ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING

II
Dea. Brother Murray
You may be grati6ed and the devoted
friends 100 ofthe Anti-sIavery cause, whose
ears are ever open to catch the distant cry
of victory on the side Of truth and human
rights, 10 hear of the progress of the great
principles of abolition in this region.
In compliance with vote of the annual
meeting of the East Bethel Anti Slavery
Society, the first quarterly meeting was held
Fast-day. at which time the Society was
favored with very interesting address,
from Col. }. P. Miller, of Montpelier, of
four short hours. At the close of which
the following resolutions were adopted with
out a dissenting vote:
ResoLced, That it is the duty of aboli-
tionists whenever they vote, to support
such men only as will carry out their
views if elected to office.
ResolUed, That the plant submission
TO slavery as evinced in the Inaug ural of
the late President Harrison, ought to
arouse every abolitionist torenewed polit-
zeal action, and warn them in future not
e inquire Of their opponents who shall
be the candidate for their SURFACES.
ResOLred, That we have reason 10 fear
thatsome of the clergy Of this State value
their salaries and the pride of their office,
far more than tbe gospel of Christ, or the
welfare and happiness Of their fellow men,
ResOtved, That we regard church men,
bers who apologize for slavery, or use
their influence. to hush the voice, or 10
counteract the efforts of those who are
conscientiously opposed to it, as in fear
ful degree responsible for the continuance
OF slavery inasmuch as their influence

holders and to uphold them in their ini.

guilt, as all are responsible for the conse-

ate or apologize for.

The present number Of our paper closes
this Address. Those who have attentively
perused it, must have received profit and
lasting good. Il is full Of thought and sig.
ni6cancy. That religion which manifests
itself only in spiritual acts Of devotion, in
prayer anil exhortation ID the conference
room, is not the religion which IS Is raise
lost-world from the depths Of sin 10, the
heights Of holiness. The religion Of Chris
has oolong been considereda thing of alb
straction, consisting of forms and ceremo-
MES, and outward worship. To raise the
degraded; to instruct the ignorant; to com
fort the afflicted; TO rebuke the wicked; to
aid the destitute; to visit the widow and
the fatherless %ye not these, as purely acts
Of religion as public or private Worship
The principles Of religion should be carried
out in the affairs OF every -day-life, by all
classes Of men. Christianity, which is on
(, ly adapted tothe cloister or the sanctuary,
is not the christianity for this world. The
chariot-wheels Of Gods mercy linger, not
because no more prayers are offered, but
because they come from lips that speak guile,
when unholy hands are lifted up grasping
spoils taken from the poor, and from hearts
all full Of hate and envy and love of-domi-
nation and pride.
Let such discourses as the one above al
luded to be multiplied, and christianity will
become thing Of life and power, convert
ing the drunkard into sober man, the
tyrant into friend of humanity,the miser
into benevolent person, the Halter of Gods
image into lover Of his fellows, and sin
ners Of every class into saints, such as An
