SLAVERY
On •this subject, some of.. the New School
South are extremists—erratic in their , no
tions; arid as far from the teachings of
Christ and his apostles as ',are the wild abo
litionists. ,
Da. Boe&—The Old School :meet adept, the
v,iews.ef this body• on the suhjettt eleven,
Tilers:Vire but three theoriei on the subjeat . of
slavery, namely : ,
..,1. The B,inAheory. • •
t' ti.Tite'Toleration Theory
'The'Ordained Theory. ''
The'first is the theory of the abolitionists, and
maintains that slavery is contrary to the eternal
principles.of,right, and wrong, as laid down in
the Bible. . The answer is, that there is no prin
ciple of right, and wrong apart froin the will of
God:
The eecondLtheory is, that slovenly, not a sin
in itself, butalways a condition.loY inabtral evil,
not approved,,but,only tolerated.of.,Ood,•sad , that
all under it shouldplieve t hemselves as soon as
possible. The•Dr, said.he would defy any man to
prove from the' Bible that Go'd' A onlSv tolerates
n
slove.' ' • ,
Y; , Thelhird view is, that slavery is ordained of
gr o d otp a good in his providence, lo Abp . master;
to the slave, , , and to the c.,mmunity so long as ho
oi k ninmes it According 'to this theory, the Inas
tet not . an outcast nor a subject 'of' pit'y; but
the representative of' God; in a great' , Work' of
benevolence. The' toleration theory:is:the- Old
School view, and he did not nowlvish tojoin that
body., [N. Y.. Obs.]- ,
He went.on to define the position of the plave
holder and his right, and expressed tite opinion .
that 'Where conscience was opposed to conscience,
as' was' the caee between the North and the Sotith;
there Was no. resort but the sword! .The South
willlno longer bear that sin theory,,andwill : but
a fei days longer submit to the !Ogaden theory.

power, and made a impression upon the
Cenivistion. Boyd an'ionifoed',. with great!

worth, and within the pecuniary reach of
all. Urged by the necessity of such a work,
for the Church's benefit, and encouraged by
promises of co-operation on the part of many
restors and elders, we launched into the en
terprise, without the guarantee of a dollar
to remunerate our labors, or to' reimburse
our losses. Loss we anticipated, much be
yond what has occurred. Profit wethought
not of. We considered that a minister of
Christ, as an editor, had no more.right to be
enriched by his labors, than had the same
minister as a pastor.
During the first three years of our labor,
in. Philadelphia, we had no thought of
being even sustained by it; but in

we did so with the purpose and in thehope
that the fruit of our toils should

liberal subscription, we fixed the,size of the
sheet, the 'quality of the paper, the style of
execution, the amount of paid correspond
ence and editorial aid, and the subscription
Thus far our estimate has, substantially,
held good. 'Shall . it , continue so 1 1 If the

price, or otherwise to transfer our interest to
other hands.
To diminish the paper in real value, we
cannot, consent. Presbyterians shouldhave
the hest.' The Lord's children are not to be
fed on, husks. Our families must not grow
up ignorant of what the weekly, Christian
aheet should teach them. Every house
shOuld have a liver:, and that paper should
be,comprehensive in its contents, and edi
firing in charaptei; so that its steady
readers, while the true spirit of the Chris
