I have known Mr. M. Block for Eleven years, and during all that time he has born the reputation of a peace-loving, charitable gentleman. For a number of years he held offices of trust and honor in my Congregation, and has discharged them to his credit. Being , as I confidently believe, his first error, I add willilngly my name to aid the petitioners.
