The Attendance AT the First Congregational
Church sunday evening, WAS something un-
usual IN the way of church audiences, the
BODY of the sacred edifice being d-nsely pack
| ed, the sisIes filled, and the gallery crowded
| TO such AN extent thai To admit AN additional
person was an ImpoSslbllIty. Scores who
came fasiIionably late were forced TO leave
| unfashionabiy, solely ON account Of the dii-
hculIy in obtaining even stand ng room, and
- dense was the IhrOng thai quiet discomfort
was experienced on account of the heat. IL
was a Christmas praise meeting which
had called the people together, and
seldom, II ever, has any church in
this city held such audience. Unusual
discrimination had been displayed in the se-
lection of "A choir, which was carefully train
ed. and The result was rare musical treat.
