For llic Christian Sun. Bro. IIayes : I have arrived home from a meet ing near Elder S. Apple’s. It was the first meet ing in their new Chapel. The Brethren and friends hare put up a quite convenient house of worship ; and if they had it ceiled it would be a comfortable house for winter or summer. All credit is due the brethren and friends for their liberality; for we have yet but a small church at that place. With the blessing of God and perseverance in a straight forward course, accompanied with a Christian spirit towards other denominations on the part of our brethren at Lebanon, the Chris tian cause I doubt not, will finally succeed. Elder 8. Apple is a man devotedly attached to the Christian Church. He, with others, engaged in the work of the ministry when quite you tic. He has spent some 12 or 14 years of the* prime of-bis days ; anti with others has had to encount bore<ll<i>elor?<lumVds *>.!ivcd.a,!d ja by sido with him, the compensation was some- j times far too small to keep above the water. 1 ! am sorry to say, that the want of a reasonable and necessary support, has driven some of the best or ablest ministers from the field in the | N. C. and Va., Christiaq Conference. 1 am aware that some will be ready to say, that I thus speak because I am a bumble member of that calling. And so far from following this calling for worldly ' gain, I am conscious that myself, nor no other one of our ministers, that has been anything like actively engaged, has made near what they might, had they engaged in some other calling. Now I leave it for the honest and the candid to decide, whether the„-faithful minister who studies hard to make himself useful is not entitled to something like the same he could make by some other hon est calling? I do not believe that we prize the gospel as much, as we should. IJoubtless We are greatly in debted to it for social and civil blessings. Our present condition without it as well as our future, would be lamentably bad. For one, if I could bring myself to believe I would be guiltless be fore God I would most gladly give the work over into the hands of others and try to employ my self in some other way in my Lord’s vineyard. Now I am aware, that thore are some of our peo ple who could benrlo do perhaps no more than they i already do ; but then look around and see others, | yea, many of them give but little, and do but little, in any way. And I know some of that very class i who would be more difficult to please in a minister than any other you could name. Notwithstanding j some of them know but little themselves, they are less disposed to exercise charity towards the min ister, than a man who perhaps knows twice or thrice as much, and does vastly more to help the humble minister. Every man nf—gand^sense knows that to make a man useful to the church, he should have his mind well stored with useful knowledge. For any man that would arise be fore an intelligent congregation as a herald of the cross, and pour forth a volley of stuff; using words that be knew not the meaning of, and pro fessing all the time to be speaking revelation, is evidently too ignorant or too wicked to & regard ed as a gospel minister. In the first place those who minister at the al tar should have their souls richly imbued with the divine spirit of their master. Next they should seek after the highest possible degree of useful knowledge—to this end they must have books and time to study them. In proportion as you elevate the moral and intellect ual character of your ministry, you will raise the moral and religous enjoyment of the Church. One of the great things for which we live is to be happy? arsd to secure this desirable tiling we should seek for vital godliness, and likewise pro mote the best possible means to cultivate the mind. When our minds are well cultivated, and our j hearts well sanctified, we are then prepared to rise j to the highest earthly enjoyment. Would to God that I could induce men to seek happiness by j seeking to be made better. If we could persuade all to live and labor for the promotion of Godli ness in their own soul, and.also foraf-growth of the same in the souls of their brethren, and all their fellow beings, .we should have a heaven, to go to heaven in. D. Shallowford, August 20th, 1851. For tlie Christian Sun. j I desire to reply to the Queries of Bro. Standi fer, in a short catechetical form, for the benefit of those who will read short questions; but, decline reading long answers. Query 1st. “ Is gospel truth a fair represen tation of Gospel facts ?” —Answer—This very singular question I answer^ in the affirmative. . Query 2d. "Does truth contradict itself ?” Answer—Certainly not. - — ^rrerjr3d.” " Does God' will The "salvation of all or only a part ?” 