The service of the Christian denomination includes
the communion every Sunday Immediately after the
sermon, and, as member. the President romans
with other members for this purpose. His moth !:
and wife are also COMMITMENTS. No other church
attended by any President, within many years. ct

Lincoln went TO the New-York Avenue Presbyterian
Church, then called DR.. Gurleys Church. Though
not large edce it is of brick, with two floors, an
organ loft, and furnished with steople like city
church. 1t is O. short distance from the White
