      Presbyterian Meeting-House at Evesham , Worcestershire , after being shut up for two months , in order to add a gallery , and to alter and improve the whole of the interior . The minister , Mr . Davis , preached on the occasion to a full

The venerable R&ctcir is represented in the act of instructing a most interesting groupe of cl ^ idrfcri , who are accompanied by their

      parents and grandsire , to signify the three generations who have attended Mr . Glowes' ministry .

Clowes is the principal writer , ' 6 f iftiejireseiit day , on behalf 6 t the dottrined 6 i 'S wedenborgli . " ' " ' ' ' •¦' ¦ , 1 ; '/^ - " ; ' '
