rRANSUBSTANTlATIOIf. ,
Dlncasklm of the Doctrine by Rev. A.
J!J aiw HilleryD.li. 4 r
At the conclusion of Sunday morn
ing's service at the First Presbyterian
church, the pastor announced 1 that the
evening discourse wonMhe devoted to
the consideration ol the dogmsi ot'tran
substantiaiion. At the evening service.
therefore, latter rei6ii-ng the sixth chap- L
usr oi ooun, ue seiecxea ior ms text the
says 10 me people wno nave ioiiowed.
Him thither: "Except ye eat the flesh of
the son of man, and drink His blood, ye
have no life in you." . .
Afterthis,anu the quotation of n urn er
ous other passages of Scripture, of like
character, the speaker said that upon
these Papists' have built up the
abominable doctrine of transubstantia
tion. The lancruasre could not have been
used in any other than a spiritual sense.'
It is just as rational to argue that Christ
meant that He was the sun, or that He
was a vine, because He had said, "I am
the light ?ftjie world," )md "Jam the
viae; ye are the branches," as to argue
that His body and His blood must be
literally eaten and drunk. He could not
have meant any such thing as Papists
undertake to teacji, for the reason that
the sacrament "had not been insti
tuted at the time at which He spoke.
If transubstantiation is true all things
else are false ; if our senses which tell
us that ,the elements of the sacrament
are bread and wine, deceive us as to
this, they deceive us as to all other
things; if they are not to be trusted in
one thing they are not to be trusted in
another. Thus this doctrine consumes
itself and everything else along with it.
Transubstantiation as a miracle is a
failure, if this Declaimed for i, for the
outward manifestation of its truthful
ness is lacking. To believe in it is to
believe thaton the night of the Last
Supper, Christ, while at the table ate of
His own body. "To such disgusting ab
surdities," remarked the speaker, "does
this abominable doctrine lead."
Again, the Catholic Church, notwith
standing the Divine -command, "Drink
ye all ol it," allows only . its ( clergy to
partake of the sacrament. Thus the
priests, by withholding the cup, consign
their own flocks to damnation, since
these are not allowed to touch it. Some
of the reasons which the Papists assign
for this were here touched upon.. One
of the Church councils had declared
among other things, that it was because
to many persons the taste of wine was
extremely disagreeable. "This reason,
however, it was here observed, "does
not seem to apply to the priests them
selves." The doerma. Dr. Miller asserted, never
received the stamp of authority until
the thirteenth century. It overthrows
all sense and reason, and they who be
lieve it acknowledge themselves either
idolators or cannibals. ' ',;
After discussing the particular doc
trine alluded to, Dr. Miller treated brief
ly of the Catholic Church in , general
terms. He warned those who might be
seduced by its arguments that they were
rushing into "the arms of the mother of
harlots, who is even, now reeling under
the judgments of God and yet they who
hold that faith cannot consistently
argue it with unbelievers, because that
Church throttles reason and its- teach
ings do not admit of an appeal to indi
vidual judgment.
Dr. Miller combatted the statement
that the Catholic Church had not been
guilty of persecution, and that it had
not striven to keep the -Bible Irona the
people. The first assertion, he said, was
made in defiance of all history, and .the
proofs of the falsehood of the latter are
extant to-day in the writings of the
fathers of the Church. . In treating of
the persecutions of the Church more
particular reference was had to the case
of Galileo and to the events of , St. Bar
tholomew's Day. . . .
Dr. Miller spoke at length an with
great earnestness. To those who know
him it is not necessary to say . that he
handled his subject with .the utmost
ability ; that the discourse gave evidence
of profound thought and deep research
and that his illustrations were striking
ana his deductions logical. ,
Death of Mrs. Gov. Vance.
At the close of the services at theFirst
Presbyterian church, .Sunday, evening,
Rev. Dr. Miller announced that' since
coming into the pulpit he had received
a telegram which brought the sad intel
ligence of the death of Mrs. Gov. Vance,
in Raleigh, at 5 o'clock. The announce
ment caused a pang of sorrow to many
hearts gathered there, and , will, be re
ceived with universal regret throughout
the State'; a noble, Christian woman
has died and ber place cannot be easily
filled.
! Mrs. Harriet Newell Vanee was the
daughter of Rev. Thomas Espy, a Pres
byterian minister, who was a native of
Ohio, but married in this State, and
preached for several years in Salisbury,
where he died and was buried. Her
mother was a deSc&arit 6'f the Tate
family, one of . the oldest in Burke
county. Both of her parents died with
in a short time of each other,.. leaving
her a very young child. She was adopt
ed and raised by Mr. Charles McDow
ell, a distant" relative of her mother's
family, who lived in Burke county,
about five miles from Morganton. She
received the most of her education from
Rev. John Wilson, a Presbyterian mm-'
ister, and from Miss Gould.1 a northern
lady, both of whom conducted schools
at, different times in Morganton. Very
early in life she professed religion and
connected herself with the Presbyterian
church, in which faith-she died. In the
year 1853 or 1854 she was married to
Gov-iVnce, in. the Presbyterian church
at Morganton. She is "the mother of five
sons afl of whom are still living except
the eldest wbo.died very young and was
buried in Asheville.
liev. Mr. Espy was a bold, fearless ex
pounder of The Truth, and his daughter
inherited from him a strength of char
acter and an earnest devotion to the
cause of religion wMeh rendered her a
most valuable worker in the church.
-Firm in her convictions xjf truth T3he

It was reported last night that a

It is stated that he attempted to cross

The Carolina.Central Railroad has cut
off from the Raleigh and Augusta Air
Line, or the Raleigh and Augusta from
the Carolina Central, in consequence of
which the Seaboard Air-Line route via
Norfolk is no more. What the trouble
is the public has not been permitted to
know. The agent of the Carolina Cen
tral road has had published the fact,
and invites all shippers to try the Wil
mington route. The Rockingham Spirit,
speaking of the same thing, says that a
line of wagons' to haul-freight is soon
to be established between Rockingham
and Hamlet, and adds that efforts will
be made to induce the Raleigh and Au
gusta Air-Line company to extend their
road to Rocking,ham. . . , , .
