mo my statements miserable stuff but on
looking at Webster'se definitions of miser-
able / find the Sd to read, as follows -
Z ausing unhappiness or misery" { Truth
often makes people ve,y unhappy Thet
mystery is nov s6lyed, and we have strong
evidence from MI. C.'s letter, that be un-
derstood il in that sense.
(b) In reply to these representations OF
a destitu,ion o. moral principle-in Mr.. MUIR
ray and myself, | shall say but few words,
and trust the Editor can answer for himself.
stated in my article, that the reason OF
my publishing those statements then, was,
because Mr.. Curtis was going away, AID |
wished to give him fair chance as 10 de-
fence, before going.
/ had not designed publishing that matter
until should see what course the church
and pastor would take towards me after !
had left, and they had commenced labor
with me- But when bad learned that Mr..
G. was going 10 leave, could see no other
justi fable course but TO state the difficulties
, a me causes oi ;aa before &c &c went.
And did it under full conviction that il
was right. do not apprehend that Mr..
Curtis character will stand any lower in
the west, in consequence of this, especially
in the slareholding region of the Missis-
sippi Valley, than it would in this section,
had he staid here two years longer with
some Of his acts unrepented of.
(c) The Editor will not need my aid in
replying 10 this part of the letter.
CD Webster's two definitions of Carl
| eature are as follows: A figure or descrip-
ton, in which beauties are concealed and
blemishes exaggerated, but still bearing a
resemblance to the object To make or
draw caricature; TO represent as more ug-
ly than the life / have asked number of
the members Of the church, whether rep
resented my opposers as more ugly than
they really were, or in other words whether
had given the subject wrong, or false
| coloring, and they said no. Therefore il
my statement was scaricature,' some Of
the beauties of their actions were concealed
and l would thank some one to exhibit
them more fully than I did. Mr.. Curtis
letter may answer as specimen for him
self and some of the breth,'esr
(e) That is true TO the letter, j. e. il
would take all Of that TO tell the dohole story.
60 Let US compare the aboli,ionism of
Mr.. johnson (Eaitor Of N. Z. Evangelist
10 that of some Of the members Of the Con-
gregational church in this town.
In 1888 Mr.. Johnson gave notice that he
designed preparing ana publishing arsa-
ment or his views on slavery, emancipation,
and the duties of churches and ministers in
relation to the subject, and requested those
/ patrons of The Evangelist, who felt dispos-
1 ed, to send for extra copies to distribute to
persons who they thought might be benefit
ted from perusal of his arguments.
sent for two dollars worth, and saved file
of numbers containing Mr.. Johnson's views
on that subject. could now find but three
numbers Of them, Ct think there were four,
These are dated Aug. 18th, 25th, and Sept
1st. The first page Of the Sept. lst No
