There is seldom witnessed more impreesive ceremonies than those which took place. yes« serday morning at the dedication ot Ryland Chapel, corner of 18th and B streets, Leland. ‘The day was fime, and some time before the hour for services. strived the houee was crowdea with persons anxious to hear the elo- quent sermon of Rey. Bishop Janes. Among chose present were Presiden! Jobnson, Secre- tary Seward, Mayor Wallach, and several ether distinguished persons, who remained throughout the proceedings, and were atten. listeners to ali that wassaid. In the pul- were Bishop Jaues, the bead of the Balti. more Conterence: Kev. J. Nicholas Brow: Morgan , Presiding Elder of the Potomac Dis- ict; Rev. Henry Slicer. of the East Baltimore Conference; and Rev. Mr. Hamilton, pastor of the Chapel Services were opened with the hymn begin- ning, * The Lord ts my king,” which was ung by the choir, aided by a number of voluuteers trom the cho‘rs of other churches in the city. The Rev. Mr. Hamilton then read the one hunéred and seventh Psalm, a portion of Scrip- ture pecuharly applicable to (he occasicn. ion, the Presiding Eider, Rev. Mr. Brown, gaye out. the popalst hymn— Before Jehovah's awtul threne, Ye uations bow with sacted joy,” &¢ — Which was sung standing, the congregation Joining im, and thereby adding greatly co the effectiveness and beanty of the piece. An 3) propriate prayer was then offered up by tne Rev. Mr. wn. WhO petitioned the Redeemer to shower down His blessings upon the whole universe, but more especially to look after the little flock who had that day re- opened their edifice and commenced their labors afresh under auspices of am encouraging and comforting character. At the cenclusion of the prayer, Rev. Mr Slicer read from the 2d chapter of ‘ihe Ephe- slans, from the 10th to the 22d verse. «Teach me Thy way, O Lord,” was then sung by the choir; after ‘which Bishop Janes arose and read from tbe sth chapter of the book of isaiah, as a basis ef the sermon which he was about to deliver. The distinguished divine preached about one hour, euring which he expatiated om the happy influences of the Christian religion, and the comforting assurances to be derived from the stuay of, And’adherence to, the precepts of the Bible, At the conclusion of his eloquent address, the subject of Sunday schools and their beneficial influences upon the minds of the young WAS adverted to. The trnest ini of religion and moral culture were't! to be certved,and every raid comsider it a paramount duty to enter thelr children at those nistitmtions of moral and divine instruction. ‘The usual dedicatory exhortation and prayer wae then read from the Church Discipline, in “hich the congtegation joined with zeal and aevotion Kev. Mr. Slicer tollowed Bishop Janes in review of the history of Methodism in tnis country, and its wonderful rise and progress since the days of the Revolution. Some miter- esilog Temimisceuces in connection with the life of Rey. Francis Asbury, of England, were reproduced. In whick it was shown that Mr. Asbury crossed the Atlanticin 1771, and la- bored without interruption, under the most adverse circumstances, till, from physical in- tirmity and old age, his lite ebbed out, and he died ‘ipon the soil of the Old Dominion. Dur- ing the war of the Revolution ali the Mezho- dist preachers went back to England bat As- bury, who staid and worked faithfully for the cause to which he had dedicated ‘his lite. ‘Texas, Mr.S enid, was annexed to Methodism jong before she was annexed to the Union. And, 10 the opinion of the-epeaker, Methodism did@ great deal towards annexing that State to ihe Union. Francis Asbury was the founder and great bulwark of Methodism in tnis conn- try.and any man who would undertake to write a history of the Church and leave out bis, name, bad as well play Hamlet and leave out that character from the play. The speaker then spoke of the land Chapel, and eulogised g00d men wh. ted th the chapel was built. Mr. Ryland was a fa- vorite preacher of Gen. Jackson, who tfre- quently attended his church while he was in public lite in this city. The chapel had had a suecession of experiences. During tne wat it had been resed and fallen into such condition as to render worship therein impracticable, and for the past two years the congregation bad held their meetings in the basement. Soon after the Close of hostilities steps were taken to re- build the old editice, but the werk has pro- gressed slowly because of the heavy expense which must be incurred in doing so, and the tardiness with which subscriptions came in. Although now the improvements had been completed and the edifice was ready for use. yetit must be understood that the work was Rot yet fini-~hed; for there was a debt of $2,500 hanging over it, which the trustees had become responerble for the payment of. and thatamount ube raised. The rebuilding of the chapel 13,000, on which $10,000 had already been ‘paid. 1t had been pro; as & means of can- celling this debt, t ten persons in the con- gregation give $100 each, ten give $50 each. others $40, $20, and 50 on, till the subscription be made up. This proposition was then pat when there were two responses to the 350, four to the 340, ten to the $20, and 8 large number cou'ributed in smaller sums, from §I¢ te SI. One bundrea and thirty-three dollars were raised in the gallery. ‘The doxology was then sung, benediction need, and the congregation dismissed. The singing of the choir on yesterday was conducted by Mr. J.B Dawson,and Miss Liz. zie S. Pope presided at the mejedeon. The original church was duilt in i943. The ground was donated by tdward Lacey, Esq.. and Key. William Ryland, after whom tne church was named. In ISé1, the old editice was taken by the Government as a hospital. After its vacation in 162, It was torn down, and the present structure was reared at a cost “f $13,000, Both outside aad in, the chape? it js faultlessly neat and substantial in appear- ance. The main worshipping hail is trescoed of solid grey coler, with a faint-colered circle on the ceiling. The pulpit is built of waldut, Aud the mimisier’s stand of beautiful poli marble. Flights project from each » which afford sufficient light to enable the congregation to dispense with the expense which wonld buve been necessary to incur if a chandelier had been procured. In front of the pulpitis tne only gallery which the chapel has, and this is principally intend- ed for the use of the choir. Altogether the chpel is a model of neatness and adaptation to ihe service for which it 1s intendgd to be used. The pastor of tbie cbarch isthe reverend Rev. Wm. Hamilton, D. DV, the oldest active Minister of the church in the Baltimore Con- ference. He is now in the third year ot his service at this church, baving been appointed by the Conference in March, 1865. ‘fo him and the membership, assisted by friends, be- jong the credit of rearing this beautiful struc- ture, which has just been dedicated Lo the ser. vice of the Most High, Services were held in the afternoon, when the exercises were begun by prayer from the Rev. Dr. Hamilton, who, after the congreg: origin of Ry- the memory of the roand upon which ished; it had been ‘a great bur- den to his mind fora long time. But there re- mained yet another burden. The Church was to be paid for, and when that shall have been done, he would be relieved of another anxiety. Prayers would not build a Church, neither would they furnish the Money to for it; if they would, the Church would have been. built and paid for long ago. xhorted the Hi congregation to contribute liberally towards the payment of the Church debt. Bishop Janes Was intreduced, and congratulated the copgregation upon the accession of their new Church and its completion. He was assured that those who bad been engaged in the work of nelping along the, work of completing the burch felt tully compensated. If only one soul stould be brought to see the light of God, they would feel compensdted, but he felt as- sured that hundreds, yer, thousands, would be brought to know God from the gospel preached in thié Church. “The Rev. Henry Slicer then delivered au address, after which 8 collection was taken up, and a considerabi: sum realized. At o'clock in the eveniug, an eloquent and ‘effective sermon was preached by the Rey. Mr. Slicer. The collection in the morning amounted to $40, while the total collection for the day amounted to between $1,500 and $1,600. poche atatt 2% Wasuincron Zovaves.—A special meet- sug ot the Washington Zouaves was held on Saarday evening at Wili’s Hall, on 7th street Capt.

Dr. Balch, its founder, was born on Dear Creek, | near Baltumore, in 1774, graduated at Prince: ton, 1774, and died in 1833, being then 26 years old. His ancesters were from Wales; aud his brother the Rey. Hezekiah J. Balch, of North Caroling, was the first signer of the celebrated Mecklenburg declaration of independence, in May, 1775, and built one of the earliest brick churches in the settlement. Rev. T. B. Baich, | son of Dr. Balch, is still living in Virginia. Dr. Baich was a man of rare attainments, and great force of character. He taught a class- | ical academy here many years, and half a | century ago was an advocute of the acquisi- | tuon of Cuba by this Government. One ot his contemporaries was the Rev. Walter Ad- dison, of whom Dr. Balch used to tell the story that he gave agreat sheep shearing at Oxon Hillin June, one year, and cold weather coming on, he tempered the ‘wind to the shorn lambs by purchasing a large quantity of red | flannel and making toats for bis shivering | flock. The sheep were somewhat astonished | at their change of color; as they looked at each | other out of the eye holes ieft in their nevel | bead dress, as they might well be. for such a rubicund flock was never seen before.
