known in the city, and he bad brass

those extemporaneous sort of Speak

He had the happy art of tehlng all
he knew and leaving the impression
that there was- much more, behind.

joy and a terror j 7a joy toT stand
op la the tub, that stood in the
corner of the log bouse on College
Hill, and preach j J esus to a plain
people who loved the simple gospel-4-a
terror to face the aristocratic con
tregation at McKendree . chapel.
Two men of that congregation were
a great terror to me. One was. the
eccentric i John Price, who bad a
habit of sucking his -teeth, and
wiiggling- on3 hia. seat, when the
preachiog did not ait him. I got
in the habit of preachiog to tad left
side of the hause to avoid the sight
of brother Price, who sit on the right
of the pulpit.,. I will mention an in
stance of the eccentricity of this man.
Growing a little tired of fried chick
en every morning for breakfast, he
said to his wife, "if you don't give
me something, else to eat I shall
turn to a chicken." The next morn
ingj the everlasting chicken was on
the table as usnal. As a substitute
for grace be flapped his arms in im
itation of the rooster .and crowed.
The next morning he bad Something
else for breakfast f BroC Price was a
class-leader. There was . a sister in
his class who bad : a . long time wor
ried him with the 'same old story
about her lack'Of ;ieligiony He; de
termined to put a stop to this Sterol
typed story.abouthet lake war mn ess
and doubt. ; So he said to her the
next time, my sister; I am tired of
hearing this; doleful story, T will
give you the same, advice.aman gave
me the other day. Seeing ; the sign
uSalP over my store be cam in and
inquired the price of ialf.I told him
I had quit the, salt business and di4
not keep the article. Said le,."take
down your.sigtttaenJi;:,"aiy siter,
my advice to you is this, it yoa are
destitute of religion and don't intend
to keep the -.arjticle. take down your,
sign. ;Don't come to . this meeting
any, more a with that old - story If
you don'c bave 1 any ; better account

hope youwili stay? away1,3S
j There was another man-connected
with that fashionable churcbwbose;
looks and manner towards me im
pressed me ''with tbe .idea tbai be
(Moseby) , looked J upon jme as the
greatest .impositiQnithat bad ever
been forced upon any respectable
chureh, as a preacher. - The sight of
tni8 man on the streets was a torment
to me. His very looks set my nerves
to quivering. It was one of the sur
prises of my lite,- when he came to be
one day and said', Brother,: Jones,
I am afraid you V are .not aa comfort
ably situated at your boarding place
as you ought to bei I want yon to
come and make my hbnse your home
as long as you remain in vNashvule
free ot cbarge to you' or the church.
I found in that man an ardent friend,
and in his family one of the sweet
est bomes lover, met oa earth.? My
morbid fancy had painted a false
hood, and a' slander upon Mosebv'a

courage to .yisit . Bro, ; Price at his
place of business.' , He said to me, if
there was a cellar at my boarding
boose, and I would go down into that
cellar every aay to pray, ne wouia
give me a coffee sack to kneel npon,
and he thought in that way I would
soon get Are enough to set the city
of Kashville in a blaze. . There was
no cellar at Bro. Moseby'&and I did
not carry the coffee sack home with
me. So the city was not set on fire
that time. It was here I first became
acquainted with Rev. Ii. B. C How
ell. A maionty of the members of
the Baptist church in' that ctty had
embraced the teachings of Alexan
der Campbell, and held possession of
the house or worship.' ftTbe 'minority
who held to the old Baptist doctrines
withdrew, rented the Masonic Lodge
as a place ot worship, and called
Bev. B. B. U. Howell, of Norfolk, to
be their pastor. He at once took
high rank among the other ministers
ot the gospel of the city. Rev.- Mr.
Fisher, of Kentucky , a noted evan
gelist, held a meeting during this
year for Div Howell. 'Fisher was the
ape of Mount, in the fastidiousness
of bis dress, fantastical style of wear
ing his ban?, in his ' theatrical airs,
and in his captandnm manoeuverings
with the passions of his audience
startling and,starrngwhi8pering and
bellowing, shouting and crying; and
all that sort of thing.-. Bat he fell
far below Moffitt in intellect In cul
ture and in oratorical power. -Here-minded
some people of the donkey

skin; which was always too short at i

These are facts, and all the proof can
be given at any time; What
tot be success isn't so every time. The
troth is, when women go xut as
preachers they are either vgood wo
men or bad women. If they are bad
women then bo one will say they
ought to preach ; and, if good women,
their claim to the ministry must be
recognized by the New Testament or
it cannot be recognized b by us. To
the plain word, therefore, let' us go.
I. Presumptive Proof Against It
1. Example. Jesus was a man.
The Apostles were all . men... The
seventy were men. . When one was
to be chosen in ,the place of Judas
he must be a man,: . All the writers
of the New. Testament were men.
The "great commission (command)
was given to men.., :, ? ,
2. Qualifications. Only, one class
of preachers recognized in the New
Testament Bishops or Pastors. "It
a man desire the office of a bishop,
he desireth a good work. "A bish
op must be the husband of one wife."
Not the wife of one husband.
The qualifications of the wives ef
bishops and deacons are given ; but
absolutely: no qualifications for wo
men as preachers are givenf u t
Ii. The DlTineProhibitloiu
1. "Let your women keep silence
in the churches.? They cannot do
this and preach. ' ". -
i "It is not permitted unto them
to speak." Then they must; not
speak. vu .-5 .-Ani
3. "It ii a Shame for a- woman to
speak in' the hurch.r? Then they
must not bring that shame-open
themselves by speaking in the church.
4, "The things that- 1-write unto
yotr are the-twrnaiunciments-' ot the
Ijord." The command men tsd the
