OUT DOOR PREACHING.
There has been regular ont door preaching
ia the Court House Square all summcr 'cv-
cry Sunday afternoon and evening. Most Of
IL has been lay preaching OF the orthodox
kind. But lately, some not regarded rs sound
IN the faith, have taken 20 preaching, aud
some disturbances have occurred and the
utility OF the measure Is being discussed. lt
h found that free speech means o fair hear
ing for all siduH. Some like this, but others
do not. Good agencies may be perverted to
bad uses. b.
