AROUND TOWN.
Rev, II. \. Jones preached in the g. p.
Church last Sunday morning ana night.
His text at night was the SSth verse of the
9Th cnapteT of Matthew, which relates 10
the conversion of the thief on tue cross. me
preacher did not deny the possibility OF
persons being saVingiy converted on theI
deatb-bed, but he thought il very danger

sons nuofcd tile conversion of the thief to
DrOVe' that death-bcd conversions were
fa1gLt in the Bible; but without justice, for
the latter was as much miracle as any
that were wrought by Our Savior.
