/ Text for Mr.. Fulton's address was
taken from the twelfth chapter of
Mathew and more especially the
eleventh and twelfth verses:
and he said unto them, what man
shall there be among you. that shall
have one sheep, anu If it fall into pit
on the Sabbath day, will he not lay
/ hold on It, and lift it OUT"
How much then is man better
than Sheep Wherefore it is lawful to
do well on the Sabbath days

at men and BOYS at different angles
and from different sides and men look
at the association in the same way.
To some the association looks inviting

Niagara and great water mower de-

Another great proof of the value OF a
man is the worth of the ruins of a

enemies by thinking themselves wise
and therefore becoming as fools. The
+ greatness Of man is proved By the
ruins Of his soul
