his pulpit at.Grjce-Str^et Baptist Church
to-day. The morning service will l>_.

the need of completing the new church at
once, and wiil ask their co-operation in
an .?ffoft io accomplish tiie desired -,vork.
The church has heavily strained itself to
advance the work tu its present situation
?nd the question is whether or not Ihe
cong:<-g?t:on is ready for the linai pull
that ".vili complete and equip the ?rouse.
1 Dr. Hawthorne will deliver a se'_^*on
this morning on "What is Tr.ie
Religion'.'" U is designcu to meet cer?
tain difliculties in the ?minds of certain
sceptics ar.d to all such, a special invita?
tion Is given to attend the ?iTvice.
Re?.?. Henry W. Battle. D. D., who will
exchange pulpits with Dr. Hawthorne
this eivening. is a native of A'abamaT
He is the son o? General Battle, who
commanded a brigade under General It.
IC. Lee.
Dr. Battle is now the popular pastor
of the First Baptist church, Petersburg;
und preaches to tlie largest vongivgatior?
ii? Virginia; His recent discussions of
agnosticism have ??ttracted great attention
and v.?.? for him an ??nviable ?listinctlon.
Only twenty years agn he was ordained
by Dr. Hawthorne in Tu.skegec. Ala. He
is now tlie peer of any man in the Virginia
pulpit. A great congregation will doubt- ?
lev- assemble to hear him tills evening.

on ??Christ as Our Friend, Saviour and
Brother." ?
Dr. Guerrant has done a great deal of
?n-ork in these localities, and ?what he ha.?

tion of building arid the prospect and
means of raising th?/ necessary money.
It is expected that the ?attendance will
be large, as the matter is one in which ihe
members of the church and congregation
are deeply interested. Tie Sunday-school,
which has almost outgrown its quarters,
will also consider its relation to this un?
dertaking.

with intent to maim, disable, disfigure and

et knife and slashed Haxgrov^ across the

The Bird Carnival.
Every one is talking of the Kellogg
Bird Carnival, whicb will be he?!?! at the
Auditorium next Tuesday, matinee and
night, under uh?, auspices of the 'Koma
for Incurables.
Mr. Charles ?D. Kellogg, who will pre?
sent tiie Carnival, is a phenomenon.
Owing to a peculiar construction of thi
throat, lips anil tongue, he has complet*
control over the muscles of these organs,
and Is able to reproduce the notes oC
every variety of singing-bird. He is not
a whistler, but a bird-warbler, and can
produce three or four tones simultane?
ously.
.Mr. Kellogg has travelled through Eu?
rope, Canada and the Uniteti States, and
has everywhere been received with mark?
ed enthusiasm.
Tha eii:<*rtainment he gives can besC
be ?lescribed as womfa-rful. .lie warbl????
instrumental solos at times as soft and
clear as Che meet delicate bird-tones,
?while again the volum?; is so great thac
they can be heard above the ?sound of
a brass band.
Mr. Kellogg has been given, and well
! merits, the title of the "Human Mock?
ing Bird."
There Is no doubt that this -wonderful
performance will attract a great crowd
to tha Auditorium.
