arrangement under which he can De netIu
only on Sunday evenings. The Suncay
morning services are attended by about the
number of persons that usually has been
seen in the church at that service but at
the Sunday evening services the crush has
been so great as to compel the intervention
of twelve or fifteen policemen to preserve
order and prevent accident.
Dr. Talmage has taken 10 part IN lhe
dispute that has been brought on by the
effort to prevent him from preaching on
Sunday mornings. The settlement OF thas
dispute viii remain with tie officers OF
the church. There is no doubt that IL VIII

officers and the congregation. The PresDy-
terry is to consider the matter at a meeting
