had many followers. But he had
hardly u follower among the rich
| had rather seek the last. to whom
salvation may come, in these wretch
ed abodes, than in the marble rows
where the souls Of men are lost in
deeper pollution. True, the blood OF
Christ may cleanse the souls of the
rich, but | scarcely dare look about
for even one SO cleansed lest it be not
found--whilst the poor are with US
with souls white wool, washed in the

can but help 10 parching the wither-
ing spirit and enter ya the abo dcs
of the vicious poor, wnere every good
seed sown will take deep root and the
germs produce tall trees Of holiness
reaching to the heavens
He continues, "pass We not on the
other side of the avenue, but go right
in at the doors where sin is sold as
merchandise, and there eXpostulatt
as did Jesus with the money changers
