By special reqrt of the Young Dr. e rois
Christian Asacieltelletri-ReV:i ton EO., wards,
President of the Washington an?, Jefferson
College, delivered , in Christ E. Church,
Penn Street, last .-eveninp_,', an address on
the ,"Work or Young Men's Chriatiau As-,
staatibils:" Owing to, the unforopitidus
weather and the inopportune time, the au
dience was not so large as could have peen
wished foi• such enable and eloquent discus
sion of the theme.. ' • '
The prelinainary,religious exercises hav
ing been conducted by Rev. Dr. Morgan,
pastor of the church, the sneaker was . in
troduced by Kirke Porter. Esq., President
of the Association. Dr. , Edwards began
by an expression!, of, the deep svmpathy
with which he had been .drawn towards
such Associations, and in which he';',iis a
pastcir had encotiraged 'their orgiLaization
and' the enlisting of young, Men , their
work, and in keeping with. such an. interest
hid ever Watched their pi inciplesan,d vrorks
with the closest scratiny..ll4 thought that
'in general it was. fnexpedietitto treat'ineit
in separate classes, , and to adopt special
methods for the -aged And the - young, the
mechanic and the ,scholer, or-.lnany wig to
add - to the separation by pew s and other
necessary and unavoidable distinctions in
the - Qhurch. -Putithen,:in theasigencies of.
.thetirnesAniiihnfresent condition of the
COUVary,sineethe diabandingof our armies,
such Associations were imperative and ne
cessary fortthe reaching and influencing - of
young men for good.. HO proceeded in
ttrree.divisions toeindicate what be thought
was inoltided in the title.of “Young Men's
Christian Association."
Fir:lt—lt was an Association of, young
men drawn together by common experi
ences of danger and deliverance for the joy
and strength ., braiccimincin symptdily.
Second—An Association organized on`
Christian principles for the rescue of young
manhood. This might include as 'adjuncts
recreitions, lectures And ethermeatia fot
the development of muscle, mindlind socil
ality of life. Religion should, however.
afford the great test of the propriety and
good of all amusements. Games of chance
and games of skill, linked with evil associ
ations, should be forbidden, unless the lat
ter can be lifted from their, degradation to
usefulness and innocence. The, Ctiurch"
cannot provide these directly, but as it pro
ceeds on its regular work, 'perpetuatibg the
ordinances of God for the salvation of men,
it stay well carry in its radiant sweep all
such good works.
Third—The speaker looked upon the As
sociation as organized for Christian work.
Under this head were grouped the differ
ent methods in which the Pittsburgh Asso
ciation: have heen most .eflielent; and lahorl.
ous, such as open air meetingq, cottage
prayer meetings, religious services in the
theaters; and every'" other irej- of pro
claiming the Gospel to those who have it
not, or are-not willing to -seek _its official
message. Be cautioned the members front
ever being puffed up with spiritual pride
in ttie. 4 spiritual success ,of •the wink,' and
from ever thinking the Association superior
to or independent of the Church. It was
at once its child'and servant: - The Church
was all inclusive and the end of all chris-
tian labors. He thought that sect was not
schism, and that . he divisions of the Church
into denominations not an evil, but an aid
in the general- extension of Christ's cause,
analogous in their relation and discipline
to tlaomilitruy, organization „of - au
army', and under the `great 'Captain Of out.

The evehillit-1 3 t ttiltatet Of.Mettfribtl‘ Ie
generally observed, &&,,rerhaps most of our
readers know, anamilifbe Ifethodifft
nominations as a celebration peculiar to
. n
theindrilaniiation, and , which ;they- style
"Watch Meeting.'; , eyenings number
of the Methodist Churches In this vicinity
held ; thene. pervices according to the 2 nsuM.,
custom, all of which we Understand were
largely-attebded and' Seemed to be of more
than ordinary interest. t• .
The origin of the celebration dates far
back to the times of the' great founder of
Methodism, in 1742, when the first "Watchi
.Meeting"-was held in London, under the
supervision of John Wesley. Mr. 'Wesley
'it seems hear&that a small company of his
flock at Kingswood were in the habit of
meeting once a month and spending froth
nine •o'clock in the evening until after
twelve, in singing, prayer and watching.
Struck with the idea' he ; attended one of
the meetings and was so impressed with
the beauty and • apOopriateness of the
exercises, that "Watch Meetings" were
instituted by him throughout his denomi
nation, and soon became among the most
popudat and instructive observanc,es of the
church. At first they,were held monthly,
but gradually the last evening in the year
.became set aside and marked as the
most' appropriate occasion for this oti-'
servance. In England this' celebra
tion. is engaged in I with much ardor
and enthusiasm, and forms lone of the
geeidesreventaln the calendar of religioriS
holidays. - Tor- • weelni lecire , extensive
preparations are made. programme of
exercises is prepared, 'the- Most' popular
preachers secured, and in some cases the
chapels are beautifully illuminated and
trimmed with evergreens, boxwood and
flowers, and at the appointed time old and
young, all ages, sexes and classes, gather
in their respective chapels and engage with
a hearty zest in all the exercises of the cele
bration. Anfong a great portion of the
membership some of the earliest and most
pleasant recollections of a religious life are
associated with remembrances of a "Watch
Meeting." -
In
America, wherever it is observed, sev
eral congregations generally gather In one
church, and the exercises are under the
supervision of the ministers from the dif
ferent bodies thus represented. The first of
the programmeconsists of a sermon, appro..
r priate to the occasion, from the most popu
lar and best minister-who may at the time
•be available. This is followed-try a prayer
meeting or general class meeting, in which
persons so desiring may briefly relate their
individual religious experiences of the
closing year. The sacrament of the Lord's
upper is then adthinistered, in accordance
with the usual custom of all religious de:
nominations: About three or five minutes
before twelve o'clock. the entire congrega2,
tion kneel and engage in silent prayer, thus
solemnly and impressively spending the
time between the outgoing of the old and
the incoming of the new vear in adoration
and supplication before Him who holds the
temporal and eternal,deatinies of all lives
in the hollow of His hand.

The New Year.
To-day we enter upon a new year; the
-year 1868 has passed and is now among the
things that were, and with it has diaappear
ed many things which have' gone to return
,
•no more 'ores cr. Numberless _lives have
,been sacrificed and millions of property
destroyed, yet the plaCes of those who, dur
ing the year 1868 ,passed from time into
eternity, are filled by others, and untold
millions of property has been accumulated
in place of that destrove4, and the Trunk
Factory of Joseph Liebler„ at No. 104 Wood
street, where the best quality . of trunks and
valises of every style and description are
manufactured, continues to do a thriving
business. r. Every person- should have one

New Year's
Although to-day is usually admitted to
be a:holiday,yet it is:not as generally observ
ed as Christmas and otir National Anniver
sans, consequently there will be a number

ofplaces 9f business open during the'day,
and many persons will want toetake dinner
in town. In view of this fact, Mr. Holtz.

in the most approved style and in a manner
to rued the taste of the greateit epicures.
Sewing Machines.
The rivalry between sewing machine
•
companies has worked incalculable good to
the people of this generation, and it will be
felt and appreciated for several generations
to come. Its effects have been,the different
machines brought in actual ; competition
with each other, brought to high state of
perfection, and the prices reduced until a
sewing machine is within •the reach of
every family., Among the sewing ma
chines non. offered to the public, we know
of no better one than the "Singer."' 'lt is
