MISSIONARY ANNIvERsARY.-The mis-
sionary anniversary Of the Fourth
street NJ. E. Church was held last night.
The large auditorium was filled with
an attentive and delighted audience.
The occasion was the annual offering
of such sums as the Sabbath School
classes had raised for missionary pur-
poses. The anniversary was a most
delightful one, both to the children and
the audience generally. The notices
Of the different classes were excellent
and the emblems in keeping with the
names of the classes. A large cross
trimmed with evergreens and flowers,
stood in front of the organ aud just
over the pulpit, and on either side aDd
around this were placed the emblems of
the classes.
The exercises opened by the singing
of"Watchmau, tell US Of the Night"
by the fine choir connected with the
church, in a most effective style. After
a few remarks by DR.. Westwood, the
audience united in singing that grand
old missionary hymn. From Green
lands Icy Mountains" As the beauti-
ful melody swelled from the thoats OF
the vast audience, we thought we had
never listened to anything grander in
our life. A duette and chorus, THAT
Happy Time is Coming" was then sung
by the members Of the Sabbath School
DR.. Westwood introduced Rev. Mr..
Knox, of Kansas, who, in ten min
utes speech, interested the audience
greatly. He is an easy and pleasant
speaker, and one who seems to under
stand talking to the little people.
The anthem 1--WE Praise Thee" was
sung by the Sabbath School, and after
it Hon. C. D. Hubbard addressed the
congregation for about twenty minutes
very effectively.
After the anthem, Hozzanna," had
been rendered by the choir, DR.. T. II.
Logan, Superintendent Of the Sabbath
School, called on the classes for their
contribution. AS the number and name
of each class was called, it brought its
emblem, if it had one, its motto. and a
text Of scripture and poctical selection
appropriate thereto. AS we were not
advantageously located for hearing, and
not having been furnished with copy
OF the notices, we cannot give them,

some OF the classes. We feel confident
that We have not got the name
