Paul at o'clock next Tuesday morning, with
| the celebration of the Lords Supper, the vener-
able Bishop Simpson presiding.
| This is the first time in twenty-five years the

very active during the past week in providing
for the accommodation of the $50 persons who
will be in attendance, composed of 200 preach

preachers, which being an unusually large at

universal interest not only on the part of that,
but all other Evangelical denominations of
Christians, and moro especially as it will prob
ably be his last visit here, he having attained
the age Of seventy-three years, fifty

DR.. W. X. Marshall of the Jackson street

wisely been arranged to have that sermon deliv-
cred at the Opera house on Sunday morning
