Philadelphia, July 22nd, 1896.
The weather here for the past

We had quite rain storm Sunday
night which was follow ed by very
cool weather. 1t is quite dull at
the hotels, and the city seems en-
tirely forsaken. The Grey Invinci

st. Baptist church delivered an ex-
cellent sermon on Sunday evening
last, the church was packed as
usual. The Reverend gentleman
is well thought of by his congre-
cation and they reciprocate by hav-
ing a full attendance. This is one
of the leading colored churches
here and is composed of the best
colored families of this city. They
have just completed their church,
it having been thoroughly renOvat-
