REFORMED MENNONISTS.
From Menno Simon, a celebrated German
reformer otthe sixteenth century, arose the
denomieation of Christina professors-known
by the name of Mennonists, Mennonites, or
in common, parlance, Ileneests. In the ear.
ly part of .tbe eighteenth century, a few of
his followers from Switzerland settled in Lao.

the church, which has neither increased in

settlement in Pennsylvania. Their religions
tenets are the doctrines of the New Tests•
meat, both literally and spiritually, unaltered,
by man's interpretation, mutilation or inter
polation They reject war (even self defence)
judicial oaths, and everything else forbidden
by the literal text of t oripture, as incompat
ible with the true 'spirit of Christianity.
About the beginning of the present cen
tury, John Herr, a plain farmer of Lances
ter county,Pennsylvania, perceiving that the
Niennonists had departed from the princi
ples of Mennen Simon, and being impelled
by a strong religions zeal, began to meet,
from time to time, with a few of his friends
and neighbors whom ho had inspired with
his own religions fervor, for mutual initiate.

followers of Menno Simon, as well as others,
their meetings were made public, and a new
denomination was founded, which took the
name of Reformed Mennoniets, or, in—the
language of the world, New•Meneensts.
This society, which was first established
as a church in 1811, has extended, though
thinly,through the German Counties of Penn

some of the British provinces of North Am

ly amusements as incompatible with the pure
and simple life of a Christian. Sculpture,
paintings, and music—except the singing of
spiritual ,songs— are abominations in th e
eight of God. They do not, however, con.
demo their indulgence by children of this
world, nor do they forbid them to their own
children while they ere in the natural or
worldly condition, and before they. have be
come members of the church.
They hold that war, in all Its phases, is
forbidden by the'New Testament, except to
children of this world, as well as oaths, a
paid and educated ministry, and so appeal to
the civil law in any case whatsoever. But
these are forbidden only to the church—
those who have come out of the world. To
these who are yet without the pale of the
Chinch, and have not renounced the world
and it vanities, all these things are permit

nay, duties of a man of the world. S vo

say, cannot consistently withhold his sup
port in the time of its greatest need.
They hold that what is morally right, or

to the followers of Christ Although the
"powers that be are ordained of God," yet
those powers are for the government of this
world alone, which is still under the Jewish
dispensation, and at email with Christ; the
followers of Christ themselves need so goy-
eroment but His.
In conversation with one of the members
upon the evils of war. I , as an advocate of
the peaceful principles of William Reno,
joined but in his religious condemnation of
war; when, to my surprise, he defended it as
being not only right, but necessary for the
world to wage war in defence of its rights.—
I had thought that he oonsidered, as Wil
Liam Peon had, war to be an evil, that it is
wrong and 'wicked ; but, no—it is perfectly
right for rue, though not for him. This led
us to the question of—Morally right and re
ligiously wrong.
"How," I asked, "ean it be right for me,
man of the world, to do an act which it is
wrong for you to dor—a sin, for the commit.
sing of which you would be sentenced to ev
erlasting perdition?"
He answered : "For those outside of the
pale, who are already in the broad road to
destruction, to pluck a few of the fruits and
flower! does not aggravate the sin; it is their
being io the road, that is the sin, not the tas
ting of its fruits."
ds-it-wrong,lhe-asked,-- 6 for-you-to-assist
in the election of a President of the United
States? Is it an immoral act? No, you
will say, it - is not. Atni, it is, undoubtedly,
as much your duty—your moral duty—to
defend the government of your choice against
invaelon from without, and treason within.
Yet it is religiously wrong, and in direct con
tradiction to tbe-teaehing-of-the -- Word of
God. In a state of nature, we are permitted,
nay commanded, to defend ourselves and
our families against lawless depredators upon
our rights sod upon the peace and safety of
society. Yet, this in also religiously wrong
—wrong for a follower of him who a, 'Re
sist not evil.' proles e come out

