COMPLIMENTARY TO OUR EVANGELICAL
BRFTHREN."-The Rev. Mr. Smith, of the
American Missionary Association, who for
FIVE years has been visiting nearly all tie
Southern States, reports rather lugu-
briously of spiritual matters among the
negroes. As he had to deal with Protest
ants exclusively, who is limited" at when
he says, " the negro piety Of the South is
the growth of corrupt Christianity, as cor
rupt as that Of some Of the Eastern ma
tions % Can he mean to reflect on our
Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist breth-
rem Here is conclusion, after all the
machinery of Bible SOCIETIES, Tract soci ties
and colporteurs But we will give an ex-
tract:
The negro piety of the South is the
growth of corrupt Christianity, as corrupt
live in the land and according to some OF
the forms of the early Christians. Their
church members need the Gospel as much
as the ArmeniaDs of Turkey; and the Cos
pei cannot be brought to them through
their old church organizations and minis
these people to see that conversion implies
q penitent life as we'll as profession. Cal
whistle church discipline for immortality is
very rare among them, and these are more
often carried through on account of
personal or family. quarrel. In one of the
l6EX0SU CuuICuCS HI OCOASA0, IsS0O nVutk, u
man was immersed on Sunday, and on
Monday was convicted of stealing ten dol
lars at Sabbath school picnic. No
notice of it was taken by the Church or
pastor"
Mr.. BUTT. @. C.-Surely this gentleman
ought to stand high in the esteem of the
Catholics Of Ireland. He avails himself of
every opportunity to promote the union
and best interests of all classes, and al
though himself Protestant, lie exerts his
oratorical powers in behalf of, besides con-
tributing directly to, every Catholic charity.
On a recent occasion he addressed a meet
ing held in Dublin for the purpose of rails
ing funds to complete the new church of
St. Mary of the Angels. The learned gen.
tlemen made o most telling speech, in
which he passed an eloquent eulogium on
the struggles of the Irish Catholics to erect
the churches which had arisen throughout
the country. He referred feelipgly to the
many memories connected with the old
"Church Street Chapel" and begged of all
when they thought of the penal days to do
80 in the spirit of liberation and forbear-
ance. He concluded by saying that he
knelt not. at the same altar with most
of them, but he would say to all of them,
stand by the common faith Of their COM
mon Christianity, and if they did, he wcald
bid them God speed, and he would help
them. Referring to the toiling Capuchin
fathers, he begged of his hearers to sustain
those good men in pluckins from despair
the way-worn sinner, upcared for and ne
elected. He would give them his aid, and
regretted that il. WAS not more. Let them
be united, fori1 unity was the hope of Ire
land, and IN disunion the surety of their
prostrasfon. The few words that he had
spoken he had spoken from his heart, be-
Cause in speaking them he might do a little
good to the cause, not alone Of that. church
or building, bat to the cause of Christian
charity, Christian federation, and, as he had
said, of that union amongst Irishmen of all
creeds and classes, without which their
country could not rise from its FRUSTRATED
position. These words from one Of the
leading Protestants of Ireland are of hope
full national augury.
