l saw yesterday-I have reason to hear,
what heard last week.
A TRIO OF 1sMs. The Rev. c.. Reed,
of the Medina Circuit, Ohio Conference,
thus writes to the editors of the Western
Christian Advocate s'Were it not for
Mormonism, Campbellism, and abolition
ism, believe that part of the land where
l travel would bow to truth. They not
only share in proselytes, but stand in oppo-
sltlon to righteousness and practical holi-
ness, and | cannot say which of those isms
Is doing the most injury to the cause of
the Redeemer."C!!)-Bop. Banner.
AS an offset to the above trio of ssms, we
offer the following, which may be found
any where between the Potomac and the
Sabine: despotism, barbarism and hea-
thenism-the last, in the slaves, inflicted
by the first two, in their ungodly masters,
and unfaithful religious teachers.
Of Mormonism and Campbellism we
have occasion to say nothing here but
touching the remarks on the third compo-
nent of the trio, we have word to say. 1t
is charged bya professedly religious teach
er, and endorsed by the editor of profess
sedly religious paper, that abolitionism is
a hindrance to those who would otherwise
6ow to TRUTH What is truth?" Is it
true that "all men are created equal and
that they are endowed by their Creator
: with the "inalienable rights of life, lib
erty, and the pursuit of happiness?" Is it
true that the millions of slaves at the South
are a part of these "all men2" Is it true
that "God hath made of one blood all ma
tons of men''-and that Jesus Christ has
commanded his ministers to "preach the
gospel to every creature?" Is it true that
+ American oppressors are any portion Of
gospel requires immediate repentance p
Is it true that the Most High has denounc-
ed wo upon oppressors, and chastisement
upon those of his messengers who neglect
the warning voice! Is it true that an in
spired apostle ewoins it on the disci pies Of
the cross to remember them that are in
bonds as bound with them2" 1t these
J things are not true. we ask again, What
is truth2 Once more-Who will under
take to show that "abolitionism is more or
3 less than answering these questions affir-
mativcly and acting accordingly!
-. These questions are but few links of a
long chain in reserve, when these are dis
posed of.
n Those who wish to see men chow to
b TRUTH" must cease their unchristian oppo-
- sition to vital parts of truth, and join in
proclaiming the 1chole truth. For the spe,
cial benefit of c.. Reed, we herewith send
him copy of Beriah Green's Letter.
