of that lay in the feet that- the bill

date that the President of the United

to inform the House that in , a solemn
message, sent by the Executive to bath

Intended to be there, and that the Presi

and never let anybody know about it

we to understand from him that the

under the gospel dispensation, under
which they had the privilege to live.
No other salvation like it. Its author
was greater than Moses, for hew= only

from great sin and misery. It brings to
great holiness. and happiness. He then
considered the danger and imposidbility
of escape. Escape was mot possible.
None could escape who neglected the
salvation. It was sot necessary to be an
Infidel, a =meths or an atheist to be a
neglecter of this salvation. Many honest
and respectable men—many who even
attend to external duties, neglect It.

scrupulous fidelity whit they have seen
there. They have French cooks and
