Notes of the Churches.

The concluding open-air union service
for the present summer was held last
Sunday evening, and it was a very de-
iightfuI occasion. The large congrega-
ton listened attentively to an able ser
mon by Rev. |. D. NORMAN, OF the Lutfi-
eran Church, and joined in singing the
spirited hymns that were rendered. Al
ter the sermon, Rev. Absalom Knox spoke
briefly concerning the success OF the
meetings and the interest shown in them,
and expressed the thanks of the minis
tiers and the people generally to the choir
and all who had helped in the good work.
As mark OF appreciation he presented,
on behalf OF the several ministers. a nice
music rack to Prof. ]. D. Muldoon, who
had conducted the music so satisfactorily.

the accompanist. He called upon the
audience to give in addition rising vote
OF thanks, which was heartily done. We
think that everybody greatly enjoyed
these services this summer, for there
were large congregations at each meeting
and much interest was manifested. They
have done good, we believe, and we
shall hope 10 have the programme re-
newed next summer.
