SLAVERY IN THE ID. E. CHURCH.

Since the division it has over and over again.
been asserted, that the church free from.
Slavery. To all such as are lohorng under this
belief, we commend to their perusal the follow
ing, taken from the IHsleyn Christian 4droeate Of
May l5. 1t will speak for itself, without comment
of oars. And it comes SO well authenticated. that
none cGn doubt its truthiulnesss
METHODIST SHAREHOLDERS: -,
Strange as it may seem to some, it is neterths-.
less true, that there are some members Of our
Church who believe that, since the division of the
Church, we are now entirely free from all connec-
ton with slavery and Shareholders For the bene-
fit Of such | wish to say, if they will go with me-
will introduce them to person who is in good,
standing in our Church. who, few months SINCE,
sold Il slave to a southern adsr--the most
Idespcable character on eartE-end!when this slave
was delivered 70 his new master they had to tie
him hand and foot and throw him upon dray, and
and send him in this way to the steamboat that.
vas to cOn\ ey him south to the New Orleans saveI
market ,
"And in the same city where the above lhstahcs-
occurred, there was for many years in that slave,
pen prison, slave left there for sale to the.
highest bidder, whoever he might be, either st.
Clair or Legree all the same after q few days
this slave was purchased by of his old neigh.
bors, who was not willing to see him sold to thes
southern slavedryor; and this slave that was thus
sold, was not only the property Of Methodist but
also of Il Methodist preacher" =
IL stood by OCCASION, and saw d member,
of our Church and class leader at that purchase,
IA slave girl, the last and only child that a slave
mother had left. | stood and looked upon that,
poor motheras she kneeled before this man;I heard
her say, she sobbed bitterly 80 massa please,
spare my child! o, please spare my last earthly
comfort" And in this way she continued a
pray-it seemed to me enough almost TO move to
heart Of stones bnt he soon turned scornfully
away, saying he had not bought her to sell her
again, and thus her child away, where, in all
human probability, they would never meet ,aSain
in this world. And might continue and enumer-,
ate many moro similar cases that would vouch
for their truth, but the above is sufficient !, .
From the above considerations | am for the,
acton Of the Northern Indiana conference upon,
the subject of slavery; namely, Asking the
next General conference 10 say, by their actrou,
that no more Shareholders be admitted into, our,
church, and that they fix an early day. when those
who are now in shall liberate their slave OF for
felt their membership" : ~, S.tr,-sy
after stating the above facts, can Scarcely,
restrain my feelings, or stop my pen, ,withcus
making some comments but will row do is I
purposod when l began-I will lot faets speak
Tor themselves, without note or comment from me"
