RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. I Trosident Farlow Makes Public His Annual Keport. Methods by Which the D., I & W. Cuts Kates— News Befirsred, Borrowed anti Manufactured. TUK OHIO DIVISION. Annua! Report of the C , S. & C . Operated by the 1., 15. & W. Th* annual report of the Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland road, leased to the 1., B. & W„ has been issued in pamphlet form for the year ending June 30, 1883. It contains the following interesting facts and figures: During the year a cash dividend amounting to $79,761 was paid on the common stock, In addition to which $17,160.16 was paid to the trustees of the 'sinking fund, and $12,741 In compromise and settlement of suits for personal injuries in collisions at Tiffin and other points, making a total .-of $109,662.73. This is in addition to the payiment of the Interest on the entire funded debt ’and the current yearly expenses, besides several Items of extraordinary expenses. The as'sets show an excess of $6,934.59 over those of ,the corresponding date last year. The ourstandMng mortgage bonds have been reduced by purchase foi'tbe sinking fund $19,000 during tno rear ending June 30, and $17,000 since (up to Oct 1) The company has no floating debt, and had on hand at the above named date cash, $35 471 68, as the nucleus for dividend on the \ common stock, which, says President Farlow, vehooe increased earnings will enable us to 'pay before the close of the current year. Passenger earnings on our road have made a gratifying increase all through the year. Freight learnings, however, for the past eight months have not been at all satisfactory, nor what from Ifrom the outturn of the four months preceding /them we had a riglit.to expect. We may, from ipresent appearances, predict a better result, the icoming year, as the coal mining and iron industries generally are recovering from the seveie depression of the past two years, and the corn '.crop in Indiana, Illinois and other Western fctatea promises to be a very large one this year. GENERAL. NEWS. A Move to Change Public to Conform to Standard Railroad Time The authorities of the leading cities are now considering the advisability of changing the public time to accord with the standard time to be •adopted by the railroad companies on the IStli of November. In eastern cities some opposition •to such a change of public time is springing up, which, doubtless, is founded on a short sighted iview of the question. It is generally conceded that,with the rapid growth ofour railway system, the adoption of some uniform time standard is 'becoming imperative. The change might have been delayed a few years longer, but each year’s delay increases the inconvenience, and eventually, when railway traffic expands to a volume of which we have now only a slight, intimation, the adoption of a more systematic method would he forced upon the companies, not only as a means of avoiding inconvenience, but also t hat accidents might bo prevented. Now, taking it for granted that for railway purposes there must tie a standard time, and that the one that *the standard-time convention has derided njmn •is the most practicable, the question remains whether it is desirable for the general community to have two time standards instead of one. With the business growth of our country, and with the disposition and necessity arising of making frequent journeys, the railway has becoinsintimately associated with the domestic and trade life of our people. It seems desirable that tire public time and that of the railroads bo identical.

The New Pacific Route. Ttie opening of the Atlantic A Pacific railroad in connection with the Atchtnson, Topeka & Santa Ff, and Houthern Paclfio railways for freight traffic to San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose. Stockton, and other points in California, is announced by circular. It is called the “Santa Fe line.” Tnis road is owned jointly by the Atchtnson, Topeka A Santa Fe and the St. Louis A Sun Francisco, opens to-day for through business. The road is well built, steel railed, lias low crudes, and is in a temperate zone that *hou.d prove a favorite route for travel and traffic. Ir the Atchtnson, Topeka A Santa Fe Kailroad Company will maintain its agreement with the Atlantic A Pacific in letter and spirit, and •will turn all its transcontinental business formerly going by Deming over to the Atlantic A Pacific, as it is announced it will, the new route should make good profits for its securityholders, as it is the lowest cost and lowest bonded Pacific coast lino. Discipline in Hi** Railway Pool. The difficulty of enforcing family discipline among theunruly members of the railway pool leads to the suggestion by a New York financial journal to Commissioner Fink that ho should try the effect of administering corporal ptinishmentall around. The proposition is a sound one in theory. But. while the theory is undoubted there seems to be very grave difficulties in the wav of putting it into practice. ftxaerly how Mr. Fink should go to work to spank the New York Central or give the Pennsylvania railroad a sound caning is a oonuiidrm. The Pittsburg Dispatch says it is probably true that at sound licking would be highly beneficial u> those quarrelsome fellows. Wihie Vandernilr, Johnny Garret, Georgia Roberta ami Hammy Sloan. Cutting Rates by Changing Classification. Commissioner Fink and the trunk-line executive committee are puzzling their brains to ascertain in what manner and to what amount the Delaware, Lackawanna A Western, or fast freight lines operated over it are cutting west-bound rates. If they will send a bright fellow West to investigate he will flod that fancy tin and wooden toys, which should be shipped on one and one, half {first-class rates, are shipped as tinware nested solid, and at fourth-class rates; that willow-ware (boxed, which should be double first-class rates, ils billed us first class; t bat lamp chimneys, which nhuuln be shipped as first class, ore shipped as bottles, and at fourth-class rates, the cut rate being.given by changing the classification. Prosper ous Beyond Parallel. Officials of the Chicago, Burlington A Quiucy road say that September earnings will bo the largest of any month in the history of the road, und October earnings promise largely. As values now range, the holders of Oil lira go. Burlingiton A Quincy stocks ought not to complain of 120® 125 as a market pr ice for that security.

