V V j/ liiwii VI * V ■ Viu 9 A li T v J V(UU|Tub Lay-preacuino Movement.—Wc have, from time to time, referred to the remarkable movement among the upper classes in Scotland. The Stirling Observer has an article in reference to Mr. Gordon Forjong, who has just visited that town: “He preached first in the Baptist chapel, which was well filled; his second service was in the Congregational chapel, which was quite filled; his third was in the Free South Church; and his last address was delivered in St. John-street United Presbyterian Church. An Episcopalian, as is Mr. Forlong, he has no chance of being permitted to preach in churches belonging to his own denomination without ‘taking orders,’ which wonld spoil his mission as a layman; but there is no such obstacle in the way of his preaching in other churches. It is, however, satisfactory to observe that, on the present occasion, he has spread his evangelising efforts over as many as four denominations. Mr. Forlong’s preaching is characterised by vigorousness, freshness, directness, and originality. He must be seen and heard before one can have an idea of his fervent manner, his powerful utterance, and his forcible style”m ___mi -r •w* m —
