Unlike the West, we do not have
our theatres opened for the regular
entertainment on Sunday. Therefore
the people have to content themselves
at this time of the year by going to
church. In the Summer they can go
on excursions down the harbor. We
are well supplied with churches here
in the Hub" and 1 will write little
about some OF them.
Perhaps the place most popular and
best known is fremont Temple. Rev,
F. M. Ellis, D. D., pastor. This is
more of the nature of large hall, the
creed is Baptist Services are held in
the Swedish and French language as
well as English also Temperance
meetingings.
Rev. James Kay Applebill preach
es for the Congregationalists at the
Parker Memorial. He is very lib
eral speaker, in fact, rather too liberal
for the society he represents. Rev. NJ.
j. Savage is also a liberal preacher,
and T presume the most popular min
lister to-day in Boston.
First NJ. E. Church Temple, Rt.
Rev. H. w. Bolton, pastor, is pop
ular place for that part of the city.
The church at the corner of Chand-
Ter and Berkley is where the Prssby-
terians go to worship. The Rev. DR..
Miner, Of Butler eulogy fame, is pastor
of the Universalist church, corner of
Columbus Avenue and Clarendon St.
The church of the Advents, is on the
corner of Mt. Vernon and Brimmer
Sts., Rev. G. c. Grafton, Rector. The
Reformed Episcopal Church on Dart
mouth, near Columbus Avenue, has
for its pastor Rev. james M. Gray.
The First Christian Church has its
entrance at 1871 Warrington ST., Rev.
Ellen G. Gustin is pastor, and though
of the weaker sex, I understand she
fills the office with great satisfaction.
The Friends hold their meeting at
Wesleyan Hall, 36 Broemfeld, Geo.
A. Parker, speaker. The Y. NJ. G.
Association is at the corner of Boyl-
ston aad Berklsy ST., services several
times day. The Y. M. c, Union is
a. Union Hall, Is Boylston St. Servi-

readers Mapped to be in Boston they
lean know where to find their own as
sociates.
I will now write little in regard
% the Freethinking element, and it is
wonderful to think how this has de-
veloped the last few years. Large
numbers are leaving the church servi-
,es and go to hear the lectun.s at the
Liberal meetings.
