the cause of Sabbath schools, takes his
hearers along with him and leaves an I'M
preston upon them seldom equallcd. lie
spoke of Christian duty, and of the duty
of working while the day lasts because
they were sure only of the present. His
words were so filled with love that he en-
| listed the sympathies of the audience in
such n manner that they were willing to
say, Lord what wilt thou have me to do. -
At the close of the Sabbath school he made
| some remarks to the school, and gave q
| blackboard exercise upon the lesson of the
| day, ''thc serpent Of brass" At the left
Of the board he drew representation of Il
| pole upon which was serpent under
| il the word 'look." At the right he drew
a cross with the word 'believe' under it,
and between the two the word "only,
showing the smiltudc between them, for
if you look at the serpent you are better
and shall live, and by looking at the cross,
if you only believe, you shall live eternally.
In the evening his theme was christian
work and love He held his audience,
which was composed of members of three
churches, for over an hour, and closed al
most from exhaustion. lie was assisted
in the evening exercises by Rev. Messrs.

great profit to the schools, and we shall
give him hearty reception should he ever
visit us again. After the evening eXer-
cises, MS Mr.. +. III. Allen, wife and son,
with Mrs. Joseph Steele of Middlebury,
were on their way home in the rain and
darkness, when going up the hill that leads
! to Mr.. Aliens residence, the whole party
went down the bank, distance of over
twenty feet. Mr.. Allen was considerably
injured. The ladies escaped with only
slight injuries. 1t Is a wonder that any
of them came out alive. 5.
