u very much regret that the qnes- q
iiot oil slavery has divided various chris j
siaI denominations into Northern and Z
sso3thern churches. The division hoWev .
~ has taken acebetween tie Pfesbyte 3
rihs, between the MethodistsI and also $
Between Others. And it seems that they .
nave ragreed to disagree forever upon I
liz, Institution Of slavery as II exists ~ i
the South. y
We, therefore, hope the time i not far q
distant when every religious denaonina-
tonyf Trgiaiia, and the entire South \
| viii hold and entertain the same views &
4 upon the institution Of slavery Az are now Z
held and maintained BIZ The M~ethodistEE
Church, South. And this should hc so.
Whit an anomaly does i present, and in
what 4 contradiction does " place the !
people Of The slave holding States, tohaye /
ii their midst and to be supporting any 4
religious sect whose doctrines are that I
African slavery isa sin, Of that y is q /
moral, social Or political evil We r. /
peat that such 4 state Of things is AMI
anomaly, is a Capitalization. And Vir I
