DIR. M'Clintock, during the recent Wesley
an Missionary Anniversary, made m address
before an immense audience 10 Exeter Hall,
London. We give an extract:
The Times has been trying to persuade
the British people recently that there il no
American Republic any more that it has
all sunk fathons deep. II said, the day be-
fore yesterdao, just in the words that will

moro - and Gervase Smith left ut out or
his speech! Shall 60 home and tell my
friends that don't know whether you be
lieve with the Times or not? am inclined
TO think you do not; but If you have the
slightest disposition to believe any euoh doc.
trino as that, let me tell you, I" lay not the

rejoicing is very far away. ICheers.1 What
sort of prophet would that have been who,
| just at the beginning of the conflict OF the
American Revolution, when Great Britain
was going to fight her rebellious colonies,
should have said Great Britain was no
more2
What would have been thought OF the
man who would have said, after you had
given up the American colonies far big

editing papers at the time Of your rebellion
in the East indies, should have made use OF
such an expression az that am not afraid
OF talking about the Times, because l am

for two or three days, that Great Britain

Let me say to you, Mr.. President, and
