"o following paper, written by tho Rov. T 1. Hurlbut, of Upper Alton, TIl,, was prasontod : It has not infrequently beon objected to the lendors of tho Anti-Slavery and lundred reforms, that thoy beeamo Inx and ekoptical in thoir re- ligious viows, unsettied and visionary in matters of theology. A roply made by the Hon. Owen Lovejoy to my wifo recurs to mo: “Initnot strango that so many of our old Anti-Slavory trionds bnve run wild In roligious mnttors?” “Not at all, to me,” wom his answor, “T only wonder that I oversco noy of them out of a straight-jackot.” So much has thero been in the practice of tho Christion Ghurel, in pasé years, to canse dount and unbellef in tho minds of thoso who hold that activo love to mnn must cooxist with ardent love to God, that I may, porhaps, bo indulged in dwelling sbmowhat disproportionately upon THE BELIGIOUS CHARACTER of the anbject of these personal reminiecancos. Llijoh Larish Lovojoy was of tho old Puritan atock of Now Eugland, and-of tho old Puritan faith.. Whon ho was fully sottled i his convio- tious of truth and duty o was as firm and im- movable a8 bis nativo granito monntaine. Ho was eminently truthful in act to bhis own convictions of right. All tho expedioucy o know was foarlossly to do his duty. Ilis boliefy woro deep and strong. Ho belioved not only in aporsonal God, but inn truthful, loving God— iu man's moral accountability and porsonal im- ‘mortaliy, in special Provideuco, ,that *not o sparrow fulls to tho gromnd withont Our Heavonly Father.” Ho belioved that * the Christ " was divino—*' tho brightness of the Fulhior's glory and tho express lmage of Iis per- son "—in tho Holy Ghost the divino comforter sent into tho world to oulighten, guido, and sanctify men for tioavon, Ho®bolieved in the ministration of augels, *“sent to minister con- solation to those who aro tho heirs of salva- tion ;" in the duty and efficacy of piayor—thut ‘iho prayor of the rightoous man availoth much.” o was himsclf & man of prayer, who dally walked with God. IIo believed in the re- wards of tho rightcons and tho punishment of {ho wicked, both in this world and the world to come. Lo belioved that **itis not in man who walketh to dircct his stops "—that men aroraised up, and appointed by Infinite wisdom _to the ac- complishment of spocifio ends in the divine pur- posa of salvation to the world, and that theman who docs not stand firm to tho post sesigned him is & rebol against God. This ha oxprossed in his MOST AFFICTING STRECI to the nssomblod citizons of Alton, nfow dars bofore his assussination: s ated Dy frionds in all directlons, from A oD Ftad.
