ABSTRACT
The Chairman: Ladies and Gentlemen,—I have been dragged from my rustic seclusion in the month of September, and, worse than that, I have been compelled—and here I hope Mr. Price will sympathize with me—to break the Sabbath in order to preside at this meeting to-night. Why I have been asked to preside no one has informed me. What either of the speakers is going to say neither of them has told me, although I have been in their company for the last ten minutes. It was thought, no doubt, that I was open to conversion; and I will, at any rate, make this promise— that if I am converted to-night to the views which Mr. Price is going to expound I shall be willing to say so at the end of the discussion.
