the world. Two lines of thought, appropriate to *1... ?...i i.? me in vj>unt utwiMun, nit: UV it : I. The general design and nature of the church : And II. Her thorough equipment Cor engaging in the work before her. I. As to its general design and nature. The church is the appointed agency for communicating the knowledge of Christ to the perishing of the earth. Like t!ie "path of the the sun" her light is to shine brighter and brighter unto the -? the perfect day ; >he "looketh forth into the morning." Iler altitude is that of expectancy. She is to respond in the name and by the authority of the blessed Lord to the "Macedonian cry" of dying nations. "Advance," is therefor* her watch-word, the battle-order of her great Captain. That flag of the bloody "Cross" is to be planted on the "banlvK of ancient rivers" and "on many a palmy plain." Her mission is to gather together into the fold of the One Shep^riLherd His blood-bought (lock, and there ngflhualify them for His service both here Rwi'lic nature of the church appears in fc&flkrcla,ion she suatnins to 'Christ and : "Fair ns the moon." The HRgjKLw is not a luminous body, but deon the sun tor every beam that '"^^^m^'es: just so with the church. light in herself, but. such as j.~_ u.? t i.Li nnni ujiwu IIUl UV UWUS LIIU "OOI1 OF Highteousuess." Shu gives only what herself receives and is therefore bnt a reflection of His glory. To set herself gbove the Word of God, and to bind the conscience by doctrines and ordinances of her own devising is to ursup the authority of Christ her King. Like the **moon" she is opaque and cannot originate lijrht. When the moon passes between the earth and the sun, it throws the Utter into eclipse, and darkness ensues. So when the church gets between Christ and the consciences of men it throws Him into eclipse, and spiritual darkness is the result. The church has only to d? wilh Jesus and the souls of men ; no entangling alliances to form with the kingdoms of this world?no lusting after temporal dominion. A union of church and State would be but the marriage of the "Lamb's Bride" to "Cesar." Not more remote from each other are the "moon" and the "earth," than are the heavenfixed lines between the "church'' ard the "State." Their two orbits are totally distinct. Were there any point in common collisions might be imminent and the safety imperiled. Not less to be avoided are worldly influences upon the church. Nothing is mose detrimental to her influence When the earth gets between the sun and the moon it throws the latter into eclipse. So when tho world gets in between Christ and the church it throws the church into eclipse, and shuts off the light of Jesus from,her. She ceases under such condition to be a reflection of His glory. A proper angel of reflection must therefore be maintained towards Christ and the world ; for thus only can she appear "fair as the moon.'' II. Her equipment for the great work before her: "Terrible as an army with banners." Tho first glance reveals the unity of the church. Its unity is that of the rain-bow, whose colors, though many form but one bow. The unitv of tho ocean "distinct as the billow. yor one ns the sea." Every doii*????.innri>?*i <?r Christians that holds to the "head-ship ol Christ," and "justification by faith through His atoning blood" is entitled therefore to recognition as an integral part of the one army. A second glance reveals her magnfl cient organization. The church is n< mob, but a body under law. All the officers needful to her thorough equipment, and tho method of filling them are therein laid down. Three officers indispensable to every wel ordered army. They are such ns relate tc its subsistence, its means of effective aggression, and its government oor responding to these are the offices ir t the church, and which in their natur< are peroetual : 1st. The %:niinister of th< the word," who is to feed the church o Ood with His truth : 2nd. The diaco note, to whom is entrusted its tcmoora lities : And 3rd. Tho ruling cider, t< whom is committed its government Tho last of these descrv-es special atten II I II I tion to-day, because of the emphasis about to be given it in the ordination of two ruling members. Here the two elders elect. Judge J. S. Cothran and Maj. A. B. Wardlaw, were called in front of the pupit and duly installed by pastor and session a- ruling elders. After the installation die min! ister spoke : 1st. The antiquity of this ollice. It is the oldest known to the '. church. The elder appears as a ruler in every dispensation, whether patriarchal, prophetic, or apostolic. 