Miscellaneous Notes. Railroad casualties in this country for eight jjnontlis past resulted In 2G4 persons boing killed *• ad £<>9 seriously Injured. The Boston Herald says: “Os course, every Jn;teUigi ut person knows that the reul value of ,'Western railroad stocks iu 1877 and 1883 is not fcomparalde. The essential difference between now and then is that in 1877 wo had not returned to specie p&vfiHMits, ami there was therefore no standard of value. 'Hie financial mind >was then filled with forebodings of what might come with resumption. Amu Iter important disKu'caoe betweeu these two periods lies iu tho

enormou* increase in railroad earnings during the last live years, which lias, of course, greatly increased ihe intrinsic value of railroad property.” Passenger conductors on the Chicago *fc Eastern Illinois road always remark, wtieu a cash fare is banded them, “Please purchase a ticket next tune you take my train.” The Denver, Memphis Si Atlantic, company has been organized to build a narrow-gauge road from Denver, Col., across Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas to Memphis, Teuu. The tonnage carried over the Pennsylvania railroad, main line, between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, annually, is fully as great as that of the foreign commerce of the great republic. PERSONAL AND LOCAL. Movements of Railroad Men—The Striking Switchmen Hunting Jobs. C. J. Hepburn, general superintendent of the Ciucinnat, Hamilton Si Dayton lines, la to bo In the city to day. C. E. Henderson is so unwell that he did not go to Chicago last night to attond the pool meeting to be held thereto day. E. A. Ford, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines, who has been in the city tor a couple of days, left for Chicago last night. Austin Corbin, president, and several of the directors of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road are to come West, the latter part of this ween to look the property over. A. T. Banks, the gentlemanly and active traveling agent of the Continental line, on Nov. 13 takes as a partner for lire Miss Blanche Nickelson, one of Evansville, Ind .’s fairest daughters, J. J. Fletcher, general agent of the Indiana, Bloomington & Western road, at Peoria, 111., today leaves for an extended Western trip, to be absent several w eeks. Hie health is somewhat sh ottered. The remains of Henry W. Gwinner, president of the National Hallway Publication Company, who committed suici e in New York, on Friday last, were taken to Philadelphia for burial, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company furnishing a special train ou Sunday to convey the remains and the friends of the deceased from New York to Philadelphia. The funeral ceremonies at. the latter city were quite imposing, all the higher officials of the roads centering In Philadelphia attending the funeral. Among the pall-bearers were Charles E. Pugh, general manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company; Stephen Greene, director of the National Railway Publication Company; James McC. Creighton, late general freight agent of the Pennsylvania Radroad Company; J. N. Abbott, general passenger agent of the New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company.

