Mr.. MONITOR That was splendid
account you gave of the meeting of the
Parsons, to organize school.
Considering the temper of the par
sons two things suggest themselves:
That the Pastors keep we'll apart and
preach and talk in their respective
churches.
That a high school be encouraged to
the end that future pastors will not so
exhibit themselves. Yours truly
SMITH
It is perhaps due to the clergymen
who took leading part in the above
meeting referred to above, that they
acted by request of several gentlemen
some of whom propose to subscribe
largely. ED. MONITOR.
