The new Methodist minister, Rev
Geo. II. Thompson, preached two ser
nous on the. first Sunday after ms ar
rival here somewhat after The style o
Sam Jones, in witch he took DC
casion TO give his opinions about Other
denominations rather freely, which
might lead those who differ TO fern
harsh opinions of him. There is buI
Que Sam jones, but there are many
inexperienced Young men in Tho
world. We think Mr.. Thompson q
very clever Young man, and we hope
10 see him rise IN his sacred calling,
not hy %scrvilc i initiation, but by bold
personal originality.
