"And so these two reviyals are rushing on, side by

have shown no such monster, though there were
giants of pety, well as OF muscles and bones in
those days. The church and ministry that can, with
out stumbling, carry away such load, outdoes en-.
tirely the achievements Of all the Samsons of abuses
in the modern age, with not merely the brazen gates,
but the whole walls of Infinite abominations, upon
their shoulders. We are reminded OF the capacity OF
that extraordinary witness in regard to lager beer,
who could take forty pns before dinner and not feel
it. The conclusion was inevitable. II man Or woman
could take forty pnts of lager beer without any token
of into1icstOD, either lager beer is very weak and
harmless, or that persons head and stomach must be
very strong. And just So if the Church and ministry
can, without staggering, swallow the abominaon OF
Slavery, and its enforcement in the name of God,
Slavery must be very innocent aud harmless thing.
