in the world to make lost sinner see
the way of salvation. The world is
full OF people who do not understand
the language Of the gospel, to whom

or any other strange language. With
the statement that he came with nc
new truth or idea, but simply TO pre-.
sent the old, old story, the minister
proceeded upon orthodox and scrip

every attentive hearer. At the con-
clusion of the service Ave persons
were added to the membership OF the

letter and one by relation. The night
