At the Humphrey Street Congregational
Church-About Thfrty.Si1 New Menu
bers Adm1tted-Eight Baptisms.
Yesterday was a day of great interest at
the Humphrey street Congregational church,
Rev. Mr.. Bray pastor. At the forenoon SER
vice large number of new members was
received into the church, in all about thirty
six. three of them camein by letter and thirty
three fruit of the revival at the church by
profession of faith. A considerable part OF
the new members are adults, and comprise
quite a number of well known and substan-
tiaI citizens. The oldest of these received Is
sixty-si years of age, and there were num-
Der of young people. The revival meetings
at the church have continued eight or ten
weeks, and besides those admitted yesterday
many more are to be added before long, in
Guiding quite a number of children. Rev.
Mr.. Williams, formerly pastor of the How
ard avenue church, assisted in conducting the
morning service There we're also seven or
eight persons baptized, a number of whom
we're adults. Extra meetings will be held
two evenings this week. Next Friday Cast
day) the congregation of this church unite
in services at the Davenport church. Rev.
Mr.. Bray specially invited the young con-
Verts to attend,

. st. Paul's Church.

How Palm Sunday was Observed-ser-
mon by Bishop WtlIiams-Thtrty-four
Persons Confirmed.
Palm Sunday, or the Sunday before Easter,
was an ideal spring day. At st. Paul's the
service was divided on account of its length,
morning prayer and the itany being said at
half-past nine O'Clock. At 1890, on account
of the presence of Bishop Williams, the
church was literally filled. The bishop
preached strong clear sermon, appropri-
ate to the opening of Passion week, from LIST
Peter, 1924. "Who his own self bore our
sin in his own body on the tree, that we, be-
ing dead to sin, should live unto righteous
ness, by whose stripes ye were healed" The
bishop presented concisely the teaching of
holy scripture and the church that
gave his son to die for men,
that the divine love, not wrath, brought
about Christ's sacrifice upon the cross. In
the second place he showed that the redemp-
ton was universal, making possible the sal
walton of all men. Finally he said that
neither holy scripture nor the church had ev-
er taught how redemption was wrought out
in Christ'- death, but declared the fact as an
essential part of the faith by which men
must be saved. After the Sc mon the bishop
confirmed thirtyfour persons. The holy
communion followed with about three hun
dred communicates, including the newly
confirmed. The services at st. PRuls this
week are daily, at 8 O'Clock a. m. except
Good Friday, and at o'clock p. M, except
Wednesday,

Church of the Ascension.

Sermon BY Bishop WtIIfRms-COnfirma-
tiOn of Eighteen Persons.
Yesterday afternoon at the Church of the
Ascension on Davenport avenue the rite of
confirmation was administered to eighteen
persons by Bishop Williams. The clergy
present and assisting the bishop were Rev.
E. w. Babcook, pastor of the church, Rev.
Mr.. Jscocks, Rev. Mr.. Thorne and REV. DIR.
Shears of this city and Rev. Mr.. Potter of
Clinton.
Preceding the ceremony of confirmation
the venerable Bishop Williams preached q
very able discourse, his remarks being based
on the words found in S.. Johns gospel,
sixth chapter, forty-eighth verse. In the
course of his remarks hs said
that men were seeking some mode
in which to get to God This
cry was upon every lip until Christ came.
Then the multitude cried out for proof as to
his individuality and mission, and amid all
the discordant elements the cry was what is
the truth. Then was the want eating into
mems souls. At last the answer came. The
answer came from God, and man and God
were brought together in human nature,
Christ said to his disciples, 81 go away;" and
Thomas said, F'Lord, we know not whittier
thou goest." Christ said, ST am the way,
the truth, and the life." His dominion was
to reach from sea to sea and to the end
Christ on Calvary offers to MS the way to
God When he assembled up on high he led
captivity captive, and he is the way, the
trsth and the life. In Christ crucified you
find the Precipitation of sin. Stand on the
hill of Calvary and hear him cry, 'tBlessed
are the poor in spirit, for they shall see
God" He is the life to every soul that seeks
and desires salvation. What a message
comes to us on this day. the priest, the
prophet, the way, stand with open arms
to receive you. What more do We need?
1t is an easy thing to say that Christ is the
way, the truth and the life, but to feel the
need of Christ is what We want and unless
we feel this need it Is all in vain. When We
feel this need and seekit then Christ beco mes
the life to us. These words have q Rrander
sweep when we stand beside the cross of
Christ and consider that through the cross
he is to us tho truth and the life. Thsn our
spiritual life grows brighter as we march on
toward the end and at last rest with God
through the endless ages of eternity.
Following the sermon the impressive cere~
mony of confirmation took place. On its
conclusion the bishop addressed the confirm
ed and urged to be faithful in their at
tendance upon oil the services of the church.
He urged them to study Gods word, q duty
which was too often neglected by Christians.