1 Answer—All. And hence wills and eonimands “ all men to repent.” Query. 4th. “ If he wills the salvation of all, is his wisdom infinite to plan out a way for the Re demption of all ?” Answer—Certainly, and this he has done, and we proclaim to all “ lie that believeth and is bap tized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Do you believe it"? Query 5th. “ Is»thpn his power almighty to put this plan in Execution ?” Answer—Certainly, and he will do it. and those who submit to the gospel will be saved to the ex tent of the whole human family, but to those who do not, he will say, “ Depart into everlasting fire.” Do you believe it ? Query 6th. “ Does God will anything but what is just and right?” Answer—Certainly not. Query 7th. “ Does not the love, service and adoration of the whole human family belong to God ?” Answer—Certainly. And he wills it to be given him, but it is not. Query 8th. “ Will justice ever be satisfied, un til God gets his own just right?” Answer—If it is God you mean by Justice: God will be satisfied to drive the finally impeni tent from his presence, and can very well dis pense with the ndoration of lost men and Devils. Query Oth. “ Has jwta God of Infinite wisdom and power, all the means in his own hands to ac complish his will and purpose ? Answer—He has, and a part of his will and purpose is that those who reject the government of his son shall be lost and ho will accomplish his purpose ; for it would have been better for a certain man that he had never been born. Do you believe it ? Closing remarks.—God wills and commands a great many'things which has never taken place ; among which are, that we should now be more holy and, more happy here; that all men should repent and believe the Gospel, cease from sin and serve him. Whether God has the wis dom and means to bring this obedience and holi ness about or not, does not so much concern us, as the fact that it is not bhougfit about, and men live in sin and suffer. Unless Cod changes, it may be so in the future. N. SUMMERBELL. CHRISTIAN SUN. Wednesday,"^IpleiiilJer i«, TMi. Our receipts for the Sun for-the last four weeks have been very light. In a .short time, we shall have a.heavy bill to pay for paper. Will ottr friends help us in this our ime of need 1 A word to the wise and just is sufficient. jjTffWe have appointed a number of persons as special Agents for the Sun, whose names appear in this lumber. There are none of them we trust, but will be willing to act as such. To compensate them for their trouble, we agree that hey may retain to their own use, every sixth dollar re vived by them for all new subscriptions (according to >ur terms on the first page;) and twenty-five cents on tvery subscription collected from old subscribers for voi une 8, where $1:25 cents is due. All monies collected by them for volume 7, and other rolumes prior to that, we can offer no premium as the noney is due to others; but we will still receive and rreilit for i( as heretofore. The present, the past and the future. We have •eeeived a copy of the above, being a discourse delivered oy.Eld. J. G. Lawshe, Pastor of the Christian Church, Bristol, R. I., at the opening of the New. Jersey Chris ian Conference at Johnsonburg, May 17th 1851. We consider it an able production, and -admirably suited to the times; and will well repay the reader for bis time spent in its perusal. “ Published by the General Book Concent,” Cl North .bird street Philadelphia.

It is tn apology for the order of_the Sons of Temperance; and is one of the best discourses that we have read upon the subject. A meeting of some 4 days was held at Pleasant Spring Church about eight miles South of Raleigh which com menced on the 3rd. Sunday , of ult. Two persons pro fessed to be converted; and the members of the church were considerably revived. "Preachers, in attendance, Elders J. A. Turner J. J. Hobby and A, Franks. The writer was there also on Sunday. We spent six days with the brethren at Holy Neck at their late protracted meeting, in company with five other Ministers. The congregations were very large and the interest good. There were 12 or 15 conversions among the whites and 7 or 8 among the colored when we left. The meeting was to be continued another day. w. b. w. S. Crane’s Patent compound mixture, or Soap. The sole right to use his article in this state has been pur chased of the Patentee by J. J. Ryals of this city. From a trial of the mixture, which came under our notice, we feel confident, it will well answer the purpose for which it has been prepared. We have received several communications, which came to hand too late to appear in this number; among them there is an obituary notice of the death of two of Bro. Wm. R. Stowe’s children, Sarah