REL1eIous MEETINe.-Rev. Cornell.
ous Springer, President Of the M. A. c.,
Of the NJ. p. Church, has been in our
city since Friday last, holding his regular
annual meeting. Mr.. s., although over
go years Of age, and having been in the
ministry for more than 40 years, possesses
all the vivacity Of youth. In his minis
trations he evinces the same zeal for the
cause Of his Master for which he was
distinguished in early life. On Sabbath
morning lie delivered discourse upon the
doctrine Of Divine Providence, which
would be worthy to be printed in letters
of gold. Ii is sometimes SAID that, "lhe
old preachers are behind the age" but
we beg leave to say, that the sermon to
which We refer was as far superior 10 the
fne-spun, metaphysical nonsense which
is sometimes dished out from The pulpit,
by would-be orators, as fact is superorto
fiction, or as light is superior 10 darkness
But our object is not TO write an essay
'upon.lhe abors of the EuIpil. MIR. Sprin-
ger has in this region many warm perso.
nal friends and admirers, and ii is devout
ly hoped that his welcome visit and well
directed labors in and out Of the pulpit
may prove lasting blessing 10 the church
and 20 the community.

two years he has been in Wheeling Va.

ton for Chaplain 10 Congress, having re.
ceived the next to the highest vote, in a
