politely rendered him their building as the
place for the performance of his official du-
ties, In which he preached several times to as
large audiences rs were ever collected i'm that
town, his manners exciting general attention,
and most of his doctrines, while enforcing
the cardinal principles of the gospel, meeting
with general appreciation. The greater part
of his hearers were not members of the Ro-
man Catholic Church.

daring to touch him, and the fragments of his

regarded as an evil but little less than death
