He stood in his carriage and bowed to them for a little time. Then they respectfully opened a way for him tothe church. An address of welcome delivered by a coal-black negro. the President says, was one of the most striking examples of oratory he ever heard, and after his reply, when the congreation sang My Country ‘Tis of Thee, he says he was almost lifted off his feet by the fervor of the voices. 2Oe Priest Elected a Pythian Knight.
