Ing advantage OF the large assemblage from
the country 10 do little electiOneering went
SO far as to make short addresses within
well enough to cultivate the busy bee and
improve each shining hour, yet ii is hoped
that should the candidates be present next
sabbath to discuss politics they will retire
further from the tabern icle. say to the out
skirts and there do their blowing, for to the
people from the country that seemed to bs
the great attraction, and one would have
thought that instead OF religious meeting

The sermon had a good effect on the con
gregatiOn, for when the Invitation was given

Two meetings were going on at the same
time, in different paris of the grounds. There
was good attendance at these meetings,
and as the most of those who gathered 10
hear were young people, much good is ex-
pected from The seed soWn.
IL is to be hoped that the party who has the
