RELIGIOUS DIscouRsE.-Ac ccording to
announcement, Rev. G. f Wiswell
preached Religious Discourse to the
members of Columbia Lodge, No. 2G,
|. O o. F., on Sunday evening, in the
Central Presbyterian Church. Although
a religious discourse there were points in
the remarks of the speaker so well and
specially adapted to certain class of
Odd-Fellows, that one would suppose
they had been introduced for their eXclu-
sive benefit The discourse throughout
was peculiarly fitted to the times and the
occasion, and gave the utmost satisfaction
If the male hearers of the congregation
particularly were not instructed and their
views of citizenship and duty much en-
enlarged and corrected by Mr., Wswel's
Discourse, then it is folly to hope to i'm
prove public virtue by any process of
logic or oratory We shall eudeayor To
give II synopsis of the Discourse in our
next issue,