Yirgina and Wm. Mills, the former died on the 9,th of Aug., and the latter on the 23th of same month. SOME OF THE FRUITS OF ABOLITIONISM. We would call the special attention of the members of the New Yurie Central Christian Conference, and all others who have voted for Resolutions declaring the Fu gitive slave law unconstitutional; and that “ American Slavery combines the sum total of all viltanies,” to the horrid affair described in the following article; and would ask them whether or not they are doing God-ser vice by encouraging such men as Bacon either directly or indirectly, to come among slaveholders, and to entice away the slave who is well clothed and fed from the ser vice of his owner, to seek refuge in some free State among men perhaps who have no real sympathy for him. We think it is high time at least for anti-slavery men to pansa and consider. What are they doing by publishing to the world such exciting and mflaflmiory resolutions ; are all their sympathies enlisted on the side of the slave; arid all their hatred and-, revenge-against-the master4 We say again let them stop, and consider upon the hor rid evils they ate likely to bring not only upon slave holders, but upon the slaves themselves: THE GRAYSON AFFAIR. , The Salem Press learns from a correspondent at Jef ferson Ashe County the following additional particulars in relation to the recent horrible murder committed by a pared of runaway negroes in Grayson County Va. “ When the negroes were closely pressed and refused to surrender themselves, they- were fired upon,’ but with out any other effect than to enrage them. One fellow, armed with a long, heavy scythe blade, rushed on Mr. Samuel Bartlett, (brother to the Sheriff of Ashe) and at ope blow split his head open, scattering the brain in every direction:—he died almost immediately. Alfred Bartlett, a brother of the deceased, had one hand nearly cut off. Cyrus Wilcox, late of Jefferson, received a stab in the hack of the neck,—but little hope of his recovery. John Ctemmons received a wound on the top of his head, laying the scull bare for four inches. Report says he is dead. The negroes all effected their escape, after two or three of them had been knocked down. Two of them it is said, have been captured and lodged in jail. Thus may be seen the beauties of abolitionism ’—Baken or Bacon, whose name noticed in the Press, has labored for years in Grayson. The negroes belong to Mr. Reeves and Mr. Cox, were just starting for Ohio.'’ The Wytheville (Va,) Republican states that the ne groes have been taken and that they 13T expressly charge an Ohio Preacher by the name of Bacon as their adviser and instructor The Salem Press adds: “ Is not this pretty business for Ministers of the Gospel to be engaged ini Reader, pause ami reflect! All you who have given your adhesion to these Ohio villians, (if any !) reflect for one moment, calmly and dispassion ately, and you will certainly pronounce judgment against these men. We have held up these villains, time after time, to pub lic execration, because we considered it to be our duty so to do; and their guilt of the crimes with which we have charged them, is becoming every day more and more apparent-" ’ , SIMPLICITY OF THE SCRIPTURES. The Holy Scriptures contain the revealed will of God to man. From its sacred pages we learn that there is one true and living God ; the maker and pprseverer of all things, visible and invisible ; and we learn it no where else. It is true that" the heavens declare his glo ry and the firmament showeth forth his handy work,” and ‘ the visible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and godhead.” Yet they : only bear witness to the great fact declared in the Scrip- j tnres. Tnesun for instance, which is an immense body of light and heat, presents to the mind ideas awfully | sublime ; but the untutored heathen contemplates not the ! creator, but the object which he sees. Being conscious of; his own frailty, he is naturally led to adore some being which he conceives to be superior to himself; and it matters not how insignificant that being may be. if he can but imagine that it possesses supernatural powers or qualities. This is explained by the fact, that the knowledge of the true God has been lost* to the heath en ; they entertaiuina onlv »>■»» a •• j , them from generation to generation since the time o! the confusion of languages. In connection with this great and important truth, we i have clearly revealed unto us the history of man’s crca- j tion, fall and redemption ; the duty he owes to his,maker his fellow.