ISOLATION, brother Alden, of Berkshire Asso-
citation, (Mass.) and brother arthur, Of
Washington Union Association, On. W !
which was spiritual and searching.
The session was an interesting and prof
liable one. The Association is small. But
few additions have been received during the
past year. The following are among the
resolutions adopted:
RESOLVED, aThat every christian in Amer |
lea should heartily co operate with the
American and Foreign Bible Society, until |
every human being shall possess the sacred
volume, faithfully translated in his own |
tongue"
Resolred, That we recommend TO the
churches of this Association, the cause of
Foreign and Domestic Missions, the Amer
! lean and Foreign Bible Society, the Baptist
! Sunday School and Publication Society," the |
| Northern Baptist Education Society, and
Vermont State Convention.
| RESOLVED, That weregard Sabbath Schools
| and Bible Glasses as intimately connected
with the building up and pertec,ing Of the
Redeemer's kingdom; and therefore recon-
mend that they not only be well sustained
/ in every church, but also that they be COM
posed of the whole church and congrega-
/ ton.
RESOLVED, "That, as members of the
SALISBURY Association, we will abstain
from the use of all intoxicating drinks, and
/ by all proper means endeavor to prevent the
manufacturing and vending Of the same;
and that we recommend 10 the churches OF
this Association to do the same"
RESOLVED, That we recommend the first
Sabbath evening Of each mouth 10 be OBJ
served as concert of prayer for the spread
of the gospel, and the abolition of slavery
| throughout the world"
On SLAYER
| Resolped, That American Slavery is sin
full under all possible circumstances-tha
its essential ingredients are those fragrant
violations Of Gods law and the rights of
man which the Bible everywhere condemns,
and which. separate from slavery, every
where exclude those who are guilty of them
from the pale of the christian church.
/ Resolved, That 10 exclude shareholders
from the pul pit and the communion table,
is to institute no new "testn-that the test
is as old as Christianity, and identical with
its most legitimate workings and its most
commonly received practices.
Resolved, That the time has fully come
for measures to be taken to open channels,
for our benevolent contributions, which shall
not be contaminated with the price of blood.
ResoLred, That we view the proceedings
of the late Triennial Convention at Bali
more, in eiecting Elon Galusha from the
Board of Vice Presidents. as base bowling
down TO the "dark spirit slavery" against
which we enter our solemn protest as Bap-
lists, as christians, and as human beings.
RESOLVED, That we love union much, but
that we love, purity aud truth more.
Voted that the Clerk be authorized to
. correspond with the Executive Committee
of the American Baptist Anti Slavery Con-
, vention, and other brethren al the North,
, with regard TO a channel for our bcnefac-
lions, aside from the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions, and give the earliest possible intelli-
gence to the churches. ..".-
! Thus it will be seen that the standard of
reform is lifted high, in the SALISBURY AS
D ISOLATION. From the letter of one or two
clauses of resolution, recommending So
j, cieties that are connected with slavery,
j. there will appear little inconsistency,
3 when compared with the language of the
r resolutions on the subject of slavery. But
the design was only to recommend support
of the different causes, and not to express
r satisfaction with the present management

: connection with slavery. feel warranted

is was amended so as to give the support o

The same sentiments, hesitate not to say
t. are entertained by the Association, in rela
