" This was a word in season, and, next to the divine oracles, of the highest authority with Mr. C. He began to reason with himself thus : " What would he have me to do ? He certainly means that I should not for- get the Latin and Greek which I have learned : but then he ranks were attracted by his fame to hear him ; and when he ascended the pulpit, seeing bishops, and ecclesiastics, and nobles, and many of the most exalted and wealthy personages in the realm, all thronging to hear him ; he thus... began : " A la vue d'un auditoire si nouveau pour moi, il semble, mes freres, que je ne devrois ouvrir la bouche que pour vous demander grace, en faveur d'un pauvre missionnaire depourvu de tous les talens que vous exigez quand on vient vous parler de votre salut. J'eprouve cependant aujourd'hui un sentiment bien different ; et si je suis humilie, gardez- vous de croire que je m'abaisse aux miserables inquietudes de la va- nite, comme si j'etois accoutume a me precher moi-meme.
