Of Salvation against Satan, in this city. The Taber
nacle was more crowded on hat merning, before 10
O'Clock than ever the Long Island race stand was.
The platform was covered with black coats, and SO
was the whole range of choir seats behind. The
galleries were literally crammed with beautiful
Young women; so were two.thirds of the body Of
the church. Many were very young, and majority
were very handsome. The concourss was truly tire.
menaous. We never saw such jam on any ocea'

ladies were squeezed into a narrow compass, and
silks aud broad CLOTH and legs Of all kinds, were
brought into remarkably close jsxtaposition.
Soon after nine, the officers of the society met at
the Great Brick Bible House, in Nassau street aud
marched up to the Tabernacle, whittier they were
followed by crowds Of parsons. At 10 A. NJ, the
Hon. John Cotton Smith took the chair. Several
vice-Presidents were there. Mr.. Ballard, an Epis.
copal minister of Pitts6eld, Mass, read chapter.
Then the President delivered a very touching ad
