are unable to raise their own voices for {
mercy: but that our fellow-citizens may
see, what to many of them will seem al
most incredible, the extent to which eccle-
siastical domination is carried In this coun-
try. Proteslants complain of the exercise
of Roman Catholic church power over
all coming under it. Let them abate
somewhat of their abjurgations, for we
know OF nothing that the Roman Catho-
lies have done in this country, that is more
Roman Catholic than the transaction of
which we have beeu speaking.

cisions of the New York Annual Confer

drawn from the Constitution of the Amer |
Anti-Slavery Society. have seen 20 rea-
son, however, to abandon any one of the
principles, up on which your society is In
stituted, nor shall ever cease TO lift up my
voice against the great evil of slavery L

in Involuntary servitude is, without ex-
cepton, violation of the Christian law
of love, and that immediate emancipation
is the right of every slave But what |

be in my capacity as minister OF the M.

When an in6del comes forth from his
grave, (says JalbaIoddin, one of the COM
mentators Of the Koran,) his works shall
be represented to him under the uglest
form that ever he 5eheld, having a most
deformed countenance, a filthy smell, and
disagreeable voice: so that he shall cry
out God defend me from Mee-what art
thou :! mecer sGao ytbing more detesta-
ole! To which the figure will answer,
Why dost thou aOonder at nsy wgLiness2 |
AM THY EVIL WORKS thou didst ride
upon me, a0hiLst thou rast IN the acorld,
but noa0 aoiN ride upon thee, and thou
shalt carry me. And Immediately it shall
| get upon him and whatever he shall
meet shall testify him, and say, Hail thou
enemy of God, thou art he that soas meant
I By the a0ords of the Koran " and they shall
carry their burdens"

We may have the form of goodness

The promises in the Bible to prayer,
are not made to one act; but 10 the con-
tinued habit of prayer.-Idem.
1t is not difficult to make an easy thing
appear hard; bup to render hard things
easy, is the hardest part of good orator
and preacher.-Apb. Usher.
1t is the gross folly of many. that while
they mawseate ancient truths they are fond
of upstart errors; they Loathe mama, and
at the same time feed upon ashes.
Matt Henry.
When hatred to God arises from intel
lectual misrepresentation, light will aemore
it;-when it arises from the state of the
heart, light aoiU increase it.-Porter.
Heavenly good things are lost by parsi
mony, and increased by liberality.-BeSG.
None but he who made the world can
make minister of the gospel. If young
man has capacity, culture and application
may make him a scholar, philosopher,
or an orator but true minister must
have certain principles, motives, feelings,
and aims, which no industry, or endeav-
ors of men, can either acquire, or commu.
nicate. They must be given from above,
or they cannot be received.
John Mention.
1t is the ruin Of hypocrites that they
haze no root they do not act from a liv-
ing fixed principle ;-they do not mind
heart-aOork, and without that, religion i.
nothing for he is the Christian that is
one inwardly.-MaH. Henry.

: language, in sermon preached on Fas
day, April, 1887, speaking of the advo
Gates OF Moral Reform, called them BOP
ular deceivers, most despicable hypo.
2 critics and shameless wretches' and saiC
they were deserving of general indigna
