II beseech you all to live in habitual content
ment with moderate ecircun1stances and gains of
worldly store aud earnestly teach this TO your
cnloren ano cniidren's children after you by
example as Well as precept Be determined to
KNOW by experience as soon as may be whe rher
Bible instruction is Of divine origin or not. Re
sure to owe no man anything, but to love one
ano,ner. Jonn hogers wrote to his children,
bhor that arrant whore of Rome,p Toh r,
Brown writes to his children to abhor with
undying hatred also, that sum of all yilianies .
slavery Remember, he that is slow to anger
is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth
in spirit than he that taketh a city. Remem.
Der, also, that they, being wise, shall shine,
and they that turn many to righteousness as
the stars for ever and ever.
"And now, dearly beloved family, to God and
the work OF His Grace commend you ALL
Your affectiona,e husband and father,
