Notwithstanding the fact that as rule
the churches in this city are SHINY at
tended at this season Of the year, Rev.
Ezra Tinker, L. l. d., pastor of Asbury
NJ E. Church, possesses the power of at.
tracing an audience to the historic church
which no serves. Apart from having a
large degree of magnetism he also pos.
sessos the rare gift Of instructing his con
gregatiun in the truths of the gospel.
The members Of Asbury express them,
selves as being very much pleased with
their new pastor. The doctor is fearless
in denouncing sin and wickedness, when
occasion requires it, and he fearlessly
welds the sword of the Spirit, cutting
right and left.
The doctor chose as his theme for the
morning sermon, Love" The entire
sermon was listened to with intense In
terest, and pronounced by many as being
OF great merit.
The evening sermon was listened to by
IA good audience. The theme or subject
was 1.-THE Crime of Grimes" This was ar
able contribution to the cause of temper
unce and sobrety. The doctor caimct
that intemperancc and the rum traffic was
the crime of crimes. He remarked thai
having lived in the state of Maine hi
could testify that prohibition was u sue
cess and not failure, as some claim it tc
be, The preacher paid fine tribute tt

New York. striking Tailor. CONFIDENT.

New York, July 97.--An all day meet
ing was held BY the striking tailors of this
city In Walhalla Hall yesterday. The sub,
stance of the remarks made by the various
speakers was to the effect that no COM
promise with the contractors should be
made; that the strikers must stand firm
and accept nothing but victory. The fact
that some Of the contractors who had in
the past combatted the tailors have now
joined hands with them is regarded by the
leaders as significant, and is taken as an
omen of success for the tailors in their con.
flict for the entire abolition Of the sweat
shop system, the increase of the weekly
scale Of wages, and for fixed weekly toll
standard OF afty-nine hours. 1t Is esti.
mated that fully 10000 hands are now idle
on account Of the strike in this city and
vicinity.
