for which we are indebted to Mr.

excellent, and gave me more conf

immense amount of property during

dark and gloomy, as if nothing could
be saved, / dismissed all, and kept
the Sabbath in the good old way. On /

preached his 8,000th time onS Sabbath,
Aug. 18th, aud the following Sabbath
forty years since he began preaching. \
He has thus preached from a text 200
times a year, oman average, during the
last forty years.. He preached 4,272
times during the twenty years he /
was minister of the Congregational
Church in. IDarien. During his min
istry he. has seen eighty-three. reYiFals
of religion, IN which three thousand
souls protested to receive the Lord
Jesus. as their Saviour. Having recov-
cred his usual health, he has taken

when Starr King. the great Unitar- /
ian minister of California, died, some
of his friends declared his place never
could be filed by which they meant
that so popular a preacher, could never
arise again on the Atlantic Coast or
in San Francisco. Tt Seems, however,
that Rev. Ao.fL. Stone, ID. d., the
orthodox Congregationalist of Boston,
who a few months ago went out for
permanent stay in California, is more
of sensation in San Francisco than |
Mr.. King. Those who do not 60 be-
fore the hour of service get no seats, 1
and those who, go at the hour have to |
stand in the aisIes.a There seems to |
be a Juror in regard to his preaching.
DR.. Stone is a man of rare talent and !
wonderful pulpit power, as those who !
lave heard him in Boston can testify. |
His salary is stated to be $4,000 in |
gold. 49,, 49, l''is sa4 ~, - L-.6. y
