most swearing nned. These brethren | notice
always OPEN their violent meetings with

saying race before meat. They have a moral

This trouble throughout Christendon
was directly inspired by Satan. He saw
that too much good was being done. Re
cr'lits We're beng gathered by hundreds Of
thousands to the. 2tiospel standard. The
victories for God aud the truth were too
near together. Too many churche, were
being dedicated Too many ministers We're
being ordained, Too many phllantlr6uits
were being fosterel. Too many souls ware
being saved. 1t had been a dull time in the
neither world, and the arrivals were too few.
