THE WATERBURY CONFERENCE. 
THE FREEDMEN'S MISSION—OPPORTUNITY. 
BY A PEDESTRIAN MISSIONARY. 
I have before me an article quoted from 
the London Spectator, entitled "The Ameri-
can Freedman and his teachers." As it is 
well written, like all the articles of that able 
publication, and as the facts it contains have 
a direct bearing upon the subject on which I 
am writing, I will be excused for making a 
somewhat lengthy extract : 
"It would be idle here to attempt to 
enumerate the different societies now in ex-
istence in the United States for the relief or 
benefit of the Freedmen. Their work, and 
the spirit in which it is carried on, and the 
thoughts which it suggests to the workers, 
can best be realized by a sample taken from 
the recent records of one them. Here is the 
Pennsylvania Freedmen's Bulletin for Aug-
ust, 1865, published at Philadelphia, for the 
"Pennsylvania Freedman Relief Associa-
tion." Since April 21, 1865, this body has 
received nearly $7,000 in contributions. It 
irs's charge of and contains reports from 4 
schools in South Carolina, 5 in Tennessee, 4 
in Alabama, 7 in Washington, 3 in Virginia, 
with over 3,500 pupils on their registers and 
an average attendance of nearly 2,800. The 
teaching extends generally to geography, 
sometimes to history, and even physiology. 
The schools are far from being, as is some-
times asserted, attended mainly by sharp 
half-breeds. Out of 380 pupils on the school 
register of South Carolina, only 38 are set 
down as mulattoes, 342 as pure blacks ; and 
to shew that these latter fairly enter into the 
highest studies, it is sufficient to say that the 
number of pupils who study mental arithme-
tic is 151 ; of those who study written arith-
metic 117 ; and geography 116. The re-
ports are uniform as to the eagerness of the 
people to learn. At Nashville 'multitudes 
are denied admission to the schools because 
there is no room for them,' and the superin-
tendent 'has only to say that during a long 
experience in teaching he has never wit-
nessed such eagerness for learning, such 
ready adaptation to the regulations of a new 
school, or such quiet, sensible behaviour as 
characterized the children thus gathered.' 
'The children of Murfreesboro are above the 
average as regards capacity, and the rapid 
development of the freed peor le at ,this point 
in their industrial relations exceeds the most 
sanguine expectations of their warmest 
friends,' says the superintendent for Tentless-
see and North Alabama, who also mentions 
the interesting fact that 'this summer three 
colored teachers are in the employ of our 
association, all of whom obtained their edu-
cation in our own schools.' Mr. Walton, 
the Principal of Keystone School, Stevenson, 
Alabama, says of his 'pupils, that 'their am-
bition and energy in learning to read and 
write are truly remarkable in many cases.' 
And he instances an old washerwoman who 
'regularly gets up before daylight, attends to 
her household duties, does her washing, iron-
ing, &c., with her open book in sight, arid 
then comes to school and studies most faith-
' fully while there ; an aged woman, living 
more than a mile off; who 'works early and 
late to perform her home duties, and walks 
in here to school twice a day ;2 a middle 
aged woman residing ten miles off, who left 
her home expressly to attend school, and 
'cooks and washes to pay her boarding ;' an 
oldish man who gave up his business, and 
sold his shop, 'that he might give his undi-
vided attention to the improvement of his 
mind at school.'" 
The facts recorded in the above extract 
are very suggestive. There are certain mis-
sions which find peculiar favor with some 
Christians, on the assumption that they are 
peculiarly important. For example, some 
are very zealous in supporting missions to 
the Jews, under the mistaken impression that 
they are still objects of God's peculiar-love, 
.in utter forgetfulness of the fact that their 
peculiarity was conditional, and ceased to be 
by their non-compliance with the prescribed 
conditions, and that by the death of Christ 
the middle wall of partition between Jew and 
Gentile was broken down, God thus making 
O t eir Redeemer's birth ; 
"The Christ is born !" the angel said, 
"Heaven bears to earth good will, 
Go quickly in the manger find 
Tie King of Zion's hill." 
His words were true : the child was found ; 
And when to manhood grown, 
By Jordan's stream to wondering crowds 
Jehovah made Him known : 
"This is my Son," the Father cried, 
He comes to do my will, 
And Ile will be, by my decree, 
The King on Zion's hill." 
An rioted thus the heir went forth 
Oar ruined world to save, 
And in this great and wondrous work 
The hosts of hell to brave : 
And when the cross before him rose— 
With heart undaunted still,—
"I shall he yet on earth," he said, 
"The King of Zion's hill." 
Nailed to the cross, his head he bowed,— 
A prayer—and he was dead ; 
The crisis of the world had come,- 
0 God ! had niercy fled ? 
His empty tomb the truth reveals— 
He did his word fulfill : 
He rose triumphant over death, 
The King of Zion's hill. 
"Go preach my word"—was his command 
To his disciples given ; 
Then slowly from the earth He rosy 
To God's right hand in heaven. 
His church remains ; his word remains— 
Its glory growing still,— 
And trusting millions wait to see 
The King of Zion's bill. 
May we be found in that great day 
Among the ransomed throng 
That with immortal tongues shall sing 
The new, redemption song, 
For 
 foe must sink and fall 
Before his sovereign will, 
And Christ alone on earth renewed 
Be King of Zion's hill.

MISSION JOUNAL. 
among the more intelligent and cultivated of 
God's people ? Oh ye Christians, here and 
elsewhere, who think lightly of' these little 
ones, remember that with them in the king-
dom of God you must be, and that they will 
shine there as brightly as you. 
The scene at the water was also a joyous 
one. Two were buried with Christ, and 
came up in the likeness of his resurrection. 
Singing and words of gladness resounded all 
around. 
In the afternoon spoke from Acts 2 : 37, 
38 ; after which we commemorated the death 
and sufferings of our Redeemer ; looking 
forward to the time when we hoped to come 
around his table in that kingdom over which 
he will reign ; and when there will not be a 
Canaanite in the land. After the sup-per, 
many testified to the joy and peace they had 
experienced through the clay. It was nearly 
dark when we separated. 
Nov. 7th. Since the departure of Bro. 
and sister Child, I have held the field alone 
against friends and enemies. I say freinds, 
because there are those that desire to occupy 
our ground, but who are not our enemies 
,—wishing us well and perhaps success, but 
would a little rather do the work themselves. 
Of course it is from pure benevolence that 
they come and offer to take the field, and re-
lieve us of all responsibility. It would 
amuse the friends of the Mission were I to 
relate the many diplomatic attempts made of 
late to relieve us of our labors here. The 
American Missionary Society have kindly 
offered to take the entire responsibility of 
teaching these children and people ail they 
need to know. The Agent at Nashville is 
very kind, and trusts something may yet be 
done for this people. I of' course wish the 
same, and so far we are agreed. I have in-
dicated to hint that when we have concluded 
to abandon the field, iris society will be in-
formed cf that conclusion. 
The Methodists also have tried their skill 
at diplomacy, which however with them par-
takes more of belligerency than negotiation. 
They have however proposed that I accept 
of their assistance in obtaining land for our 
house and also in teaching. I declined ou 
the ground that I did not think they cared 
so much for the education of the children of 
these poor colored people as they did to 
proselyte and get control ofthe parents and 
people themselves. I kindly told the two 
delegates who were sent from Nashville with 
bear them which are evil ; and thou bast 
tried them which say they are apostles and 
are not ; and bast found them liars; and hast 
borne and bast patience, for my name's sake 
hast labored and hast riot fainted." Here is 
a description of a people zealous on behalf of 
God. Truly the minister whose privilege it 
was to labor amongst them had a great door 
and effectual opened for him of the Lord, 
into which he did well to enter. But all 
was not plane sailing with him, ho wever 
great the door might be, for the Apostle adds, 
"there are many adversaries." And this 
formed a strong additional inducement to the 
lion-hearted' Paul to stay at Ephesus. The 
willingness of some to receive the truth, the 
determination of others to oppose its recep-
tion, such were the two motives set before 
this noble-minded man of God. Who can 
doubt that they would prove sufficient to in-
duce him to adventure himself into the thea-
tre and after the manner of men fight 
with beasts at Ephesus And such also are 
the twofold inducements set before the Chris-
tians of America in regard to the freedmen 
There is a great door and effectual ()eerie/ 
for them by the good hand of' their God upon 
them. Millions are shouting the Macenonian 
cry. Millions are calling for instruction. 
The fields are white to harvest. The lately 
enslaved black is now turning his face to the 
North and exclaiming in tones of deepest 
earnestness, Will you not aid me ? Am I 
not a man and a brother ? Christians ! pro-
fessed followers of the Lamb of God ! be-
lievers in Him whose name is Love, will you 
riot hear that cry ? But "there are many 
adversaries." Ali yes, here comes tine second 
inducement—there are many adversaries, and 
these adversaries have already shewn what 
spirit they are of by giving your school-room 
to the flames, thus proving that black hearts 
are worse than black faces. But is not this 
an additional inducement to action ? So far 
from deterring it ought to operate as a trum-
pet blast, for such an act can only be per-
formed at the instigation of Satan, who find-
ing that his empire was being assailed, took 
this appropriate means of defending it. 
Satan, Satan heard and trembled, 
And upstarting from his throne, 
Bands of Belial's sons assembled, 
Fired with rancour all his own, 
Madly swearing, 
Christ to slaves should ne'er be known 
But Christ shall be known to slaves, or 
rather to those who once were slaves but are 
now freedmen. The command of God is 
"resist the devil," and so he must be resisted, 
and one way of resisting him is by support-
ing the Freedmen's Mission, and thus send-
ing the gospel to those who are perishing for 
lack of knowledge. 
And now I have done with the Waterbury 
Conference. 
ver ; for the greater Deliverer is coming. 
30th. A week has gone by without any-
hing of note transpiring. The changes, 
owever, in my situation caused by the ab-
ence of Bro. Child and family is so great, 
hat I am reminded of Selkirk on his lonely 
land. Alone, with the exception of Bar-
ra, our faithful housekeep and sister in 
hrist, a "solemn stillness reigns around," 
roducing almost an oppressiveness ; but as 
uty calls me away among the people much 
f the time, there is felt less a feeling of 
richness than if I remained at home. 
This is the sixth day since Bro. and sister 
. left us, and began their weary journey 
omeward. Our anxiety for them has been 
intense, and prayer has beers continually 
ffered up to God for their safety, and that 
e would help them on their way. It will 
e a great relief when we learn of their 
rrival home. 
Yesterday was a good day with us. The 
Sabbath school was larger than last Lord's 
Day, and our meetings were fully attended. 
In the afternoon the place was filled to over-
flowing, and good attention was given to the 
word. Subject : the wheat and the tares. 
It was clear to all that they were growing 
together here, and the evidence of the tares 
all becoming wheat was surely wanting—
that the tares, "children of the wicked one," 
would never be converted, but remain tares, 
and grow up with the wheat until the har-
vest—end of the world—that the gathering 
time was near, and the angelswould soon be 
here to take charge of the earth, and drive 
out all things wh;ch "offend, and them that 
do iniquity." 
Not many of this people believe in a spirit-
ual millennium, and the conversion of the 
world. Death and the judgment are ever 
before them, and these two events are spoken 
of as coming realities. 'They do not con-
found the two either, as many of our own 
race do. The Spirit has never taught them 
that Christ comes in judgment at death, nor 
that men are judged when they die. They 
believe in the- coming again of Christ and 
the resurrection of the dead ; and this theme 
is never distasteful to them. It is a part of 
their spiritual knowledge, coming naturally 
to them through the medium of the Holy 
Spirit,eae.nd is in consonance with their feel-
ings when under its influence. Not that the 
Spirit has taught them all they believe in re-
gard to this great event of the future ; or in- 
wearied and fall out of the ranks when the 
trial- comes. 
But what hardship deters men in secular 
employments ? What dangers keep young 
men from the gold of California, or the sil-
ver of Nevada ? I see, every week, brave 
men sail away from the town of my home, to 
be gone, many of- them, four years from 
their families to face the rugged life of ship-
board, to endure the hardships of the Arc-
tic or the Northern Pacific,—ice, snow, wet 
—to'risk the perils of which the long list o 
widows in my cengregation tells the story. 
I have seen brave men endure toilsome 
Marches under burning suns, hard and in-
sufficient food, bivouac under pouring rain 
or on winter's snow, cold picket duty, and 
storms of shot and crashing shell, and do 
it willingly, for their country's sake. 
Is the ministry a less glorious work than 
these ? They who leave home and endure 
fatigue and risk danger in worldly pursuits, 
do it without grumbling ; are men to be pet-
ted and nursed and dandled, because, instead 
of money, their object is the salvation of 
souls. They who risked life for their coun-
try's honor were not frightened by hard-
ships ; are men who are called to the work 
of fighting for the glory of Christ to be 
afraid of trials ? Christ's servants are to 
endure hardness as good soldiees ; they are 
to bear burdens ; they are to suffer with 
Christ, if they would reign with him. The 
compensations are glorious, and. the final 
reward kingly. Manliness is wanted in men 
who are to preach God's word ; the same 
spirit of earnestness which led the soldiers 
to the battle-field. There is a, refreshing 
sensation in reading the words of many of 
the early Methodist preachers. "Tell them 
I died at my post," says one, ready to de-
part. "Fell on the field, with his face Zion-
ward," was a frequent record. There is a 
fire in that devotion which takes on the mil-
itant aspect—in Scriptural figure—and is 
ready to endure, to fight, and to conquer. 
Is Christ's servant to falter before hardships 
that worldly men never mind ? Is he to 
look for a life of grumbling and fretting ? 
If be does, he is not the man wanted now. 
I am not saying that there are not, some-
times, feelings which can be judiciously re-
moved. Too much diffidence is sometimes in 
the way ; for the work is one to which the 
loftiest powers are inadequate. A mistaken 
idea as to a "call" from God may sometimes 
be taken away. But it is true that one who 
needs to have it shown him that he can be 
rid of all thoughts as to support ; or looks 
with longing on a literary life, or a life of 
ambition, or a life or art-culture ; or is de-
tered by the hardships in prospect ; and 
must have all these things argued with 
on the ground that he can be supported 
without care, or that he can lead a literary 
life, or that religion is the life of art, or that 
the ministry is a reputable calling—is not 
the man for this work. Men are not -want-
ed who are to be petted arid coaxed and al- 
lured. They are not worth having. If they 
are not willing to give up, if need be, all 
these idols—if one of them stands in the 
way of preaching Christ and him crucified—
there is such a defect in his piety that the 
cause would suffer in his hands. Christ 
must be first. 
There is but one motive to present. It is, 
that the love of Christ constraineth us. This 
is the great motive power to the work of a 
true minister. The salvation of souls is his 
aim, riot the getting of a good reputation, 
not the securing of a life of quiet and ease. 
All things are to be but loss for the excel-
lency—of the knowledge of Christ Jesus. 
Ualess that feeling animates the heart of a 
young man, he is not an acquisition to the 
ranks of the ministry. 
A good deal is said, ' sometimes, of the 
"clergyman." Is not "minister" better ? 
"Minister" is Biblical ; "clergyman" came in 
with corruption in the church. The "minis-
ter" is to be a humble preacher of the gospel ; 
the "clergyman" is professional. When the 
preacher gets to be a "professional" man, his 
life smacks of a mere employment for a 
livelihood. This is more than a play upon 
words ; it strikes at the life. The churches, 
and the cause, and the Master, do not need 
"clergymen ;" they ask for men who will 
preach the gospel. They do not need men 
Who are balancing what "profession" to 
enter ; they ask for men who are "called of 
God." They want not men who are to be 
coaxed, but men who feel, "Woe is me, if I 
preach riot the gospel !" Is not this feeling 
to be expected ? It was had in early days ; 
it has, iii later times, been the overwhelming 
power which sent the greatest men into the 
ministry. If it does not now furnish men in 
sufficient numbers, it will furnish all that are 
fit for it. If not enough, it shows that the 
piety of the churches is sadly defective ; the 
consecration of some is terribly neglected ; 
the prayers of God's people, that "He will 
send laborers into his harvest," are the need.

