Oh urch was unusually large

Church was unusually large.
Services were held at the Asbury Chan
ell. which took the form Of a prayer meet
ing.
The pastor of ST. Stephers' Church
preached from these words:
So is he that layeth up treasure
for himself and Is not rich towards Cod
Luke 1921.
The first obi ct Of the speaker was to
prove that one import Of the observance OF
the day was the recognition Of society be
ing one body, aud its individuals members
one Of another.
From this springs the duty Of public
spirit or an active interest in the welfare of
society and this public spirit may exhibit
itselfin general philanthrophy for the good
ofthe nation or State or for the we'll being of
ones immediate neighborhood.
The speaker confined himself principal.
ly TO the last paragraph, urging the pro-
priety of establishing in our community
some institution Of public charity for the
benefit of the honest poor aad unfortunate,
and closed by identifying the highest form
OF public spirit with christian activity i'm
plying the duty of becoming "rich towards
God"
The pulpit OF the Congregation al Church
