that kind OF piety Is good for England, it
is better to Keep il at home. The Rev.
gentleman then related an anecdote about
the request of the celebrated John Angel James,
to tell them how in America missions were
supported without royal patronage. He was

know that he was man, and peer of the

and asked him, ''Why dontyou release your slaves,

The reverend gentleman then read an extract from
an English paper, published in Bristol which he
had received that eveningfor good natured friends
way ofkeepng his humility all right. The article
stated that Mr. Garrison had done more to protect
tho religion Of the United States than threetourths
Of the clergy. SO, then, religion is Garrison

They say that If the clergy from this country go to
the Worlds Fair. they must be questioned, and
submit to an antslavcry test, before they are per-
mited TO occupy the pulpits in their churches. For
himself, he would them at Guinea or Liberia

lar confession. -lGreat laughter The original
sin ofcapturing slaves IN Africa and bringing them
here, belongs to England; and circumstances
sent to her In vain from these states, when
they were colonies, from the time OF Saucy Bcss TO
the impudence of the Stuarts, and the dull con-
foImity Of the Georges Laughter. THE course
by the English and their itineran lecturers
came under the scripture denunciation against be-
ing busy bodies in other mems matters. That was
placed in the Bible in the same category with the
maieiactor and the thief. 1t was like man at
tempting to correct tho faults Of his neghbor's
child by chastisement. In the New Testament
there was passage which enjoned slaves
under the yoke to be obedient to their own
masters God has never in the New Testament
ordered the shareholders to give up their slaves.
When christianity commenced, the world was re-
markable for two th,ngs-one was idoiatry, and the
other was slavery. Why there difference
made! ldoatry was strictly prohibited, slavery
was not The reverend gentleman then went on to
State that the Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian
churches were split into North and South by the
rabid slavery agitation. The men who caused this
schism were guilty oil similar SIN TO that OF Jero-
boam who Gated division in the twelve tribes Of
Israel which has been healed to this day, and
ter Of the tribe have been lost that Dr. Robin
son himself cannot find them. The history Of
the past is the light of the present, and the
prognosis Of the future. Jeroboem was immor-
tailed in the Bible the who made Israel to

Now, when this country is taking care Of herself,
more than half the States are free, and more would

In conclusion, the rcverned gentleman said he be-
loved, notwithstanding the doctrine Of the learned
Aga III, that the negro race had common origin
with the white man. But il any thing was wrong,
let it be reformed by law. Ii the law was not
despotic, there could be no freedom, and no seeu-
rity for person or property.
Mr.. LATRoBE, Of Baltimore, next addressed the
meeting. He said, in 1916 he saw light in little
church in Washington, and on entering found a

minated pal. Of beauty, only e1ualled by the living
