He is to-day one of the most elegantof natural orators, and while his thoughts are lofty and noble, yet they are ex- pressed ih such simple laaguage, that it is understood by both age and infancy this popular orator, the “Pope Bob” of the pulpit, speaks so much in so few words that all who have heard of him desire to bear him.
