William Lunsford Preached a Most Impressive Discourse. The exercises at the Baptist tent meet? ing Inst night were of a 'moit interesting character. The attends nco was la rue and all present showed the deepest Interest in the exercises. Rev. WiIlium Lunsford preached n most impressive discourse, taking as his texr the (Ith chapter of Second ^Samuel. The subject was "Religion." The speaker said every man hod his re? ligion and his God. He spoke of the va? rious false, ii'li<>ions and then of the re? ligion of Jesus Christ, which he said was the only true religion. He then spoke of tho various evils of a man's Hie, and proved that they could only he corrected by that religion which appealed directly to the best instincts of man nnd required a change of heart. He then spoke of what tho religion of Jesus Christ consisted, and said that all must know the will of God as revealed in His word, and that we must put these 'conditions into practice, and that we must know and keep the cause for the sake of Jesus Christ, who came from God, aud in whom all must trust. He then gave reasons why every one should embrace the religion of Jesus Christ. He asked if the religion of morals and the various false religions would avail a man when he came to his death bed. He alluded to the fact that the nrk of the Lord was lodged in the house of Oladedom and said that on account of this ho and his whole house were blessed. So. he said, the religion of Jesus Christ would be a blessing to tho heart of the man who embraced that religion. Further, he said this religion was the only thing that would stand before death. It was not only a blessing, but a gain forever nnd ever. The neglect of religion brings disaster and the embracing of it brings peace, joy and happiness In this life and eternal pleasure in tho life that is to come. The who'e discourse was nn able aud eloquent one and did a great deal of good for the cause which he advocated. Dr. Brougbton followed In a short and impressive address on the same line. He alluded to the earthquake and dwelt Im? pressively on the recent seismic disturb? ances in this locality. He was followed by Rev. Thomas J, Shtpmau, pastor of the First Baptist Clinch, who closed the discussions of the evening, after which the meeting ad? journed until 8 o'clock this evening.
