_Thou shalt not avenge_, _nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people_; _but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself_. Leviticus, xix. 18. _The stranger that dwelleth with you shall be as one born amongst you_, _and thou shalt love him as thyself_; xxxiv. 5. _Beware of hardness of heart toward thy poor brother_. Deut. vii. 15, 9. _Be ye therefore __merciful_, _as your Father who is in heaven is merciful_. Luke vi. 36. _For he raiseth up the poor out of the dust and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill_. Psalm cxiii. 7. _Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you_, _do ye even so to them_; _for this is the law and the prophets_. Matt. vii. 12. _Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself_. Matt. xix. 19. And who is thy neighbour? Read the parable of the Good Samaritan, and _Go and do likewise_. Luke x. 15. The author will finally conclude by observing, that England will have a great deal to answer for in reference to the Gipsies of past generations. For, from a very moderate calculation that he has made, 150,000 of these outcasts have passed into the eternal world, uninformed, unacquainted with God, since they came to this country. May the present, and succeeding generations, be wiser than the past! APPENDIX. Since the GIPSIES' ADVOCATE was put to press, the author, as might naturally be expected on a subject so interesting as the conversion of the Gipsies, has had many other pleasing communications. From his Bristol correspondents he has been favoured with several of delightful interest, in reference to a small colony in that neighbourhood; and these state that several of the Gipsies not only begin to evidence an aversion to their former life, but increase in seriousness, and in habits of industry. And happy is he to say, that several influential Christians of that city are growing in the interest they manifest to these outcasts of society; for they are endeavouring to improve every opportunity of affording them instruction. It is with peculiar pleasure too, the author learns, that the students of the Baptist Academy of the above-named city, are not dead to the affecting necessities of this poor people. Some of the students of that academy spent the whole of one day in endeavouring to find one of their large encampments, of which they had had some previous information, and spent the evening in giving such instruction as appeared to them to be the best calculated to enlighten and reform the people to whom they were so anxious to do good; some of them occupying themselves with the children, and others with the adults. May their example have its due influence on surrounding Christians!
