citation Of Cough. For an hour he literally

immediate submission to the Holy Ghost as
a sanctitier from all sin, and requested that
the space around the altar, occupied by
campstools and their proprietors, should be

fession of religion. DR.. Dare is said to be
one of the most cultivated ministers and ac-
complished speakers in the Wesleyan con-
