“The following pages contain, with some few alterations and additions, the substance of a series of Letters, published in a local periodical, under the signature of “Pastor.” Believing as I do, that there are few rural parishes that have not within them the elements of sound Moral Government, I am induced to give these “Hints” the chance of a more general circulation; in the hope that they may be useful, in exciting some of those who may have the opportunity, to the importance of aiding the moral amelioration of their neighbourhood, both by personal example and a judicious exercise of personal effort.”—Preface.
