1 1A ] the North church was very good, but th' galleries, as usual, were almost unoccupied 1 though affording convenient seats for large audience. Rev. Dr. Hawes read at the open ing the last half of the eleventh chapter o1 Matthew's gospel, the two closing verses pro ducing their quiet consoling influence on the minds of all 'Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden IS light. '' His text was Psalms, xxxll, 5, words almost equally precious and assuring, II will 1n- struct thee and teach thee in the way that thou shalt go will guide thee with mine eye" The parental care of God as the great father shown by this text is felt by every be- liever of his word. The daily experience of every life confirms it's truth, but the true Christian and the godly man only know and feel it's truth. The experience of Noah, of Moses, of Elijah was delineated as conspic- uous confirmation of Gods guidance and care. From Gods rich bounty all can have their full supply. His strength is ever pres ent to aid our weakness
 Rev. Dr. Goodsell preached at Wesley chapel yesterday morning discourse heard with intense interest by large congregation. The basis of his remarks was ''the necessity of being reverent in the service of God" The text was Leviticus 10th and 10th: "That ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean" A reveren- tial mind he said sees the great things of God and Is awed by them. Reverence ought to enter into all our services He explained that great injury is done unwittingly in Gods service by irreverence Strained gestures comicality of tone, gymnastic movements of the body were forces which often brought religious work into disrepute Christianity was hurt more today by the cold and icy cultuyo that comes from the world than by the thoughtful lives and earn est devotion of uncuitured disciples. Guard against adiectives which lead the mind to friyolity The pastor spoke of the different phases of irreverence, the use Of slang words by some who would not take Gods name in vain, and yet the use of which often begets spirit of irreverence. The senti- ment of the text was then very ably en- forced.
 In the evening meeting of the New Ha- ven Temperance association was held and speeches were made by Dr. Goodsell, Rev. Mir. Mossman, Charles A. Baldwin and others.

 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 "Our Boys," which was to have been given by the new stock company at the New Haven Opera House this evening, has been postponed for reasons which the following card from Miss Cummings will give:
 January 8, 1882. To the Editor of JOURNAL COURIER:
 DEAR SI.-In pursuance of my determination to give New Haven regular theatrical company, worthy alike of its people, its press and myself, have de- termined to make such changes will materially strengthen my company and augment it's excellence Finding of it's membera incompetent and others unreliable, and being unable to produce ''Our Boys tomorrow night with that careful rehearsal and detail properly demanded, I have deter mined to postpone it's initial production, and to pro cure adequate ret resentation feeling that the cultured intelligence of New Haven would prefer a temporary delay to an artistic disappointment which would be alike unjust to them, to the profes sion and to the theatre, and to yours truly.
 Very sincerely,