Local Notes. Bt. Louis striking switchmen in consideninle numbers are calling at. the various yards at Indianapolis, Peoria and Cincinnati in search of work. Tlie Indianapolis Rolling-mill yesterday completed the contract to furnish 1,000 tons of rails to the Wabash road, and to-day commence on rails for the Danville, Olney & Ohio River road. General freight agents in this section have received notice to the effect that the cattle-yards of the Delaware. Lackawanna Sc Western railway, of East Buffalo, have just beeu opened for business. The several railroad officials who left for Chicago las:, nigut to attend the Chicago Sc Ohio river pool meeting were not m tho best of humor that General Manager Ri hardsou called tlie meeting at Chicago. 'lndianapolis is his headquarters, it is central for all roads comprising t lie pool, and is really the proper place to hold the meeting. Passenger men were considerably riled yesterday that J. 11. Martin on Tuesday secured twenty passengers for Greensboro, N. C., and cnarges that he gave a rebate of $1 per head, thus breaking the (moling agreement. The passenger men are off on this. One of the honest Quakers states that lie only gave them one free pass, aud the rest paid full fare, $20.45, Commencing with Sunday next, the express train which has been h aving luoianapolis for Cincinnati at 3:40 a. m. will not depart until 4s 15 A. M„ and. the.traiu which leaves Cincinnati for Indianapolis now at. 7:15 P. m. will depart from Cincinnati at 6:40 P. M. This change is made that connection can be made with the Vanda lia, these trains hauling the through sleeping coaches. J. H. Devereux, president of the Bee-line system, lias abandoned railroading for the time l>eing and is giving his attention to religious mutters, be being one of the Ohio delegates to the Episcopal convention now in session at Phllad lphi. Pa. Meantime the stock of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati fc Indianapolis road has advanced eight points, and should rightfully go to par before New Year’s daj*. W. C. Irwin, superintendent of bridges on the Bee-line system, is in the city. Within the lant few days he has given out contracts for firstclnss iron bridges on the Indianapolis Si St. Louis road: At Fern, the structure to be 275 feet long, in two spans. At Era bar's, one 300 feet long, in two spans, and a one-span bridge at Hillsboro 120 feet long, and work was begun yesterday on anew bridge at Avon, two spans, 100 feet each in length. The impression prevails that the Pennsylvania company is only awaiting a slight pretext to open their outside office for the sale of tickets, winch they may as well do, as it is believed that there is not a road centering here—unless it be the Bee-line—winch Is not selling tickets outside of tiie Union railway offices. Unless, at the meeting in Chicago, to-day, something is done in the matter, doubtless the Pennsylvania people, on Nov. 1, will commence the sale of tickets in their up-town office. E. B. Thomas, general manager of the Beeline system, is detained at home by a singular trouble. Prior to his going to the Chicago time convention lie had several of his teeth filled, which created inflammation in the upper gum, and when en route for Chicago an artery broke, and Mr. Thomas lost so much blood that it whs necessary for him to eton off at Toledo for treatment bv a physician, anil it really became a serious matter, and ha* since that confined him at home much of the time. Locomotive No. 463, now nearing completion at theC., St. L. Sc P. shops at this point, is the first engine built entire at these shops. It is of the Alto mi a pattern passenger engine, forty tons, five-foot drivers, cylinders 17x24. It is said to lie the finest finished and painted engine ever built in this State, aud promises to be a rapid and fine performing engine. To W. C. Arp, general foreman of the shops, is due this fine specimen of workmanship, Superintendent Miller having turned him loose to demonstrate his ability. The latest scheme of local passenger agents to circumvent agreements of the high joints is worked as follows: Mr. A, for instance, desires to go to 9t. Louis. A 1,000-mile ticket is sold him, <*n which he make* the round trip, when the. unused part of the ticket returned to the seller and he is refunded the amount iris worth. B. wants to go to Bt. Louis, or some point this side ou that road, and lie is sold the unused part of the same ticker, makes the trip, and returns the unused portion and gets the refund, and so on iiiuil the ticket is used up. Thus the passengers get. a reduction of about $5 below the cost of a first-class regular ticket. Certain shippers doing business on the local switches of tiio Indianapolis, -it. Louis Sc Chicago road complain tiiat the switchmen are dilatory in placing cars for loading, and that they suffer bv sueh delays financially. It is further charged that tho C., i., St. L. &C. switchmen have favor! ;es whom they first accommodate. Mr. Sullivan, tlie local agent, says lie lias never heard complaints of this character; should lie, the mutter would certainly be investigated. Mr. Hicks, the ynrdmoster, says no partiality is shown, but some, shippers have an idea tiiat whenever they want a car set an engine and train’s crew must at once be at their service. Tne company lias forty-eight private switches. His switching crews are on these switches once or twice, and sometimes three tunes, a day, and he thinks that service that often should be satisfactory to any reasonable business man. The Marriage lionin. Marriage licenses were issued yesterday to Luther T. Curd and Surah . Smith, Ernst A. Herr man and Mary Dietrichs, Frederick Kuorn and Minnie Rieiner, James N. Kitiey and Johanna L. Weber, David E. Raileback and Florence Crosley, Francis P. Bailey and Emma Oft, Frank Bowers and Sarah C. Perkins, Bion R. Stevens and Jessie Hubbard. I). H. Hughes and Anna M.

