which came in sleeps clothing,
but inwardly they were ravenous
wolves," that the good Master
warned his disciples, that they
should not be deceived; for some
shall come with "strong delu-
sions," and soft words, who shall,
as it were, deceive the very elect.
But "strive ye," the good Master
said, "to enter in at the straight
gate And as the good Master
warned his disciples, against
wolvesand false prophets, whenHe
was here among men; so would
He warn the people of Fulton
county when He W ould have seen

And as the disciples needed the
warning of the Master, so let us
