Our Friend Sleepeth.
A stranger came into our laud
But two short years ago ;
He found a home, but God's command
Was, "Leave it, thou must go."
Warm-hearted, generous, kind and true,
He gained lam many friends;
A pleasant life he had in view,
How soon the prospects ends I
The social group he often joined,
Their youthful joys to share ;
While they, with cheerful heart and mind,
Would bid him welcome there.
The songs °Upraise he oft did lead,
Within the house of prayer:;
He Wit With:is, our chosen head,
We bade him weloome there
We miss him in our 'youthful band,
His ; voice;we'li hear no more:;
He dwells within that happy land,
On Canatues peaceful shore.
•
We saw hini.on !I. dying toOd--,-
Hew peaceful how resigned !
On Jana' breast he leaned his head,
No fears disturbed his mind.
He Isktis weephig wife alone—
Ms helpless children, too;
Without a struggle, of a groan,
He bade the world adieu.
IVe gazed, with sympathizing tear,
'Upon his lifeless clay;
Bow changed the visage once so dear!
Our . bleeding hearts wonld'say.
Farwell, we 'II see thy face no more,
Thy work• ou earth m done;
The battle 'e fought, the combat's o'er,
The ticery thou haat won.
May we gigolo our leader meet,
Oweanasn's happy Wore;
And sit around our Saviour's feet,
And ling - forever more.
There pains,lnd suirrinp never come,
But ilkeru:tike slide shall dwell

The lives of those engaged have been spared;
'Christian harmony and love have prevailed in

may commend us to the syMpathy Of , their peo

declares "Its object shall belto'promote the cause
of evangelical teligion by- the circulation of
Tracts, by 'conversation and.prayee! This oh;
ject having a special view to`the salvation of tke
soul, must ever be Considered the most important
that can engage the 'attention of Christians. It
is the great subject treated of in 'the Gospel,
itself a message from Ilearen of salvation to a
lost and -ruined race through the sufferings and
death of the Son of God.
The Bible is neer - and free to ; the Sancta
ary has room and to spare; yet how oft the Bible
lies unopened I The Sabbath bell is unheeded,
and the masses around Tut are being hurried along
the stream, of tune to 04) shoreleso ocean of
eternity,. The Bible teaches' that our fallen na-
ture opposeethe seeking after the truth as there
in taught, and commands the followers of .Christ,
after-the Master's example, to seek the Wander
ing and tell them . that Jesus Christ came into the
world to save sinners, to use every , evangelical
means to rouse them to consider their immortal
nature, and- the value of the- soul, so priceless
that the Redeemer has said, " What shall a man
give in exchange for his soul. r.
Obeying this contmand, this &tastyputs forth
its humble instrumentality, and disseminates es
sential Bible truth, accompanied by personal ef
fort, conversation and prayer. The visitor inter
ests herself-in the families of the poor and care
less ; endeavors to lead them to hear the preached
Gospel; to read the Bible; and makes a special
effort to have the children attend Public and Sab

their *ants, when: destitute; relieved through the,
Ladies' Relief Association ; the Spiritual Teacher

this. Chadian community. Again, it • is • largely
in debt,. and we ask every one,who reads this ite- •
port'if it .is not a duty •and privilege to -sustain
it, when' the, object is the salvation of the soul;
and the individual gratuitoue effort , so great.
Why is it the small sum of-two hundred dollars
cannot be raised in this, city for this Society ?
" Shall those whom God has blessed with world
ly goods withhold their hands from giving:Still
thereby virtually withhold the light 'of truth ,
from those who• are ignorant and out of the way ?
.Shell Christians, who' by their profession

bor, stand still and see their fellow heings going
down= o eternal ruin, whom . by the giving of a
paltry sum they tnicht haVe saved? God forbid ;
and may:he constrain them by his Spirit to come
to the help of this Society."
Tract distributing has always been considered
en humble service ; it is the going out into the
byways 'and lanes of the city, ; the Iris' iting of the
garrets and cellars of the poor and thoughtless,
and pointing them to. the 4 , Lamb of God which

