Editor Tha AdTartteer -Several yaar* ago I read is the Charleston Newa & Courier a sermon of Bishop Quarry's. I wn> ?o impressed with that sermon that I resolved that if I ever had the opportunity to l.e.r the Riship I would gladly avail myself of that pleasure I r.ever had that pleasure, until the night of the 14th inst. when I hoard this man of Cod deliver one of his forceful sermons, in his own peculiarly fascinating way. In r.iy esti mation, the Bishop is a great man. chocked full of good old common hard Sense, and free from all "Bigotry" and Style. As l listened to the truths de livered and the kind allusion to other denominations and the speaker's will ingness to accept the good deeds of all others that are helpful to the upbuild ing of humanity, and especially .of all churches that he could see the Cross behind. 1 wondered what the fascination was that made nie eager to hoar tho next words cf the speaker. Directly behind the Bishop, from Where 1 sat. 1 noticed a large Cross, in tho back of the church. There was the secret: The Oror-s behind the man. While 1 was most eagerly impressed with the ser\loes. 1 was greatly dis appointed at tho seeming lack of in terest, shown by the town people, when such a man as Bishop GUSfry is to preach. 1 believe I heard something about a negro minstrel being in town that night also. 1 was glad to note among the vis itors that the methodists dominated, there being two stewards, one a prom tnrV. banker ard his good wife and the wife of another steward and several others present 1 am glad 1 heard the Bishop and w ish he would conic offen er.