-being, and himself. He cannot be at a loss with the'Bible fn his hand to understand the design of his being, unless he close the eyes of his understanding to its teachings. . We know that the Scriptures are represented by some j as dark and mysterious; so much so, that without a spe- ■ cial illumination no saving truth can be apprehended Now we. conceive this to be a fatal mistake. For, .then, the Scriptures instead of being a revelation to man, would be a sealed book; and without another revelation it would, in fact be to him no revelation at all. The leading doctrines of that holy book are adapted toman in his present condition ; and although he can only behold them at first as “ trees walking,” yet if he will search the scriptures diligently they will shine brighter and brighter, i and the reasonableness of their requirements become more . and more apparent. It is not be expected that the child when he first opens his primer can even recite his alpha bet ; it is a dark and mysterious book to him, but does it necessarily follow that it is so to others 1 or that he shall no! ! be able to understand it himself after he lias diligently ! studied it 1 Nay. So it is with the great fundamental j principles of the Bible. They may appear to be dark at j first, but after proper ^investigation they will become j plain and easy of comprehension. And we do most sincerely believe that a great deal of j the seeming mystery of the Bible, lias been thrown around it by men’s undertaking to explain things not re* j vealed by the Almighty—things in fact not essential to . t5ut salvation. Hence a '■ multitude of words have i darkened" counsel,” and even those doctrines which are j plain and easy to be understood have been mystified by j clouds of learned nonsense which have been thrown j around them. Creeds have been made the standard of j truth instead of the Bible : and those who adhere to them j are often heard to declaim against all who differ with j them in opinion, and declare that there is no salvation | for them. Such are they who adhere to the doctrine of I the Trinity as taught in the creeds. A man-may believe j all that is written in the Bible reppectiqglhe Father, Son ; and Holy Ghost, hut if he does not express it as it i$ ex- j pressed in the creed he is considered a hcretiek, and can not be saved unless he repent. He may declare with Paul that he believes there is one God and one mediator between Gotland man or “unto us there is one God the Father of whom are all things, and we in him. and one Lord Jesus Christ by whom all things and we by him,” or with Peter that “ thou art the Christ the Son of: the living God,” and that the Comforter or Spirit has | come; yet unless be calls it trinity, or that “three are one,” j and “one are three” he is denounced as a dangerous man and no more in <he way to heaven than Mohomcdans or Jews. But we are not going to be driven from the stand that we have takch, i. e. to call Bible "things by Bible names, and to take the Bible and the Bible alone for the standard of our faith. Its truth will stand when the senseless jargon of creed makers shall be hushed into eternal silence; when the chaff, the'hay, and the stubble, shall be burnt up and destroyed forever. What have we to fear, so long as we build our hopes upon this sure foundation; the simple hut everlasting truths of the blessed gospel of Christ t A late number of the Methodist Protestant contains the following sneering remarks: “The Editor of the Protestant refers to tv sect in Vir ginia calling themselvesChristians.’ Did he intend by this expression to convey the idea, that the Qhristiahs are confined alone to Virginia? If so, we are pleased to inform him such is not the fact. There are Chris tians in every State of our Union, in Canada, New Brunswick and in Great Britain.” Christian Sun. “We are much obliged to the “Sun” for the light thrown upon this subject. And we cannot resist,,the in clination to let our readers have-the benefit of it. There doubt it after this '?” Methodist Protestant. We did not intend to add another word to what has been said in reference to this unpleasant, affair, and, should not now do so; but for the unfair ami unrhris ! imn manner in which we have been treated by the Pro j testant. We cannot consent to let his conduct go unex posed. A few plain facts shall be stated. In the Protestant for June 7th last, the Editor admitted in his columns an article~Trom the pen of the President of the Virginia District, in which the Christians were very modestly styled “ Socinians ” or “Bandits” and charged with making “ desperate efforts ” to draw off their members. We immediately noticed through the Sun the new names applied to us; and feeling indignant and disgusted with the course- pursued by the Protestant, we expressed our indignation in plain, candid, and un varnished terms. Nothing was said in the Protestant in reply to our strictures until the 