 New EngIand's Best Life.
 4 union service for Congregational churches was held at Center church yesterday morning and was addressed by Rev. Dr. Smyth. His subject was in reference to the recent inter-church conference and was entitled: The Common Opportunities and Obligations of Our COngrega ti0nal Churches" The sermon was delivered in response to a letter printed Thursday from the Con- gregationai union of New Haven re- questing Dr. Smyth to deliver a sermon in respect to the growing spirit of unity among Christian churches.
 Dr. Smyth spoke without notes, . so that the Journal and Courier gives an abstract only of the points of his ser mon. His text was: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of pow CT and of love. and of a sound mind. y l, Tim. i, 2.
 Let me use the text in justifiable rendering of it. which may put us in closer contact with the moral electricity of it: God hath not given us the spirit of cowardice, but of powerful love and sound-minded control.
 Let our Thanksgiving sermon follow the bugle call of this text. In speaking of duties for us as Congregat to face, and victories for us to win, am not Enmindful of the national char acter of this Thanksgiving day; for the history of our Congregational churches fin New England has been wrought into the history of our whole country. Nor do forget that our Congregational work to be fulfilled is but our part and obligation in the one call and hope of all Christian churches.
 Daniel Webster in his speech on the Girard will case said: At the meeting of the first congress there was doubt an the minds of many about the pro priety of opening the session with prayer, and the reason assigned was, as here, the great diversity of opinion and religious belief; until at last Mir. Sam uel Adams, with his gray hairs hang ing about his shoulders, and with an impressive venerableness now seldom to be met with-rose in that assembly, and with an air of a perfect Puritan, said, it did not become men protesting to be Christian men, who had come to- gether for solemn deliberation in the hour of their extremity to say that there was so wide difference in their religious belief that they could not, as one man, bow the knee in prayer to the Almighty, whose advice and assistance they hoped to obtain. And indepen- dent as he was. and an enemy of all prelacy as he was known to be- he moved that the Rev. MT. Dushe, of the Episcopal church, should address the throne of grace in prayer, and John Adams in his letter to his wife, says that he never saw more moving spec tacle. MT. Dushe read the Episcopal service of the Church of England, and then, as if moved by the occasion broke out into extemporaneous prayer And those men who were then about to re- sort to force to obtain their rights, were moved to tears; and floods of
