LOCUST STREET,
BETWEEN FIRST AED wATER.
RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

I q
Local.-The Ingle Street Church i,
still undergoing repairs Consequently
there will be no services there to.mor.
row. This viii be quite a disappoint
ment to the congregation usually wor,
shipping there, as it is their Second
Quarterly Meeting occasions meeting
that the Ingle Street members always
look forward to with peculiar interest.
Locust Street Church is still without
Pastor. Services there Tomorrow will
be conducted by Rev. B. F. Rawlins,
Presiding Elder in charge. The mem
bers of that church are making
every exertion to secure minister
of ability and fervent piety to take
charge Of their interests and aid
them in completing their new
church, for which they have made
many sacrifices and in which their
hearts are so warmly enlisted. They
expect that by one or two weeks at
furthest they will succeed in obtaining a
Pastor qualified in every particular for
the responsible duties be will be called
upon to discharge
la the other churches services will be
conducted tomorrow by the different
Pastors in charge, at the usual hour,
aud, we presume, in the usual manner.
The Union Mission Sabbath School,
which, for several years past, has met
every Sabbath afternoon in Crescent
City Hall, will not assemble Tomorrow
afternoon, the hall having been perma-
nsSlly rented for a billiard saloon The
officers and teachers Of the school are
diligently seeking for another room, and
no doubt will be successful in obtaining
one in a few days. The Mission School
is an enterprise in which every lover of
the religions training of the young feels
a great interest The success which has
attended the school thus far, and the
permanent good that it has accomplish
ed, are too significant and manifest for
the people to permit the enterprise to
stop now for want Of place 10 which to
bold its meetings. Every Sabbath after
noon, for several years past, from three
to four hundred children, of both ssxes,
and of all ages and conditions-tha
wealthy and the poverty-stricken-hAve
met together to learn and sing songs of
praise to the Giver Of every good and
perfect gift; to study and conlmiu to
memory lessons from His revealed
Word; and to lay up stores Of rsligious
and moral truth that will be OF great
benefit to them through all their lives.
Many OF these children attend no other
Sabbath School, and have no other
means of receiving religious instruction.
The blessings that such an institution
sheds upon a community or, eity are,
silent and almost impsrce ptiblej like
the falling dew upon the parched ground
in summer, yet they water and refresh
many tender plant that without them
would wither and perish We trust, if
no other suitable room eaR be obtained
that those having charge Of the court
house will tender that building TO the
school until it can obtain q more suit
able place. The school would not dam
age the courthouse, and as it is i'm no
sense a sectarian institution, the court
room could not be put to a better, use.
The urt.honse was bailr for the trial
Of criminals--why not use it in the most
efficient way for the prevention of
crime2 7a aa afer .as-.o7 's.ia
The Parsonage, which the Episcopa-
lians are constructing for their Pastor,
will be, when finished, one Of the most
elegant and convenient cottages in the
city. 1t will be credit to the good
taste as we'll as the liberality Of the mem
bers of st. Pauls Church. -.- -v..
The Vine-street Church and Sabbath
School has lost warm friend and ae-
tive worker in the death OF Mrs DR..
Jones, who breathed her last on Thurs
day afternoon. She was kind-hearted,
afeetionate woman, whose delight il
seemed to be to engage in all kinds OF
Christian labors and charities She has
gone to reap the reward that awaits all
the faithful of God. The results of her
christian labors viii follow her. OF
quiet and uuassuming manners she won
the esteem and love of all with whom
she came in contact and her sudden
illness and death viii fill many hearts
with sadness @
Revivals.-Most of our churches have
been exceedingly apathetic during the
past winter while nearly all the churches
in other cities have been strengthened

of the spirit We continue our notice
of such in different parts of the cOun
