universal theory is that Christians should live togeth
BRETHREN but the practice is for each to
endeavor to destroy the influence of all the rest except
those Of their particular sect 1t is admitted in theory
that Temperance is important to the Salvation of the
Nation, while practice claims it is an infringement on
our rights Freemen. The acknowledged theory is
that governments instituted for the benefit of the
governed, while practice proves to be for the bene-
fit of those who govern. All admit in theory that men
born free and equal, while in practice they say,
every sixth man, woman and child, is born a slave.
Emancipation from Slavery is correct in theory, while
practice riyets the chains still closer, by voting for
savehoding pro-savery Rulers, sustaining pro-
slavery Churches,-thus extending the influence of
Church Slavery on the one hand while on the other,
go against it politically. Our theory in selecting men
for Office is, to have our candidates free from the,
shackes Of slavery, but in practice we select pro-
slavery churchmen the pioneers Of our cause.
Now sir ask if in all these respects at least, prac-
tice does not stand theory? 1t most certainly does
and that is the main cause of all the trouble in the
world The difficulty does not lie in not knowing
what is right, but in not doing as well as we know.
Now, Sir, bring Theory and Practice to harmonic,
and the great work of Moral Reform is more than half
done. Gods Law would be kept, Gods children
would live in peace, and influence would go forth
from them that would bless the world with Peace in
lieu of War, with Temperance in lieu of Intemper-
ance with Liberty in lieu Of Slavery, and Liberty
organization would soon accomplish its desired object,
and no would have need to say "know the Lord,
for all would know Him from the least to the greatest"

waited their standard of christian attainment in this
life, while this same Board, thro its contributions and
missionaries olerates, or winks at slavery caste, po-
ygamy and the picture and sant-worship of the Old
Armenian church, To elevate the standard of chris
tan perfection is to forfeit the appreciation and sup
port of the Board; while to lower it down to meet the
d9mln1s AMI secure the contributions of oppressors
and the corrupdons of an idoatrous church, is in
accordance with the policy now pursued. We speak
plainly but do we not speak truly? If not we will
gladly be corrected.
We rejoice that these brethren have been accepted
by the Missionary Association and that mission is
to be established under its direction in the capital of
Siam. To meet these increased demands upon its
treasury the friends ola free and pure gospel through
out the land, will need to enlarge their contributions.
After giving a lengthy statement of the facts in this
case, the Elk, Com. of the Am Mis- Association thus
conclude
"In view of these facts, the Executive Committee,
believing that our adorable Lord and Master would
have adopt this MISSION and sustain these BRETHREN
have resolved in His fear, and looking for His appro-
baton to go forward In order to success in this work
shall need enlarged contributions from the friends
of our Association, and from all who love our Lord
Jesus Christ and pray for the interest of his kingdom
An appropriation Of from $4,000 to $500 will be
needed for this mission the fist year, and not less than
$4,000 or $4,000 per annum thereafter DR., Bradley
and Mr.. Caswel greatly desire that the mission may
be strengthened by the addition of one or two ami-
lies In this desire the Committee cordially unite, and
will gladly endeavor to increase the missionary force
there whenever the services of suitable persons are
offered A larger sum, than is mentioned above will
then be needed"

EX-PREsIDENT ADAMS MOTHER.-The following
advice was impaired to the late eX-Presdent Adams,
by his mother in l77S, in letter to him while he was
in Europe; "Great learning and superior abilities,
should you ever possess them, will be of little value
and Of small estimation, unless virtue, honor integrity
and TRUTH are cherished by you. Adhere to the rules
and principles early instiled into your mind and re-
member that you are responsible to your God. Dear
as you are to me, would rather you would find
grave in the ocean which you have crossed than to
see you an immoral, graceess child"

The Town Poor.

No little excitement has been created in this town
by VOTE passed at the heel of our late March meet
ing, after great proportion of the freemen had left,
to sell or rent the Town Poor Farm, preparatory to
revival Of the old practice of selling off the unoru
nate poor to the lowest bidder! large and enthusi
astic meeting of the citizens was holden at the court
house on the Wednesday evening following, which
took strong action against this proceeding; and we
understand that another town meeting is in contempa-
ton to dispose of this subject. We had supposed
that this relic of barbarism was entirely abolished;
but learn to our surprise and modification that the
practice still prevails in many of our towns. This
practice of selling the poor is not quite bad as
gro slavery for some little regard is generally felt for
family ties the rights of citizenship and the protec
ton of law; but with all these redeemng features, it
smacks too much of human slavery to be tolerated
mong our Green Mountains. The uncertain tenure
by which even fortunes richest gifts are enjoyed, die
tate that comfortable and pleasant home should be
furnished for the unfortunate poor. This, however,
is but sefshness higher and nober principle should
govern us in making suitable provision for all such as,
from any cause, have been thrown upon the charities
of their fellow men.