ENDOWMENT OF ASBURY. A Definite Arrangement Made by Which It Is To lie Consummated. The Formal Agreement. Between Mr, W. C. DePauw and tho Trustees—Terms and Conditions of the Proposed Gift. The trustees of Asbury University were in consultation with Mr. W. C. DePauw at Meridianstreet M. E. Church, yesterday, relative to the proposed endowment of the Institution, and, after fuiiy discussing the conditions of the gift, the matter was referred to a oommltteo to be put into definite and tangible form. The original conditions of Mr. DePauw’a proposed munificent gift were that if subscriptions to tho amount of $19*0,000 for the benefit of the college should be raised iu this State before the sth day of September, 1883, and the citizen* of Putnam county should give $60,000, lie would make a bequest to the university of $350,000. The required $150,000 was not raised within the time prescribed. The first report showed that the subscriptions had reached only a little more than $77,000. The time was then extended until the 4th of this mouth, and soliciting committees were appointed in each conference district in the State to make a final strenuous effort to raise the arnouut required. It was found at the end of that time that the subscriptions from all sources aggregated $131,000, leaving a deficiency of $19,000. Again the time was extended, but the benevolent resources of the friends of Asbury seemed to have been well near exhausted. Tho hope oi securing the endowment rested with the liberality of Mr. DePauw. New conditions were asked by tlie trustees and were granted by Mr. DePouw. Under these conditions Mr. DePauw proposes to make his gift to tlie institution at the rate which he first promised upon the amount of the subscription raised among the fnonds of tho institution in the State. It was estimated that the subscriptions which could be made available would aggregate $120,000, and therefore the gift of Mr. DePauw would be5240,000. Tlie committee to whom the matter was referred for putting it in form last night reported the following agreement between the trustees of the University and Mr. DePauw, which, in addition to its binding conditions, gives a very full statement of the work of raising tbe required subscriptions:

THE FORMAL AGREEMENT. “This agreement, between the trustees of the Indiana Asbury University, a body corporate, party of the first part, and Washington C. DePauw, party of the second part, witnesseth that “Whereas, On the 4th day of October, 1883, the follow ing propositions were made and submitted by said first party to the party of the second parr, to-wit: “First—That the committee hereinafter named be authorized aud instructed to take necessary steps to obtain a change of name from Indiana Asbury University to DePauw Udiversity, provided that all the trustees and visitors, except Mr. DePauw, sign the application for such a change. “Second—That. Mr. McKinn be invited to proceed with tlie erection and equipment of the observatory proposed by hint, “Third—That tho people of Greencastle and Putnam county shall pay to the University, by Jan. 1. 1885. with 7 per cent, interest from Jan. 1, 18S4, 864,000, to bo expended by the board in the purchase of ground and the erection of buildings for the University at Greencastle. “Fourth—That Dr. Manners be respectfully requested to relinquish his annuity of S4OO iu his last gift of *15,000 to the University. '’Fifth—Prov ided, That W.C. DePauw agrees to pay $2 for each sl, principal and interest, that may be paid to the treasurer of said university on tlie subscription this day reported to tbe board, aggregating $120,000, as per schedule made out by said treasurer. “Bixth—VVe recommend that a committee consisting of A. C. Downey, C. 0. Binkley, Granville C. Moore, William Newkirk and Clem. Stndebaker, be appointed to oompicte and carryout this programme as soon us tne written consent of Mr. DePaaw shall have been obtain <1; and whereas, the said subscriptions so reported to the said board of trustees by the said treasurer, are as rollows, to-wit: Cash received by treasurer to Oor. 24, 1883, $5,224.06; conditional notes iu treasurer’s hands, $8,271; absolute notes in treasurer’s hands, $19,807.50; matters embraced in estimates made Oct. 4, 1883. viz.: John R.

