! The gathering of Christian Diyines at Stein
way Hall Yesterday was the most remarkable
religious convention ever held in America. 1t
embraced representatives OF every Christian
sect except the Roman Catholic Church, when
was in communion with it only by letters.
| Representative men from every state OF Eu-
rope and from countries of Asia joined with
| those of America. And though OF these Yail-
GUS nationaliues and different crceds, all met
under one common bond of brotherhood and
of one belief and certainly their conference
thus far has been of peace and good viii.
The Hall at Fourteenth-st. was filed before
| 10 o'clock a. m the hour named for the for
NAL organization of the General Conference OF
! the Evangelical Alliance. Every seat in the
large building was occupied, and in the gentle
agitation of the audience was plainly visible
the nervous feeling which the Importance OF
the occasion inspired. The aisles, half way
from the entrance to the stage, were crowded
with gentlemen, and ladies as WELL in impro-
vised seats; and there were many. OF both
sexes standing lin the side and main aisles of
the galleries. Seldom has more intelligent,
and certainly never q more seemingly devout
audience assembled within this Hall.
On the stage were gathered very many of
those who were prominent on the stage OF
Association Hall the previous evening. In adj
