There was a bold frankness in his man

At a meeting of Ministers at Bristol, tho

strains ofpublic preaching. When several
had given their opinion, and had" mention,

such as were models as to sylo of composi

RtinnTPi- and solicited :. his ooinion. He

when such men were discotirsin-: but that
iie fell it a dulya coni)ly with this re-
quest. ' H it," said he, 'ul I mu.it give my
upuiioii, I should say that ye have no good
. prea,ehers in England."
! '-A'o?" said Mr. I,
i ' No' said he ; -'that is, 1 mean no such
preachers as we have in the principality."

Weichman, "you make them jump ! A ;
