An incident occurred in one OF our popular
t.urches worthy of note. The Pastor had ox-
changed puIpts with Buffalo brother; the good
brother found on the desk with other notices
that of Mr.. Garrison's lecture, which he read up
both loud aud plain" During the intermsson,
some OF the careful flock informed the stranger
minister that anti-savcry notices were forbidden
the pulpit Of that church: so, when afternoon
came, he begged the congregation to excuse him
lor having inadvertently read the notice oil the
aht-slaIery meeting, and assured them he would
not have done So had he not supposed that it had
been lald upon the desk with authOyGy! What Il
pity that more ot the churches had not strange
pastors ON that day, since the blunder Of that
caused several prominent members of that church
20 attend Mr. Garrlson's meeting, where they, no
doubt, came to conclusions similar to that OF Il
lady II this city, who stands high in the church,
Inns lady invited friend to accompany her to the
meeting. " Why" said he, do you not know that
Mr.. Garrison is inldel? Il know that the
world calls him an intde, but will not condemn
nm before giving him hearing, therefore go"
AiieI the meetng her friend said to her, " ell,
what think you now" why" she replied,
think that Mr.. Gnrrison's inhdelity consists in
having better Bible and worshiping better Coo
than those who cry out against him. Such intdel-
ny ioVe.' This lady solicited ah introduction to
MI: Garrison. Would that the people would waive
their preIudices long enough to listen TO such burn
lhg words OF truth rs fell that night from the lips
ot that almost Htitacle Of man. 1t is truly
deliul TO see with what clear and lucid arguments
he iorces truth into the hearts and cInsciences ol
his hearers.
need not tell you how strengthened and cheered
are the hearts OF the true friends OF the slave, that
