into the hands of an individual at a sacrifice of one-half the amount the
trustees have been offered for it, it will not be our fault. What motives
could have induced the charges against us involving not only our

honesty, we will not undertake to say. The public can best judge for
themselves. (Signed) John Wheeler, Harvey Hunt, Edwin C. French, Trustees
of Grace church parish. (15)

it is nut in man that walketh to direct his steps." (8)
289 - L Dec. 5: 1/4 - In the discourse at the Trinity church on Nov. 30, the
reverend speaker stressed the idea that under our system of government one
is taught from his early childhood that a degree of absolute sovereignty
rests in him. Under this teaching, claimed the speaker, one comes easily
and unconsciously to place too much reliance upon his own efforts and too
Ii ttle reliance upon the directing hand of a superintending providence.
