all over the city As we have already given some
eloquent specimens from Mr.. Kirk, it is but justice
that we should extend our kindness to the Rev. Mr.

passages which have dropped frem his eloquent lips,
during the present week, at Mulberry street Taber-
nacle -
Look a-har my beloved brethern, l tell you that
money IS at the root of every eval-we see them wo-
men walking cur streets a cruising around arter who
they can katch and devoy-our young men should
show them they are dangerous both internally and
externally-they lead life of wretchedness and
what is Their eXcuse-thcy are making mony-we
people and I'm sorry to say many present selling
rum-pison rayther-a!l for money-O my brethren
Its VERY dangerous-cOme We what wants for to be
saved from the deepest valley in hell-come and JOIN
our standard -commence crusade against hell and
its inmates. Look-a-har my brethern-I once knew
aman--he was sportsman-he had his carriage and
horses dogs game kocks and every thing sports
wants-he was present at a place whar Ipreach-
ed-hc heard me-he felt religion getting into him
tho the devil tried hard to get possession of himhe
went home that ere night-thought over the subject
his eyes was opened-he joined our standard he

There is another thing carried ON and all for mo-
ney-that is a sellin our colored brcthern-taking
them from their homes and putting them in the hold
of that vessel and carryin them away and all
this is for money-why does the black devils in hell

souherner, left the church Knapp paused for a
while and then beloved out, "my brethren you can
tell stakeholder by his trot,' and then winked at
his next brother.
