Interesting article on the churches of Nashville Is contributed to the Knonville Journal-Tribune of recent date by a writer in this city signing the initials When Paul stood in the midst of Mart Hill and cried: "Ye men of Athens I perceive that In all things ye are too superstitious" the exclamation Is supposed to have been prompted by the multiplicity of temples which he found Inscribed to the heathen gods Taking ths word "superstitious" as synonymous with "religious" (in which I believe both the ancient trans -laters and the modern Ingersolllan philosophers sgres) the visitor to this "Athens of the South" in reviewing her 144 churches might be moved to a like observation It is a city of churches- and churchgoers Not long since a Nahv111e paper contained the statement that Nashville bad ever been a city of church-goers and that It had always been considered "good form" to go to church here! Whether the two were intended to be coupled aa cause and effect I cannot affirm bat from my own observation I may say that the "Southern Athenians' would hold themselves In readiness to march through "the- fiery furnace" if informed upon competent authority that it waa "good form" I cannot of course undertake a minute account of a whole groas of churches (without losing my Job as a newspaper correspondent) but I may through the patient courtesy of my readers be allowed to point out the dominant sects and the most conspicuous church buildings I find the oldest ecclesiastical organization here to be the Presbyterian Ths Brat preaching in the Cumberland settlements waa by Rev Craighead an Bast Tennessee Presbyterian in 1786 In 1801 Rev Wm Hume a Scotch seceder came to Nashville and gathered a congregation out of which came the first members of ths Presbyterian Church Having built two edifices which were successively destroyed by fire the present congregation worships In a large chocolate colored brick church on the corner of Church and Summer streets in the very heart of the city This building was completed In 1857 though In appearance it might be co-evai with the foundations of the city In fact I was so much astonished to learn the date of this venerable looking edifice as I have been when apprised of the youthful age of certain Nashville women for it looks (the cburch not the women) aa old and as somber ss the creed Itself This church is remarkable among the "Athenian" congregations as numbering more of the wealthy elite of the native "Hellenes'" than any other its present pastor Dr James I Vance who by the way belongs to that small hut goodly band of EastTennesseana who have "come to the front" in -Nashville EtTalra told me it Is the strongest Presbyterian organisation not In Nashville alone but throughout the South That It has more members sad more money than any other church in the Southern General Assembly Though of gloomy exterior the interior of this church Is ornate and handsome and its estimated cash value is $75-000 When after the fall of Fort Donelaon In '62 Nashville was occupied by the Federal authorities sll the Nashville cburches were seized and used as hospitals for the Union soldiers and In this connection a pathetic Incident Is related Some charitably Inclined and musically inclined member of the First Presbyterian Church used to go in and play the organ (which is a very fine one) for the sick and dying by which their last hours were soothed and lightened Two years ago these soldiers who had recovered and returned to their Northern homes returned to Nashville upon the occasion of the Tennessee Centennial Accompanied by some of their former foes all touched and softened by tho passage of they went into the First Presbyterian Church to visit the scene of their past sufferings Someone struck up the organ snd at tho sound1 with the tide of memories that It rolled In upon their the old soldiers broke down and wept freely When there came a lull in the tears the organist played "America" everybody sang and the affair ended In a Is not sufficient to prove that this Is Indeed "the Athens of the South" If neither the facts gathered nor my manner of presenting them establish her claim to sit on "the divine labour' among all her sister cities In ths South ss a center of culture and refinement a patroness of learning and the arts "above all these" then let her grasp the "precious little stool" and tear not to sit among the Judges of the earth ss having more beautiful wemen "to the square Inch" than any other city North or South For a perpetual "dream of fair women" surges through her streets snd one wanders through them as through a living picture gallery Whether tt be the tall splrttuells blonde or small piquant brunette whether the high born dame with classic profile and majestic mien or the bewitching combination of soft brown hair melting eyes snd rose leaf complexion which makes the man who beholds her very In- different whether the blood In her veins Is blue or red tbe Nashville belle Is Irresistible snd the superb nonchalance with which she will trail a silk petticoat through tbe dust and mild at the streets fills the gaping provincial with amazement perhaps gives wholesome pause to her would be suitors and must strike terror Into ths breast of the man

