How convenient! What crimes may not be committed under the doctrine of the last remark.

But, my dear, class leading Methodist brethren, did not condescend to give me a reason for breaking up the Sabbath school at St.
Michael's; it was enough that they had determined upon its destruction.
I am, however, digressing.
After getting the school cleverly into operation, the second time holding it in the woods, behind the barn, and in the shade of trees--I succeeded in inducing a free colored man, who lived several miles from our house, to permit me to hold my school in a room at his house.

He, very kindly, gave me this liberty; but he incurred much peril in doing so, for the assemblage was an unlawful one.

I shall not mention, here, the name of this man; for it might, even now, subject him to persecution, although the offenses were committed more than twenty years ago.

I had, at one time, more than forty scholars, all of the right sort; and many of them succeeded in learning to read.