odly strong; yet, I do not think because I
assist in putting a public servant in the
chair of State, who becomes the means of
enacting unjust laws, that I em morally
bound to assist him in their execution.—
The man whom 1 assisted to place in the
Preeidential chair, was mainly instrumental
in the palling' of ono of the wickedest laws
which ever disgraced the annals of human
law, compelling tue to assist in returning in
to slavery those who escaped tyranny and
oppression Am I. morally bound to sus.
tarn this law? No, not more than you. So
with a war which our rulers may bring upon
us. Oar rulers are but our public servanes,
and are elected 10 obey our will.
'My friend,' he said, 'we are not talking
about justice or injustice, but, about those
things (including war) which are forbidden
to Christians, but which a moral man and a
good citizen may justifiably do We of the
chief dutiet of the President of. the United
States, is to command the army in repelling
invasion and quelling insurrection; and every
man who has assisted in his election, owes
to him his assistance in the performance of
those duties, for could we expect them to be
done by the single arm of the President
alone? 'The powers that be are ordained of
God;' but those powers are only for the ru
ling of the government of the moral world.
For the Christians, no government is needed
except the government of Christ, our ruler
and la.w giver, submitting always, however,
to the government of Cmsar, when it does
not conflict with the law of God'
'Was William Penn then wrong,' I con
tinued, 'in establishing his government upon
the principlea of peace and good will to
wards men?'
'No,' he replied, 'he wee not, as a moral
man; but as a Christian, he was wrong in
accepting a position as one of the powers of
the world. God governs not by human
wisdom, nor the world by Christian rulers.
As a moral man, Penn was right in founding
his government as far as it was poseible upon
the principles of peace; but, after all, if the
sword bad been needed, the sword muss
have been used; and it was usedois far as
it was necessary, in his support. For,. what
would be the civil law without the military
power with which it must be supported? It
is customary to make a difference between
the civil and the military law, but, there can
be no law without the power to enforce it,
and, that power must be the sword'
'Has God, then,' said 1 4wo governments
—one for saints, and another for sinners?
And, if the world's government is m i t s ot.
ly in rebellion against God, and those eon
neoted,therewith, in the toad to everlasting
perdition. why should Ile countenance, en.
courage and assist them in their wide&
Dees, by piecing rulers over them and sup
porting by law that wickedness which ile
will eventually punish, and to comb out
from whioh, is the only way to be saved?—
What would you think of the governor of a
State who would thus mishit a band- of ag•
greasers against the law of the State, appoint
their chiefs, and declare to them that, as
good aubjeote, they must assist the obiefe,
in their depredations upon mankind; and at
the same time bald them-all to a strict so•
oeuatability to the laws of the State? Will
God doom me to eternal punishment for lol•
tilling his' own decrees?
qdy friend said be 'you equivocate. Your
doattioe leads directly to infidelity. God,

