An Honest Rebuke.
His voice like thunder will support our cause
Enforce our dictates and sustain His law.
All, rich in truth, His sanction will dismay.
And bid the liars tremble and obey,

His voice like thunder will support our cause,
All, rich in truth His sanction will dismay
And bid the liars tremble and obey
The false ones we have reference to here, ar,
those whose hearts have rebelled against thei
| reason and who have raised SANDER on our neigh
bors and friends in order to get supposed deadly
thrust at us. For eleven years and more we have
| trampled under foot criminal falsehood in order
to foil the attempts of satan, now we are required
to bring to the front the truth We have in oul

Now Mr.. Editor, how can those false ones be
gathered? Miss Sarah Banes said Janette told
her; Janette said Sarah Banes talked and that she
has heard fifty tell it; Martha Ellen said John
told Sam Bell and Green said he forgot who told
him. one refused to tell he said because woman
told him; afterwards told woman John Banes
told him. O, their name is legion, and the arrows
stick fast in some OF them who told us insultngly
to clear up characters, have come to find our
characters are irreproachable, for the truth has
out run them. Would God every mothers child
may be warned not to associate his or herseltwith
others evil communication. Those who have
not heard this renewed calumny need not in
quire, no difference what Lodge they belong to-
as we do not wish to stimulate notoriety but
rather check evil circulation. Nor do we wish to
insult any ones friends for we all have relations
Yet the wise extending their inquiries wide,
See how both parties are by connection tied;
Fools view but part, and not the whole survey
So crowd existence all into day.
And now we leave this lowland frost and travel
to the upland breeze. May God grant all true
repentance unto life, without which no man can
see or be happy as
HANNAH JANE MORRISON, and
MARGARET LURENA MORRISON.
