The preaching was attempted ! by young Mr. Dennis; but his tongue seemed to be swollen or some way so -stiffened that he failed to articulate plainly. He said something about Lazarus, full of sores, being laid at the rich man's gate, and the rich man wouldn't give him anything to eat. lie had sense enough to cut it short, and the sceue was relieved when the mourners were called to j the altar. The preaching woman treated us to another holy dance while the singing was going on for | the people to come to ihe a'itar by invitation, for conversion, for sau-tilication, for baptism of fire, r.ud for ' dynamiting the soul.''
