A Hymn Answered. "Living on a street where there are two churches need not make a man ' sad," observed a Yonkers commuter to . a Manhattan friend. “I live in Morris street between and within a dozen rods of the Central Methodist church and St. Andrew’s Memorial church. , One evening last summer I was sitting , ion the porch with my family. It was prayer meeting night, and there began to float out of the open windows Of Central church the song ‘Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?’ The worshippers were singing it right heartily. All at ohce there came a bong from St. Andrew’s church. ‘Nd, Not One; No, Not One,’ ran its. chorus. If the irusicians had timed those pieces they could not have bettered the effect, as this combination continued to ring cut: ‘Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?’ ‘No; Not One; No, Not One.* : They were fine hymns, but their solemnity was lost on my family and me forever.” * - j r ■' ■ I '— ■ ■ "■ ■ ■'/ ■'•"Msi Negative Announcement.
