BEAUTIFUL ALLEaoRY Mr.. Critten-
den was engaged in defending . man
who had been indicted for . capital
oHense. After an elaborate and power
full argument, he closed his effort BY the
following striking and beautiful allie
CORY:
When God, in his eternal council,
conceived the thought Of mans creation,
he called to him the three ministers
who wait constantly on the throne
Justice, Truth and Msrey-and thus ad-
dressed them: "Shsll we make man 2"
Then said Justice: 80 God, make him
not, for he will trampls upon thy laws"
Truth made answer, also: 80 God,
make him not, for he will pollute thy
sanctuaries." But Mercy, dropping
upon her knees, and looking up through
her tears, exclaimed 10 my God,
make him-I will watch owe him with
all my care, through the dark path,
which he may have to travel n Then
God made man, and said to him : 30
