Resistance gave men permission to kill
their fellow beings-or as though it had
a tendency to induce thanksgiving -aOhen
in fact 1t Is the only efeetuol remedy to'
m0@slaying ever offered TO the aoorId!
Q0) Where did he learn the lesson,
and imbibe the spirit which led him to
perpetrate the horrible deed? Did he
learn it of Non Resistants, who teach that
human life is invioable in all possible cir
cumstances, and who practice according
| ly? Did he not rather learn it of those
who advocate killing under certain circum.
stances?
UD The question might here be rails
ed whether any "express command of
Chris" is disobeyed by refusing to use
fermented wine. | do not understand
Henry C. Wright to be opposed to the
observance of the commemoration of the
Lords supper, or to have laid it aside for
himself He told me he had not. have
not entered into the discussion ofthe ques-
ton as to the nature Of the wine used by
our Savior, thinking it to be of less inn
por:ance than some other questions which
are agitating, and which | think ought to
agitate the religious world. My own
conviction is, that large proportion of
the vile compound called wine, used in
this country, has no. particle of the
luce of the grape in it, and for myself |
totally abjure its use under all circum-
stances.

that they are founded on the thanksgiving
power. This principle they would "reg-
uIate'' out of existence, believing it to be
anti Christian and inhuman.
l3) All the opposition that has been
brought against war, or that will be,short
of Non-R Resistance, will be as Intellectual
for it's removal, as Colonization has been
; and will be for the removal Of slavery.
The congress of nations talked of, while
governments continue based on the man.

the abolishment of slavery, as from of ma
tons, whose governments are built on
war principles, for the suppression of war.
