Of the Chronicle will allow me to ask him
if he ever thought Of the inconsistency OF
protesting christians in Georgia withhold
ing the Bible and intelligence from a large
class of their own population, while they

Editor of the Chronicle should know that il
is one thing TO confess and proclaim the sin

is another thing, altogether, to show and
make out that they ought TO be lei alone in
their evil doings, unwarned of their guilt.
