he first sermon of this course was delivered
two weeks since by Rev. G. W. Samson, and was
hs0 med to by large and highly appreciatve au.
dier Ace.
The theme last evening was the "planting,
pr psperity, and growth of the Church. as illustrated
by the burning bush," and was treated in a clear,
logical and eloquent manner. The congregation
on this occasion was small, owing, no doubt, to the
VI pheasant weather.
