THE ELEVENTH ANNIvERsARY OF THE
NJ. E. CHURCH EXTENSION SOCIETY.
The occasion of the Eleventh Anniver
|sary of the NJ. Z. Church Extension So
ciety last night, filed every available
space in the Opera House, with an attract
tive and appreciatiye audience.
Bishop Simpson presided.
The musical programme was rendered
by large choir from the different Metho-
dist churches, lead by II. F. Pickels, and
with Miss Anna Pickles and Mr.. Ferd
Fullmer at the organs.
The exercises were openedwit singing
and the Rev. DR.. Hatfield, of Philadel-
phia, read the S4th Psalm.
Bishop Peck, of Columbus, Ohio led in
prayer.
Rev. DIR. Kynet of New York, Secreta-
ry and Treasurer ofthe Society, read his
annual report which, however, embraced
but ten months in the year. The balance
on hand at the commencement of the
year was S4076.64. The receipts from
collections were $5S,390,31 and from in
terest on loans $50, 1856; total, $S7,516.-
26. The disbursements were $57,55S,61.
and $15. $50 loaned on accounts, leaving Il
balance of S16,207,65. $13,930 was do
mated, and S1O,650 loaned to churches
makingan overdraw on the Treasury OF
$S,372,32. The decrease as compared
with last year, was 81, 2,676,S7 in contribu-
Itions, and $500, 80 on interest on loans;
total decrease S11,5SS,67. The report
then alluded to the causes of this deficien
cy, which was attributed to the general
lstagnation of business, which threw So
many persons out of employment. The
number of churches crippled by debt Wa,
greater than ever before. One church in
the West was instanced that had but goi
debt of $4,000 liquidated, when Il storm
, blew it down.
The grasshopper plague in the West
. was instanced as one of the causes of the
want of a proper support, but with all the
: drawbacks, the Society had been enabled
to relieve 1S2 churches.
Rev. J. o. Peck, d. D., of Baltimore.
, made the leading address of the evening,
, and spoke in an interesting strain for over
an hour. His theme was Church EXten-
| sion, and he said that the edifices erected
} for public worship now claimed a follow
2 ing of IL 100000 people.
The audience, led by the choir, then
! sang the hymn commencing:
I clear what God, the Lord hath spoken.
J., Bishop Foster was next introduced, but
r on account of the lateness of the hour he
{ declinedto make an address, and said he
b would give his time to Chaplain McCabe.
, The latter made q brief but interesting
9 address, after which collection was tax
:, en- up for the benefit of the Church Exten
sion Society.
J. Latter the collection, the Chaplain sang
in touching strains, beautiful selection
called the "Lost Chord" The demon
lstrations of the audience brought him
again to the front, when he sang patriot
lie selection called, s'The Sword of Bunk
E er Hill. Each peace rendered, only in
creased the applause of the audience
te when he again came forward and sang
The Trundle Bed," after which the dol
AS ology was sang, and the 'benediction pyc
n. nounced by Bishop Bowman.
