The protracted meeting at Har'

day and splendid sermons by Mr..
Sexton in the morning and by Mr..

converted Jew from Charleston.
Expects to 60 to Louisville, KY, to
study for the ministry in few

for me, Cowien. There were three
additions to the church and we
hope others may come prepared for

Hope our society may be well rep
