Responding to tlila expression from the congregation, the evan gelist set forth that ho had ex pected to be at homo next week and that there were particular reasons why his family desired him to be at home at this time; but that he as ready to make the sacrifice and to remain as long a* might be necessary to complete tlte work begun In this commun 11 deterring lo reports In Italolgh newspapers to the effect that he waa exported In that city Sunday night.
