Merely to enlighten all who are

there may be an lugalhermg of

Without this, it appear* that ail
our labor is in vain to attempt to
keep the congregation* togcthci, as
the different denomination* are lifting
every effort that lies iu their power
to draw them over; and it is self-
evident that Ibey will succeed with