19th of July, when the Editor of the Protestant designed to inform his readers that the “ Socinians ” or “ Bandits ” which the President! had previously referred to in his journal, was “ a sect in | Virginia calling themselves Christians,'’ and that the j Word “ Bandits ” should have been printed “ Barrettites,” ! the word Barrettites having been mistaken by the printer J for Bandits. He furthermore said that for this typo graphical error, the Sun had “ opened as unchristian a strain of abuse upon Rev. Mr. Langhorne as we remem ber to have seen.” This he would have-noticed sooner, j but “ could not got his consent to do otherwise than treat i it with silence.” However a communication came from ! the President calling attention to our remarks, which the Protestant refused to publish, givitig as one reason | that Mr. Langhorne gave “ too much importance to those who assailed him.” Now, in the remarks of the Editor of the Protestant, j there are two statements made which arc entirely untrue. First, we deny having “opened an unchristian strain of i abuse” on Mr. Langhorne; and no fair and impartial ■ reader would have so construed our remarks. And in j the second place we did not “ assail " Mr. Langhorne, and ! the Editor knew we did not. He assailed us and our brethren, and we only spoke in defence of ourselves. .Again, in our last article, we noticed the impression which the Editor tried to make upon the minds of his reader?, that the Christians were confined to the State of Virginia alone, and informed him that such was not the fact; he endeavoreji sneeringly in the remarks copied above, to misconstrue our meaning and deceive the pub lic. The Edito* knew' Very well that in choosing to call ourselves by the simple, plain scriptural name Chris tian, we do not say that we are the only Christians in the world. Far from it. We have ever held that there are Christians among all the denominations. They choose to be called, by some other name in addition to that of Christian. For this we have never unchristian ized them; but have ever extended the hand of fellow ship and brotherly love to all the disciples of our Mas ter, no matter in what place they are found, or by what name they are called. We contend that it was uncour- j tcous and unchristian thus to attempt to misconstrue our. remarks. Sneering at us in this way comes with verv; doubles in numbers the Methodist Protestant denomina tion. Again, we should like to ask the Editor of the Protest ant, if his course in refusing to make the necessary ex planation to injured breihren in relation to the term Bandits, until forced to it was christian-like 1 He says he could not get his consent to do otherwise-than treat our remarks,with “ silence ” until Mr. Langhorne wrote him on the subject. The Editor is really very impor tant in his own estimation. We confess our limited at tainments and humble position in society, but at the same time would say farther, that we do not aspire to that point to, which the Editor has already" attained. Phrenologically speaking, we should judge the Editor of the Protestant has a very large developement of the or gan of self-esteem, and a ve'ty great deficiency in anoth er organ located not very far from that of firmness. And now we should be pleased to know if the word “ Bandits ’’ was not the original,word in the President’s journal 1 and if it was not erased and “ Barrettites ” in terlined above it in another communication 1 And was not this the cause of the Printers mistake 1 Did not the Printer use the original word which had been erased, and leave out the one which had been interlined 1 Per haps the Protestant’s Editor, or his excellent friend “ Langhorne ” could throw some light on this subject. We repeat again, that we object to the term “ Soeini ans ” as much as that of “ Bandits.” We will not wear either name, nor ^submit quietly to the reproach which they carry with them.. Towards our Methodist Protestant brethren, we enter tain only the kindest feelings of Christian regard. We will never say, or do anything wilfully and intentionally to wound, or in any way injure their feelings, or retard their progress indoing good. We shall never nickname them—sneer at them—or treat them with dontempt in any way whatever. We are glad to know that as a de nomination, they are a pious and godly people; and so far as we have been able to-learn, they have universally condemned the course pursued by the Editor of the Pro testant and his friend Langhorne towards us. One word in conclusion, if the Protestant shall con descend again to notice one so humble and unpretending as us j we demand in justice that he treat ns as we have him, and give our remarks in this and a former number a full insertion in the Protestant.
