REV. THOS. OGLE'S VALEDICTORY.
We were not aware of the strict rules
Of order when we intruded on Mr..
presence, and being aware of
church prejudice would not have re-
sented the personal TRADE, but when
friends living at the ''Pier'' and a
member of st. Paul's church told us of
the state Of affairs and conside ed it
our duty to uphold the dignity and pro-
OF the pulpit we returned the
compliment. We do not consider it in
the light of any reflection on the per-
sonal of any Church, and did not in
tend it to be, but a matter OF vindicat-
ing the usages, customs and propriety
Of the attendants and members of st,
raul's church, Or any other. We hope
others will look at it in that light with
unprecedented mind.
Not wishing to act cowardly by hit
ting q man behind his back and keep
ing out OF his sight, we sent Mr.. Ogle a
marked copy Of the RECORD before
Church time and went TO near his fare
well sermon, Friday evening Of last
week. He did not preach but started
the revival services after telling a
pathetic story. At the close of the
services he said lie thought there was
some good being done as the devil was
stirred up and the people talking. John
Wesley use 10 ask his missionaries if
they had converted any one. II not,
had they made any M mad. If so,
then they had done some good. If you
throw u stone amongst a pack OF dogs
aud ~ runs off yelping you know he
was the one hit. Ii he had not hollered
no one would know he had been hit.
We were the dog that got hit. We
peither run nor yelped, but from per-
sonal observation and reports it is said
that the last brick struck the wrong
dog and some one got bit badly.
We copy the following ill.,. sthe
