How to make InfideIs.

Nh. Editor That infdelity is making fearful
And the process for making infdels in Christian
land is extremely easy. Let professed Christians
sag one thing and do another; and the whole pro-
cess will be finished call Christ their Lord, and
live in open violation of his commands condemn
sabbath breaking and intemperance, and take
glass of wine, or attend to their worldly business
as convenience requires; advocate missions, and
then refuse to part with their money to sustain
them; profess to hate slavery, as a moral and
political evil andthen condemn and oppose eve
ry measure proposed to remove the evil from the
church and land. Such conduct will soon be un-
derstood Men ofrehection will set you down as
arrant hypocres. And as you profess to be
Christians, and to be governed by the Bible they
will soon come 10 the conclusion that your reli-
gion, and your Bible, are like yourselves, sys-
tenn of hypocrisy. And this will especially be the
the case, if you are deacon, or minister in the
church. So that these Say-one-thing-and-d
other Christians are satan's tools, doing his work,
disgracing our holy religion, and swelling the
ranks of in6delity. Their hollow-hearted profess
sions are contradicted by their conduct. And all
men of reflection will explain their professions by
their actions and Judge ofthem and of their rel-
gion by their works. Is it then strange that inf
deity is coming in upon us like a flood How
can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit? If du-
plcity reigns in the church, we may we'll expect
that infdelity will reign in the world. And ifthe
salt have lost its sadness wherewith shall it be
seasonedor how can it preserve the world from be-
coming mass of moral corruption =?

A kind AdmOnitiOn.

Mr.. Editor,-The following remarks from the
Philanthropist, GEORGE THOMPSON, as given in
your last, deserve most serious consideration.
If it be possible, let 6rotherlg lore continue
at all euents, be well assured that the step taken,
(whatever it may be,) is demanded by the inter-
est of your bleeding chiemt-the cause of truth
which you are pledged 10 sustain, and the glory
of that God whose servants you are" And shall
such remarks be made in vain Shall they fall
upon ears, that will not hear True, it is a
painful thing that there is such a diversity Of
opinions amongst abo!itionistS, and doubtless the
enemy rejoice in these divisions but it is not
certain that the cause will ultimately suffer from
them, any more than Christianity will from the
divisions among Christians, This partial evil
may be productive of general good. Any how, it
shows, that abotionists think for themselves, and
that there is no combination among them danger
Gus to church and state. They may err in opin-
ions, be too tenacious of their own views, and too
ready to condemn their brethren but they can
with no reason be accused as combined together
for any party purpose. And the fact, that d.
versity of opinions prevails will naturally lead
TO discussion, make them cautious in their move
ments and enable them to act with greater wis
dom. Let brotherly love continue, and all bitter
ness and wrath be put away, and all will move on
to one glorious result Ephrain will not vex Ju-
dab, nor Judah envy Ephraim. After mature de-
liberation, all will see the propricty of yielding in
many points, of leaving their own peculiariies
wholly out OF the question, and of uniting all
their energies against the common enemy. And
they must learn that union is strength, and disun-
ion weakness. We hope, that they will learn
this soon, and that all their counsels will be taken
with union, and executed with persevering ener-
gv. In this sacred conflict let no foreign question
be involved. Are You in heart an abolitionist Z?
Then you are my brother; take you by the
hand, and ask no question for conscience sake.
Here is great work to be done grid yourselves
to action, and work while the day lasts, The
enemy are before you, why turn to fight with
your brother: "Let there be no strife amongst us.

FsWhat have AbOlitionists done ~

We invite the attention of such as are still dis
posed to make this inquiry to two articles publish
ed in this number of our paper The first is copied
from Maryland print, and contains a number
OF admissions which, though unwittingly made,
are of no doubtful erpretaton-admissions by
the way, which do not surprise US, since they are
conIrmatory Of long-cherished hopes With the
clear and indispuable testimony of the past, thun-
dering on the ears of slavehoders,-wi,ht the gar-
ing light of the recent experiments in the neigh
boring colonies of Great Britain, flashing in the
face of the world, who can wonder that the slave,
holders of Maryland are debating the morality as
well as the economy the force system? Who
is surprised TO learn that they are beginning to
Question the validity of their ttle-deeds to proper
ty in man? And, we will add, who is at loss
as to the cause Of the marked change discernable
in The tone of Shareholders? Those who, awhile
ago, were defying the puny efforts of the northern
agitators, and anon threatening the rupture of our
national union, now treat US to the comparatively
chastened words of men awe-struck by the power
of truth, and trembling like Saul on his Journey
to Damascus.
The other article 10 which we have referred, is
from the pen of Mr.. Birney,-giving the result
of his recent observations in the state of Kentucky.
In the light of such facts the northern apologists
for slavery will be obliged very soon to furnish
themselves with fresh catalogue of objections to
the principles and measures of abolitionists. The
friends Of the SLAVE, on the other hand, should be
encouraged. Never, never has there been Pc
Rod in the progress Of the ant-slavcry movement
when the signs of the times" were more ausp-
cious. With brother in the land Of Peln, we
are confirmed in the belief d" that our cause is adj
vancing-if not as rapidly as we could wish, yet
steadily and constantly that prejudice against
it is sollening; opposition in some cases chang
ing to professed neutrality, and in Others profess
ed neutrality to active cooperation and that alb
olitionists have only to be faithful, resolute and
perscvcrng; true to the cause of justice and hui
manly to " be steadrast, immoveabe, always a.
bounding in the work of the Lord" and they shall
" know that their labor is not in vain
in the Lord"

