      New Meeting , Birmingham , delivered a discourse on John i . 45 , 46 . After a few introductory observations on the interesting interview between Philip and Nathanael , recorded in this passage , the preacher proceeded to make the conduct of these individuals the groundwork of some judicious and pertinent remarks ou the examination and
