platforms temperance is the 'me ismi which 411
speakers should he most guarded, as there are so many
ready and waiting to take up smythinif like dim-
crepancy in point or matter of fact. We should cer-

inclined to say his visit to this meeting would prove
fruitless. After Hymn :Di. the rev. gentleman again

the Vicar, the singing of hymn M. and prayer. Thu
attendance was very limited; we suppose it WWI
owing to live other interesting meetings being held
