To such, | would say -whltever
may be your private views aud
feelings with regard to indivliutIs
OF our profes siou, or however lsti
fed you may be in still retaining
feelings Of resentment, in the name
of the cause you profess to sus-
tain, let not such views aud feelings
iuhIence you to stand aside AMI
look idly upon tho ehJrts of u few
to promote that cause-but dismiss
all private matters for the public
good. Tue good book tells Us that we
mast love our enemies, and pray for
those who disptefully use rs. and
ii you belong to th.t c ass OF persons
who cannot do this or who cannot
turn the left cheek to be smitteu,
after the right has received u blow,
you can certainly, without comprom-
,.ins your private feelings, your
opinious, or your dignity, enieavOr
to pursue cause which has been
presented to man for his couslders-
ton, none OF US are in any respect
tho equal Of the Creator of the dui-
verse,-nor have any of US enemies
50 vile, 50 deceitful, or so detestable
and repulsive in every feature, as
the enemy of Deity, the arch tieud,
Satan aud yet We are informed that
at certain period. when the sons
of God met together, Satan also
came among them, and held con-
vearse with the Deity himself. Ii
contact with such an enemy was
no disgrace, no dishonor to Deity,
man certainly can neither be dis
graced nor dishonored by contact
with any human enemies whatever,
and more especially when such prox-
unity is not for private, but for pub
lie good, you are merely requested
to take an interest, an active inter-
est in the cause you profess TO up
hold, and to devote only small
portion of your time in its behalf
u portion Of time that cannot pos,
sibly inhict any great pecuniary
loss upon you, bat that well be Of
immense advantage to your future
lives this must DO done and can
