JACKSON Address a Vast Congregation on Stonewall Jackson LECTURES IN METRO POLITAN HALL TONIGHT Presiding Elder Gibbs at Central Meth odist Chnrch Pastor Adams' Work Rev. Joo Ramsey at Edentoo Street. Those who sil 1 4-iK tec I ttie services at the ltalci;li Uaplist Tnbi'ruack' yes terday enjoyed a rich treat both morning' ami eveniiif;'. ltev. J. William Jones, the well known tirand Chap lain (o'tieiiil of the Confederate Vet erans, and the author if the Life of lieneral Lee. preached both inorniiifr and evening-, lie was erected by large concri-e-ations ;it both services and Ids every word was listened to with the closest attention, la the inorninp- he preached a slronj;-. pure gospel ser mon, full of wholesome truths. I n flic ev eniiig his subject was Stonewall Jackson, ami the sermon was especially to the L. (I'll. liraneli camp, the 1,'aleigh Light Infantry and the students of t hi' A. anil m! Col lege. The speaker at the outset slated that he had never owned a slave and never would have ovvii"l one even if the war hud never occurred, but he discussed the introduction of slavery into this country, showing that the slaves were brought here by the Ibitish and Xcw Kngla uders and not by the South, lie showed a thorough k' stiowlcdgc of the history of the colo nics, ami the I'nited Stnti-s. This was merely a brief i nt rixl net ion to his re marks on Stonewall Jackson. It is impossible to do him justice in any brief iii-count. Hi' talked for an h and a (piarter. giving incident lifter incident in the life of the great (icn cra!. and during the entire adilress not a man, woman or child showed tin- least inal lent ion. Indeed, the in terest increased as he proceeded. The address was eulogized on all sides on '.lie streets today. Mr. P.. l!. Lacy le iiiurkcil: - would not have missed it for a great .leal. I never heard li mine interesting talk. It was helpful f eoni every stii'uilMiiut. anil during the entire talk there was not one uninteresting- word or incident given." .Mr. John . Thompson and a number of other gentlemen spoke in the highest terms of the address. Tonight at -.:w Kev . Dr. .loin's w ill deliver his famous lecture on "The Hoys in Cray, or the Private Confed erate Soldier tis I Knew Hint" iu Me tropolitan Hall. Admission 2j cents. ltev. Dr. J. T. Oibbs. presiding elder of the 1,'ali-igh District, occupied the pulpit of the Central Methodist church Sunday. II is text in t lie morning was taken from Proverbs Hh chapter and Ttti verse: " isdotn is 1 he principal thing: l hcreforc get w isdom: anil with all thy getting get understanding." Dr. (iiblis piet tired I lie difference be tween Solomon's admonition and the world's maxim, whii-li is "get money." The latter is inadeipiate for building character for this life and for eternity. The rich man lifted up his 4'ycs in hell a beggar. Money litis its' value for tlie accomplishment of good, but when in eomlunation to oppivss thc poor it becomes the root of all evil. Huron said: "Knowledge is power." Knowledge is greater than money ami it is a laudable ambit ion to raisi- to a high intellectual plane, but an under standing heart is essiuitial. Know -ledge anil riches combined will attract flattering attention, but it is not the principal thing. Popular fa vor is often insincere and fii kle. Solomon's wisdom meant menial power acting on the materials given "ith the highest knowledge iu the best way. t his understanding carries a ready insight into the divine Inn. This gives character which carries with it strength, the strength of puri ty and of love. A noble life results from noble being-.
