Dome AWAY WITH LAWYERS
The Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation Of Pittsburg, have adopted
a policy which must be alarming
to the lawyers Of that city. At a
recent meeting, resolutions were
adopted for the appointment Of
whom the members Of the associa-
ton, and all others who may wish
to have all personal difference set
tied in obedience to Christian rules,
may bring their matters Of contro-
versy. A Pittsburg correspondent
Of a religious paper says:
The object Of this movement. is
to open the way for q more general
observation Of the injuctions plainly
given By Paul, in the sixth chapter
Of his first EpistIe to the Corinthi-
ans. It has long beena disgrace to
those calling themselves Christians,
that instead Of an attempt am:cably
to settle the difference, as well as
those who renounced the world and
become brethren in Christ, they go
to law with each other, and that,
before unbelievers.''
How often, when a member of
one denomination Of Evangelical
Christians has sued a member Of
anothert and the courtroom has
become the scene Of hostile if not
revengeful measures between them,
do the people Of the world standing
BY, exclaiIn, e Behold how these
Christians LOVE one another !"-
The day is past for converting peo-,
pie to christianity by only an ex-
hibition of its theory--by preach
ing of love, good will, and forbeza.'F:
ance, whilst its professors, npn
every occasion Of 1ancied insult or
ruah. upon each other With
all the bitterness Of litigation. It
will be hoped that the steps taken
by the association Of our city will
be initiated, and that churches, III
iividuaIly, viii also join IN the effort
to show the world that when they
pray s Thy will bedone on earth as
It is IN Heaven, y they mean some.
thing more than the ezpzession Of
an abstract idea. /
