The opening OF the Morning Star Mission Sunday
School yesterday at Pixies Opera House was an ex-

ever Witnessed The exercises were all characterized
by earnest enthusiasm. and II is safe to pronounce

Missionary Meeting mt Sc. Timothy,s Church.
missionary meeting, under the direction Of the
Board Of Missions Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, was held last evening at st. Timothy's
church, Fixty-sixth street, near Eighth avenue.
Similar services were held at the same time In oil
the churches Of this denomination In the city; the
fact Of the sessions Of the General Convention and Of
the Mission Board now being held rendering IL pecu-
Harry appropriate that such services should be held
and holding forth the additional advantage OF the
congregations being enabled TO hear from the bish-
ops, ministers and lay delegates from the various
dioceses some account Of the progress Of evangelical
ton in fheir respective localities.

Rev. J. II. Elliott, OF South Carolina was then in
troduced and delivered brief address on the sub.
lect OF the missionary labors OF the Protestant
Episcopal Chnrch. He said the subject was three
