itself really the power Of God to the
hearts of many Jews. But that just in

DEATH OF THE Rev. SAMUEL ORR
Mr.. William Paisley, Of Dobyville, Ark,
writes to the Southern Presbyterian the
following distressing news:
-" I have just come November 24th)
from the house of mourning, and write
to inform you of the sad, and what seems
to us the untimely, death Of Rev. Samuel
