was never crowded before on any previous oc-

and even the stage was taken possession ofby the
eager throngs. At seven O'Clock even the passage

The first speaker was the Rev. Professor SMY THE
from Londonderry. He began by saying that he
was gratifed to know that the people OF this city
had been 80 enthusiastic in their reception Of the
foreigners who had just come among them. He
then spoke as to the responsibilities Of the Amer

Old World he said, it was rare in any one country
to meet with more than one people; but in America
there were found men Of all nationalities and
tongues, and the barriers one met with
In Europe were, he had already learned,

truth that all Christians would be brought to-
gether, and when it would be hard to tell where
one mans particular church following began and
the other ended. There was in the institutions of
