spoke of the marves of regeneration as
being greater than the mysteries of
nature which surround us and whose force
has been powerfully demonstrated of
late in the disturbances of the elements
and the might of the wind. (which bloweth
whittier it HSteth and man knoweth
whence 1T cometh."
The workings Of the Brookland public

removed, and the bell is now doing only its
duty
