258 - H July 10; ed:2/3 . One little girl tells us her parent, whom we had thought an ideal one, never speaks kindly to her. "Perhaps this Christian father, harrassed with the cares of life, was unconcious that he had roughly checked the fond attentions of his child; but could cares or the interruptions of his child excuse unkindness or a total want of tokens of endearment? Will fathers examine their habits on this point?" (2)

260 - H Aug. 20:2/2 - In a letter to the editor, "A Sincere Friend to Youth" says: Parents! how often do children forget the commandment: "Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother" because, in infancy, you neglected to bring them up properly and took little care for the development of character. How often have parents later regretted such carelessness when they saw their offspring go with the depraved and the wicked, all because firmness and purpose were lacking in early training!

"All that is required on your part is gentleness and firmness - unite and excercise these, and your children will be a blessing ....

"If you wish your children to be worthy members of society, bring them up (when young) in the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart therefrom." (10)

261 - H Oct. 6; ed:2/3 - There is perhaps no fact better established than that man is so constituted by nature that without activity of some sort he cannot enjoy soundness of body or mind. Children are active, and it is important that they be taught early to lead a useful life.

262 - H Dec. 31:2/4 - The following Children are now at the Township Poor House, for which the Trustees wish to obtain good places. - Three boys of the ages of 1, 2, and 4 years, and a female infant. M. M. Spangler, H. Ranney, J. R. Walters, Trustees. (verbatim) (1)

265 - H May 17; ed:2/1 . The slavery question is about to produce a division of the Baptist as well as the Methodist church.

A convention of the Baptist church in New England was recently held and measures were taken to separate from the south. From the tenor of the speeches and proceedings, a complete separation is inevitable.

"We regard the divisions of the Churches now going on as the most important movement of the day, touching our national unity. So soon as slavery becomes the dividing line between brethren of the same household of faith, it is easy to foresee that our political Union is weakened and endangered. It is but the stepping stone, we fear, to a wider and more general division; one that will eventually sever the confederated ties which now bind the Republic together. The South dis- cerned the crisis the anti-slavery feeling in the North is hastening, and hence their anxiety to secure the safety of the 'peculiar institu- tion' by an enlargement of its territory."

Episcopalian

280 - H Jan. 18:3/1 . In a letter to the editor, "Layman" says: "Not wishing to moot a theological question, 1 simply wish to ask a couple not theologically considered:

"Is the Church of New York, under the present suspension of B. T. Onderdonk, without a Bishop, or the Bishop without the Church?

"if the Church be without a Bishop, what is the Bishop without the Church?"

(H) The PROTESTANT CHURCHMAN states that in Onderdonk's case, he was dismissed from the church, but still retains the title of bishop although it is ex-officio. Unless he resigns the episcopate the dio- cese must continue without the services of a bishop, as they have no power to appoint another.

Mormon

285 - II Sept. 27; ed:3/1 - A professingly Christian mob in Illinois is burning and looting Mormon settlements in that vicinity, waging a re- lentless war against 20,000 Mormons who have been forced to abandon lands, homes, and temples to escape death. The chief sufferers are the Mormon women and children. The chief difficulty is a mere difference in several religious tenets and practices.

"Where can a parallel atrocity be found?" (3)

286 - H Oct. 23; ed:3/1 . The feeling against the Mormons in Illinois is more intense than it appears, following the murder by the Mormons of an anti-Mormonite named Delomire between Carthage and Pontusac, and but little is required to fan the flame into a conflagration.

"These things are deepening and concentrating the opposition to the Mormons, and we shall be truly happy if they get away without extermin- ation in the spring; for they are unprotected by law, and there seems to be no power in Illinois or the Union which can shield them from com- bined, determined and united foes."

(4)

287 - H Oct. 24; ed:2/1 - The Quincy WHIG states that the Mormons pro- pose to emigrate to Nootka, or Vancouver island, on the northwest coast of North America, and to organize their holy land there.

"It is a long journey, but nothing is impossible when a religious fanaticism takes possession of a people."

Presbyterian

283 - H June 30:2/2 - In a letter to the editor, "X" says: A few re. marks concerning the late Presbyterian convention in Detroit may be in- teresting to your readers. The convention, which has an enrollment of 200, was organized by calling Dr. Duffield to the chair. As usual, a business committee was appointed to carve out the work. Various items were reported for action. The reports of the committees were discussed and adopted.

The report last year in Cleveland was very decided in its opposition to slavery. This year the convention went a step farther, and issued a more solemn remonstrance against the giant sin. It called upon the church to have no fellowship with it.

"In looking over the convention, I was struck with the youthful ap- pearance of its members. But few of them were in the decline of life. It was evident, also, that most, perhaps all, were educated men; and I venture to say, that a more talented body of young men is seldom to be seen."

A beautiful and ingeniously constructed model stone cottage the work of Mrs. Joslyn and Mrs. Shaw of Chagrin Falls, was the fancy article of the fair and attracted considerable attention.
