of families with their well trained progeny.
And then have we heard a rhetorical reader
revive the shades of St. Paul Sterne Wesley
and other great divines whose soul-stirring
passages thawed the hearts of some to piety
and of others to friendship and. early 'love.

No matter ; piety friendship love cleanliness
and elegance all were good fruis. though
some perhaps a little out of season. .
