MR. IVES AND THE TABERNACLE.
By F. A. Buzzell
All this machinery was introduced into the tabernacle on Sunday, to lift a subscription of $35,000. The thing was admirably carried out. Mr. Ives was in his glory. His sallies brought peals of laughter from the mouth as well as money from the pocket. He gets well paid for this work. He receives from $250 to $1000 a Sunday, according to the amount raised. In his sphere he is supreme. No minister in the country can hold a candle to him in raising money. He is in constant demand, his popularity among the Methodists having run over into other denominations, where he seems quite at home.—Burleigh, N. Y. Correspondent to Boston Journal.