'That Complete Victory.
TALLAHASSEE MISSION,
Creek Nation ' March. 4, 1858.
The report of the Creek Presbytery, in
reference to the-discussion on baptism, be
tween the Rev. H. F. Buckner and myself,
seems to• trouble him exceedingly. I find
an article from ,his pen in two old papers,
(Tennessee Baptist, Sept. 26, and Missis
sippi Baptist, August 200 which I am
glad to mei:because it is a faithful exponent
of the man, and of his labors among the
Indians. He profane much astonishment
that we did not sooner declare our victory.
True, we might have done so ; but we
did not consider a " complete victory" over
Mr. Buckner, of se much moment, as to de
mand its ,proclamation to the world. It was
enough that, the great object of the debate
was accomplished, Mr. B's false doctrines
were exposed and refuted, our enemies
being judges. All, I believe, who attended
that debate, with the exception. of a part of
the Baptists,' agree with the Committee in
awarding me a " complete victory."
It is amusing to see how Mr. B. tries to
set aside the testimony of this Committee.
One was not there, another acts sometimes
as my interpreter, and the other, forsooth,
has taught, school in an Indian village.
Just about' as , conclusive as many of the
'gentleman's arguments in the debate. Al
though Rev. J.. R. Ramsey was not present
at, the debate, yet having the testimony of
manrcredible witnesses r ho were present,
he was competent to declare the fact. The
other two, although one was so intelligent as
to he able to interpret, and the other so
learned'aa to teach school successfully, yet
as men of truth and Piety and as worthy and,
well qualified Christian ministers, they were.
surely competent witnesses; both being
present during the whole of the discussion.
Mr: Buckner's ridicule of the Rev. Wm.
H. Templeton, for having been a school
teacher, is in perfect keeping with the ,man.
He is welcome to all the advantages of his
abuse of this good and laborious missionary
brother. It will do good in showing the
Christian public the character of my , oppo
nent, and of his labors among the Creeks.
The published testimony of . Rev f H. A.
Wentz, declaring the victory in the debate,
on our side, is also passed by, I suppose, as,
invalid, by the gentleman, because he, too,
was a school-teacher,
What Mr. B. means by ealling . Mr. Tem
pleton, " Mr. Ws serving-ican in the de
bate," I am at a loss to determine, unless
he wished to give the impression that he
rendered-me great _assistance in the debate,
which would be positively not correct. That'
"complete'' victory," I contend, I gained
singly and alone.
• ot t one .occasion,:however, when„.l_ had
proiied that the Apostle Paul was baptized
'standing up, and.henee by affnaion, and Mr.
B. had resorted to his usual course of twist
ing and turning to evade the force of the'
argunient, Mr. Templeton referred to his
'perVersien_ of the G,reekverb, expressing
that action—the. only. Seririce..rendered me
by any one during the debate.
Mr. B would do well to enumerate, hie
own serving.men in the 'debate-the Rev.
Mr. Land, a white man, Rev. D. N. M'ln
tosh, Rev. Jas. Perryman, and Rev. Jacob
Hawkins, all ordained Baptist preachers,
and Mr. Goliah llerrod, his " armor
bearer," who was always on hand to do his
bidding.
Again, Mr. B. charges. us with great ig 7
norance ; he says : '" So ignorant are they,
that one of them told Rev. D. N. M'lntosit
that he did not know Whether baptize was a
noun or an adjective; 'but he believed it
was an adjective." Mr. M'lntosh informed
me that . Rev. D. W. Eakins is here meant ;
but added, "I do not know why he said so;:
I haie no doubt but he knew better."
Bro. Eakins May have made the remark in
jest; to 'show his -disapprobation of their
practice of perpetually harping about dip:
ping., He is a graduate of a' college of high
standing:in the States, and all who know
him will have no doubt bat he knew better.
Again, he says : " They wished to have
the discussion interpreted„,that they might
hide their ignorance in a fog." The utter
fallazy and pidPable 'absurdity of this re
mark, renders comment unnecessary. He
only lugs it in to cover his own retreat ; and;
if possible, to escape the odium which 'so
justly rests , upon for maintaining the
absurd .and unscriptmal position, that, the
debate should,lot be interpreted.
The; Indians were , greatly astonished
mitten this decision„ and many
of them Madethe remark, ”It must be, he
is afraid to have us know the whole truth ;"
" He wishes to • keel) go in the 'dark," &o.
Like the Romieh,priests whopreach to the
people in an unknown tongue, so Jae utterly
refused to have the discussion interpreted,
the usual mode. of addressing .the' people.
Bat he says, . ' every one who attended the
debate could understand English, and there
was DO need of an interpreter. A miserable
subterfuge this, truly 1. It.does not folio*
'that there was no need ,of au interpreter,
because the fesi who attended the debate
understood English. For ifieke before the
dismal:4On ioek place, it was
• known to the
people that Mr. Buckner's gag law of no in
terpreter, 'was tube enforced, And 'hence the
multitudes of Indians, who wanted to hear,
were choked off—of course they would not at
tend. Poor maul he first determines that the
iliscussuin shall not be interpreted- 7 that the
Indians shall not hear if they come; then,
because they did not come, he protilairns in
terpretation unnecessary.
But for Mr. Ws gag of no interpretation,
instead of a malt congregation' of from fifty
to one hundredi as it was, there would
doubtless have been thousands present.
They wanted to bear-; but he was afraid
that the false and , unseriptural dogmas,
which he and his ignorant co•laborera-Jrad
taught them, would be exposed and refuted.
But his cunning will not, avail him—the
spell is broken. Truth is mighty,. and will
again "Another such
DR.
victory, and Pedobaptism would be twice
dead in this nation." But who meaneth
not so, neither doth his heart think so."
He knows better. If he had applied the re
mark to his own Church, there would have
been some truth in it. The uniform testi
mony of Methodists and Presbyterians is,
that the discussion has done them much
good. Before it, they were assaulted and
persecuted on all occasions; but since, they
have peace, and are respected. The haugh
ty tone Of exclusiveneas of the Baptists, has
been wanderfillj , lowered; and I am in
formed, by good authority, that several
prominent Baptists have gone over to the
Methodists. The Presbyterian churches are
in a flourishing condition, and since the de
bate, have been increased in numbers in an
unusual degree. My own church, during
the six months immediately succeeding the
debate, was increased by fifteen members—
fourteen on examination, and one by certifi
cate.
The case of one of those received on
examination illustrates the result of• the dis
suasion on the piople. She is an interest
ingand intelligent young Creek woman, who,
before the debate, was entirely in favor: of
the Baptists. She said, " I am , going to
join whichever side beats, hut I hope. Mr*
Buckner will beat Mr. Loughridge." she
attended the debate, was convinced that
truth ::was with the Presbyterians, and ac
cordingly joined them. 1 could, giye much
additional testimony, of the opinions volun
tarily expressed by those who were present
at the dehate, corroborating what has already
been given,' but, it is unnecessary.
Mr. B. may succeed in blinding the Minds
of some in the States, by ,his continual
scribbling and unfounded assertions, but cer
tain it is that he can never change the re
sults of, that debate, among this people. All,
I believe, to a man, who heard the discus
sion, with the exception of only a part of
the Baptists, agree with the committee in as
cribing to us A. COMPLETE VICTORY.

