into a state of extreme perplexity. The Judge,
in kindness, thought he would interfere, and
putsome plain questions for an Meters re-

all times offending their God. Imagine ourselves
Offering these unto our dearest friends. Would we
do s0Y NO. There are many whose religion h

and that in proportion to his trials and temptations
