John Brown still lives mud will lire. He some
times felt that spiritual weapons failed and that
carnal weapons should be employed. 1t Was 50
thst Cromwell thought He mixed fighting
With praying and singing. But it WIS not
necessary now to use carual weapons. If
Christians had used spiritual weapons, as they
ought, carna1 weapons would not now be
thought Of, and John Brown would not hare
been martyr. Christians and the Church hare
been delinquent upon this great evil. They
must now come up to the work. He had voted
sloue for many years. We must let our politics
shine forth in our religion
Rev. II. S. HAMMOND did not think the time
had come for the Lord to put into our hands the
sword, but he did not know how soon it would,
Suppose the next President elected should be u
Republican, and the South rise in arms and say
he ahall not be inaugurated. then We must say
that be shall be; and if 1t be necessary to fight
for ii, ne must do it. I have prayed that tho
erent re tonight commemorate might not take
place, but the deed is done, and will now pray
that the time will come when such events shall
not take plnce.

then offered by Mr. GoopxAx.
