appliances almost any time to quench the
spreading flames and save valuable
property. If logic does not move lis to

RIGHT Rev. BISHOP WALKER conducted
service in the Presbyterian church OIL
Sunday evening last. There was large
congregation in attendance and the
Bishops discourse ON the occasion was
much enjoyed. He preached from the
text: 20 that had wings like dove
for then would fly away and be a,
rest" The drift of the learned Bishops
discourse was to show that the Psalmists
wish was not the noblest, but that wiser
and worthier spirit would have beer
manfully to rise superior to the vexation:
and Affections that bcset the Christian
rather than to sigh for wings to flee away
from them. Rev. Appleby. the rector
assisted in the preliminary and confirm
alton services.
