says: "The oase now transcends the
power of church conferences or well

Unless the frightful exposition is
answered promptly and fully, tho most
famous pulpit since Paul preached iu
Athens is silenced. There is no longer
safety uud dignity in a refusal to
answer. Becoher's own hand seems to
bear witness against him. Satisfactory
proof of the falsity of the accusation
will bo hailed as the tidings of great
joy, and the position of the great
preacher will be stronger than ever in
the hearts of thousands; if he fails to
clear himself, all Christendom will
deplore the loss, and the pistol shot of
Booth will have caused no deeper, and
not so hopeless, a national sorrow.

of this mysterious and beautiful stream

by every change of the wind, and
acres of drifting froth dance upon its
broad surface. The river is a obaiu of
lovely lakes, interwoven iu a net-work
of wonderful marshes and Itigoous. It
is Haid to bo tbe ouly river iu the
