( Tbo alory of Commodore Foote'a vol- i , nnteer performance of immaterial sit j | vice in the pulpit, at Cairo, on the Sab - '.Kith following hip victory at Fort Hen- i ' ry, ia reliahlejditfirmrd by a corretpon- j rlent of tht North wo- tern "Advocate," j woo relate* aa follow* ; l.asi Sabbath — the Sabbath after the j vietory — a congregation assembled at j ( the Pfeahyterinn ehurdli at thia place, I , bnl the minlater rxpdcted did not 'come. [ S Aa I passed np the street on my way to [ ! ' the Mcthod:»t church, a Presbyterian! i brother hailed me and informed roe of (ha etate of the ceee, and requested me ! • if possible to supply "heir lack of tier- ' - vice. Lpronitaed to totapiy aa soon as i i ^ 1 couhi go to my quarters and return. [ In the mean while, the cougregaliou, not scehig any. minister present, became i restless, and -Commixture Foote, seeing the state of affairs, went into lite palpit ; and remarked that rallu-r than have such a large congregation di -perse without ** any religions services, lie would conduct j them himself. On my ratarn to the church, seeing a gentleman in the .uniform of a commodore, occupying the pulpit and reading from the Scriptures, I took a seat is the body of the church, and concluded not to say a word. Unaware of the presence of any minister, the Commodore proceeded with the services. lib read fbe I4tb chapter of the Gospel o7 St. John, oftred a brief, earnest yrayer. ' read a hymn, and then, taking or a text the first verse of the eiutpter .se had read, proceeded to addres* the edugrefxtion. [*he remarks were like the pfitj- ; «r, brief and earnest, occupying about fifteen minutes' time. There was no attempt at sermonizing, but ' venture the i assertion that few sermons delivered that ' day ware mora succoasful in the actum- - * 1 piiabmeot of the true object of all etr- ' tnona — the production of a good topres- j aims upon the minds of those who bear. | Good sense add an honest, unfaltering - faith in the Word of Uod characterized ! all that was uttered. Among Oilier things, the Commodore said that on the morning before he made the attack on Port- Henry, he prayed and wrestled with God until he was confident of success. He felt that in speaking thus- be was exposing himself to ridicule, in cerlaio quarters, but feeling we ba disk that we am dependent npon tiod a*. individuals and as a nation, and k that without his blessings, we must Igndmfoiooely Ml ia the great work be- ' fore as, hs felt It his doty to thus give * conviction— hs believed, and thevafore Th« ..dJStK. li,uit«i -lib dMp ud tearful aUentioii, while the veteran Comwicdwr* "rpobr, in plain words end un-

affected earnestness, of oar depeuBwiicdfil , God and tbo obligations we arts' nnder to reco$«!t# hit-supremacy' In all - oar ways. I have heard many excellent sermons jsfrom the Hps of learned doctors aud/~ ! able divines, but few have I ever kuoah which went more directly to the hearts of those who listened-then the short j and simple discourse of Com. Foote. ! There are those who will snear at the that prayer should have anything to do with the remits of a battle, and ' is doubtless troe that no amoant of i alone would here silenced the ; ' rebel batteries or turned aside their j death dealing missiles from our vessels. But no one who hiss ever prayed in : i the scrip' oral sense, need be told that ! he, who ha» most of the true spirit of i prayer, has also least of the foolish spir- • it of presumption, and- that while he | 'rnsts in God more, he does not avail ; himself of, wll legitimate human agencies less. /Alow much that hour spent ) with God before the battle had to do with that calm collected spirit, that resolnte will and unfaltering courage which ; enabled the commander to direct every ! movement with snch coolness and pre I cialon, as made every blow from our j ! side tell with terrible effect upon the i | foe, is known only to Him who bears j and answers prayer, and who is the God j of battles as well as the God of peace.
