Volsci( to refute the charge. The mere " imputation a

reverend pleacher as wisely resolved to profit by the cir-
cutustam e. To plan and publish some sermons, in the
usual way, offeted extrantdirtarvcha Tice of gain. Judg-
ing that preaching might yield something, as well as writing,
that the art of delivering migl:t by some possibility be ren-
dered as pi eductive as the art of publishing, we find the
Doctor most judiciously contriving a series of Scripture Lec-
tures, and preaching them, anterior to their appearance, at
ten shillings and sixpence the course, in Silver-street Cha-
pel, on Wednestloy evenings. " I think.' one correspondehnt
sas, " the worthy proprietor, (Rev. E. J. Jones) of tc
above chapel is a wise man. Times are hard. family expenses
heavy ; and, therefore, for my part, 1 do not see why a mi-
ulster should not let out his chapel to different preachers.
wh-le it strikes me, as there is so much squabbling at the
