Tliis matees lilni at all linies happy in extempore speaUintr. He is fearltss in denoiinciiifi wrong and fnuuls, tliereby having Often done good service to thecoinmunity hy clearing it of rascáis. His niemory bas been so coltared that he can without heaitution quote hundreds of passages in the Scrlptures and at once turn to them, retnem bering even the column and place 'f the passage.
