RELIGIOUS SERVICES YEsTERDAY-Th ar
rival Of the Fall and the consequent return to
the city of those whose health required or
whose fancy prompted trip to the springs or
other summer resorts, produced a marked i'm
provement in the size Of the congregations
present in some of the churches yesterday. In
Christ Church the services were conducteG by
Rev. Dr. Packard in ST. Pauls Lecture ROOM
by Rev. Mr. Stringfellow; in the lst Presby-
terrain by Rev. D. K. Campbell; in the NJ. 7.
Church by Rev. DR.. Little The pulpits Of the
other churches were filled by the resident clergy
with the exception of that of Grace Church,
which was unoccupied. The following is
report of the work done during the day
by the Young Mems Christian Association =
The Mission Sabbath School on the fish wharf
was we'll attended by teachers and scholars, aud
the results satisfactory to the former. The
Aims House services were thoroughly sustained
in interest and number with full committee at
work. The Jail work lacked its usual interest,
owing to some difficulty 90 the premises; the
committee were on hand in full force however.
The open air meeting at the canal basin was
not so gratifying 10 Its character as heretofore;
the work was performed with zeal, but the boat
men were backward in attending the services.
The open air meeting at the corner OF klng
aud Fayette streets was not so numerOusly at.
tended as heretofore, but there was full corps
of workers on hand, and the exercises were con-
Quoted with spirit and with understanding,
the congregation giving good attention TO the
remarks made. The open air meeting on the
Tunnel was very largely attended, the exercises
were of the most stirring character, and the
hearts of the full band of workers gladdeued by
the interest taken by the assemblage in the SER
vices. The Sunday prayer meeting in the 2nd
Presbyterian Church was as fully attended as
usual, the precious re union Of the churches.
The earnest prayers, the soul stirring singing,
the tervent addresses, and the special prayer
for the conversion of soul laboring for its re-
turn to the Saviour, made the occasion one OF
the happiest in the history of this activity OF
the Association This prayer meeting will be
held next Sunday in the LIST Presbyterian

Hs-NATURE's APPEALS FOR HELP.-Every
indication of debility and exhaustion is a mute
appeal of Nature for medicinal aid to arrest the
progress of decay. How are these silent appeals
of physical weakness to the resources of the

TOMS Whoever recommends drastic purga-
tives or mineral salvants, or poisonous aka
loids, under such circumstances, is an ally of
the ailment and an enemy of the patient Who
ever, on the contrary, advises the bro ken down
and desponding sufferer to resort to that peer,
less vegetable invigorant, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, for aid and comfort is a true phianthro-
pist. 1t is safe to say that there never was an
instance in which such advice was given and &C
cepted without the happiest results. From the
very depths of weakr ess and dependency thou.
sands have been restored to vigor, health and
cheerfulness by the renovating operation of this
wholesome stimulant and Alternative. All It's
medicinal ingredients are remarkable for their
sanatve properties and in combination form an
absolute specific for indigestion, liver complaint
nervous affections, rheumatism, intermittent
and rcmittcnt fevers, general and local weak
ness, and every species of disorder incident to Il
change of season or climate. The stimulative
