Pot know in what particular part OF the world It is
Proposed to oblige Heaven and favor Christianity
BY the noble expenditure of this money; but. for
cbce WE hope thai the obduraie King of the Can
nlba Islands viii be- left to his fate and that the
Cumberl,nders will remember that charity begins
at home. As those fortunate piggers" have been
permitted h, the wisdom Of the Cumberland Church
to devote Themselves to the work of extending the
Arena of the Faith, they should at least have the
chance If rrapiOg some benefit personally from the
tronsacton 60 that, when Kentucky has been
thoroughly ChrstiapIsed and converted, ut their
personal eos, and expense, they may find. as the
result of their devotion, fewer foggings and fuller
fare.
But. we ask with great Difference, must it
not be to each of these favored bo ,dsmen
a source of pure and proud satisfaction to
know that, in toe providence of God, they,
the Lowry. the oppressed, and the degraded, have
been permitted 10 offer themselves living SACRIFICES

shrinking from self devotion, mindful of our own

does this perncl0us freedom make US. Whereas,
We suppose that these poor negroes submitted to
their fate without murmur, AID blessed the p,ous
hands which iet Ut their muscles, and saw the light
Of Christian love 10 the eyes which examined their
teeth. Some natural tears perhaps they shed as
they marched from home, or from ali OF home

they submitted to their destiny with all the sweet
ness Of religious resignation.
But, as We have said, the inal disposition of
these sacred funds is ye, uncertain. The Cuuoer-
land General Assembly ia huding on with faithful
trnsciy; but the heirs of the debating Treasurer
are still active. If these holy neg ,oes should by

the church AZ the lawyers, the information may
cost them a psng We are afraid that they will be
apt to consider themselves wasted and squandered.
