The Evangelical Alliance.

New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE seventh and last
day OF the General Conference of the Evangeli-
cal churches was an extremely busy one.
Meetings were held almost unnterruptedly
from 10 a. m. ST. PauPs Methodist Episcopal
and Fourth Avenue Presbyterian church were
crowded until half-past one o'clock, when the
speakers left to take part in the general meet
ings in Association Hail. commencing at two
p. m.
In Association Hall, which was the principal
point OF attraction, as usual a meeting was
neid, lastlng from ten a. m, to one D. m. 30
large was the attendance that solid mass OF
people, eight or ten deep, were packed together
at the end of the hall, unable to find Sitting
room.
Prof. Harris Jones of Trevicca College,
Walesread a paper on Christianity as a reform
ing power. He first treated of the intimate
connection between religion and morals at all
times, SO that even pagans, who did not hest
tate to attribute the most shameful crimes to
their gods, yet made them the guardians of the
public morality. Then he showed the failure
of false religion and success of Christianity in
coming to set up the most perfect standard OF
morality and reform. Not only social and do
nestle life, but even its services.
st. Pauis Methodist Episcopal church was
comfortably filed Rev. Mr.. Foss presided.
The general topic for the day was ''Christian
Philanthrophy." Rev. Thomas A. Avellng of
London, read the first paper entitled "Hos-
pitals." He said it was reserved for Chris
tianity to inaugurate a new era in humanity:
Look upon all phIlanthropical institutions OF
the world, and ask whence sprung them all.
The first hospital the world saw was founded
in Constantinople by the bishop of that city. 1t
was to the New Testament that John Howard
owed the impulse that sentihim forth to minis
tering to the suffering world. Who, before
Christianity suggested it, thought of redeeming
captives taken in war?
In London there are nine bundled different
charities founded to help humanity. In five
charities in London the amount of money ex-
pended is incredible. Andrew Reid founded

THE POPULAR LINE TO NEW YoRK-Of all
the lines between Boston and New York, none
possess more real advantages, or give to the
travelling public greater satisfaction, than the
old, reliable. Stonington Line. The steamboat
express train which leaves the Boston & Provi-
dence Railroad depot at Boston at $50 p. m. is
composed of new and elegant day coaches aud
magnificent reclining chair cars, all equipped
with Miller's patent safety platform and West
inghouse air brakes, safeguards which no other
steamboat line possesses Prompt connections
are made at Stonington with the elegant steam
ers of this line, the popularity of which is es-
tablished by the large number of passengers

The steamer Rhode Island, entirely new, is
justly termed the "Queen of the Sound" while
her consort, the favorite steamer Stonington, is
equalled by few. This line lands its passen-

lines. For safety, speed, comfort, and sure
connections there is no better line between

AFTER Hrs Enthusiastically night coun-
tryman, accompanied by his dulciana, attended
Barnum's concert at Music Hall. Stepping up
to the box office he called for two of the best
seats to be had and was politely handed two
reserve seat tickets the ticket seller at the
time observing that they were for seats "down
stairs" meaning of course on the lower floor of
the hall. The countryman, however, mistook
the meaning of the expression ('down stairs, %
and construed it literally. So tucking his sweet
heart under his arm he ambled down the broad
flight of stairs leading to the sidewalk and af-
ter looking about for few moments, inquired
of the policeman ''where those internal seats
were," and stated what had been told him.
Officer Hanson concealfng broad smile, put
him on the right track.
