made, TO turn them from the holy COM
mandments. So far, these efforts have
proved fruitless; but sometimes the tempt
alton becomes most powerful. Our brelh-
rem have frequently been dismissed by
their employers, on account of their re-
fusing to work on the Sabbath; and as it

least part of that sacred day, our breth-
rem are often exposed to want on this ac-
count. During the summer, they can al.
ways find work, but during the winter,
they are often exposed TO great distress
Through the kindness of some of our
brethren in Scotland and England, [ was
enabled 10 alleviate their sufferings lit
tie last winter. But the Lord is good
and will not allow them to be tempted
above what they are able to bear.
