In the first place the tone quality is wonderfully pure and sweet, as we'll 6 full and powerful, in the higher registers clear and brilliant, and it is only by hearing the choir that one can appreciate its exeel- lence.
 All tho work of the choir is admirable for olearness of enunoiation, the rare spirit and vigor with which the psalms are chantsd being especially noticeable.
 The most striking number upon the whole order of music yesterday was the offertory. Prof. Bonnsy selected for this the beautiful part anthem from Spohr's "Cruoinxion" "Aa Pants the Hart" @'s
 This anthem, with the soprano obligato by Albert Ro0owski, was sung in c most credit able manner. The boys voice, which is nat- urally one of rare beauty, rising full, clear, and with exquisite sweetness above the full choir of thirty voices.
 These services, which regularly occur on the last Sunday afternoon of each month, are very largely attended and the interest is con- stantly increasing, not only on account of the high class of music provided, but the ex- traordinary effects produced by the choir under the direction of Prof. Bonney.

HoreiEn M1sslOn Work in General
 An InterestiDkAdd Address.
 At the Church of the Messiah yesterday morning Rev. L. H. Squires spoke about foreign mission work in general, and especial ly of the new mission to Japan which the Universalist Church is starting; $25, 900 has recently been raised and Rev. George l.. Perrin of Boston, one of the best men in the denomination, engaged as leader of the mis- sion. He will take three assistants with him and will enter at once upon the work.
 Ar. squires described the condition of Japan, the wonderful changes that have transpired there in recent years, and the cir cumstances which now make it particularly favorable field for the acceptance of Q liberal Christianity. He quoted from the Christian Union and from missionaries in Japan show ing that the Japanese do not want our sys- tems of Medieval theology, nor our narrow sectarian controversies; that "to send to Japan, China or India the sermons of John Wesley, the litany of the Anglican Church, the Confession of the Presbyterian Church, or the theology of New England, would be to travesty the command of the Master to preach the Gospel to every creature." But they do need the great and inspiring doc- trines of the brotherhood of man binding all m0n tOR0tn01 ID common eHoft IOf the common veal; and the Fatherhood of God, converting religion from terror into hope, from dread into love, and leading men out from the apathy of despair into life of promise and glad expectancy.
 MT. Squires spoke of the opposition to foreign missions in their beginning in the | orthodox churches-how Sidney Smith ridi- ouled them; that Dr. Dwight of Yale college thought them unwise; that Edward Everett dsrided them; that in Pennington, Conn. the six members of the first meeting of the American board were booted at in tho streets. Yet missions have become the nineteenth century miracle. They have opened the way \ for commerce; they have created new litera lures in pagan languages; they have broker down the walls of separation and brought alien races nearer together.
 In conclusion the speaker appealed to thu congregation to join with the other churches in support of the movement and a liberal rs sponse was made, offering more than tn l pastor had called for. Yesterday the da,
 was observed generally in tho Universalis
 churches as Japan Sunday.
