The Christmas music proved an at-
tractive feature at the morning service
in the East Avenue Methodist Episcopal
;,church. yesterday. The sacraments
1r administered by the pastor. and
new convert was received on proba-
tion. In the evening Rev. A. J. Smith
preached for Rev. A. H. Wyatt, who is
sick. Rev. Charles E. Benedict, in the
absence of the pastor. took eutirc charge
of the revival services. A chorus of
about thirty voices opened with a most
soulvinspiriug praise service of half an
hour, from the new book, Sacred Songs.
The duet “ Saved by Grace,” by Mrs.
Charles Simone and Mrs. Smith L’Hom -
median, was rendered with great expres-
sion and was very impressive. An ex-
cellent discourse followed upon the Holy
Spirit. First He was presented as the
teacher, second as the comforter, third
asthe reprover. The reminiscences of
the revival in Wesleyan college in 1895,
were listened to with rapt attention.
Nearly all the large audience remained
to a most interesting alter-meeting.
The fight which was arranged to take
place in Meriden, last Friday afternoon,
between Lew Webster, of East Norwalk,
and Jimmy Lynch, of Naugatuck, did
not come oil. A license was secured
from Mayor Cos, permitting the light
to take place, but Chief at Police Ford
interfered and declared that he would
stop the fight. The managers decided,
in order to avoid possible trouble, to
postpone the fight, which will take place
- in the near future, the date to be an-
nounced later.
The young ladies of the East Avenue

Mrs. Frank Seymour decided unanimous-
ly in favor,» of the young men and the
Competitor was declared to be the prize
winner.
