 There was large attendance at the East Pearl Street M. sE. church yester- day morning at the interesting ser vices attending the dedication of the new bell just erected in the tower of the church. The sermon was preached by Presiding elder Richard, in which ne made brief mention of the event. Al. the close of! the sermon, the officials of the church gathered in front Of the platform, and the pastor of the church. jtey! E. e. Tullar, presented the bell on behalf of the donor, Frederick Mans field of Quninnipiac avenue, who, oW- Ing to i'll health, was unableto be pres-s ent. MT. Tullar alluded to MT. and Mrs. Mansfield, who in the evening time of life was deprived of the oppor- tunity of attending at the church where they had been identified for so long a time. It was MT. Mansfeld's desireto give this beautiful bell, whose voice should ring out after his death for the good of the cause of God and this church. He then presented the bell to the church. Presiding Elder Richard read the church service for such occasions, and the choir and con gregation sang the Doxology The words, .sIn the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Ghost were pro- nounced, and the bell was tolled three times, and as the congregation dis bursed. it pealed forth it's notes of joy. The bell was rung by William Newton, of the official board. The bell weighs 1,SO0 pounds and cost about $l,00o. M Mansfield, the donor, has been identified with the church many wears, has been one of it's liberal ben- efactors and officers, but with the in ffrnaities of age, has not been able to < attend for several months. During MT. Tullar's remarks, he removed a silk flag which covered a marble slab about two feet square, inscribed with the name of the donor of the bell and the date, andsWhich is to be erected in the yestibule after the lettering has been covered with gold leaf. He also allud- ed to the donation of new pulpit fur riture and carpet by the Ladies' Aid society and of the new reading desk, brass railing and pedestals from a donor whose name has been withheld. These new appointments were in place and inspected yesterday for the first time In the evening an interesting praise service was given before 8 large congregation, closing a Sabbath of very great interest to this church and con- gregation.
