! flavor of the public amusomonts cannot tempt
| the great mass from their church duties.

! ther lectures, mtditnt!ouS OF something ap-
| propratc to the Lcntcn season. Notable
| among these is the Church of the Advtu
| lEpiscopu) which is conducted bv four of
the Fathers of the order Of st John, Rev.
| Fathers Grafton, Hall, Osborn. and Shepard.
! and great good do :hcy do among the poor
and needy, as well n- to Hdvi,. and guide the
wealthy who form a largo proportion Of this
| cougrcg CATION This is one Of the largest aud
| best attended churches III this city, and on
| festival occasions il is next to impossible to
! gain Udmttance, so large is the attendance.
| The choir is composed of about twenty boys
and eight men, aud the music is u valuable
feature in the service, which is Of the highest
| ritualistic order. The recent mission to this
church, which has created a profound inter
est was conducted by the Rev. Knox Little
Of Manchester, England, and Rev. Mr.. Nor
