CHURCHES, PASTOR AND PEOPLE
The evening services at the Congregational and Baptist churches to-morrow will be at seven o'clock.
The city ministers have decided on union Thanksgiving services at Asbury church, and selected Rev. C. R. Henderson to deliver the sermon.
At St. Stephen's, to-morrow, Sunday school at 9:15 a. m. litany, 10:15 s. m. Morning Prayer, Sermon, and Celebration of the Holy Communion, 11 a. ru Evening Prayer, 4:30 p.
On acconmt of continued ill health Rev. G. W. Sweeney has resigned the pastorate of the Christain church. His physician says be shonld rest a year, and will spend the winter in Florida. An other pastor will be called immediately. We don't know the feeling in the church butwedoknow that a great many of our people would be pleased to hear of Rev. G. P. Peale's return to that pulpit.
At a meeting of the Ministerial Association, last Monday evening, the following changes and programme were considered 1. That we will endeavor to have uniformity in the time of holding Sabbath services. 2. That the preaching services shall begin at 10:30 a. m., instead of 11 a. m. 3. That the Sabbath schools be changed from the morning to the afternoon. 1. By holding the services at half-past ten, it will give more time for rest between the morningT?ervicesand the Sabbath school, it will better meet the din ner hour of most people, it will, on communion Sabbaths, interfere less with the work of the afternoon, and it will start the people out to church before they be gin to lounge. They will feel more vig orous. 2. That the different churches would have their Sabbath schools at the same hour, is very essential. It will prevent the children from running from one school to another. This going from school to school unsettles the minds of the children, uproots all convictions from their hearts, and unfits them for any good purpose in any particular church. 3. By having the Sabbath school in the afternoon, it^will enable some of the older people to atteud. This is very essential. How it is possible for parents to show the importance of the Sabbath school to their children, and stay at home themselves, is something we do not see. 4. There are more temptations in the afternoon, to draw the children to a life of sin. The children would be kept at work in the Sabbath school, instead of being on the streets.
Also, the ministers determined not to publish the subjects of their sermons in the newspapers. Because some of the ministers do not believe it to be right it tends to make the pulpit sensational, it draws people from one church to another by the mere novelty of a subject, it makes men desirous to hear, not the gosel, but some eccentric theme explained. tVe invite into our association ministers of every denomination in the city. We are all one, not only in word, but in heart.

THE SINGER SIDE!
The Facts in the Case!
A FALSE IMPRESSION.
DONT REQUIRE A MEDAL TO GIVE JTT A REPUTATION.
The red ribbon at the State Fair did not mean that the award was given for the best sewing machine on exhibit quite the contnuy, for it was bestowed upon the company whose apartments were made most attractive by its floral decorations, art embellishments, etc., and not because of the excellence of their machines. This was all well enough in its place, bnt it created a false impression in the minds of the visitors, which the managers of that company seen anxious should prevail, judging from their advertisements. Had there been a contest of machines, and the question raised as to which was the best for all classes of work, there could have been no doubt that the White Sewing Machine, represented by R. E. Stephens, No. 17 and 19 Massachusetts avenue, would have received the first premium. Mr. Stephens would scorn to accept an award upon anything else than the merit of the machine. He has made an annual display of the White for a number of years, and it was not necessary to offer a medal to bring him out this year.—Hoosier Eclipse of Indiananpolis.
The above explains the wonderful award that the Singer folks have been blowing about the Singeris battling for life. It is a hard death but it has to go I see in the New York Herald the Singer Company has its factory at Elizabeth, New Jersey, advertised for sale, and I suppose the Singer will soon cease to sing. The White was in its infancy three years ago, and was not recognized as a competitor by some agents of other machines, but now how is it? The White has gradually gained faver, and reputation until it" is now the leader in fact tho King of Sewing Machines all this it has done upon its merits call at 304 Maiu street and see for yourselves. I will receive a car lead next week can't supply the demand even with ten car loads trade is immense.
J. N. HICKMAN.
The above appeared in the Gazette of Oct. 31st. The following letter explains Itself:
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Nov. 4th, 1881. J. A. MARSHALL, Terre Haute, Ind.
