Wuiiing for GarriSon-His .lrriral-PrOba-
Die Course in England.

LIVERPOOL, August I'd, 1916.
DEAR FRIEND; Here we are in Browns
Temperance Hotel-in a little upper room
Garrison, II. ID. and James II. Webb, and
myseli-ln a pretty plight. Such a scene
Garrison has opened his budget-his trunks
his pamphlets, books, papers. mouth and
heart, and he Is now pouring out upon us a
torrent of GarriSOniSm for | am not willing
TO allow him to speak for any but for himself.
He and the Webbs are at this moment in
from a meeting; and the man despising re-
ligion of Christendom, is receiving a share of
their attention. Our little room looks very
much like Garrison's editorial chair, desks
and room-pamphlets, papers, books, maps,
ink, pen and paper-scittered all around
r. ID. Webb is writing at my side. The
heat is extraordinary for this country-much
resembling New York or Philadelphia.
| came from Glasgow, Monday last, July
9th, leaving the Smeals, Mnrrays, Pdtons,
and Reds, there, all well and most anxious
to get Garrison among them. Arrived in
Liverpool on Tuesday, TO await the arrival of
Garrison on Wednesday morning. r. ID. w.
arrived from Dublin for the same purpose
We waited on the Georges pier-head, amid
the dust and turmoil of multitudes, embark
ing and disembatking from steamers, and I'M

sun ever can be in this kingdom. There we
sat on iron posts, on stone blocks, On old bar

the thick fog, to see down the Mersey---if the
Britannia were coming, and every now and
then bothering the policemen and dockmen
about her probable arrival. But the Doth,
Wednesday, passed away and no Britannia.

Britannia. We began to feel ANXIOUS
Again, on Friday morning, 3Ist, we took our
stand and watched. About 3 o'clock, p. NJ.
the Britannia passed up the river by the town
to Coburg dock--her accustomed station---a
mile above where we were. We expected
the passengers would be landed in a lighter
--but none did. We went up 10 the dock in
a great heat and haste, and about 4 O'Clock
the steamer was hauled into the dock. We
had recognized Garrison on board, and as
soon as she touched the pier, fastened on
board to welcome him--thankiul that our anX.
iety was at an end. / cannot express to YOU,
my satisfaction at meeting our dear, single,
hearted, wOrld-loving, sternly upright CARR

But John Bull was very good natured for al
that, and, if Garrison has not the grace 10 &C

and shall keep him here to the last possibl
