THE REVIVAL MBETINGS CONTINUED. At yesterday's meeting at the Calvary Be ptist cbureh, after our report closed, Rev. lor.

The mem! of different congregations came making in- quiries, and he the peg orgy ministers to come in and take care of Yesterday & number of the ministers united in a re- quest to Mr. Hammond to preached on the evening of t the sermon @ 38th instant, mond on the “Divinity of Corist.” Mr. Ham, signified bis Willingness to repeat the sermon. THE SEVICES LAST RVENING. The Covgregational church was crowded to overflowing last night and the services were ned with some excellent singing, meat r. Bentley. Several pra: were off Le Mr. Rosiwald, of New Orleans, who, fat the morning meeting gave an account as to his arrival in the city, as to having his attention attracted to the mecti: by THE STar’s report of them, and as to bis liaving received the assurance of the night before, made a stirring appeal to the unconverte. A little child, a about five years, was called to the platform and ted a prayer. Mr. Hammond, after a brief prayer for God's ——— on the service, took for his text, Psalms, 112, vi., “The righteous shall be in everlasting rememberance,” his subject being the ‘Recognition of Friends.” He-al- luded te the erection of monuments to com- memorate the memories of the great, and said,“ Ourown monument, unfinished as it is, in rememberance of him whom we esteem as the Father of his Country.” He concluded With an urgent appeal to the unco.verted, enforeing the necessity of present action. Afier the sermon the praise meeting aud la- quiry services were helt. a large number of clergymen and others aiding the work. Mr. Hammond spent & portion of his time in the pis nag room,” where many had gathered to- gether. TO-DAY’S MEETING. ‘There was a very large attendance at Cal- vary Baptist chureh this morning and many children were among the andicace. Mr. Hamrnond had with bim on the stand Rev. Messrs. Gray, Dodge, Beale, Rankin, Nevie and others. The meeting was opened by singing the bymus, “We praise Toee, oh, God,” “1 feel ike singing all the time,” and “Save, Jesus, save.” Mr. Bentley sang a t utiful solo entitled “ Jesus loves a little child.” Rey. Mr. Beale, of Georgetown, led im prayer. “Precious name” wassung.’ Mr. Hammond addressed himself principally to lhe children and their duties to their Maker, referring to some interesting incidents in his “Stories for Children,” of answers to prayer. He noticed that some of the children had or- ganized prayer meetings, and yesterday he was told by Mr. Choate, of the Wesley Chapel Sunday school, that 21 children of that schod! had been converted and had been gathered into @ prayer meeting. He hat looked in and found 64 little ones on bended knees praying especially for the conversion of some bad boys. He gave some incidents of the conversion of children; reading feel- ing letters from some little ones, and com- Tmenting on them. He read some portionsof a letier written by @ friend at Albany to Mr. Prince, recently converted, expressing their thanks that he bad been converted, and an- weed the children’s meeting at Dr. No- cburc) (6th and C streets southwest) to-morrow afternoon at3 o'clock, and on the following days at 4 o’cloek, and he suggested that pas be offered for the meetings.

Rev. Mr. Judd made a few remarks, ympathy with the meeting, tence as to working in the evening meetings, and he invoked God’s blessing on the work. Mr. 0. C. Wrighi made some interesting remarks as to the covver- sion of young people. Dr. Presbery remarked that the iniluence of these meetings was spreading, and he related-that last night two young ladies asked him to pray for them, ard they knelt down then and there, and pave their hearts toGod. Dr. Noble followed. “Weall Must Speak for Jesus,” was su and @ praise meeting was held, in wt many spoke. A littie girl thanked God tha her pray ers had been answered and her father rad been saved, and many other children i ise spoke, one saying that she thanked God Lat when her sister struck her she did not strike back. After the “praise meeting,” the children assembled around the aitar aud engaged in singing for some time. The committee of arrangemeats have ar- ranged for the meetings next week as fol- lows:— Bible readings every morning at {1 o'clock at Lincoln Hall, children’s meeting at Dr. Noble's Presbyterian church, (Gth and C streets southwest;) every afternoon at 4 o'clock, and the usual protracted services at the Congregational chureh every evening at 7 o'clock, inquiry meeting to follow.

