the same person, 10y whom they were educa-
ted in the principles OF Deism. Their guar
dian diving when they were still young, they
fell into Indifferent hands. The persons on
whom the care OF them NOW devolyed appear
TO have used every possible euuelFOr 70 Grad

imbibed and to persuade them to embrace
revealed religion ln some form or other. But
these endeavgTs were all Iu vain The AZ
guUputS OF their friends were insufficient 70
former faith, or rather their former scepti-
ciSm. But, though they were now separated
from each other their friendship remained
unalteTable, and they continued to regard
each other with q sincere and fGaterual, OF
rather COusiniy, affection. After some years
had elapsed, and they We're both grown mp,
they made a solemn promise to each other
that whichever should die first would (it per
mitted) appear to the other, in order To de-
clare To linn or her what religion was most
acceptable to the Supreme Being. Nicola
