being introduced to you in your festive asse mby as

last night of my stay is spent this evening is
about to pass lApplause.) Since then, as the
Chairman has well remarked, it has been my duty
to preach, al least, attempt to preach in diff
ferent places and it is quite true that might have
travelled through all the countries of the globe from
the rising to the setting of the sun, and wherever
the language which it is mine to speak is under

(Applause.) For every one-every preacher is
somewhat distinct and different in his manner from
another; and it seems if the faith would take
the color of the speaker, the medium through which
il is passed to the audience-but then you behold
phenomenon in that beautiful art which

old window Of stained glass We see every little
piece gives color to that light which is cooress out

variety and combination yet, after all, the audience
inside find it so blended that the colors display the

and perhaps it would not be becoming in me, to
follow out any contrast in regard to this; but
