There was an immense audience as sembled in the court house to the sal vation meeting on Sunday night General Light preached from the 3rd rvices chapter of St. John, on the “New twelve Birth. ' Among other things he said: “The New Birth means more than a reformation, an amendment, a moral change or outward alteration of life. It means a thorough change of heart, will and character; a resurrection •rom the dead; an implantation in the heart of a divine principle from heaven.
