lIeve, been referred to in print is the
conceit of the citizens that there Is
among their number as great man in
every profession, as any other man in
the same profession. When Phillip
Phillips sang in one of our churches,
the people were loud in their declara-

Grafton can give him hundred and

ular verdict, "some such a man as
Capt. Morgan" If Tupper were to

Bellaire. Protracted meetings are be.

ciples' Churches, and have lately been
in the Methodist only onI
account of the exhausted condition of.
the epastor's strength. Rev. Pringle, ,oi
Morristown, is laboring very accepta.
bly, in the Presbyterian pulpit, and the
efforts of the pastor and this gentleman
are meeting with mecn success. There
are people unreasonable enough to
think that work for God is better than
work fer the Presby terian or. Disciples
or Methodist Church, and ha there.
fore it is wrong to allow the religious
to interfere with the Murphy
movement; but the churches have
independence not to see 1t in
that light.

and eloquent sermon last Sabbath
