Manchester AT the Methodist Episcopal
church on Sabbath morning the Rev. Mr..
Garland preached from the words, Behold
the man." John, chap. xix, v. 5. He
depicted in beautiful words the God-like
character of Christ, whose every miracle
was for the promotion of good to mankind,
and in utter forgetfulness Of self. This
sermon was highly appreciated by the large
congregation in attendance. At night he
entertained his hearers from Proverbs,
chapter xiii. and part of the 18th and 18th
verses. ~ ....
At the Episcopal Hall, in the morning,
the Rev. Mr.. Dashiell, of Richmond,
preached sermon of rare beauty and
force from Jeremiah, chap. vi, Y. 80, and
in the afternoon from Acts, chap. viii, v.
Sc. This sermon was not doctrinsl one,
and not intended to advocate any peculiar
mode of baptism, but principally to COM
mend and hold up as an example the
prompt compliance Of the Euuuch with
Philips advice. The congregation, which
was large, were evidently pleased and i'm
pressed.
The Masonic Hall was crowded beyond
its capacity in the afternoon to hear the
Rev. Mr.. Brown, Presbyterian minister, who
took his text from Isaiah, chapter xxi,
w. The reverend gentleman showed the
Saviour to be the rufuge IF all who sre
burdened with Sin. 1t was an able effort.
There we're no services at the Baptist
church, but We sre pleased to be able to
state that the Rev. Mr.. Deans has been
called, and will commence his ministry
early in April. ~
On Wednesday night the Rev. Mr.. Ham
mond will preach at half-past o'clock at
the Episcopal Hall, and on Thursday at -
