A Chapter Of Mistakes.

1t is mistake to suppose that person
are thirsting after the knowledge OF the
truth of God, when they have money at
interest, and refuse to patronize a reli-
gious paper.
1t is mistake to suppose that learning
or talent will supply the place of vitalp-
ETY..
1t is mistake in the devotcs of lpridc'
and self eonceit, to suppose that their
tcostly array" and lofty bearing will
command the respect of a sober, thinking
community. aise
It is mistake in the worshippers of
mammon to suppose that they can drag
themselves to heaven with the world OH
their backs.
1t is a mistake to suppose that We can.
please God and all men.
1t is mistake to suppose that If We
do not take care OF our own characters
our neighbors will do it for US.
1t is mistake in the enyous, to sup
pose. they can build themselves up by pull
ling others down.
1t is a mistake in contributors, to suP-
