A Third Term of Haneyism.
| The Methodist nationals 10 Moline are
unhappy. About two weeks ago the pre-
siding elder of this district was here on
his last visit before conference, and. as
usual, held a consultation with the dea>
cons and leaders in the church relative to
the appointment of a preacher for the en-
suing year. 1t is customary for the au-
thorities to ask the church what their
pleasure Is and then use their own judg-
ment in sending man. In this instance
Haney's ardent political supporters told
the elder that they did not think it best
for the church that he be returned here,
but suggested that he be given charge
in this congressional district Other mem
bers Of the church, who have not been led
astray by his fiat doctrine, begged and
commanded that preacher and not pol
itical demogogue be sent them. In fact,
all agreed that third term of Haneylsm
would be the death OF the society here.
To all these entreaties the elder replied
that the Moline Methodists had got
Haney into politics aud they must
now stand by bim; that if be was remov-
ed to new charge and failed of election to
congress it would be the ruin of himself
and family and even intimated that the
assessor would back slide" Thus mat
tiers stand, and thereis deep sorrow among
the true friends OF the society,-those who
value their religious doctrine above politi-
cal success.
2 The church as II society is certainly not
to blame for Haney's conduct, and to ra-
tional or reasoning people it has suffered
abundantly for any errors in Judgment il

A Living Epistle.

A young man joined one of our church
es on examination, recently, whose expe-
rience is worth telling. He was the son
of pious parents. They talked with him,
prayed with him, made him read the
Bible, and go to church. But every effort
and influence seemed only to harden his
heart. In early manhood he became an
avowed skeptic, and repelled with rude
ness every attempt to talk with him
about his soul. He was intelligent and
thoughtful, however, and hence, though
he would not read the Bible, God sent
him living epistle that he was compell-
ed to study, and that brought him to
Christ. In the family there was rela-
tive, young lady, who had been so
fretful and quick tempered that she
made all around her unhappy. She was
absent, at school / think for some
months. When she came back she was
80 changed that all who knew her wond-
cred and rejoiced She was patient,
cheerful, kind. unselfsh, charitable. Her
lips distilled honey instead of gall. Her
presence brought sunshine instead of
clouds. The young man, after watching
her closely for a long time, and becoming
satisfied that the change was radical,
asked what caused it. 1t was not any
power of her own, but the power of God
don't believe that God had anything to
do with it. though she imagines that He
did, yet 1 would like to be as amiable as
she is, and 1 mean to be-" He tried to
control his temper, He formed resolu-
tions. He kept, as he thought, most
vigilant watch over himself But it SEEM
ed to do no good. He was constantly
surprised, and overcome. Whenever he
failed he would turn and study again
that living epistle: How is it that she
does what l cannot do She must have
help. 1t must be, as she says, power
not her own. l will seek that power
He went into his chamber, and prayed to
the God whose very existence he had
denied. He prayed earnestly, and God
heard him. Light dawned upon him, a
light from heaven. in whose radiance he
has walked and rejoiced for many weeks.
Now if every Christian was living epis-
tie, would not more of such skeptics be

protected and guaranteed by that Con-
stitution and Union which our adversa-
ries alleged they took up arms to main
tain and keep intact and defend. More
over, they took no part in that fratricidal
struggle, save when forced to join the
ranks of the invader and wage war
against their best friends and benefactors.
On the banditti principle that might

the spoils' only, therefore, can this rob-
berry of an impoverished people be justi-
fed.
Having thus established to their own
satisfaction the nconstitutionality of the
amendment, the spoliatlon and violent
wickedness, which, while it did not, as
they contend, seize or appropriate "pri-
vate property" recognized and protected
by the Constitution, abolished an institu-
ton of the Confederacy-that sum of all
villainies," domestic slavery-abhored by
the Christian civ illzation of the age, it
continues:
We cannot but indulge the hope that
when we have helped to extinguish the
public debt, and time has healed the
gaping wounds of the past, when reason
and brotherly love shall have fully gained
the ascendancy over prejudice and hate,
even though it shall be the next genera
ton, brave and honorable peole of the
same blood and lineage will see to it that
the value of our property in slaves shall
be returned to those from whom it was
wrongfully wrested. 1t will do no harm
to keep this question before the people,
that they may preserve the records and
proper memoranda of their former slaves,
in the event that returning sense of
justice on the part of the Federal Govern
ment may compensate them, at least in
part, for the loss of this portion of their
rightful property.
And as means to that end, the liqui-
dation of those claims by the nation, the
assessment of $400,000,000 upon the in
dustry and property of the loyal States
for the benefit of the ex-rebel slave
holders, lists or rosters have been
prepared in all the late slave States,
embracing the number of slaves liberated,
