ANOTHER COINCIDENCE.


We have before observed several striking coind-
dencs between tbs regular lessons of the day IN the
Episcopal ealeaaar for Church service and import
ant events. The first lesson for lsst Sunday
evening was as remarkable any which has been
before noticed. Il was the 18th chapter Of Exodus
containing the victorious anthem OF Moses and the
children Of Israel on the destruction Of the Egypt
ians and beginning =" Then sang ses and the
children of Israel this song unto the Lord and
snake saving / will sing unto the Lord, Tor he hath
triumDhed qloriously the horse and his rider hsth
he thrown into the sea. The Lord is my strength
and song and he is become my salvation: he ls my
God, and | will prepare him an habltauoni my
fathers God, and | will eXalt him. The Lord Is
man of war: the Lord Is his nsme' The enemy
said will pursue. l VIII overtAke, will divide the
spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; will
draw my sword; mine hand shall destroy them
Thou ddst blow with thy wind, the sea covered
them: they sank as lead IN the mighty waters
Mriam's song Of ACCOMPLISHING ye to the Lord
for he hath triumphed go=iously," &c, is part Of
the same lesson.

several thousands of our citizens of both sexes at