Death of John E. Lewis.
A Worthy Man GOne to his ReSt-Fai
fuI to the End

Worthy Man Gone to his ReSt-Faith-
full to the End.
John E. Lewis, who has been suffering
with brain trouble at the hospital for a
number of weeks, died on Saturday night at
11:3o O'Clock. 1t will be recollected that
after Mr.. Lewis was taken to the hospital his
wife and daughter were suffocated by escap-
ing gas in their sleeping room, which they
had neglected to turn completely off. The
death of Mrs and Miss Lewis was discov-
cred some time after, and kind friends laid
them away in the cemetery. The SON of
Mr.. Lewis who lives in Cleveland, came on
to the funeral and after burial broke the
news to his father, who was then in the hos
pital. Owing to the state of Mr.. Lewis
mind he did not seem to comprehend the
loss he had sustained.
The deceased was we'll known in this city
as a gentleman of sterling integrity. He
was formerly foreman of Croton Engine
company No. l when it was a volunteer tenn
perance fire company and in late years has
taken a great interest in the Veteran Fire
mems association, of which he was first vice
president. The deceased was formerly po-
liceman, entering the service August 10th,
1865. He served about three years and then
resigned. Soon after he was appointed bank
WAGcuudu, anu GuEOuSA suAueE neSd auu
winters cold he walked the streets from
bank to bank, and during his work as watch
man no bank was ever robbed, which is in
no small measure due to the faithfulness of
Mr.. Lewis and his assistant.
When the death of Mr.. Lewis occurred his
son-in law, MIR. Cook, was notified and
telegram was sent to his son. who resides in
Cleveland. The son replied with request
that the body be kept until his arrival and
that he would start at once for the East. Mr..
Lewis will probably arrive to-day, when ar
engagements will be made for the funeral.
The Veteran firemen will probably attend in
a body, also the Temple of Honor and tenn
perance societies to which Mr.. Lewis be-
loneed

oowardly Assault.


How H. s. Pierce was Beaten and Kicked
by an Unknown MAN OR State street
Last Evening.
Last evening about 10 O'Clock two young
men, Il. s. Pierce, who lives on Townsend
avenue in the Annex, and Eddie Foster, of 10
Grown street, were walking along State
street, when a man came up behind them and
without any provocation whatever dealt
Pierce stunning blow on the head. The
next thing Pierce knew the strange man
kicked him in the stomach. The assailant
then escaped. Pierce states that he did not
feel much pain from the kick until he had
walked some distance. Then he fell in q
swoon and was unable to walk, being very
severely injured. He was transferred to the
Western Union telegraph Office and there
awaited the stage that would carry him to his
home. He could give no description of his
assailant and says he knows of no one who
has q grudge against him, as he has never
had any trouble with anyone. The trouble
occurred near A. j. Beers store. The police
we're informed of the affair, but as the young
man could give no description of the man
there is little chance of his being found.
Officer George Bradley says that such oc-
currences are not uncommon and that in one
evening on Congress avenue three men were
sssailed in the same way and no arrests were
made,

In the Catholic churches of this city yes
