THE SERVICES SUNDAY.
Thousands of people attended the ser
vices at the various churches in the city
yesterday, nearly all the pulpits being
occupied by visiting members of the con-
ference.
The chief centre of interest was, OF
course, West Market Street church, where
the sessions of the conference are being
held, and there was almost continuous
service from $3.50 a. m, when the love-
feast was held until the close of the COM
munion service at p. IN.
The love- feast was attended by a large
congregation, and at its close when Old
Fathers Ivey. Helobeck and other veteran
soldiers spoke of their trials and hard
ships along the journey of life, and
through the trying ordeals of the timer
ant ministry; there were few dry eyes
in the house. Three or four preachers
shouted aloud and altogether it was a
scene never TO be forgotten.
The bishop preached at IL o'clock, and
every available foot of standing room
was taken-the congregation numbering
about 1000.
His text was Psalms 1866, and to say
that it was a strong, able and convincing
sermon is putting it very mildly. He
preached nearly one hour and half and
yet no one seemed tired. The discourse
was addressed more especially to the
young preachers, though much of the SER
mon was of general application. At the
close of the sermon the following class
of deacons was ordered: r. c. Craven,
John p. Davis, Jesse II. Barnhardt, j. b.
Doughton, p. T. Durham, NJ M. Ratch-
ford.
Rev. R. NJ. Hoyle preached in the after
noon at o'clock. The sermon was strik-
ing and original
Only communion service was held at
night and large congregation was pres
ent in spite of the rain.
