i~nnd In the New Testament Matt. z. /:
sJudge not that ye be not judged !" |
Cor. g.: 10, rexilers are classed with the
most heinous sinners Rom. IA: 10: "But
why dost thou judge thy brolher2 or why
dost thou set at nought thy brother! for
we must all stand before the judgment seat
of Christ" james A: II: "Speak not
evil one of another, brethren. He that |
speaketh evil of his brother, aud iudgeth |
his brother, speakelh evil of the law and [
judgeth the law" | Tim. 6: 4: reyiling
and evil surmising are classed among the |
greatest sins. Jude, 9: Michael the arch |
angel when contending with the devil,
burst not bring railing accusation against |
him, but said, the Lord rebuke thee."--

REMAINS.
10 regard to the former part oflhe fore
GOING. e. the Bible Societies, and Pro-
fessor Hascal's connection with Them, he
may have it which way he chooses
whether to continue in fellowship with
those whom he considers to be cor rupters
! of tho Se RI ntnrae or copoo ont fron- o,Donr
them. Have it as he will, the matter
stands thus: IF. on the one hand, he con-
tinues to fellowship corruption in one
place. it can never be a good aud valid
reason for fellowshipping still greater
corruption in another place. If be con-
:inues to fellowship what he himself calls
a corruption of the American Bible So
ciety. aow can this justify his continuing
in fellowship with theft and robbery
| On the other hand, if he disfellowships
the corruptions OF the American Billie
Society, he is called on much more by
consistency, humanity, and Christianity.
to separate himself from the theft, robbery,
adultery, and murder Of American Slave
ry, as it exists in the Baptist church
/ For him TO say, at this stage of things.
that he has never advocated separation
from the American Society, is to show
himself in worse attitude on that point
than | could have placed him in, without
this information which he gives against
himseif-especially as he right away goes
to work and denounces Justify the doings
of that institution as corrupt He never
/ advocated separation from the American
Society, on account of the wickedness
or impurity Of its members! o, no
He only charges them with requiring
Baptists to corrupt their TRANSACTIONS.
''in one particular" That's all So
suppose he would not have separation
from slavery son account Of the wicked
ness or impurity of shareholders All
they do is TO break all Gods holy CON-
mands! The Professor tells US he is
member Of both Bible Societies And,
reasoning from such an inconsistency,
suppose he sees not why be may not CO.
operate with menstealers in preaching
the Gospel to the heather, and with all
others at the same time. All he needs TO
do, to arrive at this conclusion is, TO say,
and at the sane lime require himself to
think, that inasmuch as, under some cir
cumstances, he allows himself in small
er Inconsistency, Therefore he may, under
other circumstances, allow himself in a
greater Inconsistency In other words.
he allows himself TO be at one aud the
same time connected with the American and
Foreign Bible Society. which he deems
pure, and the American Society, which
he only accuses Of requiring Baptists to
corrupt their versions in one paaheular.
therefore he can profess to hate slavery
as much as any body. and still co operate
with shareholders in preaching the Cos
pei to the heather A this only shows
how easy thing il is for him to come
out wrong, when he has started wrong.
