    we are reproached for not having been more liberal in our benefactions for their relief ; and our conduct in this particular is

    contrasted with that of certain Methodists , who subscribed largely to support the destitute children of a worthy minister of their own persuasion .

    Now Sir , I can perceive very little resemblance in the two cases . Mrs . Stand-evens was the daughter of a clergyman of the establishment , highly connected , and said to be respected and beloved by

    would feel disposed to send a boasting account of it to the Methodist Magazine , and contrast it with the scantiness of their relief to the orphans of Mrs . Standevens ! *
