and as chaste as the drifted snow :-A society who are congregated for the delightful purpose of cementing the bonds of union in the great family of man, by promoting and cherishing brotherly love and affection: Whose motto is, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." Whose principles teach them to feed the hungry, and clothe the naked; to ease the aching heart of the father when his children are crying for bread, and he has none to give to cause the widow's heart to sing for joy, and to wipe the tear from the cheek of the distressed orphan. And is it for such principles, such professions, and such practices, that we are to be excluded" from the rights and benefits of the Church!" Com. Adv.

In addition to the above, we would request those Reverend Inquisitors to turn to the Gospel according to St. Matthew, and in the sixth Chapter, and twentythird verse of that Chapter, they will find these remarkable words:

"If, therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"-Freeman's Journal.
