The WORKS OF Con IN AMERICA.--Rey.
Johu Bayley delivered very interesting lee
tlwe at Union Station Methodist church
Tuesday night. Subject: "The Works of
God in America from the Earliest Period to
the Present Time"
The lecture contained historical sketches of
the rise and progress of the early churches of
Virginia, New England, and the Mississippi
Valley. It also gave statistics of the strength
of the different denominations Of the present
time, proving that the evangelical denomina,
tions were largely in the ascendency, and
that the experiment of free churches in a
free State is not failure. Sketches also of
the work of God among the American IN
dians and the colored people of the South.
He gave also some highly important facts in
connection with the large increase of Chi
nese matcralists and pagans in the Pacific
States, and closed with an earnest appeal to
the congregation for cooperation in the work
of home eyangelization.
This lecture was very highly spoken of by
those who were present.
