Il year, has been extensively and beautifully i'm
proved, was reopened for Divine service yester-
day. The services throughout the day were un-
l usually interesting and largely attended the
church on each occasion being so densely Tiled az
to render Il impossible for many to secure even
convenient Standing position:

this city, :nd the Rev. DR.. Chambers, Of Phila-
deiPhia occupied seats In the pulpit
After the reading OF portion Of Scripture by

INSTRUMENTATION: The object Of this convocation
was Identified with and indefinitely connected In
| It, because they belonged to time and eternity
Review day must come, when they should stand
individually and collectively In the presence Of
/ the Infinite Ruler Of the Universe. Here had
been committed to them a Stewardship Of no ordi-

God in the moral government Of the world, most
/ absolutely and positively. In the arrangements
i Of Gods Providence this congregation had as a
people, been favored and blessed. The labors of
their beloved minister had received the sanction
Il
wasted and together, in the capital Of the nation
| they had stood among the foremost In defense OF
the immutable principles Of right for the advance
/ ment OF the kingdom Of Jesus, and the building
i up of the empire of God all over the world; so
that, 10 might be said, their name was spread
| among all the churches. They had been pros
pered as regarded the material home In which
| they were to dwell; and whatever may have been,
| or whatever may be now, the condition Of the
building, that is merely secondary consideration.
An attempt on the part Of men to connect God

may dwell In the house Of my Lord all the days
Of my life, to behold the beauty Of the Lord, and
TO inquire In his templen
In the evening, the Rev Dr. Chambers dilated
on the Gone Man Power" He attributed the
present distracted condition Of our country to a
failure to properly obey the laws.
