Rey. Dr. Hcge.

DR.. Hoge preached Sunday morning
and evening to large congregations and
his sermons were marked by great ten
derness and eloquence, anu last night
from 8 to 10 o'clock in the lecture-rOom
OF his church there was a social gather
ing TO give him a personal greeting after
his three months trip abroad. A number
of brother ministers, most Of the mem
bers of his congregation, and many from
other churches and from the community
at large, called during the hours named
to clasp his lnnd-to give him welcome
home and to congratulate him upon his
improved health. He was looking first
rate and was unusually felicitous in his
expressions responsive to the kind
things said to him. The ladies Of the
church had decorated the lecture-room
with potted plants and served refresh
ments from a table spread IN the infant
class room.
Dr. Hoge has spoken with exceeding
gratitude Of the kindness of the people
