fostering care it is hoped much may yet be
effected towards the elevation Of the colored
youth Of our city. 1t would not be difficult
to point to many families amongst them,
whose intelligence and moral standing in the
community, is Justly reierable to the early
training they received in these schools, and
it has afforded encouragement to many mem
hers Of this Society. to hear the acknowledge
ment Of numbers Of respectable individuals,
that to these schools, they were. under the
divine blessing, mainly indebted for their
success in life. Hence has also arisen that
thirst for knowledge amongst the colored
population. which has lead to the formation
of societies for promoting the exercise Of their
intellectual faculties. AVID for the pursuit of
literary and scientific objects.
The importance OF sustaining a Society on
which ~dey0lvss the performance of such ser
vices must be apparent 10 every rejecting
mind. and w cannot but solicit renewed in
ierest in its concerns from all those who de-
sire to witness the progress of those rrinci-
pies, which it was instituted TO promote. 1t
Is a LINK In the chain of operations. which
cannot be dispensed with, seeing that it per-
forms a part Of the great work which can be
done by 10 other Association. Those who
really love the cause of the slave, should
cherish this Society, give it their patronage,
thelT devoted, active and cordial support.
Let II be remembered that it was one of
the earliest inStrumentalilies through which
the great principles OF universal emancipation
were promulgated in America, and that by
ITS steady adherence to these principles du-
rIng a long course of years, its movements
have become closely interviewer with the yet
unwrilten history Of the Abolition ofSlavery,
SO far as 1t has yet progressed. That it may
continue its labors. until that great work is
completed, must be the ardent desire OF its
friends and supporters.

Church Action.

At meeting of the Congregational Church
in Sharon, Medina co., held April 9;h, 1918,
an address upon the subject Of slavery, and
the following resolutions were adopted-the
former being a preamble to the latter. We
nave not room this week to give more than
the resolutions.
Glad are we to see that light is spreading,
that signal fires are being kindled upon the
hill tops and the mountain sides. We would,
however, hat the action Of the church had
been a little more consistent. twill be seen
by the last clause of the 9th resolution that
they have not yet dissolved their connection
with the General Assembly, although the 9th
resolution declares they will not fellowship
those who fellowship Shareholders. Cannot
the members of the Sharon Church see that
their delegate to the Presby,ery is a link
which unites them in religious fellowship
with the meu-thieves Of the South! !
Therefore resolved.
/. That the Bible furnishes no sanction or
apology whatever for American slavery bat
on the contrary by its express ieacnings and
its entire spirit, fully exposes and utterly con-
dennis all such slavery.
?. That slaveholding in America is as great
a crime as slave-catchIng in Africa. and, in
deed, in consequence of the light of divine
revelation shining here, it is an immeasura-
bly, more aggravated crime.
3. That slavehoIding is always criminal,
except in the supposable case Of one who,
through the iniquitous laws in favor Of slave.
ry, becomes legally a stakeholder by heir
ship, but who instead of acqniescing in the
relation, utterly condemns and Iepudlates it,
and actually takes the shortest method to dis,
solve it.
4. That the teaching Of the pulpit should
expressly and in its whole tendency expose
and condemn SlaveholdIng.
3. That we will not admit slaveholding
ministers or such as fellowship Shareholders,
to our pulpits, nor slaveholding professors OF
religion, or such as fellowship Shareholders,
10 our communion.
6. That for a church of Christ to have any
such connection with slavery as sanctions Of
connives at it, is a ~reproach to the religion Of
Christ, and a matter of grief and insult tC
Christ himself and to the Holy Spirit, anC
must bring rebuke and darkness, aud if per
sisted in, final desolation upon that church
and therefore
That we do hereby request our ministe
and our delegate TO the Presbytery, to labo
to seek a speedy separation of that body from
the General Assembly with which it is con
nected, and from all the churches that hole
fellowship with slavery.
7. That we regard the colored man as on
brother, - made of one blood with MS, an,
entitled to the same rights and privileges i
the Church and in the State that white me
are entitled to.

A Valuable Document.

Our friend, Henry c. Wright, has presen'
ted us with "An Historical Memoir, Of the
Pennsylvania Society. for the Abolition Of
Slavery the relief of Free Negroes unlaw-
fully held in bondage, and for improving the
condition of the African race" This work
was compiled by Edward Needles, Of Phila-
delphia and embraces many valuable fact.
illustrative of the origin, labors, and progress
of that Society.
1t appears that the first associated action
in behalf of the colored man of which there is
any record, was on April 18th l775, when a
few persons in Philadelphia organized a So
ciety, the object of which is thus set forth
in the Preamble to its Constitution.
"Whereas, there are in this and the neigh
horhood states a number of negroes aud 9TH
ers kept in a state of slavery, who, we appre-
bend, from different causes and circumstan-
ces, are Justly entitled to their freedom by the
laws and Constitution under which we live.
could their particular cases be candidly and
openly debated, and evidence TO the best adj
vantage for them produced but as in Their
situation, they being tied by the strong cords
of oppression, are rendered incapable Of as
serting their freedom, and many through this
inability remain %uniustIy in bondage during
life lit therefore has appeared necessary thar
some aid should bo EXTENDED towards such
poor unhappy sufferers, wherever they may
be discovered, either in this city or IFS neigh.
borhood and as loosing the bonds of wick
edness, and setting the oppressed free, is evi
IDENTITY a duty incumbent on all the professor,
Of Christianity, but more especially AZ a tim.

Newspapers.

A man eats up a pound of sugar, and the
pleasure he has enjoyed is ended ; but the
information he gets from a newspaper is
treasured up in the mind to be enjoyed anew
and to be used whenever occasion or incllna-
ton calls for it. A newspaper is not the
wisdom of one man, or of two men it is the
wisdom of the age, and of past ages too.
A family without a newspaper is always
half an age behind the times in general in-
formation, besides they never think much,
or find much to think about. And there are
the little ones growing up in ignorance,
without any taste for reading.
Besides all these evils, there's the wife,
who, when her work is done, has 10 sit down
with her hands in her lap, and nothing to
amuse her mind from the tolls and cares of
the domestic circle. Who then would be
without a ewspaper!-Franklin
Who would be without a newspaper
Why hundreds and thousands who have so
many more important calls for their money
that they can't afford to take one. Aye,
rant afford that's the cry of those who are
ashamed to confess they are unable to appre-
ciate or be benefited by a good newspaper
they can't afford to pay two or three cents a
week for intellectual food. There are thou
sands who make such a plea when asked to
subscribe for a paper, who can afford to pay
twenty-five cents to see men and women be,
little themselves in the circus ring, can afford
to pay twenty-five cents 10 see the monkies
of a travelling menagerie, can afford to buy
tobacco and defle themselves with the nau-
seous weed, can afford, in fact, fifty other
qualifications of the kind, but cant afford 70
take a paper! Such are poor, indeed but ii
is not the lack of money that constitutes theiI
poverty. However rich in gold they are OF
may become, the curse Of poverty will still
cling to them, for such poverty is a curse
whether a man be poor or rich.
