Whoever failed to hear tho sermon of
Professor Riley on Sunday ut the presbyte-
rian Church lost an intellectual and moral
treat. We regarded it tho finest effort we had
heard in years. It was with both the power
of the spirit and the strength of reasoning,
combining argument with an appeal to the
emotional paturo in such proportion as to
make pleasing whole. Many were affected
to tears and wo trust all were spiritually
benefited.
Dr.. smeltzor md Rev. Neville exchanged
pulpits on last Sunday, tho former preaching
in tho Methodist Church at this place, morna

preached e.tcmpore and his subject, almost
thou pursuadest me to be Christian" was
ably and oloqucntly discussed.