DBAR SIR:—The printed slip sent by you headed "A False Impression," and signed by J. N. Hickman, wheever he may be, woyld say as regards his quota tion from N. Y. Herald, that either Mr, Hickman reads his papers about six months old, or else he wishes willfully to create a fals« impression. This far is true. The Singer Manufacturing Co. did offer the Elizabethport factory for sale, but not from tho fact that a funeral was in prospective nor that tboy were in arrears, but from tho fact that the bankrupt city of Elizabeth wished to raise their revenues out of this Company, raising the assessment on the factory to about double the amount of previous years, for this reason, the Com pany had concluded to change location and no other. You will allow mo to remark that, in all probability, no other Sewing Machine Company would have bought the factory, as tho ground the foundry alone occupies would contain room enough to manufacture all of those so-called Kings of Bewing machine. We leave it to your imagination bow thin such a concern would lie after it had spread itself over the balance of the buildings needed to manufacture nearly six hundred thousand machines a year. We would state for vour information, that the Singer Manufacturing Company has bought, this year, within the cororate limits of Cairo, twenty acres of
and, having a large front of 240 feet, at a cost of $4y)00, on which the have commenced buildings to manufacture wood work needed for our machines, havinj a capacity that will employ onethousan workmen, besides having shops already at South Bend, at which nearly seven hundred men are employed on woodwork alone. The demand for machines, this year, has been such that we havo under contract the cabinet factory formerly owned by the Howe Company, at Peru, running at its fullest capacity, as also the cabinet factory at this point, formerly owned by tho Wheeler A Wilson Company, they also running to their fullest capacity, employing at these places about 400 men.
Mr. H. ought to write the officers of the Sluger Manufacturing Company, and let them know that tlicy are about to fail, for they must be very shortsighted to be paying out large sums of money for real estate that they will not ueed, as also to have cabinet work made UP, and pay the money for such, when Air. H. has decreed that they, as a Comiy, would have to die. Enclosed we send you a slip from the "Sewing Machine Advance," of Oct. 15tb, 1881, a copy which was sent, by the owner of 1 paper, to all prominent sewing machineagents said article fully explains the situation of affairs at Elizabetnport, as relates to our company. Now, as in starting—and you will excuse the repetition that Mr. H. is either very ignorant in a matter that he claims to be posted in, or else willfully tries to create a irrong impression as to the matter of premiums at the State Fair—arvv of the com petitory present at that time may circulate their owu version of the result, and we are satisfied to take the verdict of the dear people who were there, looked, and were pleased, as also the verdict ef thousands upon thousands of our patrons who bless the day they bought a Singer Sewing Machine.
We are aware that the boys feel bad, or else they wouldjmake no noise. The only thing we can say to them is, we are sorrv for them, ana no doubt thev are daily learning that "it is hard to 'kick against the pricks."
Respectfully Yours, JACOB Fox Agent Singer MTgCo. From the Sewing Machine Gazette. The Singer Manufacturing Company has decided not to remove their manufactory from Elizabeth, New Jersey. The difficulties existing between that company and the town authorities of Elizabeth have been amig&ly adjusted.
from The Sewing Machine Advance. THE SINGER MANUFACTURING COS. REMOVAL.
The threatened removal of the Singer Manufacturing Company's works from Elizabeth, N. J. will not take place, so we are informed fay a gentksnfen recently from that city. The excessive aaseuwmentof the company's property in Elizabeth. by the board of assessors of that bankrupt place, which was the moving cause of the contemplated removal, is suppoeed to have been rectified, and the ccums 6efi» having thus bean removed, aflair* have resumed their former peaceful aspect.
The Singer boys will therefore continue to lie soothed of nights by the deep baas notes of Elizabethport mill-froga,
SATUEt)A J^TL
that is to say, such of them as are not quickly hammed to sleep by the quaint-ly-wierd anthems (we had almost written anathemas, but they oome from the other side) of Elizabethport's mammoth moequitoee. Singers all, it is meet (afid blood too) that they be not separated but left to abide together in a happy brotherhood.
