Public opinion Is being corr

everywhere can be found per-
sons who are known to- favor
it, who are wiling to give The

Would it have beenlthe duty
of teacher of righieousnes 8,
in the time of Pharaoh, to have
spoken publicly against the
Staying Of the Hebrew male
chlldreti2' Then why not the
duty Of the minister of the
gospel now TO preach against
a more refined and sly cons
milment of the same crime2--
Why not his duty to hold up
to seom the public opinion
that will wink at the taking of
a child's life by its own mothes,
as well as lhe taklDg,ol it by
the order Of n wicked king2--
Why not protest and warn his
fellow men against the crime

Christian physicians, and,
those too who do not make a,
confession, OF religion, are
greatly troubled at the matter.
They wonder why the rulpit
does not speak out, They can,
no. reveal professional secrets.
The laws Of the land can do
very little for it2rarely could
evidence be fnund to convict
the guilty parHesi and public,
sentiment would not, perhaps,
enforce the law. But Gods
law covering the unlawful tax.

licenliousness-a killing which
