-
We had hoped that [Rev] Mr Woodcock would gather wisdom from disappointment, and learn discretion from humiliation; but such does not appear the case. In fact, he does not appear to look upon false prophecy as a misfortune at all, nor upon the palpable blunders that he enumerated from the pulpit as in any respect humiliating... If Mr Woodcock yet holds to opinions which thoughtful men could not sanction in the panic of '52, how can he expect to be now looked upon as a wise discerner of the times, or a correct interpreter of the dispensation of Providence.
