his purposes, but with no particular
allusion to the elements, when the
storm broke, causing the congrega-
ton to scatter Thunder roared and
lightning flashed, but the minister
continued his sermon. When he had
finished there We're only about five
persons in the audience. The storm
continued the greater part of the
night.