sick and almost helpless, he with his 
to himself of twain one new man, so that 
now there is neither Jew nor Greek, male or 
female, bond or free, but all are one in 
Christ Jesus. 
Again, others are equally zealous in send-
ing Missions to the Papists, under the erro- 
neous idea that popery is to be overthrown 
by the preaching of the gospel, forgetful of 
the fact that it is destined to be consumed by 
the Lord, "by the spirit of his mouth, and 
destroyed by the brightness of his coming." 
This kind of mission finds peculiar favor in 
Canada, where the French Canadian Mission 
is of all others the most popular. I do not 
object to these missions ; far from it. On 
the contrary, I have lent them both my hum-
ble assistance, and although I do not expect 
that any results of a special character are 
likely to flow from them, but there is one 
feature common to them bOth with which I 
have been much struck, and that is that 
neither of them have been eminently success-
ful. Conversions have taken place, both 
among Jews and Papists, for the Lord has a 
people among them, even as among others, 
brit no movement on an extended scale has 
taken place among either. The Jews stead-
fastly reject the gospel ; "as their fathers did 
so do they," and the followers of the Man of 
Sin are equally impenitent. 
I was wont to be struck, when residing in 
Scotland, at the want of success attending 
the Mission of the Free Church to the Jews, 
and equally surprised at a fact which came 
under my notice when residing in London. 
There is an institution in that great city de-
signed for the Christian education of the 
children of Jews, the place where it is situ-
ated being called by that circumstance by 
the name of Palestine Place. I visited that 
institution expecting from the size of it to 
find a considerable number of pupils, instead 
of which I found only a mere handful. So 
far as I recollect the number scarcely 
amounted to twenty. But the countenances 
of the children surprised me even more than 
the paucity of their numbers. No one who 
has once had an opportunity of studying the 
Jewish physiognomy can ever forget it. The 
olive complexion, the hooked nose, the coal 
black hair, the black piercing eye proclaim 
unmistakeably the descendants of Abraham 
according to the flesh. But what struck me 
in these children was their want of this pe-
culiar physiognomy, for some had straight 
noses, others had fair hair, others blue eyes. 
I remarked this to the teacher, who informed 
me with a smile, that they were not pure 
Jewish children, but the product of inter-
marriage between Jews and Christians, and 
that no Jewish parents ever sent their chil- 
dren to the institution The Jew, says 
Carlyle, is a piece of stubborn antiquity. 
He rejects Christianity as inflexibly as his 
ancestors rejected Christ. 
But the Papist is to the full as stubborn 
and dark-minded as the Jew, and consequent-
ly is as difficult to turn from his errors. 
When once a soul gets entangled in the 
meshes of Popery it would seem as if nothing 
but Divine power could set it tree. The 
consequences have been that Missions to the 
Papists have as a general rule been eminent-
ly unsuccessful, few conversions having taken 
place among them. I attended the annual 
meeting of the French Canadian Missionary 
Society held at Montreal upwards of a year 
ago, and heard the report read. It took me 
a good deal by surprise, for it amounted in 
substance to this : that the mission had now 
been in existence for upwards of twenty 
years, and the result was, not that any great 
number of the Papists had been converted, 
but that their minds were now in a better 
condition to receive the gospel than they 
ever were before. Twenty years' labors to 
bring the minds of the French Canadians to 
a receptive condition ! It is slow progress, 
and although nearly two years have since 
past away, I have not yet learned that any-
thing more has been done. Tire receptive 
condition of the Canadian mind may still 
continue, but as yet no movement has taken 
place. If we are to take this for an example 
of the manner in which the world is to he 
converted, it is clear that the advent of the 
millennium is yet afar off. 
Now, from Jews and Papists let us turn 
to Negroes, and observe the contrast. The 
two first classes refuse instruction at the hands 
of Protestants, the last crowd into schools and 
churches, eagerly desiring instruction, whether 
secular or sacred, anxious to hear it preached. 
It would indeed be wrong to say that the 
difficulties in the way of Missions to the 
stubborn Jew or dark-minded Romanist 
ought to operate as a hindrance in the way 
of sending them, but surely it would be 
equally wrong to deny that the apparent 
willingness of the negro to receive the truth 
as it is in Jesus is a stronger reason why it 
should be sent to him. The Apostle Paul, 
addressing the Corinthians, speaks of his de-
sire to visit them, but says, "I will tarry at 
Ephesus until Pentecost, for a great door and 
effectual is opened unto me, and there are 
many adversaries." What did he mean by 
the great door and effectual which was 
opened unto him ? Evidently that many of 
the Ephesians were willing to receive the 
truth. 'This is clear from what the Lord 
himself afterwards said to the Ephesian 
church, when it had begun to leave its first 
love : "I know thy works, and thy labors, 
and thy patience, and how thou canst not 
Nov. 2d. To-day has been held our cove-
nant meeting, preparatory to the communion. 
It was quite fully attended, considering how 
difficult it is for this people to leave their 
work ; many being employed by the whites, 
who are ever unwilling that their help should 
attend meetings of their own. The colored 
people here are not yet free. Their circum-
stances make them the servants of the most 
hard-hearted men and women ; and they are 
still obliged to suffer many deprivations and 
agravating insults. But a goodly number 
got away from their toils and came to the 
place of prayer to-day. Two young converts 
presented themselves for baptism on next 
Lord's Day. A young woman, under deep 
conviction and in great distress of mind came. 
She, however, obtained no relief, and went 
away still sorrowful. Our meeting was a 
heavenly season—one where Jesus would not 
have been ashamed to be, and where he sent 
the Holy Spirit in his stead. All rejoiced in 
prospect of a speedy deliverence from sin and 
all its consequences. The aright crown, the

THE MINISTRY. 
Rev. A. H. Quint, writes in the Congrega-
tionalist on this subject as follows : 
Another reply is, that the cost of educa-
tion for other professions does not keep their 
ranks thin. Who knows a young man reso-
lutely bent on being a lawyer, that was pre-
vented by the expense ? He may fare hard, 
but he will get through. It will cost as 
much as to be educated for the min-
istry ; and his indispensable library will cost 
more ; but he always succeeds. "But," it 
is said, "he looks forward to amassing 
wealth, or reaching an elevated position." 
True ; but the minister expects to save souls, 
and he looks to the crown of life. Is wealth 
a greater inducement than the salvation of 
souls ? Is position a greater lure than the 
final blessing of Christ ? If one turns from 
preparation for the ministry of the Lord to 
preparation for another pursuit, because of 
the expense, he has less energy than men in 
other ranks. He does well not to be a' min-
ister ; he is not the man wanted. 
Another obstacle sometimes quoted, is the 
lack of appreciation of the minister. He 
does not have the respect, the standing in 
community, of men in other professions, 
some say. This is a low, groveling objec-
tion. Jesus Chi'ist was not appreciated ; is 
the disciple greater than his master ? He 
was despised and rejected of *men ; shall his 
ministers seek the reputation of men ? If 
reputation and high standing in society is 
his object, he is not the man for this work. 
If he wants public office, this office is better 
.off without him. If he wants a literary 
reputation, and to be a magnate among 
men of letters, the "foolishness of preaching" 
is not adapted to his ends. The standing, 
the reputation, which are always given to 
such as earn them, must come incidentally. 
To make them an end, is outside the minis-
ter's calling. 
An obstacle felt by some, is that it is a life 
of hardship. With many a sunny feature, 
with sympathies and love gathering about 
him, with peace of mind, and joy in work, 
yet his life often is one of self-denial. It is 
of no use to try to hide it. He will have—
almost every one—to live on narrow means. 
He will suffer from the sometimes meanness 
of churches. He must sigh over the unsup-
plied wants of mental helps. Some will 
have the roughnessses of a new country to 
endure—exposures, risks of health, hard 
work. Every one will have hard and wear-
ing labors. A young man should look this 
prospect squarely in the face, lest he get

GEO. FOX AND THE QUAKERS. 
The fourth of the Rev. John Lord's his-
torical lectures before the Christian Associa-
tion was delivered to a very large audience 
on Friday evening. Subject—"George Fox 
and the Quakers," of whom he gave the fol-
lowing account : 
The life of George Fox is interesting, 
since he was sincere and earnest in his Chris-
tian principles, and since he desired the spir-
itual welfare of society. He sought to save 
men and believed in the great doctrines of 
religion. 
He was the first to propound some great 
truths which untimely contributed to modify 
society and elevate mankind. The world is 
doubtless better for his having lived in it ; 
although in my opinion he advanced some 
unsound doctrines and mingled with his sub-
lime truths errors exceedingly insidious and 
dangerous, which if carried out to their ex-
treme logical sequence are hard to be distin-
guished from the tenets of the votaries of 
mysticism or the philosophy of pagan sages. 
These, however, are the errors of a system 
which has been productive of great blessings. 
Moreover Fox was a great genius. He 
advanced ideas which shook the age. He 
will be to all time a much-greater object of 
interest to the philosophical historian than 
Charles the Second with his palaces, his 
sycophants and his mistresses ; not perhaps 
to the people who love scandal, anecdote and 
dramatic painting, but to those who seek to 
trace the true progress of society. The Sov-
ereign of England was a gilded show and 
sought only self-indulgence. George Fox 
was the originator of solid and permanent 
ideas which contributed to the welfare of fu-
ture generations. 
The first matters to which our attention is 
drawn in considering the life of Fox is his 
religious experience. He was born in those 
tumultuous times which produced a Crom-
well ; but it was during the inglorious reign 
of Charles II. that lie appears upon the stage. 
He did not, more than Luther or any of the 
great lights of the world, start with the idea 
of becoming a reformer or the founder of a 
great school. His peculiar doctrines grew 
out of his religious experience. These he

his dear wife and child in the care of God. 
It was a sad hour to me and the Mission. 
But surely God will direct all to his glory ; 
and with this we should be gatisfied. 
Although we have much to discourage us, 
despair has no place in our hearts. We be-
lieve that out of' all this gloom we shall be 
brought to see the clear sunshine of health 
and prosperity. God only apparently leaves 
his children ; He never forsakes them. He 
has his purposes to accomplish everywhere, 
and it4Inay be that he often suffers his peo-
ple to fail for a while in their work for him, 
in order to accomplish first in another way 
a greater work. If we have to wait, let us 
be patient. I believe we shall yet see through 
all this mystery of hindrance and delay in 
our work here. What now is dark will be 
light. Let us watch through the night. 
Oct. 23. Ever since our house was 
burned, our Sabbath meetings have been 
held in a grove until yesterday. Last week 
I made arrangements to hold them in the 
basement of a dwelling house, rented by a 
colored man from Illinois, who is trying 
keep here a pay school. He had no sto 
nor benches, and I therefore proposed tE 
we furnish a stove, and put in our chal 
seats for the use of the room on the Sabha 
until our house was ready to be occuph 
He gladly assented to it ; and yesterday 
met beneath a roof, the first time since t 
9th of July. The room we meet in is abc 
forty feet in length by twenty in width. 
is five feet below the street, and the wa 
are of rough stone on every side. It is pi 
tially lighted by two windovvs, arid the phi 
is damp and gloomy. It is, however, bet 
than no place. It reminds me of the de 
and caves of the earth, in which the char 
of Christ in other days met for safety a 
worship. 
The Sabbath school was small ; the 
rangement not being generally known. 
social meeting was also thinly attended I 
the same reasons. Some went to the gro 
as usual, but finding no meeting return 
home. Our meeting in the afternoon 
better attended. I spoke from Ps. 125

