THE SHELL.

leaving the church," said a member of the
Methodist Episcopal, to his class-leader the
other day.
81 hope you are not going back into the
boggaIly elements of the world" rejoined the
latter.
"No, but I think of leaving the beggarly
elements of the church,
ooh! you are getting to be an Abby KEEL
l%eyite,'' said the leader.
81 am getting to be an Abolitionist," was
the reply.
After a full delineation of the evils of ultra
Abolitionism, and the character of those who
advocate it, the class-leader concluded thus,
&c believe if any body ever goes to hell, Ste
phen and Abby Foster will 60 there"

PRESBYTERIAN A. S. CONVENTION

We expected to have received the minutes
Of the Presbyterian Anti-Slavery Convention
held last week, in time for this paper, but
from some cause they have not come to hand
and we only have time for a brief notice.
Eleven Preshyteries were represented, and
there were several very able men in the body.
The Convention sat two days, and the ques-
ton of Slavery, and the church's position
with regard to it, were freely examined. We
regret the 90 most lame and impotent ~conclu-
sion" arrived at, that it was a duty to remain
connected with the General Assembly, till it
saw fit to kick them out: but we could not
