3. What Is DR.. Westwood's opinion
about Methodist preachers who visit coffee
housesH
CITIZENS, NOT SALOON KEEPERS.
l beg leave 10 say that ! shall most
cheeriully answer them, although / am
not bound In justice or courtesy 10 pay
any attention TO anonymous communicG.
tons answer these question for two
reasons: 1st, because they are respectful
in their tone; and I'd, because II do not
answer them, It may be said by designing
persons that | am afraid or unable to meet
them. But ! wish 1t to DO distinctly I'm.
derstOod that, in the future, shall not
regard myself as obliged TO answer any
questions or communications that may
be addressed to me, especially If unac.
COmpanied by respectable and response.
BILE names. Nor shall l allow myself to
be drawn into u newspaper or pulpit
controversy. Mycourse shall be straight
forward, despite any efforts on the part of
others 70 divert attention from the main
question by presenting side issues, With
this understanding l take up the queries.
AS l do not know that liquor is sold for
other than medicinal purposes, in any of
our drug stores; or that any Of the mem.
bers OF my congregation have made mon.
ey by selling whisky" or that any
Methodist preachers visit "cotIee houses"
and as the questions arc not at all specific,
and have no responsible name attached
to them, regard them as hypothetical.
| then reply:
|. The sale OF liquor in drug stores, if
the druggist should not be imposed upon
land can readily see how he might be),
but If he should know, us the saloon keep.
or surely does, that the liquor is to be
used as o beverage, would be, in my opin.
ion, as wrong as It's sale in "Coflee hOnses,"
and would receive from me the same con.
domination.
2. Any member OF any congregation in
the city OF Wheeling, who, while accumu.
lating n fortune In the liquor business,
would have the moral courage 10 give 1t
up, should be honored, and the more 30 II
he would "bring forth fruits meet Tor re.
pentance," in honest endeavors TO advance
the cause OF Christ by abundant aims and
noble deeds. He would bear his patent
of respeCtability from God, who has de-
Clared "Let the wicked lorsake his way
and the unrighteOus man his thought;
and let him return unto the Lord and He
will have mercy upon him; and to our
God, for He will Gbundantly pardon"
Isaiah Lv. y.
8. Any minister Of the Gospel, who would
visit Coffee Houses" except to snatch a
soul from hell, or to do some other deed
Of mercy, would act very imprudently;
and any preacher who wonld visit them for
thepurpOse Of drinking, should be deposed
at once, If allowed by his congregation
to remain among them, he would be, in
my opinion, n blind leader of the blind.
"And if the blind lead the blind, both
shall fall into the ditCh."-(Matthew XIV,
LAY
Throughout the sermon and appendix,
the large audience paid the closest attcn.
ton to the speaker, and it was evident
that he had given expression 10 the views
entertained by large majority Of his
hearers.

FEAST OF PENTECosT.-This feast,
known as Whit Sunday in the Church
calendar1 occurred yesterday, and was
observed with appropriate services in the
several Catholic churches in the city.
Among the Israelites, it is called the Feast
OF Weeks, because it is celebrated seven
weeks after the PassOver-that is, on the
ti(tieth day after the sixteenth of the
month Nissan, which was the second day
OF the feast OF the Passover. The Israel.
ties offered at PentcCost the fist fruits Of
the wheat harvest, which at that time was
completed Besides these, they presented
at the temple seven lambs OF that wear,
one cali and two rams, TO be offered for a
burnt Offering, two lambs for peace otter.
ing, and goat for u sin offering. Pentc.
cost was one of the three great festivals
amongst the lsrGelitCs, on which every
male was obliged to appear before the
Lord at the Tabernacle, and after,
ward in the Temple. The modern Israel
ties celebrate it during two days, which
they keep like those Of the Passover
The feast was instituted to give thanks tc
God for their land and its fruits, and &c
acknowledge His absolute dominion ovel
all things The festival OF Pentecost was
also appointed, according to tradition, tc
return thanks to God for the law which
lie gave on Mount Sinai on that day
For this reason the Israclitcs dress their
SynagoguCs where the law is read, with
green boughs, roses, &c. From this
tradition, the lsraelitics Of the prcscn,
day usually call it the Fcast Of the Law

A MASSACHUSETTS, Man on RICnMoSD.-I
remained in Richmond three weeks, during
which time / attended the meetings Of the
General Assembly and saw many Of the nota-
bilitics of Virginia. The Legislature con-
tains many men of great ability, and heard
it asserted that many years have elapsed
since so many men of talent were collected in
the halls Of the capitol. The Governor Is
velv popular, and is looked upon as " the
right man in the right place" lie is the
handsomest fellow have seen for many
day.
Richmond has the air Of great city in
prospect. 1t must become one of the chief
manufacturing points iii America. When |
beheld the mighty James roaring down over
its huge bolilders felt that the water-power
of Virginia was second only to that of Mag
ara.
The citizens CT Richmond seem to be fully
conscious Of the high position and destinies
Of their city. They have metropolitan air
that is uulnistakablc; each man that you

by Captain j. NJ. Tyler, President of the
Club; Sergeant B. F. Howard, Treasurer;
Mr.. Daniel Wren, Secretary; Captain Plea
