A Fine Service.

T Services last Sabbath morning at the
Presbyterian church were very fine
throughout The anthem "aarkl
Harkl My Soul," by Schelley, one Of
the most popular of church anthems,
was sung with unusual excellence, by
the choir, and the solo, ''The Lord Is
My Light" by Alliston. sung by Mrs.
/. H. Ellis, of Chicago, was as fine as
was ever heard in the church. Mrs.
Ellis is a trained singer of remarkable
voice, and her singing was splendid.
1t was q treat to hear her, and the au-
dience was delighted. The sermon by
Rev E. H. Adriance was q model, and
bristled with gems It was gospel
sermon, plain and clear, but of great
force, and beauty. The house was well
filed and the large audience were
much profted by the service.

The. large congregation that assem-
bled at the Methodist church, Sunday
morning last, enjoyed an hour of divine
service seldom equalled in our city.
The sermon by the pastor, DIR. t. H.
Campbell, was ore Of his best, and the
solo by Miss Cotton, and the trio by
Miss Cotton, Mr.. Fulton and DIR. Miles,
were delightful. 1t was not an infre-
quent remark, 1--WE never had better
service" There are many people. in
Bellefontaine who do not attend divine
services, who would be much pleased II
they would come, most any Sabbath, into
any OF our churches.
