MIXED WORSHIP.
Mixed worship has secured a na.to- - triumph in the East End (says 21 V\'l'i'iCl" in the London Evening News). For over fifty years the Church of St. Petei-’s. at the »London' Docks, insisted on the division of the sexes, women on one side of the aisle, men on the other. On rare occasions, when soniething -ambitious in ‘the iimsieal line was produced, the voices of the boy trebles in the choir were reinforced by female sopnzmos, but the women were hidden behind a curtain in a side chapel close to the saerzu‘ium. A week ago it was solemnly decided by the vicar and his wardens that in future “members of the c.ongreg'ation may sit on either side of the church.” As a consequence the attendances am expected to improve.
