haps em accounted for by the tact that Mr.
obis the officiating natter, did not, like Mr. Low-

and we not manly unexceptionable but ready an admirable

he face towards the mat while pronouncing the customary
words, " And now tie God the Father," /co., and this move-
ment on his part elicited the first decided manifestation of
general displeases. The congregation then dispersed in an

At a gqnarter to three the Litany service cormanoed, Mr.

The pre-occupants were, it is believed, admitted privately
into the church before it was aoceselble to the parochial
public, and but for this precaution the chorine% would cer-
tainly have been forestalled. The whole service was one
which any stranger, having in his mind • particle of
reverence, could not but be deeply pained at witnessing. It was
a mad end diegueting contest in the utterance of prayers

John, "And he brought elm to Jews" The rev. preacher
held up the character of Jesus se an example under ell

He wrought righteousness in all things, and bow He,
beteg one with God, gave himself up ea the saviour
of the world. He then spoke of the Woe and neow
oily of individual effort, end urged that mob converted
person who performed truly a duty as • follower of Christ
would use ha tofiuence to convert he relations and his
hinds, and as throe again, as they became converted, would
exert themselves to bring others to the same blessed state, it
was by no moans impossible that one man's instrumentality

bringing tans of thousands to Christ. And presenting the
converse of the picture, he suggested the possibility of on

himself at lint in hell with tans of thousands of raised souls
brought there through him.
The crowd at the evening service was excessive.
