THE SUNDAY SERVICES.
LARGE concentrations, SPLENDID
MUSIC AND ABLE SERMONS.
Rev Edward Thompson Of the Sunday
League of America Held Three Ser
wees at Different Churches.

The church services yesterday we're gen
orally very well attended. The morning
services all had large congregations and
the attendance upon the evening services
was much larger than was expected owing
TO the sudden 'norther" which had blown
down on the city during the afternoon.
WINE there was no special song service
al any OF the churches, yet the singing at
all OF them was well up TO the standard,
ana the improvement In the new choirs is
very noted. A special feature Of the serv-
ices yesterday was the meetings held by
Rev. Edward Thompson who represents
Tue sunday League Of America, and VINO
visiting this city IN the interest OF the
SUNDAY league and for the purpose Of build
ing up ana educating both public and IN
uNldual sentiment regarding the proper OBJ
serVance OF Gods holy day and against the
ueseciatlon or the day by unn accessory Dusl-
ness ana pleasures. Rev. Thompson Is Il
very pleasant and f0rclbc speaker and at
cach OF ms three appointments Yesterday

ne at least thinks he understands the rem
esdles to be applied ana how to apply them
lie reasons well and logically md 10y this
reason gives proof of his earnestncss and
