no he'll, makes the coarse profanity that is
so commonly heard rather tame. If there

The attendance upon the regular
evening meetings of this week Of prayer,
have been increasing from the beginning,
alternating between the two lecture rooms

think that there is no man but himself.
and no wares equal to those he has for
sale.
