weariness to their flesh but they will please bear with us a little longer we are about half through with the christian advocate when we take up a task we like to stay with it to the end of course we

liberality and tolerance while men like the editor of the christian advocate and his methodist bishops and his methodist elders pose as champions of equal rights or even of common honesty these facts will bring to the mind of the judicious observer the words that were spoken of the spiritual ancestors of the preachers woe unto you scribes and pharisees Pharis ees hypocrites because ye are like unto whited sepulchers which outwardly appear to men beautiful but within are full of dead mens bones and of all filthiness |
