NOTES.
Congress Street Cb,,rch

On Saturday evening the many friends aud
parishioners of Rev. and Mrs. A. S. Ladd called
at the pastorate and not only presented them
with many valuable tokens of their love and
esteem, but also gave them handsome purse
of money through Miss Clara Laughlin, to
which Rev. Mr. Ladd appropriately responded.
Rev. Mr.. Randall offered prayer.
Yesterday the effort was made to raise the
church debt of $4700. The ladies' assumed
5000 of the debt. In the afternoon the whole
$4,700 was raised and something more, and at
the evening session enough additional was Sc
cured to lift the 5000 from the ladies. 1t may
be interesting in this connection to state that
since the erection of the church in 1866,
interest money has been paid to the amount of
$1,000, enough to build fine church. Bish-
op Peck presided at the raising of the debt
and the subscriptions came in handsomely.
Rev. Mr.. Ladd can congratulate himself on
his parish and we know that he will be parted
with by his'parishioners with great regret, for
he has worked faithfully and we'll.

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
PARK STREET CHURCH.

Yesterday Rev. DIR. Hedge, of Cambridge,
Mass, preached at Park street church an adj
mirable sermon from Phillipians:-''To die to
me is a gain" The idea advanced by the
preacher was that death is but bridge be-
tween this life and the next; that whatever
we desired the future life to be that it would
be. A man who possessed healthy mind and
body desired life, and that only person of
diseased Or morbid condition of mind and body
craved death. Death is good thing because
it is so established. All things in nature have
to die, and humanity could not be expected to
be exempt. If, then, it was right for plants
and flowers to die it was right that man should.
Nobody would wish to live forever unless they
could live with all faculties and physical pow
ers unimpaired.
The congregation was very large one. In
the evening the doctor announced that he
should deliver his lecture on "Buddha or the
Light of ASIA The doctor was suffering
from very severe cold.
