cases, which he represented to be infallible

Let Us Practice What ID so Well Preached.
Editor National Rrpub,iean:
Rev. DIR. Mitchell, on Sunday last, gave his

hoarts met hearts In Christian fellowship, and 1t
will be perceived Al once that charity TO the poor
goodwill To men. formed the subject Of his dis

religious obligation, of visiting the humble in life
and adminste ering tho cup OF consolation to their
physical and spiritual wants.
Yet as listened with the deepest Interest to the
burning words Of exhortntion which fell from the
