A TINE OF ACKNOWLEDGED IGNORANCE.
The Ir n g. Peabody V CanrtIg Mass at Church Of Al Souls
(Unitdrian)
The services at the Church of All Souls, at
Fourth ave. and Twentlethst were conducted yester
day by the Rev. F. G. Peabody OF Cambridge Mass. in
the temporary absence of the Rev. DIR. Bellows. His
text was taken from JOB XVI IA "Lo, these are parts
of His ways but how little portion is heard OF Him."
