minutes audience frequently interrupted
by hearty demonstrations applause Only during

speaker Which is not known 10 all who acquainted

noblest work OF God, must not be dcgraded-fu

Such was the tenor Of the lecturers remarks which
were listened TO with every manifestation OF pleasure by
a very select auditory.
