G. S. BROWN, THE MISSIONARY
AGAlN-AND HIS EMPL OVERS.

AGAlN-AND HIS EMPLOYERS.
Before entering again upon the Case Of
this individual, who is a Methodist Mission
arg, stop to protest against any charge Of
sectarian feelings in relation to the matter.
! do this, because the charge has already
been brought, from high source. But
such a charge shall not deter me from chris
tian fidelity. Whether Baptists bow down
to the spirit of slavery-and they are not
alone in this-or CongregationaEists allow
their ministers and deacons to patronize
Observation-Disclosures or Methodists uphold
their missionaries in numbering their fellow
beings-not one of them shall escape ex-
posure and rebuke. They shall all be ar
raigned before the people and give account
Of themselves.
To proceed, then :-On Tuesday evening
Of last week, H. F. Mcclellan, prominent
member among the Methodists in this place.
called on my brother and left an invitation
with him for me TO attend a camp-meeting,
in Sudbury, some three miles 6istant-the
invitation being through him from the Pre-
siding Elder, by the name of Seymour
II was stated that G. S. Brown from Africa
was to be at the meeting and TO speak on
Thursday in the aflern DON. Friend McCol-
lam thought had been too severe in bring
| ing charges against Brown, and was re-
quested TO go and hear him. Accordingly
| went and heard him.
Al the close of his discourse, the cohgre-
CATION were called on to contribute. Invent
to friend Mcclellan and asked him if he
could get me hearing there, for FIVE or ten
minutes, inasmueh as l had been invited
there under such circumstances, and now
had been called on TO contribute for such an
object. He took me around into the minis.
ters' tent as supposed 10 introduce me 10
the Presiding Elder. But who should he
bring 20 me 6rst but G. S. Brown, with
hand extended for introduction. NV feel
ings were peculiar. The hand extended tc
me, knew, according TO his own story ir
his letter formerly published, had been iul
brued in human blood-the blood of those
TO whom he had been sent, professedly, a.
a minister of the Gospel of Peace Should
I grasp such hand? How could do it
did il at once, however-yet telling hin
plainly, at the same time, that my hand wa
extended, not as 10 a christian, but as to
human being whom exhorted and besough
to repent Of his awful sin, in killing thos
poor creatures whom be was sent to save
He instantly Turned upon me with the ques
ton. you mean to charge me witt
murder, Sir 2" My reply was-a On you
own testimony, and that only, as given in

charge YOU" He turned 10 those who stoot
by and called on them TO witness that hal
