d just Reproof--We have had occasion
heretofore to notice the irreverent conduct OF
some OF the young persons who are attendants
at the afternoon services of Monumental
church 1t is exceedingly annoying to those
who are deveutly disposed to be compelled at
such a time to submit to the frivolous deport-
ment of the thoughtless and giddy, and it was
therefor with marked qualification on the part
of the members of the church that DR.. Wool
bridge interrupted his sermon Sunday after
noon, and with his attention directed to a
group of young men who were conducting
themselves in an unbecoming manner, in a
solemn and impressive voice repeated those
words of admonition which prelude the beau
tiful service of the Episcopal chureh: "The
Lord is in His holy temple, let all the earth
keep silence before him.
The rebuke was most appropriate and well
deserved, and was followed with very excellent
results. We trust that this mild reproof on
the part of the worthy rectsr will be the IN cans
of Kidding the church of the annoyance to
which it has late been subjected by thought
less persons. 'Ts
