do it better than by giving this sermon,
which touches the very point.

fifty Methodist ministers in attendance at
the annual conference held in Nantucket
last week. They resolved not to NEEDLE

If the anti-abolftionists and nti-abolition

eousness with such facts, they will find
themselves engaged in a sorry work, at best.
They who reckon up the names of clergy
men and array them against the cause Of
the oppressed, will find that they have reck-
oned without their host.
