Ii. B. Pope. Wltliin five minutes after the doors were opened every seat in theehurch was crowded, aud before the service began more hadgoneaway unable to enter than were already inside. Perhapp a third of tlie audience were comjiclled to stand, yet for two lioursthey held their places In silenne and respect; The speaker, notwithstandisg a hoarsencss, bronght on by exposure, lnunched ont freely agair.st tlie niany indiscreet metboda adopted by the temperance workers. and boldly arraigned the prevalling crime of liceutiousiiess. Conway was fully shown up, as were some of bis supporters, and take it withall its attending circumstances, the occasion was one of rare interest.