The Rev: William S. Morrison was the son
of the Rev. Robert and Mrs: &rah Morri

and was born Ap ril 18th 1821 in the
county of Aridagh, Ireland. He became
decidedly pious, and Made a public profee
'sion ,seventeenth year: gradu
ated at Glasgow on the 29th of April, 1846;
studied Theology at Edinburgh during the
years 1846 and 1847, and was licensed to
preach by the Presbytery of Newry, July
6th, 1848. He arrived in America on the
27th day of May, 1849, and spent some time
as a missionary in Schuylkill County, Pa.
In February, 1850; he was invited by 'the
congregations of New Berlin, Mifilinburg,-
and II artleton, to serve them as a stated sup
ply, which he continued* to do till April,
1853, when he received and accepted unan
imous
,Pastriral .from the congregations
of LittleAughWick, and Upper ,Tuscarora.
In May, 1850, he was married to Miss Se
villa Boger, of New Berlin. . '_On the 16th
of November, 1852, he was ordained by the .
Presbytery of Northumberland. In the - Fall
of 1855 he contracted "
~a severe cold, which
terminated in bronchitis, and •finally in pul
monary Consumption. the Autumn of
1856 he Visited Irelend: It was hoped that
a voyage at sea, and the atmosphere of his
native island might invigorate his feeble ,
health; but that hope was vain. In the
Spring 0f,1857, he, bade a hot farewell to
his aged parents, and, many friends, and re
turned. to the people of his eharge, but be 7
lug unable to preach, hri'obtained a . diaaolu-
Von of the pastoral relation, and returned to
New Berlin, where he spent the ensuing
Winter with his relations. His health con
tinued' to decline till the 18th of ,March,
when' he fell asleep in Jesus. 'During his
protracted sickness, , he manifested 'a largii
measure of the Spirit ofChrist. He de
clared that he felt it good for him to be af
flicted; that his teith in Christ sustained him;
`that he had no worldly ; anxieties; was, con
tent with his condition; had no uneasiness
about the result of his sickness; arid that
he found great pleasnre in prayer, and in
relying on the promises of God and in the
prospect of being in the immediate presence
of his Saviour. His reason remained unim
paired to the last. He- remarked that for,
him, death' had no sting. On the 1 8th, , he,
with a feeble voice, whispered, "Lord Jesus
into thy hands I'conimend my spirit," and
then in a little time fell asleep.

