Since Friday evening last, the Rev. Mr..
Friend has been preaching nightly IN the
Christian church, on Eighteenth street.
He Is said to be young man OF ability.
Indeed, we have been assured by those
whose judgment We respect, that his
talents are OF high order, and that his
future is one of much promise. Notwith-
standing oil this, the Rev. gentleman has
some things to learn. He has to learn
that ne cannot, from his place in his
pulpit, causelessly insult our most re-.
spectacle young ladies and escape the re-
sentiment he thereby provokes. He must
learn that, when such young ladies are
driven, In shame, confusion and tears,
from their seats and the building, by his
unmerited and shameless reproofs, 1t Is
sorry victory for him, a man, 10 hurl
his insults at them until they pass be-
You'd the sound of his voice. This Is Il
short lesson, but when the Rev. Mr.,
Friend learns it he will know more about
the prophecies OF life. and will make
friends where he now makes enemies.
