JottfnRs From Various Pu1ptts in the
 City.
 Rev. Mir. Harris preached thoughtful and impressive discourse last evening at the St. John street M. E. church on "The Harmony Between the Divine and Human in Christ. :" He powerfully touchee upon doctrinal points connected with the subject and was heard with due attention.
 Rev. Dr. Todd preached at the Church Of the Redeemer yesterday morning an impress i've sermon from the text, 'But God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our: Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucifed unto me and unto the world" The preacher spoke of the effect of the infu- ence of the crucifxion upon the apostle as shown in his separation from the world and in his being joined to Christ in new life. He also emphasized the danger that we may lose sight of the necessity of constantly glory ing in the cross of Christ, and also of the fact that it is the means of our regeneration. The sermon was listened to by large congrega- ton with deep interest.
 Rev. MT. Meserve in his discourse at the Davenport Congregational church last even ing spoke of the glories of heaven. This earth, he said, was beautiful. How little of it's grand aggregation of beauties had any person seen. God had enriched the world with beauty and with beautiful ores and min erals. He instanced far off diamond field. Rich as 1t was, sword of Damocles hung over the heads of the owners in the fear that it's treasures would at some dire moment prove to be exhausted. Heavens treasures were inexhaustible. Perpetual, unfailing means of joy were there awaiting the humble, faithful Christian believer.
 ''I am the bread of Iife." This clear de- claration of Christ, recorded in the forty eighth verse of the sixth chapter of Johns gospel, was the text, appropriate to the com munion season, of Dr. Hswes' brief sermon in the forenoon introducing the sacred ordi- nance at North church yesterday. The bread of life evidently means that which supports life. Not less true, said the pastor, is nour- ishment and support of our life needed in the body than is Christ, the spiritual "bread,'' necessary to our spiritual life. The hunger of the soul is no less real than that of the body. The great piniEg want of mankind is Christ formed in them. How can the want of happiness, of rich as we'll as poor, the honored and the for? They want this spiritual bread of life The worlds great need is Christ. His invita- tion, 'tCome unto me,' is for all. Two young men were received into the church by profession. One member of the church in Ansonia was received by letter. Two young children were baptized at the preparatory lecture last Friday evening.
 The attendance was full and the exercises solemn and interesting.

East Rock Park on Sunday.

If the men who have given their money, time and labor to the work of developing a park at East Rock could have seen the crowds that were out there yesterday any doubts that may have sometimes suggested themselves of the popular appreciation of their efforts would have been forever removed. The Far nam drive was thronged with steady stream of people in carriages, on foot, on bicycles and tricycles and in baby carriages. A line of over one hundred carriages was counted at one time. Old couples with the remem- brance of time when driving on the Sab bath was crime; young people overflow ing with the buoyancy of youth and exuber- ancy of spirits which occasionally broke forth peals-of laugh ter young men with and young men without maidens; parties of small boys, most of which were supplied with at least one dog,-aH were out improving one of the probably last pleasant Sundays of the year for an airing in New Haven's beautiful park The atmosphere was not very clear, but it was not laden with too Arctic breath, and the people who sat around on the boulders on the edge of East Rock and calmly surveyed the scene seemed to think it was all right. Children played in the grove and along the drive and stumbled about on the stones as though they liked it. Shop girls climbed the summit and leaned over the newly erected gay and festive father had his two babies out in pretty carriage and he rolled them over the Farnam drive, occasionally breaking ont into a burst of speed that threatened the safety of his babies The infants cooed and laughed. unmindful of any danger of upset ting. The park was surely improved by hun dreds of people yesterday.

 The commissioners have decided to grant license to John B. fBogan, of Milford, whose application was opposed by Rev. MT.

Began and his manner of conducting his saloon were not open to criticism, and this influenced the commissioners favorably.

THE MOBILE (Ala.) Register has
become convinced that the colored
man in the south now recognizes the
fact that the white race must rule
in that section, and have discovered
that that rule protects in life,
liberty and property, and in those
rights which the law OF the land
gives him. AS to the religious con-
dition of the negroes the Register
saws: "Too many of their clergymen
in the past have used their cloth
for political purposes, or to fleece
their flocks, and large proportion
have been totally uneducated. A
change is taking place now, however
Various denominations are under
taking the work of educating colored
men for the ministry, and this work
will no doubt be productive Of great
good to the race"

DECORATION DAY.

Decoration Day, or, as it is more
appropriately termed now, Memo
rial Day, is observed throughout the
United States because of the cher
Ished sentiment buried deep in the
hearts Of all true Americans-a
sentiment which finds a responsive
GhrJl in the hearts of the people
who look back upon the hardships
encountered and the perils endured
in support Of the grand idea of one
people, one nation and one flag. In
the weird, solemn music of the
bands, the funeral sentences of the
poets and the patriotic sentences of
she orators of the day, we return in
memory to the field, the fight and
the victory; we again behold the tat
6ered stars and stripes waving o'el
the ground consecrated to liberty
by The blood of patriots and the
sacrifices Of those who risked life
and limb that their country might
not only be undivided but indiYis-
IoIe; we again hear their measured
tramp, the "ear-piercing fife, the
spirit-stirring drum as the cohort:
Of freedom advance to "do and die
Tor the eternal right" That time
zyas the sad reality, this the cher
ished recoIection-a recollection
(Which now happily excludes NJ
section or class from its results, an(
includes all who live within GU
broad domain. To-day the Fedora
and Confederate, the native ant
foreign born, unite in doing homo
to heroism in such manner as beliti
heroes in life and cherishes TIT
memory of heroes who have gon,
before.
It's an occasion of JOY and sad
ness blended, but all traces of bit
terness have gone, gone we trust t
Eeturn no more.
sUnder the sod aud the dew,
Waiting the judgment day!
Love and tears for the blue
Tears and love for the gray"
