 A large congregation attended the enjoya- ble praise service which was given at the East Pearl street M. E. church last evening. The topic of the evening was "Not Ashamed of Jesus" and the whole service was in keep ing with this thought. In his discourse the pastor, Rev. A. H. Goodenough, dwelt par ticularly upon the story of Peter denying Christ and the lesson which we may draw from it-that those who are most confident of themselves are very often among the first to fall. He urged his hearers not to be ashamed to avow their faith in Jesus.
 The musical portion of the programme by the double quartette choir was exceptionally interesting. Holden's Crust in God" was
  of W. H. Brown, M. J. Adams, F. J. Weld and Leverett R. Goodyear. Miss Edith An gur, the contralto of the choir, sang the sub- feet solo of the evening, Danks' "Not Ashamed of Jesus," with excellent taste and expression. The young organist: s. R.
