Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1847-02-19

slavery is sinful under all circumstances, and
assured their brethren of the South, tina, thew
opposed slavery wholly on the ground Of en-
pediency; that they were driven to il BY the
private members Of the Northern societies.
and that they were leaving them for the Wes-
leyan connection. The Northern members
eulogized Bishop Andrews to the skies, but
said that it would be inexpedient to have a
siaveholding Bishop. At last they passed
the following resolutions:
LIST. Rss0ired, That Bishop Andrews name
stand in the minutes, hymn book and disci.
pline as formerly.
I'd. That the rule il relation to the support
Of a Bishop and his family, apply To Bishop
Andrews.
Sd. That whether in any or in what work
bishop Andrews is TO be employed, is 10 be
determined by his own decision and action
IN relation TO the previous action of this Con-
ference in his case"
Mr.. Kinney then read the general rule in
discipline against "buying and selling men,
women and children with an intention 10 en-
slave them," and compared it with the Wes-
leyan discipline upon this subject; but read
only about half the paragraph in the latter.
Was that honest? He then read the ques-
ton in the close of the NJ. E. discipline,
"What shall be done for the exlirpation Of
the evil Of slavery!" He acknowledged that
the church held slaves, but said that they
knew that if they taught them TO read as the
discipline recommends, they would emanci-
pate themselves. He said that they Were
charged with tolerating slavery because they
permitted Shareholders to remain in the church.
''Ofa all the sophistry," he said, "that capped
the whole. 1t would convict Almighty God
of tolerating sin, for he permitted sinners to
live in the world for their good"
He said he had one confession to make.
He attended the Ladies' A. S. Society, and
himself in a heterodox anti-slavery
meeting, and he would never do SO again.
He was astonished that they should pass a
vote of thanks TO Mr.. Walker for his lecture.
He was sorry for the lady that offered the
he presumed she was deluded. He
bought the same spirit that was manifested
here would have passed a vote of thanks to
he damsel that danced before Herod, and de-
nand I'd the head Of John the Baptist. He
lad defended his own church and could de-
end other churches in this place, but their
ministers were able 10 attend 10 their own
business. II would take a stronger force
y 1T
urer, to take any Of the members from their
ltar-remaTked that one Of Mr.. Walkers
colleagues said, that he could proven, a revi-
val for 80 miles round-thought he must have |
much Of the devil about him to keep every
thing good so far from him-that now the
only way for them 10 do, was TO form a sober,
reasonable, constitutional A. S. Society, care
fully guarded SO as TO keep out all these peo-
pie. He would give them some advice be-
fore he closed. These lecturers had been
there from time to time, and they had all
heard them. Now his advice was, refrain
from these people and let them alone. He
had one request 10 make of his congregation.
1t was this, that they go silently out Of the
house, and say nothing about the discourse
either approving or disappearing it. The
sermon WAS delivered to a crowded house
and caused considerable excitement.
