Rev. j. 5. Willis preached, last Sunda,
morning and evening, in Tome Memoria
Church, Port Deposit. His subject i'll tn
morning was an exposition of the Parabl
of the Talents The natural plan by whic

highly edifying TO the congregation. Hi
subject at night was an able and well pre-
pared argument in defence Of the super

for the divine authenticity of the Bible wa
clear and convincing and a complete retuta
tion of much of the current SkepticiSln c
the present day. Mr.. Willis is we'll an

an announcement that he will preach neve
