for the true Wesleyan the Murder detected

Mr. James Graball kept a public house on one

of the main travelled roads leading to the

great Commerical city of the country . he was

supposed to be in mederate circumstances, as

to property but was considered honest and

attentive to his buisness in those early days

of which we write, it was supposed that in-

keepers, who sold intoxicating drinks could

be honest, -- but other sentiments prevail now

My. graball rented the stand he occupied,

and was supposed to bee doing a moderate

buisness sufficient merely to support his

family of about a medium size

One morning an alarm was sent out among

the neighbors that a poor beggar whom they had

charitably taken in the night before, was found

dead in his bed that morning a number of

persons soon assembled and found it according

to the reports and after due examination of

the body, according to the custom of those times

it was interred in one corner of the common

burying ground, and as he was unknown in

the place, and had nothing about him indicating

his home or friends, he was soon forgotten, no

stone pointed out his grave, and in a few years

its particular location was unknown,

In a few years after this event, Mr. graball

purchased a farm in the neighborhood, up on

which he retired from in-keeping and appeared

to live in the perfect enjoyment of not only

the comforts of life, but even the fullness of

welth and it was often remarked that he had

been the most successful tavern keeper ever

known in that vicinity as observation showed

that this class of persons had usually retired

from business poor it was however supposed

to bee the result of his strict temperance

and attention to his business in connection

with his general domestic economy

much improved and occupied by another

and discipline who reject some things therein

plainly written , and practiced things not found

therein at all. such men are as sectarian, as those

who have a written creed or discipline, and not

quite as honest. I find that Br. Shinn bone

opponents find it much easier to call him,

an old crazy man, than to refute his argunents

or prove his statements untrue. there is nothing

that recommends a man higher in my estim

:ation than to hear his opponents say ' he is not

worth minding,' or call him by some ugly, or

unpopular name. I allmost take it for granted

that he has the truth on his side, and that the

dare not openly face hime. yours, M. Winans

Hymn

Religion is a glorious treasure,

the purchase of a saviours blood

it fills the mind with consolation

and lifts the thoughts to things above

it calms our fears and soothes our sorrows

and smoothes our way o'er lifes rough sea

'tis mixed with goodness, meekness, patience

this heavenly portion mine shall be

This earthly house must be dissolved

and mortal life will soon be o'er

all earthly cares and earthly sorrows

will pain my eyes and heart no more

but pure religion remains forever

and my glad heart shall strengthened be

while endless ages are onward rowling

this heavenly portion mine shall be

How vain, how fleet, how transetory

this world with all its pomp and show

its vain delights, delusive pleasures

i'll gladly leave them all below

but grace and glory shall be my story

while I in Jesus such beauties see

and endless ages are onward rolling --

this heavenly portion mine shall be

July the 30. 1842 it is a raining quit smart

no written creed or discipline, leaving the

world to guess at our faith and manners? this

argument if it proves any thing, proves that

there are none who believe the scriptures,

and practice as they direct, or that the

scriptures are defective, and need emendation or

addition to make them effecive and useful. the argu:

:ment may be condensed thus. the scriptures are a

dead letter and they require a living letter, called

a creed or discipline, to carry them into effect,

who will affirm that a written creed or discip:

:line, has more life and power inlt, than written

word of god has? I goe with the apostle and say that

he who receives the testimony of man can receive

the testimony of god . because the testimony of god

is greater and better tan that of man I was

much pleased with Br. Shinn's last piece on

controversy.' he has expressed my views on

that subject better than I could have done it

my self, and when he shall have proved, that

no class of men are divinely and exclusively

autherised to expound the scriptures, then I

will take his proofs and shew that all creeds

and disciplines are made by just such men as

claim the right to dictate and guide others in relig:

:ious matters, and that all such books, including

the little book; recommended by him, are nothing

more nor less than the expositions of falible men,

and that they all have a tendency to restrict

private Judgment. the chief difference betwene the

man who adopts a written creed or discipline ( other

than the scriptures) and the man who takes the

scriptures alone as his creed and discipline consists

in this, that the former --- ---- reads the

scriptures to find proofs favoring his creed or

discipline, while the latter reads the scriptures to

learn his duty to god, that he may do it. the former

considers all things found in the scriptures noness:

:ential unless expressed in his credd or discipline,

while the latter can consider all the teachings of god

essential and necessary to his welfaire here and

here after I am aware however, that there are men

who profess to take the scriptures alone for the creed

For the western Recorder

the little book again, friend Springer

in my last I called on Br. shinn for proof

that creeds or disciplines in the general, had

prevented divisions among those adopting

them, and in this I ask him to shew that

the little book, recommended by him, has

been more successful than its predecessors

if he is not already apprised of it, permit

me to inform him, that in the limits of

my acquaintance, some preachers, and

several memebers, who once adopted '

the little book, have either went back into

the old line, or strayed off into other denom:

