cred from his recent sickness as to expect to

the laity expects of the ministry in the year
to come. Wouldn't it be well If the former
knew just what the latter has the right to
expect of them in the same time as CO.
workers? Are not laymen too apt to think
of ministers as digits, and themselves as
ciphers? But, allowing it to be true, what
! better illustration of their Importance as
ciphers than the old one, that every one
that places himself on the right side (mind
the side) of the minister multiplies his
power ten-foldl And, as in mathematics,
the converse is true, cannot a layman on the
other side bleed him down ten-fod?
