People OF religious inclination found
the churches, for there were special ser
vice In nearly all of them.
Sunett's festival cantatta was sung by
| the choir and congregation of Rev. DR..
| Henry A. Stinsons Broadway Taberna-
Gle in the morning. DIR. Mac Arthur gave
some object lessons in American politics
at Calvary Baptist Church, and after
the service n mountain of fruits and
vegetables that had rested on the plat
form was melted away in listribution
to the poor. Rev. stephen S. Wise de-
livered a Thanksgiving sermon at the
Jewish Temple to the congregation
B'nai Jeshurim,, and there were special
| services in nearly all the other churches
| and Synngogues of the city.
Perhaps the most, interesting Of the
church services to-day is that ot the
congregation Of the Prick Church and
| the Church Of the Covenant. For years
they have united in the Thanksgiving
service. To-day they met az the Brick
Church, Fifth avenue and Thirty-seVenth
street. and the meeting was of peculiar
significance, as the Church of the Gov
enant is going out of existence to merge
with the Brick. Church forever;
and Rev j. H. McIfvaine. of the Cove
nant. appeared together in the pulpit,
the former conducting the services, the
other delivering the sermon. 1t was in
the old Brick Church which stood on the
triangle between Nassau and Beekman
streets and Park Row that were held
the authorities OF New York in l7Sa after
the British soldiers had evacuated the
city.
