 At the East Pearl Street M. E. church | yesterday morning the pastor, Rev. E. ! c. Tullar, preached on "A Redeemed l New Haven" and said in part:
 Nevertheless, we. according to His promise, look for a new heaven and a | new earth, wherein dwelleth righteous l ness''-ii. Peter, 3:13. "I, John, saw the 1 holy city coming down from God out of 1 heaven'-Rev. 21:2.
 History of the City: First city founded by the first murderer, but prophets and apostles, with John on Patmos, had visions of new and re- deemed civilization-a city where puri- ty, holiness and Godlikeness would be regnant principles.
 Are these principles seen in the gov- ernment of New Haven? This is prop 1 CT question to be discussed in the pull ] pit. The boss the machine the gov- 1 ernment for money, for graft, and not for public good, was denounced, with illustrations taken for present condi- tions in New Haven. Contrast the 1 teachings of church and Sunday school with the example of city officials who allow Sabbath esecration-footbail and baseball, trotting horses on one of the 1 leading avenues of the city, which is a menace and nuisance to church and Sunday schools, as well as to the ser vices held at the Home of the Friend less and the quiet Sunday afternoon of the residents in that section. With a city ordinance forbidding greater speed than six to eight miles an hour, why should a quiet avenue be turned into race track and sustained by city off,
 cia1F whose duty it is to suppress these
 things?
 "The governed of our city are cos- lmopolitan. Thirty nationalities with as many languages make up our New Ha- ven life. These nationalities ought to conform to, an American spirit; be taught to observe an American Sab bath; to be impressed with the fact that
 ours is the land of the free and the home of the brave,' and not the land flor a spree and the home of the knaVe.'
 City evangelization means that these different nationalities are to be Chris tianized; the atmosphere of our public schools; an awakened zeal and enthu-
 siasm on the part of our churches; the consecration and concentration of in- dividual effort for the betting of condi- tions. was urged. Enough to help the
 poor outcast and abandoned when these come to us and confess that they are
 such: too few who will go and find the
 uotcast to lift them up; too few who
 will combine influence and prayers to create an environment where it will be
 impossible for men and women, boys
 and birls, to become 'outcasts.
 The evangelical services which have been conducted the past week at the
 Grand Avenue Congregational cnurch by Rev. Dr. Sheath, assisted by William
 E. Fairbank, of Middletown, and George
 Moore, of Bridgeport, soloists, were concluded last evening. These meetings have been we'll attended; thirty have
 rose for prayers and there is prospect
 that about fifty have been converted.
 At the session of the Sunday school yesterday sixty children arose and re-
 quested prayers. People from the oth-
 CT churches have attended.
 Dr. Sheath made a request to all the Fair Haven pastors that they refer yes
 terday in the religious services to Sum- | or1 nv fo
 enter a protest, and this was done. Dr.
 Sheath made particular reference to the .. matter in his own pulpit. He said it : was against the laws of the city and in-
 terrupted church worship and Sunday 7 rest.
 The funeral of Robert B. Meek was
 largely attended yesterday afternoon
 from his home, 20 Woolsey street, Rev.
 Dr. Sheath officiating. There was a profusion of flowers, including floral of-
 ferings from shopmates of the deceased
 and the Fraternal Benefit league. The remains will be taken to-day to Whit . insville, Mass, for burial.
 , Saturday evening Mrs. Walter S. Bishop, of Grand avenue, chairman of , the committee which had charge of the SIIl 1SLlIIoS ItOuSG party gwen several 1 days and evenings under the auspices of the ladies' auxiliary of the Y. M. c. A., received from the ladies, as an ex- l pression for her faithful services an elegant mirror in a gilt frame. It was
 a worthy recognition of Mrs. Bishop's 5 effective lab0rs.
 ! Mrs. Caroline, widow of Joseph Mer- chant, until two years ago residing at . 2S2 Grand avenue, died at the home of , her daughter, Mrs. James M. Moore, 1T | Vernon street, Hartford, Saturday, in
 the eighty-second year of her age. Her
 maiden name was Statia and she was a
 native of Granvilleg Washington coun-
 ty, New York, where her two brothers = reside. Mrs. Merchant had resided in
 New Haven for fifty years. She had a shock at her home two years ago and fell downstairs, and her death was due 5 to these causes. The burial will take , place at the Fair Haven cemetery this : afternoon at Bis and Rev. D. J. Clark f of East Haven, will officiate at the bur- 7 ial services.
