Rrv r. K1NasroRD.-This brother is

,ow IN his way through the Southern
states. and especially through North and
Son,b Carolina, as an agent of the A. and
2. Bible Society. His object IS to collect !
obtained by brethren Allen
and MacIay, and also to obtain new ones,
IN aid ofthe objects of the above named IN
st;tutiop. The sentiments of brother K.
on the exciting topics of the day, have
been long before the public, and are such
as will be generally approved by intelll-
cent men at the South. Respecting the
Claims of the A. and F. Bible Society on
the patronage of Southern Baptists, we
can at present say but little. Our opinion
IS. az has been already repeatedly express
ed. that, should the Institution aforesaid
ADOPT measures of some kind, at their next
anniversary, by whichto disclaim all sorts
of affinity for the abolition mania, it shonld
still continue 10 receive The support OF
southern patronage. But, on the. other
hand, should such disclaimer be declined,
il will be incumbent on Southern Baptists
TO institute society for their own special
purposes. In the mean time we should be.
decidedly in favor of continuing our con-
tributions as heretofore. Our policy is,to
give our northern brethren ample time and
opportunitv for action: Then, should a
separation finally take place, the sin odds
union cannot be laid at the door OF the
South. Biblical Recorder.
"This brother Kingsford went, three or
four years since, from Utica, or Hamilton,
N. Y, to some part of Pennsylvania. He
is now among shareholders, and in full fell
lowship with them. The Editor of the
Biblical Recorder says of him :-"The SEN
timents of brother K. on the exciting topics
of the day, have been long before the pub
Tic, and are such as q0iU be generally dp-
prcred by intelligent men at the South."-
The North has an abundance of such men.
Their sentiments ale approved at the South.
And yet if you call one Of them pro-
slavery man, or an apologist for slavery or
Shareholders, they will inveigh against the
charge, while here at the North, as alto
getber uncharitable and denunciatory. And
all the while the Shareholders of the South
stand with open arms, ready to receive them
presume that there has been no time, dur
ing the "Iong" while that this brothers.
"sentiments have been generally ap
proved" at the "South," when he would
have received it kindly, while among bis
Northern brethren, to have been styled ar
apologist for Southern SHAREHOLDERS. Blu
how is it that. he is at the same time 81
, much in the bosom Of this Editor who rest:
, slavery upon the Bible?
But had another object in noticing tht
paragraph copied FROM the Biblical Record
er. Il is the qualifications of an agent TO
; the American and Foreign Bible Society
who is to travel in the South. He mus
not be an opponent of slavery. But this il
not enough-he must be an opponent o
Anti-SlaVery. Verify, Chow can two wall
together except they be agreed"-especialIl
in so important matter as that Of SLAYER,
: or liberty-a matter which decides the ques
: ton whether all shall have the Bible anc
knowledge, or only part?
ask our Northern brethren hoao IonG
these unholy alliances are 10 be continued
The terms Of the South are, that sLarer,
= must be let alone. How long shall sucl
terms be conceded to by those who profess
to hold that slavery is an enormous sin. al
odous reproach upon Christianity, aud :
I bllghting curse to the world? / ask how
/. long-hoa0 long will protesting christians
f who profess 10 hate and abhor this mon
. strous sin, agree to say nothing about it
and continue to hold ia full christian fel
lowship those who practise it?
A short paragraph here for the specia
benefit of certain class. There were ;
: certain few at the Convention in Bristo
: who told US they were not yet ready Il
withdraw fellowship and break up alliance
with this acknowledged heinous sin--o
these acknowledged heinous sinners, if they
rather have it in this shape-because they
had not themselves yet discharged thei
duty TO the sinners, by way Of laboring Il
: bring them to repentance! want to asl
!: them what they have yet done, since the
public confession at Bristol, in the discharg,
OF their acknowledged neglected duly i? Ane
how long will they suffer sin upon thei
, brethren, while they continue in the neelec
5 of duty, and make their past neglect thei
f present e:1case?