J. VAUGHAN LEWIS Editor Star:—The communication of Rev. J. V. Lewis in yesterday's STAR demands notice, not from its strength, but because Mr. Lewis’ position as a biblical teacher gives his exposition of the scriptures some weight in this community. Mr. Lewis says:—“I believe there are a great many good and devout people who bave little choice in this matter of couform- ity to the world.” Christianity, with its infallible authority, says, “Be no! conformed fo the world,” and God makes no demand upon the buman will without giving the neeted strength for a response. Whom are we to follow—the fallible churchman or the infal- lible Master? Mr. Lewis believes that these “devout Christians” be refers to “are often forced by their official relations into so tions which prove their rain;” cireums: has said, thee aid” in your “official relations and 80+ cial temptations.” Christians must exer- ise the common sense they haye, and not throw morbid inilvences around themselves will never be wiought for them; in Hea thereof, the “ruin” comes,as Mr. L. asserts, The pastor of St. John’s chureh says:— | “What bave we to put in the place of Wash- ington seciety during the season Put what your master tells you, the fruthas it is in Jesus. Tench practice temperance, purity, which ts never found tn the rovnd dayce per se, or any other. Why will lovers of wine drag in gn every occasion our Lord’s miracle in Cana?

Respeet- Lary. ideat What an kingdom, which He Case UPREME Cov argument in the case ot J. W (appelants,) agt. the First National bank Was concluded. The facts in the ease are as follows:—In 1367 Morsell bought certain real | estate and gave a deed of trust to secure the payment of $10,000 (the balance of the | urehase money.) He was then a member of | n@ Washington Co-operative Building as- sociation, and bought advances from time to time to sey on the purchase money giving, in 1569, to the association adeed of trust to cover these and other advances to the amount of $10,000. During the existence of this trust the bank and Messrs. Skinner & Co. obtained a judgment against Morseli Aftewards Morsell obtained other advances to the amount of $1,500, and on the Ist of March, 1571, he executed a deed of trust to cover that and fature mees to the Amcunt of $10,000. ‘The whole amount due to | the building association was $7,000. In September, 1571, @ bill in equity was filed py the bank, praying that the property be sold, and after paying the deeds of trust to apply the balance to thejudgments. The tcoaace | Was sold under @ decree in equity, ani the net proceeds were not sufficient to pay the building association. The auditor, in his report, gave preference to the claim of the association on the ground that the role of law in the District was that Judgments were not liens upon an equity of redemption, which was all that Morsell had at the time of theirrendition. Tue bank ex- cepted to the report of the auditor, and the case was heard in General Term in Septem- ber, 1873, and the court sustained the excep- tion of the bank, and directed that the judg- ments be paid before the amount due to the building association advanced under the last deeds. The defendants appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, and the main question argued was: Whether a jadg- ment at law constitutes a lien upon an equity of redemption In lands in the Dis- trict. The contrary to the ruling of our Sa- preme Court has always been held to be the Jaw in this District. Mr. Totten argued the case for the bank and Messrs. R. K. Elliot and J. J. Johnson for the appellants. seclenisbinwed THE ENTERTAIN MENT givenat Tallmadge Hall last night by the pupils of Mrs. M. Nevitt's femaie grammar school, ist district, gratified a large company, but not so large as the unusual merit of the exercises should have assembied. The readings were gener- ally good, several notably so. The most ele- g&i\t and instructive piece. consisting of the “Dreams of Childhood, Yoath, Manhood, and Old Age,” was illustrated by appropriate recitations, and the best tableaux that we bave seen at apy publie entertainment in lnis city. The idea of the piece is new, here at least, and the best moral seutiments are inculeated In language beantifal and in- structive. Mrs. Nevitt deserves high credit for the selection of this elegant mode of in- struction and amusement. Among the best readers were Messrs. Shields, Williams, Douglass, and Garrison, while the singing of Misses Williamsand Meany was enthusiast- ically applauded. Miss Mary Chase's char- acter part of “Mrs. Josiah Allen” was un- commonly good. Altogether the first school district may be congratalated on the com- plete success of the entertainment. ————— REAL ESTATE SALES.—Thomas Dowling, auctioneer, has sold for Messrs.
