He, introduced considerable now matter and otherwise made his remarks so interesting that he was listened to attentively throughout by the breth- ren and also by those outside the pale of the Order, who were present, many of the latter aeh❑owledgim, that the manner in which Bro. - Tudd presented the claims of Orange- isni'ou the Protestant public was so convincing as to iuitke it appear iniperativo that all Protestants should give the Order a hearty sup- porteveu if theydid notjoiu the Suci- ' oty.