MORE AWFUL THAN THE JUDGMENT.—A 
celebrated preacher of the seventeenth cen-
tury, in a sermon to a crowded audience, de-
scribed the terrors of the last judgment with 
such elequence, pathos and force of action, 
that some of his audience not only burst into 
tears, but sent forth piercing cries, as if the 
Judge himself had been present, and was 
about to pass upon them their final sentence.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1865. 
JOSIAH LITCH, EDITOR. 
made remonstrance, and strove to remedy the° 
evil by moral suasion. He was led to mag-
nify the virtue of love. It was the only 
omnipotent power in heaven or earth. His 
principles of literal interpretation pushed him 
to non-resistance. 
This law of love became the third great prin-
cipal of his ethical creed. He was willing to 
give it most indefinite application. He 
would interfere with no man's rights, punish 
no one for heresy, abolish all penal laws for 
holding religious opinions not in accordance 
with the doctrines of the established church. 
He would knock off the fetters of the slave 
and inculcate universal philanthropy. There 
was to be no limitation to the objects of 
charity, forbearance and love. And since 
the Scriptures were literally to be obeyed, 
since God revealed them by his spirit to 
favored men of old, and since they could not 
be in opposition to what his Spirit taught in 
in all ages, he would comply with their plain 
directions without any regard ter con-
sequences. The laws of expediency were 
his special abomination. 
From this principle of obeying God rather 
than man and attempting to realize in his 
own life the idea of a spotless perfection, all 
his doctrines received absolute confirmation 
God's absolute commands were not to be se 
aside for any accumulation of outward evils 
He nevertheless professed to have faith ii 
the power of ideas, though he could not se 
the manner of their triumph. An elevate 
faith in God as the Author' of truth was in 
his soul, which imparted to his character all 
the elements of a splendid and beautiful en-
thusiasm. He would be serene in persecu-
tion, tribulations and death, for God was hi 
Friend and He was an Omnipotent Pre-
server. He would work for truth whether 
he saw the result or not. He had nothing 
to do with results. They would follow from 
the seeds he had sown, as industry would 
produce thrift in accordance with the opera-
tion of immutable law. It was not man but 
the Spirit and truth of God which were to 
save the world. But whether saved or not, 
he had done his duty which of itself was a 
reward. It was not to win heaven only or 
to win reputation and honor that he did this 
duty, but to conform to the eternal will of 
God. 
Great were the majesty and the beauty 
and the glory of the truth which in its sub-
lime perfection transported his soul. To con-
form to it was the highest end and object of 
his life. He sought it for its own sake, that 
he might be in harmony with the Universe 
I of God and his sublime perfections. 
Doctrines so strange, etherial and elevated 
were not understood by a wrangling genera-
tion, immersed in war, devoted to pleasure, 
struggling to secure the supremacy of sects, 
or extort from selfish kings constitutional 
privileges and those advantages which lead 
to wealth and political improvement. Fox 
and his followers were assailed as the ene-
mies of all creeds, forms and institution, im-
practicable visionaries, almost madmen. His 
first disciples were among the humble ; but 
men of considerable social position 
and William Penn. But not the highest 
rank could secure the Quakers from the 
bitterest persecution. Nothing but the most 
exalted virtues and serene faith could have 
sustained them in such a storm of hatred and 
obloquy as was raised against them. 
After a critical review of the doctrines 
promulgated by Fox, and a history of the 
sect which he founded, the lecturer concluded 
as follows : 
Such have been sonic of the blessings 
which Fox and the Quakers have conferred 
upon the world—seine great ideas and some 
valued rights. Who will not concede that 
the principles of peace, liberty and generous 
toleration are the glory of all true benefac-
tors of our race, as well as the pride and 
boast of a progressive age ? 
In view of these great and substantial 
ideas, and also of the undoubted excellencies 
which have ever characterized the followers 
of Fox, I can readily excuse any peculiarity 
in dress, manners or mode of speech, even 
opposition to many harmless pleasures and 
disregard of many elegant arts. Such out-
ward peculiarities will probably pass away, 
for they do not constitute the life and genius 
of the system, and were not foremost in the 
mind of Fox or Penn. They thought of 
what was higher and more enduring—the 
welfare, moral and religious, of a wicked 
world. Their ideas in some respects have 
been modified with the progress of society, 
but all that is great in them will live for-
ever, even though it be outside of the rankS 
of their followers ; while their errors, (for 
what that is human is free from errors ?) we 
believe, will vanish gradually, not before the 
light of human reason, but before the light 
of the everlasting Gospel, which is to be the 
salvation of the nations, and of that Divine 
Spirit whose teaching they so earnestly in-
voke_ 
hobby. It is claimed to be an antidote for 
Universalism, etc. But I find nothing but 
what may be applied just as well by other 
nd different Scriptures ; and more than this, 
ome objectionable conclusions result from 
his belief. One says of a child of about 
wenty-five years, who died unconverted, "1 
ejoice to know she is not suffering, in mise-
ry." Another, "Father, I do not see that it 
makes much difference what I do. If your 
doctrine is true, I shall not be punished." 
Such conclusions are legitimate, though not 
desirable. I have read of Boodhism, that 
the most glowing of his (Burman's) hopes, 
acme of his promised bliss, is annihilation." 
I do not apply Boodhism to my brethren, 
and only quote this, that they may see what 
company they are in. I seldom converse 
with any one on this subject, for very seldom 
does either a brother or a sister call to see 
me, and I am confined to my chair and bed. 
I have read about all I have seen written on 
this subject for evidence of its truth, and I 
am unable to harmonize the doctrine with 
the teaching of Christ, and the Holy Spirit in 
Daniel and Isaiah. Also Paul makes us to 
consist of "soul, body and spirit," and James, 
"The body without the spirit is dead :" which 
does not make them an entity, at least in 
eath. No argument has yet convinced me 
hat the description of the rich man and Laz• 
rus, Luke 16: 19-31, refers to anything 
ifferent from the idea conveyed by the lan-
guage used, viz., that at death, the body and 
oul or spirit, are separated. The body re-
urns to dust, and the spirit is conveyed to a 
lace prepared for it, the good, to rest in 
eace, but the evil to unrest and misery ; and 
n a condition to converse, and express feel-
ligs and desires. "I am tormented in this 
ame." "He is comforted, and thou art tor-
mented." "Lest they also come into this 
place of torment." Can this reasonably rep-
resent anything else than the two conditions 
of mankind, the good and the bad ? We re-
alize the condition as represented in this life, 
of riches and luxury, and of poverty and 
want. The description is natural, true of 
the present life, arid why not true, as told by 
him who knew what was in the future, after 
death ? That it is a parable, descriptive of 
any human polity, I cannot admit, for in that 
the representation or symbol, is greater than 
the thing represented ; which is not the case 
in any parable, or symbolic exposition. See 
the parable of the sower, and of the wheat 
and the tares, Matt. 13, etc. Thus we have 
in this representation given by the Lord him-
self a plainer idea of the condition or state 
of the dead, than can elsewhere be found in 
sacred writ.

HEAVEN, HELL, PARADISE, AND THE 
KINGDOM OF GOD : WHAT AND 
WHERE THEY ARE, AND THE 
RELATION OF MEN TO EACH. 
This is an unusual theme, and one on 
which the great body of the Christian world 
is in the dark. Commencing with the next 
volume, we propose to give a series of arti-
cles on the subjects indicated, embracing the 
Scriptural and historical aspects of the sub-
jects. All who wish the entire series should 
send in their subscriptions before or by New 
Year's day. We believe that the series will 
embody a large amount of information which 
at the present age is greatly needed, and 
which will clear up marry obscure portions 
of Scripture, as well as bring to light that 
dark and mysterious future so much dreaded 
by the great mass of mortals. 
Let all our subscribers call the attention 
of their friends to this subject, and get as 
many subscribers as they can. 
FREEDMEN'S MISSION. 
A letter from Bro. D. I. Robinson informs 
us that he is about to start on his mission to 
the Freedmen near Nashville. He will 
probably be in New York this week, where 
he will be joined by his wife, and go on their 
journey by way of Trenton and Philadelphia. 
Let the whole church pray that God may 
direct arid bless their labors, and support 
them in their trials arid difficulties. 
Bro. Leslie will return home as soon as 
relieved by Bro. Robinson. Ile is anxious 
to continue in the work as soon as he can ar-
range for his family. 
Brethren and friends of the Mission, let us 
have an interest irr your daily prayers, and 
in the means God has given you, every one 
according to their several ability. 
NEW KINGSTON, PA. 
Bro. J. A. Heagy informs us that they 
have recently held a series of meetings at 
that place, which has been crowned with the 
Divine blessing, and nineteen have professed 
to find peace in believing. May the grace of 
God continue to abound there, and all over 
the land. We rejoice in the tokens of a 
plentiful shower of grace this corning winter. 
The spirit of prayer arid labor seem to pre-
vail in all departments of the Evangelical 
Church. Nearly all our religious exchanges 
bear increasing numbers of reports of the 
work of God. Let prayer be incessant and 
winged by faith that the Lord may accom-
plish a mighty work for poor sinners. 
present conclusions and mistakes. I find 
nothing in the writings of the evangelists, or 
apostles, setting forth this doctrine of uncon-
sciousness and destruction, if at all, with 
nothing like the prominence as it is now pre-
sented. Is there such wonderful advance-
ment in everything pertaining to life and 
godlinesS ? Has this doctrine the importance 
which is claimed for it ? Has it lain hidden 
for more than 1800 years, and now, within 
twenty years past, just come to light ? It 
does riot look reasonable, nor even plausible. 
Now if it is as important as it is held to be, 
by its adheresis, why is it not more clearly 
expressed, and not left entirely to inference, 
and especially such doubtful inference ? Do 
not understand me that I reject all infesential 
testimony. Far from it, for I believe in the 
accomplishment of unfulfilled prophecy, in-
fering it from prophecies which have already 
been fulfilled ; and this inference amounts to 
a comparative, if not an absolute certainity ; 
the only doubt being a correct understanding 
of events, applicable to the prophecy. Arid 
in this belief, I see impending the great and 
crowning event of prophecy, the second com-
ing of Christ, to gather his own into his glo-
rious presence, and dwell forever with them, 
to make them eternally happy, immortal, and 
himself occupy the throne of David, reigning 
over all the earth ; "and of his kingdom 
there shall be no end." 
Brethren, sisters, "give all diligence to 
make your calling and election sure ;" "that 
ye may be able to stand." Bring sinners to 
Christ. Warn the careless. Let the word 
of truth (not of doubtful disputation,) shine 
in all its splendor. "Glorify God in your 
souls and your bodies, which are his." 
"Watch and pray alway, that ye may escape 
all those things which are coming on the 
earth, and stand before the Son of man." 
"Occupy," "Overcome." "Be faithful," and 
be sure you have the "Spirit of Christ." May 
kis grace be ever with you. I am not far 
from the end of the race, very feeble, con-
fined to my chair and bed, but rejoicing in 
the Lord for his goodness, mercy and love; 
praying daily, "Come Lord Jesus, come 
quickly." Your brother, patiently waiting.

MINISTERIAL SUPPORT. 
NEW TRACT, 
The recent Congregational Council at Bos-
ton, among other things, issued a valuable 
paper on this subject, taking ground that the 
minister should be so supported as to enable 
him to live on a scale fully up to the average 
of the community which he serves. The 
reasons assigned for this position are con-
tained in the following abstract of the paper : 
It enables him to give himself wholly to 
his work. That taxes all his powers and ab-
sorbs all his time, and no man can go outside 
of it without detriment. Paul did, but he is 
the grand exception and anomaly of the ages. 
It keeps him in the best condition for his 
work. That is, it removes temptation to over-
work in other mutters, and affords reasonable 
of recuperation by diversion, travel, 
So much has been said and written, and is 
still agitated about the condition of the dead, 
that perhaps anything I may say, will only 
be reiterating what some one has said before ; 
but some of which, at least, I have not seen. 
I do not suppose that my opinion, even if er-
roneous, if held with no sinister motive, but 
with a sincere and earnest desire to know tire 
truth, will exclude me from the favor 
of God, and from his kingdom. We all 
have opinions at variance among ourselves, 
and some of them must necessarily be at va-
riance with the revealed Word, though, per-
haps, not directly contradictory to it. "'Tis 
education forms the common-mind," and we 
are being- educated so long as we are learn-
ing, and striving to know all there is for us 
to know ; and it is not surprising that in our 
natures, we take in some, perhaps, not very 
important error, with similar analogous 
truth. But we may wonder, and I often do 
wonder, how it is that different sects and 
individuals, taking the Bible for the ground 
come to such varied, and so 
widely different conclusions. The Word is 
not at fault, but there is a fault, and we frail 
mortals must acknowledge it is ours ; and it 
is well for us to examine ourselves with the 
utmost care, and divest ourselves of every 
sinister motive, though it may be as the 
plucking out of a right eye, the cutting oft 
of a right hand. And who shall say for 
opinion's sake, "I am right and you are 
wrong," unless by a veritable and undisput-
able "thus saith the Lord ?" Much of that 
which is called doctrine (riot really necessa-
ry to salvation,) is based on inference, and in 
most cases one inference stands opposed to 
another ; i. e., one believes a certain thing 
from inference, and another from inference 
believes an opposite thing, and both take 
what appears to them the most powerful (in-
ferential) evidence, many times assumed 
as a certain fact, (as in the case of the sub-
ject of this communication,) believing they 
are fully sustained by the Word of God. 
Thus different parties are satisfied, though 
settled in different and opposite conclusions 
which to each of them appear as incontro-
vertible truth. Perhaps this cannot be helped, 
(*although one inference may be about as 
good as another,) in fact, if it could be 
helped, there would be no hindrance that all . 
should not believe alike. Jesus never intend-
ed his disciples should disagree, and his in-
structions, together with the instructions of' 
the apostles,. would seem to be sufficient to 
to keep all united in the Spirit, and in the 
truth, and to enable them to shun every spe-
cies of error, and all whatever, that would 
lead to error.

It secures a respectable appearance in the

It furnishes the means of liberality. And 
he can riot train his people in the grace of

It conciliates the favor of the Master. He 
treats the churches as they treat his servants.

he will show himself stingy.

