hearts. Those who sing thus have
faith in Jesus Christ, and that is what
makes the Holy Catholic Church.
Many people think that the creed,
when it mentions holy Catholic
Church, Roman Catholic
Church. 1t does not. The Romanists
assumed that title, but we do not recog-
nize it. The portion of the creed that
reads II believe in the Holy Ghost;
the Holy Catholic Church; the COM
munion of saints has been improp-
erly punctuated and that has caused
much discussion. 1t should read the
Holy Catholic Church the communion
of saints, or which means that the
church is a communion of saints and
the semicolon ought not be placed
after church. It changes the entire
construction. Communion means
commonalty or aggregation, and for
that reason Holy Catholic Church
does not mean the Church of Rome,
but all churches. / thank God the
Holy Catholic Church is a great deal
broader than the Methodist Church,
or the Baptists, Presbyterians or any
other denomination. 1t embraces all.
1t is the universal church.
The Blind Evangelist.
The Scotch Presbyterian Church on
Wayne street was thronged last night
with an audience gathered to listen to
the Rev. Thomas Houston, the blind
preacher. MI. Houston excelled him.
self both as preacher and singer. His
power of sudden transition from speech
to song is something remarkable. His
labors have proven SO successful that
it has been decided to continue his
services, and he will lead exercises in
the church every night this week.
Rev. MIR. Smiths Farewell.
The Rev. G. w. Smith delivered his
farewell sermon in Centenary M. E.
Church last evening. The subject
treated by the minister was st. PauTs
defense before SAgrippa. The dis
course was very Interesting, and the
explanations were clear and to the
point.
He described the scene Of Christ APP
pearing to Paul while he was on his
way to Damascus to persecute the
Christians, and his subsequent con-
version. He also gave instances in
the life of the great Apostle, and APP
piled them to the present time.
AT the close of the sermon Mr.. Smith
bid his flock farewell in a few words.
He thanked them for the kindness
with which he and his family had
been treated while among them. He
impressed upon the minds Of his con
gregation that he left them with the
best of feeling toward all and heartily
returned the love of the members of
the church, which he felt that he car
ried with him.

and wandered out again. Mr.. Charles

After being closed and in the hands
of workmen for the past year, the

The church was crowded, as the Rev.

exchanging osculatory salutes and an
mated greetings the devotees joined
in the services which Elder Raymond
began without much loss of time. AS
o. number of converts were present
awaiting baptism, the principal feat
ure of the services consisted of long
and earnest prayers that the storm
would abate sc that the ceremony
could be performed.
With the turn of the tide from flood
to ebb the wind shifted a trifie, and
the snow ceased falling. Then with
joyful acclaims that their prayers had
been answered, the Elders followers
hastily donned their headgear and
outer covering and followed the Elder
through the slushy streets to the foot
of Fish's lane, on the Pamrapo shore
of New York Bay, where they gathered
in a picturesque group and continued
their services. The band first sang
