Faith, Grace and Beauty-Tho Poor To BE
Remembered In Warm Weather Well ns
COId-Scrmon by Rev. Dr. Honshton.
costly situated church Is that OF the Churcn of
the TRANSPORTATION, located In East Twenty-ninth
street. Fifth avenue. 1t IL embowered amid trees
and shrubbery, and one can sit within its quiet pre-
cincs and listen to the music of the b rds who sit
and sing in the branches OF the surrounding foliage
and almost imagine himself IN the country Nor Is
this novel characteristic an outside one alone.
Within the ednce Is low and built in that quaint,
gothic style of architecture peculiar to country
churches
THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH
are comprised almost entirely OF wealthy people.
Situated In locality where are the homes of MANY
of the most prominent men, both IN business and
social circles, it has naturally drawn into Its folds
an unusual number OF this desirable class. Yet the
congregation are noted for pOteness in accommo-
dating strangers, and they thus display kind and
Christian feeling which is not always associated with
wealth.
THE MUSIC
must always please even musicay cultured ears.
The organist OF the church is Mr.. Albert W. Berge
the eminent composer, and his reputation as one OF
our first Organists has long been fully established
paid choir has always been distaseful to the pas
tor Of the church, SO that the only vocal mvsic ever
heard within its walls Is made by number OF theO-
logical students, who give their services without fee
or reward.
The pastor, the Rev. DIR. Houghton, is a minister
greatly beloved by his flock. He Is plain, unas-
sumng man, and although he does great deal OF
work 1t Is performed In such quiet way as to be
scarcely known outside his own congregation.
The church yesterday was fairly attended for so
warm day. The day being Trinity Sunday the
sermon preached was appropriate to the occasion.
The pastor took his text from the first episte OF st.
John, fourth chapter and the nineteenth and twen-
ty-nrst verses. It was as follows:-"We love Him
because He first loved us; and this commandment
have we from Him, that He
WHO LOvBTH GOD LOvETH HIS BROTHER ALSO"
The season which the day commenced was one OF
the most important Of the year. 1t embraces TWEEN.
ty-fve Sundays. The passages read for morning
and evening prayer during this season are such as
must CLAIM most careful and serious attention. It
will be noticed that the system OF the Church Is that
Of God himself To believe In the son Of God must
ever be the first step toward Christian life ana
another must be to keep His holy win and COM
Uandment& We should be faithful w all things, Ia

The attendance at the churches yesterday was
vislbly affected by the weather Fine enough to IN.
duce the butterflies of fashion TO appear In their
most gorgeous toilets and costumes, it was too
warm to allow any extra dressing, and SO oppres-
sve as to forbid almost any attempt at display.
The result was that the churches generally were
very poorly attended. In the Catholic churches this
being in the octave OF the festival of Corpus Christi
the services were peculiarly fine. The sermons in
majority OF the churches were out of the ordinary
orthodox style and IRON the reports given below
will be found to be interesting, instructive and In
some cases quite novel.

Roback's Stomach Buffers

Some time ago, DR.. Rooack, of Cincinnati,
through his agent in this place, J. A Maxwell
Esq placed in our hands bottle of his Stomach
Bitters, designed for dyspepsia, to give tone to
the stomach, as preventive against the bilious
complaints incident to the western country
and upon using it, we regard it as second to none
in America abroad. To be able to staie con-
fdently that the Bitters are a certain cure for
dyspepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietor
n source of unalloyed pleasure. 1t removes all
morbid matter from the stomach, puri6es the
blood, imparts renewed vitality to the nervous
system, giving it that tone and energy so indis-
penssble for the restoration of health. The nu-
merous Acknowledgements Of its superior excel
fence and bene6cent results, have assured the
proprietor that it cannot but prove a great cure
in the afflicted, and import vitality to the thor
ough system. We advise those who use bitters
to use none but Roback's, which can be obtained
at J. A. Maxwelrs Drug Store, in Upper San
dusky.