Abahred with zeal and fidelity—the discus-
iOh leading to persecution, dissension and 
'even martyrdom among his followers. They 
'drew together a peculiar class of thinkers. 
It is interesting to see how the great ques-
tion of all time, "What shall it profit a man 
if he shall gain the whole world ?" has been 
the general cause of revolutions and changes 
in the religious history of society. It has 
produced the Basils, Jeromes, Bernards and 
Luthers in the world. It induced men in 
primitive ages to retreat to deserts raid soli-
tudes. It was the religious experience of 
'Fox which gave birth to a system which has 
lasted to our own times, and has modified 
the general opinions of society in several 
most important points. 
George Fox when quite young was dis-
tracted with religious ideas. He was moral, 
obedient and humble from a boy. But mere 
outward morality did not satisfy his anxious 
and inquiring mind. He was burdened with 
doubts and perplexites. 
He was tempted by the snare of his spirit-
ual enemy, he broke off from all intercourse 
with the world and with his friends, courted 
solitude and meditation. But "these did not 
relieve his mind, nor did celestial beings 
come to his company. He repaired to Lon-
don, but the metropolis seemed envoloped in 
darkness and wickedness. He returned to 
his friends, and they advised him to get 
married. He asked the direction of a clergy-
man of great repute, who recommended him 
to sing psalms and use tobacco. Another 
prescribed physic and exercise. None un-
derstood his malady ; none could minister to 
the mind diseased. At last he heard 'what 
he supposed to be a heavenly voice speaking 
to his soul : "Only Christ can minister to thy 
condition." New light dwaned upon his 
distracted mind. His heart leaped for joy. 
He obtained comfort and consolation. It was 
not man, nor reason, nor the ordinary reading 
of Scripture which had enlightened him, re-
moved the burden from his soul. It was, as 
he supposed, a special revelation from God" 
himself. It was the voice of the Spirit. It 
was the inner light revealing new glories and 
great mysteries. Quakerism, which he found- 
' ed, was the recognition of a direct spiritual 
influence from God Almighty on the human 
soul, so powerful and clear that it could not 
be mistaken, all sufficient to guide men in 
the perplexities of life, and revealing to him 
lofty spiritual truths. 
In presenting his character I simply aim 
to present historical developments. I do not 
seek to bolster up or pull down any sect or 
party. 
Fox was persuaded that he was specially 
delegated by the spirit of God, as were the 
prophets and apostles of old, and called upon 
to declare to others the spiritual liberty which 
he enjoyed, and exhort them to the practice 
=of virtue and explain to them the mysteries 
saf revelation. He maintained that by faith-
fkil obedience and the inward teaching of the 
Holy Spirit, man would net only obtain a 
clear understanding of Scripture, but attain 
unto perfection. Believing in the certain 
guidance of the Spirit, he began to doubt the 
necessity or expediency of the ordinary in-
stitutions or ministers of religion. Not the 
clergy were to teach men, but the Spirit 
alone. He there fore felt commissioned to 
bring men away from the forms of the estab- 
lished church, which he regarded as unneces- 
sary, and •even as a perversion of spiritual 
Christianity. He would have worship of 
God to consist in the patient, humble waiting 
in silence for the guidance of the Spirit. He 
looked upon ordinary religious observances 
as so many forms by which God was dishon- 
ored. The inner light had revealed to him 
the absurdity of the external economy of the 
church, which he entirely swept away,—the 
ordination of the clergy, baptism, the Lord's 
Supper, regular services, churches, music, 
choirs, all emblematic ceremonies, and the 
peculiar dresses of the officiating ministers. 
He would institute an entirely spiritual 
church, and make religion entirely a matter 
between the soul and its Maker. 
He then found that God forbade him to put 
off his hat to any man. He was required to 
say "thee" and "thou" to every man and 
and woman ; not to bid people "good morn-
ing," or "good morrow ;" not to bow down 
and do reverence to people in authority, as 
was the custom of the time. He looked upon 
all this as a mark of honor which he ought 
not to bestow upon his fellow men, but only 
upon God. 
But what most wounded the mind of Fox 
was the earthly spirit of the clergy in accept-
ing titles and offerings for their preaching. 
They sold the Word of God, which should 
be free to all the world. Nor did he like 
church bells ; they sounded like the bell of 
the market calling people together for buy-
ing and selling ; he abolished a hireling cler-
gy and bells on the churches, which last he 
called steeple-houses. Ile objected to oaths 
in courts of law as anti-Christian and con-
trary to the precepts of Christ. The literal in-
junctions of Scripture were never to be 
slighted. No principles of expediency could 
divert him from his course. He was to obey 
God regardless of all consequences. 
If the first principle of Quakerism was 
belief in the Spirit's specially acting on the 
mind, giving interpretations of truth, knowl-
edge of God and duty, the second great 
principle was the literal interpretation of 
Scripture, in spite of all the commentaries of 
the learned, all the aids of human wisdom, 
and all the traditions of the early church. 
This Fox strenuously declared. It made 
him not only refuse to take ordinary oaths as 
administered in courts of law, but also to en-
list in the army as a soldier, because the 
Bible told him riot to kill. Hence he re-
garded war as not merely an evil, but also a 
crime, under all conceivable circumstances. 
He would not fight to gain or retain any 
worldly blessing, not even liberty, the sancti-
ty of the family circle, or life itself. He 
would die rather than threaten the life of an 
assassin. He would dispense with armies, 
firearms, ships of war. He would coerce 
nothing where coercion required the taking 
of human life. No circumstance would in-
duce him to take the life of a culprit. He 
would abolish all capital punishments. And 
if he could not confine the robber without 
killing him, would let him go at large if he 
As to the retribution of the wicked at the 
judgment, "For the Son of man shall come 
in the glory of his Father, with his angels, 
and then shall he reward every man accord-
ing to his works." I do not comprehend how 
the wicked are rewarded in degree, accord-
ing to their works, if all suffer alike, i e., 
one suffer the same penalty for one unjust 
act, as another for years of injustice, murder, 
etc. "These shall go away into everlasting 
punishment, but the righteous into everlast-
ing life." Matt. 25 : 46. ,(Bible Union.) If 
the Saviour meant this punishment to be 
death, it appears to me he would have said 
something more like it. The angel Gabriel 
told Daniel, 12 : 2, "Many of them that 
sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, 
some to everlasting life, and some to shame 
and everlasting contempt." "Shall be tor-
mented day and night forever and ever." 
Rev. 20 : 10. Can the dead be tormented, 
if only unconscious ? "The Son of man shall 
send forth his angels, and they shall gather 
out of his kingdom all things that offend, and 
theist which do iniquity ; and shall cast them 
into a furnace of fire, there shall be wailing 
and gnashing of teeth." Matt. 13 : 41, 42. 
"The angels shall come forth and sever the 
wicked from among the just ; and shall cast 
them into the furnace of fire ; there shall be 
wailing and gnashing of teeth." vs. 49, 50. 
Wailing and gnashing of teeth must be on 
account of suffering. "But the children of 
the kingdom shall be cast out into outer 
darkness, there shall be weeping and gnash-
ing of teeth." Ch. 8 : 12. "Bind him hand 
and foot and take him away, and cast him 
into oeter darkness, there shall be weeping 
and gnashing• of teeth." Ch. 22 : 13. Mark 
9 : 44, 46, 48. "Where their worm dieth not, 
and the fire is not quenched." And Iss last 
66 : 24, "For their worm shall not die, 
neither shall their fire be quenched." 
Now-I am ignorant of the use of language 
if these texts do riot indicate distress and 
misery continued. "Tormented," "Tormented 
forever and ever," (to the ages of ages.) I 
know what is said of destruction, perish, etc., 
they do not always mean the same in effect, 
but are comparatively so ; and I do not say 
they do not mean death ; and whoever says 
they do mean death, does not impress my 
mind that -he has a superior knowledge, for 
either opinion rests upon inference, not on the 
positive assertion of the Word of God. Hob-
bies are not at all profitable ; but make as 
great a hobby as you please of repentance 
toward God, and faith in the Lord Jesus 
Christ ; and of holiness, and conformity to 
the will of God. This will do good : but ig- 
nore the hobbies of opinion, for one opinion 
may be about as good as another, and neither 
the one nor the other do the possessor the 
least good, nor at all benefit others. Hold 
up Jesus ! preach Jesus ! He is the All-suf-
ficient good, by which all can be benefitted. 
But he is not always the most prominently 
presented to sinner's as their only hope for 
future good, and to saints as their chief joy. 
Jesus ! blessed name ! How it thrills my very 
soul, and rejoices my heart ! Worship him, 
all ye saints ! Yea, all the angels of God 
worship and adore him ! I repeat, 1 do not 
expect every one to believe as I do. My 
opinion is no criterion for others. Believing 
as I do, and most sincerely, does not make 
opinion right ; and I earnestly pray that I 
may not hold and cherish an error for an er-
roneous opinion may, and often does, lead to 
bad results. Jesus says, "Take heed what 
ye hear," and in so doing, we shall take heed 
what we believe. The saints (as well as the 
watchman,) will, I think, "all see eye to eye, 
when the Lord brings again. Zion." Then 
we shall know even as we are known, and 
perhaps we shall be surprised at many of our

WHY NOT TO-DAY ! 
Reader, you hope very likely to be a real 
Christian sometime, and fit to go to heaven. 
You hope to repent and believe on Christ, 
and have a good hope before you die. But 
why not to-day? 
What is to prevent you ? Why should 
you wait any longer ? Why not this day 
awake and call upon your God, and resolve 
that you will sleep no longer ? I set before 
you Jesus Christ the Saviour, who died to 
make atonement for sinners ; Jesus who is 
able to save to the uttermost ; Jesus willing 
to receive. :The hand that was nailed to the 
cross is held out to you in mercy. The eye 
that wept over Jerusalem is looking on you 
with pity. The voice that has said to many 
a wanderer, "Thy sins are forgiven," is say-
ing to you, "Come unto me." Go to Jesus 
first and foremost, if you would know what 
step to take. Think not to wait for repent-
ance and faith and a new heart, but go to 
him just as you are. 0, awake thou that 
sleepest, and Christ shall give thee light. 
Why not to-day_? Sun, moon and stars are 
all witness against you ; they continue accord-
ing to God's ordinances, and you are ever 
transgressing them. The grass, the birds, 
the very worms of the earth, are all witness-
ing against you ; they fill their place in the

dinances are continually witnessing against

of godly relations are witnessing against you ; 
others are sorrowful thinking you have a soul, 
though y ou seem to forget it. The very 
gravestones that you see every week are wit-
nessing against you ; they are silently wit-
nessing, "Life is uncertain, time is short, the

FOREIGN NEWS. 
RUSSELL.-The Policy of the New Minis-
try and the American Question.—Earl Rus-
sell attended the Lord Mayor's banquet on 
the 16th. In a speech, he paid a tribute to 
the memory of Palmerston. Adverting to 
the reconstruction of the Cabinet, he said be 
had received the fullest support from his col-
leagues, adding that he trusted the country 
would allow the government time to consider 
the course they ought to pursue, and he 
should abide by the principles of his life. The 
government deemed it their duty to consult 
the wishes of the people, and it would be for 
Parliament to consider how far those wishes 
were based ou justice. 
He thanked God the 
American war was over ; and he trusted the 
republic, now free from the sin of slavery, 
'would go on and prosper for centui ies to come. 
But error began very early in the Chris-
tian Church, even in the apostles' days, and 
has been increasing ever since, so that now, 
there are probably more sects (parties) and 
opinions, in religious matters, than ever has 
been in any age heretofore, since the Lord 
gave the Holy Spirit on the day of Pente-
cost. The knowledge of this fact should lead 
us to great humility. But does it ? It is 
not apparent that it does. Every new idea 
(arid they are frequent,) seems to its posses-
sor important, and is often proudly, and some-
what defiantly presented as necessary to be 
believed, in order to be a true and acceptable 
Christian. I say proudly, because pride is 
plainly manifested in the presentation, defiant 
of proof to the contrary; arid this is the more 
to be regretted, as some have made these 
points of inference, or at least some of them, 
a test of Christian fellowship. What benefit 
results from such teachings, what glory to 
God, or honor to his Word of truth, is more 
than I know. 
Now, some of my much esteemed Advent 
brethren strenuously maintain the opinicn 
that the soul or spirit dies with the body, or 
becomes unconscious, and remains so until 
the resurrection, when, if wicked, it is with 
the body, destroyed. "Be as though it had 
not been," i. e., annihiliated. It is unneces-
sary for me to state the evidences which are 
claimed in support of these opinions ; they 
are pretty well known, and-are very confi-
dently asserted as positive and very import-
ant truth. I look upon this as an opinion 
based upon inference, which, of course, ad-
mits of doubt, and should not be used as a 
THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN AND THE 
FENIANS.-Dr. Cullen has issued a pastoral 
letter to his clergy, in which, with character-
istic obtuseness, he lumps together Fenians 
and Orangemen, Ribbonmen and Freema-
sons, all of whoin he pronounces to be anath-
ema rnaranatha. He is very severe on Feni-
anism. He denounces it as "a compound of 
folly and wickedness"—"the work of a few 
fanatics or knaves." He considers that the 
suppression of the Irish people entitles the 
Government to "the thanks and gratitude of 
all those who love Iceland, its peace, and its 
religion." 
THE YOUTH'S VISITOR. 
The Visitor is to be published twice a 
month during the year 1866. 
This will double the cost of its publication, 
and will of. course require twice as much 
means as before. The price of paper is still 
up, and the cost of type setting is increased. 
And yet we only ask the same twenty-five 
cents a copy we did when it was published 
once a month. 
WHAT WE WANT-ATTENTION, DOERS ! 
We want every one of you to take hold 
of this Youth's Visitor, and resolve that the 
list shall be raised to 5000 copies. Will you 
do it ? You can if you will. Only be all at 
it, and it will be done. Let each one who 
loves the Visitor, see how many you can get 
to subscribe for it. 
CLUBS. 
Every one who will send us one dollar and 
a half for five paying subscricers, shall have 
a copy gratis. 
The postage is no more for nine copies in 
a bundle to one address than for one paper. 
It is important in order to save postage to 
have all subscribers at one Post Office sent 
in one parcel. If we write the name of each 
subscriber in a bundle on the paper, it sub-
jects each paper to full postage. They must 
therefore go to one address, and be distribut-
ed by some one there. Most country" post-
masters will, if kindly requested, keep a list 
of the names and distribute them. 
It is especially important that our subscri-
bers in the Provinces should make their bun-
dles as large as they eau. They should not 
be less than two, if it is possible to get them. 
AGENTS. 
We appoint as special agents for the 
Youth's Visitor, 
All the members of the Do Society. 
All Sunday school scholars. 
. 3. All Sunday school teachers and super-
intendents. 
All ministers of the gospel and mein-
bers of the various churches and congrega• 
tions. 
And if there are any outside of these 
four classes, we give them a commission ex-
traordinary. 
Now to the work as soon and earnestly as 
possible, and swell up a good list before 
Christmas, as we want to put the Visitor to 
press soon after that. If you are not in in sea-
son, you must not complain if you don't get 
back numbers. We are always glad to supply 
new subscribers with back numbers if we can, 
but it is better to be prompt and begin with the 
year, so we need not be obliged to work in 
the dark. 
We expect the paper to grow better and 
better every month. sall
asss. 
WHO WILL WRITE FOR THE VISITOR ? 
Our readers will all see at once that it'will 
be twice the work to furnish matter than it 
has been in the past, and we expect our 
friends to help in this department, by writing 
and picking up items. Will you do it ? It 
will greatly lighten the Editor's labor, and 
add interest to the paper.

