him if he wished me to understand that he
would not keep my horses if it was so, to be
manly and tell me, and would remove them.

his fodder and was not willing to keep them
This of course was a stumper of commentary
on his last evenings professions. l took the
team to the tavern, but next morning it was
taken away by one of the friends to his stable
The landlord would take nothing, and a dozen

one of the greatest sticklcrs for Orthodoxy in

feeling free to pray IN public. Several of the
friends subscribed for The Bugle, and few dol

the meetings. At the close of my lectures l
was invited and urged, if possible, to preach a
sermon the next Sunday evening. l consent

The subject was brought before the church in
the morning. Mr. Byrd and Reed opposed it

sorry to be thus summoned from the Lectur-
