Ply to see in almost every item of secular
inteli gence, such a selection made as
brings into its columns very little which
has not bearing on the interest of the
dear Redeemer's kingdom.
On the prominent feature in which
change has been made, that of exposing
the awful enormity of the sin of slavery,
l can but say, dear brother, 60 on. bid
you hearty God-speed That God in
whom We oughtto trust for success in ev-
cry righteous cause, surel y has not bro't
the glorious cause of emancipation thus

of darkness, till the last clank of slavery's
chain shall die away and be succeeded by
the joyful anthems of emancipated mill

before brooched the topic in public, nor
did he on this occasion escape the severe
apprehension of some of his (brethren y
on leaving the pulpit. May God grant
him courage to face the enemy in sleeps
as we'll as in wolves clothing. And may
there be many whose eyes the Lord shall
enlighten, that they may be to him, as
Aaron and Hur to Moses, to stay up his
hands that the enemy prevail not