THE KING OF ZION'S HILL. 
This is the title of a piece of poetry on our 
first pages, by Elder J. M. Orrock. It was 
written to be sung to the tune of "The 
Sword of Bunker Hill," one of the most 
touching pieces of music before the public. 
This piece sung in that tune can scarcely 
fail to electrify an audience. 
The music is published by Mr. Tolman of 
this city, and ire informs us that it is one of 
his most successful pieces. We endeavored 
to obtain the privilege of printing it with 
words suited to our wants, but could not 
without paying far more than we can ever 
realize from it. We can, however, furnish 
it for 35 cents a copy. 
The new words are peculiarly adapted to 
Christmas celebrations, either to be sung or 
spoken. The poem is also well adapted to 
impress the great doctrine of our Lord's glo-
rious reign. It is by singing such sentiments 
in appropriate music, we may impress the 
glorious doctrine of the coming reign of "The 
King of Zion's Hill," on the. public mind. 
The hymn itself would make an excellent 
tract for general distribution. It should be 
circulated, read and sung everywhere, all 
over the land. Cannot some of our compos-
ers give us a soul-stirring melody for it which 
we can publish ? If the sentiment of the 
hymn is true, it is a truth worthy of being 
proclaimed upon the house-top, and all who 
believe it should talk it, sing it, pray it, 
preach it, and live it. 
Our King is worthy of this honor. To us 
it is as real that Jesus of Nazareth will reign 
forever on Zion's hill, as it is that David, his 
great ancester, did reign there, or that Na-
poleon III. reigns in France. The stern 
conflict described in the Bible, which is to 
precede and introduce this reign seems to 
rise before our mental vision as a thing on 
which we are now about to enter. It is a 
war from which there is no discharge, no re-
treat, no desertion, but each will have to 
stand in his lot, on one or the other side. 
When our Lord claimed the throne 1800 
years ago, the forces of Rome arid Judea 
combined to defeat the attempt, and put him 
to death. But will the world be any better 
prepared to receive him when he shall come 
the second time ? All the descriptions of 
the event given in the Bible indicate that 
they will not. It is a fearful rebellion in 
which the human race are engaged, and there 
is no probability of its being abandoned be-
fore the Deliverer of the saints takes to him-
self his great power and reigns. 
Be not ashamed, then, to stand up for Je-
sus, the King of Zion's hill. Confess his

P. S. Our meeting at Marlboro', last

present was estimated at about 500. Our 
subject was, "Christ's Second Advent, Per-

of God, and of the Church on this subject.

THE SIEGE OF MATAMORA S.—At the 
late siege of Matamoras by the Liberal 
forces, quite a number of officers and men of 
the white brigade of the United States army 
were inspired by the gallantry of the charge, 
of which they were witnesses from the Ameri-
can side, and of which an account has been 
given, to give vent to enthusiastic cheers, 
whereupon four shots were deliberately fired 
at the assembled group from the Imperial 
stenmer Pisano, through whose agency alone 
the attack of the Liberals was defeatLd. 
We have no information as the casualties 
consequent upon this strange procedure. 
The following item, which we clip from 
the Revival, concerning the man who has 
done so much evil to the cause of our Lord 
Jesus Christ in the United States, will be 
read with heart-felt gratitude by many dis-
ciples of Jesus : 
From our friend Mr. Reginald Radcliffe 
we learn that, a few evenings since, he pre-
sided at a meeting held in time Music Hall 
Chester, whilst Mr. Barker, the former no-
torious infidel lecturer, related the cause and 
course of his wanderings, and of his restora-
tion to his Father's love through Christ Je-
sus. "It was," Mr. Radcliffe says, "one of 
the most interesting and instructive addresses 
I have heard for a long time, most conclusiv-
ly• convincing to infidels and most instructive 
to everybody. He will have to undergo, no 
doubt, intense prejudice ; but, if he were the 
greatest hypocrite (and I believe him to be 
sincere,) such a lecture as I heard, by a 
former infidel, would tend to tear infidelity 
to shreds."

FROM SISTER EMMA SWARTZ. 
Positive information is Io the effect that 
the relations of our Government with France 
and England are entirely satisfactory. There 
is no possibility of serious disturbance. Na-
poleon's speculation in Mexico is unpopular 
with the French, and he will withdraw his 
forces from Mexico as soon as he can do so 
without compromising his dignity. 
The Spanish Minister read to the Secreta-
ry of State a dispatch concerning the slave 
trade, replete with the most emphatic exple-
tives expressing opposition to the outrageous 
traffic, and pledging the most earnest efforts 
of the Spanish government for its extirpation. 
Napoleon III. is reported to be inclined to 
abandon his Mexican project, but one should 
be careful how one speaks on the subject, for 
not only are all that deep-minded man's plans 
kept well to himself; bnt the Mexican busi-
ness is something that we long since gave up 
any hope of understanding ; and what we do 
say on it is always said under correction. Its 
phases change faster than a politician's opin-
ions, or the wind, or the weather, or whatever 
else there is that is most changeable. But 
let that pass. The Belgians have got up a 
sort of alarm on the subject of their imperial 
neighbors's intentions toward their country. 
It seems to be feared—perhaps some of them 
hope—that the emperor means to seize Bel-
gium as soon as King Leopold shall depart 
this life,—and he is seventy-five, and sickly. 
This may be all a delusion, but still it is not 
without some show of reason that the belief 
exists. Belgium was one of the richest por-
tions of Napoleon L's possessions, and Napole-
on III. has au "idea" that it is his duty to 
regain what his uncle lost. Then it lies 
"mighty convenient" to be taken, so that it 
is as great a temptation to the „emperor as 
Naboth's vineyard was to King Ahab. If 
he should resolve upon having Belgium, the 
emperor could overrun it, and incorporate it 
with France, before any power in Europe 
could make an effective movement in pre-
vention of his purpose. Probably no Euro-
pean power but England would object to his 
taking it, provided he should be as compla-
cent to designs which they have, or are sup-
posed to have, at heart. Let the continental 
powers agree among themselves, and there 
would be nothing more easy than for them to 
have their way. England might be "count-
ed out" of the Pentarchy, and the more read-
ily, because she is disliked by all its other 
members, even Napolean III. caring no 
more for her than as it answers his ends to 
have the world believe that she is his ally, 
or his dependency. 
I rejoice in the glorious hope of Jesus soon 
coming to redeem his people from this sin-
cursed earth ; to restore it to all its Edemiic 
loveliness amid beauty, and establish his ever-
lasting kingdom upon it. 
May I, with all' God's people, be faithful 
to the trust committed to my care ; ever fear-
lessly confess Christ and his truth, before a 
wicked and gain-saying world, exert an in-
fluence for good upon those around me, amid 
at last with all the ransomed blood-washed 
throng, be presented faultless before the 
throne, to praise "him who bath loved us, 
amid given himself for us," is the sincere desire 
and prayer of your unworthy sister in the 
blessed hope.

WHAT OUR MINISTERS MOST NEED.—It is 
IMPERIAL STEAMER FIRED INTO FROM 
THE AMERICAN SIDE.—According to the 
Matamoras Ranchero, the Imperial steamer 
Antonio was on Nov. 7th, fired into from the 
Northern bank of the Rio Grande, near 
where Cortinas had been encamped. The 
same paper maintained that the Liberals, 
film whom the fire preceeded, were dressed 
in Federal uniforms. The Government in 
Washington has not yet received any con-
firmation of this report. 
Colonel Bravo, a bearer of dispatches from 
Juarez to the United States Government, 
arrived in Kansas City on Nov. 25th, and 
left immediately for Washington. Colonel 
Bravo asserts that the Liberal forces still 
number 50,000 men, and that, as soon as the 
means are raised, 75,000 can be put in the 
field. 
GENERAL OTMAN HASHEM, Ambassador 
from they Bey of Tunis, arrived in Boston 
on the 17th, and received a warm welcome 
from our city authorities, and also from many 
distinguished citizens. A Tunisian Ambas-
sador, Sidi Soliman Melymely, was here in 
1806, and made a very favorable impression. 
Gen. Hashem came to this country on a mis-
sion of congratulation and condolence,—to 
congratulate our government on its victory 
over the rebels, and to condole with it on the 
death of President Lincoln. He is much ad-
mired, and returns to Tunis greatly pleased 
with this country. Our relations with Tunis 
have always been good, with a slight excep-
tion in 1805 and that Beylik has ever been 
the most liberal of all the States of Barbary. 
prohibiting slavery in the United States, thus 
conferring upon Congress the power to sur-
round the freedmen with all the protection 
due to citizens. 
As to the question of suffrage he did not 
think that we should do in too much hurry. 
If he had asked ten years ago what compro-
mise he would have made, lie would have 
said, "give us emancipation at the end of 
twenty years, and I will be satisfied." Now, 
by the most wonderful interposion of Divine 
Providence in the order of events, we had 
emancipation declared and adopted as a fixed 
principle, amid he had no fears for the future, 
even if we did not get so far as conferring 
the right of suffrage upon the freed people. 
For himself, he was free to confess that he 
was in favor of manhood suffrage : he believ-
ed in the doctrine that "A man's a man for a' 
that." He related the anecdote of the Con-
vention which met in the early history of this 
State to frame a Constitution, at which the 
question of suffrage came up for discussion 
on the proposition that in order to be entitled 
to a vote a man must be possessed of £50, 
when Benjamin Franklin, who was noted for 
making short speeches, rose and said, if a 
man owned a jackass, for which he had paid 
the sum of £50, he would be entitled to vote, 
but if the jackass should die to-morrow, his 
right to vote would cease ; who, then, had 
been enfranchised—the man or the jackass ? 
As to the fears entertained by many that if 
the South should gain power in Congress, lie 
must say they were powerless. The South 
never could gain the ascendency in Congress 
again. Their population was not equal to 
such a consumation ; besides their resources 
were scattered, amid they would now have 
to apply themselves to the restoration of their 
fields and their fortunes. It was unworthy 
of the Northern people who had been so 
gallant and victorious on the battle field to 
anticipate that the Southern people would be 
smarter than them in statesmanship. Ile 
was willing to trust our statesmen and their 
statesmen in Congress. Besides, he remem-
bered that slavery was blotted out and there 
was now no issue between the sections, noth-
ing indeed to make us sections. There was 
no longer a Mason and Dixon's line to divide 
our interests; we were one in all that per-
tained to the national weal. The Confederate 
debt troubled some minds. It was feared 
that we would be saddled with the Confeder- j 
Bro. Litch notice Dr. Gunner's state- 
ment of what he did not say at the Water-
bury Conference, and as Reporter I stand 
corrected. I am only surprised, considering 
the circumstances under which I was obliged 
to report the doings and sayings of that day, 
that I did not make greater mistakes. I was 
entirely unfit, owing to the state of my health 
to report at all, and in great measure relied 
upon others. I trust this will be sufficient 
apology, both to your readers and Dr. Gun-
ner for having misstated his remarks. As 
the Doctor is silent as to what lie did say, 
that portion of the Report must be omitted 
in reading. Yours truly. 
body, the general suffrage would have fallen 
upon him. On every occasion his opinion 
had great weight, whether in the open Sen- 
ate or in the informal deliberation which of-
ten precede the settlement of important 
measures. He was got a frequent speaker, 
and he spoke always after mature delibera-
tion ; and although always with a conscious- 
ness of the weight of his arguments, and the 
value of his judgments, yet without attempt 
at display, and with no meretricious aids of 
oratory. He was listened to with a respect 
and attention seldom shown to speakers in 
Congress, for every one knew that he spoke 
only when he had something to say, and that 
whatever he had to say was worth hearing. 
Whenever lie addressed the Senate, it was 
always upon matters actually under consid-
eration, and with the purposes of influencing 
those who heard him. He never spoke for 
"Buncombe." No man could have a greater 
contempt for that oratory which is intended 
to exalt the reputation of the speaker, not 
to affect the judgment of the listeners. 
Judge Collamer was a man of simple and 
sincere piety, a member, we believe a deacon, 
of the Presbyterian or Congregational 
church, and illustrated, in his public and in 
his private life, the faith he professed. He 
had the virtues and was not without the 
prejudices of the Puritans, and was such a 
man as could have been produced only in 
New England. He always gave an intelli-
gent and never a careless vote. His con-
tempt of humbug and pretension sometimes 
betrayed him into sharp retorts, but never 
into intentional injustice. His death, al-
though occurring at a time when it might 
have been expected, in the course of nature, 
comes too soon for his country, and is a 
public calamity. A wise man, a faithful pub-
lic counsellor, a devoted patriot, has died full 
of years and of honors, yet with his intellec-
tual vigor untouched by age, and in the full 
career of his usefulness. He leaves behind 
him an honorable memory and a precious 
example. 
growing plain to many, that what we need 
now is not more literature and science in our 
pulpits, but more earnest piety ; higher spir-
ituality ; more reliance on the truth as it is 
in Jesus ; more prevailing prayer for the 
Holy Spirit's effectual working. We need a 
race of ministers trained to the great idea of 
the apostles and reformers, that God has fur-
nished in the Scriptures the armory with 
which alone victories can be won. Away 
with the idea that our ministers are to pre-
vail by human might or worldly wisdom.

