Yesterdays Proceedings = The Good Work
Progressing

AT the morning meeting at DR.. Domer's church
there was full attendance and the interest mani
tested gave great encouragement to those Chris
tians who are still willing to labor earnestly in
the vineyard Of the Lord. The Bible-readIng was
conducted by the Rev. DR.. Gray, who read and CON-
mented upon the 9th chapter of Judges.
Among the many requests for prayer. both writ
ten and verbal, were the following: For three
to be Christians but are so easily led into tempta
ton; for my husband, with whom the Spirit is
striving; for my sister, by brother; for q friend
who is drawn down by drink; for my dear father
and brother; for my son in Kansas; for my son,
who has taste for gambling; for the conversion
Of son and his wife; for my wife and children.
Rev. Mr.. WOrthington led in prayer for the
above, after which praise meeting and an in
quiry meeting was held.
Those who have imagined that the departure
OF Messrs. Hammond and Bentley would be fol-
lowed by great decline in the religious interest
that had been felt while they were In the city
should have been present last evening at the Con-
gregational church, and witnessed the deep feel
ing and earnest spirit that animated the large
audience that thronged that building. Rev. DR..
Rankin presided, and Mr.. Stewart, Of the Y. NJ
Q. A., read the 9Th chapter OF Mark, making com
ments upon the same. Eloquent and affecting
addresses were made by Rev. Mr. worthington
Drs. DOmer and Hammond. Many of the recent
converts spoke briefly, and large number arose
for prayers.

the Recommendation Of being an economical one
Fer seven or eight hours of the night but LITTLE
water is drawn from the pipes, and Is therefore a
reservoir would collect 1t and distribute 1t the
supply. 0-
Major General Babcock and his assistant. MIR.
Samo, think that the present distributing reser-
yolr might be extended and thus supply the def
cheney. 1t would be an incaIcuIabIe good 70
and carried out.
To the question of your Committee. fnouir.
ing whether the Potomac water uniformly dis
triputed through washington would secure
greater pressure, Mr.. Same answers: sComnari
lively uniform distribution Of water can be insured
in any city, If II is divided into districts each fs
trict mapped in reference to altitude and provided
with a main proportional to its area
The quality Of the Potomac water is shown nv
the analysis made last year under the direction
of the Surgeon General Of the United States
army.
The following table Is the result:
the quantities are in ten millions, or SO many
in ten ltres Of water, equivalent TO
SO many grains in one hundred and seventy -one
gallons: Chlorine, 400; ammonia, OIL; albumenoid
U.oZ; permungomate potash, 32.4."
VI course, these are the products OF decoinposi-
ton Of animal and vegetable matter
Inc fotomac water is as regards hardness
Iatner petter than the average of rivers being
Ten and four tenths degrees Of Clafk's scale
Your committee conclude, therefore. that one or
TWO more reservoirs and water mains would NOT
secure to our people q suficiency OF water. but
water that would well compare with the nr1rest
water supplied to any other city.
