at Ocean Grove, as follows "The great SEN
sation of yesterday, however, was under the
iery sermon of DR.. J. A. B. Wilson, of Dover, |
Del. He came as a stranger, and didn't |
promise much by his brusque manner in the
line OF polished rhetoric; but he began to
preach on Galatians 3, I3-"Christ hath re-
deemed US from the curse of the law, j" and
n fifteen minutes the congregation was in a
vhirl of Excitement. Cries and shouts from

'eason.
