"Some time ago, I entered a small place of worship in which a man was delivering an address, or, as he called it, a testimonial. "He said that when he had been converted, he had felt a heavenly ray of light flooding his very soul. He said he felt as if an electric battery had come in contact with his entrails.

The tomato-houses, which have recently been increased at a capital cost of about £1,000, produce many tons of tomatoes, and the French garden is excellent of its kind.
