A GOOD WORK.

By Edwin S. Gray

SECULAR concerts and their concomitants were displaced in all the great parks of the Pittsburg region, Sunday, June 30.

Rev. S. Edward Young, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg, enlisted seven leading pastors of the Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Baptist, Dutch Reformed, and United Presbyterian

denominations to preach at the various meetings, and it was estimated that forty thousand people, mostly non-church-goers, heard the Gospel. The plan is to be carried out more minutely in September.

At the Schenley Park Pavilion, Pastor Young preaches every Sabbath evening, and the congregations average, according to the local press, about ten thousand.

The Schenley Park services are believed to be the most largely-attended Sabbath services in the world. The excellent order and attentiveness are marked features. EDWIN S. GRAY.

[This is a far better way to solve the Sunday-observance question than civil law, and it is the Gospel way, if the Gospel is preached. Civil law to enforce Christian institutions is anti-Christian.—ED. S. of T.]
