This is the second decision in favor of

THERE was very lively affair enacted

ed to. hold u number one hand, and play
ed it out TO win. The result was that

10 the well directed blows of an iron po-

THE survey of the Bellare and South

4 VERY interesting post norton was

Ex-REv. NAYLoR, reporter for the
.Staadard, thinks that We have "missed
our calling" and that as a divine we
would prove II success but We fear his
judgment will not do to rely on, in that
direction at least. He began school
teaching when quite II youth, and con-
tnued at that until he imagined that he
had call to preach the gospel. He
made several unsuccessful attempts at
that, and then quit. On one occasion he
preached in stone house about two
miles west of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, it was
about thirty years ago, and he was SIN
gle man. He took for his text
five verses in the New Testament; Ephe-
slams, 9TH chapter and from the 22d to
the 26th verses inclusive. "Wives sub
nit yourselves to Your own husbands"
&c, but he made such ridiculous mess
of it, that his hearers were most terribly
bored SO much So, that Rev. A. Gard
ner, who was present, thought it neccs-
sury to give brother Naylor severe
talking to, and Naylor would never
preach any more when Gardner was
about. We could mention many other
things connected with his ministerial ca
rcer, bat it is not necessary, n we know
enough to convince Us that us divine, he
was complete failure, consequently we
will decline taking advice as to the
course we shall pursue.
