The forward movement OF tne
Freedmen's Aid and Southern Educa-
ton society had happy exempiihca-
tion here last Su day and Monday
three such secretaries as Drs Hartzeli,
Gray and Chadwick would almost
resuscitate a corpse. Inheriting the
great work of DIR. Rust, they have
nut three mighty lives into it, and
make It thrill with pulses of new
power, It is indeed forward move
ment which they have inaugurated-
kindling great fires of interest in the
nrominent cente,s Of Methodist popu-
lstion East, North, and West. Never
"a. the Church so well informed OF
tha aims. needs, and achievements OF
hi, Society Is now. Its relations to
the conscience and interests, not only
of Methodism, but the whole country.
have been vividly presented 1he
-. debt to the ctlored people
-, grtial atorement for the meas
ureless wrongs inficsed upon them
almost as much by the acquiesence Of
the North as by the active agency OF
the South-has been portrayed as
that our cry is, Verify we are all gull
ty before God. In the work for the
freedmen througout the South is de-
veloped mighty factor to create and
perpetuate loyalty to the old flag, 50
that both conscience snd patriotism
are served. The country understands
that tt g unseen ressl,s of the Fr,e
mems All Society ale quite as I'M
portant as those which are open and
greeted by all men with thanksgiving.
One can but fesI that the directory
of lie Society should be Church wide
instead Of local. The additional exs
pense Of travelling from the coasts to
,he canter v. u,d be Insignificant com
nared with the increased interest and
offrings that thus would be stimulat-
ed. It is no reflection upon the earn
est and wise directory as it now exists
to say the: not otherwise can the
and results aimed at be reached.
Our reports are unusually full.
Read every line. See how frank and
free the discussions were, and with
what perfect good feeling the speak
ers differed among themselves. There
was q profound agreement at bottom;
the consecrated purpose to do the ut
most to lift up the lowly and deliver
the oppressed. There is no cause OF
grea.er importance than that repre-
sented BY this Society; none that de-
serves more generous and constant
personal and pecuniary support;
none that Is In greater need.

we're filled by visiting representatives

The loyal son of New England is
by inheritance and education The
friend of the colored man. Massae
chusetts led the cause Of Abolition
through such able, noble, and heroic
champions as 10 carry the heart and
brain Of the best Of New England.

Liberstor r. still gratefully fresh in
