portion Of Scripture.
Mr.. Gribble afterwards addressed the meeting.
Mr. e. limited his observations to some accounts Of
the zeal displayed by the Roman Catholic Church
IN increasing the number of its adherents, and to a
statistical account Of the numbers Of Roman Cath

As we took no notes, we will not venture 10 give
the numbers of Roman Catholics in this and all
other parts Of the world, stated by him, in case
we mistake His remarks were good, and showed
some research In delivering his discourse, how
ever, he forgot that the Church on lafayette Square
Is large and that it was necessary TO raise his voice
Well To be easily heard.
The Rev. Mr. Beade concluded with very ap
proprlate address, and that part Of it which referred

missionary at Bengal, and Professor Of Oriental

Sunday evening than by listening to such infoI-
nation as the Society of Missions gives regarding
mans progress in distant parts Of the earth.
