plan of preaching on Sabbath evenings in
the theatres and music halls has been pur-
sued in the city of London for eight years,
and it has met with very marked success

seven years was 9O3 and the total attend
ance 1851, 100, being an average of SOP
at each service. Ministers of different de.
nominations preach in turn at these SER
vices; and they arc attended mainly by
those who would not attend the regular
churches, some of these persons being ofthe
lowest and Of immoral character; but in
these places they listen with respect and
attention to the preaching of the Gospel
And large number of those who have
thus attended have in their reformed livel
given evidence of their conversion to God
Many the most popular of the Londor
ministers assist in this ciTort.-BoSto,
