SUNDAY CHURCH NoTEs.-Acccordin to
announcement there was a union-meeting
held at Broad-Street Methodist church Sum
day night last to hear an address by the Rev.
Y. j. Allen, D. D., IL. D., missionary to
China. All the Methodist churches in the
city were closed, and the congregation was
very large, considering the season. Bishop
Doggett presided. Rev. A. G. Brown read
the hymn beginning "Assembled at Thy
Great Commando" &c. DR.. Edwards Of
fered prayer. Bishop Doggett then intro
duced Dr.. Allen, who delivered an address
on China considered as ''The Open Door,"
1t was full of facts and deep thought, and
made profound impression. Though more
than an hour long, it was listened to with
unabated interest to the end. The intelligent
people present went away with far broad
er and better view OF China than they ever
had before. DR.. Allen makes no pretension
to oratory. He is a scholar, doing profes-
sional work in the Imperial College OF Shang-
hal. His long, foreign residence, and eX-
elusive work in another language has rem
dered him unfamiliar with his own. But
his address Sunday night will long be remem-
bered. At the close OF DR.. Aliens address
Bishop Doggett introduced Rev. A. W.
Wilson, D. D., secretary of missions, who
l
adjourned with the doxology, and benediS~
ton by Bishop Doggett.
DR.. Allen left Monday morning for Wash
ington and the East.
Rev. A. W. Wilson, D. D., missionary
secretary OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, preached an eloquent and
impressive discourse at Trinity Methodist
church on Sunday morning last to large
and attentive congregation. His subject
was g The outward development OF the in
ward work OF Christ" .s...-.Gr ...
At the Second Baptist church one person
was received into full fellowship at the com
munion. Rev. a. 3. Woodfn closed his
engagement at this church with two able
and effective sermons. t..s- #,.....sr
Mr.. Woodfin's service has been very ac-
ceptable to the church and congregation
and warmly appreciated by them. The
pastor OF the church CDR. Henry McDon-
alD has returned to the city in improved
health

Our correspondent so. G. W" mentions
some reasons why Hon. Geo. W. Hendee
should be retained as Representative of this
district in Congress. The source from which
these suggestions come makes it evident
that they are not inspired by Mr.. Hendee.
They put the case wholly from the side Of
the people, and there is obvious force in the
points thus made Nothing, we believe,
has as yet appeared indicating that Mr..
Hendee intended to crowd himself forward
as a candidate for the succession On the
other hand, there Is no reason to suppose
that Mr.. Hendee would not be willing to
continue to represent the district if a ma
jority Of the Republicans Of the district
desire him so to do. His attitude, We pre-
sumo, is the honorable one of leaving it
wholly 20 the people to say whether he shall
continue to serve them or not, in the position
which he has certainly filled with good
ability and great fidelity. Individual inter
ests are of small account, in a matter Of this
kind. The public good and public prefer
ence must govern the choice, and it is time
that such preference should be shaping itself
and finding expression.

True Way of Advertising.

We commend to the attention of the bust
ness men Of this community the following
sensitl, remarks by the Boston Posi- upon
the benefits OF advertising in newspapers :
The Ingenuity Of business men has been
taxed to the utmost during the mad Com
petition of the last score OF years to devise
the most effective means OF advertising
They have turned vandals and painted the
picturesque rocks with inefiaceable puff Of
what they could do or bad to sell. They
have printed aud distributed cards and cir
culsrs; they have framed and mounted
posters in railway stations and other pisces
where the public most cOngregate, and they
have tried many other ways of catching the
public eye. bot none have stood the test so
well, none have made such assured returns.
a. their patronage of the first class news
papers. The shrewdest business men at the
Detroit Stove Convention, held some time
age, advised the trade 10 advertise eIclu-
sivelv with the newspapers. The head OF 9
large and successful business house in New
York, who had had near ly half century 3
experience, said recently For iOrty-seven
years nine-tenths of our advertising has
been in frst-class newspapers. OF our
whole expenditure all that we regret is cor-
tanned in that other tsnth.' Advertising in
newspapers Is an art, ana those who adrer-
tise good deal seem to understand it 20 as
to make their announcements attractive
and striking. In this city, as we'll as in
others, our most successful business men
are those who do the most advertising.
They are better known at home, and espec-
islly are they better known to those who
come from other places to Boston to trade.
This is one OF the most conclunively demon
strated facts of business, and when the
Spring trade opens it viii be profitable
fact to remember"

For tho Free Press and Times
Mr.. Hendee's Successor.

bt w. u. W.
Having settled the Governor question
would it not be well for the Press to tsfe
hold Of the more important question Of Con-
gresham? We, of the third district, would
like to know who is thought of as Mr..
Hendee's successor. As one Of the people, |
take the liberty to suggest that Mr.. Hendee
should De his own successor. Unless the
Office he holds is intended as qualification
Of aspiring or ambitious politicians who are
impatientN awaiting their turn, in the DIFF
feren. parts Of the district-it experience
counts for anything as qualification for dis
charging the duties of the Office successfully,
is not Mr.. Hendee the very man to be his
own successor? Have we ever had man
in Congress who has more promptly and
heartily responded to the appeals Of his con
stituents, in behalf OF measures embraced
within the scope Of Congressional services?
Have not the few years spent in Congress
fitted him to do US more and better service
in the future? Have not our able Senators
acquired inhuence in the councils of the
Senate chambers, and q national reputation
worthy of them and worthy of US. not
only by their eminent ability, but also by
their experience Do VIC not need just
such men in the House? Doubtless
there are worthy men awaiting the
honor, and no one would be hap
pier than to help them reach the goal
of their ambition but only few can be
gratifed and is not the public welfare of
greater importance When we have found
a man who does US good service AMI grow
ing more and more capable of doing better
and better work for US, is it not the best
policy to keep him at work in the same
line? How is it that Prentiss, Collaner,
Phelps, Slade, Foot. Morrill, and Edmunds,
and few others might name, have come
to occupy 50 high place among statesmen
Not merely on account of superior ability,
but because we kept them where their tai
ents might tell upon their own fame and
be wrought into the national history.
Why not repeat the experiment
Do those States who are constantly chang
ing their representatives in Congress ever
acquire any influence there, except tho inda-
ence of party? Almost anybody who could
be thought of, or could even think Of himself
for Congress, would be intelligent enough to
interpret the crack of the party whip {;
but aside from his ability to vote according
to the requirments Of party subserviency,
of what account can new member be in
shaping legislation, unless he is a very re-
markable man?
Is not experience quite as valuable, as
any qualification, except it he pure and
upright character, which should ever bc
preeminent and paramount to all other
qualities in public servant?
