RELIGION AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
Rev. Mr.. Woelfkin Begins a Series of
Sunday Services.

Rev. MIR. WoeIfkfn Begins a Series of
sunday Services.
Every seat in the ''pit,'' every seat in the
dress circle and every seat in the boxes had
an occupant yesterday in the Opera House.
Only the abode of the gods-the gallery
was empty. Even the stage was fairly
crowded. 1t was not a Show you've got
to pay to see that. 1t was merely an evan
gelical movement to bring Christianity a
little closer to the masses whe are not in the
habit of attending a place of worship. AS
there was nothing to pay, there was a full
house; and this to Rev. c. Woelfkin, of the
North Baptist Church, the originator of the
movement, was a peculiarly gratifying fact.
There was nothing sectarian about it, and
an agnostic might have been present with
out having his fine sense of know-nothingism
outraged.
aThis will take place." explained Mr..
Woelfkin at the opening of the service,
s'every Sunday afternoon. 1t is not intended
to be a place where Christians can while an
hour and a half away, but where those who
do not go to any orthodox church might hear
the Word of God"
Then, turning to the ladies on the plat
form, he asked them to sing a hymn out OF a
small collection of Gospel hymns specially
arranged for this movement.
Before Miss Katrina Green began to sing,
as a SOLO, UQ6 HTSU verse OIL q nyInn WIFI u
chorus, Come, Oh Come" Mr.. Woelf-
kin made an announcement which every
body appeared to receive with agreeable sur
prise.
"There'l be no collections, n he added, but
if you should wish to help to pay for the
hymn books wen be glad to receive your
mite"
Then, as if the idea had just struck him,
he begged the audience not to pocket the
hymn books, it was easy to slip them, forget
fully, into ones pocket, he said, and asked
them to leave them on the seats when the
meeting was over. Having thus cleared the
decks the service commenced.
The Rev. H. c. Cronin of the Second Pres
byterian Church stepped to the footlights,
only there We're no lights, and read the
twenty-second chapter of st. Matthew as far
as the fourteenth verse.
In a clear voice and with fine emphasis
MI. Cronin recited the parable of the Kings
sons marriage, spoke of the vocation of the
Gentiles and wound up with the direful pun
ishment awarded to him who neglected to
provide a wedding garment.
After this Miss Green sang, in her own
graceful and expressive manner, a solo,
which was followed by a very eloquent
prayer offered by the Rev. William Eakins
of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church.
Another hymn was sung, andthen another
announcement from Mr.. Woelfkin to the
effect that on Sunday afternoon next he
hopes to lave at the services a male quar-
tette and a gentleman with a cornet to lead
the singing.
The remainder of the afternoon was taken
up with an address from Mr.. Woelfkin,
whose earnest words on salvation were in
tently listened to and with good results, for
many at the close of the services signified
their intention of doing those things they
ought to do, and leaving undone those things
which ought not to be lone.

HOBOKEN COUNCILMEN SCARED.
Their Conduct of Affairs Needs In.
vAaff0nffnn

vestigat1On.
The exclusive publication in THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS Saturday of the verdrawing of
the poor fund in Hoboken caused much sur
prise, and the subject was much talked about
yesterday. It was denounced on all sides as
matter of culpable negligence. 1t has been
common talk for some time past that the
majority of the Councilmen conducted the
affairs in a careless manner. The result
will be made evident in the spring, when
Kelly, Weinthal and Snyder will be refused
a denomination.
The Committee ON Aims of the Hoboken
Common Council comprises Messrs. Snyder,
Weinthal, Stegman and Kelly.
When they learned through these columns
on Saturday the condition of affairs they
turned pale. They actually didn't know how
matters stood, although it is customary for
them to receive at every meeting of the
Council from the Comptroller a statement of
the condition OF the city's finances. These
worthy Councilmen will ask the city to APP
propriate $1,000 or more at its next meeting.
