It was feared by some of our people
long before the meeting came on that
the crowd would be so large that suit
able conveniences could not be made,
hut as the lime drew near, they set
out earnestly at work, making exten
sive preparations,and everything was
in readiness for the meeting with Ini',
lew exceptions. The fatted calf \vu-
slain, the frisky goat, and the meek
land), and as to the winged tribe,
there was no end, for they were all
prepared for this terrible calamity, as
they had heard of preachers before.
We feel proud of tlie hospitality ul
our people and their indomitable en
ergy. The crowd present wii* noi
