NOW, our people exhibit sufficient CT

that he whose ueighhor should happen
to call Hcar meal time, would by no
means neglect tho courtesy Of Inviting

take his uelghbor travelling on foot IN
the same direction, would by no means
pass him hy without asking Lin to ride.

lay aside all ciyility on the Sabbath,
