Church OF the Redeemer, Chicago, before a very

People rose m their STATS ready to shout and wave

Never was there such a demonstration in this
church before. II is the universal testimony that
Il was the most powerful sermon ever preached
In that church No doubt It was one of the great
est efforts Of Or Harrls's life, The sermon was
upon some Of the vital ISSUES Of the day Il was
very logical and clear cut as crystal After the

T c. Crawford writes from Washington
to the New York Tribune: senator Nor
rill is now in good health, and, in spite Of
his eighty years, is devoted heart and soul
to the Improvement Of the capitol building.
1t is to him that is to be given the credit
for the beautiful terraces which add so
much of elegance and beauty to the capitol
He says that when these terraces are com
pleted they are to be ornamented with great
bronze vases, stretching TO the right aud
left of central fountain In these vases
in summer will be century plants in the
winter, evergreens asked the senator
what were his plans concerning the central
building. He said that he had already a
measure before Congress for this, but As
the changes involved there would take much
money, there had been some delay in get
ting Congress to act. His plan proposes
the extension outward of the central build
ing to the front and back, and then the
building of the outer walls of marble 50 as
to be in harmony with the wings. The en-
largement of the central building is what is
needed to give a proper proportion TO the
entire structure.
