 An Iowa Pastor at the United |
 Chureh-A Prosperous Branch Mis- |
 siOn-Rev. MT. Clark Of East Haven.
 Rev. MT. Reed occupied his pulpit again at l Trinity M. E. church yesterday morning. Dr. Reed has completed his vacation resting for the summer. Quite large congregation 1 WAS present yesterday to greet the pastor and listen to his earnest words regarding the higher life beyond and the need of pressing forward for higher spiritual attainments The sermon abounded with fresh and inspir- ing thought. The cooler weather despite the light shower made church attendance much more enjoyable than usual in the month of August, and the sermon well re- paid any curtailment of the morning nap, that some claimed they sacrificed in order to hear their popular pastor. There was excel- lent music upon the organ, as usual, by Prof. Ensign and the cornet accompaniment is very acceptable.
 BAPTIST MISSION NASH STREET.
 Rev. MT. Busrieks, pastor of the Wooster Place Baptist church preached and admirable discourse at the Nash street branch of his church last evening. He offciates at the branch for the branch's pastor, Rev. Mir. Paine, during the vacation of the latter.
 Rev. MT. Butricks greatly enjoyed his re- cent flying visit to Europe. The time was spent in Scotland and England. The Bap- tist mission is doing well and prospecting in it's new, pleasant and commodious building on Lawrence street. The preaching services are largely attended by the people of that now populous and still rapidly growing sec tion of New Haven.
 REV. MIR. CLARK OF EAST HAVEN. The Davenport church pulpit was occupied yesterday forenoon by Rev. MT. Clark, of the East Haven Congregational church. He made most favorable impression. It was fair sized audience for 8 rainy August morn ing, with many members away. His text was Ruth ii, 15-16, s'And when she was risen up to glean Boaz commanded his young men saying, let her glean even among the sheaves and reproach her not, and let fall also some of the handfuls on purpose for her and leave them that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.' The sermon was very interesting and practical discourse.
 REV. MIR. WHITNEY, OF BELorT. The subject of the plain, practical discourse of Rev. Prof. H. N. Whitney, of Beloit, Wis, at the union service in the United church yesterday was faith, II Cor, v, 2, "For we walk by faith not by sight," The whole ! chapter and the first three verses of the sue. ! ceeding chapter was read as the morning scripture reading. The revised version was | I diminished the usual good attendance some what, but the simple excellent service and sermon was uplifting and helpful. Faith \ the speaker said, comes by hearing. All oul \ early knowledge is thus derived. Atten- t tion and obedience are made first the habit ' of our minds. When greater knowledge and \ experience is attained comes the duty o1 | knowing whether our faith is right or wrong | Scripture and experience are our teachers Examples were cited, as The that committett sin is the servant of sin," to show that ed. ucation is required to understand doctrines \ and truths. Trusting faith born of experi. ! ence is better than intellectual faith. The atmosphere of the church was very close, until at the speakers request the win dows were opened.
 CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH.
 ! The church of the Messiah is closed unti the first Sunday in September. Rev. Mir Squires is away enjoying his summer rest The Rev. MT. Houghton, former pastor, Jeff here last week with his wife to visit hii
 brother in Maine and arrives back in Spring field, Ohio, Sept. 15.
 AT ENGLISH HALL.
 ! The religious services at English hall las | evening were conducted under the auspicei of Harmony division 5, Sons of Temperance \ A fine, largely attended service was held | Mir. o. E. Hart was chairman and addresse were made by 0. A. Baldwin, Mrs. J. N Leeds, Rev. W. s. Phillips and Rev. M Weimer.
 HIGHLY INTERESTS LARGE AUDIENcEs-A1 | THE CHURCH OF THE REDEEAER. At the Church of the Redeemer yesterday Rev. Mir. Severance, who is supplying Dr Todd's pulpit during his absence, preached an excellent sermon in the morning from
 James, III: Behold. we count them happy \ which endure.o
 ' Trornadiaka1v affor fIa aar,,1or kboua y,rao ent, together with many others who came il
 soon afterward, gathered in the lectur,
 room to listen to Mir. J. B. Underwood, wht
 continued his explanation of the tabernacle
 using it to more fully explain the interna
 tional Sunday school lesson of the day
 which was from Leviticus, 16,1-16. From
 the number present it was fully eviden
 that the interest has in no S2Eay abated
 and the crowds that have attended for the past few Sundays only go away to report what they have seen tt ! their friends, who in return come on the fol
 lowing Sunday, and the little model whicl
 was constructed without any thought but
 local benefit has already been examined by
 hundreds and hundreds of persons, only ta
 find it correct in all it's proportions. Sine 1t was last described by us it has been over
 laid with pure gold and seven branch can
 dlestick was yesterday lighted inside of tn
 holy place so the interior could be easil,
 seen, and now it is the intention of thos
 having it in charge to much more fully fur ! nish the inside, both the holy and most hol, places. This work will require some week
 to get it satisfactory, after which it will b ! again returned to the Church of the Redeem ! CT, and the Sunday school lessons which ar 1 to follow will be of more spiritual impor
 than formerly through the interpretation b this model of the tabernacle. It is also pro posed in few weeks that the neighborin
 Sunday schools be invited to gather som
 Sunday afternoon or evening and have
 more fully explained to the children,who hay
 not as yet had an opportunity to examine
 for themselves, that they may learn as vel
 as the adults who have attended the clas
 on Sunday noon its symbolic and tipica
 meanings.
 The class will meet every Sunday nool
 during the summer from 12 o'clock to 1, an' I all those who have not other engagements
 and particularly strangers, are welcomed
 The Church of the Redeemer is becoming al
 aggressive, working, active and useful insti
 tuition, and the Bible class, which is now tn
 largest in number by far thaR any other il \ the State is only one of it's many other in
