THE CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH
of the Independent Society" This soci-
ETY. was formed about twelve years ago as
the result of the labors of the Rev c. \.
Allen, and the members were gathered
from the congregations which we have al
ready visited. Joining them for Il service
we are ushered into an extremely pleasant
auditorium with frescoed walls and cell
ings. The pews are of ash. trimmed with
black walnut, and the organ loft in the
rear of us and the chance and pulpit in
front in front of us are models of neatnes,
and good taste. The organ stands in a re-
cess so that only the front of it is displayed.
While waiting the arrival of the minister
we look about. The most noticeable person
there without doubt is Judge Baldwin.

of age, is one of the most constant

j. Edward Wright-appears by Il passage
in the rear of the pulpit and the organist
MIR. Wheaton, plays an appropriate volun-
tary from the printed score. Amoment of
silence follows, thoughtfully, almost sadly,
for the commandments rather the CON
tinuation-of the service. An atmosphere
of solemnity seems to be here which
touches all hearts. There is something in
form and manner we cannot deny. OF the
devotional services we will not say more
than that they are earnest, that the Lords
prayer is recited bv the congregation and
that responses to the prayers are played
unless sung by the choir-upon the organ.
As a preacher Mr., Wright is the pride of
his people, and II favorite with all who
know him. He is man of ripe scholar

earnest in his eXtempore prayers. Both in
the pulpit and out of it he is much esteem

the organist, and the Sunday school is held
