evident that hut three results Iossibl in re-

right religious instruction, they must r celve

The eecond they will have If We do not give them
the first; but even imperft ct and error eous rtI-

The greatest calamity that could well occur TO
our country would be TO have b"dy of bare aIians
and heathens settled among US, With cOn7idtra-

taught defective and errOnt Gus religion The
only preventive Is to teach them true religion

of white teachers and cergymen can BE- procured

interests OF Themselves and Of ourselves seem
clearly t" require the establishment o p
schools for them, and we Ou- ut on every ground
to rejoice when such schools are est blieh, -
What our christian obligations require can hardly
be doubted when remember the jun non of
our Lord Jesus Christ that we shout go forth
and preach the Gospel to every creature.
