 Very interesting services were held at Cal vary Baptist church yesterday morning. when the rite of baptism was administered to eight more persons. Among them were
 father and his three children. The pastor
 preached powerful discourse, one of the
 most moving and eloquent among the many revival discourses that have been heard from
 this pulpit, and a very large congregation was present. The text was 1st Corinthians, 10th chapter, 12th verse, Therefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall" The revival meetings will be held at

At the Third Congregational church yes- | terday Professor Dwight of Yale college preached in the morning In the afternoon Rev. N. J. Jones, graduate of Yale Theo- l logical seminary, preached from Luke 13, A, 'tStrive to enter in at the straight gate" MT. Jones unfolded the subject under three 1 heads It is the only gate. It is a narrow gate. We must strive if we would enter in. The preacher pressed these points with 8 l great deal of force and earnestness, corroborating his views by many
 scripturaI allusions and appropriate ! Illustrations. God does not shut the gate to | keep his creatures out, but in accordance with plan and purpose which he has indl-
 cated and laid down. The lake of fire and birthstone was not prepared for human beings, but for the ''devil and his angels. '' Mir. Jones gives great promise of future power and usefulness. As Webster said,
 ''theres plenty of room at the top"

 Hy9n aSI9a W Me elnsong ine11ti Yesterday morning at St. Mary's church
 Rev. Father Lawlor delivered an impressive
 eulogy on St. Patrick, drawing from his life lesson of practical example which he for cibly impressed on his hearers. At the of fertory Miss Mary Sullivan sang sweetly and in excellent taste an Ave Maria written by
 Dudley Buck. It was 8 beautiful musical
 composition, and seemed specially well adapt ed to the clear, resonant and melodioas so-
 prano voice of the singer. There is charm l about Miss Sullivan's singing that awakens interested attention whenever her fresh and
 musical voice is heard in solo efforts, which
 is far too seldom in the musical services at
 St. Mary's. To naturally rich and rangy voice she adds the advantages of consider able degree of cultivation and particularly intelligent taste in execution, making her singing of uncommon pleasure to the hear CTS. The congregation of St. Mary's church find much delight in those too rare occasions l when she is heard in solo singing. After the
 mass the St. Patrick's hymn was finely sung by Miss Mary Kivlan and the choir. Ser
 vices in honor of St. Patrick will be held at
 this and all the Catholic churches in the city
