At o'clock in the after noon he had not returned. and his friends became quite anxious about him, as would be natural; he being a man oyer eighty years old, it was thought some accident had befallen him.

It's fort appears to be to harmonize the various evangelical denominations, and to mak' them regard themselves as co-workers witt each other and with Christ, for the salva tion of men. It endeayors to convince this MT. A. of the Congregational church and that MT. B. of the Methodist, Baptist or Episcopal church, that although their idea of religion are very good, there are mode of other denominations that are in ever, respect as acceptable in the sight of hi Maker, as his own pet way of doing it. aims to banish from the Christians mind all sectarianism and denominational bigotry and in the glorious work it should receiv the sympathy and cooperation of ever. fair and liberal minded member of tn Christian church.
