ter which arrangements were made for

persion of the Jew, caused by disobedi

a distinct conuedtion between sin and
its consequences and this was in ac-
cordance with the plan and purpose of
God, The remedy was the grace of God
in the. heart. Rev. H. W Locke .furn-

travelling through the county looking
for the same kiud of stock.
