The events connected with the NEWS were not all.
People were eagerly talking about strange things done during the week by Alexander Powers at the railroad shops, and Milton Wright in his stores on the avenue.

The service progressed upon a distinct wave of excitement in the pews.

Henry Maxwell faced it all with a calmness which indicated a strength and purpose more than usual.

His prayers were very helpful.

His sermon was not so easy to describe.
How would a minister be apt to preach to his people if he came before them after an entire week of eager asking, "How would Jesus preach?
What would He probably say ?" It is very certain that he did not preach as he had done two Sundays before.
