able to Blaine, and their horns and roos-

| Buried Cities at the Congregational

| lecturer and the subject will no doubt
| be sufficient 10 insure an immense au-
dience, and especially all who were so tor
tunate as to hear him on last Sunday even
ing in his vivid description OF Pauls jour
ney from Jerusalem TO Damascus, and OF
his conversion, Will avail themselves Of this
opportunity TO again listen to the almost
matchless eloquence and scholarly diction
of the eminent divine. The lecturer will
speak from personal observation and study
OF the scenes and ancient ruins, and his
powers of placing his audience in personal
| presence of the scenes he describes will
render the lecture upon the subject in hand
| of almost enhancing interest.
