although they have long since been perfectly
secured, he does no, now justify II. The EN-
batrassments here referred 10 were followed
by a long and well nigh fatal sickness, which,
thdla ing him from business which he had
carried on alone. was nearly instrumental in
the entire failure of his pecuniary affairs. The
perplexiiy arising from this failure, with the
protracted infrmiIy which followed his sick
ness, made him liable TO many errors and mis-
takes which might easily bear appearances OF
intentional misrepresentation.
"In connection with the assignment of his
property, he set his name and oath to an in
vcntory oil his goods, and also to a list of his
debts, which he believed to lie correct-an
act which he grieves to find has given rise to
an impression in the minds of some that he ex-
hibited an insensibiliry to the awful sanctiy OF
the oath ola Christian ran. But while he la

otherwise. and under the strong excitement of
the moment. he penned a pamphlet. part of

in which in regard 10 these brethren he deeply
regrets.
"In reference 10 his Indebtedness. he now re-
