FRIrSDs EpIroRs:
Sone Kind friend has sent me the Report
Of the Massachusetts Anti Slavery Society,
for which ! feel grateful, but regret that the
reporting committee did not reveal 10 the
Baptist denomination their guilt, in uphold
inr that great system Of American wicked
ness-SIavtry. regret it, because there
are so many houest hearted Baptists who
would withdraw their support, when convin-
ced that they are lending their influence to
sustiin woman.whipping, woman-etealing,
snd sisier-solling. ! believe il they had more
light they would cease to force their sisters
in Christ into corcuhiaage /; they would re-
fuse to act thus either politically or %ecclesi-
asticaily. | anu far from believing that all
the Baptis,s would take this course, for there
have been in all ages OF The world men who
have entered the Priests Office for a morsel
Of bread, whose dark and ddmning deeds
have cursed the church and the world. |
think my friends Gashill, Swain, and others
of your place, can testify that | speak the
trutl, and lie not. when | say such men arc
held in loving fellowship by many of the
Baptist Churches in our very midst. These
men and their supporters, bar their pulpits
and meeling.houses against the truth, and
close their window-blinds les, light should
beam upon the minds they have, in defiance
OF Heaven, so long kept in darkness. Do
not these men hnrl from the Church all con-
sisient abolitionists who reprove them for
wickedness, with that speed which God did
the SHINING angels from hpavenl Their ~
ing lips arc ever busy 10 make the brethren
believe we are intidels, and they succeed too
well in many instances but if the above be
true, are they not infdels Of the most Tom
Painful stamp1
l said the Baptist Churches want more
light. Look at the darkness in which they
groPe.
After the Southern Baptists had seeded
tom the North, (not the North from tie
South, for they never did) the Missionary
Union was formed, to manage the Missiona-
ry concerns of the Northern churches. Az
ter this new organization, the Trumbull AS
ISOLATION passed the following resolution. |
have no doubt Of the sincerity Of the breth-
rem at the time.
Resolred, That we rejoice that the time has
come when we can separate our contributions
to the Missions, from the price Of blood and
have in our doings no connection with the
unho'y Institution Of slavery.
"Separate our contributions from the price
of blood !" Which Of the ministers has told
| the Churches that the door Of the Union is
open wide for the admission of any and eve
ry STAKEHOLDER who can trample upon the in
s%titution of marriage, if he will but pay his
81 ,0Ol Who has informed the Churches
that Shareholders have paid their dollars and
are now members Of the Union ! What
clergyman has related the startling fact that
thousands Of dollars (the price of bloody have
been paid into The treasury of the union =
Did any Baptist minister sound the alarm
when the union appointed a STAKEHOLDER q
Missionaryl Do the churches know that
the union has given into the hands Of the
slave driver one of her Missionaries
Who has informed the Baplists that somt
of the Mission stations, by the request Of The
union, have gone into the hands Of the pollu
tors of their sisters If there is any trutl
in the following sentence, these dumb dog
will have a fearful account TO give in the DAY
of reckoning. "But if the Waterman SEQ tn,
sword come, and blow not the trumpet anC
the people be not warned, if the sword com
and take away persons from among them, h
is taken away in his %iniquiiy, but his bloc,
: will require at the watchman'S hand"
. The attention of the peoples diverted fror
the horrors at home by presenting the bic;
sings which attend their labors abroad.
We are told tina, 40, GOO have been conve,
ted in 40 years on heather ground, but W
are moi told that 70,CO0 are annually heather
lied at home. am happy to learn that som
Of the Baptist Churches are opening the
i eyes. The Church in Concord, Lake co
v has taken a consistent stand, so far as cecil
Y s~iastical connection is concerned, and whe
they dissolve their political connection wit
le this slaveholding government, they will |
clean from the blood of the slave.
st With regard to the Baptist Church in TIL
a. place, / think We are free from the slave
ID blood.
