CHRIST,S FIRST SERMON.

" The spirit of the Lord hath sent me TO heal
the broken-hearted, to preach deliveranceto the
captives, and the recovering of sight TO the
blind to set at liberty them that are bruised =
To preach the acceptable gear Of the Lord -
Luke 4: Is, 10.
This scripture is from Isaiah, 40, l. 1t ap-

preach the acceptable year of the Lord. The
year that freed the bruised; that liberated the

Slavery-this infamous system though high
ly esteemed by Copperheads and Butternuts, is
an abomnation the sight OF God. 1t is always

the pen Of Josh Billings, who, to use one of his
own expressions, is "limberH at giving advice;
