l now appear here to expound the Scrip
lures aud pint out the narrer way which
leads from vain world . Ju-ooSslem,
and my text which shall choose for the
occasion is in the leds of the bible, some
where between the second chronikils and
the hast chapter of Timothy Titus, and
when you find it, you viii fnd it in these
words t.
And they shall kuaw ille and flee
unto the mountains Of hcps;dau, where
the lion roarelh and the wang-doodle
mourneth for its first born"

; Ny beloved brethering, the text says
they shall "knaw file" 1t don't say
} they may, they shall. And now thel'z
f MORN one kind O file. There's The hand
: saw file, rat-tail file, double file and pro-
e file; but the kind of file spoken OF here
isn't one of them neither, for it is fgger
: of speech, my brethering, and means goin'

:. And my brethering. there's more dam
e than Hepsidam, there's Rotterdam, Am
sterdam, Haddam, milldam and don't-car
a-dam-the last of which, my dear breath
ering, is the worst of all, and reminds m
