CHURCH NoTEs.-Rev. A. s. Perkins of Cas-
co street, preached from 1. Samuel xx:3:-
"There is but step between me and DEATH"
In the exposure of all to the liability of sudden
death allusion was made to the circumstance
of the Brooklyn disaster, where over three hum
dred met death so suddenly. The liability of
sudden death alluded to by David is because
there are interests involved that are among the
greatest of all interests. That the thought of
death while daily attending to ones duties
does not necessarily interrupt the mind for APP
plication to life's affairs. And whether we
think and prepare for it, or not, it will come
will do its work.
The meetings at the Allen Mission yesterday
afternoon and evening were fully attended, and
the expositions of the Scripture by Capt Dut-
ton had the undivided attention of the audi
ence. The interest is so great that these gospel
temperance and revival meetings will be con :
timed This evening Capt Dutton and Mrs.
Annie E. Smith of Star of Hope Mission, New
