The Evangelical Alliance

Some of the religious papers have startcd ih question for what practicnl object this Allianc was formad, if it inhea no Cognizance of the ae tions of men, and labors only to conven them t an prthodox belief. Chriot recognized thoso a lus disciplea and friends who should do whaisoevor he commanded-who should do the wilJ o his Fathor in heaven. The Christian Freeman, of Hartford, in commenting on that provisión wliich udmits al Slaveholders as membero, if only orthodox in faith, snys, - "A blcssed unión it Will undoubtedly be. in which the only requiremont is nu orthodox creei) Men must bclicoc the ecripturos to enter the AI linnce,' but it is of small consequenco whcihc they obey them. "O niy sou!, come not thói into thoir secret ; unto thoir assembly, mine honor, be not thou united." Wo are reminc'ed by sncli procccdinc, of the parody by a methodist minister who üved some yeurs at the Soinh, iour Btanzas of which we wil quote in conclusión : Come, sa in ts ond inner, licarme teil, 11 ow pious priosts whip Jnck and Nelí, And womeli bny, and chUdren sell, And preacli all sinners down to heil, And slng of hcuvenlv union. They'II ciiurch you ifyou sip a dram, And damn vou if you stealn lamb, Yct rob oíd Tony, Dolí nnd Sam. Of humnn righls, and bread and ham, Kidnapper' s lieavenly union. Thcy'l! re-.l and Fing n sacred song. And make a prayer boih loud ond lonp, And tench t!ie riglit, and do ihe wrons, Hailing thobroiher, 6sier throng, VVitlt icords of heavenly union. They'II talk of heaven and Christ'e rcward, And bind his iirue with a cord, And scold and swintr the lash abhoired, And sell their brother in the Lord, To hand-cvjfcd heavenly union."
