For the Union
Amongst the many Improvements which have OF


late, been made IN our city, very tasteful one is to
be seen in the Ascension Church, on II street he
tween 9th and 10TH The building is in its exterior
and It's interior appearance the neatest in the
city. There is nothing of osentatIon about it
nothing TO indicate that il erected to please only
| the eye, or to entice the patronage Of those who
seek only magnfcence and display. Its appearance
Is calculated to make, upon the mind of the behold.
er, the impression that it sacredly erected and
intended, as place for the pure, simple and holy
worship, Of the true, living, and eternal God.


The Ascension Church is under the pastoral care
OF the Rev. Mr. GHlis, minister of the Protestant
Episcopal denomination, whose pastoral labors give
every prospect of being eminenty useful and happy
to the congregation under his charge, and the al


endans upon his ministry. The sound theology,
and the practical ddactie lessons which mark his
sermons, together with the Kindness courtesy, and
affection which he manifests in his pastoral inter.
course, are well calculated to gain the affections of
his people, to acquire the respec of his hearers and
TO contribute, IN great degree, to the promotion of
true and vital piety in this community. For the
last few Sabbath afternoons, the Rev. James Young
learned and able divine, late Of Alabama, has Of
hcated at the Ascension Church.


IL is pleasant TO observe that while il il publicy
proclaimed along our avenues, by laborers in the
Temperance cause, that our city is full beyond all
other places, of lIcentiousness and depravityit is
pleasant to observe, IN the face of such humiating
declarations, that there is still pi,tn and psip
enough in the metropolis ofour great Union for the
erection and dedication of new places of religious
worship; that even here--polluted and de6led
as we are--even here, the temple of Almighty God
may lift aoft lis pious dome, and that the worshp
pers of our blessed Saviour are here permitted In
quietude and peace, to unite and send up towards
heaven, with humility and DEVOTION their songs
their praises, and their prayers. B.
