THE WESTMINSTER ABBEY AND ST. MARGARET'S
SERVICES.—Yest-relay evening the sixth of the West-
minste-r Abbey services, designed for the benefit of the
working classes, was held in the rave of the venerable
buldirg. In order to provide accommodation for those
who are unable to obtain admission into the abbey,
special services have been inst.tuted in St. Margaret's
Church, and both edifices were last night filled to over-
flawirg. At the abbey there was, as usual, full choral
service, prayers being said by the Rsv. J. C. Haden,
M.A.., one of the minor canons ' • and the
les-tne were read by the Very Rev. Dr. Trench,
the Dean of Westminster. The Rev. Dr. G.
Mobeiley, head master of Winchester College, was the
preacher. He silected for his text the Bth chapter of
St. John's G ospel, the 331 and following verses. The
preacher made a most earnest appeal to his vast congre-
gation to emancipate themselves from the state of sin
and slavery, assuring all who heard him that the prayer
of even the most profligate would be heard. An anthem
from the B iok of Kings having been sung, the congre-
gation dispersed. At St. Margaret's Church, adjacent
to the abbey, Archdeacon Sinclair preached to a large
congregation.
