How 10 hear the Gospel.

Rowland Hill paid visit to an old
fiiend few years before his death, VIII"
sailiio him, mir. Hill, it is just thirty
flee years since ] first heard you preach.
and lremember your text and part of
your sermon. You told us that some
people were very sqeamish about The
delivery Of different ministers who
preached the same gospel. You said,
"Suppose yon were attending TO hear
willsresd, where you expected a leg
scy left you, would you employ the
time 10 scrutinizing the mannerin which
thu lawyer read it! No, y"u would
Shot; you would be giving all ear to
hrarif anything was left to you, and
how much it was. Thut is the way |
would advise you to hear the gospel"
Good advice, well worth remember

Pulnell johnson, who recently accompanied them
to Maryland. They were required to give bonds
for his return. The boy came back with them to
Philadelphia, and afterwards accompanied his EN-
plOyers to New York, from whence he has not re-
turned. The defendants say that they sent him
from Long Island to the city of New York with a
valise, and that since that time they have heard
nothing Of him. During the present week the fol-
lowing advertisement appeared in the columns OF
