says: "MessTs. White and Francis, who
our city for the last two weeks, left for
their homes on yesterday. During their
STAY they have drawn the hearts OF
christian people to them. The plain
gospel preaching OF Mr.. Whittle and the
same gospel as sung by Mr.. Francis, has
been made q blessing to many in our
midst. These gentlemen leave us fol-
lowed by the prayers and benedictiOns
of all who made their acquaintance
during their stay with US. The bible
reading at the Presbyterian church on
yesterday morning was largely attended, |

loved brethren. The sui jsct, Heaven"

choicest blessings be upon them. The |
meetings will be continued through the |
week, morning and night, by our city |
