SUNDAY SCHOOL JObLA'LAn-. NGA 80
Street M +, Church was literally packed
yesterday afternoon, with the pupils Of its
own Sunday School and those Of North
Street Chapline Street, Zane Street,
Thomson Chapel and the German schools
OF the same denomination. A very at.
tractive programme had been prepared
for the jubilee occasion, and hundreds oil
the parents and friends Of the scholars
were in attendance to hear and partici'
pate in the exercises. The weather was
uncomlortably hot, but so much enthusi.
asm was raised by tho sweet singing oil
the little Ones, and the pithy and appro.
pirate addresses, that no one manifested
any WEAKNESS. All remained quietly in
their seats until the benediction was pro-
nounced and would have remained longer,
we believe, II the programme had requir-
ed them TO do so. We never saw better
order in q crowd oil adults than that OBJ
served by the little folks, yesterday aller.
noon, and this with the mercury ranging
pretty high up in the nineties.
The exercises commenced with sing
ing that grand old hymn
From all that dwell below the BkieS,'
after when on earnest prayer was offered
by Rev. DR.. Martin. This was succeed
ed by another song, when the schools
united in a responsive Scripture reading
DR. Logan, in the absence Of Rev. DR..
Richmond, leading in the exercise, and
the audience responding. Another song
and Rev. ]. R. Thompson, pastor OF
Chapline St. 81. E. Church, was introduc.
cd and made very effective address oil
fifteen or twenty minutes. Rev. Carpenter
OF Fourth Street was TO have made tho
next speech, but was too III to be present
Volunteer addresses were now called for,
when Captain W. p. Wilson responded
in behalf Of North street school; Rev. E. j..
Stone, Thompson Chapel; Hon. G. D. Hub.
bard, Chapline street; W. Alexander,
Esqr,, of Bridgeport; Rev. Krebs, German,
and William Exley, Esq, Zane street
These speakers were limited TO three min
utes each, and were listened 10 with great
interest and delight, Each address was
supplemented with sweet song, in which
hundreds of clear, ringing voices joined,
making such music as one Is not often per.
mitted TO hear.
The musical part of the programme las
we'll as almost everything else connected
with the Jubilee) was under the direction
Of Dr.. Logan, and OF course II was grand
success. DR.. L. was ably assisted by his
daughter Miss Annie, who presided at the
organ, and acquitted herself with great
credit.
Before the benediction was pronounced,
Rev. Stone offered a resolution Of thanks
to the Trustees OF the Church for the use
of their fine audience room; also, one to
tho Committee Of Arrangements for the
completeness Of the preparations for the
occasion, thereby securing its success.
Dr.. Logan made the motion that here
after jubilecs similar to that just closed
be held semi.annually, and it prevailed by
an unanimous vote. The whole audience
then Joined in singing
aye soldiers Of the cross rise. and pat your
Armor on"
to the air "John Browns body lies moul-
derng in the grave" after which Dr..
Martin Pronounced the benedictiOn, and
the schools filed out in the order in which
they had entered. TWAS estimated that
at least one thousand teachers and pupils
were in the church, and the scene pre-.
scented from tho organ loft was at once
beautiful and impressive.
