sermons which were preached by these
brethren. 1t speaks of hundreds of
additions to the church, tho building Of
now houses of worship, and the organ
ganization of Sabbath schools.
I'VE should put men in the field
wherever we see weak place. 1t is
not necessary that wo should have all
Scotch-Irish blood to take hold and
institute the principles of Presby terrain

Our church to-day, like Jackson's