power of this world; and be also plainly tells

Having :hue given the substance of our
conversation, I premed with my dfilioription
When a member offends against the rule
of the church, he is dealt with in atriot do
&mince with the spirit and the letter of the
New Testament : 'Lt thy brother trespass a
gainst thee, 'go and tell him his fault b:
tween thee and him alone , if he shall hear
thee, thou haat gained thy brother ; but if
he will not hear thee, then take with the'
one or two more, that in the mouth of tw•
or three witnesses every word may be estab
fished : and if be shall neglect to hear them.
tell it unto the Church and if he neglee
to hear the Church, let him be to thee as
-beathed - and - a publican!' And, to the lette
do they keep these commands, neither elide ,
nor drinking with an excommunicated mem
ber, nor transacting with bun any worldl
business- whatever, eve(' though the offend
er be a husband or wife, brother or sister
- father - or - moth - et Allmembers are expressly
commanded to 'withdraw from* them, to s.hu •
them in all temporal and secular affairs—eat
iog, drinking, buying, and selling, dvil '
walk and intercourse—not excepting bus
band and wife, parent or child.'
Most other professedly evanegelical Christ
inn sects, or denominations, dispense wit •
those scriptural ordinances which do no.
suit their taste, convenience, or comfort,
ouch as washing of feet.' end the Christian
hire of fellowship—and disavow those point.
of doctrine which do not accord with thei
carnal views—such as peaceful submissio•
to injustice, oppression, and wrong , but th •
Reformed Nennonists accept of the who):
book as it reads, without addition or abbro
viation.
They do not appeal to the civil kw to pro.
teat or defend their rights. if unjustly su
ed at law, they quietly submit, without re
sistance or appeal. They even refuse, for
oonscienee sake. to assist in bringing a thief
to justice, who has stolen their property.
They are not permitted to hold office them
selves, nor assist others in any way, to oh
tain office.
They recognize lint - one faith, and bat one
church ; and refuse to acknowledge soy di
visions'of the church, into different sects or
denominations; nor is there more than one
way recognized in the Holy Scriptures, for
the worshipping of God. In accordance with
this belief, they refuse to attend at the relig
ious services of any other church or denom
inattan, or to hear a sermon delivered by one
of their ministers, even at the funeral of a
dearest friend They hold all but ONE
church to be false and heretical no matter
what may be their faith, creed or works, for,
as there is but one God, so there are (aod
the scriptures confirm this truth) but 'ONE
CHURCH,' ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM.'•--.
They do not however, openly declare their
Church to be that one; although they think
that they have a well-founded hope that
they are, at least, trying to keep in the 'ma
row road that leads to life.'
This, as far as I have described, is true
history of a branch of the professedly Chris
tiao Church, scarcely recognized by the com
munity of professing Christians, sod. to
them, almost unknown, bat, if purity of life
and doctrine according to the literal teaching
of the New Testament, is a test of Christian•
ity, its members. certainly and truly deserve
the oame,of Christian.
A Tounimiu INCIDENT.— The world is
full of mournful incidents. How littlo do
wo know of the poignant sorrow myriads of
our fellow creatures are compelled to suffer.
The following touchitig event w. take from
the Boston Journal:
'An express man upon reaching his office
early one cold , morning in January, observed
on the sidewalk, a long, heavy box, which
his practiced eye at once identified as coo
taining a eorepo. Upon the end of the box,
shivering with cold, sat a little half•elad boy,
about seven or eight years of age. Address
ing him kindly, be said:
'My lad, don't sit there, you will freeze;
come in and sit by the stove'
Bursting into tears the little fellow replied
'No, I can't oome, my mother is in this box
sod I promised her that I would not leave
her until we got home.'
Deeply affected with the touching devo
tion of this brave little fellow, be finally
outmoded is convincing him of the entire
safety of his precious charge, and taking
him to a neighboring reataurset, gave him
a warm breakfast, and then learned the
particulars of his story. His father died a
bout a year previoualy,•ia a remote village
in Minnesota, leaving his mother in poor
health and nearly destitute. She died but
a few days before the boy's sad jonhiey,
charging the little hero with the duty of
conveying the remaint to her friends in a
distant Stem, and furnishing him with (all
she bad) a sum of money barely. auffiolent to
carry them both by height ears to their des
dilation. The little fellow had actually rid
den night and day in a freight oar with his
melancholy tenet, nOver for moment losing
sight of it.
Punch thinks it would be a real .blessing
to mothers, if somebody could Jima a soap

The attendant led her into au adjoining,
ward, when, discovering Lieutenant if
of the Fifth Kansas, lying fast asleep on his
hospital conch, and thinking to have a little
fun, he pointed him out to the girl• She
sprang forward, and bending over him said :
'Oh, you dear lieutenant, let me kiss you
for your mother I .'
What was hor surprise When the awaken
ed 'corpse' ardently clasped her in his arms,
returned the salute, and exclaimed :
'Never mind the old lady; miss, go it on
your own account. I hav'nt_ the alighten
objection!
