that his strength was failing, and that
he would probably be forced to close his
meeting. But he writes Rev. M. MEG.

the meeting very much better even
than he expected. His meeting has
closed at Salisbury, and he Is resting
a few days at Connolly Springs. He is
expected here October 10, ready to be-
gin his meeting on Sunday night. Goth.

known whether he will recover. Hall
has not been captured. He is a small
