    CITY BIJLEETIN.
RELIGIOUS—SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNlTER
amtv.—Tbe Presbyterian Church, at the
corner of Fourth and Pine streets, of which
the late Rev. Thomas Brainerd was pastor
for many years, was densely crowded yes
terday afternoon, even to the extent of the
vestibule, on the occasion of the annual an
niversary of the Sunday Schools attached to
or under the fostering care of the congrega
tion. The interior of the church is yet
draped in the emblems of mourning, in re
spect to the memory of the late lamented
and beloved pastor. The front of the gal
leries is festooned in black, and the altar or
pulpit is also tastefully clothed in habili
ments signifying death. On the front of
the pulpit are these words, in letters of
silver, "Blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord."
Upon the occasion of yesterday, the cele
bration was rather of a triune character,
there being three Sunday-schools present,
namely, Old Pine street Sabbath school,
Robert Raikes mission school,and Brainerd
mission school. These organization had
white silk banners, appropriately inscribed,
to distinguish them from each other.
The ceremonies were deeply impressive
and interesting. One year since the Rev.
Mr. Brainerd, under whose ministerial
tuition many of the members bad grown up
from childhood's fleeting hours,. officiated
upon the anniversary at that time.. Now
his place is vacant; his lips are dumb in the
chili embrace of death. The events of the
short past had visible effect upon many
who were crowded together yesterday.
The proceedings were commenced by the
reading of some verses of Scripture, after
which an address to the Throne of Love
and Grace was delivered by the Rev. Wm
B. Collis.
A hymn, entitled "There's joy in Jean's
love,' was now sung, in which the children
and congregation joined in fall chorus.
The report of the school was then read,
from which it appears the organization is in
a flourishing condition. The number of
scholars has augmented since the last an
nual meetins.
After singing another hymn, "The Angels
in the Air, ' an appropriate address was pro
nounced by the Rev. John K. F. Stites, the
missionary of the American Sunday School
Union. He enunciated very distinctly and
in such plain language as to suit the young
minds of the youth before him. He was
followed by the Rev. Alfred Cookman, whose
eloquent remarks elicited the most profound
attention.
The quiet solemnity that pervaded the au
dience, most of which was composed of Sun
day School children, speaks well for the dis
cipline under which they have been so well
trained.
INTERESTING OCCASION AMONG SUNDAY
Scfloor. CHILDREN.—The Spring Garden
M. E. Church, Rev. Alfred Cookman pastor,
was the scene of a grand jubilee yesterday
afternoon. It was determined by the mana
gers of the centenary fund some weeks
mime that every child who contributed a
certain amount to that fund should receive a
medaL Some of the members of the church,
however, concluded that all of the children
should bei made happy, and accordingly a
medal was prepared for each child whose
name is enrolled on the books of the Sab
bath School.
Yesterday being the monthly meeting of
the missionary society, it was thought to be
an appronriate occasion to make the distri
bution. - Long before the hour fixed for the
ceremonies, four hundred bright, beautiful
and well - dressed children filled up the body
of the church, all anxious to be the recip
ient of one of the medals.
Rev. Dr. Carrol and Rev. James Neal ad
dressed the children briefly, referring to the
good accomplished by missions, and the ne
cessity for keeping them up to a high stand
ard in the church.
The reports showed that during the past
month $lO2 were contributed for missions.
The amount received for the centenary
fond since the anniversary has reached the
handsome sum of $9OO, which will be appro
priated to the endowment of Dickinson Col
lege.
The medals distributed are of two sizes,
the greatest being as largess a double eagle,
and the other the size of an eagle, if any one
can recollect the gold coin of these denomi
nations, The former has a bust of John
Wesley, surmounted with the inscription:
"The World is my Parish."
Beneath is the inscription :
"Founder of Methodism."
On the reverse is the following historical
inscription :
"Origin of American Methodism, 1776."
"First American Conference held in St.
'George's Church, Philadelphia,
July 4th, 1773,"
"Methodist Episcopal Church, organized in
Baltimore, Md., Dec. 25th, 1784."
"Members in 1866, 2,000,000."
The small medal has a representation of
Mrs. Wesley, sitting in a chair with a Bible
in her lap, and her son is kneeling before
her, while she has ber finger pointing up
wards,, as though in the act of explaining
some passage of Scripture.
This scene is surrounded with the inscrip
tion: "Mrs. Susanna Wesley teaching her
son John."
Beneath is the inscription : " Feed My
Lambs." .
On the reverse is a representation of Dick
inson College building,surrounded with the
inscription: "Sunday School Centenary
Offering."
Beneath is the inscription: "Religion and
Science, 1866."
Each of the medals was wrapped up in
cotton ' and encased in a handsome box.
After the ceremonies, the children went
home with their presents tightly grasped in
their tiny hands. The idea is a pretty one,
and their memories will be dearly cherished
and handed down to posterity in many in
stances as reminiscences of the Sabbath
school of Spring Garden M. E. Church.
