at the First, Baptist church Rev. e. w.
Warren, D. D., the new pastor ofthe church,
preached bis first sermon In the morning to
very large congregation. Selecting as his
text II. Corinthians, J., 14-FWe are your
rejoicing, even as ye also are ours he de-
duced as his theme the reciprocal influence
of pastor and people. He made these two
points 1. The church is (under Cody just
uhat the pastor makes it. 2. The pastor is
(under God) just ,ohat The church makes bin.
These points we're elaborated, illustrated,
and enforced In most earnest, practical, ap-
propriate, and telling Introductory sermon,
which seemed to make profound impression
on all who heard it. Indeed, the new pastor
seems to have taken right hold of the hearts
of bis hearers and to have entered upon his
pastorate under the most promising auspices.
At the communion five persons were re-
ceiyed into the full fellowship of the church.
1t Graee.Street church the pastor re-
ceiYed seven persons into full fellowship at
the communion.
At the Second church the pastor baptized
one person at night.
At Sidney the pastor received three per.
sons into the full fellowship of the church.
At Pine.Street church one person was re-
celYed for baptism after the sermon IN the
morning by the pastor.
At Leigh.Street church in the morning the
services were especially adapted to the young
people of the congregation, the choir and
| Sunday school scholars occupying the galle-
ries and singing the songs used Ia the school.
| The subject of Rev. DR.. Garlick's discourse
was early piety, as illustrated in the history
of Samuel. His text WAS from part OF the
4th verse OF 1st Samuel Sd chapter; " The
/ Lord called Samuel, and he answered, Here
| am T." After the sermon a young man
was baptized. -, = ..,'.,.,., ...s,s,..
