First Baptist Church.
Preaching by Walter H. ButricI<, of
 R0chasfarp Sarafn1rv

Preaching by Walter H. ButricIk, of the
 Rochester Seminary.
 Yesterday morning and evening at the First Baptisti church Walter H. Butrick, of Rochester Theological Seminary, preached two excellent sermons. It is understood that Mr. Butriek is soon to be ordained, after which he will accept the call rendered him by the First Baptist church of this city
 He took for his text last evening Acts, 16th chapter, 30th verse: s'Sir, what must I do to be saved" In his opening remarks the preacher said This question has been asked by the ages. It is the question to- day. It is the question that has brought us together this evening. It Is question that is theoIog- ically discussed, and has come to be the ques- tion of the day. In discussing this question tonight desire to take it out of the usual theologlcA rut. It is 8 serious question. If l were to speak in way to incite your laughter you would turn from me with scorn. It is serious question and one that demands our serious attention. Men are willing to discuss almost anything and everything, but to the question ''What must l do F they are not willing to discuss it. Let | us turn our attention to the Phillippian iailer
 He was glad to receive the prisoners Paul and Sllas. He threw them into the inner prison and placed them in cruel stocks. He
 hears the fatal earthquake which unlocked
 the prison doors and was ready to take his own life. But he heard a voice saying, 'sDo l myself no harm," and finally he came to in | qu1re, What must 1 do to be saved ?" This,
 then, 1 say, is a personal question
 vital question. Paul said, Relieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved" The
 jailer had forgotten that the doors were open and his only concern was s'What must I dc

 crossed the sea of Galilee he was met by 6
 man who told him that his child was dying
 and while on the wayeto the mans house woman touched the hem of his garment When he reached the house where the child
 lay it was dead, and Christ's answer to the 1 man was "Trust." This jai1er asked, What I must do :? He could do nothing for him, self, but once saved he could do much He must show his new life by renewed diligence. He received baptism. The day before he l showed his hatred there I say then that | this question must be considered by a man who wants to be saved. It must be consid- | cred by man who feels that he must be saved. If there be a soul here thinking that he would be saved, would ask him what think ye of Christ :? If there is any soul here who believes in these words the door is open for him fo ha savad

Sunday Services.

A good number gathered at the morning service in the North church despite the rain and the flooded sidewalks. From the text' "Come, let us reason togther, saith the Lord, {" Isaiah, l. IS, Dr. Hawes gave an excellent dis course, plain, fervent and instructive. Gods condescension to man, the Creator to the creatures, what fairness, what love His com nands are not grievous. Sin is the cause of suffering and woe in our world. We are en- treated to forsake sin, and to just take the wise and good part which alone can satisfy our minds and fill our souls with happiness and joy, now and forever. Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be white as snow, though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool" Greater willingness and implied help on the part of God is not conceivable. Not simply good gifts, but the greatest gifts. The lost estate of our race without religion, cheerless and hopeless was depicted in most apparent and appealing contrast to the rich inheritance ready for all who will accept of it. Allusion was made to the awakened religious interest in the churches and communities around, and more than usual interest was manifest in this church.
 Notice of the exercises here this evening in commemoration of the semi cen tennial anniversary of the New Haven orphan asylum at 74 o'clock was given, and of the meeting next Wednesday in the College street church in the forenoon and afternoon. of representatives of our national benevolent societies. Addresses will be given by good speakers from each.

Religious Meetings During the Week.
 The Record BOard-Sen1Or Glass Meet
 ing.
 During the week just passed MT. Sayford's nightly meetings in old chapel have drawn together large numbers of students and con- siderable interest has been awakened. Mr. Sayford, an exceedingly earnest worker, has endeavored to bring men to Christ by plead ing with them and showing them the danger of their indifferent position. Several room meetings have been held with great profit, and MT. Sayford has received men in his room and has gone to anyone's room who re-
 quested it to talk over the matter with them.
 The result, while not as gratifying as could
 have been desired, is that several have avow-
 ed their intention of beco ming Christians,
 many who had been living without much re-
 gard for their religion have had their faith
 and their sense of duty strengthened and
 great impetus has been given to the work, which is carried on chiefly by means of the
 class and university prayer meetings. MT. Sayford conducted two meetings yesterday, a Bible reading in the afternoon and an exhor- tation meeting in the evening. The attend aAce was good at both. MT. Sayford leaves | to day for his home in Boston. The Record board for 1SS3-S4 has been announced as follows c. Ross, E. I. San | ford, 0. A. Watrous, J. R. Halsey (fnancial editor), '84; c. W.

MT. Houpt ! was chosen chairman. motion to send a | set of engrossed resolutions was made. This ! was thought too formal, and some proposed | sending letter. Various motions were then made-one to send pictures of the class, an other to invite the female operatives of Will | imantic to visit the college, another to pay Il Prof. Summers expenses to Willimantic, and another to send Prof. Sumner with the Glee \ club to give concert. It was finally voted ! to send the Glee club without the professor | and pay their expenses. Messrs. $.

A Knowing Horse

One of the conductors of the West Chapel street horse railroad speaks with pride of the sagacity of one of the horses belonging to the line. As he moves along, if ladies are standing at corner, the horse always comes to full stop, and If 1t happens that they do not desire to get aboard the car it is hard for the driver to persuade the horse to go along without them. In the case of gentlemen on the crosswalk who may be waiting for the car the horse only stops with great reluct- ance and by compulsion. "He thinks" said the conductor, "that the car must always stop for ladies, but that gentlemen have got to jump on as the car passes by, and I can't teach him any other course of conduct" The horse has been nine years in the service.