Cambridge Duke and Duchess of Devonshire all the members of the Rothschild family now In London the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch the Marquis of Dufferln John Morley Duke and Duchess of Somerset Lord

picture frame There were also gifts from John Hsy the United States Secretary of State Mrs John Mackay and Cornelius Vapderbitt The wedding cake was 6 feet high and decorated with primroses with white heather and the Roaeberry and Crewe coats of arms A large crowd gathered in Berkeley Square where the Roeeberry residence is situated and outside the Abbey the streets were Impassable for hours) The arrival of the bride and her father at the Abbey caused much excitement and cheering during which the crowd forced its way through the police cordon Order was restored with the greatest difficulty The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge signed the register The reception and luncheon at the Roseberry residence after the ceremony was attended by the Prince of Wales and others named and the 300

Frozen Coffee modeled after the old English cathedraL It Is beautifully decorated but the object of greatest Interest Is the altar of carved oak which la all the work of a Nashville artisan a native Swirs The carving ia exquisite and represents groups of spiritual choristers in bas-relief A memorial cross of pure gold set with precious atones which adorns the altar Is worthy of mention It is abou! thirty Inches high and the solitaire diamond which sparkles In the center la valued at 1500 and was given by a lady In memory of her husband The memorial stones which cluster around this are amethysts garnets snd topazes More touching than the Jeweled cross however from one standpoint and perhaps embodying a more self-sacrificing devotion was a pair of large brass vases inscribed "In Memory of Mistis" which were filled with white roses and rested on the altar These were the gift and represented the savings of an old negro woman who had served long in an Episcopal family The Methodist Episcopal Church is tbe strongest numerically and taken as a whole the strongest financially of all the various organizations here The first may be accounted for en a principle stated to me by one of their number that "Methodism Is like Bermuda grass which if a seed of it accidentally fall speedily overspreads the whole area crowding out all other growths" Its financial strength may be least partly due to the tact that at this point is established the Southern Methodist Publishing House which has recently made such a stir in governmental as well as ecclesiastical circles The "mother church" of this sect Is McKendree whose present place of worship oa Church street was built In 1S2 at a cost of and is accounted one of Nashville's handsome church buildings Two things are memorable in the history of the Methodist Church In Nashville One Its first services were held In the county Jail the jailer being a Methodist and the other In ISIS one of their preachers John Johnson by name and a man of family complained that his was too much and had It reduced to SSOO! This In itself Is a monument acre perennius Tbe Baptists of Nashville are a numerous and powerful sect and bare expressed their adoration architecturally in several handsome churches here tbe most conspicuous being the First Baptist Church on Broad street near the custom-house This church whoss spire towers above all the towers of the city was erected abcut fourteen years ago at a cost of JSifylO and Is chiefiy remarkable among the Nashville churches as possessing ths finest choir and as having for its pastor Rev 3 Hawthorne who has acquired something of a national reputation as an orator and polemic The church music of Nashville Is par excellent and far ahead of the preaching for "the Athenian" with two or three notable are decidedly mediocre and more consplcuous'tor quantity than quality The Jews who are so numerous and prominent in the business life of "the Athens" have erected handsome temple to their "on God" on Vine street st a cost of $30000 It Is lit the form of a mosque which I am told Is the conventional style for all Jewish synagogues In Oriental countries and baa over the entranse "Hear Oh Israel our Qoi is one God" I attended one of their Friday evening services and had the pleasure of hearing their distinguished rabbi Dr Lewlnthal who at once found a place on my very short list of forceful pulpit orators at this point At the close of the "lecture" as ths rabbi's dtseours Is termed there was a most impressive and beautiful ceremony whose significance I did not comprehend st the time but it was explained to me afterwards The rabbi recited that most exquisite of all Longfellow's poems "Rielgnatlon" and then offered a prayer during which the organ played a sweetly solemn chant At the beginning a portion of tho congregation who I observed were all dressed in black aroee and remained standing during the recital and prayer An Intelligent and devout Jew told me that this ceremony is called in the Hebrew "Kadlsb" whlcb miajis a prayer for the dead and that those who rise to their feet during It are they who have lost near relatives within the year He told me it is one ef thi most sacred rites of Judaism and Its observance la obligatory upon every self-reeceeting Jew In short the greatest reproach and the most stinging contempt one Jew can express for another Is: "He is so low he does not even say Radish for his dead!"
