who collect on the corners Of our streets, will

fearful progress, and II we continue in present
modes Of thoughts land speech, sad lessons of shame
and defeat, Of disorders and troubles, will teach
us that righteousness exalteth nation, but that
sin IL disgrace to any people,; will teach us that
IL 10 written on the everlasting rock Of Gods pur-
poses that he will not bestow his blessing on the
men or people that take his name in vain.
