Jubilee Singers.
Tomorrow will be another day of spe-
cial interest to the Church of the Redeem
or people, as their new pastor, Rev. DIR.
Phillips, will occupy the pulpit of that
church. No doubt, weather permitting,
he will be greeted by large congregation.
He has made most favorable impression,
both among his own people and the many
outsiders, who have heard him preach
here. He arrived in town last Wednes-
and with his family repaired at once to his
residence, the late Hooker mansion, on
Orange street. The Church of the Re
deemer people had considerable amuse-
ment this week over slip-up in the col
umns of the Palladium. That paper re-
ported DR.. Phillips as having preached the
preparatory sermon at the Redeemer
church on Tuesday evening, and gave
other mention of the affair, whereas the
fact was that DIR. Phillips was out of the
state and did not arrive in town until the
following day. Some of the congregation
were astonished on reading the Palladium
article and regretted exceedingly not hav-
ing been present and heard those exceed
ingly interesting ideas concerning spiritual
growth" which the enterprising Palladium
reporter announced as having been given
at the meeting by DR.. Phillips.
Rev. DR.. Stevens, who it was conducted
the meeting, was somewhat surprised next
day at finding that he had been mistaken
for DR.. Phillips, having been a New Ha-
ven man now for years. But mistakes
will sometimes happen.
Following is copy of the letters mis-
sive for the ecclesiastical council at the
Church Of the Redeemer next Thursday.
