Jesus taught humility as a cardinal
virtue, and especially enjoined it up
on his proclaimers or preachers and
anostolic missionaries. His act Of rid
ing into Jerusalem upon an ass was
considered degrading the ass was
equally despised by Jew and Roman.
Jesus vas often found disputing with
LAWYERS and doctors-thatis, discuss
ing doctrines with the Jewish priests
and scribes. Himself Jew he often
met with his Jewish friends and
doubtless prayed with them. He

and at other divers times he made the

lepers to rise, and run, &c. At tenn

well drunk. These things took place
publicly and the poor were chiefly his
objects of charitable aid. He often
told the rich that there was almost a
gulf between him and them, and in
every attempt at their salvation, { as
in the case of Annanias and Sapphira,)

not the prophets, (clergy,) whose
place and business it is to practice
the sublime ways of Jesus? And are
they not humble and charitable and

We answer, very well, but there
are some things the prophets neglect
to practice and proclaim, and these
are the things left for editors to ham
die.
Our subject is bigotry. The other

gyman. saw fit to preach Jesus in an
Old School Presbyterian Church. He
saw nothing wrong in Though the
act was unholy-according to the reg

to light up the by-ways.
Another case in point: The other

on one who contends for the forms
above the spirit, was invited but de-

show the utter impracticableness of

as there are so many churches framed
by their laws to reject him and all his
