ant Episc opal sunday School Union Of
Richmond was held at It. Johns church
Sunday afternoon, President Thomas
Potts in the chair. The opening service was
conducted by the rector, Rev. Dr. Lewis W.

school. Excellent addresses were made by

bama. and Major Robert stiles. \ large

| BROAD-sTREET METHODIST CHURCH.
i A very large congregation was present
sunday morning TO hear the opening SER
mon OF Rev. DR.. W. Y. Tudor, the newly
appointed pastor, who gave As his text,
Proverbs. 22d chapter. 10Th verse: ",eesi
thou man diligent in business; he shall
stand before kings; he shall not stand be-
fore mean men," At the evening service
| another largecSOngregati0n.a ssemDled. and
DR.. Tudor preached an able sermon on the
voyage Of life,
Or. GOODWIN,
The impression has been abroad that DR..
:. A. Goodwin, of the GrOye-Ayenue Bap-
list church, went TO Columbia, Mo-, few
DAYS ago with "a view Of reccy-
! Ing call there. This rumor proves
untrue. In communication received
bv one Of his deacOns here ycster-
day afternoon DR.. Goodwin says that he has
no idea Of leaving Richmond; that he went
itO Columbia upon the urgent invitation Of
pastor and people there to assist I'D revival
service in which he is meeting with great
success
The rumor that he will accept call TO
Bristol is without the least foundation.
