Sunday in Our Churches.

Sunday was AN ideal September
day in the natural world Our church
es were all open, the regular pastors
occupying their respective pulplts eN-
cept that Rev. Mr.. Lancaster, Of Perth
Amboy, y. j., preached AT the EplS
copal Church, and the congregations
were large and interested.
The Methodists occupied their new
lecture room for the first for Sunday
school and preaching services, and
while not yet finished it is convenient
and comfortable.
The addition Of the Normal girls
not only makes our congregations large
but their presence gives new charm 10
them. The music Of our churches
was never so good and this adds
greatly to the public worship OF
Almighty God. This better church
music is being secured by more con-
scientious and persistent practiclng on
the part Of the chOirs. we nOuced
that on last Sunday Immediately fol-
lowing the morning services at the
Methodist Church, the choir began at
once to practice for the night services,
and such practice will make perfect
Before this congregation left the
lecture room at the morning hour OF
worship they raised 5000 towards a
pipe organ. II may take as nuch
more, for such a church building IL
entitled to the best, but those people
have gotten into the habit OF "doing
things" and will have the balance on
time. Professor Nation, Of the Nor
nal faculty, united with this church
