This visit was Of advantage. further, from
the confirmation which he afforded of the truth

hard for Scottish Christians to believe that
such a leprosy could be suffered TO infect even
the nominal Church of Christ. At least. it
was hard before the Delegates Of the Free
Church carried home the infection and inocu-

now they have seen a specimen Of the holy
men themselves, with whom the Free Church
delights to fraternize; and whose deeds and

thanks Of the friends Of the slave everywhere,
for the r~esoluto and perseverlng manner in

at the last accounts, he was holding him at

ever shown themselves, even 10 the end.-Q.
