ESAU AND JACOB.
Prof. Griffiths Magnificent Talk to Young
Men.
The crowd which \. etil down to
Limestone last Sunday to hear I’rof.
Griffith was larger than on the pre
vious Sunday. • ^
^ The ii»l‘.«s ng:;t: , t<M>k advantage of
the occasion and made a trip.
After the Sunday-school lessons had
been recited Prof. Griffith addressed
the young men, clioosingus Ids subject
the “Lives of Ksatl and Jacob.” The
speaker handled his subject inn pleas
ing, graceful manner, and brought
about tlie contrast in the liven of
those two Hildical characters inont
vividly. He told how Ksau. the con.
tiding, whole-souled, generous, manly
man had unwittingly Irecomc the vic
tim of Jacob, the cunning, the avari
cious. tlie parsimonious, the penuri
ous.
Jacob bud doubtless inherited some
of Ns cunning from Ids mother, as
site seemed to la- the instigator. The
Profess*.«• begged the young to la-ware
of the first false step, using as an il
lustration a comical incident of Ids
own experience. His talk was with
out oratorical affectation, yet so clear
and effective that it riveted theutten-
t ion of his audience from la-ginning to
end.
The mush* at Limestone is excel
lent, in fact it isthe la*st choiramiind
here, and this too, in view of tin- fact
that there is not a male voice in it.
The young ladies sing with an easy
grace which is refreshing to listen to.
They sing like it was a pleasant duty
which they enjoyed. Prof. Griffith
told a LKiMiKii representative lie would
like have the assistance of aiaait four
young men for Hie choir. With lids
addition it would la- complete.
Sunday school next Huhhnth nftcr-
noon, and all attend.
