The first session Of the convention of Christian
Workers, under the auspices of the Young Mems
Christian Association, of this city held at Lin
coin hall last evening. For the Indictment weather
there was large attendance. Prof J. W. Chick

prayer occupied fifteen minutes followed by o
: very appropriate address by Prof Chickering.
After the address and singing the Professor in

weeks in the year. He then went on to illustrate

The whole exercise was most instructive and

m Q very prosperous condition. The increase in
the number Of members has been gradual, but
not rapid. From less than two hundred members

in 1875 to 49, in 1876 to $50 and 1877 finds Il with
AS. The total number Of deaths since Its organi-
ration has been 80. The number suspended for non
payment of dues is less than the number OF
deaths-a fact highly creditable to the 'associa-
ton. During its existence the association has
paid in Dement'S s12,lSs. During the past
twelve months ten members have died, and their
families have received an average sum of $40, or
S4,T00. The average amounts paid into the asso-
citation by the deceased was S22.97. or the bene-
feiaries eight were widows, one q father, and in
one instance the amount went to the sisters Of
the deceased. The assets of the association
amount TO 2,o5s.55. Liabilities not dollar.

Asthere has been great dearth of lectures
and concerts In this city for more than year we
bespeak full house for the above eminent d.
vine OF Brooklyn, who lectures at the Congregs
uonal church to night. No man in the Amer
lean pulpit has earned so enviable q reputation In
80 short time as Mr. Talmsge. His great power
LEE in his earnestness of manner and terseness Of
language. There are not wanting those who
think the mantle so long worn by Beecher To-
floating Talmage-ward. The many friends of
Mr.. M. b. Cushman, who lie Instrumental In pro-
curing hr. Talmage will doubtless show a due
appreciation Of his services by their presence at