2nd. It's duties. These may be briefly . summed up in two : To prevent , straggling in the ranks, and to sit in the solemn courts-martial. 1 The sermon was closed with an car' nest appeal to the unconverted to start I life anew under the new management of I the church. ; The Methodist Church. ! The ladies ofjthis church had decorated the church and pulpit with some beautiful flowers and wreathes it) a simple but neat manner. Above the pulpit in green letters were the words "Christ is Risen/' [ The pastor, ltev. Mr. Weber, conducted the services which were opened by singing : "Jov to the world tlic Lord is come, Ace." r The sermon ot' the pastor was appropriate to the occasion and was based on the great underlying principle of the t gospel, annouuced by St. Paul : I i pri'ucu jurist mm nun crucmeu. ' .A synopsis of Sir. Weber's sermon can hardly be given without doing ini justice to the speaker. The sermon was . written and was full of thought. The first part of discussion was taken up with the thought snd idea that St. Paul meant to convey to the Greeks that Christ and the crucifixion were in exact antagonism held by the Jewish church. That the crucifixion and resurrection were the consumation of alt types. That this was to the Greeks foolish, hecause they did not see in it what the tJospnl was intended to be, a spinal religion, and that the forms and ceremonies of the old church should cease on the coming of Christ. Trinity Church. Mr. Hanckel, the rector preached a very interesting and able sermon from Job XIX-25-2G, as follows : "For I kuow that my Redeemer livctli, and tluit lie shall stand at the latter day upon the earth : ' And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh I shall see Ood." " Mr. llanckcl said in substance : Easter day is the time of the Christian's renewed hope. Job and those who lived before the Christian dispensation had some faint notion of a future redemption. The Christian has a clearer and fuller revelation of the future. The lift?, death and resurrection of ijnrtst is the earnest and illustraion of our resurrection to eternal life. The minister then spoke of the evidences of Christ's resurrection, that it was proved lieyoud all doubt. That Christians should live so as to meet Christ in the regeneration of all things, not in terror and shuddering, but in joy and gladness as our eternal life and and portion. St. James A. M. 10. Church. This church was very prettily if not elaborately decorated. In and around the chancel were numerous emblems and mottos. Over the arch that circles the pulpit were the words in guilt letters, on a pink background, "The Lord is risen indeed. On either side of the smaller arches was the word, "Hallelujah." Between the arches were small iloral crosses. Vases of flowers, surrounded by Easier eggs were appropriately arranged. In the rear of the church was a .handsome arch, below which were the words "Missionary day." Wreathes and festoons were placed on the side of the Church. At night the decorations were the same with the addition of an illuminated cross, about five feet high, and a sepulchre of considerable size, with a largo stone at its side. ' The pastor, Rev. K. l'aul CJreenige, occupied the pulpit and preachec a very acceptable sermon from the text found in l"Cor. XV-51 52 : "Behold I show von a msyterv: we shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed, "In a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump ; the tflunpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptable, and we shall be changed." The sermon treated uporf the resurrection, and showed the comforts there were in the christian belief. We had intended giving a full synopsis of the sermon but our limited space prevonted us. It was an interesting and instructive one. The Second Presbyterian Church. ltov. K. W. Williams pastor, preached, but we have been unable to learn the nature of the services. Death of Col Herudon. The sudden death of Col. Benj. Herndon, at 3 a. m. Wednesday the 2?tst, wna a great shook not alone to his family but to his large circle of friends. Col. Herndon, was a native of this County and was born at Cokeshorry, 1855? 1 being sixty four years of age at the time of his death. In 1842 he married Miss Julia E. Conner, the sister of F. 1 'A. Coiner and the L. D. Conner, and ' had a largo family of children, seven of ' them are living. Graduated at Kandolf Macon College, with the first honors of ' his class, leaving behind him the finest > reputation for scholarly attainments and natural ability.
