t was on the point of extinction. But for her full faith in her own divine mission, she could never have accomplished the task which she laid down for herself. Cromwell was a mystic of the highest order. But for his prayers, his groaning, his weepings, his supposed communion with the beings of the invisible world, he would never have obtained an opportunity of showing his great military talents. It was his character of saint that enabled him to establish his reputation as a soldier. Cortez was a mystic. St. James more than once appeared to his heated imagination, in the midst of a doubtful battle, cheering him on, and pointing out the road to victory. In a word, mysticism has not only been characteristic of some of the greatest men the world ever saw, but it has wrought changes, and is still working changes, which could be wrought by no other principle. Joe Smith was a mystic. Can anybody tell us where his teachings are to lead, or what is to be the end of them?

should be ready to go. I stand to defend our members in the South. I regard abolitionism as the greatest evil which could come on our country. To call us "Methodist Church, North," "the companions of thieves," and such names, is a common way of talking that has been refuted a thousand times. I can better combat abolitionism, with my face to the foe in the old Methodist Church, than out of it. The Digest of the Old School Presbyterian Church says harder things about slavery than our Discipline. Yet nobody suspects the members of that Church in the South. It increases. I honor that Church in the South. The South repudiates holding slaves as chattels. Dr. Smith and Professor Bledsoe repudiate the Northern meaning of "chattel," as applied to slaves. So do I. I can hold them as human beings. I am not to be driven, by the thunders of Yankeeism, out of the old M. E. Church. Without concluding, he gave way to adjourn. The subject was postponed until tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
