Albany, n. Y.-Special.-The con-
gregation was the largest for some
time that listened to the very interest
ing sermon delivered by Rev. j. H.
Este, at Hamilton street A NJ. e.
church Sunday evening. And the
choir showed the effects of their re-
cent rehearsal. The singing was re-
markable. The chorister, soloists, the
assistance of a good tenor and two or
more bassos to equalize the voices of
the ladies. Nevertheless the choir
will challenge any choir of it's equal
ity. Tie anthem, Awake" and "Je-
sus, Lover of My Soul" were rem
dered very creditably. A good collec-
tiOn was taken up, after which re-
marks concerning the repairing of the
organ were made by the pastor. There
