iority of the church members favored that good
old custom OF closing tile season Of divine wor-

and, through the Chairman Of the Music COM
n,ittce directed Mr.. Osborne. the or!.anist, TO
play the doxology at the close Of the service,
before the beueuictiun. Mr. Osborne stated to
MIR. Winsluw and AIR. Wiltshire, aud Others, that
Dr.. Skinner forbade it; put the gentlemen ln-
sisted, and told hiln to 90 on with the do1ulo.y,
