Rev. Joseph Steele occupied the pull
pit of the Congregational church last
Sunday, preaching two excellent sermons.
Father Steele does not ornament his ser

deliver them with all the graces of mod
ern elocutionist, but he does talk good,
sound, practical common sense, and it
comes from warm, affectionate Christian
heart. Long may he live to employ his
talents, and Christian virtues, with life
of usefulness, to the glory of God, and
the upbuiling of the Church of Christ.
