 Knstructfon.
 At the Davenport Congregational church yesterday morning, tAe pastor, Rev. MT. Meserve, delivered an eloquent Christmas sermon, which was listened to with much satisfaction and pleasure. The exercises were increased by a fine praise service by the choir. This church has adouble quartette male choir, composed in part of students of Yale, led by MT. Kellogg, formerly promi- nent in the Yale Glee club for several years. They sang well, and a solo was also given before the opening prayer by Mir. Bennett, of B quartette note.
 CHURCH OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
 Atthe Church of the Holy Spirit, Rev. Phebe A. Hanaford, the pastor, preached yesterday from the text which was exceed ingly appropriate for the last Sabbath in the Lord thy God careth for; the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year" She spoke of the fact that the Jews of old felt that their nation was special ly cared for by Jehovah and then showed that Christ taught divine fatherhood which en- ables all nations now to feel that they are in his care. She closed by as surfing her hearers that, as individuals, all may trust the divine providence, sure that infinite wisdom will order all the events of every year for our growth or discipline. Duties are ours, results are Gods. We are to obey his commandments, and he will guide us in the path of his appointment and order all events for our highest welfare. In the evening the Sunday school concert was held, large audience being present. The exercises were conducted by the superinten- dent, Miss Miles, prayer being offered by the pastor. The singing was admirable, espe- ciafly the solos by Mrs. Nellie Allen, and the duets by Mrs. Allen a..d Miss Ida Isbel1. The recitations were finely rendered even the wee ones manifesting an appreciation of the words they uttered, which showed the effect of careful training, as well as the latent powers which such occasions bring forth. The chan eel of this tastefully frescoed church was adorned also with Christmas greens, and a gi1ded star was placed over the framed motto ''God help our School" to which little Ada Wilkinson pointed as she finely recited the lines referring tO the Sunday school

TRINITY M. E. CHURCH. Christmas Exercises By The Bible SchOOl-Watch Night Services.

At Trinity M E. church yesterday morn
 ing Rev. Dr. Peck preached very interesting
 discourse, his subject being ''One Hundred
 Methodist Christmases. The discourse was
 based on the 2Oth chapter of St. John, 21st
 and 22d verses. The birth and growth of
 Methodism was dwelt upon at length, it's mission and what it had accomplished. In closing he said: Methodism must maintain inviolate her doctrines. Cold intellectual ism means religious death. The religion of Methodism is religion of joy and bases it's religion not in the head but in the heart A holy life is the uuan- swerable truth of Christianity. It must con- tinue revival church. Souls cannot be saved until they are born anew. Methodism must intensity and multiply revivaIs; not ranting revivals of excitement, but steady, consecrate and renew ourselves to God, moving on the world with the trumpet voice of herald. God grant that VIC may open the second century of Methodism with heroism that shall be invincible and be counted the worthy of worthy sires.
 At this church yesterday afternoon the Bible school held their Christmas services. The exercises, which were directed by Charles P.

Presentation at BunReIIos Museums.
 The presentation of a valuable gold watch and chain to c. Dale Armstrong, stage manager at Bunnell's museum, Saturday evening, was witnessed by large audience, who gave three cheers for the recipient at the close of the ceremeny. MT. John G. North gave vivid description of the dangers of & panic such as occurred at the museum Christmas night. To MT. Armstrong was due the credit of quelling the tumult, for his prompt appearance and cool delivery of few words restored confidence in an instant Mr. North said that not only the citizens who were present on Christmas night appreciated MT. Armstrong's efforts, but the fire insur- ance agents of New Haven desired to recog- nize his services in substantial manner, as an encouragement to any person who might be placed in similar emergency. In receiy- ing the gift Mir. Armstrong showed himself a master in olocution and of stage address He modestly gave much of the credit to Little Clara, whose childish faith in his words caused her to advance to the footlights and exclaim to the audience, ''Sit down, there is no danger, MT. Armstrong says so." The little artist was called upon the stage and bowed her acknowledgements to the cheers of the spectators. The incription upon on the watch is as follows: Presented to c. Dale Armstrong, stage manager, for his prompt and successful efforts in queIling panic at Bunnells museum, New Haven, Conn.,, Christmas night, 1884.
