OF tWenty-sX years, accidentally killed Nhlle
i'm n secular employment. lie had intended 70

taken away. We would not reflect on the
dead, but t is hard 10 understand how young
men with proper conceptions of the demands Oi
the ministerial Office can marry before their
preparatory studies are completed. Many
young man, if he had been willing, tor tho
sake OF a successful ministry, to deter mar
ragc, and to provide himself q hrst-cla-s

ignobe failure, and much of pryauon and
