first invited.
For thirty yean the Society has
shown itself in very many ways the

Helps to a Kraal number of Sunday
S-hools and churches; at an HAJJI fl

%ook on Theology, lill written hy
colored authors, and all peculiarly
adapted to tie special wants of
your own people.
We respectfully ask that you will

REV. GRAY PREACHES.
pie.
day
Leshaf Religion -Card Playing Chris?
tians.
At th*' Bseoud Baptist Clair*-li last
Sunday at ll A. M., Kev. Wm. Gray
preached from 1. John 4: "God is
love: theme Til*' Evident*1 of God."
He pictured the relative condition
of man without sin. His language
abounded in figures, ami the rhe?
torical effort was fine. " Hail man
never shined, he would lia ve occupied
the condition of n serf. As it is he
occupies the condition of a son. Had
man never sinned, he would have
move*l on in even felicity. As it is
wit li his trials and tribulation he
can better enjoy the beauties of the
hereafter."
He interred to the setting apart of
Saturday at the Sam Jones Meetings
as a special masting for colored peo
\Vhite people go to heaven every
y in the week: Negroes on Satur?
day.
Where is the doctrine that the
church of God is established on
Peter? He is too weak. Not on the
Pope because he had the rheumatism
one morning, notonthe Cardinal be?
cause he was sick the other day.
Some say that they'vegot religion.
Things that they loved before they
don't love now. It isn't so. You
loved money before, didn't you, you
love it now. You loved good clothes
before, you love them now.
Some say you can lose your reli?
gion. Its no such thing. If you
ever had it, you can't lose it. If so,
what do you expect to do with that
portion of the Scriptures which says:
' Depart from me, ye cursed into
outer darkuess, for I never knew
you.' If God gave me the religion,
he must have known me when he
gave it to me. He again demon?
strated that God is love. He con?
demned dancing and card playing.
"The parlor game indulged in by
many professed Christ ians which they
call th*; progressive euchre is the
high stairway to hell. I never knew
a dancing or card playing Christian
to go to heaven.
You never heard of a man getting
religion with a deck of canis in hi^
hands. Keep yourselves unspotted
from the world."
Ber. G ray is a polished pulpit ora
tor, and hus a combative way o
making posit ive assert ions, following
it up with unquestionable proof.

The funeral of Mrs. Martha Jane
Johnson, (who died June 4th instead
of stay) took place at Mt. Balam
Baptist Church on the loth inst.
Deceased was well-known, and had
many admirers; she was a favorite
of her community, and was much
thought of hy har many acqnaintanr
ces abroad. She hat! liv***! a Chris?
tian having been brought from dark?
ness to life nt an carly period of her
life. Her death caused many to feel
?ad, although her spirit rests with
the blest in that great, and costly
mansion where death is unknown.
Her death was a surprise to many ;
although her sufferings were great,
she did not k<*ep her lied 'til just a
few *lays Ix'fore she died. Not long
before she became so f**eble, lier si
Mrs. Rosa Little, of New York City
wrote to her. asking her to come and
spend the summer?thai she thought
it would Improve her health. Sh*'
rea 1 the letter carefully, unexpress?
ed no desire to answer it ; and laying
it aside said: "Ah well. Boca will
never see nie again in this world."
She was strictly religious, sad in her
suffering she often remind***! those
around hertha! Christ was all her
trnsf.
She leaves a husband, mother, t w<*
children, two sisters, and one broth
er to mourn their loss lWeaeed
had taken advantage of th*1 Bummer
of life, ami in only a few years had
onie quite well-to-do, had toiled
faithfully with an affectionate hus?
band and was entering the gateway
perity, when thc Lord saw tit
line o'clock. She (after telling how
to raise her two children) went ac?
cordingly. She was a member of
Glass 1". Grand Fountain, LT. <>. of
True Reformers. The Church was
draped, ami each heart seemed sad?
dened, the fact being that not only
the family and relations, bnt th*
whole neighborhood had been be?
reft.
The funeral was officiated by Reva.
W. J. Thompson and H. Taylor.
Rev. Thompson took for his text:?
JohnXVT-5th verse: "But DOW I go
my way to him that sent j me; ami
noneof you asketh me, whicher go?*st
thou?" After the sermon was
through, her remains were borne just
a few yards from tho church, where
awaited that which most if not nil
must come to. At th*- grave Rev.
Charles Iav sang:?" Unveil thy
bosom, faithful tomb." The faith?
ful Indies who had cared so much for
her when in health, who hail Ik^h so
watchful around while iu sickness,
further demonstrated their devotion
by nearly hilling the grave with rich
arrange*! f!or;il designs. Oh! how
sweet it is to be beloved : ami to be a
christian.
Another honor rules the day, anoihei
home is sad ;
Another mortal diet to-day, but stil

We grieve to .-e? our 'loved one go
