Messrs Gould s. Banks, In depryiDg them OF light and
air We do not believe that the providence OF God has
instructed this Society TO shut out the necessary hg
and wholesome air Of Heaven from their neghoors
nor do we believe that the providence OF God has had
any direct influence in the erection Of steam boiler
ready for explosion and the destruction OF human NE
among the inmates OF the store OF Messrs could s