le the Pr esbyterian, of July 19,1851. It
was re-pitblished in the Banner and Advo
cate, of May 24, 1856.. It is now published
again, at t e requestwo of e near re a
fives of Dr. Gideon Leeds the subject of the
narrative, and whoselull name they wish to
appear ; as they think, by that means, more
good may result. Dr. Leeds was a resident,
for many years,. of Hope, Warren County,
New Jersey: , The excellent minister frorp
whom I received the history that follows,
and at *hose request I wrote it out was the
Rev. tiehiel Talmage, brothers to the Piesi.
dent of Ogleihorpe University, Ga. He
has since entered into rest. Dr. Leeds was
a native of Connecticut.- His .death took
place at Mark - shore', N. J., in the year
1836 or '8 T. - -
, "ifit is 'Well to , record instances where
the faith of 'the Gospel, looking to the in
finite sacrifice on,Calvary, 44 Cheered and
sustained the soul in its last conflict, and
borna up in triumph, it is well,- also,' to
put on record those other instencies,' 'where
specious and, plausible error, after 'amusing
its subject for perhaps large part of a life
time at length robs its victim of comfort
and hope, and gives him, over at 'the dying
hour to keen• regret and remorse of Con
science. Instanoes of the latter Class are,
unhappily, not rare ; add ihen Well authen
ticated and remarkable in their details, and
wiihal their subjects widely, and on many
accounts, favorably known, the public, Rit
would seem, have a 'clear right to be put in
possession of them. They - warn and in-
"Not many years since, there lived in
one of the river .counties_ . of New Jersey, a
physician, whose initials, G. L., will, doubt
less indicate himto many of your readers.
Fond qf society, jovial and pleasing in man
ners, kind. and sympathizing in his nature,
he won the, favorable'. regard of a large cir
cle, to whose confidence and intimacy -he
was admitted in the discharge of the da
tes of his calling. Inclined ''to argumenta
tion, none of the more intelligent part of
his acquaintances were left in doubt as to his
religious belief. He •boldly declared hie as
sent to the pleasing doctrine of the ultimate
salvation of all, Whether they have true faith
in Christ or not. For this,opinion he would
contend by , the hour earnestly , and with all
the' ingenuity and logic of which the, subject
;truth
Quilt. Many living can 'attest the
Arsith;O: 04 statement. Fhe writer of this
will never forget along - cenference .with
L , at a casual meeting on the road, in
which, as usual, he brought forward his
ever-ready theme. The excellent minister
who visited him when near his end, who
gave me the history of that solemn scene,
and at whose request I now offer it to the
publivon a certain occasion was detained in
argument with the Doctor till after mid
night. His influence may still tell on some
of the living. If the eye of any should
meet this communication, it is commended
to Weir serious attention.
" Having lived rattier past the middle of
Life in the active discharge of a laborious
calling, Dr. L. became seriously ill of a
disease, that in the end proved fatal. During
its slow progress, ,he leisure for the em
ployment of his mind, active and clear to
the last upon the theme on which it had so
often expiated. , But the circumstances were
now altered. In health it is easy to talk at
readmit, and even to persuade one's self, in
the.absence of reason, of what is ardently
desired. Stich convictions will not' stand
sober inquisition, when about to launch into
the dread future. So it proved here. My
informant, the Rev. J. T., hearing of the
serious illness of - his friend and former medi.
ical adviser, did not fail to visit him. I
am' glad to -See you,' said Dr. L. You
must spend the night with me. I want. a
long 'talk with you. Tire have often talked
together. lam soon to die. I feel-it. „I
want to say to , you- some things before I die.
The Bible is true. I believe it, every word.
My pious mother taught me•the right way ;
mould that r had heeded her . counsel
have abused my reason.. I have eported
with sacred things. I have no, faith in
Universalism; none at all. It is not in the
, Bible.. It is a delusion.'." Much More he
. •
said to the same effect. ilia mind was
active and sane. But,' said my informant,
never did I witness greater solemnity and
earnestness. At his request, prayed with
him. He wept like a child. Commending
him to.the mercy of God, Mr: T. left him.
The next day lie called on him again; on
his,return home, offered prayer, then parted
from him, to see Min no more till the geed
day. W. I'. V.'

