SUNDAY SERVICES.
STATE STREET CHURCH.

STATE STREET CHURCH.
Yesterday was quite an eventful day for thi 5
church, a large number of the Sunday School
Scholars presenting themselves for admission
to the church. Never before in the history of
the church have so many young persons been
admitted. The altar was very tastefully dec
GRATED with flowers. The sermon by
Mr.. Hincks was especially concerning
the younger portion of the parish, and
had for its subject "Take heed that We des-
pise not one of these little one' 1t was a fine
discourse and contained some valuable thoughts
directed to the young.
At the Close of the morning service seven per.
sons were received to membership by letter
from other churches, nineteen on profession of
faith-all members of the Sunday School.
ST. LUKE's CATHEDRAL.
The services at tine Cathedral yesterday were
very interesting At the morning service Mr..
Robert Wyie was ordained deacon. Rev. w.
S. Chadwell of Long Island, N. Y, preached
the discourse. In the evening Rev. w. S.
Southgate of Maryland, preached an able dis
course.
CONGRESS SQUARE CHURCH.
Yesterday was observed as childrens' day at
this church. The church was handsomely
decorated for the occasion, the altar being
draped in the background with flags while bas.
kets OF flowers were suspended from the ceiling
and bouquets and baskets of flowers were
placed in appropriate places in all parts of the
altar. On every gas fixture around the CALLER
les were placed cages of canary birds, whose
music during the exercises added much to the
occasion. The musio w Inv fha Sahha
scholars, who occupied seats in front. During
the services large number of children were
presented for the rite of baptism, which was
performed ly the pastor, Mr.. Gibbs. Mr..
Gibbs took for the subject of his discourse the
words in ii Cor. Sd, 17th-"Where the spirit of
the Lord is there is liberty" His discourse
was one appropriate to the days service, and
was one of his usual able efforts.
In the evening the Sunday School anniver.
sary was held, the stormy weather causing the
attendance to be smaller than in the morning
The exercises were of a very pleasing char
acter, consisting of singing and declarations
by the younger scholars. Very prominent in
the exercises was the building of the floral arch
by eleven young ladies. The arch:when com
pleted bore the following words, each in sep
arate panel: Love, knowledge, patience,
godliness, faith, meekness, Temperance, hope
and joy. A crown " as suspended frem the
center, and a cross placed under this, and all
was left in the center of the platform, making
a very pleasant appearance.
From the report of the Superintendent, f.
Nash, we learn that the whole number con-
nected with the school is 1856, an increase of 62
over last year. The cash receipts of the school
from various sources were 5O979; disburse-
ments $41023, leaving balance on hand of
$96 Sc.
= Remarks were made by the pastor, Rev. w.
E. Gibbs, and the exercises closed with the
benedction.

great The stock of G.. w. Smonton & Co.

tua, a sight of Rome was one of the highest OBJ
jects of ambition. The Coliseum was then I'M
shorn of it's grand proportions, The palace of
the Caesars, the forum, the Senate-hou 70, and
the innumerab!e mansions and neighboring
villas of luxurious patricians, were still stand
ing forth to the plebeian rustic, in all their yet
undiminished and surprising beauty. Paul. as
a man of taste and culture, might we'll he sup
posed on these accounts, to cherish the desire
of personally visiting the imperial CITY, Some
of the fine arts, besides, had there reached a
high state of relative perfection. Science,
though yet in its incipent stages, had there its
wsest expounders and most Jealous votaries.
Eloquence and oratory there rivalled and, IN
some respects, surpassed those OF Athens.
Rome too was the mistress OF the world. All
the nations of Asia and Europe were her tribu-
tares Their respective deities bad each a
niche in her ample Pantheon. From her went
forth to the ends of the earth the decisions of
senatorial wisdom and the edcts of sovereign
authority. None therefore, would blame or
disapprove the wish to see this city of renown.
Still more, Paul was by Inheritance or as ma
tive of Tarsus, a free born citizen of Rome and
might reasonably entertain strong desire to
visit the place from which be derived privi-
lege procured by others only with great
sum- Thus Rome wasito him the nucleus of
many and various associations, any OF which,
and much more all combined, would have JUS
tied in the view of his contemporaries, his
earnest and avowed intention.
Yet such considerations, even If suggested,
had little weight with this man of God His
design originated in far different motives.
There was at home small company OF per-
sons to whom he was attracted by the magne-
tism of Christian love. Betwixt him and
them there existed an alliance nearer stronger,
and more enduring than any other. sFhey were
partakers of the like precious faith They were
possessors of the same blessed hope. They
were tue servants OF one Master. They were
the disciples of one Teacher. They were the
subjects of one Ruler. They were members of
1.-The family named of Jesus in heaven and on
EARTH For theire benefit and for his own,
Paul longed to see his brethren at Rome. Their
intercourse, even if but temporary, would be
mutually advantageous The bonds of a holy
fraternity would be drawn still closer. They
would be stimulated to patient perseverance i'll
their common course. Communion would in
crease their courage, animate their hopes, in
| flame their ZEAL quicken their spiritual sensi
bilities, and thus prepare them for whatever
