at the request of the Governor and a
troop of friends, the admirable ser
mon recently preached to his people
in Chicago, upon the great political
issues now before us. The sermon
was SO full Of plain common sense, SO
simple and direct, so honest and sym
pathetic, that no one who listened to
it felt. I am sure, that the minister
was departing from the sphere OF the
pulpit in such a noble utterance.

strong resemblance to each other in
the qualities of their minds. They
were of about the same age, and firm
friends. Both were residents Of the
same city, aad worked up their way to
fame together, and in death they are
not divided.

THANKSGIVING DAY.-A large and
devout congregation attended st.
Paul's Church on this day, to return
thanks for the mercies of the past
year. The special prayers appointed
by the Ecclesiastical Head of the Di-
Geese were read with the service APP
pointed in the prayer-book, and the
Rector preached an appropriate SER
mon from Psalms LxvIII, 1898, in
which he enforced the duty of thanks
giving, as growing outsof the attri-
butes, power and goodness of God
which are so. wondrously manifested
IN the creation and sustenanee of all
things. He also specified particular
blessings which have been youchsafed
to us as individuals, a community. a
State, and nation, and concluded by
exhorting to that righteousness
which exalteth nation, and show
ing that the term patriot is-stheg God
fearing, God obeying man.
The people listened attentively
and it is hoped the remarks On the
occasion, will not be without their
fruits, in the hearts of those that
heard them. The singing Of the
choir, under the leadership of Mr..
lsaacs, was good, and the selections
appropriate to the occasion.
After the sermon, the Rector pro.
ceeded with the communion service
and over sixty communicates partook
of the Lords Supper, thus complying
with the requirements. ps. CIV. IL

This was liberal Offering, and
taken into conjunction with the fact
that this congregation had just given
$85 at a previous service, and with
what is doing in this city, indicates a
traly liberal spirit, one that is actua-
ted by faith, and means work for
Christ and his Church. Thus passed
away another Thanksgiving day.
Would that it had been religiously
kept by all the people, as it was by a
few, in this city, comparatively.

In New York cne Radical voter was
neatly equal to two Democratic voters
In Pennsylvania, one Radical voter was
almost eqnal to three Democratic voters.
II. previous to the late elections, the
several congressional districts had been

party, in the manner they are now gerry
