humanity require. Will not those who
have written ten. sit down quickly and
write taoenty? Will not our brethren in
the ministry lay the case before their
churehes2 Shall not this voice from one
toiling in the mission field be heard 2
The embarrassments of the Board for
want of funds. to carry forward the plans
of benevolent effort has deeply affected our
hearts, as it indicates that the feeling in
the church is not commensurate with the
wants Of the world. and is calculated 10
extinguish the spirit of missions in the
hearts of those young men, whose hearts
nov burn with desire 10 obey the Masters
last great command. Do encourage all
who feel impressed with the wants and
woes of the heather, to persevere, and
hold themselves pledged to GO TO the for
tign field. so soon as God shall open the
door. 1t seems strange TO me that any
Christian can remain cold and indifferent
on this subject, and witness the embar-
rassment of the Board without weeping
and lamentation, and grea, effort; if any
are afraid of making sacrifices, let them
look to Jesus. He made one, aud can we
call anything we do, to advance the cause
for which he bled, sacrificed do not
feel that have, or can make anything,
that deserves snch title. His service is
a delight, and ifthe church could enter in

ANTI SLAVERY MEETING,

ANTI SLA " EH1
The annual meeting of the Windham
County Anti Slavery Society was holden
at Townshend, Feb. II, l641, and the fol-
lowing officers elected for the ensuing
year:
Hon. VIM. R. Skater, President,
John Campbell, Timothy GooIale, Os-
car L, Shafer, and John Blandn, Esqrs
Vice Presidents
Rev. VIM. D. Upham, Cor Secretary.
Nathaniel Cheney, Jr. Rec. Sec'y.
Peter Allen, Treasurer and Collector.
Hon Cha's PheI ps, Rev. H. N. Graves
Rev. John Baldwin, Rev. D. M. Crane
Peter Dean, Hon. Laban Jones, and Hi
ram Davis, Executive Committee.
AT The meeting the following resolutions
were adopted:
1st Resolred, That it is an imperious
duty for Northern Aboliticnists to furnish
the means 10 send Messrs Birney and
Stanton, agreeabIy to their desire, into
the slave States to labor in the cause Of
Emancipation.
End ResoIred, That if relief and liberia
ton to the slave is to be expected, it must
originate 10 the household of Faith.
3rd Resolred, That without hesitation
or misg.ving, we reaffirm sentiment
adopted by this society in 1887, to wit
That the cause of abolition is a christian
enterprise, and as such should receive the
countenance and cooperation of the min
listers of Christ
4h Resolved, That without organ;za.
ton and concert in the abolition enterprise
the efforts of the friends Of the cause must
be unavalling. and slavery on the earth
continue, reproach to religion, curse
| 10 its perpetrators and its victims and an
eclipse upon the Sun of Righteousness
through endless ages TO come.
5h Resotred, That political parties a.
now organized, protesting to BE- purely
democratic, would give good evidence o
sincerity by presenting such candidate:
only for support as recognise the equa
rights of all men.
9th Rssolred, That slavery is an abom
ination in view of high heaven; and nei
Their laws nor multitude of supporters cal
make it less odious; therefore it become
every one TO shake themselves from if
support, ifthey would not be found figb,
ing against God. 49,
tn Resolred, That the evils of SLAYER,
have already been made sufficiently appa
rent to the world--that hereafter GU
watchword should be g. To the rescue"
i 8m Resolced, That we cordially ap
prove the course of those clergymen, VIII
as the servants Of the Most High, dali,
and from house to house plead the caus
} of Gods suffering poor, ever remember

would appoint responsible person, not
personally disagreeabIe to the Baptist So
ciety, to lecture therein, in order thatthe
crueIlies and vi.lanies practiced towards
twenty seven hundred thousand human
beings, by a nation who call themselves
Christians, and profess TO be the most free
and enlightened on the earth, may be ex-
posed" After the expiration of the five
years, the whole property was to remain
vested in the Baptist Society without con-
dition.~
The Baptist Society, replied to this
proposal, in a letter by their Clerk, that
they " deemed it inexpedient to accept the
profered gift, aoith the conditions named
By Mr. Gore.
We denominate this deed an instructive
as wei! as generous gift. lis peculiar
instructiveness lies in the account incor-
porated in it, of the offer of the land to a
Baptist Society. and the rejection of the
offer on account of the conditions specl-
fed. 1t shows what kind of religion it
is, ralherthan wha; kind of religion it is not,
that is possessed by some societies that
profess the Christian religion. 1t shows
that their religion actually possessed is
not the Christian. That it is a religion
without nercy-deaf and dumb to the
deepest injuries under which humanity
ever was crushed and not only refusing
themselves TO hear and speak, but having
disposition to hinder others from hear
ing or speaking in behalf of crashed mill
ions, and in reproof ofthe wickedness Of
a hypocriticaI nation. And it will be in
struc,ive to posterity. This deed, includ,
ing this history, is recorded "with Nor
folk Deeds, Lib. 1870. Fol. 49," There
will it stand testimony, while the arch
ives of this nation shall endure. AND
when those records are past away, this
demonstration Of the spuriousness Of thai
Socie,y's religion, will appear in those
books" which are to be "opened
when the dead, small and great, shall
stand in Judgment. EN-.
