E. church, will be held at 11 o'clock m., iustead of at 3 p. m., as has been the custom for many years. The change has some advautages and somo disadvantages. It will lurgely prevent children from ntteuding morning service, as a continuous service, from 10J o'clock a m to 1} o'clock p. m., is too U-dious and trying for the little ones. Thei again, many families are accustomrd to U% o'clock as their dinner hour, and when these hungrj ÜWle fellows wait until 2 o'clock p. m., It is quite trying to their stomachs. But all of the protestan churches of the city have now declded upon 12 o'clock as the Sunday school hour" go It must be the most convenient for tht majority.
