EMINENCE, Ky., April 18.---At the Baptist church here, Pascal Porter, the boy preacher, opened a protracted meeting last night and held three services to-day. His text was Acts 1, 9-11. Before he began his discourse he had the air of a bright boy; but after he read his text and began the sermon the boyishness disappeared, and he had all the fire and eloquence of a man. Pascal Porter is a handsome 11 year old lad. Dressed in knickerbockers and plaited blouse, a jaunty little hat and high button shoes, he makes no more impression on the casual observer than any ordinary well-dressed boy of 11; but a close scrutiny will show the observer that there is something unusual about the lad. This impression is made when one looks at his large brown eyes, that have in them an expression beyond boyhood, a thoughtful light that indicates developed intellect behind. His manner also, while eminently boylike, is so full of nervous force as to impress a close observer. He is truly a marvel.
