The weather has been extremely favora
bic. dry and warm. remarkably so fo,
December there not being even III,
slightest frost for over Il week. II does
seem that Providence has been i'm favor
"i the meeting, or such splendid clima
lic conditions for a tent meeting never
would have been bestowed Let tn,
praise for good weather be given to Him
who docth all things well. But prais,
certainly must he ascribcd for the great
and good work which has been accom-

we cannot subscribe TO the peculiar mod,

accord him that liberty of Interpretation
oi the Scriptures which we claim fo,
ourselves, and stand ready to acknowl-

wonderfully for the accomplishment of

fine. Plain. earnest. pointed and at times
eloquent he dealt sin centre blows and
