but God. But he believed that Go1 was In

Brother Weymsn said he came before
them with sincere repentance and = con.
trite heart. He was not accustomed to
speaking to an audience, but he tgusted that
God would enable him to tell them some-
thing Of his life, and how merciful. He had
been to him despite his wickedness. He had
enlisted in the English army in London in
1850, had fought in the Crimean war, and
In the Sefay rebellion, had afterwards fought
in China, and had received three medals
during service, ell Of which he had pawned
for rum. He had taught all through the
war of the rebellion in this country. He
had been saved through it all, and now he
intended to become better man, and he
asked the prayers Of the audience that he
might be firm and continue faithful to the
end. .....-..ss ......
Mr.. Weyman appears to be q man Of con.
siderable ability, and despite the wreck
which rum has made him look every inch
soldier. is" Ia

diers were tiard and foot sore there was
nothing like music to rouse them.up. 1t put
new life into them, and 50 he loved music :
and other people loved It, and they were
going to have It, and he suggested another
collection bs raised for the balance necessary
to procure band. The hats were passed
around and quite . number contributed.
Brother Lee said that unless 1t rained he
wished all the temperance people to meet at
the tent at 9 o'clockthis morning, to attend

come whether they had signed the pledge or
not, 80 It would do them good. There will
be parade before going to the grounds,
hey will march down Market to Front,
along Front to French, and out French to
The Brandywiue. Tie children would not
take part In thc parade as It would be too
