slavery alone, the gospel, by lis silent,
progressive influence will remove 1t; and
in the same breath these same ministers
tell Us that the Bible sanctions slavery
at least, that it tolerates 1t
1t is true that the Gospel may have
tendency to remove particular sin, when
no decided, active efforts are made against
that sin. But there must be found in the
lives of Christians a living rebuks of
those who indulge it. The practical in
fuence of the gospel must be seen to be
against the sin.
Men do not, can not-be they ministers
or be they laymen-belleve what they
say, when they profess to believe that
religion can awaken the conscience of a
whole people. and make them give up
their cherished interests or pleasures,
while the ministers and professors of that
religion, by their plgctice or by their ST.
lent federation, give the world to under
stand that there is nothing in the indulg-
ence of these Interests or pleasures incon-
sistent with religious character. The
gospel is made to tolerate, and the church
TO cherish, sin in its members, by at
least its silent appreciation and yet, this
gospel, and this church, are to drive this
sin, by some mysterious means, out ofthe
country!
For years, the making, vending and
drinking of ardent spirits, were tolerated
in the same manner that slavery has been,
and were considered not inconsistent with
a Christian profession. Even ministers
elders, and deacons engaged in the max
ing and vending of intoxicating liquors
and no rebuke came from the church,
And to this day the church would have
been the receptacle of drinking ant
misunderstanding Christians, had not as
sociations been organized distinct from
the church, and their influence been bro
to bear upon this iniquity.
The truth is, that ministers are so de
pendent upon the money-making part
, and so easily influenced by the tashiona
bic part of their congregations, that how
, ever forcibly they may preach agains
, sins in general, there is great want 9
that moral courage which will point on
| particular, and popular, and pro6tabl
} sins, and say to their audience, Ye are h
men.
f And then carnal and heartless polio,
often hangs millstones around the neck Q

From the New Evangelist.
Anti-Slayery i'm the Church.

The Cooperstown Freemans Journal
informs US, that the following resolution
was adopted by the Presbytery of Otsego
on the 10th of June ins.
'Resolued, That we, as a presbytery,
deem it the imperative duty of every min
lister of the gospel to raise his voice in
vindication of the rights of the oppressed,
and to exert his ministerial influence to do
away the enormous sin Of slavery; and
that those ministers who refuse, BY their
silence or evasion to present the claims
of the oppressed, either in their pulpits or
on some other suitable occasion, in our
opinion, suppress important gospel truths,
which are imperiously needed by the ext
gencies of the times
The infatuated men who have thus
opened the doors of their churches TO ia
naticism, will live to mourn over their
Jack of wisdom Better by far, that they
should have closed their churches for a
twelvemonth. and compelled their parish
toner's in the mean time to study John
Angel James work on Christian charity.

SETTLING ACCoUNTs.-When a min
lister was spending few weeks in Edin-
burgh, there came on business. to the
house, a man of the world. He was
introduced to the minister in the follow
ing manner:-" This is an acquaintance
of nine, and am sorry to add, though
young and healthy, never attends public
Worship Il am almost tempted TO hope
that you are bearing false witness against

sense. In this application, the term ap-
pears to include two ideas-frst, knowl-
edge; because light makes manifest or
discloses things as they are: and then the
pleasure or Joy which flows from that
knowledge. The church of God on earth,
is place of light, when compared with
the darkness of the world; that is, it is a
place Of much greater knowledge, and
more pure and elevated joy. But heaven
is place of still greater light-of more
extended and accurate knowledge, and of
still purer joys. Christ is the source of
this two-fold light, both on earth and IN
heaven.
Conscience is that light
which God hath set up in every intelli-
gent and rational creature 10 direct them,
admonish and censure them; it exercises
the office of a lawgiver in directing them
of a monitor and witness to advertise or
testify for or against them; of Judge to
sentence them. Conscience is the clear
est beam of divine light, and of the i'm
age of God in the soul of man: it is the
pureSt foundation of morality, and that
which most hardly admits of a wrong
bias. When men are most corrupt in
their judgments, vicious in their wills and
affections, debauched in their profant
practices; yet their consciences will still
check and challenge them. Conscience
is light which God has set up in mar
to be witness. The malice of men anC
devils can not totally extinguish it, but o
necessity they must believe there is Coz
to Judge and punish them, notwithstand
ing all their endeavors 10 extinguish thi
light, and of their desires to believe tina
there is not God. They may scar
