manifests towards us the. amc Confidence, fche
is even more firm and decided than her friend.
She frequent our meetings, with perseverance.
She declares that she lias never heard the doctrine
of justification explained in a manner so clear.
She is pretty well instructed, and has considerable
acquaintance with the scriptures. She has many
times brought iofthe meeting a; voung female, her
friend, who, also; has appeared to take a lively in

In consequence of our relations with these per-J

old man, of eighty years, who 'profe sses the' doc

set upon eertain opinions not very important ; and,
being remarkably timifl, he lias a great dread of

CONVERSION. OF CATHOLICS.
We have for some time considered it highly
desirable that the American community should
become awake to the danger which threatens
our liberties from the prevalence of 'Romanism.
And we have seen with satisfaction, that! a spirit
of inquiry has been awakened pretty extensively
from which the best results are anticipated ; for
if the nature of Romanism comes 'to be under
stood, its inconsistency with republicanism will
he seen, and measures will be adopted to prevent
the threatened evil. At the Samfi t ilT u n !nnr...

are generally emigrants, and should; receive the
Hospitality ritsc to -strangers; and, in addition to
all, most of them have suffered as the victims of
despotism, and surely they should find sympathy
in this land of the free. II i
We have, however, been of late much gratifi.d
in seeing several editors inn

A reader of the Bible cannot believe that Ro
manism is Christianity; nor can he believe that
many of its devotees are in a statd of sah-ntion
It must, therefore, be infinitely desirable that
they should be converted 'from their idolatry
and ignorance, and degradation. They arc cer
tainly a portion of the human racqto whom the
gospel is to be preached. ' I !
True, there may be special difljcultics in the
way of their conversion; indeedj we have sup
posed that they arer less accessible than any other
class of human beings. But w&-jiave no dispen
sation from efforts to bring men ic the know-'