men nearest to God as their teacher and

MOSES L. DUDLEY. 
"Dr. Maxwell and Dr. Douglas left Amoy 
on the 26th of May, and soon after estab- 
lished themselves in Tai-wan-foo, the capital 
of the island, having met with a Most friendly 
reception from the people. But their very 
success, particularly in healing the sick, 
stirred up the determined opposition of the 
literary class, of whom some thousands were 
at that time gathered in the capital for the 
literary examinations. It was easy by means 
of monstrous libels placarded on the walls to 
poison the minds of the people against our 
missionaries. On one occasion they were 
pelted with stones by a mob, then their land- 
lord was threatened for harboring them, and 
at length, on the afternoon of Sabbath, the 
9th of July, their house was besieged by the 
populace, and serious consequences were im-
minent. Dr. Maxwell writes :—'Having 
shut, bolted, and otherwise secured the door, 
against which the crowds kept pressing, we 
commended ourselves, our helpers, and those 
who had stood by us since the riot com-
menced, in prayer to God, and waited as pa-
tiently as we could for some news from the 
mandarin, to whom we had sent repeated 
urgent messages for assistance. After about 
two hours from the beginning of the disturb-
ance he at length appeared, and with his at-
tendants entered the chapel.' The result 
was, that after the most urgent remonstrances, 
they were obliged to promise to leave the 
city within three days, as the only condition 
on which protection could be afforded them 
from the enraged mob. They left the capi-
tal, but not the island, for four days after-
wards they established themselves in Takao, 
a thriving town on the sea-coast, at once re-
suming their labors of preaching and healing 
under much discouragement, thirty or forty 
patients attending daily, with attentive audi-
ences of twenty or thirty people as long as 
they had time and strength to speak. They 
have hope, also, that the work in Tai-wan-foo 
has not been in vain. 'Two men who were 
present on the Sabbath morning mentioned 
above stood by us all through the afternoon, 
and shared our danger. It was a great grief 
to them that we should be compelled to 
leave, and next day they both of them came 
back again to express their sympathy with 
us, and to take their leave of us. They 
promised to meet together on the Sabbath 
for joint worship.' And Mr. Douglas a few 
days later expresses his strong conviction of 
the necessity of occupying both Takao and 
Tai-wan-foo as mission stations, as the latter 
will soon be open again, and therefore 'in-
stead of our temporary discomfiture at the 
city being a cause for the Committee and the 
Church at home making less effort for For-
mosa, it makes our ease all the more urgent 
for one missionary at least immediately, and 
as soon as possible another.' " 
'We have gratifying accounts from other 
parts of China. An inquiring spirit is ex-
hibited by the people, and there is an urgent 
call for more laborers. Details of the work 
are given in the English Presbyterian Mes-

THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE NOT A BEER-
SHOP.—Mr Lincoln used about one o'clock 
to order the shop door thrown open to all 
sorts of customers, and men and women went 
in, as Brick expresses it, "quite promiscus 
like." Sitting behind his desk he heard one 
story after another, told his share, and trans-
lated business in the hearing of the whole 
crowd. One day a man presented a paper 
which Mr. Lincoln looked at, and then to the 
astonishment of the whole room-full, be 
turned to the petetioner and asked sharply : 
"Look here 1 What do you take me for, any-
how ? Do you think I keep a beer-shop ? 
Take that thing out o' here." It turned out 
that the man was a sutler, or some sort of a 
camp follower, who wanted to sell ale (and 
what the soldiers call "can peaches,") inside 
the army lines, and he was making an ap-
peal from some obstinate brigadier to the 
Executive. Mr. Lincoln transacted business 
with these and all kinds of petitioners - very 
rapidly. If an imploring womnn cried over 
a peremptory "No," h would say : "Now 
what's this for ? nobody has hurt you ; you 
come here to-morrow, and I'll see about your 
case again." To men who brought long pe-
titions, strips of paper four or five feet in 
length, his usual answer was : "I'm not go-
ing to read that." "Why not ?" says the 
petitioner. "Why, if all these things were 
read it would take fifty Presidents to do 
the business." "But this once," urges the 
petitioner ; "do just read mine." "Read 
That !" and here the long arm would hold 
out the strip at arm's length. "Why, I don't 
expect to live long enough to read it 
through ;" then a jolly laugh, in which the 
whole crowd would respectfully assist. And 
then perhaps, after all, with a little more 
persuasion, "Well, leave the thing ; I'll try 
to look at it." The kind-hearted President 
said "yes" if he could, and his "no's" were 
generally softened with a small joke or sonic 
good advice.—Post.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. — Time 
Legislatures of both North and South Caro-
linas have adopted the congressional amend-
ment to the Constitution of the United States 
forever prohibiting slavery or involuntary 
servitude except fbr crime. 
until three years after the establishment of 
the Southern Confederacy, and it was riot 
customary for people of business habits to 
pay their debts before they became due. 
There was a work yet to be done by the 
American people. We should now apply 
ourselves to the cultivation of benevolence ; 
of taking care of the intellectual, moral and 
religious interests of our young men. Libra-
ries and reading rooms should be established 
all over the land ; places of resort where our 
young men who have fought our battles so 
bravely might gather themselves together 
and elevate themselves in all the arts and 
sciences which would enhance them as mem-
bers of society. 
The Bishop paid a lofty tribute to the 
women of America, whom he recognized as 
the ministering angels of the Republic, who 
everywhere surrounded us, comforting and 
strengthening us in the performance of our 
sterner duties. As they have ministered to 
our soldiers in the hospitals during the war, 
so he would urge them to turn their attention 
to the ministry of love and kindness in time 
of peace. This was the time when educators 
and philanthropists should be busy surround-
ing society with those safeguards which were 
at once the glory and the strength of the 
American nation. 
He closed with a soul stirring apostrophe 
to the flag, praying that no stain might ever 
deface it, and that not a star should ever be

PROGRESS OF THE GOSPEL IN ITALY.—
At the last meeting of the Evangelical Alli-
ance, Pastor Revel, President of the Walden-1 BISHOP 
sian College in Florence made the following 
statements respecting the progress of Evan-
gelical sentiments in Italy : 
Twenty years ago, or less, not a traveller 
was allowed to enter this popish country 
with a Bible now, at Brescia, at Milan, in 
Pavia, in Como, in Piedmont, where, at the 
principal station, Turin, there are at least 
400 converts from the Church of Rome, four 
schools, and a handsome church ; in Alessan-
dria, "where," says Pastor Revel, "the room 
was full inside and out," amid the Roman 
priest attempting a procession was followed 
by five persons, and sneaked out of sight ; 
in Genoa, with its three schools and large 
congregation ; in Elba; in Lucca ; in Na-
ples, with its eight schools ; in Palermo, the 
work goes bravely on. But Florence is the 
centre of their operations ; where five men in 
America and Great Britain sent three £1,-
000 each, and two £5000, for establishing a 
church, school and printing-press. Last year 
they printed 25,000 copies of the New Testa-
ment, 10,000 of Pilgrim's Progress, 60,000 
of the Evangelical Almanacs. They had 
250 agents, 20 ministers, 5 lay evangelists, 
and 25 teacners. 
SIMPSON ON THE FUTURE OF 
OUR COUNTRY. 
Torropandrate. 
THE COMING CONFERENCE. 
Elder Moses L. Dudley, of Farnham, Can-
ada East, died of bilious typhoid fever, Nov. 
15, 1865. From a book which is before me, 
entitled Dudley Genealogies, it appears that 
be was a lineal descendant of the Hon. Thom-
as Dudley, first Deputy Governor, and sec-
ond Governor of Massachusetts, who came 
front England in 1630, amid was from a noble 
family formerly of Dudley Castle, Stafford-
shire. I learn from the same book that our 
dear brother was born Nov. 20, 1803, at 
New Hampton, N. H., so that if lie hind lived 
five days longer, he would have been sixty-
two years of age. He made a profession of 
religion at the age of seventeen, and soon 
received license as a local preacher in the 
Methodist Episcopal church. At the age of 
twenty-one he came to Lower Canada, where 
he connected himself with the Wesleyan 
Methodists, and was employed as a local 
preacher. Some years after, a number of lo-
cal preachers resigned on account of real or 
supposed grievance, and he was of the num-
ber. Being from his conversion a Baptist in 
sentiment, he next joined the Freewill Bap-
tists, among whom he was ordained. In the 
end of 1842, or the beginning of 1843, while 
listening to the writer, his mind became fa-
vorably impressed with the doctrines of our 
Lord's pre-milletwial and speedy coming. 
Since then he has been fully identified with 
the people known as Adventists; and has 
been a paying subscriber to the _Advent Her-
ald. 
From the first of my acquaintance with 
him, which was in 1839, I have noticed that 
he has cherished amid manifested a kind and 
fraternal spirit toward all Christians. He 
could most heartily pray, "Grace be with all 
them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sin- 
cerity." He seemed ever to feel that the re-
deemed are one family, and that the follow- 
ers of Jesus are "one body." If all were like 
him, it would not be difficult to bring about 
a practical manifestation of the unity of the 
body of Christ. But as matters are, all that 
can be done in that direction is to cultivate 
the spilkof the thing, and furnish a testimo-
ny in its favor. 
Our departed brcther was sound in the 
faith, a sincere Christian, and a most exem- 
plary man. And as might be expected, his 
end was peace. I was with him in his sick-
ness, and when he died, amid I may truly say 
that it was a privilege to be present, for, 
"The chamber where the good man meets his fate 
Is privileged beyond the common walks of life, 
Quite on the verge of heaven." 
There was a calm, peaceful trust in Jesus. 
Though in great suffering, he said, 
"Jesus can make a dying bed, 
Feel soft as downy pillows are, 
While on his breast I lean my head, 
And breathe my life out sweetly there." 
His mind was also on the good of others. 
Once when left alone with him, I heard him 
very earnest with God for some one, plead-
ing that he might be saved. lie spoke to me 
words of kindness and sympathy, evincing a 
love for one he was about to leave. He 
spoke too of the Lord's coming, and of the 
kingdom. When he was fast sinking, and 
the powers of life were running low, he raised 
his hands, and meekly said, "I have fought a 
good fight, I have finished my course, I have 
kept the faith." Then, summoning all his 
strength, he exclaimed, "All is well, and all 
is over." And soon he peacefully went to 
rest. 
He leaves a wife, an adopted daughter, a 
son-in-law, three brothers, and other relatives 
to mourn. May they all so fully know Christ 
that they can avail themselves of the comfort 
which the gospel affords. 
At the request of this dear brother, I 
preached at his funeral, taking as my text, 
Rev. 21 : 4, which presents a tearless, death- 
Lawrence, Ka., Dec. 1.—A party of 200 
Cheyenne and Apache Indians attacked the 
coach on the Butterfield express route on 
Sunday last, near Downes' Spring, and killed 
six passengers and the express messenger, 
named Merwin. After burning the express 
coach, the Indians went to Downes' Spring 
and Bluff Station, and burned all the build-
ings around them and destroyed all the goods 
stored in the buildings. They also destroyed 
a considerable amount of other property. 
One of the passengers killed three savages, 
but was afterwards shot, and his body burned 
over a slow fire. 
_spirit of modern times. M. Darboy has an-
swered the Empeior's expectations. His 
discourses and acts, whether as archbishop, 
grand- chaplain, or senator, bear habitually 
the impress of moderation. While faithful 
to the fundamental doctrines of his Church, 
he respects the rights of the civil power, and 
labors to obtain the confidence of men of en-
lightened understanding. In a word, M. 
Darboy is a Galilean prelate. This mode of 
speech and action is highly displeasing to 
the Jesuits, the Ultramontanes, and all the 
bigoted devotes of Rome. They do not dare 
openly to attack M. Darboy in their own or-
gan, La Monde, because they would thus 
draw upon themselves the • severities of the 
civil power ; but they have recourse, accord-
ing to their old custom, to pervious insinua-
tions, to secret intrigues and to calumnies' 
more or less disguised, to injure the reputa-
tion of the Archbishop of Paris. Recently, 
this covert hostility has assumed a more of-
fensive and public character. In the course 
of the month of September there was held 
what the Romanists call an ecclesiastical re-
treat ; in other words, a gathering of all the 
cures and priests of the dioceses, who, for 
several days, listened to the instructions of 
their spiritual leaders. Naturally, M. Dar-
boy delivered several addresses on this occa-
sion. Well, the Jesuitical faction have taken 
the opportunity to misrepresent the language 
of the Archbishop. They have pretended 
that M. Darboy, in these conferences, ques-
tioned the utility of the monastic orders, and 
suggested to the representatives of modern 
society an alliance which should subvert the 
principles and the traditions of the Roman 
Church. The Jesuits have even insinuated 
that the prelate had been blamed by the 
Pope, on account of his presence at the fu-
neral of Marshal Magnate one of the digni-
taries of Freemasonry. The Archbishop, in 
Nov. 30th.—"The night express train go- 
reply, has addressed to the editor of Le , 
I 
Monde a brief but firm note, in which he de-
nies these calumnious assertions. The Jesuits 
have published the note, without the addi-
tion of any hostile comment. But the quar-
rel remains, and is yet another proof that the 
unity of which Romanism so loudly boasts 
rests only upon vain appearances. 
ing South, on the Orange and Alexandria 
Railroad, met with a serious and fatal acci-
dent about 12 o'clock last night, half a mile 
east of Warrenton Junction, caused by the 
breaking of a rail which threw the rear 
coach, loaded with members of the 96th New 
York Volunteers, from the track, and precip-
itated it down an embankment, literally 
crushing it to atoms, and instantly killing 
three men and wounding twenty-eight others. 
Worcester, Mass., Dec. 1.—The railroad 
depot in Milford, Mass., was broken into 
last night, the safe blown open, and about 
$100 taken from it. One of the burglars 
was found on the floor this morning with his 
skull fractured by a piece of iron blown from 
the safe. He cannot live through the day. 
The man has not been identified nor any 
trace of his accomplices discovered. 
Investigations show that an electrotype of 
the $100 compound interest note plate was 
obtained before it came into the possession 
of the Treasury Department. 
Dear Bro. Litch :—Perhaps I should have 
said in addition to the call of the brethren 
for a Conference to meet here on the twelfth 
of Dec., that the action of the church here, 
in extending an invitation for this meeting, 
was most spontaneous and unanimous, and 
we shall be disappointed if our brethren from 
abroad do not as freely respond. We are 
abundantly able and prepared to receive and 
accommodate all that will come. 
Let none deprive themselves of this oppor-
tunity of contributing by their presence and 
action to a revival of this long neglected and 
much needed organization. It is particular-
ly desirable that there be a geneous response 
to this first meeting, as it will greatly assist 
in establishing its permanency, and prepare 
the way for future interest and success. 
Come, brethren both of the ministry and 
laity. Let none fail to come that can possi-
bly attend. The interests of our cause in 
Westboro' and of the cause at large, claim 
your presence at this meeting. And come 
in the name and power of our liVing, trium-
phant Head. We said to the church when 
laying before them the question of inviting 
the Conference here, that the purpose of 
creating this organization was not to discuss 
dry, abstract, and foolish questions, but to 
consider vital practical truths, to relate liv-
ing experience, and to stir up each other to 
"increased activity in the cause we love." 
And we have no hesitancy in concluding 
that this will be the actuating and govern-
ing principle with every brother and sister 
who shall attend. We all expect it, time 
and circumstances demand it. We wish to 
turn this meeting to practical account, and 
make it under God a means of saving sin-
ners, and promoting truth. 
Pray for us brethren, and for the success 
of this meeting. 
The influences operating ,against us are 
formidable, but we trust that we are at peace 
among ourselves,*and are united in this mat-
ter. We are brands plucked from the fire, 
but I hope living ones. We love the truth, 
and talk the truth, and are striving to live 
THE CONVENIENCE OF WIT . —A mar- 
ketman was driving to Medford on Wednes-
day afternoon and overtook an individual en-
closed in ei-inoline upon the road who asked 
him for a ride, which he granted. While 
getting into the wagon with a valise in hand 
the marketman noticed that his companion 
wore rather heavier boots than females are 
accustomed to enclose their feet in. Visions 
of murder, robbery, garroting, and kindred 
crimes flashed through the marketman's mind. 
The driver dropped his whip, and asked the 
crinoline to get out and return it.. The crin-
oline did so, and the marketman drove off in 
great hasti. When out of danger's reach he 
examined the valise and found that it con-
tained two revolvers, a bottle of chloroform 
and a handkerchief. He thinks his wits 
saved him that tine. 
AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA in the Frankfortl 
affair appears to strengthen the impression 
that the great powers mean to extinguish the 
minor ones. The letters of Counts Mens-
dorff and Bismark, condemning the govern-
ment of Frankfort for allowing the delegates 
from German Diets to assemble within its 
jurisdiction, and to criticise caustically the 
action of Prussia in the matter of the 
Duchies,—which is the same thing as criti-
cising Austria's action, the two powers being 
at one in the business,—are most insolent, 
and frankly tell the Frankforters that they 
will be summarily dealt with on a repetition 
of the offence. No such revolutionary do-
ing will be tolerated by the lords of so ,many 
legions. So they say at Berlin and Vienna, 
and they are strong enough in those cities to 
shot their threats. And what say they at 
Frankfort ? We have but two lines as to 
their answer to the arrogant demands of 
Kaiser and Konig, and they are to the effect 
that a refusal was returned. How the two 
counts must have stared when they received 
such an answer They must have thought

