He will sometimes make himself look
mean for the sake OF lew GEMS, where
but few will know it. Al other times
i (when he is in large oompanies) he will
appear very liberal sometimes for good
pur oses, and sometimes for bad purpo-
SEES; such as buying ardent spirits for
dramkrinkers, or at least for men that
have 20 need OF them. And though he
must attach himself 10 some body OF
christians, and be called by some name !;
yet be dsspIses names; and most cordi-
ally embraces every thing that puts on
any form Of religion, not with design to
make them better (ior this he never tries
TO do but to convince them that he is a
VERY clever iellow, and free from those
narrow, blggoed views that many pos
sess. When ,e is in any very religious
company, he puts on long face, and a
sanctlhed couneDance but when he is
in company O wicked persons, he ap.

may see him hugh and wink at the
lotteries OF dunkard, or the jes,s,

This man will nc well thought Of.
You will hear him praised, for one of
shc best men in tbe country; ali say
they, his man is ptaceaole, he attends
10 his Own business if here is any reli-
gious man in The wprld he is the man.
Now there is not devil in your land
but might know tik true character of
this man. When ydu find such an one,
labor TO have bin we'll thought OF, fer
this win give people false views Of reli.
gion, and cause them (f they must be
relisious) 10 be content with something
short OF it. In this way you may also
{, procure The disgrace of good men who
are actively employed in the enemy's
service. | say good men, not because
love goodness, or the men whom | so
cal: but for the sake of distinction. And
that You may be the better allie 10 recog-
nizc The character above described,
will give you that OF good man, be-
lieylng thai you will act towards him as
aHave directed
! A good man IS doer of Good, he viii
be constantly trying to do yomethiug for
the benefit OF others be is not always
aching as II his own nteresl were the only
thug IN The world tbat is wor h attending
to. He is "a man who really loves his
neighbors, aud is uniformly doing whale
yer he can, 10 promote the best interest
OF his feiow men. He is no, only doing
what he can TO promote the benevolent
insli's,ions already in existence, but &c
is trying TO search out, and find new
ways and plans OF being useful He is
never IN his clement, only when he is
engaged III the execution of some bene-
VIOLENT project. Watch him in compa-
ny, he is not trying TO make himself APP
pear great, but he is laboring to inAu-
suoe the minds OF those ap,su, nim to De
useful, TO do whatever they can TO sub
vert our kingdom in the world; and to
make their friends and neigbbors happy.
Watch him when alone, you vii. see
him frequently praying both for himself
and Others. And though this man is
also polite and soc;abIe, and willing to
praise goodness wherever he finds il +;
yet in all this, the main thing with hi,n
is to glori!y God, and do good TO men.
This man Is truly wise. But do mosl
exceedingly hate all such men, because
they ere heart enemies to me and rny
Kingdom, And you my sen must be
careful to whisper into the ears of many,
that his kind of people are dis,urbers
of the repose and happiness OF the world,
that they are busy bodies, meding them
selves with that which does not concern
them. Time lurbits me 10 say more al
present. In my next win continue the
subject, and give you description o!
several other characters.
