 A splendid lecture at the Church of the Holy Comforter yesterday morning at II o'clock, and delightful discourse at St. Johns Episcopal Church last night at 7:30 o'clock by Archdeacon Stuck, of Alaska, completed the high ly interesting and enlightening series of addresses delivered in Montgomery of this distinguished churchmah.
 Despite the very unfavorable condi- tion of the weather yesterday morning the Church of the Holy Comforter was well filled when pr. Stuck rose to ad- dress those assembled. The musical program, especially enjoyable for this occasion, was a part of the whole of 8 service that will long be remembered by members of the church. !
 Dr. Stuck graphically described the conditions that exist in Alaska as re- gard the church. and made a most in- teresting story out of the work of the brave missionaries there that are asso cfated with him in theSwork which he is now seeking to further by interest ing the church generally. The Wo- handsome offering for the missionary work in Alaska.
 tsAt the evening service at St Johns Dr. Stuck was equally entertaining In discourse with the theme ever upper most of God is with us." He took oc- casion to call to account some of the so-called scientists, or matter of course people. who accept the majesty of Gods work as mere matters of fact idea with telling effect byg relating some incidents of Alaska. These per- sons ascribe to the laws of nature. and anaiyze for you the reason why the monster accumulations of debris on the bosom of the Yukon float to the head waters. They ascribe it to the forces of physical laws. but they do nd tell you that this is the work of the Great Father in supplying wood with which the inhabitants of the frozen regions build fires and foster life, They will explain to you why the salmon seeks the fresh waters of the upper river for the propagation of their young. Their reasons are true to the laws of nature, but they omit that this is Gods supply of food to those that have but little else to eat. and nothing that is not supplied by his un- limited benefcence."
 Dr. Stuck made an earnest appeal for the extension of the mission work in Alaska. He called on those present to realize that in helping in this great mission work that they are helping themselves and helping in their religion by sending the Word of God into the homes, of those inhabitants that seldom hear the Word of God spoken.
 Throughout this brilliant discourse. he was given the closest attention by the unusually large congregation which attended the service.
 It was Anadvertently stated in The Advertiser yesterday that Dr. Stuck was entertained by the Church Club of St. Johns Church at a banquet at the Exchange. This should have been .'the Church Club" This organization Is composed of members of both the Church of the Holy Comforter and St. Johns. the members of which strive with equal zeal to discharge its pur- poses.
 pr. Stuck will leave this morning for Selma. where he will make several ad- dresses. He will leave Selma for New nrlAana
