ton, and unless they who love the Bible continue
their efforts, many will live and die in the midst
of us destitute of the word of God. Several o.
the counties in Maine, New Hampshire and Yer.
mont have been already re-supplied some of them
several years since, and therefore by this time
need to be re-supplied again. Those which have
not been re-supplied, should be no longer negec-
ted. The season is now approaching in which
most of the County Bible Societies hold their an
nual meetings; and it seems very desirable that
measures should be adopted for supplying the des-
ttute families in all the counties which have not
been supplied within three or four years. Some
four or five of the counties of Vermont have been
thoroughly explored and supplied within a year
or two. The Sullivan County Bible Society in
N. H., at their annual meeting in January, Resol-
red to explore the county within the present year,
and supply every destitute family with Bible,
and every child that can read with the New Tes-
lament And may not every county in Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont be thoroughly ex-
plored and supplied, where it has not been done
within three or four years? Only let all the
friends of the cause engage in the work with be-
coming zeal, and the work might soon be DONE

FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND. The
Great Western arrived at New York at midnight
on Sunday. She left Bristol on her regular day
23d March-and has been delayed by very bois-
ferrous passage. She brings dates to the evening
of the 22d from London and Liverpool.
Cotton had advaced about three farthings in
Liverpool since our last dates
The news is decidedly pacific The Presidents
message and the preliminary proceedings in Con-
gress on the boundary question, with the memo
randum agreed upon by Mr. Fox and Mr.. For
syth, were received in England by the packet ship
England, on the goth March and the proposed
temporary adjustment of the dispute, and her pro-
tocol, appears to have given general satisfaction,
and even the most violent anti-American journals,
with one or two exceptions only-are comparative
ly moderate in their language, and their general
tone is deprecatory to War.
The subject produced in England less sensation,
than was anticipated here, and was deemed, gener-
ally, local boundary question, and no fear was
entertained that the amicable relations Of the two
countries would be disturbed. Passengers, of in
telligence, in the Great Western, say that the
idea of going to war with this country is deemed
by the people and the government, preposterous,
and the sinking of the whole territory in dispute
into the bosom of the ocean, better than that such
an event should take place.
The steamer Liverpool, which carried out the
war speeches in Congress, and the law authoriz-
ing the raising of men and money to support our
claim to the territory, had not, however, arrived
when the Great Western left Bristol, and the eff
feet of that intelligence remains to be seen.-Bos-

Agent Of Am. Bible Society.
April Is, 1889.

EsScr, April 9th, 1889.
DEAR BROTHER The ways of God are indeed
unsearchable and his counsels past finding out
This truth is this morning impressively felt by
this religious community. The only comfortable
place of public worship in this place is now in
smoking ruin. In the midst of deeply interest
ing season of proracted effort while the Spirit is
poured out from on high, and while many are re-
joicing in newborn hopes of heaven, and many
more are nquiring what they shall do to be saved
and at the dawn of this day set apart as day OF
solemn fasting and prayer by the churches for the
descent of more of the Divine influence, this mys-
FERROUS providence has occurred. The consecra-
ted spot where, last evening, many, many solemn
ly bowed the knee in prayer, and where, we hum
bly, trust, more than one new temple of God was
dedicated to His service through the Spirit, is now
smouldering heap. The fire that has been the
agent in this work of destruction, originated in
saw-mill, situated 80 or 40 rods to the south of the
church, which was destroyed and the wind strong
from that direction carried some sparks which kin
died under the caves of the church in such po-
SltlOn as 10 paine all atlelnplS 10 eAlnSulSn IT,
Had there been an engine at hand, it might have
been saved, or even if ladder of sufficient length
could have been procured, it is thought it might
have been saved
Our Baptist brethren, to whom it belonged, feel
the loss, as they are few in number and feeble in
resources, and we all can and do sympathse with
them. Loss probably $4,000 and no insurance.
Our meeting however, will in all probability go
on as contemplated, and it is the prayer Of all who
love Zion, that God will override this affection so
as to promote His glory, in humbling His people,
and converting many souls. We have cheering
evidence that within the last few weeks some 80
or 40 souls have come savingly to the knowledge
of the truth. Nearly hundred daily attend the
inquiry meetings in the morning, many of them
evidently under deep impression. that God
would truly humble all our hearts, and arouse US
to consideration of those things that make for
our peace For the day is at hand when not one
church, but all churches and all temples, togeth-
er with the world, and all that is therein, will be
on fire, and the very elements melt with fervent
heat o, my Brother what then will become of
sinners? May God set home this truth truly on
all hearts
Pray for us, that God will come down in nigh
ty power on this entire people.
Yours, in haste and affection,
B. B. CUTLER.

Abolitionism and ReyivaIs.

Extract of letter from Penn Yam, the seat OF
the great Western Anti-Slavery Convention, dat
ed March IA.
1t is an interesting fact that our Convention
was Immediately followed by the manifest pres
ence Of the converting Spirit of Cod so that it may
be said that we are now enjoying a sweet and
precious revival of religion A protracted meet
ing was commenced in the Baptist church, of
which Elder Bennett lone of the business com
mittee at our Conventionl is pastor, which is still
in progress. Great multitudes are found every
evening, sitting under the preaching of the blessed
gospel, some are rejoicing in hope, and not a
few are anxiously inquiring what they shall do
to be saved All our churches are solemn and
serious, and that class of the brethren who have
hitherto waged relentless war againsfthe in
terests of the poor slave, seem now to be quite
willing to be at peace 1t is believed that the
churches are now in better state of feeling than
they have been for some time past. Let the Lord
be praised for his goodness. Friend Of Man.

A Southern Mode of Abolishing Slavery


We received last week the following letter from
Francis Tufts, Esq, P. NJ at Blountsville, Ala
bama which, in style and spirit, is so far superior
to many upon the same subject, from southern
men, that we feel no inclination to refuse to pub
fish it as requested. The writer has started a new
idea in reference to abolition take them (the
slaves home and marry them to your sons and
daughters" Should this be done, Mr.. P. M,
what would become of your rice, cane and cotton
fields ?-who would WELD the implements of huS-
bandry? Would those who now usurp the au-
thorty of masters throw off their beavers and fine
clothes, and perform manual labor? No-ndeed
they would not No-your fields would be strick-
en- with the desolation of Sodom the breath of
a sirocco would pass over your palmetto cline,
leaving nought but poverty and the wreck of death
in it's pathway. You need the coored man to
cultivate your soil. He alone, by his peculiar
physical capabilities, is able to endure the fadgues
and exposures of rural life, in your climate. Free
him, and pay him for his labor, and your land will
abound with plenty and peace. "Our property"

Vermont Judge, that when man appeared be-
fore him with an alleged claim upon the soul and
body of black man, he inquired of the claimant
if he could produce bill of sale from the Almigh-
ty to support his claim. This the negro hunter
did not misunderstood. But TO the letter.
