The sermon of Dr. Galloway on Sunday morn
ing was very able, and as that Of Mr. Avery at

The Bishop was unable to preach on account
Of the failure of his voice, and on Sunday night
could articulate but little above a whisper
It was sad TO see that once strong man bowed
and feeble, and the impress OF silence lail upon
the lips from which 80 often had flow ed glowing
words of elOquence and thrilling notes of en-
enlargement and counsel 10 the preachers and
the churches. Strong men bowed and wept and
none in the congregation but felt deeply moved
at the affection OF this grand old man.
