ANNIVERSARY ssRHos.--0n Sunday morning
Rev. ]. 8, Hsnning, pastor Of Wesley Chapel
Mission, Ninth and 8 streets, preached his ami
yersary sermon, II being Just one year since he
commenced his duties with this little charge.
The congregation has greatly prospered during
the past year, and will doubtless In few years
ask that they may be made station. A Sun
day school was organised In that section the
latter part Of 1868, which q number Of young
and In January, 1854. II was moved to the
chapel "a plain frame structure which 10 at pres-
ent occupied On tho lst Of January, 1885, o
church was organized by the following young
men: Mark R. Woodward, Seth A. Terry, Richard
Riggles, B. N. Thornbury, and Samuel Nc Clos
ky, and services were conducted by Rev. John
Riggles, . local minister attached to Wesley
Chapel, until November last as their pastor.
The Sunday school was still continued, but for
a time seemed to lagi but within the past year
1t has greatly prospsred, and grown even more
rapidly than tho church. Mr.. Henning In the
course OF his sermon compared the charge as II
now 10 with II as he found II over year since,
when they were but q dozen men, women, and
children In the congregation, and spoke Of tho
powerful revivals Of religion which had taken
place during the year through the instrumen-
tality Of which tho membership had been in
creased to over fifty, Of mostly grown persons.
He spoke In high terms Of tho young men who
have conducted the Sunday school, which now
numbers one hundred and twenty scholars, with
twelve teachers, superintended by Mr.. M. r.
Woodward, which will compare in point Of intel
ligenco, 30, with any others. Tho prosperity Of
the church could bo best judged by the spiritu.
ality Of Its members, and not by Its numbers,
and taking that view the success Of tho mission
was indeed wonderful.

CENSUS or THE DIsTnIcr.-We are requested
to state that the work of making census Of the
District Is progressing well, and promises to be
very full and complete; but no full precinct has
yet been reported. Some difficulty, however,
has been experienced with great many, who
could not fll up the blanks without help from
the census takers. Tho entire police force have
shown commendable spirit, pushing forward
the work which has been given them. 1t Is
hoped that the results to be obtained from their
labors will rebound to the benefit Of the cit y,
and relieve 1t from burdens which 1t Is lily able
to bear.

met last night at the chapel on L street, be.
tween Fourth and Fifth Streets 8. ]. Bowen,
president, In the chair.
Mr.. King moved that article six Of the BY.
laws, relating to the payment Of fees, be indea.
nitely suspended.
Nj. Bouidin opposed the suspension or abro.
cation.
The motion Of Mr.. King was agreed to.
Mr.. WIN. H. Morrill, offered q series Of resolu.
tions. nominating Gen. Grant as the choice Of
the Fourth Ward Republican Club for President
Of the United States.
Mr.. M. briefly advocated the adoption Of the
resolutions, and urged as a reason that Gen.
Grant was a resident Of the Fourth ward.
Mr.. J. H. Crossman deprecated the adoption
Of the resolutions at this time. The nomination
Of candidates for the Presidency at This time
was premature. The people Of the District Of
Columbia did not vote for q candidate for the
Presidency. lie did neither oppose nor uphold
Gen. Grant.
Mr.. King was not opposed to Gen. Grant, hut
at the Same timo was not In favor Of putting out
the Gag Of distress. The Republican party was
morally committed to universal suffrage. They
must come up to It boldly, because It was right.
We wanted a man who stood up boldly for suf.
frage for all men all over tho country. He did
not say ho would not support Grant, II he were
uominsted-bo was strict party disciplinarian
but he wanted man who came out frankly
and openly.
Mr.. Morrill, said ho was one Of those who
would rather die than see tho copperhcads sue
ceed In the elections. All over the country the
Republicans were nominating Grant, and there
was no reason why Washington Republicans
should not nominate him.
Mr.. King moved that tho resolutions be re.
ferred to a select committee Of Eve for revision,
who should report at the next meeting; agreed
to; and the Chair appointed Messrs Morrill,,
King, and T. D. Brown.
Mr.. King said that ho wished, by permission,
to say few words In regard to tho recent census
circulars. He thought that the object of Con.
gress was simply to ascertain tho number ol
schoolablc children and the educational wants oi
tho people, and nothing else. These census cir
culnrs went beyond the law, and asked for infor
| nation foreign to the subject.
