Conscience and this would be done. How was it, then,
that the churches rejected this mission and upon the

the churches were aroused into genial and compre-
hensye effort then the work would be done. 1t had been

Tracts should be set in motion as clouds tightening
the air everywhere. Then there should be conven-
tons of all religious bodies in relation to this sin. This
was one of the objects Of church Anti-Slayery soc

be attacked BY the church and the press.
The Rev. Mr. WORTH concluded the exercises with
