prised those present, by opening an address, APP
parsntly out Of time, the grand truth pervading
the whole ScriPture-man Is fallen, and Christ Is
his Saviour Then, addressing the Rev. DR..

sion Of their apprec ation of his generous useful

nature in Syria and Palestine" by Val de Veide,

all its works of good, but particularly for Its

these superb views he would live over the scenes
of his Oriental travels, he might thus come to his
Bible Class refreshed and strengthened, to return
the fruit of their liberaltV.
