left to guess at the Writer'S character; ac-
cording to the merit of the article. There
fore we have come to the conclusion that a
wandering Star, or another comet has ap-
peared; according TO the length Of the tails
Of the article; and great blaze it made
But we do not wish to be tedious, by Civ
ing lengthy introduction, or.to use sarT
easm; only to answer a fool according to
his folly
Now as that article is more curious than
wise, and more false than true; we think
1t right TO defend the truth. and the jnDo-
cent, from the tongue, and pen Of the cal
umniator. After giving us a lengthy in

matter of his text, he gives us disserta.
tion on the gid nature of the law of Mo-
ses, las it is generally itermed) in which he
arraigns Moses, as having given too strict
law, and in so doing has charged the
DIVINE BEING with having given law,
that was unreasonable in its requirements;
and destitute of sound judgment or wis
dom; as the observance Of il would be
worse than the penalty annexed for nom
observance. Surely the man that enter
tains such an opinion Of that law, must
have a heart that is .sdeceitful above all
things, and desperately awicked."d He re-
minds me of the Hyena that approaches
the graves, of the pious dead, and brings
up Moses and John Bunyan..Z Hcoa I'D
Now it appears that the circumst anees
that gave rise TO this great blazing Star,
was resolution passed in quarterly con-
ference, at Rumley Station, Miami ANIMAL
conference, and published IN the organ of
the same, the Dayton Telescope. Fhe res-
olution disappearing of the members of the
church wearing hoops
And now We would say To All who may
feel concerned, that we. know of,no. such
place as Rumley Station in Miami confer
ence; and that the church publishes no
paper by the name Of Dayton Telescope"
Again, We would say that the ministers
of the church in the eye of the writer of
the article referred to, does not wear such
coats and pants, with hooks and eyes; as
described by that writer. And if they did
wear such clothing, and pay for them with
''country produce,"g or cash, no matter
which; so they get them honestly; We
think the ministers ofihat church are about
as well clothed as was John the Baptist.
We would say to our strange writer Of
the above named article, wetlHnk he made
some wild shooting; we would advise him
to take better aim at the truth and try to
get within gunsfot of the enemy, before
he fires again. He reminds me of the
Dutchman in the last war, when shout
three miles from the enemy he got behind
a tree, and commenced shooting ;some one
asked him what lie was doing; he replied
that he was shooting at "dem French and
Inschins," they said you fool you cant hit
them; the Dutcbman repliedi "better as all
dat, da cant bit me netterr n ia i'ff
We wonder why this blazing litmniary
did rot come in contact withtke Prophets
and Apostles; and modern Teformers, it
may be he has kept these in reserve for
another fire: if so we would advise him to
read the Sd chapter of Isaiah; please read
the entire lchapteF Then furn TO Tie. first
epistle of Paul to Timothy I'd chapter o, &
10, verses, then to dleifrstiepistle OF Peter
Sd chapter, Sd to 9th verses. And when
done with the Prophets and Apostles; We
would direct you to some Of the Refofmers.;
Please read Mr.. Wesley's sermon on dress,
jyou can find it in the second vol Of his
sermons, page 25s. Then read the sixth
section of the general rules IN the discips
line of the NJ. E. Church. iA2l'-f 2'il ser"
" We think when you have read all, 10
which we, have directed your attention;
you will find that the quarterly conference
Of Rumley Station, is not SC far behind the
times, as to be out Of good company o"i
We wonder why the writer did not come
out against John Wesley, as well as John
Bunyan; and why he did not see that the
discipline of the NJ. E. C. hail discovered
that new sin before the quarterly confer
ence Of Rurnley Station. Perhaps be did

that they have big guns and sharp shoot

where he could try to hit somebody, but
he supposed nobody could hit him. s'is1 %

anything against hoops. For what man

Slams Is a worshipper Of the great goddess

things cannot be spoken against, We ought

We suppose the reason Why the quar-!

that resolution is, they wish the members
Of the church to get 10 Heaven; and they
could not see how they could enter ii at
the STRAIT GATE, and travel in the NARRow

- We will now close by offering upsa
prayer for him who wrote the srticle on
the discovery Of the ne,c siia, hoping the
LORD will make his heart as soft as bis !

sins both new and old. Amen. r ~ pa
