dist church. The subject was 'Sense,
Sentiment and Superstition" and was
based largely on historical facts. 10 his
discourse Mr.. Cummings gave many
amusing Illustrations of the superstition
of the earlier period, also examples of
how easily people sre influenced by
signs and presentiments. Ia closing he
exhorted people to become less super

mings is a well known and gifted speak

natural and genial manner. His many
friends were glad of the opportunity to
hear him again.
