DIVISION OF THE CHURCH.

There are about 5000 Presbyterian
churches in the United States. Suppose
tne number to be 5000, and that each OF
them, owns a honse of public worship
worth $1,000. and the whole will be
worth three millions of dollars. Many
OF the churches have no houses Of worship;
but many have those that are very valua-
bic, besides Permanent funds for the sup

VOL. IX....NO. Al.

Election, that your good name and the
good names of Justin Edwards and John
Tappan, are still reckoned on the slave
holders side. Trust, however, that the
day is near at hand, when the bishop will
be deprived of this comfort, and when
other defenders of slavery will be deprived
! of their similar comforts, by the public
testimony of these three precious friends
of the cause of temperance against the sin
of slavery
The fact that the slave is drunkard,
cannot fail to be very influential reason
with the friend of temperance for his la
boring to overthrow slavery, No scheme
was ever devised, which is more efectual
than American slavery 10 destroy the UNI
derstanding and the heart, and to reduce
a man to a mere animal. Its victims are
forbidden to marry-forbidden to read,
are forced into the lowest depths of ignor-
ance and pollution-and are actually
classtd by law with cattle and merchan-
disc. Denied the improvement Of their
intellectual and moral faculties, and cut
off from every qualification worthy of
mans exalted nature, that they should
greedily and reckIessly indulge their low
est appetites is, certainly, no more than
what might be expected. An intimate
! friend, who has spent the last two or three
years at the South, says to me: 1.-The
slaves are all drunkards." But, if the
debasement and despair of the coIored
people ofthe South be so prolific source
of lntemperance, scarcely less so are the
. idleness of whites and that disorder of
j their moral feelings produced by the pos
; session and tyrannical exercise of absolute
power. Rely on it, that the cause oftem-
perance can make but little progress, where
the mighty Misunderstanding machine of
slavery exists.
If you need another reason to convince
you Of the excellence Of the anti-sIavcry
cause, you have it in the fact Of the pecu-
Iiarly deep hatred, which the wicked and
the vile bear towards it. Their hatred is
far more malignant, than that which the
temperance cause provokes, and which
YOU and | have ever regarded as even
more honorable to that cause, than the
highest praise from the lips of the good
My labors to promote temperance have
gained me no greater honor than the ap-
peIIation of fanatic" But my efforts for
the millions of my enslavod countrymen
f have raised me to the reputation of being
madman."
Allow me, me dear friend, to close this
f letter with an appeal to your ambition
+ You see, that am far ahead of you in
our race for gIories, You havefor years
been my fellow fanatic. Hasten now to
overtake me, and to become my fellow
, mailman. Your friend,

Eda0Grd c. DeI0U0m Esquire:
My dear friend-I take my pen to So
Ilcit a great favor. 1t is no less than en-
rolling your honorable name amongst the
members of the American Anti-SIavery
Society. My frequent conversation with
you in relation to its just and mercilui
principles have male me certain, that you
entirely and cordially approve of them.
What causes, then, operate to delay your
connexion with IL can think Of but
two. The one is, an impression, that you
can as we'll promote its interest without
being a member of it, and the other is the
honest fear of your heart, that your con-
nection with it might serious y lessen your
influence in the cause of temperance.
| admit, that you may, while discon,
nected with the Society, make sincere and
judicous efforts to advance its cause. But
| maintain that these efforts will be greatly
overwhelmed by the adverse influence OF
your standing aloof from the Society,"
How have we found it in the case of the
Temperance Society," That a man could
promote its principles. at the same time
that he rejected its measures, and with.
held his name from its list Of members
Far from il; and indeed, it is so palpable,

