My inquiries at Oxford confirmed me

IN a former communication 10 YOU. From
some Of the heads Of the colleges, learn.

Paseyisn, and sometimes Nermanism, in
Oxford, CONSISTS substantially in this
IL. A discrediting of the scriptures
considering them incapable of being un-
derstood, without the aid Of tradition, and
the opinion OF the fathers.
-. A consequent exaltntion of the
church, moi Only as the ark of salvation,
but as the medium Of divine revelation.
3. An undue mognifying of the sac
raments, as the only channels of grace.
In baptism. we are regenerttpd, justified,
and sanctied, while vet infants. After
blptism, sins are GENIAL and mortal. Ven
laI sins may be bioued out through the
blood of Christ. For mortal sins, no
provision has been made in the atonement
They are to be expilteI by long penanc-.

Mary have been the instances in which
the reading OF Biographical sketches Ct
departed saints, has exerted a saving influ
eLce upon the living, -leading sinners 20 re-
Pentance, backsliders TO return 10 God, and
christians to be more devoted TO their du.
lies.
II is with the simple desire 10 do good,
that we send for publication in your paper,
an obituary of Mrs. Lucy F., daughter of the
late PETER ADAMS Of Andover, and wife Of
WILLIAM WARNER, Esq, Of Ludlow.
In Mrs. Warner were combined all those
invaluable qualities which make the af-
lec'lonate and obedicat daughter, the anna
bic and beloved wife, and the kind judicious
mother.
In the year 1882, she became decided
christian. She says, in her diary, 81 have
often had anxious thoughts abou; my soul,
but never had any sense Of my sins ill
was twenty-four wears Of age. Then was
in great distress Of mind in view of my
wlckedness; and thought would be willing
to endure any pain whatever if | could OBJ
tain religion. One night in particular |
burst not sleep. Hell seemed open before
my eyes. Afterward my distress abated
and as | was medi:ating upon death and e.
ternlty, all on a sudden had view of the
character of Co.. He appeared so lovely,
thought had ten thousand tongues l could
not praise him enough. Then | was hap
py."
She did not, however, make profession of
religion until after a protrac,ed meeting in
Andover, in 1882. AT that time her mind
was much awakened! She seems 10 have
had no hope that she was a christian. Blu,
while retired for secret prayer, she found
Christ precious TO her soul. nJuly she was
baptized and united with the Baptist church
in AhdOver. After the removal of her fam
lily to Ludlow, in 1884, she removed her re-
laton 10 The church in Ludlow. From the !
time Of her baptism, sister Warner was an
ornament 20 her professional most consist
ent and useful member of the church. She
was in the habit Of retiring with her daugh-
tiers TO converse with them about their souls
and to kneel with them in solemn PRAYER
Said her Oldest daughter, II used to refrain
from tears if possible until left the room,
and then would goaway and cry" She was
faithful to all her friends, often ADDRESSING
them by word or letter, upon the concerns of
their souls, and beseeching them TO become
reconciled 10 God.
Last December, Mrs. Warner was oblig-
ed TO take room; and soon began TO think
the time for herexchange of worlds was at
hand. hefreely conversed with her friends
npo-n the subject. 1t was soon apparent
that we should not long enjoy her society :

Excepting short intervals of darkness, she
enjoyed great peace, and sweet communion
with her Savior. She wished for prayer in
her family whenever a christian friend
came in. She would often say, 90! Jesus
is precious TO my SOUL" She Toasted upon
the divine promises, and fondly expected
soon 10 be at home with her precious Re-
deemer.
She made arrangements for the mourning
apparel Of her children, which she wished
TO be most simple, -selected subject upon
which she wished her pastor 10 preach her
funeral sermon-a farewell hymn to be sung.
and made other arrangements for her fune-
raj. with all the cheerful calmue.s of the
lorely christian.
But there was one subject which panied
her soul: Her husband and children were
not pious. She knew not how TO leave her
family with no one to pray with and for them.
She solicited the prayers Of christians in
their behalf. She would often pray with
and for her husband and their dear children
AT the commencement of our protracted
meeting, she requested prayer to be made
{ without ceaslng, for them. PRAYER was Of
tered; and prayer was heard. As her pastor
entered her room one morning, she said TO
HIM, i have this morning witnessed a
sight sufficient TO make the angels in heaven
reJoIce. My husband this morning called
our children into the room-read the Bible
and kne!t down with US in solemn PRAYER .

her she loved Jesus. She wlsh,d borh ot

ed, and her soul seemed abundantIv satisG-
cd. Yet she wished to secure pledges from
her christian friends to pray for, and do all
In their power TO bring TO Christ. her other
children, and her impenitent brothers.
Indeed, every thing which faithful moih-
er and sister could d.. she ceased not to do
until her approaching dissolution forbid her
doing more. Then she waited wiki lonoino
resignation for the coming Of her Lord
She aliectlonately bid adieu to her family
and friends. She was ready to go. On Sat

she fell asleep without d groan or struggle,
her lips moving to the last with the word,
'hdppy.'
Her age was Al. She has left to mourn
her loss, husband-rhree daughters-an
aged mother, and four brothers.

On Tuesday evening, the Wesleyan,
and we believe, Baptist ChapeIs, were
opened for scryice-the former being
tastefully decorated with branches of the
Palm, Sage, and other trees, with a varie-
ty of appropriate devices, having a port
raft Of her Ma in the centre, and a
crown above. When we visited the Chap.
el, about 10 o'clock, it was completed

the audience weIl-dressrd; and all evi-
IDENTIFY OF the better class of the colored
and negro population. Shortly after, we
understand, very excellent and modern
sermon, in all political points, was deIiv-
cred by the Rev Mr.. Kerr, the highly re-
spected pastor. The congregation was
dismissed shortly after IL o'clock at
which hour the church bell commenced
its solemn peal, and a few noisy spirits
welcomed in the morning of Freedom
with loud cheers, anil planted a huge
branch, which they termed the "Tree Of
Liberty" in the centre OF the two roads
crossing the Market Square. About this

the reception of straggIers; and about 3

the day commenced, and excepting the
aforementioned transportation in the

there was nothing in the aspect of affairs
at all different from the general appear
