It was indeed a remarkable sermon that he delivered last night as will he found elsewhere in tliis issue. At the start lie was a bit luervous. voice husky and strained and he frankly told the crowd that the strain of talking against the pattering rain drops on Friday af- ti-nioon had told on him. Ip .some manner, however, he grew strong- Jeras the sermon .proceeded land at the end he dallied longer than us- inal on the platform. ]
