morals must also have on their conduct.

woman should ever sit down conten,ed

it would give her pain, as Christian, to
attend such places, and will not go my

was mutual understanding between him
and her, that they should each follow the
bent OF their own inclinations IN such
matters.

Mr.. Houston, "but with me it is differ
