CITY MISSION AND TRACT SOCIETY.

ANNUAL PUBLIC MEETING HELD IN DR. JOHN HALL'S CHURCH.

The annual public meeting of the New-York City Mission and Tract Society was held last night in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, at Fifty-fifth Street, of which the Rev. Dr. John Hall is pastor. President Morris K. Jesup presided, and on the platform were the Vice President, the Rev. Dr. A. F. Schauffler, and some of the male and female workers of the society. The various phases of the work of the society were described and illustrated, and an earnest appeal was made for funds.

The Rev. C. H. Tyndall explained the work at the Broome Street Tabernacle, at Broome Street and Centre Market Place, which is the only English church for 60,000 people. The Rev. W. T. Elsing told how souls were being saved at the De Witt Memorial Church, in Rivington Street, where there are English, German, Chinese, and Jewish services each week, and the Rev. T. Leonhard and H. Warszawiak spoke of their labors respectively among the Germans and Jews. Warszawiak was separated from his wife and children for six years because of his renunciation of the Jewish faith, but they were reconciled to him a month ago. The work at the new Olivet Church was spoken of by the Rev. A. H. McKinney.

Mrs. L. S. Bainbridge spoke of the labors of the women missionaries, trained nurses, and Sunday-school teachers, and those at the day nurseries, and baby folds. Dr. Hall warmly commended the society and its work.
