That gentleman now held a pastorate in Australia. He was followed by Air. Leigh, Mr. J. B. Davies, and then Mr. Anthony. Mr. Lewis, their present pastor, really came to Providence as a substitute, but was liked so well that the church decided to give him a call.— The Rev. R. E. Salmon. Porth, then read out three questions to the rev. gentleman to be ordairc-d.-Thc- Rev. Anthony Lewis gave satisfactory replies, and a continu- ation of the call was taken by a show of hands.—Mr..Lewis was invited to con- firm his acceptance in a similar way, and immediately did so. The Rev. J. M. Jones, M.A., Aberdare, offered the ordin- ation prayer.—Prof. D. E. Jones gave a short resume of Air. Lewis's life, and made eulogistic references to his studies at Carmarthen. He commended him to the congregation of Providence. The Rev. Caradoc Owen was particularly pleased to hear the high testimony of the Professor to Mr. Lewis. At most of the important events of his life he (the speaker) had been present. He was at his wedding, for he married him. That day was however the most eventful day of his life, the d<f of his ordination to a Christian Church. The speaker con- cluded an eloquent ordination address by urging the young minister to preach Christ and Him crucified. The Rev. D. Jeremy Jones closed the meeting.
