ANEW CHAPTER ON SLAVERY.

The chapter Just revised by the NJ. L. Confer
enco reads thus,
Question What shall be done for the extirpa
tion Of the evil of slavery.
Answer We declare that we are ae much as
ever convinced of the great evil of slavery. We
believe that the buying, selling or holding of hu-
man beings, to be used chattels, is contrary to
the laws of God and nature, inconsistent with the
Golden Rule, and with that Rule in Disci-
plno which requires all who desire to remain
among us, to do harm, and to avoid evil If eve
Try kind We therefore, afectionately admonlsh
sll our preachers and people to keep themselves
pure from this great evil, and to seek its ex.irpa-
ton by all lawful and Christian means.
A writer in the Northern Independent speaking
of this chapter says
As a simple declaration of sentiment this is tol-
cradle but as a means Of purifying the Church
from slavery, it will be next to useless. 1t will
not drive o Shareholder off, nor will it put one
out, or prevent one from coming in. Indeed, with
its two;faced preamble, we cannot regard it as a
whit better than the old chapter That did forbid
ministers and other officers to hold slaves, but
this really forbds hothing. 1t simply affection.
ately admonishes all our preachers and people to
keep themselves pure from what it has just de-
clared to be contrary to the laws of God and ma
ture, and inconsistent with the Golden Rule
What tremendous letting down, then, in that
last paragraph AS well afectionately admonish
all our people to keep themselves pure Of theft
and adultery. How much better simply 10 have
said Therefore, no stakeholder SHALL under any
circumstances ever hereafter be admitted into the
Methodist Episcopal Church. And even that
would have been defective, in not Erovidicg for the
expulsion Of the ten thousands already in" NJ.