To Gerrt Smith, Esq.,, Peter6oro -
My dear friend-I have your highly es-
teemed letter of the 10th alt. regret
than an unusual pressure of business has
prevented my answering it sooner. re-
ply, am glad to say that have already
joined the Anti-Slavery Society,"" |
have long felt that it was my duty to do SO,
and | have only been deferred by the fear
of injuring the cause of Temperance, with
which cause you know my name has Q
some measure been identified. | have,
in fact, been practicing that kind of expe
diency, which have been so ready to
condemn in others, with regard to tie
cause of Temperance. have joined the
Anti-slavery Society,"" for the reason
that | believe it to be doing about all that
is now attempted for the relief Of our coun-
try from the sin OF slavery, for that slave
ry as it now exists in the United States is
a high handed sin have no doubt. 9th
er societies may be doing much for Africa,
and for the elevation of free colored peo-
pie; but for the final relief of our beloved
country and our ensleved brethren, yonr

now seem to me the only hope. That the
Anti=Slavery Society may be the instru-
ment under God, by kind argument and
Christian enreaty, not only of enlighten-
ing the public opinion of the North as to
the sin and evil of slavery, but, what is of
the still greater moment, of affecting the
hearts of our Christian brethren Of the
South and leading them as a matter of in
terest as we'll as duty, to rid themselves
of curse, and our country Of its deepest
stain shall be my daily prayer.
am my dear friend,
Truly and affectionately yours,

BRANDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY s. 1887

port of the pastor, and other property to a
considerable amount. To say that all
these churches own property to the
amount OF three millions, is surely a
: moderate estimate.
Much of this property-some, whom
we suppose to be well-informed, say, far
the greater part of it's held by titles
which connect it with the General Assem-
bly,. The deeds by which it is held are
so drawn, that none can hold the proper
ty, who are not in ecclesiastical connexion
with the General Assembly. If in a
church of 500 members, 495 become he
retcal or immoral, and are excommuni-
Gated, the remaining five can hold the
property; can controI the house, and ap-
p y the funds, if there are any, to the sup
port Of minister Of their own choice.
We are not informed whether this fact
had any bearing on the proceedings of
either party in the late General Assembly;
but it is certain that the proposed amicabl
division, if exec uted, would have had
very important bearing on this property
The committee on division, appointed
from the majority, proposed that the ma
Jorlty should sece1e, and form a new
thurch. leaving the majority to be the
same General Assembly rs heretofore.
The result Of such division would have
been, that all the property held by such
titles as we have mentioned, in every part
of the United States, would have been
held by those who call themselves the Old
School party. Ever so small a minority
IN a church in any country village, might
hold the whole property, and use it accor-
ding to their own pleasure. 1t is evident
that the minority in the late Assembly
couI not, with any propriety, attempt to
bind their constituents to such results.
The proposal Of the minority was, that,
with the assent of the .presbyteries, the
present Presbyterian church should cease
TO exist, and that two new churches should
be formed out of its materials. How this
plan would affect such property, We cam
not tell; but probably, much of it would
revert 10 the donors, or their heirs there
being no longer any sucn characters as
the title deeds describe.
If the acts of the General Assembly,
NutIIHS OII lOul ilOuS dtG SuSIdlHetl, lIlCn
the "Old School" minorities in churches
belonging to these synods will be able to
take possession of all property there, held
by such titles. If, however, the members
from the Western Reserve shall follow up
the notice that they have given, and shall
be successful, then they and their friends
will stand in law as the General Assem-
bly,, and the "OId School" occupants of
such property, throughout the Union,
must submit, or be ousted, if any body
shall choose to Dust them.
The division ofthe Presbyterian church,
therefore, whether voluntary or involun-
tary, is not so light matter as some peo-
pie seem to think. And considering the
immense number Of law suits, in every
part of the country, which must grow out
Of it, and the inevitab bic influence of those
suits on the temper and conduct of the re-
ligious Iitigants, the process is not likely
to be very "amicable," or very edifying,
or very honorable to religion.

Mr.. Editor--I herewith send you for
publication a letter, which | have just re-
ceived from my beloved friend Deavan.
You will see by it that this most precious
and effective laborer in the cause of tenn
Perance is already by our side, in a cause
no less important and holy than that to
which he has so freely devoted his time
and money. his letter will cheer the
hearts of abolitionists, and will lead thou
sands of others to inquire why they too
should not become abolitionists.

The latent flame Of love reveals;

Beyond the poets glowing thought;
