The arrangement for Sabbath services
was somewhat changed from that re.
ported Saturday. There was no service
held in the Methodist Church, that con-
gregation attending al the Presbyterian
Church, to listen TO the discourse by
Rev. DR.. Richards. A very large au-

al other available places being crowded.
The address was exceedingly interest.

tcnlion. A pleasant, lOrciblo speaker

Of Ezekiel, taking from it tho following
text:

court; and when ! looked behold o hole
in the wall. Then said he unto mo, son
Of man, dig now in tho wall and when l

mentioned in that connection in Satur-
days report.
