His place was filled by a Mr. Turner, of Pennsylvania, whose very appearance was a sermón in favor of reporm. The meeting of the series was held on Sunday evening, in University Hall, when over 3,000 persons listened to R. E. Frazer, Esq., who made one ot his best speeches in behalf of the cause he has so calously espoused. The meetings have resulted in an accession to the membership of about 600.
