leaves were missing. But the remain
DER he says, gave me such turn Of
thinking as to have an influence all my

on the character ofa doer of good than
any other kind of reputation; and if

There are single sentences In the
New Testament that have awakened to

his fortune, and came home after many
years absence a rich man, and gave
great sums to all his relations. From
