OUR CAUSES in THE CHURCHES.

In former article, we alluded to the fact
that there are some members Of the Christian
Churches, who make, buy, sell, or use as q
beveage--the poisonous drinks we are oppo-
sing. We are happy to find an interes, in the
churches on the subject, and 10 read in the
journals which are their organs, pointed. and
excellent practical articles in relation 10 this
matter. As a specimen, take the following re-
marks from correspondent Of one Of them:
/" This traffic is forever interdicted in our
church; The rule against lis we know written
ON every truly awakened heart. So it must Of
necessity be, every awakened soul sees that he
cannot Be- saved while assisting 10 destroy his
fellows. He likewise sees that to make, vend
or in any way to sustain the trade in ardent
spirits. is to do the greatest possible harm to
his generation --and 10 posteriiy- y---surely, no
one can more truly discern the unspeakable
evils Of intemperance. than the newly and
truly awakened sinner. As for those establish
ed christians, who have so long scattered
abroad 6rebrands, arrows, and death, they will
be certain Of their reward. They ought to
know that there can no concord betweenC Chris,
and belial And The churches ought 10 know,
that I kingdom divided against itself cannot
stand.or
This is noble. Q, We followers Of "the meek
and lowly, "ye who are placed as lights ID the

and aid those who are striving 10 put away the

The Reading, Pa. Gazette Of Saturday last,
says The corner stone Of the First Colored
Presbyterian Church in this borough, was laid
on Sunday afternoon last, with appropriate ce-
remonies. Its history is not uninteresting.
The building which formerly occupied the
ground, was originally used as dance house,
at which the vile and degraded of both sexes
and all colors congregated nightly, and was. no
torious as one oil the vilest dens OF inquity in
our town. The late DIR. Grier became its pur.
chaser, and gave it into the hands of our CO.
lored population. who converted it from its
base uses into house Of religious worship,
and have since occupied il for that purpose
without interruption: They now form large
congregation, composed of our most respecta-
BILE colored people, who having latterly paid
of the entire debt owing upon the property,
determined TO erect new and more commo-
dious church edifce-,he first step towards
which has been taken in the laying Of cor
ner stone. We hope they will receive liberal
aid from our citizens in this pralseworthy un-
dertaking. Religious instruction has had
powerful influence IN eleval:ng the character
and improving the conduct of our coored pop
ulation. and they should receive every encour
agement ia obtaining that knowledge which
ins,rucls them in the duties Of virtue and mo-
rality.

PRESENCE OF MIND.

An admirable instance of presence of mind
was shown by Highland lad, who, with a
lowland farmer, was crossing mountain
stream, in a glen, at the upper end of which a
water spout had fallen. The Highlander had
reached the opposite bank, but the farmer was
looking about, and loitering on the stones over
which he was stepping, wondering at sud-
den noise he heard, when the Highlander cried
out, "Help help! or am dead man." and
fell TO the ground. The farmer sprung to his
assistance, and had hardly reached him when
the torrent came down, sweeping over the
stones with fury which no human force could
have wthstood. The lad had heard the roar
ing of the stream behind the rocks, which in
tercepted his view from the farmer, and fearing
that he might be panic struck if he told him OF
his danger, took this expedient to save him.
