In view of this notable event various of the churches of the city, as announced in our church news column, will omit their evening services to-mor- irow in order that their congregations may attend the services at Center church. Dr. Boynton the speaker of the evening, was graduated at Amherst in 1879 and at Andover in 1882. He is widely known as a ripe scholar and an eloquent preacher. His church in De- troit, one of the largest in the country, is crowded morning and evening, mo- ticeably by young men and women.
