of kindness, rendered her easy of approach secure

FREEMEN AND FREEDMEN.

The little letter d-what vast difference
it makes in the comparative significance of
these two titles To be freeman is to be
born to liberty, or to have acquired liberty.
Freedom is blessing to be inherited or to
be acquired, or both; but it cannot be given
by man to man. To be freedman is to be
born q slave, and to have received the pre-
ence of freedom from men. And the rea-
son why freedom cannot be given is that it
depends on character. 1t must needs be the
result of birth, and blood, and training, or
else of ideas received into the mind, and de-
sires awakened in the soul, and character de-
veloped within man or people, which ne
cessarily units him or them for bondage,
and as necessarily forces him to strike for
freedom.
Daniel O'COnnell used to say to his poor
countrymen:
&c Hereditary bondsmen, know We not,
Who would be free, themsee must strike the blowT'
DR.. R. j. Breckenridge said that however
universal the desire for freedom amongst
men, few of the nations had been able to &c.
cure it for themselves, and still fewer to pre-
serve and maintain it after getting it.
Mr. Calhoun said it is a great and dan
gsrOus error to suppose every people equally
entitled to liberty. Ga the contrary, he
wisely held that it is the high reward of men
tai aud moral development This great
statesman also said the progress of people
from lower to higher scale Of liberty is
necessarily slow, and that by attempting to
precpitate it We may retard or permanently
defeat it. In other words you cannot give
freedom to a people; it must be developed
from within them, and it must slowly grow
into mature strength. How was it with
British freedom, which is the nobleSt and the
Grmeat growth on the face of the earth
Why, that is the growth of centuries and
for that very reason it is so solid and so safe.
Our ancestors long ago were the heirs of
some freedom; but in the struggles of the
Parliament with the Stuarts the English PEG.
pie constantly acquired more and more
And still as their liberties grew they learned
the better to use, and value, and maintain
them. Macaulay, in one of the notes to his
great History, points out how our fathers
were not accustomed to contend for the rights
of men, but the rights of BritOns. These
surely are two very different qualities. And
how preposterous' would be the attempt to
give British freedom to the Russians, or
even to the French; much more to Indians
or Africans,

The most solemn attention was paid throughout.
No disturbance except the crying of some children.

Leandro and Csrrero did well in their parts, also
the deacons in seating the people, taking up col
lecions, and the elders in distributing the hymns
and tracts to the congregation. The church is

white-washed within, and contains nothing but

day was $l06, though most of it came from for

a Missionary Portfolio.

lions Herald offers the following suggestion to
pastors in reference to the monthly concert for
prayer for foreign missions:
ut is a happy device of some of our pastors, to
have carefully arranged portfolios, with large pro
visions for missionary intelligence and illustrations
These gathered riches become invaluable resources
on such occasions, and enable the earnest minister
to give point and significance to his addresses
that cannot be otherwise as well attained. The
lack of lively sepsibility in our membership upon
this great question, wherever it exists, is to be at
tributed to the fact that the moral sense has not
been adequately cultivated on this side. There
may be an apology for lack of missionary enthusi
asm on the part of our laymen, but there is none
for the minister. His great and only commission
covers the whole field and it is his duty, as he
loves his Master and would fulfil the dispensation
of the gospel entrusted to him. to arouse the faith
and courage of his flock, and to call forth their
prayers and contributions, for the worlds redemp'

Graves was called to the chair, and Mr.. james K.
Guy was appointed clerk.
The following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas LeesviIe church and the session of

church that they will apply to the Presbytery OF
Montgomery, at a called meeting IN Lynch0urg on
the 2lst inst, to take such steps as Will transfer
our pastor, DR.. Shepperson, from his present held
of labor to one within their own bounds, therefore
be it resolved by this congregation,
l. That We view with deep concern and anxiety
this proposal to sever the relations which have ex.
listed so long and SO tremendously between US, and
pastor TO whom we are bound by the strongest
ties of personal friendship, and tor whom we feel
the highest esteem and veneration.
3. That we believe the ministry of DR.. Shopper
son among us has been greatly blessed, not only IN
giving high moral tone and character to the cause
of Presbyieriansm in this community, but also In
bringing sinners to repentance, and in building up
believers in their most holy faith. He has preach
ed to us ably, faithfully, and acceptably. His walk
and conversation among us have been above re-
proacb his conservation OF himself to the work OF
the ministry complete, and his self.denial entire.
3. In view of these facts we do exceedingly doubt

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

MATERIALIsM IN ITS RELATION TO MODERN
CIVILIZATION. An Address delivered by Rev. DR..
I. D. Witherspoon, Petersburg Va, before the
students of Davidson College, N. c.. has been pub
lished in pamphlet form.
A vigorous and timely discussion of topic which
just now turns up in the minds of many. Mate
riasm is an old heresy-oft refuted and discredi-
ted, but revamped, and claimed as demonstra-
ton. 1t will soon run its course but in the mean
time may work the mischief for which the father
of lies" is using it. On this account such produc-
ons as this address are very useful as antidotes to
the poison. Nothing could be more perniclous in
its moral effects than the prevalence of material
ism. An old writer has pertinently said that
Whenever men come to persuade themselves that
they die like brues it will not be very long before
they will desire to live like them"