THE VOICE OF FREEDOM.
MONTPELIER SATURDAY, DECEMBER IA, 1889


The next annual meeting of the Vermont Anti.
Slavery Society is to be holden at RANDOLPH
CENTRE, on Wednesday and Thursday. the 10Th
and 10Th of January next The committee have
been fortunate, we think, in their designation of
the place There is scarcely any point in the
state, where, all things considered, there would be
more reason to look for general rally of the sur
rounding population. Randolph is sufficiently
central, too, for the convenience of the friends on
both sides of the Mountains. Heretofore, the an
niversaries have been held in some of the most
popuous villages of the State, and though the at
tendance has already been very respectable we
have been DESTROYS Of having our great meeting
at home among the yeomanry, where the moral
atmosphere is not SO much contaminated with the
pride of life. the spirit of aristocracy and con-
tempt for the oucast coored man. We count
upon large attendance from all the region, and,
as usual, liberal delegation from other parts of

fuence of slavery in retarding almost all attempts
at moral improvement, have gradually Influenced
many excellent Iaymen and pastors to emigrae 10
more favored sections of the country. Those
who remain behind have thus larger amount OF
work thrown upon their hands and are compelled
to witness the gradual and apparently certain ex-
tinction Of churches which they are unable to feed
with the bread of life. In one section, the scat
tered condition of the people, the low state of doc
trinal knowledge, the long habit of having preach
ing only part of the time, and of depending main
ly on the excitement of sacramento meetings for
the lille OF pleiy, are circumstances which dsqual-
ity the churches for enduring state of adversity.
The adaptations which have already occurred are
truly mournful. Meanwhile, the energies of cv

the story of Calvary 10 sinners. But it seems to
have little or no effect in this place. 1t will not
do for any minister to live by sight here; he must
live by faith. Many, alas ! have gone back to
the world to drink its polluted streams Of sin. We
have suspended some of our members for improp-
err conduct. One oc our session has been guilty
of getting drunk, and Of profane swearing; anoth-
err one of the session has been engaging in the
world and has forgotten his duty. Others have
taken offence at the cross, and will not attend on
the ordinances of religion Few other members
of the church act as if they felt for Zion. Both
professors and non.prolessors seem to be swallow

and the bible. Five groceries exist this town,

LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.

The New York Evening Post of Monday,
contains Postscript giving the following addit-
tional intelligence from Washington, which it
states was received verbally -
The House of Representatives, on Sunday
morning, passed the bill 10 authorize the Pres
ident to repel iDvasions, by vote Of 201 to 6.
Mr.. Wise being one Of the minority. The bill
authorises the Presdent-of the United States TO
raise ten millions, by loan, for the purposes OF
the bill-to put the whole naval force in COM
mission, for which two millions Of dollars are
appropriated-to raise fifty thousand volunteers,
and TO send a special messenger to England.
The section authorising the President to in
crease the regular army in case of INVASION,
was struck out in the House of Representatives.
The Senate on the same morning, passed the
same bill without amendment Southland spoke
earnestly against some of its provisions; only
one vote was given against the bill, which was
probably his. The Senate on the same morn
ing passed joint resolution to the effect that
when the Senate adjourned it would adjourn to
meet on the morning of the Sd Instant at 10 o.
clock.
The House adopted the same resolution, but
neither House adjourned. Both Houses were
yet in session when the cars left Washington at
five o'clock on Sunday morning.

Of the pending difficulties. II remsin, to
be seen whether Maine will scquiesce in
the measures proposed.
Whether she does or not, this question
has now assumed AN importance which will
render its early settlement Indispensable
II Great Britain persists in the claim OF ex-
elusive jurisdiction which some Of her off,
GERS have advanced, the inevitable result, 90
far as we can see, must be parl II na
claim which neither Maine nor the General
Government can allow with honor, and
which will unite :he whole Union, as one
man, TO repeI. If Great Britain persists in
this claim, the armed occupation, on our
mart. of the territory in dispute, will probs-
bly follow; when, il she attempts to expel
us BY force, a general war must ensue.
But We cannot think that the Govern
mcui Of Great britain will so far depart
from truth and justice ns to advance such
a claim,-or that her merchants and man.
ufacturers will countensnce war with this
country on a question in which she is SO
clearly in the wrong. In our opinion the
national honor Of Britain will receive FAR
more tsrnish by an attempt to enforce an un-

giving up the territory, which they have
claimed without the least shadow Of right.