Since that time our armies had triumphed,

counting rooms, in our great manufactories, 
and at work on our railroads and on our 
prairies, all cultivating the arts of peace and 
contributing to the onward march of the 
nation to future greatness and power. The 
Bishop then reviewed the vast resources of 
the country, comparing them with European 
countries, and in the light of history fixed 
the American nation as the one which God 
in His providence selected to be the grand 
theatre of democratic government. He next 
proceeded to the consideration of the great 
questions which now interest the people. 
In reference to the pardons which some 
persons thonght the President was lavish-
ing out with too generous a hand, he said he 
had no fears. Many felt alarm because the 
Southern people in not a few instances contin-
ued to grumble ; but he was willing to make 
large allowances for the peoplo who had been 
so signally conquered in a war of their own 
seeking—of their own bringing on. It only 
reminded him of the man whose antagonist 
having whipped him soundly, exclaimed on 
his way home, still smarting under his in-
juries, that lie would whip him for that yet. 
The Richmond Enquirer has recently said 
that it was impossible to dissolve the Union, 
and now it was the duty of all American cit-
izens, particularly those who rebelled against 
the Government, to love the Union first, and 
their own States second. In the presence of 
such testimony from such a source, he did not 
think there was much room to fear. Then 
the Southern States which had been in re-
bellion were fast adopting ordinances declar-
ing that slavery was no longer an institution ; 
and they were one after the other adopting 
the amendment to the Constitution forever 
SOUTH CAROLINA has ratified that amend-
ment of the Constitution of the United States 
which abolishes slavery. This, her Legisla-
ture has done under compulsion, as it has 
become plain to the Palmetto men that they

THE MASSACHUSETTS CONFERENCE 
OF CHURCHES. 
It will be remembered by some, that in 
1853 an organization was effected, know 
by the name of the Massachusetts Con-
ference of Advent Churches, holding its first 
meeting at Lawrence, Mass. This organiza-
tion was successfully continued a number of 
years ; until a variety of causes operated to 
its discontinuance. Recently, many have 
urged a revival of this organization, and the 
undersigned have united in calling a meeting 
at Westboro', Mass., to commence Tuesday, 
Dec. 12, at 22 P. M., and continue till 
Thursday eve, the 14th, to consider the 
propriety and importance of the measure 
proposed. The Pastor and church at West-
boro', have extended a cordial welcome to 
this meeting, and it is very desirable that 
every Advent church in Mass. and vicinity, 
should be represented by chosen delegates: 
and that Advent ministers, ordained, and un-
ordained, should be present at the meeting. 
Brethren of the ministry and laity, let us 
show that we have faith in the truth we 
cherish and preach, by increased activity in 
the cause we love.

"This is too bad," said Mr. Jones. 
"Too bad," said Mr. Brown, "and I 
will tell you, Jones„ what you ought to 
do. You are, most of you, farmers, and 
you ought to pay your subscription in 
butter, cheese, pork or' whatever he 
wants at old prices, or else give him 
twice the amount of money. My sub-
scription- is ten dollars, and he may take 
it in goods out of the store at whatever 
they were worth two years ago, or I 
will pay him twenty." 
"I can't say that there is any injus-
tice in that," was the answer, "and I 
will try to get the people to come to it. 
You pay all other laborers about twice 
the old prices, and I don't know why a 
minister should live on bread and water 
more than other folks.-Morning Slar. 
Turning to the Clog, he continued: 
"I'm a little better to-day, but not 
much. One-morning you will miss me; 
I shall be dead." 
The dog, as though endowed with 
human instinct, gave a low moan, and, 
advancing to his master, placed his huge 
paw, with a gentleness that would hard-
ly have crushed a fly, on Mr. Gurney's 
knee ; and, that done, he raised himself 
on his hind legs, and placed the other 
on Mr. Gurney's shoulder, and licking 
his face, seemed to pat him on his back, 
with an expression which almost said, 
-"Come, come, don't be so down-heart-
ed ! You are very bad, but you'll get 
better by-and-by." 
Mr. Gurney perfectly understood him, 
since he replied : 
"It's no use ; I tell you I shall die." 
The dog moaned again. 
"And now," continued the owner of 
Keswick, "you must go; for I am busy 
with this gentleman." 
The dog looked at his master, then at 
me, and silently left the room. 
HOW DO MINISTERS LIVE IN THESE 
DAYS? 
that time for these visits must be spared 
from my pressing duties. Caroline was 
very hungry as persons in consumption 
often are; but she could not get much 
to eat, her mother told me sadly. Your 
money, dear children, bought oranges 
for her, and broths, and cool drinks. If 
only you could have seen her as she 
tasted them, and could have known 
what a break it made in her dreary days 
of suffering to have these little comforts 
brought, you would be sure it is "more 
blessed to give than to receive." 
A kind doctor to whom her case was 
mentioned went with me to see her and 
ordered a medicine which eased her 
pain for a few days; but soon her feet 
began to swell, and we saw that the end 
was near. I tried to find out what she 
knew of Christ as a Saviour, but her 
mind was tired in sympathy with her 
body, and I could only tell her of his 
love and pray for her. A sick bed is not 
the place to prepare for death. How 
often I thought of that, as I felt her 
burning cheeks and saw the sweat of 
pain stand on her forehead. She could 
think of nothing but her suffering. 
Our landlady sent her chicken broth 
which I think did her good, but nothing 
tasted better than some oyster broth that 
you sent. I borrowed a little pail of 
Hannah and went out before school to 
the market, where for ten cents, I got it 
filled with nice stewed oysters. Betty 
and Julia looked on wistfully while I fed 
Caroline with an old iron spoon-their 
only one-so that when she said "no 
more," I gave Betty one of the oysters, 
and she smacked her lips over it appre-
ciatively. Julia drew back saying, 
"Burn, burn," brit held out her hand, 
so I laid one into her little palm and she 
munched it at her leisure. 
Sometimes as I went to their room 
the children in the street would cry : 
Nigger teacher! nigger teacher! and 
low degraded women who did not know 
that Jesus loved even these little ones, 
would point the finger of ridicule. But 
they found it poor sport and soon de-
sisted. 
Last Sabbath I did not go there, part-
ly because I was engaged all day in 
other directions and partly lest my com-
ing might grow wearisome to the sick 
girl. Mondayl found her sitting on her 
straw bed bracing herself with her 
hands and groaning as if in much pain. 
Her bare feet were swelled to double 
their natural size. She could not move 
them herself; but asked her mother to 
lilt them from place to place on the cold 
floor to relieve the burning. There 
seemed little to do or say. So I set 
down the drink I. had brought, and soon 
went out. Aunt Jane at the next door 
stopped me with, "0 miss, Use mighty 
glad ye's been. The child's been in a 
powerful fret for ye; seems like as if 
she'd been watching for ye ever since ye 
came before. She's been wanting me to 
read like you did, but laws, I don't 
know how !" 
Taking Aunt Jane's Bible I turned 
back at once and sat down on the box 
beside the poor girl. Again I read that 
sweet 23d Psalm, and more of the words 
of Jesus. She listened intently, but I 
little thought that next time it would be 
the voice of the Shepherd himself. Once 
as she coughed badly, she said : "You 
must excuse me, I .can't help it." As I 
rose to go at length and said; "I'll dome 
again in the morning, Caroline, shall 
I ?" She gave me a sweet bright smile, 
the first and the last rever saw on her 
face. 
Next morning Berty was watching 
for me as I went to cl-tool with : "My 
sister's dead, miss." I went directly 
home with her and found the people 
waiting to he told what to do. As best 
I could I gave directions, and after open-
ing school went home and found some 
garments in which to dress her for the 
grave. Two friends gave money for a 
simple shroud, at noon my room-mate 
and I-made it. We bought some white 
ribbon for a little rosette with the last of 
your contribution. These poor people 
appreciate deeply such little things. The 
next day I helped them dress hiir• ; and 
when the white robe was on,Te linen 
collar fastened with the white rosette 
and a sprig of mignonette lay on her 
breast, it was touching to see the grati- 
tude of the poor mothei. mo kind 
Quaker friends arranged the funeral and 
paid the expenses. So that s,1,0 was•not 
carried to the Potter's .ield, but buried 
where her mother could go and visit her 
grave. 
You will be glad to know that your 
money made the last days of this poor 
"contraband" girl a little brighter, and 
I hope you will be encouraged to con-
tinue giving. What we have done for 
others will give us most pleasure, as by 
and by we shall look back ever our 
lives. Sweet above all will be the re-
remembrance of Christ's own words

