CoLoNIzATIoN.-" Virginia has al
aoags fsHG deep interest in THIS object.
She aeas the first porer in this cause, and
though her efforts proved abortive, they
manifested her feelings in regard to this
matter. The experiment has now been
tried, and found to answer fully, the be-
nevoieet expectations of its founders. We
beliere II ao;H essentially benefit that be-
nighted land, and equally those, a0ho,
rOkilst they remain here, aOiH be ever a de-
graded and oppressed race They may,
in Africa, rise to the dignity of freemen,
and elevate themselves to that standing in
society, which they can never attain whilst
surrounded by the adverse influences
which are continually operating to de-
press them here"-ReLigio~s Herald.
The italicising in the foregoing paragraph
is nv own, and will indicate the parts to
which l would invite particular attention.
1t is most true that "Virginia has al
ways felt deep interest in" Colonization,
and that "she was the first mover in the
cause; )" and her motives have been repeat
edly declared by her sons, from that day to
this. The object was, and has been, to
"pTortde and keep open a drain for the
ercess Of increase beyond the occasions
Improbable employnaemt;"* and to remove
their e free people of Color" whom they
view to be 6 q standing, perpetual iacite-
me1u to discomfort among their slGres."t
The egregious paradox, the rank non
sense, that "benighted Africa is to be
Illuminated and Christianized by transport
ing thither " a degraded and oppressed race
from our own shores, although have be
fore seen it on single page, and perhaps
in a single paragraph, do not recoilect hav
ing before seen it in a single sentence.
the object be TO "beneft" Africa by mis-
siona,y labor, let not the missionaries sen
out be burdened and hindered with th
accompaniment Of this "degraded race."-
On the other hand, if our own heather ar
to be Christianized, let the work be done a
home, where it can be done at half the ex
pense aud with a hundred fold better ia
,, cilities,-and save the fifty per cent. of live
sacrificed in acclimation, into the bargain.

COST OF NOT BEING CHRISTIAN
1t will cost thee much dear reader, to be
q Christian, but it will cost thee more not
to be one For, if thou fail of heaven, thou
wilt be an infinite loser-a loser, not only
of the happiness thou highest have Sc
cured, in time, but Of all the blessedness
an eternity, with God and Christ, in
heaven could add besides. For a mo-
mentary pleasure, thou barterest away
thy soul, and in addition 10 this, dost lose
an eternal weight of glory urged upon
thine acceptance by the King Himself

REv1vALs,-We learn that there is an
interesting time with the church in Ham
ilton. Fifty, it is said, have obtained
hope in Christ. In Benton, Yates Co.,
Br. Burdck writes US that not less than
one hundred souls have been converted in
meetings he has attended. We will give
his letter next week. Br D. Ransom
writes US from Durhamville, that most
excellent protracted meeting has been
held by our Sabbatarian brethren in We
roma, and number of our brethren in the
neighborhood. The confessions made
were enough to break the hardest heart.
Almost all who came forward for PRAYERS
are now rejoicing in hope; and as we
labored together in union through the
meeting, we went to the water together,
where twenty-eight willing subjects were
planted together in the likeness ofChriSt'S
death, seventeen of whom were added 10
the church in DurhamviIle, (of which
Br. R. is pastor,) and the resiG Cue to the
SeVenth-day Church. "-N Y Bap Reg.

RELIGIOUS SUMMARY

MISSIONARY ANECDCTE.-At the Mo.
ravian missionary station in New FAIR
field, Upper Canada, some sad reverscs
had been experienced, in the falling away
of many who had appeared well for a time.
But better state of things had recently
taken place, very much promoted by the
incident. An Indian. who had for years
lived in iutemperance and at discord with
his wife, having removed from her to a
place where he was visited by Methodist
missionaries, was reproved by them for
abandoning his wife and children, contra
ry to the Inlunctions of the word of God
He was hambIed, repented, and returned
to bring his wife and children, declaring
the alteration Of his views and feelings.
His wife was exasperated by what she
saw Of his religion, and sought 10 divert
him from it. But failing, she conceaIrI
a knife about her person, and repaired 10
the place where her husband was holdings
meeting, for the purpose Of taking VI nge-
ance upon him. But on entering the
house and seeing all upon their knees,
and her husband praying for her in par
ticular, she was so overwhelmed with re-
morse and grief for her wicked design,
that she cast herself weeping upon her
knees, and during the meeting and sub
sequently expressed the greatest sorrow
for her sinful lite, and gives evidence of q
renewed heart. This scene produced
great effect An interesting revival en-.
sued, and numbers were hopefully con-
ed.-Bos. Rec.

Slavery struggle to the present time, the
most formidable obstacle with which the
friends Of the slave have had to contend,
has been found in the inveterate hostility of
large portion Of the leaders in the pro-
Tossing christian church. This hostility
has been manifested by impeaching the
motives and traducing the characters of alb
ohtionists; by disappearing their doc
trines and perverting their language: and
to effect this, the religious presses, with a
few honorable exceptions, have freely len,
their aid. The pulpit too has in many
instances joined in the unholy work Of
defamation and SANDER, whilst it has re,
fused to plead the cause Of the suffering
slave, or even to give notice Of an Anti
Slavery meeting, The Bible has beer

overthrow the doctrines of the abolitionists
by proving from its inestimable pages, tina

and made to chime its old notes of horro
