When the President entered church the next Sun-day he found lumber piled in front of it in preparationfor the alterations. The pastor, Dr. Gurley, announcedthat, in obedience to the governments orders, the use ofthe property for divine services would be temporarily sus-pended. Dr. William T. Ellis, in the Presbyterian Ad-vance, tells what happened: This is in harmony with Lincolns message to the Gen-eral Conference of 1864—Blessed be God, who in this,our great hour of trial, giveth us the churches.—N.

As soon as Doctor Gurley had finished, uprose the lank figure of Lincoln, interrupting the service,to declare, in substance, with force and much feeling: I knew nothing about such an order. As command-er-in-chief of the army, I countermand it here and cannot get along without the churches.
