Note: My grand-father deacon Ebenezer Witter, died three years before mybirth, yet my mother's history of him is fresh in my mind. He was astrict observer of the Christian Sabbath; and in a faithful performanceof all the duties God requires of us as parents and children on His Holyday. And as a sample, my mother began with her children before we couldread; we had to say the catechism after her on Sabbath evening, and if wewere sleepy sitting down we had to stand up. This was her course untillwe left the home mansion. He was also very punctual in family worship,and when confined to his bed with a broken limb, and on his back, he ledthe family in prayer morning and evening.
Reader, you may call this by what ever name you please, we will rest thejudgement to the great day of God Almighty, when you and I shall be thereto participate in the decision.
