seemed to take notice of IT, Aud he at
length notified brother P that such thing
must, he felt assured, be needless; but p
SAID at that hour his family needed his SER
vices at home, and he must do IL; never
theless on leaving church be always took a
roundabout course, which by some mystic
rious means always brought hun IN proxim-
