and discipline who reject some things therein
plainly written , and practiced things not found
therein at all. such men are as sectarian, as those
who have a written creed or discipline, and not
quite as honest. I find that Br. Shinn bone
opponents find it much easier to call him,
an old crazy man, than to refute his argunents
or prove his statements untrue. there is nothing
that recommends a man higher in my estim
:ation than to hear his opponents say ' he is not
worth minding,' or call him by some ugly, or
unpopular name. I allmost take it for granted
that he has the truth on his side, and that the
dare not openly face hime. yours, M. Winans

Hymn
Religion is a glorious treasure,
the purchase of a saviours blood
it fills the mind with consolation
and lifts the thoughts to things above
it calms our fears and soothes our sorrows
and smoothes our way o'er lifes rough sea
'tis mixed with goodness, meekness, patience
this heavenly portion mine shall be
This earthly house must be dissolved
and mortal life will soon be o'er
all earthly cares and earthly sorrows
will pain my eyes and heart no more
but pure religion remains forever
and my glad heart shall strengthened be
while endless ages are onward rowling
this heavenly portion mine shall be
How vain, how fleet, how transetory
this world with all its pomp and show
its vain delights, delusive pleasures
i'll gladly leave them all below
but grace and glory shall be my story
while I in Jesus such beauties see
and endless ages are onward rolling --
this heavenly portion mine shall be
