What chiefly caused my scepticism on
the subject was the fact that Mr. J'nrtoii,

fate of the daughter enveloped in myste

beautiful life with her embarkation on

how Mr. l'liiton could have failed, among
his extensive and industrious, researches,

may be entertained of the father, Ihe me

Presbyterian ministers of the Free Cli
eh
and United Pi e.-by tei ian Church, and one
of the established clergy, admitted him
! to their pulpits ; and the ministers of all
the churches received from the example
', of this good man a lesson on tho impor-
. tanee of earnest preaching. Many inqui
rers who had been awakened by the ad
dresses of Mi'. North vi-ited and eoiiw rs-
' cd w ith him during the week. Ilis isit,
there is reason to believe, was productive,
of much spiritual food. This gentleman
a few years ago was a terrible reprobate.
, He had a shooting lodge in the Highlands
1 where, lio indulged in very loose and pro
fligate practices. After his conversion, he
j devoted his labors as a christian man ex
clusively to those districts where he had
formerly rendered himself most notorious
and obnoxious by his profligacy. In hi- op
pressions of self reproach, which of course
i must be taken with considerable limita
tion, he has repeatedly declared that ho
had been guilty of all the sins in the deca
logue except murder. Mr. North is no
fanatic, lie is a calm-minded man, tho
roughly imbued with Christian principle,1
and profoundly impressed with a sense, of
the duty laid upon him of making known
the great salvation. No preaching since
the days of Whitfield, has produced such
a powerful otl'eet upon the popular mind
as this remai kable man's addresses; and
their power lies not in their logical struc
' ture, butjn their earnestness. .
