Episcopalianism

-A writer in theChristian Witness asks, uIIov cnn any man help beingan abolitionist, whoon every Lord's day, honestly and sincerely prays for 'pity upon all poor prisoncrs and captives' - who enlreals Gud Ho defcncl and provide for the fatherless cliildren and widows, and all who are desolate and op" pressed.' (Seethe Litany.) Whercshall we find the 'prigoner,1 the 'captive,' the 'widow,' the 'fatherless,1 the 'desolate,' and the 'oppressed,' if not under the crushing weight of American slavery? How can we ask God to pity such, if we do not? - Do we mean all who are desolate and oppressetl, or do we mean all whi'e people only? What! beseech God todefend tiiem nd never open our mouh in iheir defence, or only to vilify and abuse them, as unworthy to enjoy even their inalienable rights! Impossible! Howcanany one be agood Episcopalian, and not an abolitionist? '
