nances direct The pastor Rev ]. DAILY, first
delivered sermon on the necessity Of penance
as well as repentance, showing that one was
necessary to the other, and pointed out to the
flock the new obligations they we're contracting
with God. After the sermon had been concluded

the congregation, but their acceptance of it
would impose no burthen upon them which he
himself was unwilling to assume. His propo-
sition was that they should all take the temper
anoe pledge for one year. He first pronounced
bis own pledge, and then asked all who were
willing to perform similar duty to stand up,
when the entire congregation rose to their feet.
