Those who heard Rev. Mr. Koehne at the Congregational church last Friday evening ecjoyed one of the finest treats of eloquence, theological and historical research and dramatic representation it bas ever been their lot to listen to. Possessed of a gracious stage presence, a full aud well directed voice, he poured forth his matchless eloquence to the de- light of every listener. He swung his rhetorical pick with such astonishing vigor that the nuggets of thought which he uncovered were in immedlate dauger of being obscured hy others of even more lustrous brilliancy.

Pages of history he condensed iuto a succession of sentences remarkable for their research and depth of thought. Facts through ages of time fell from his lips with historical accuracy and beauty. Why Buddha failed, wberein lay the weakness of Confucius, why the Greek religioo lacked the divine principle of perpetuity were shown in a manner that all might understand. No dry theologi- cal discussion, no musty historical facts were given to weary the listener. In-