THE C.HICFRONMEN'S MISSIONARY Asso
ciATioN.—The nineteenth anniversary of
the Churchmen's Missionary Association
for Seamen of the Port of Philadelphia was
held last evening in the church of the
Epiphany, northwest corner of Fifceenth
and Chestnut streets. The large structure
was well filled with an audience who ap
peared to take a lively interest in the wel
fare of the association. The mission was
founded in A. D. 1847. Daring that year a
floating chapel was built for the benefit of
seamen and their families. It will be re-
membered by a • large number of the
readers of The Press that the chapel was
anchored in the Delaware at Spruce street
wharf, from which it was removed several
years ago. Shortly after its removal another
building, known as the Seamen's Chapel,
was erected at, the corner of Catharine and
Swanson streets, in which religions services
have since been held. The exercises at the
anniversary last evening were opened wish
prayer, and the singing of appropriate
hymns by the choir. After which the report
of the board of managers and the missionary,
the Rev. Washington B. Erben, was read.
The reportovhich will be found of interest,
iB as folldwe:
Raving given every month to the board,
a detailed report of the progress of the work,
the missionary, in making his annual
report, begs leave to present only a brief
summary of the general results obtained
during the past year. While the missionary
regrets that he has not been able to do very
much more, still he is gratified by the
thought that his labors to promote the gospel
among this special class have not been
altogether in vain. The work has been
done quietly and without much outside
show, tint it has been done steadily, and as
systematically as possible. The Free Church
of the Redeemer has been open for-divine
service twice every Sunday, and occasional
service and course of lectures have been held
during the week. • _
By personal invitation of seamen's board
g- houses and other places where seamen
resort, and, by a liberal distribution of
printed notices we have endeavored;to at
tract as many sailors_to our services aS pos
sible.
Between 200 and 300 strange seamen have
worshiped inl our church. To all strange
seamen an invitation is given from the
chancel to remain after service, when the
missionary will be glad to see them and
give them a few good books. From the na
ture of his calling, the sailor is not able to
attend church, and is deprived of ordinary
religious advantages as well as separation
from restraint of social and domestic influ
ences. We have, by a liberal distribn
,tion of Bibles, prayer books, and other
good books, taken the most ettactual and
only possible way in religion to encourage,
to piety the men on their vovage,by sending
with them the printed teacher. The books
are gratefully received, and the missionary
is frequently applied to by friends of absent
or deputing seamen, for religious books.
Cases are constantly occurring which show
that good is being done through this instru
mentality. Two young sailors on a foreign
ship having received prayer books, and
returning to the port after two years,
came and requested Bibles. Very often one
having received a book will return to the
next service with more of the crew and de
sire Bibles or prayer books. So far as
our means will. allow we giie to each
man a few books with the request that after
he has read them himself he will give them
to his shipmates, and thus we endeavor to
turn them out missionaries of ' the Church
and Christ. Another department of onr
work is that of parochial missionary labor
amongstseamen's families. This does not
differ from parochial missionary work ex.-
cept of our labors. This part of our work is
increasing : Some three hundred families
are now visited by the missionary, who is
in most cases the only clergyman of any
kind who is generally known to them.
During the year there have been—baptisms,
52; burials, 67; marriages, 10; number of
communicants, 50.
The missionary has found himself over
burdened by a wide special field for mis
sionary labor, by the regtllar services of the
church, and by an amount of parochial mis
sionary labor equal to that of many settled
parishes. There is a pressing demand for
additional laborers in this field. We have,
however, done what we could. It is the mis
sionary's opinion that the work would be
greatly assisted by the erection of an addi
tional building adjacent to the church, for
missionary, Sunday school and parish pur
poses. Our Sunnay school is at present
held, under great disadvantages, in a wing
of the church. Bat if means were given to
erect the proposed building, with a large
room fur the Sunday school, smaller rooms
for public classes, parish school, office for
the missionary, and meetings of an infor
mal character, we could aocomplish a great
deal more than with onr present limited
facilities.
The general condition of the mission is
encouraging. The attendance during the last
year has been greater than that of the pre
ceding year. The report closes by saying
that they are ready to go on to the future,
trusting that the Lord of Mercy will give
His continued blessing.
After the report had been read, the Rev.
Geo. Leeds, D. D.,delivered an eloquent and
impressive sermon. A collection was then
taken up,and the audience dismissed with
the benediction.
Crry MORTALITY.—The number of biter
ments in the city during the pasi week, was
272, against 25S the _same period last year
Of the whole number 136 were adults and
136 were children-78 being under one year
of age; 144 were males and 128 females; 71
boys and 65 girls. The greatest number of
deaths occurred in the Twentieth Ward,
being 24, and the smallest number in t`- - e
Sixth Ward, where four were reported
The principal causes of death were—cholera,
19: consumption, 33; convulsions, 11; di
arrhoea, 6; disease of the heart, S; debility,
14; scarlet fever, 8; inflammation of the
brain, 7, and old age 3.
PIPES.—A good pipe is a luxury to many
gentlemen, and when one is traveling
nothing is so pleasant as the enjoyment of
a quiet smoke from a first-class meer
schaum. Messrs. R. G. A. Wright, No
624 Chestnut street, always have on hand a
fine assortment of meerschaum and briar
pipes at very cheap rates. The stock is ex
tensive, and is constantly being renewed,
sothat pipes and cigar tubes, in various
forms, suitable to the desire of anybody.can
always be had.
IDEFftATIDING THE REVENUE.—Martin
Solomon and L. W. Rollaway were before
U. S. Commissioner Sergeant on Saturday,
