Dr. C McLaxe's Liver Pills, in

PATTERSONS CARD AGAIN.
(r rom Free Will Baptist.)"
In its issue or the 20th Inst, the
Goldaboro Mail has the following card
to the public :
Here followed the card of IL A.
Patterson in regard 'to Mrs. Sallie An
drews. Personally we know nothing of this
lady's piist life; we were introduced to
her during a revival at Fremont, only
kKOTftthul ahe was lutrodAoci to us U
a member of the Society of Friends, a
minister in cood Standinc; also, that
she .hat preached in nuuy of our
churches, that all who have been with
and seen her, not only speak in her
praise, but love her. Tho Holy Spirit
seerus to hover over her congregations,
and to accompany her worls carrying
conviction to the hearts of the wicked.
bringing them to the foot of the Crow.
Wherever she has met with us,
crifS of the penitent, and the glad
shouts of new bon souls have been
beard ; every church she has visited
has been revived and built up. We
also know that under her ministrations
we have felt that Spirit within our
own bosom, stirring up our heart to
redoubled diligence in our Master's
cause, and we bless the humble instru
ment that has so benefitted us, what
ever her past life has beea.
. We regret the action of the uev. Mr.
Patterson, and confess that we cannot
see the necessity for such a step. She
does not claim to be a member of his
church, nor any authority to preach
frocd the same. Then why this card,
this unprovoked attack? She was, be
sats. "expelled from his -church lico
years ago tor lying, leaving and retus
ing to live with her husband, and for
attempted abortion," a A I he says
"those charges were sustned." This
may all be so, but does he contend that
ahe is not a christian now Does it
necessarily follow, that, because she
was a sinner then she is now? Does
the brother contend that site was
guilty of the unpardonable sln,rand
that there was now no sacrifice- for
her? Does he contend that her heart
was so loaded with guilt, that the
Blood of Christ can never cleanse it ?
Since the time, that the brother
claims that she was expelled from his
church, she has not oolyjbecn admit
ted as a meml3er, by our Vethrcn, tho
Friends, but has by them been author
ized to preach the Gospel. Now, we
don't for a moment suppose, that our
sUter church would authorize a man
or a woman, as vile as ho would have
us believe her to be, to preach with
their sanction, or by their authority
any more than we wou'd believe his
own church. Tney (ine
strangers, but his own flock''; and they
could with the same propriety pra-.
nounce him an Impostor. We know
that the brother Is no better that the
great Apostle UU Genttlca and we
sappose that It liiS brethren at Jerusa
lem, had sent before htm to the cUIes
he visited, a fe facts of his past re
cord, he would jave been deemed an
irapostcr, unworthy of the high posi
tion he held n the esteem cf his breth
ren. We rrmrraber on a certain occa
sion, a r woman ' was brought .before,1
not a pewr, ' f Allen foaii liable it 'all
times to err, but before the Immacu
late Savior. Did lie condemn tliat re
pentant soul as the. brother Las dune?
No;; but with the blease! word,
"Neither do I condemn thee: go and
hiu no. more," she went on her way
rejoicing in her new found peace. This
brother has cast the first stone. Is lie
without sin ? Is he more able to judgf
her aright, than the church to thich
she belongs, and by whose authority
she proclaims the gospel? cs the
brother claim that the moral status
of his church is superior to that of the
Friends ? Does he claim that a soul
that is to day m sinner, or even sU-eped
in crime, eannt in the space oitwo
years bvcome, not only a child of God,
but an humble disciple to proclaim his
Gospel ? " Does the brother claim that,
it takes oyer 2 years for the Blood of
Christ to cleanse from all sin ? No,
he knows that lit a twinkling of an eye,
that it can and will make the guiltiest
soul clean. The thief, upon the cross
appealed to our Savior, after he receiv
ed the promise, was ho a thief still?
! No ; for no thief can enter there.
' IFer the Mail.
Tie Asia TuaHy.
Then by what authority does the broth
er still condemn her, after she hss
joined another cnurch, and is pro
claiming the Gospel ? Ciin liepro-
nounce her the same to day, that she
was two years ago ?
We find by reference o our Bible,
that we are not to judge, if we do, the
same judgvment shall be meted out to
us. God forbid that our brother should
have the same judgement meeted out
to him, that he has to this afflicted
Hlrterv - - sj: Sv & ' m vJ ea'O'v r,
gifted with sight, we could overlook
the uncalled for asault ; but a lone
woman, deprived of that greatest of
earthly blessings, sight : we cannot
close our eyes to such an assault, nor
stop our ears to the afflicted, persecu
ted and helpless. To attempt to throw
a stumbling-block in te way of such a
pne! Oh Charity, Angel from above I
I last thou flown from the breast of
man ? O Mercy, hast thou fled from
Earth and returned to the bosom of
thy Creator.
In conclusion, we would say, wecae
not what tho sister has been, or was
two years ago, but for what she is at
present, and we know by the fruit this
tree bears; the immortal souls gathered
through her instrumentality into the
fold of her Redeemer; since she
came among us,', those sightless eyes
moved to tears by the fervor of her
devotion, the radiant beams of light
that flashes o'er her countenance from
an overflowing heart, the love and zeal
she has shown and her godly walk and
conversation, proves that she has been
with Illni. This it all we wish to know,
and therefore with all due respect to
the brother's position, and the evidence
he has produced we say to our sister,
God speed yau in your good work.
Tilden and Bandall Again.
It seems pretty well understood in
the East that since Urn defection of Mr.

as a church are noted for their zeal

. Mr. C. K. Bar lira of Nashville has a
sheep which for several weeks lias been
cutting up some strange antics. It has
some disease or injury of the bead it is
thought, which causes it to run in
circle with all the regularity and earn
estness of a circus horse. Whenever
driven, up it strikes a lope oc run, going
in a circl, always turning to tie right,
the circles decreasing, and if approach
ed by any one or coming against any
ebstacle, it moves off to another place
and keeps up Its performance till ex
hausted. When first examined its right
ear appeared to have been slightly bit
ten at the tip, but besides this nothing
wrong could be found.' , There are no
symptoms ot hydrophobia, at any rate
it has not yet tried to lilc any one.
