INDIA STREET CouRsp.LRey. Mr. Bickpelrs

INDIA STREET COURSE Rev. Mr.. Bicknells
lecture in the India street course last evening
was well attended and listened to with deep
interest throughout. His subject, "Spasms,'
as applied 10 its various relations to courtship
aud marriage, politics, religion and other
phases of public and private life was most
heartily denounced. Each of these several
headings was aptly illustrated by humorous
incidents and fine metaphors, the former of
which were frequently received by his audience
with laughter and applause. Taken all in all
those who attended were certainly most ex-
cellently entertained.

ST. LAWRENCE STREET CHURcH.-The SER
mon last evening was preached by Rev. w. H.
Fem from Luke xvi, 49, sit was meet that
we should make merry and be glad. for this
thy brother was dead, and is alive again, was
lost and is found" The preacher first analysed
the character of the two brothers in the par
able, and showed that the prodigal, notwith-
standing his low moral character. was the true
son, while bis brother was deficient in the ele-
ments of true Christian character. The aim of
the sermon was to show that the gospel of
Christ is for the most sinful and degraded. In
closing the preacher dwelt with great feeling
and power up) the wonderful love and grace
of God to lost sinners.
This evening Rev. Mr.. Hincks will preach.

CHURCH PEws AT AUoTIoN.-The first auc-
ton sale OF church pews which ever took place
in Portland occurred at the Chestnut street
Church last evening. There was not a very
large attendance of pswholders, and the bid
ding was rather slow. George L. Kimball act
ed as auctioneer, and after the organ music had
ceased he opened the sale. The purchaser was
to occupy the pew selected one year, and was
obliged to pay the yearly tax in addition to the
premium which he offered. The first choice
was taken by R. Il. Turner at $40. He selected
pew 30, which has tax of $75. Mr.. James
Noyes had second choice and Captain j. B.
Coyle the third at the same sum. The auctien-
eer took the fourth choice at SIS. and f. G. Pat
terson the fifth at the same price. The price
then gradually fell as low as 81. The pews
were not all sold, but the sale taken as whole
was very satisfactory. The remaining seats
will be sold at another time
