But at present I can not. I might endure to hear Mr. Smith say evil things concerning God, but the evil things he says to God make me quite unable to pray, and I feel like a hypocrite!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
