The New Jerusalem church was dedi-
Gated Sunday, Nov. 6, 1887, and is a
very pretty structure of wood on foun-
dation of rough-hewn c0bble-st0nes set
in cement. This foundation gives a
unique but very pleasing appearance.
On this is low superstructure of wood.
surmounted by high gable roof, over
which rises small spire and belfry of
graceful dimensions. The whole build
Ing is about so feet long, and contains
main auditorium 40 feet long by 30 feet
wide, exclusive of the chancel, which
is IA feet deep by 12 wide, and is sep
arated from the main body by an arch
16 feet high and IL feet 6 inches wide.
At the rear of the chancel is the pastors
study, pleasant room % feet long and
12 wide. Entrance to the church is
gained by two open arcaded porches,
one on Selby street and the other
on Virginia avenue. These open
into vestibules ~ feet square, and
the one on Selby street opens
into hall or anterOom fourteen feet
long and ten feet wide, from which ac-
cess is gained to the auditorium. This
is lighted by row of six small stained
glass windows, and there is in the
auditorium large window with a rep
presentation of a saint. The glass for
all of these was furnished by MacdOn-
aid, of Boston, and is Of very beautiful
design. The interior is wainsc0ted in
yellow pine,; which also forms the
trusses of the barrel-arched roof. The
furniture and fittings are all of oak and
ash, handsomely carved and polished.
The walls are kalsomiDed in pale tintS
of yellow and buff, delicately picked out
in gold and bronze. forming in combina-
tion with the woodwork and stained
glass rich, bright and harmonious ef-

Mr.. Mitchell and His Congrega-
ton in Their Relation to Each
Other at Divine Worship.
The modern idea of the div sion of the
labor of worship is disregarded in the
services of the Swedenborglan church.
The members have not done all that is
expected of them when they have
graced pew with their presence, and
assumed an attentive attitude that is
interrupted only with automatic up
risings and dOWn-sittingS and Stealthy
dropping of nickel ON the collection
plate. They take an active part in the
worship and do not so much as have
their singing done for them at certain
sum per year. Mrs. L.. P. Ordway is
the OrganiSt and Miss Adah Hawkins
leads the congregational singing. In
the absence of Mrs. Ordway yesterday
morning Miss Hawkins discharged both
duties. In an aSSemblage of thirty-five
persons congregational singing is not
apt to be
MUCH OF A MUSICAL SUCCESS.
Persons are afraid of their own voices
and afraid of one anOther's, and as
consequence their vocal display is in
nowise indicative of their spirit of de-
votion. The form of worship of the
New Jerusalem is as ceremonious as
that of the Church of England, but the
minister wears no white robe that makes
his invitation, "Come, let us worship
together" say. "YOu down there and 1
up nere." Whether it is the size OF the
church, which is certainly favorable to
close communion. or only the spirit of
Mr.. Mitchell and his congregation, they
seem to be related peculiarly. even
throughout the sermon. There is moth
ing about it of the viyisecting nature of
the operation a minister usually per-
forms through the medium of a
sermOn-preaching to his glory the pas
sive souls before him. 1t is more like a
conversation in which Mr.. Mitchell an
swers the question of truth his congre-
CATION by their presence have put to.
him. The pews of the church, which
are free. would threaten the success OF
the average minister of grace. The
backs are so nice and high, at just the
right angle. that to doze off would seem
the order of things. and scarcely sinful.
Then the tint of the walls and ceiling,
and of the woodwork. blend
so PRETTILY AND IAiPERCEPTIBLY,
that one gets the soft sense OF self-suf-
ficiency that comes, lying in a ham,
mock. studying the formation of sum-
mer sky. There is no difficulty in leav-
ing the world behind you within the
portals of this sanctuary, but the pam
theist under summer sky finds his
self-sufficiency disturbed by the direct.
earnest dispensation of the Gospel that

REV. Il. q. MITCHELL.
A Mans Religion Demonstrated
by His Life.

n MANS 3 NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
by His Life.
The bar holds the church grudge, SO
many bright intellects have been won
from the practice of law to the ministry.
Rev. E. G.. Mitchell is one of them. He
was admitted to the bar at Philadel-
phia in October, 1859, but while he
had been preparing himself for the law
his days had been spent with Black
stone and. his nights with SwedenbOrg.
From the time he was fifteen years of
age he had cast about for a theology
that should satisfy his spiritual needs,
and only in the doctrines of Emanuel
SwedenbOrg did he find it. A short
time after he was admitted to the bar he
became lay reader in New Jerusalem
church in Philadelphia. Nor did sew
eral months spent in editorial work on
the PennsylvaniaEnquir hinder him in
his career in the church. In 1861 he
began preaching in Philadelphia. where
he remained until assured the pastOrate
of church in Rhode Island three years
later. He moved to Minneapolis in 1872
and soon thereafter began his ministra-
tions in this city. After taking up his
residence here he maintained the
CHURCH HE HAD ESTABLISHED
in Minneapolis, and for two years
would preach here in the morning,
drive to Minneapolis and hold services
there in the afternoon, returning home
to lecture here in the evening. Mr..
Mitchell comes of an intellectual FAM
lily. His brother has recently been
made judge of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania for term of twenty-One
years. and his own intellectual attain
ments have brought him degrees from
the Philadelphia college and the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. His discourses
are clear and forcible-written from the
head and spoken from the heart. But
the strongest argument in favor Of his
religion that ne makes is his own
daily life. The force of his spirit is one
of the main vital elements of the Re-
lief society and of the Humane society,of
both of which institutions he is vice pres
ident. and tits entirely due to his efforts
that the free kindergarten system of the
city was organized and has been pushed
to its now 1ourishing condition. He is
president of this organization, and
nothing but the incongruity of man at
the head OF a nursery saved him from
being made president of the creche, or
day nursery, which owes its existence
to him..

A Plaster of PeIf.

LONDON. Feb. M.-The gossips give
a queer version of the true inwardness
of the reconciliation of the Marquis Of
Ailsbury and his wife. The story goes
that the marchiOneSs pursuaded Lord
Abingdon, one of the correspondents,
who is enormously wealthy. to give her
his check for 100000 in lieu Of life
settlement of $4,000 year from the es-
tate, and that she then returned to
Ailsbury. who is as poor as rat ex-
cept in entailed estates. and he agreed
to share the money with her and with
draw the suit for divorce.

Unless something unforeseen occurs the

His work will be chiefly in examining
