Now, in these modern, and, as VIC
are grave|y told, progressive days,
We would calmly ask where such
real greatness can be found as would
enable a man, against family and
personal interest, to espouse the
cause OF justice suffering under evil
dent Remuneration, even though that
cause, is in its success, should mill
tate against himself or lis fasa;ly
consequence? We are forced to
own we know few such.
Christianity is u heavenly revela-
ton. Its Intrinsic excellence has

contempt.
But we were talking Of partiality.
