Our Churches Yesterday.
BPTIST TABKRNACLE.
The whole number of scholars en
rolled at the Sunday school of thiB
church yesterday, reached six hun
area ana nineteen twelve new
scholars. The sen. ol is growing very
rapidly in members and usefulness
it was decided, yesterday, to have a
picnic, this yar, only five voting
against it. The place will he selected
in the future. At the morning ser
vice the house was wtll filled. The
sermon was preached by the pastor,
Rev J J Hall, the subject being "Life
in Abundance" text, John 10th
chapter, latter part of 10th verse. It
was a discourse of great power and
well handled by the eloquent divine,
He said that all life owes its origin to
Christ. That Jesus came that they
might have life and that they might
have life more abundantly. He said,
he had seen persons, whom he believ
ed had been blessed with this life,
who seem to have never gotten be
yond the baby days of their whinin
and complaining. It is in the power
of every one to have this life and to
have it more abundantly only look
to Jesus with trusting hearts.
His sermon in the evening to young
men, was one ot great power. The
vast audi nee room was filled to over
flowinga brief synopsis of it would
do it injustice. You must hear the
Rev Mr Hall if you would get the
benefit of his able and eloquent ser
mon. We regret that every young
man in the city did not hear him last
night, his appeal to the young men
for a higher life was eloquent and
convincing.
C r- NTRAL M E CHURCH.
Dr J B Bobbitt preached a capital
sermon in the morning on the "Media
tion of Christ. The sermon was strik
ing, forcible, thoroughly scriptural,
and highly entertaining. Those who
heard him were highly pleased. At
night Rev R HWhitaker preached one
of his best, and it was indeed a good
one. The subject was aa old one,
"Rest." the rest for which we all
sigh. But he presented it in a some
what new and attractive light. Both
services were enjoyable and enter
taining. EDENTON M E CHURCH.
At Edenton Street Church yester
day morning, Rev Dr Ihos E Skin
ner preached a very interesting ser
mon to a large congregation. At
night Rev Dr F H Johnson preached
a fine sermon.
It is very gratifying when reading
the different papers throughout the
State to note the many improvements
that are going on from day to day.
Here a factor . , there a mill, and so

It does seem that we can hardly keep
enough stock to supply the increasing
demand. Our buyer is now in New
York looking for bargains. It has
only been one month since he was in
the market, but our sales so far have
been so much more than we could
have expected that it has become
necessary for him 'to go again for a
still larger supply of the seasonable
goods. You may rest assured that
his visit North will be of benefit to
our patrons. We have the best se
lected line of dress goods for (less
money) than any house in the city,

clothing, fine shoes, hats, notions,
&c. and especially millinery goods at
Swindell's.