A. C. Downey, LL. P., Chairman of f’oinmittee of Trustees of ludiana Asbury University: “ ‘Dear Sir —1 nave your favor of the Bth Inst., and myself and family have gone over tho proposals of the board of trustees very carerully. The proposition to change the name now, to my mind, is of doubtful propriety. But. inasmuch as the entire tn>ard of trustees and visitors, backed by the 500 Methodist ministers of Indiana, as well as leading laymen, and all the bishops of the church that have spoken of the matter, are of one mind, and urge that the change be made, perhaps I ought not to resist. Therefore, I hereby give my written acceptance of the proposition of tiir board of trustees, formulated Oct. 4, and forwarded by you, as I understand them. Very respectfully yours, “ *W\ 0.

To avoid the possibility of (i misunderstanding, let me say that I mean when the name is legally changed; when the citizens of Putnam county have paid or satisfactory secured the payment of the $60,009 on tho Ist of January, 1885, with in revest at 7 per cent from rhe Ist d**y of January, 1884; when Brother McKinn gives a legal obligation to erect and equip an observatory according to his plans and ideas; when Dr. Manners has surrendered the right to annuity of himself and wife on the last $15,000 that he gave, then I will pay to the treasurer tiie sum of the Goodwin gift and the amount received in cash from Manners and on the Manners notes, ami from all other sources included in said treasurer'# schedule, which schedule aggregates about $120,000, ns made up per the trustees, on the 4tu day of October, and thereafter, about the 10. li day of July, and the lOih of January, iu each year l will pay said treasurer double anv sum that has been paid in cash in the preceding six months io said treasurer, on account of any of the subscriptions enumerated ami set out in the schedule aforesaid.

Holliday, President pro loin pore. “W. o. DePauw. “Attest: James C. Yohn. Secretary.” FURTHER PARTICULARS. With Mr. DePann’s gift of $240,000, together with the $120,000 raised by eubscripiioii, added to the $60,000 given by the citlzeus of Putnam *

county, the total amount of the fund which the j university will acquire will be $420,000. The j only thiug now necessary to the consummation of the agreement is for the citizens of Putnam county to raise the amount which is required from them, and this, it is understood, is already subscribed. Professor John Clark Ruipath stated to a Journal reporter, last night, tiiat lie was confident the money could he raised, and he had no fears that the university would now loao the gift. In addition to the gift of $240,000 Mr. DePauw has bequeathed tlie university a part of his estate. The exact amount, which will he realised is not known even by Mr. De Pauw himself. The assurance is given from a reliable source, however, that in makiug his will Mr. DePauw’s bequest to Asbury was fixed at 45 per cent, of a portion of ins estate, and it is estimated that rhe amount will probably be something near $1,500,000. Mr. De Panw was asked last night regarding the nature of the endowment of the university. “The will remains unchanged,” he replied. “Wuat is the amount!” was asked. “I do not know.” “Is it a per cent, of your estate!” “Yes, of a portion of the estate.” “And what is the amount of the per cent.!” “I would prefer to say nothing about that.” In a talk regarding tiie of the university William Newkirk, of Connersvtllo, one of tne trustees, last night stated to a Journal reporter that the amount which would probably be realized from Mr. DePauw’s munificence, would, as near as could be approximated, be something more than $1,000,00*1 and less than $2,000,0u0, depending upon the fluctuations in tlie value of property. A meeting of the board of trustees will be held at Greencastle on December 16, when the matter of collecting the Putnam county suoscriptions within the prescribed time will be ooiisidored.

On Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Mary Lamb, who lives on Jones street, swore out a warrant for the arrest of Patrick O’Maher, whom she accused of assaulting her with evil intentions. When Constable Frank Glass attempted to make the arrest, O’Maher drew a razor and resisted viciously. Glass was obliged to defend himself with his inace, and even then had a close call, hut in the melee O’Maher was very badly beateu up about the head, the punishment being sufficient to kill an ordinary man. After ail, it was necessary to get reinforcements before he conld lw brought iu. He could not be tried yesterday, as he was too badly hurt, aud it was determined to send him to the hospital. He acknowledged to a Journal reporter, who visited him yesterday, that he had refused to go with Glass, but. said he dirt not draw tlie razor until the constable had struck him with the club. No More Burials at flreenlaxrn. At a meeting of the undertakers of the city, held at Planner & Hommown’s last evening, it was resolved to bury uo more bodies in Greenlawn Cemetery. According to a recent decision of tbe Supreme Court the city is not responsible for the sexlou’s management of tne cemetery, and in two instances damages have been recovered from tbe undertakers where bodies were buried ou private lots. The sexton has never been furnished a plat of the cemetery, and knows nothiug regarding what lots have been sold for private use. The responsibility of the cemetery’s management therefore falls upon the undertakers, and as a measure of self-pro-tection they resolved to make uo more burials there. Seven of the leading undertakers signed the agreement, and It is claimed that all will. The result will probably be the dosing of the cemetery.

