On Monday last, in compliance of the order for a general thanksgiving to Almighty God for his interposition in preserving our Sovereign and her Consort from the assassin's hand, the same was duly observed at our church, on Sunday last, succeeded by an excellent discourse, in the morning, by the Rev. R. G. Lewis who selected for his text the 9th verse of the 20th Psalm—"Save, Lord, and hear us, O King of Heaven, when we call upon thee." The sermon in the evening, was by the rector, the Rev. C. G. Boyles, who preached with much energy the duty of a subject to his sovereign, from the first and second verses of Paul's First Epistle to Timothy, — "I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men. For Kings and all that are in authority; and that we lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty."
