the basement and will, when completed,
be a model Of comfort and convenience.
Steam will heat it, and it will accomo-
date some eighty young ladies'. The

and closets Upon the first floor a dining
room, which williseat eighty-fonr per-
sons, giving each one room in which to

at the CongregstionaI Churohl

The pleasant weather brought out
large audiences ct the Congregational
church yesterday, where in the morning
the pastor urged the necessity OF assist
ling young men who are studying for
the ministry, showing that there was a
dearth of ministers in the denomination,
there being 900 more churches than
available pastors. The reason for this
state of things was two-fold, first mental
and spiritual requirements of the MIN
istry, and the long and costly course OF
preparation for the Congregational
ministry, which consumed ten years of
the young manhood. The remedy was
to grant assistance to such worthy end
needy young men as would undertake
the work. An appeal was also made for
the society at work among the Mormons
Academies and schools are planted
among the Mormons OF Utah, teaching
Mormon children and winning them
from their corrupt faith. A collection
was taken for these two objects amount.
ing to $47. 90, to be equally divided. In
the evening the discourse was the
thirteenth of g series OF ermons on
1.-THE Life OF Christ" following the life
of q Lord down to the beginning Of
holy work. Next Sunday evenings dis
course will finish this series with the
crucifxion. This series Will be followed
by a number of evening aermons tc
young men on "How to Succeed"

Yesterday was g Sabbath OF more than
passing interest to q host OF christisns
and especially to those who attended
any or ell of the several services at
Christ church which were conducted by
Rev. Percy Webber, the missionary.
Not but what every Sunday in the year
is pleasant to those who attend Christ

that q man can command, but M. Web
ber's business ia in the missionary field
and no filter compliment can be paid
h,m than to say that he Is equal to his
task. Mr.. Webber. besides knowing ell
about the gospel, possesses a rich voice,
an effective style OF delivery and seems
to be SO thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of his chosen profession that the
intelligent mortal finds delight in being
one of his audience. He is religioualy
practical, for he lays down the law OF
christianity, purity and general good.

Yesterday MIR. Webber conducted or
addressed five different meetings., and
in each one he seemed 10 have greater
interest than in the previous one. He
met @ large number of commandments at
8 o. m. and spent an hour in admins
tering the sacrament. This ceremony
can only be described as beautiful, and
those who have attended 30 have named
it At IL O'Clock he conducted the

audience. At n O'Clock he
talked to the Sunday school and al

with rRpt attention to some excellent
advice and counsel. This meeting was
especially interesting and was very
largely attended. Last night Mr.
Webber preached to one OF the largest
audiences which ever assembled IN
