were taken away the ambulance from the small

general do their whole duty much suffering TO
the people might be averted In times OF distress
and hunger, such as we have had for the last two
years. And such as have occurred by the recent
panic In 81. Andrews church, an occasional SER
mon given TO the people on how they should con.
duct themselves Ia sudden emergencies OF that
kind. and OF other kinds such above alluded to,
would beget feeling OF steadiness anc confidence
so necessary, but so seldom taught or experienced
In time oil need. Plety prOpagaLed by the lear of
was pain ully too vsio,e IL the recent sad catas
poral life ana interests are SO closely connected
that Ii Is very important to always teach the
masses how to make their corporal desires SUBJ
servient to their spiritual requirements, and 10
impress upon their minds that 1t IL more manly
and even more God-like in such emergencies to
lose ourselves IN endeavOrlng to save neigh

interest. Yours respectfully, LABORER.
