terrogation, "Ye did run well. Who did
hinder you that you should not obey the
TRUTH" The foregoing quotation from the
best OF al! books, wildly portrays that the
Ga attain brethren did run well for a season,

stray from the path of rectitude. Why is
il that when we are engaged in a good
work we will yield to opposition and
hinderance so readily, and when we are
engaged in some work not SO good. we
Will labor hard TO meet our ends, and over

Yes; its principles will cover all of.the

something for them, spend hard earned
money for drink and gradually bring their
poor old fathers and mothers TO the grave.