For; the Ptvebytetist . Beene; and Advocate
Beisort of Doniphan County Bible Society,
Kansas Territory.
There is something like an instructive
`pensive' experienced Sby. all Christians, -as
they hear, from time to time, of the. onward
course of the 'Cause , of God, in any or in All
lands,' s and' from any department of this
heaven-tending work. ,
With this delightful s truth ,before me, I
take pleasure in attempting a ,diacharge of
an accepted duty imposed on; me by the
Doniphan enmity , Bible Society, to send, for
publication, a brief report of the doings , of
this. Society for the year 1857. .Let it be
borne in mind ;that this is a report of a Bible
Society in, Kansas, and not in a country
well improved for more than - one generation.
It appears ;that this Society has raised in ,
money, during the year, $470.90, and dis
tributed three:; hundred And twenty-one .
Bibles and Testaments, and donated forty
nine. And it, would lave, distributed more,
had Bibles been on *hand.' - The - aged and
venerable Mr. Irvin, father of Rev. S. M.
Irvin, was a faithful and efficient agent in
spreading Abroad the heavenly pages of the
book of life. Mr. Irwin is, perhapsOhe
oldest perioa in Kansas, being over , aiventy
years of age. If any thing human 'can
show forth the beauty of holiness, or the
strength of faith, it is to see Kush. a one,
with one foot in the grave, .wending his way
across these never ending prairies, with the.
book of God as'his benediction to the chil
dren of men, ere he passed away from the
battle field to the peaceful reward which he
loved. And still, like his Divine Master, in
self denial, he loves and labors and. when
he can say, with his adored L ord, ."rt is.
.finished," . he will cease- his sanctified .toil.
A student from Gambier College,. a ,Mr.
Holden, an Episcopal youth preparing for
the ministry, also rendered good service.
Here we would bear testimony _that the,
Society will gladly weleome such laborers as .
Mr. II and rejoice in the proipect of , such
laborers in the vineyard of our blessed Isord.t
It is nothing but justice, to , all concerned,
and, to the love and grace of God, vouch
safed to , an infant church "to state that more
tlian #1250, of this amount nollected,' were
from the church and congregation of High, ,
land, and that in addition to 4125, contrib
uted dirring the same time, to the Boards of
our Church, and this` in addition to support
ing the, regular preaching' of the Gospel
among theinselvea, without aid from the
Board of Domestics Missions, ands all this
without one really rich person.
It appears there were ten. persons who.
paid $5 each; over twenty who paid between
$2 and $2.50 each, and , two who paid each
In•our day of excitement -and ; mammon
worship, and in this, almost the very law part
of our earth which is.tole peopled and cul
tivated for the first tinte, this is a very
pleasant and hopeful little light, which trod
has, in mercy, ushered upon these mighty
plains to,bght and cheer tbh weary, and fully
to arm for the only sanctified fight of earth.
And this work appears more in its heavenly
grandeur, when we reflect that there can , be
no spiritual light, no faith, nor tope, inde
pendent of the pure Word of God.
By-order of Are Society, J.
' - f#:.'Optg,
WHEN Mr; Whitfield was preaching in
New England, a lady became tke,subject of
Divine grace, and her spirit iTaB peculiarly
drawn out , in' prayer for *them. ,
She could
persuade' no one to pray with her but her
little daughter, about ten years of age. Af.
ter a time it pleased God to touch the heart
of the child, and give her hope of salvation.
In a transport of holy joy she then ex
claimed
." 0, mother, if , all the world knew this I
I wish I could tell everybody.. Pray, mother,
let me run to some of the Leighbors and - tell
them, that they' may be happy and love my
Saviour." -
ti Ah, my child," 'said the mother, " that
would be useless, for I suppose that were you
to .tell your experieaee, there is not one
within many:miles who would not laugh , at
you; and - say it was all a delusion."
"0, mother," replied the little 'girl ; " I
think they would believe me. I must go
over to the shoemaker and tell him. ; he .will
believe me?'
She ran over,
and found him at work in
his shop. She began by telling him that he
must die, and he was , a sinner, and'that she
was a sinner, hut that her blessed; Saviour
had heard her mother's prayers, and had for
giVeii all her sins-, and that now she was so
happy she. did not know how 4.c) tell it
~ , ',The.shoeninker was struck. With surpriii,,
and tears flowed ;down—like- rain
threw aside his work, and by prayer and
supplication sought; mercy. The neighbor
hood was awakened, and within a few months,
more than fifty persons were brought to the
knowledge of Jesus, and rejoiced in the
power of his grace.
