On the occasion to which we re-

-"Send 'em upl | can pray for

for a dozen. Send 'eln up. If
You haven't any paper, get up and
name the friend you would have
prayed for" bs.
At this stage of the proceeding

half in his stockings, notorious
unbelieyer, and a confirmed wae
to boot, rose in the midst of the
congregation, a mark for all, ard
amidst the winks, and beeks, ana
