RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Local.-We have had the pleasure Of
beholding the improvement made in the
Ingle Street Church, in advance of its
re-opening for divine service, which
takes place TOMORROW morning, Rev.
Samuel Reed TO preach sermon. suit-
able to the occasion. The Church has
been thoroughly renovated inside and
out The walls ana ceilings have been
repaired and whitewashed; the looks Of
the ceiling improved in addition by
center-pieces over the chandeliers, the
window frames have been re-cased,
re-painted, and grained in Imitation Of
oak, and the glass stained; the seats
have been re-painted and grained; the
pulpit has been re-modeled, varnished,
and furnished with new Bible-cnshion
of crimson plush, with tassels attached
The altar and aisles are 10 be carpeted
with handsome and substantial carpet,
and the church is to be lighted by two
large eight-light chandeliers of coal.oil
lamps. Gas not running out Ingle
Street, the church is deprived Of its use.
1t is certain, however, that the congre-
cation will not permit their lamps to
go out for want Of oil IN their
vessels. The front of the building
has been improved by new corDice and
painted. As a further indication of the
public spirit and energy OF the congre-
cation, we will state that the Sabbath
School has been furnished with a new
library of several hundred volumes OF
choice books, all to be nicely arranged
in a new case and ready for distribu-
tion tomorrow morning The improve
ments to the Church and Sabbath School
have cost between 81 800 and sl4O0, bat
we dare say the congregation regard the
outlay as the best investment Of their
funds that could bossibly have been
made. Within the past two weeks the
Church has been strengthened by the adj
dition of some ten or twelve substantial
members, who have recently moved TO
our city and brought their Church-let-
ters with them Under the faithful
pastorship of the Rev. Mr. Turner, Inglo
Street Church promises to take high
and influential position among the other
Churches Of our city. [
Quarterly meeting began in the Cum-
berland Presbyterian Church last night,
and will continue for several days.
Rev. ]. c. Rowden, of Owensboro,
Ky, is expected to aid in the pulpit
ministrstions. The, Cumberland Church
of our city has been noted for its revival
spirit, and we presume the present
Quarterly Meeting occasion will be pro-
ductive of good, the amount of which
will never be correctly estimated in this
life. .aes
SO far as we have been informed, re
ligious services viii be held in all the
churches tomorrow at the usual hours
