EXPERIENCE IN LITCHFrELD. r
On our arrival, VIC learned that the Methodists, s
assisted by some other sects, had been holding a pro-
meeting there for the past four weeks. AS T
interest was felt in theirmeeting,a and Z
fear expressed by some that our
presence would drive the Lord away" those only
came to hear us who believe in their obligation to
keep the second great commandment, which is
unto the frst-erjoining upon man to love his
as himself. We held four meetings
there, closing the last on Monday evening, and
having quite as many hearers as under the circum-
stances W had any right to expect.
The presence of some of our company ut the
protracted meeting, and q few words uttered
there, as well as some spoken after adjournment,
operated, in conjunction with our lectures. to pro-
duce considerable excitemens,I causing our oppo-
nents to exhibit some traits Of character that are
generally regarded as unsuitable. The sectarians
pursued their old plan, dealing in s%enseless
denunciatiop, yelpirg their cry Of infdelity, and,
coward-like, refusing us the right to deny their
untruthful charges in the pres ence OF the .tribu-
nal before which they were made. And yet they
are all bolitionists-as much $50 ns were the

There is a small, Baptist organization called the

l see by the papers that that eminent apostle of
modern Methodism-Parson OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

litioni.ts of the North to Christ and Slavery" is
about to fortify himself forithe undertaking by a
visit to the plantations and slave-quarters of the
South, so shat he may overwhelm all opponents
by . display. not of his experimental knowledge of
the system, but his obserrdtiondl knowledge.
These are sometimes very different things if we
may take the testimony Of Douglass and Brown in
relation to experience, and of Adams and Lord in
regard to observation.
Perhaps it is owing to an obtuseness Of intel
lect, but l cannot persuade myself that the mis-
sion of Paul, the apostle, and Of Brownlow, the
apostle are identical in character, although the
{ latter attempts to show that in the case Of Onesi-
mus, the former vas as good a slave.catcher ae he.
1t is true, Paul came to preach Christ Crucifed,
e and it is equally true that Brownlow breaches
s Christ Chaaelised but the one condemned the
n Jews for their wicked deeds, while the other JUST.
. fees the Shareholders in their atrocious acts, and
d consequently the position of the two seems to my
o unannoin.ed eyes very dissimilar. The acts o.
a this apostle of the 10Th, century ought as certain
y ly to be given to the world, as were those of thu
apostles of earlier times. Should any publisher
IS think it worth while to Issue an illustrated edition
n it would be as attractive to the lovers of tn

Parson Brownlow would, of course, have i
re taken for granted that he bad finished up all mis-
!. siona-y work at home before he thought of goin,
abroad to search for more. To show what hare
cases he had to deal with in his own parish, lie
