sessed Of fine feelings to humanity and also to the
unfortunate James Fisk, Jr., ask The community
al large Will they suffer the ministers OF our gospel
Churches to ascend their pulpts ana scandalize and
ndicule the sleeping dead that cannot speak for
himself, before q congregation. as was done last
sabbath. Rather let there be meeting called at
once TO suppress this kind OF preaching IN our sister
Churches, as II tends TO do more narm than good
with our young, Old and middle aged OF tne land. l
say II there Is one minister or Individual IN our
midst that IL perfect and without SIM let MN come
forward and cast the first stone. Christ SAID there
III none perfect, no. not one. Ana now my sincere
advice TO the Churches, the ministers OF the Gospel
and the community at large, is TO let the dead rest
James FISK, Jr,, the deceased, mas gone TO Just
God; one tnat Is only able Judge; the Judge OF al
the earth, and II Is God that able to change the
heart or man IN the twinkiing OF an eye, Let the
ministers OF the different Churches read and renect
ON this grand SUBJECT and rather let them pray lot
the reDose OF the soul the dead Colonel Fisk: that
he may find rest aud peace Tor his soul with his God
In that bright world above, IN that haven or eternal
rest that Is 0ev0nd tine skies, where all malice SIN
and sorrow Is done away with and Christ Is ALL and
IN all Amen.
