ST.. PAUL ScREEDs.

ST. PAUL ScREEDs.-
The preacher Harrison continues to
draw large audiences and convert sim
ners. His continued success seems
wonderful, and the thinking auditor
studies to find out the secret of his
success. A man of slight frame, with
no surplus flesh or tat, he has the
elasticity of a teacher of calisthenics
His voice, while not the worst, seems
to be harsh and wiry. He uses Ian.
guage that is often incorrect. While
lacking that polish and intellectual
training so noticeable in Rev. S. W.
Homer, he does III several ways re-
semble him. His gestures are vehe.
ment, his action intense, often errat.
ic, and his discourse is as anecdotal
as Coughs. He is a man of no fami-
ly, unmarried, and seems wholly in
earnest. He will be at the Red Rock
camp meeting, and if we mistake not,
he will make it a memorable season.
The secret of his success can hardly
be based upon his personality, aside
from supernatural influence. We saw
in an audience that had probably
come, one half to criticise, and the
other half from curiosity, about sixty
come to the alter and with unfeigned
tears and deep emotion, seek signs of
divine forgiveness, which many found
and perhaps fifty more were convinc-
ed of their need of reconciliation, and
weeping in their seats. The testimo-
MES of those who were saved, were
startling and the scene, with a hun
bred weeping for either joy or sorrow,
as the evangelist, walking around
upon the top of the seats, gave the
seekers word of comfort or advice,
was one not easily forgotten. The
scoffers were awetl and as the redeem
ed gave their testimony, their faces
seemed to shine with supernatural
lustre, like that of Moses as he came
down from the Mount. More than
one observed this and with scientific
eyes, too. lie is either mystery or
veritable man of God. His physi-
ognomy shows that he lives in his re-
ligious and intellectual nature, rather
than in his senses. lie is not sensual,
nor even sensous. He knows not the
arts of oratory, except earnestness,
and yet his hearers follow his emo
tions in spite of themselves. A ST.
Paul audience is exceptionally cold,
cynical, and Indifferent or stolid, but
he is a master of all their moods.
Hear him at Red Rock and you will
not regret it, even if you care for him
only as physiological study.
Rev. w. j. Perry, formerly of
Trimbelle, and well known in ada
cent pedagogical circles, is making
st. Paul his headquarters for a cam
paign in the interests of life insur-
ance company of Red Wing, and re-
ports good success, which pleases us,
as he deserves it.

At the stated communication OF
River Falls Lodge, f. & A. M, last
Tuesday evening d. ID. Proctor in be-
half of Matthew II. Proctor, Esq,
presented the lodge with photo like
ness of the late Hollis II. Proctor,
which was received by w. NJ, r. r.
Bourn with the following remarks.
Bro. D. d. Proctor: l accept, in be-
half of Brethren of River Falls Lodge
No. 100, f. & A. NJ, this well execu-
ted and elegantly framed likeness of
our deceased worthy Brother Hollis S.
Proctor, and will assign it conspicu-
turn through you to the donor, Matth-
ew Proctor, Esq, our heartfelt thanks
for this highly priced mementO. And,
my brethren, las something is probably
expected of me at this time, i'll the
office which l have now the honor to
fill. l shall beg leave to lead your at
tentiOn for few minutes, whilst re-
call to your remberance some of the
prominent features of the life of our
late brother. Ardent in his pursuits,
he steadily persevered in promoting
the interests of every society, wheth-
er of business or amuSement,of which
he was member, and thereby justly
obtained prominence in each. If in
the course of his transactions in bust
ness, his schemes were not always
successful-ifa sanguine temper some
times led him too far in the pursuit of
a favOrite plan, whatever might be
urged against his prudence, none ever
suspected the rectitude of his princi-
pies; and if, at any time, he was I'M
Intentionally the cause of misfortune
to others, it was never without his be-
ing, at the same time himself suffer
er. HIS zeal and integrity for the
principles inculcated in our sublime
Institution, was prominent feature
in the after-part of his life. To those
more conspicuous and public parts of
his character l am happy to be able to
add that he possessed in an eminent
degree the virtues of benevolent
heart-virtues which ought ever to be
the distinguishing marks of II true
brother. Our worthy brother has
gone to that land, where, in respect of
the passions and prejudices of mortals,
all things are forgotten; where he is
far removed from the applause or cen
sure of the world. But whatever can
tend to enhance the value of departed
merit, must to an ingenious mind,
prove an Indictment to the perform
ance of praiseworthy actions; and, if
we make the proper use of this in
stance of mortality, our brothers
death may prove of higher utility to
us than all those advantages for which
in his life time we stood indebted to
him.
