We fully appreciate the power for good
of the Church of America. To its credit
be it said, it is generally in the fore front
of every battle for more ample recog'
milton of the doctrine of human rights
But during all these weary months, while
oppression and murder have done theil
bloody work in the South, the Church has,
as rule maintained an attitude of studied
indifference. We have appealed in vain
to the clergy to sound the note of alarm,
to place the seal of priestly condemna-
ton upon the horrible atrocities commit
ed by Southern whites npon Southern
blacks. That the clergy should inyeigh
against every class of crime, leaving out
only the crime of all crimes-the whole
sale murder of one class of citizens by
another class of citizens-scemeda mon
strsus absurdity. We rejoice that the
spell is broken. From Boston, the source
of SO many grand movements in the IN
teres. Of humanity, the voice of the
Church is at last heard in hearty common
dation OF the action of the President Grant
and General Sheridan in louisiana. The
Methodist preachers Of Boston and vicini-
ty, in convention assembled recently,

for interfering to preserve law and order
in New Orleans. They also thanked

Should this road be built we believe
Toledo will be ready to do all in her power

They can be built and equipped with q
