is-the horse having the fatigue, and the
agitate the liver and other internal organs for
some convalescents, the legs and loins must be
overworked. The thorough shake-up which
is got in the saddle is without effort, or with
the effort of only such muscles as can best
afford IT. and the student-rid comes back
with physical forces refreshed, besides the
exhllaration of movement for the spirit and
the change of mind.

The evangelist, Major Penn, holds two
meetings to-day in the Central Baptist
church, one at eleven o'clock in the morning
and one at eight o'clock at night, and one in
the First Baptist church at four o'clock in
the afternoon. Mr.. Penn objects to the
term 'anxious-seat" or ''mourner's BENCH
when applied to those presenting themselves
for prayer or instruction in his meetings,
denominating them his bible class or enquir-
ers after truth, and invites all simply willing
to know the truth to present themselves for
prayer, regardless Of feeling or previous faith.
He urges the skeptical, especially, to present
themselves, and this character of persons are
frequently numbered among his converts.
He insists that no one can occupy these
seats" and not become a christian. He is a
man of great earnestness and faith, ant. ere
lies on prayer In all his efforts. His meetings
are characterized by no excitement whatever.
On one occasion, when there were sixteen con-
versions within few minutes, in the First
Baptist church, the proceedings were as quiet
as the devotions of family circle. The public
are urged to attend these meetings, and see
for themselves the method of their conduction.
