Large crowds visited the various
parks, and Delaware avenue and other
popular promenades were crowded
with pedestrians. Many of the visitors
to tho park seemed to think there
should be spring flowers there and
they naturally looked for them but
came away without them. One days

bloom. The churches were we'll at

that the movement of fans reminded

known for April Sd for ten years at

Rev. A. N. Ke.gwin preached an in
teresting sermon on mission work in
the West Presbyterian Church, on Sun
day morning, from the 9th verso Of
the tenth chapter of Collosians. After
nlluding to the opportunity presented
for Christian effort, hereferred to what
the church had done. and appeared to
hold that 1t had not been aselfectivo as
itmight have been, had the members
been more Jealous In spreading tho
truths of the gospel, and endeavoring
to promote the cause OF Christ.
He alluded to the various hereSieS
that bad prevailed, as well as to the ig-
norance and superstition OF tho peo-
pie in the various ages through which
the world has passed, and also to the
wiles OF priests and prelates. He dwelt
at some length on the opportunities
presented for the dissemination OF
christian doctrines, and expressed tho
opinion that there is less real piety
and self denial in the church to day
than at any former period in its his
tory, an earnest christian being now
called a crank, and made ii subject OF
ridicule.
He thought false religion was bet
ter than no religion at all, and bewail-
cd the Ignorance that prevailed among
the children In the public schools, and
to the existence OF a Supreme Being.
| He said 1t was tho duty of Christians
to gather these ignorant ones Into the
church and fill up the pews IL waa
| time that the methods should be
changed in order that the gospel should
be preached to every creature, He re-
ferred to the different schools that had
been introduced In connection with
church work in New York, and other

such institutions.

such an invocation would not effect

who had sat in thelr pews 50 10 Ug as
to make holes in the cushions, and
felt out of humor II asked to give
seats to strangers, should change
their tactics as giving up their seat;

Mr. keigwin enforced his different