TO THE PUBLIC. 
The PAIN KILLER has won for itself a reputation unsurpassed in the history of medical preparations. It 
is as well-known in the trading pelts of India and China as in New Yoi le and Boston; and its continual-
ly increasing demand, where it has been longest known, is one of its strongest recommendations and best adver-
tisements. It began to be favorably known in A. D. 1839, and has ever since been gradually growing into 
public favor, till in thousands of families, it has come to be considered an article of such necessity that they 
are never without a supply of it to resort to in case of accident or sudden illness. It is not unfrequently 
said of it :-"We would as soon think of being without flour in the house as without PAIN KILLER." It gives 
immediate relief in case of scald or burn, as well as in the sudden attack of Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or other 
similar affectisn of the bowels ; and, being entirely a vegetable preparation, it is as safe as it is reliable. 
The promptness and certainty with which it acts in relieving all kinds of pain, makes it eminently worthy 
is name-PAIN KILLER-a -name easily understood, and not easily forgotten. 
It is occasionally said of it, by a wise one, (over wise perhaps) that it "cures too many diseases," it 
promises too much." Now we do not come before you to tell you what it can do, simply, but to give you a 
part of the testimony we have received from time to time of what it HAS DONE. In cholera it has been 
eminently successful, curing hundreds of the severest cases; and never, to our knowledge, laving failed in 
a single instance when it was used according to directions in the earlier stages of the disease. 
No medicine has been more successful in curing Fever and Ague, and other diseases incident to our 
western and southern climate. For a sudden Cold it is almost a specific. Rheumatic and Neuralgic affections 
give way to it when all other remedies have failed. It is eminently a FAMILY MEDICINE, and by being kept 
ready for immediate resort in eases of accident or sudden attack of disease, has saved many an hour of suf-
fering, and many a dollar in time and doctors bills. 
We continue to prepare our PAIN KILLER from the best and purest materials, and with a care that insures 
the most perfect uniformity in the medicine. 
The reputation of the PAIN KILLER has suffered more or less from numerous counterfeits and imitations, 
that have been issued from time to time, many of them well calculated to deceive ; promising to cure the dis-
eases for which the PAIN KILLER is intended ; while they contain few if any properties in common with it, 
and are generally entirely worthless. These became SO numerous that, in 1854, to protect the public and 
ourselves, we went to a heavy expense in procuring finely engraved steel plates for our labels ; altering at 
the same time the shape of our bottles, from octagon, to flat panel, with "Davis' Vegetable Pain Killer" 
blown in the glass. On one side of each bottle is a finely engraved likeness cf Perry Davis, the inventor 
of the medicine ; on the other side of each is our note of hand, as finely engraved, to counterfeit which is 
held to be forgery by the laws of the United States. 
To the name of our medicine, "Pain Killer," which is our trade mark, we have the exclusive right, which we 
have never failed to sustain in law in any of the numerous actions brought against parties putting up or 
selling articles under that name, or one so similar as to mislead the public. We would caution the public 
against all imitations of our preparation, either inname or style of putting up. 
The Pain Killer is sold wholesale by Druggisst and Medicine Dealers in the principal cities, and re-
tailed by Druggists Apothecaries, and at Variety shops generally, throughout the United States and 
British Provinces ; also, by Druggists and Commission Merchants at most of the foreign ports with which the 
United States hold commercial relations.

Surpasses in efficacy, and is destined to Supercede, all 
other known remedies in the treatment 
of those Diseases for which 
it is recommended. 
It has cured CANCERS after the patients have been 
given up as incurable by many physicians. 
It has cured CANKER in its worst forms, in hun-
dreds of cases. 
It has always cured SALT RHEUM when a trial has 
been given it, a disease that every one knows is ex-
ceedingly troutlesome, and difficult to cure. 
ERYSIPELAS always yields to its power, as many 
who have experienced its benefits do testify. 
It has cured SCROFULA in hundreds of cases, many 
of them ef the most aggravated character. 
It cures KING'S EVIL. 
It has cured many cases of SCALD HEAD. 
TUMORS have been removed by it in repeated in-
stances in which their removal has been pronounced 
impossible except by a surgical operation. 
ULCERS of the most malignant type have been 
healed by its use. 
It has cured many cases of NURSING SORE 
MOUTH when all other remedies have failed to benefit. 
FEVER SORES of the worst kind have been cured 
by it. 
SCURVY has been cured by it in every case in 
which it has been used, and they are many. 
It removes WHITE SWELLING with a certainty 
no other medisine has. 
It speedily removes from the face all BLOTCHES, 
PIMPLES, &c., which though not very painful, per-
haps' 
 are extremely unpleasant to have. 
it has been used in EVERY KIND OF HUMOR, 
and never fails to benefit the patient. 
NEURALGIA, in its most .distressing forms, has 
been cured by it when no other remedy could be found 
to meet the case. 
It has cured JAUNDICE in many severe cases. 
It has proved very efficacious in the treatment of 
PILES, an extremely painful disease. 
DYSPEPSIA, which is often caused by humor, has 
been cured by it in numerous instances. 
In FEMALE WEAKNESSES, IRREGULARITIES 
and diseases peculiar to that sex, it has been found a 
most potent remedy. 
In cases of GENERAL DEBILITY, from whatever 
cause, the Syrup can be relied upon as a most effectual 
aid 
It is a most certain cure for RICKETS, a disease 
common to children. 
Its efficacy in all diseases originating in a depraved 
state of the blood or other fluids of the body is unsur-
passed. 
Its effects upon the system are truly astonishing and 
almost beyond belief to one who has not witnessed 
them. 
This Syrup will as certainly cure the diseases for 
which it is recommended as a trial is given it, and the 
cure will be permanent, as it, by its wonderfully 
searching power, entirely eradicates the disease from 
the system. 
The afflicted have only to try it to become convinced 
of what we seer in regard to it, and to find relief from 
their sufferings.

Catherine Lopolow accompanied her 
parents in their exile to Siberia. She 
was then seven years of age. After two 
years. she took the resolution of going 
alone to St. Petersburg, to implore mer-
cy for her parents at the emporor's feet. 
All the efforts made • by her parents to 
divert her from this difficult project were 
vain. It seemed impossible for one at 
her tender age to accomplish it. The 
only reply the noble-hearted child made 
was, "Have no anxiety about me. God 
will aid and protect me." 
After taking an affectionate farewell 
of her parents, Catherine set out on her 
perilous journey, without any other re-
sources to rely upon than the charity of 
Christian people. She always travelled 
on foot, was .badly clothed and worse 
fed ; and in this manner a child of nine 
years traversed the great distance of 
eight hundred leagues across mountains 
and deserts. 
Arrived happily at St. Petersburg, 
this young girl, animated and sustained 
by the holy feeling of filial piety, sought 
a lodging at the house of a lady who 
was pointed out to her as the guardian 
angel and support of the unfortunate. 
This lady, worthy of all the praise be-
stowed upon her, received Catherine 
with much kindness, and when she 
learned the object of her perilous jour-
ney, made every effort to secure the suc-
cess of her enterprise. After diligent in-
quiry, she ascertained that Lopolow had 
been unjustly condemned to exile; and 
the Emperor Alexander, upon being in-
fn-med of what had occurred, pardonad 
the unfortunate exile, and also made the 
young- and virtuous Catherine a consid-
erable recompense.-Early Days. 
TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR AUNT PRISCEY. 
Amount previously received, $2 00 
We commend the following article to 
the attention of all the members of our 
churches-and especially those whose 
duty it is to see their minister is "kept 
free from anxious care." 
Depend upon„ it, brethren, there are 
many of our ministers in these times of 
high prices who live and preach by de-
nying themselves and families, many 
even of the necessaries of life. 
Don't let another week pass, we be-
seech you, till you and Mr. Brown have 
doubled your subscriptions. 
"How do ministers live in these 
days p .said Mr. Brown, the merchant, 
to Mr. Smith, the preacher, after weigh-
ing out for him a few pounds of sugar, 
at twenty-five cents per pound, and 
measuring off a few yards of calico, at 
thirty cents per yard. 
Mr. Smith hesitated, Mr. Brown was 
not a professor of religion, and he did 
not wish to say anything which could 
in the least discredit the-church. 
I 
 " 
" hey tell me," Mr. Brown contin- 
ued, "that your salary has not been 
raised, and I always supposed it was 
small enough; and now when four hun-
dred .dollars are scarcely worth as much 
as two hundred were some three years 
ago, I can't imagine how you make it 
do." 
Just at this moment the door opened, 
and Mr. Jones entered the store. The 
merchant, intent on the subject, went 
on. 
"Good morning, Mr. Jones. I have 
just asked Mr. Smith how ministers live 
in these days of high prices ?" 
"This is a question which I have been 
asking myself lately," replied Mr. Jones, 
"and I would be glad to near our minis-
ter answer it." 
Mr. Smith, thus appealed to, said: 
"There are some ministers whose sala-
ries have been raised to correspond with 
other things. We will not speak of 
them. But you ask how those live who 
have only the same amount of money 
which three years ago they thought no 
more than a comfortable • support. I will 
divide them into three classes. The first 
are men who have some property, and 
they fall back on that, and are spending 
it rapidly. Others are getting in debt, 
and this I fear is the case with too 
many. The third class cannot do as the 
first, and will not do as the second, and 
nothing remains for them, if they live 
within their means, but sternest self-de-
nial. Mo salary is, as you know, four 
hundred dollars per annum, and a house 
to live in. I must keep a horse and a 
carriage, and wear them out pretty rap-
idly, too, and the cost of keeping, is at 
least, with the present prices, one hun-
dred a year. Then there is the wear 
and tear of carriage and harness, and the 
loss by accident to horse flesh, which 
ought to be reckoned fifty more. It cost 
me six dollars'a cord for wood, or ten 
dollars a ton for coal; and I must keep 
at least two fires. 
"A place to study is indispensable to 
my usefulness, and whatever else is 
given up, I must have the fire in the 
study when needed. It will cost forty 
dollars a year for fuel, and then you see 
that nearly two hundred of the four is 
I used up, and you ask how I, my wife 
and two children live on the other two 
hundred. I will tell you. We live on 
bread and water. Tea, coffee, sugar 
and butter, have been one after the. 
other, given up, except when we have 
company. The old clothes are mended 
and worn, but my wife says that cannot 
be done much longer. Books and peri-
odicals are given up ; and the hand 
which once dispensed charity to the 
'poor is empty. This is the way that I 
and many others are living. If this was 
our just proportion of the public burden, 
we would not complain, but it does seem 
hard to be deprived of those comforts 
and luxuries to which we had become 
accustomed, while everybody around us 
enjoys them, and lays up money be-
sides." 
"Why have you not spoken of this 
before?" said Mr. Jones. 
"It is not pleasant to complain," was 
the reply. "Besides, the whole commu-
nity know what my salary is, and many 
of them must know that I receive less 
favors than formerly. Three years ago, 
when butter. was twelve cents a pound, 
we had as much given us as we needed, 
but since it has been thirty or over, we 
have not had a pint of milk or an ounce 
of butter, except we have paid the mar-

B00.1.IS, PAMPHLETS AND TRACTS 
FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE 
The following letter was addressed 
originally to a neighboring Sabbath 
school, but will be found interesting to 
all our young readers: 
DEAR CHILDREN: Two weeks ago to-
morrow, an old colored woman who goes 
to our school, took me to see a girl who, 
as she said was "right smart sick." We 
found her in a damp basement room-
hardly so comfortable as an ordinary 
cellar-the entrance to which was so 
low and narrow, I had to contract my-
self as much as possible to get in. The 
furniture was an old stove with a few 
sticks burning in it, a broken chair, and 
rickety table, and old box and a bundle 
of ragged clothes. In one corner, on a 
bed covered with a soiled and ragged 
quilt, lay a girl about fifteen years of 
age, panting, and moaning with every 
breath. I sat down on the box placed 
endwise, while Violet occupied the only 
chair, and learned their history from the 
mother:- .They had all been slaves in 
the Southern part of Maryland : but 
about Christmas time found their way 
to Baltimore. While the city was fes-
tive with holiday rejoicings, one of the 
children died from exposure and want. 
Since het: death this child, Caroline, had 
been failing. 
The mother was engaged in an oyster 
house shelling oysters from four A. M., 
to five P. M. I asked how many gallons 
she could make out in a day, and she 
replied : "Eight, if I work smart, and 
sometimes nine." At five cents a gallon, 
this would give her forty-five cents a 
day with which to pay rent, clothe, and 
feed herself and three children. On the 
table was a pan of cold Indian bread, po-
tatoes, and broken biscuit, not a good 
sized meal for a single person. "Yes,. it 
was hard to get food," Milly said, '"but 
they hadn't starved yet." I asked if this 
was better than to be a slave. "C)," said 
she, "we're very poor, but it does me 
good to feel that what we have is our 
own ! 
I found that Caroline could not talk 
much, so I read to her and then told her 
of Jesus, and his love, and good deeds 
to the poor. She had heard of him, but 
knew nothing more of him, than the 
name. She watched me eagerly with 
her great black eyes, and I thought the 
talk was pleasant to her. The mother 
leaned over the foot of the bed, and Bet-
ty catne round to my side and looked 
up. Poor little Betty! It made my 
heart ache to think of the life she must 
lead, alone with her sick sister and the 
little one all day long, and only eight 
years old. 
I went often to see Caroline. She was 
usually lying on an old straw bed upon 
the floor, too restless to be on the bed. 
Sometimes she was sitting up, rocking 
to and fro with her hands clasped about 
her knees. Little Betty always sprang 
to greet me as I turned the corner, and, 
for her sake as well as her sister's, I felt

expels the poison from the blood, and thus cures them 
all alike. It is not only the most effectual remedy 
ever discovered for this class of complaints, but it is 
the cheapest, and moreover is perfectly safe. No 
harm can arise from its use, and the patient when 
cured is left as healthy as if he had never had the dis-
ease. Can this be said of any other cure for Chills and 
Fever? It is true of this, and its importance to those 
afflicted with the complaint cannot be over estimated. 
So sure is it to cure the Fever and Ague, that it may 
be truthfully said to be a certain remedy. One Dealer 
complains that it is not a good medicine to sell, be-
cause one bottle cures a whole neighborhood.

The following touching tale was told 
by a friend of the late Hudson Gurney : 
One morning I was sitting on business 
with Mr. Gurney, when I heard the 
pattering of feet behind,, and the door si-
lently opened. I turned to see who was 
listening. to us, and the Newfoundland 
dog quietly entered the room, and, stand-
ing in the centre, looked on me boldly, 
and on his master kindly. 
"This," said Mr. Gurney, "is one of 
my most faithful friends; he is come to 
pay me his usual morning visit."
