looking ahead twenty-five years for its best in

THE CHILDREN's CoNCERT.-The concert
given by the children of Mr.. w. L. Fitch's af-
ternoon singing school, at Fluent Hall, on Sat-
urday evening" was most delightful enter
tainment, and gave the utmost pleasure to the
small but appreciative audience. The bright,
smiling faces of the children, and their clear,
sweet voices blending in perfect unison, made
the scene remarkably brilliant and attractive.
The programme was excellent and nearly
every piece received the warmest tokens of APP
proval. OF the choruses, Keller's American
Hymn and Kotzschmars Christmas Carol were
the most noticeable The gem of the evening
was the beautiful duet from the Haymakers
entitled, Sweet Morn, which was rendered by
the Misses Leavitt, in thoroughly artistic
manner, and ELECTED an enthusiastic encore
Miss Leavitt also received an encore for her
fine rendering of the solo to Keller's American
Hymn. The first encore of the evening was
Luke's Cathedral Choir, for the admirable
manner in which he sung the solo to the hui
morous song, We Never Could Keep Still
Miss Burpee presided at the piano in a very ac-
of a high character, and Mr.. Fitch may well be
congratulated on the success which has SO
abundantly crowned his efforts. We trust that
il will be repeated at an early day, so that a
larger number of our citizens may have an op-
portunity to enjoy this rich musical treat.

RETURNING THANKS for past favors, 1 would re-
spectfully invite you to No. IS Commercial street. di
recty opposite the Clock in Thomas Block, where
can be found large and fine assortment Of the best
grades of ST. LOUIS FLOUR. Having determined to
give my exclusive attention to Flsur Alone shall
make it point to purchase that will fail to give
perfect satisfaction: The following will give some
idea of my success in selecting good -four. During
the year that occupied the Japan Tea Store, ending
Nov. retaed 1000 bbls. of flour; 400 consecutive
barrels without the return of single one, and only
IA bbls were returned during the entire year. This
unusual success was largely owing to the quality of
-four selected, and partly in the manner which it was
sold and that was to recommend precisely what
would prove to be. This will be my future course
My flour will all be bought from first hands direct
which will enable to retail it at the lowest whole
sale prices As have record of every barrel of
-four previously sold, and the purchasers name by
reference to which can judge very nearly what grade
OF flour will suit the same customer

LEcTURE.-At st. Luke's Cathedral last eve
ming Bishop Nicely delivered the second of
series of lectures descriptive of the principal
events of the great triennial convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. held at Baltimore
in October, the special theme of the lecture be-
ing the action of the House of Bishops on the
subject of Holy Baptism. The Bishop COM
menced with touching allusion to the death of
Bishop Davis, of South Carolina, which oc-
CURED on Sunday evening last, even as the
speaker was referring to his noble utterances at
the convention. The Bishop then proceeded to
discuss several of the principal acts of the con-
vention, and among these were the establish
ment of a new Hymnal, the revival of the an
cient order of readers and deaconesses, and the
progress of the church in Italy. "On last Sun
day evening 1 alluded to the functions of the
general convention but did not comment upon
any of its principal acts. The action of the
House of the Bishops upon the subject of Holy
Baptism was made early in the session of the
convention at the request of nine of its mem
bers. The declaration as to the meaning of the
word degenerate" had most marked and
salutary effect upon the House of Bishops and
upon the convention in general come now to
the significance of the word regenerate." In
view of the utterances of the catechism upon
this subject no special definition of the word
was deemed necessary. But regeneration is
one thing and conversion another. OF the for
mer the infant is capable, while of the latter he
clearly is not l have never heard it affirmed
that a moral change is wrought in the ordinance
of baptism, for the word regenerate has no such
significance. But spiritual change is clearly
wrought, and the Bishops would have been fal
from denying it. 1t is great spiritual change
to be received into the church of God, but 9
moral change can only be effected by proper
use of the spiritual change thus accomplished
The church believes that baptism is no mere
formal ceremony, but on the contrary she BIDS
ana entreats parents to bring their children tt
her IN this holy ordinance. The declaration Of
the House of Bishops that the word ''regener
ATE does not necessarily involve any mora
change was measure which will be of infinite
benefit to the church, as it will forever SET al
rest this long discussed and pernlexing ouest;or
and enable her to go forward with now novo,
and efficacy in the great work of the sa,rot;or
of souls. In closing, the Bishop made o., 90 -,
est appeal to parents to allow their cb;ldro,, a,
