Temperance.

An illustration of the Money Cost of Intemperance, at Calvary Baptist Church.
 Last evening at Calvary Baptist church, l the pastor, Rev. Mir. Samson, preached an
 instructive discourse on the power of Chris 1 tian sympathy and Christian infu ence and
 their widespread extent, and on the further extension of this influence until all nations and kindreds shall become one in Christ. During the services and after the singing of the first hymn the organ motor suspended operations, and the remainder of the singing was without the organ accompaniment. The difficulty will be at once remedied.
 Announcement vas made at yesterday ys services of the grand picnic of the school, which takes place on Wednesday at High Rock Grove. Specially enliVening the oc-
 casion will be music by brass band, and the
 school procession will be otherwise headed by two companies of lads in uniform, the
 McManus Guard and the Dwight School company, both of which have many mem
 bers in the Sunday school, and will make a
 fine appearance. The church has special
 train which leaves at 8:2O. The committee
 are A J Harmount, H H Taylor, George K Jewell, D Weed and E H Potter. The ar- engagement committee are George K Jewell Charles F McCabe and H H Weed.
 At the Sunday school service yesterday 8 very striking illustration of the money cost of intemperance was made by the subject of
 the day was Temperance" On the black
 board was chalked in large figures the i'm
 mense sum spent annually for rum in thls
 country; about $500, ,0OOOOO. There was
 chaIked the cost of bread, which was in the
 vicinity of $500, ,OoO, 900; then the cost of clothing and meat respectively, and finally
 the money raised for mission work. This
 last sum was about $5, 900, 900. It was shown that the missions got only sum. equal to
 about the bare interest which the rum money
 would bring if put out at interest. The sub-
 iect was further illustrated in very able
 address by Mir. H. Webster Stowe. Also
 300 copies Of Mir. John Collins Gospel Union
 News were distributed, the number being
 one which contains engravings from actual
 life of what the intoxicating fluids accomplish
 in this city as seen at the City court and otherwise.
