Uho ought to he punished, the DevH or
Man?-The late John Thomas, one of the mis-
sionary brethren Of Serampore, one day ad-
dressing crowd of natives on the bank of the
Ganges, was accosted by Brahmin as follows:
: Sir, don't you say the devil tempts men to sin!'
Yes answered Mr.. Thomas. 'Then,' said the
Brahmin certainly the fault is the devil's the de-
vii, therefore, and not man, ought to suffer the
punishment. While the countenances of many
of the natives discovered their appreciation of the
Bramins inference, Mr.. Thomas observing boat
with several men on board descending the river,
with that facility of instructive retor for which he
was distinguished, replied, 'Brahmn, do you see
yonder boat yes Suppose were to send
some of my friends to destroy every person on
board, and bring all that is valuable in the boat;
who ought to suffer punishment, for instructing
them, or they for doing this wicked act?'


Why answered the Brahmin with emotion,
you ought all to be put to death together
'Ay, Brahmin,' replied Mr.. Thomas, 'and if you
and the devil sin together. the devil and you will
be punished together
