Tuesday, and reported having fine
sermon by the Elder. :. Rev J. Ford
went to preside at quarterly meeting

Brother Chambers from Newton, took
his place in the pulpit here, and delivered
an interesting sermon. Bro. Ford's
gifted wife lead our league meeting

thinkS"How we apples swim" But

really utterly unfit to teach such ig-