:inations. so that ' the little book itself; has

proved a failure but onother argument has

been used in favor of creeds and disciplines,

which I must notice, namely, ' it is more honist

and fair, to have our belief written out and

published, so that the world may know exactly

what we do hold to, and believe, than to have

original builders have no right what ever

( see deed of settlement in Book of discipline

;) and, indeed, we know instances in which

local ministers leave vested large sums of

money for the purpese of erecting houses of public

worship, who because the have united with

the Reformers are prohibited from preaching

in these same houses, and other men who

built them not, are enjoying the use of them. we

say the meeting houses, chapels, parsonages,

colleges, and academics in the Methodist Episcopal

church are the exclusive property of the clergy,

to which the membership have no claim. and,

indeed, the laity in said church, according to

book of discipline are taught the doctrine of sub:

mission or exclusion I am aware, sir, that in

sections of country where prodestant methodism

is popular some parts of the discipline of the M.

Episcopal church is dispensed with, classes are

sometimes allowed so to elect their own leaders;

preachers and leaders admit of open doors in love

feasts and class-meetings: they invite chris:

:tians of all denominations to unite with them

in the means of grace, without reference to

the numbers of times the may have previously

been present. now, sir; what is this but sail:

:ing under a false Flag? why not at once

repeal the hateful laws, declare by their book

of discipline that they are Reformers in

principale, and not where circumstances call

for it: adopt the usages of the Methodist protesta

:nt church, and then to made every thing

appear right, tell the world there is no

difference between the forms of government

if light and darkness are alike, then are we

antagonist branches of the church alike. piracy

I hate with a mortal hatred: a ship sailing under

the false flag of liberty withe the manacles,

fetters and implements of slavery on board

ought to be over hauled, her crew and officers

arested, and her crime exposed to the detestation

of the world: but the ship that at all times: under

all circumstances, sails under her own proper

-icting polity of the two methodist churchs

if the statement above refferred to

be generally believed, what will

be the concequence, the seceders from

the Methodist Episcopal church will

appear Before the world in the charater

of aspiring, amBitious schismaticks:

who without cause left the bosom of the

true church, and, forsooth, established

another upon the same principales of

polity with one from which they seceded:

and thus in the estimation of wise men

muust be for ever considered worse

than fools ! the story being admited,

but what is the fact in the case? there

is no more resemblance in the forms of

the churches alluded to, than there is

between the government of these united

states and the govenment of the chinese

in the celestial empire. why, sir, in

the methodist episcopal church, the

laity in her administration have no

representation, either directly or

indirectly: -- we write withe out fear

of successful contradiction. let the

clergy in said church point us to the

clause in their discipline, ( for constituti

:on you know they have none. ) in which

the right of suffrage or representation

is secured to her membership, and we

promise our head for a foot ball. we

make positive assertion, and we defy con:

or consent of the membership. ( Read

her officers are all created by the clergy

from the class leader to the bishop,

with out reference to the will of the

membership of said church in any

shape or form. her property is all the

property of the clergy, in which the

For the western recorder

Mr. Editor: sir. it has come to pass that every

friend of reform on this vast continent: should

step fourth and shew himself the unflinching,

unwavering, untiring advocate of mutual

rights, I detest a creature that like the bat in

the fable sometimes declares himself a bird

and sometimes a beast, according to the

strength of parties and the appearances of

Victory. let every firm friend of the

rights of men stand forth in the ranks

and shoulder to shoulder meet the

ecclesiastical aristocracy, that swarm over

our land like pharaoh's locusts; and in

sound and solid argument on church

policy we shall conquer, z for we can do more

than . Br. Kinney has written one chase

tens We claim the promise of god's word:

one shall chase a thousand and two put

ten thousand to flight. what in the nam

of comm sense do you think, sir, has

come to pass in this country? why the

clergy of the Methodist Episcopal church

and their minions are ended roring, by

every possible means, to persuaid the communi-

-ty that there is little or no difference betweene

the forms of the government of the Methodist

Episcopal church and the Methodist proddistant

church and thus are really deceiving hundreds

of abler pens than mine have promised to

the columns of the recorder to investigate

this matter, but Mr. Editor whilst we wait

for a feast, permit us to enjoy a common

meal. we think a baser false hood was

never reiterated than that now in

circulation, from maine to Louisiana and

from the bay of fundi to the gulf of mex

-ico, namely, that the two eccleciastical

goveerments above referred to are similer

or nearly alike. so then is democracy and

aristocracy -- so is a repuptican government

and that of an absolute monarchy reconcile

these conflicting forms of governments
