On tbe 26ih d*y of Janu try, 1888,
“Parmer’’ Tillman nd Ireanwl wh it
he termed a r.ih-dwton to TkeKevt
and Courier, in which he asserted
that be most “retire to tbe shades
of private lift*,* and gave bi.i rea
sons therefor. This “valedictory,”
which covered mote than two
cslwaiiis of the fine print of The
Jfewe and Courier, teemed with
abase of everybody who bad the
temerity to differ from “Fat met”
Tlllmau’a views, and contaiii'-d,
among o her anuouuoeiueu'S, the
following: “But necessity leaves
me no choice. I must retire and
attend to my own affairs. 1 have
no big salary and tbe spending of
•25,000 a ) ear to manipulate and
tickle Senators and Bepreaeuta-
tires,’’ Ac. * • “I have never
penned a line or spoken a word that
was not honest, or that 1 iegrei.
I have made many mistakes, but
self interest or peraonal motive has
never prompts J me in a single act
daring this agitation On the con
trary I have neglected and sacri

Sanae I can’t afford the costly

rvgntted by our euitre |>et>ple. The

John Stout. On one of tbe table*
the Indies had pi u e I some r.ire and
beantilul tloiers. Toe opening
hymn, “Come thou fount of every
blessing” was sung with feeling,
alter which Mr. Stout said it was a
button al fact, aa ebown by tbe re
cord, that the fathers of the church,
from its very foundation, bad inva

Without wishing lossy anything

dignified, to say the leaai oi it. If

certainly cannot havf ‘tat ended to

“neglect and aacriflce tbe interests
of bis wife and children tor a cause
he believes holy and jast.”1 Have
his circumstances so materially
changed daring tbe past three
moutbs that be can now “afford the

reason tor “retiring” was that “he

Turning now to the reminiscence*
ot tbe pas:, of the boh men and

he spoke as a lather speakiu,’ to
h s cuildien con ^tiling hi* child

people of 8oci>-ty Hi I aud Welsh

and history, they have now surer

biothers, as siet is, with one Path
er, tbe l»r.l, w** indeed a pic
lure oi Heaven. Uudei tlie power
of astMM-ia'iou and 'he liesof riei.d-
ship and bio >d, tlie past was
brought down to the preseii', and
the lountaiu *if 'he heart found te
lief in tear*. Th • talk to the col
ore»l penpl ■ was tender aud m-
strucitve; the Gurisdan character
ot Dnld.v Bill and Mamua Dina
Stau liu. out ssexaiuid-s that “God
ts n * respictor of persons.”
It was liom hearing Dr. E'urm.m
preach tha- BisnopGi. gg t tiie uo
ble and good Bishop of Texas, was
e t to the ministry. Judge Henry
Mclve , too. listened when a boy to
in - minisiraiious.
The m -etiugat half past eight n
Sand.iyl .igU: u|>ei(ed wru prayer by
Dr. f'in man. Af er the -iugiug ot
the liyiun “Ihe Mo.nn g light is

leily • fi >rt i' wa-; a sueeinc ac
com t.of mission work liemg giv.
eu from i s inception m 1802 to the
(ireseut time. The text of tbe dis
tingui-died >(»eaker wag from Josh
ua, 13di chapter, l>t Wise, “And
there remainetb yet very much
land to t»e possessed.” The statis
t es as to the vast millions ot man
kind iu heathenism are really start
ling. Nothing would please us
better than to give an outline ot
this lieautiful and instructive ad
dress ou a subject so near to the
hearts of all Christian people but a
lack if space tortuds it.
Mr. Slout then, iu the name of
tbe church thanked tbe
ininistere, aud especially Dr. Fur
man. for tbe kind, loving, *ud faith
ful manner in which they bad con
tributed to tu *ke the 8e*qui Centen
nial all that c mid ue dt-sired. Dr.
Furman feelingly replied with
woid* oi comfcrt and cheer, filled
with :h deepest emotion. It was
a little matter, however, he said, as
he whs looking forward to happy
reunions, “where we would see the
crown placed on Immanuel's bead,
and join the song, ‘AU hail the
pow*rot Jesus name.’” Tne large
congregation were moved to lewis,
aonowing most of all that they
>h-in d Mee his face no more. “In
the sweet by •and-bye” was then
eung, and ike holy man of God * is
ssissed (ho congregation with his
Me-aieg and Ue Messing* ot the
Lord.
Taking all ia all the Sesqui cen
tennial was a glorious affair, end
oar people have every reaaoa to

Uaded its oslehration h. G. B.
