ciety-imagine me having that class of men
before me, and then imagine me talking to

But, | repeat, is it not amazing under the
circumstances of the case-the enemies l am
fighting, the burdens | am bearing-that a
brother minister should anticipate and at
tempt to PREJUDICE the decisions of Court by
declaring me guilty? Will you join with my
enemies? am not afraid to meet all the
world. l can meet the Supervisors 1 can
meet the Courts | can meet the lawyers and
the assassins who skulk behind every corner
in my pathway. / am not afraid of them

sympathy If this assault had come from an
enemy l could have borne it. But it was
that OF mine friend and mine acquaintance.
