TnE STRANGE HEREsv TRIAL-AN-
OTHER llIGIIER LAw.--We have already
referred 10 tia trial and convict,an Of the
Presbyterian Church in this city, OF the
charge Of heresy. 1t appears that The
reverend gentleman, in q sermon which he
recently delivered, said, among other
things. that the proyidential existence Of n
government entitled it to u conscientious
obedience; and as this was contrary to the
icncts Of the church 10 which lie belonged,
he was put upon his trial,
We apprehend that few people eyor I'M
ngined that we have In our midst n relio inns
sect, like these modern Coronantcrs. who
hold it sinful tn bo connected with govern.
ments that arc not founded on their views
OF Christian aud moral principles. This is
certainly an anomaly. Government is cs-
tablishod for the welfare Of the community,
for tho protection Of the weak against the
strong, aud for the security at liip, lib
erty, and property; and yet ihosn people,
while they alisclam al. connection with the
government, AMI try ono nf tltoir pastors
Tor l.ercsy in saying that the prnvi'lential
existence OF a government entities il To a
conscientious obedience, are protected by
that government in all ,l,0ir rights. and
even in The indulgence OF their religious
Ia,laticism; and woulh no doubt, be very
desiruus OF reGcivn z the protection OF that
goyeftnalent should those rights be Invaded
This Is another phase of The .'highcr law"
'of w!,icb We, bavo heard sn much lately.
What. in The name Of common sense, is
the world coming to7 THIS trial shows
with how jealous an eye this sect watch
their members. lest they should lie iounl
among the ranks ai those proessed
Christians who take part with human gov.
ernmcn,s that are, necessarily in some
degree. nuholy. The Covenan,ols still
believe in governments, but they must be
founded strictly on the word OF God. Such
government Gcrrit Smith aud his follow.
crs are also endeavoring To realize. We
think they will all havo To wait some iino
first. We fear ,hal the sgool tine con-.
