Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1847-07-23

w rich confess myself to have been highly
entertained, and although | could not see ex-
actly how it was going to come out, | now
felt quite sure it tcouH come. 1t seemed as
if the problem was to be solved arithmetical-
ly-,hat he was going to work ii out by the
rule of tlree-that we were going to have
one term more and Garrison's infdelity
would be the answer; but as in some other
things. our brother took the short cut in this,
and actually brought an answer by a rule
or ftco. Stated, it would be something like
this. The French free thinkers, some OF
them, aided in cutting mems threats and re-
pudiated the marriage covenant; Robert Ow-
en- being a free thinker would cut mems
throats and abolish the marriage contract, and
because w. l.. Garrison, a firm believer in
the Bible as a divine revelation, said of Ro-
bert that he was nearer the kingdom of
Heaven than hypgcritical Priests,'' he too
would cut mems threats, and throw wide
open the doors to RIGHTEOUSNESS and p%rostitu.

term of it, we are enabled by three 10 find a

with w. l.. Garrison on the abolition plat
form are as great infidels as the Jacobins of
France.
Sam Patch said long since that some
things could be done as well as others. If
Sam did not live to prove it, who will pre-
tend to say that brother White has not?
Lest some might blame the brother with
severity, in justice to him we are compelled
TO state that the sermon was read from a
pamphlet written by Elisha Bates, and which
he most candidly admitted would have been
committed TO memory if he had not been de-
tanned so late in the week in his attendance
on conference.
Divine service concluded and the audience
about TO d~isperse, a venerable looking old
gentleman who sat Immediately in front of
the pulpit, arose and proceeded so far as to
say, "may | say a few words :" when bro
Their White responded in a very decided
mo! While have charge of this pulpit and
this congregation, / will not permit any re-
marks to be made by any one, as it would
lead to strife which is positively prohibited
in Gods Holy word,' at the same time rev.
erently laying his hand on the Bible.
1t was now quite evident that the brother
took the old gentleman for one that had re-
ceived a charge from his 'skunk gum" and
although certainly not dead, might be NOR
tally wounded !; and through fear that he
might receive some injury from his death
lery of the law to bear upon any one who
might have the temerity to step over the pro-
lection the law had thrown around the church.
At this ~iuncture several left the house as the
only means now left of bearing a testimony
against such a piece of Priestly usurpation.
Some one aware of the fact ~ventured to
tell brother White that the old gentleman on
ly desired TO give notice of a religious NEE
ting he contemplated holding in the after
noon. The brother made the amende Priest
ly, vindicating himself from any desire to
prevent the spread of the genuine article, and
the old man proceeded to state time and place