The Trades Assembly. A meeting of the Trades Assembly was held, yesterday afternoon, at Mozart Hall, and officers for the next year were elected, as follows: President, Casper C. Heddertck; vice-president. Ed. Schmidt; flnunoial secretary, John Bernhardt; recordiug secretary. Pat. McNeills, and treasurer, Gottfried Moninger. The report that tho assembly would resolvo to contest any order from the police authorities for closing tne Raloons on the day of the special election in the Fourth ward, on the ground that the law for closing has uo reference to such election days, was not supported by any action of the meeting. No resolutions touching upon the matter came up for consideration. Death of William Smith. William Smith, an old and highly respected citizen, died at liis home on East Ohio street, yesterday morning, of softening of the brain. He was born in Butler county, Ohio, in 1805, and removed to this city in 1826. He amassed a considerable, fortune in the clothing business, but retired many years ago.

DU. PIERSON, The Great Work He I* Doing in Bethany Church, Philadelphia. The following extract of a letter from a resident of this city recently In Philadelphia will be fouud to contain something of local interest: “Among the many commendable enterprises of which the good city of Philadelphia may boast is Bethany Mission, now called Bethany Presbyterian Church. So varied are its methods of work, and so inclusive of worthy objects, the old uame would be more appropriate, so it would 6eetn. Some years ago a particular locality of the city, so given over to vice and squalor as to be called the ‘Five Points,* attracted the attention and engaged the efforts of Philadelphia’s sterling Christian merchant, John Wanamaker. He was then a young man, bur he set on foot methods of reformation and Christian activity which rescued the place. To-day, iu addition to the large church edifice and connected buildings, are to be seen clean streets and aud many handsome residences. In fact, the locality will favorably compare with any other part of the city. The church building, an elegant stone structure of beautiful design and finish, has a seating capacity of 1,900. Connected with the church is a Sabbath-school structure of equal elegance, with a sealing capacity, in all of its departments, of 3.200. “On last Sunday I bad the pleasure of a visit to the Sabbath-school in tbo afternoon and tho church in tne evening. At the former I found present about 1,800, from the small child, scarcely old enough to be taught, to old age, and all eagerly engaged in Bible study. Up and down, round and round, among classes and departments could be seen Bethany’s faithful friend and tireless worker, John Wanamaker, in appearance not over thirty (reaily forty-two), but iu good, solid achievement an old soldier. Nothing escaped his watchful eye. At the evening service a bright, Intelligent-looking audience of near two thousand gave tlie pastor such attention as must have been, really was, an inspiration. In addition to Bethany's many methods of direct Cunstiaiiization may tm mentioned its college course. About five hundred young men and young women, for a very trifling fee, receive industrial and Scripture training. The entire course Is under a strong facility, of which tlie pastor of the church is president. Rev. Arthur T. Pierson, recently of Indianapolis, is the pastor, and when I felt the warm grasp of bis hand and I saw his happy face, I no longer questioned the wisdom which brought the man to the work and the work to the man. No matter how much criticism a candid Christian may feel inclined to offer on account, of the little church disturbance caused by the doctor at Indianapolis, it is quite apparent to one who visits his present field of labor that such criticism, every bit of it, should cease to be ottered. “The magnificent work tlie doctor is doing at Philadelphia, and his wondrous fitness tor such a place, as is there open to him should be occasion of rejoicing to ail Christian people. Tiiat he should persistently decline to he contented in a limited work is no longer a surprise to me. The peace of mind, and enthusiasm of heart which he manifests in his present place are of themselves enough to evoke the blessings of his many admirers."
