Stockton appeared in the pulpit, and, after
stating the purposes for which they had as
sembled, gave out the beautiful hymn com
mencing, "This is the God we ADORE" which
was well sung by full choir. After solemn
and feryent prayer, he read the Psalm cxxii, and
announced as his text, 1T is faithful saying"
&c., from which he preached one of the most
encouraging, interesting and eloquent sermons

preached an impressive sermon from "Ye are
my witnesses" The collection taken up dur

Mr.. Fitzpatrick, of Washington, which is truly
an ornament to the street, by Dufur, Severn &
Co., Of Baltimore. The chair and sofa by VIM
King. The window blinds, which, for beauty,
neatness, and appropriateness, cannot be sur
passed, are from the establishment Of Rodier &
Brother. Upon the whole, it is one of the
neatest and most pleasant churches in our town,
and reflects great credit upon the congregation.
