William II. Lee. Several communications
which had come in during the previous ses-
sions of the body, were read and referred to
appropriate committees.
DR.. Nathan Brown, corresponding Secrc-
tary Of the Free Mission Society, submitted
a few remarks OH these letters, con9ratu uiat-
inw the members upon the bright and glow
in@ prospects which opened up before them
in The near future. He animadvcrtcd very Sc
ycrcly upon the course of those who were
opposed to the action and cause OF this socl-
tv. In regard TO the statement of Dr.. Bur-
crows ON Yesterday, that he "was unrecog-
nised at the North" the speaker remarked
that il served him right that DR.. Burrows
was traitor to his country; his hand was
red with the blood of his tellow-men; and
for that reason he deserved all ana more
than the treatment which he had received.
In regard to the two rival Societies which
had been spoken of, he was more and more
convinced that they should be separate ana
distinct from each other. But let them
work harnoniouslv together, and it will
take more than Il Stonewall jackson
riding around with his cavalry-1 mean Dr.
Simmons-to drive wedge III between
them and split them asunder.
Rev, james B. Taylor, corresponding Sc
cretarv of the Foreign Mission Board OF the
Southern Baptist Convention, was intro
duccd to the Society. as was also Rev. j. a.
ChamblisS, pastor of the Second baptist
church, .,..,:,
in regard to caste offered by h!m on ycster-
dav. lie said the term caste" is borrowed
from Il Portuguese word which siSnllca
lineage or race, and is used to distinguish
race, lineage, condition. God Almighty
forbids any such thing rs caste in his Holy
Word. He is no respccter OF persons, but
in every nation he that feareth God and work
esh Righteousness is accepted of Him. And
to have "respect of persons" means caste.
Is it true that caste exists to-day III our
| American churches? DR.. Burrows on yes
tcrday proclaimed that it existed not Only
| in the South, but also in the North. Inc
question is not sectional one DuI are
| there such distinctions existing III The
| Church of God? The fact is apparent to all
that there are. The men who proclaim
| their belief in the doctrine don't worship
the God that he does. We as a society have
| been fighting against this principle for more
| than quarter of century, and to be false
now would be to be false to the Christ VINO
redeemed us. He had never met an agent

man. You send out man to preach the
Gospel to dying men, and he is told, as we
were told Yesterday, that the time has not
come for him to preach to white men. Can
this be so. Has not the time come! Are
Won thus to be debarred from fulfilling the
demands Of God? He would rather tear
down every pulpit in the land than to give
utterance to such sentiment. The Bap-
| fist Church is the only evangelical organlza-
ton in The world. He recognized no Pedo-
Rantist organization as evangelical.

We are told that we are just disturbing the
workings of the Church. The recognition on
of this principle is given by God, ana ne
