well be imagined; that the self-appointed

was no sinecure. Ainong the most lib-
eral of the popular preachers of the day
is Prof. David. SWing, of the Fourth

is a man of large culture, a close and
simple preacher of Christ •cracified—lov-
ing humanity well enough to beconie at
tunes so liberal at to forget ail about the
partition walls of either Old School or
New, eager to sa,te Men from the ram-

that he ehould be. the bee pastor of his
chareh, evhich -e orild, remain at least
