 Andrews Chureh-Eysning Sermon by
 Rev. Joseph Pullman. D. ID.
 The fourth day of the "camp meet ing" which Is being held at the Grace NJ. E. church this week to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the dedication of the church. passed off very pleas antiy, the services being attended by large numbers. At 2 o'clock in the after noon the willing workers meeting was led by Mrs. Crandall J. North. wife of Presiding Elder North. The church was well filled, and after some excellent singing by the choir Mrs. North spoke of the many opportunities given to women for the uplifting of the race. She gave a number of notable instances of men and women whom she had i:nowr in different churches of which her husband had been the pastor. who mad been exceptionally fine workers. She said that every woman could so plan her work, though she had the cares Of family upon her. to find few mo- merts every day for Christian work. and that there was much work which busy pastors were not ably to do, but which could and should be done by the women Of the churches. Her remarks were most excellent and the audience paid the closest attention.
 At o'clock the Rev. M. M. Carr of St. Andrews church preached from the text, "Biessed are they which do hun ger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filed" Matthew 5, 6. Mr. Carr has been laboring at St. An dIcw's sirce April fast. and Is having remarkably successful year. Many of his own people were present, as well as those from other churches, to avail themselves of this opportunity to hear him. MT. Carr has most pleasing presence and an excellent delivery. His style is conversational and very enter taining. He preached very fine ser mon, full of encouragement for the churches which, he said, was to save and purify the world, that ultimately right would prevail, and that the gold en age was not in the past, but far ahead; that this world was not a sink ing hulk of a once fair ship soon to go to the bottom, but a grand man-of-war with some rotten timbers, and many things out of repair; but the decayed timbers would be replaced by new ones, and the church would make the re- pairs, till all things should be new, and strong, and neat, and clean.
 At 4:15 the childrens gospel meeting was held. This was led by Rev. MT. Sco- field, pastor of the Grace M. E. church. The subject was, Commercials; Dollars and Men," There was a large number of children present, and he showed them some counterfeit money to illus trate to them the difference between the real and the false. It was a most in teresting meeting, and was greatly en- joyed by the children.
 The ladies of the church are serving supper at the church at o'clock every evening throughout the week. Last night the price was reduced to fifteen cents, with the result that a large number were present. Grace was said by Rev. Rufus T. Cooper of the Epworth M. E. church.
 In the evening Rev. Joseph Pullman, D. D., preached to a crowded house. Dr. Pullman made few remarks con- corning his pastorate in the George street M. E. church twenty-five years ago. He spoke especially of the charac- ter of the grand men who were then the leading men of the church, men, tioning particularly William o. Arm strong and Charles Plumb. He then preachd a sermon of great persuasive ness and power. The audience listened with the closest attention and interest. His theme was the conversion of the dying thief, taken from Luke xxiii., 43. His introduction was the crucifixion of Jesus with His sayings on the cross.
 He spoke especially of the fact that one of the thieves crucified with Jesus
 turned to Christ for help and the other
 did not, and mentioned several in-
 stances in life where one man had turn ed to Christ and had found eternal life and another, refusing, had lost the op- portunity. In conclusion he mentioned the character of the prayer as contain. ing the characteristics of all true prayer
 and closed with glorious tribute tc Jesus.

Linell made very felicitous pre- sentation speech, in which he spoke o1 the various banners of states and soci eties and their meaning, that the em blem of America always meant victory
