Mr.. Brown stepped into the pulpit and
after opening the Bible, laid the other
books which lay on the pulpit off onto
the rail Mr.. Brown very much resembles
his brother, +. A. Brown. He is slightly
shorter: his hair is almost snow white;
hi, face is cleanly snaven, and shows
his character TO be that of an advanced
thinker. His chest is very full. and his
profile, looking at him from a distance
reminds one quite forcibly of President

the snow white hair probably causing
the resemblance.

mental exercises, The speaker read the
seventh chapter of Revelations. Then
after making a few appropriate open
ing remarks, selected as his text the

subject was divided into three parts
under the heads: Whence came
they in white robes2" Second-"The
method or mode of salvation. Third
