somewhat reluctantlyj I confess an account of my interview with him As he pretended to discover and promptly declared to me that I was worthy of no trust 1 can cer tainly betray no confidence in this case try as I may The facts as they lie fresh in my memory are simply these Yesterday afternoon in company with a friend I entered the house of this strange man intending to trespass but a few minutes on his hospitality I expected to have seen a person of some dignity and reserve and with at least an out side of austere pfety The prophet was ssleep in his rocking chair wncn we entered His wife and

so strong an opposition that it was either down or be knocked We beat him offt least and are determined to have no grog shops in or about our The conversation1 flowed on pleasantly until my friend to

for the scriptures say shall see eye to All who aro true men must read the Bible alike must they not A Mr Smith and yet I doubt if they will see it precisely alike If no two blades of grass are precisely alike for a higher reason it seems that no two intellects (getting warm) I told you so You come here to seek truth You are takin" the place of opposition Now say what I may7 you have but to
