No Strife among brethren. losaible that some of our rend loliecd the severe t^rms in le of our white friend" are [sk for robbing the colored Seople, or at least, misappropriating funds raised to aid them. It seems that the election of one of the acer - taries of the American Missionary oocicty to the Presidency of the Howard University in pVuce of a col ever! man* was the occasion of this recent expression of a long felt feel ing of dissatisfaction. The New York Witne?? has a good article on this subject, from which the following is au extract: lu the second place the American Miuiiioimry Association, which seem to .be now the object of special dislike, was cou. men ced for the grand purpose of espousing the cause of the slave, a most necssary and heroic work at tin time. It insured general obloquy for its abolition principles, its missionar ies and teachers were violently perse cuted and forced to flee from the South, but in the face of the most discouraging obstacles it did what il could with noble perseverance. \V hen the war broke out it made a raoBi strenuous effort to follow tho Non It em armies with its teachers and mis sionaries to aid the blades as soon as sst free, and with the aid of the Freed men's Bureau it occupied the field with missionary teachers i.s fast as it was recovered to the Union. At one -time the association had five hundred missionary laborers in the South, and the schools they opened are wc pre oume, open still, several of them hav ing been developed into colledges. No society, probably, in the history of the world labored more assiduously or successfully for the elevation of any people than this Society did for thc colored race. It was the channel through which great numbers of North ern Christians poured forth their mon ey.-like water, to elevate and evange lise the freedmen, and most faithfully did it appl> that money. Nor is its work over. It has some half-dozon well-appointed and most sueccuaful colleges at work in the South train ing colored youth for teachers, min {stets, ami missionaries. If the race H to be elevated, it will he mainly through these colleges. Now, are these Northern donors who constitute the American Mission ary Association to be condemned becanse they have sleeted white men to administer their bounty ? Surely it waa their business to put men the\ knew and trusted for wisdom, pru dence, and ability, as well as integri ty, into the management of their so ciety. Had they chosen Fred'k Dou glas for manager, what certainty was chere that be would have done any bettor than he has done as President ^the Freedmen's Savings Bank? ff? do not fr? a moment imagine that hs was a participator in the robbery of that bank--on tho contrary, we bc Kevo in his rectitude-^but he had not the ability to perceive, or strength of character.to prevent it? depletion by the clever Washington ring of soon nd reta who got themselves put into the management- fer tho purpcse-,-appar ently of robbing it. In al) missionary efforts lt has been ?a-?-????? II ?.aartM-nun iniiMirrmrr lound necessary to keep thc mauage incnt in the budds Of th?se who give ihe runda, aiid'nol to put it into tin* hands of those who ar? to receive the benefit of them. Thc latter often think th y should have the handling of thc money and the fixing of their own salaries, hut this does not work well. In some cases one of thc ince to he benefited is admitted to the committee of management, but cither tlie whole committee lias to give over I he management into his hands on account of his presumed superior knowledge, or to decline his advice ; mid in any case all the rest of the race are jealous of iii tn, and are apt Lo accuse him of favoritism and un fairness. For these reasons we cannot .herefore, blame the Amurcan Mis nonary Association for keeping thc management uf it? affairs from thc rac? that is to be benefited. Wheo tailored men get their own missonary anti educational societies, and sup port them, the> will be in the righ position to manage them also ami every one will wish that- that day may soon come. With respect tb- nibbing Howat<1 University to establish a Congrega tional chinch in Washington, tin- facts ave, wc understand, that a part of tin endowment fund of the University waa loaned to the Congrag ilionu Church there, which ?B said to ba tb? ouly church in Washington that ad mit? colored people on precisely do same footing as whites. Thc luau it at the full rule of interest, and is sc cured by properly to nearly doubh the amount. The colored men arc right in doing all in their power to foster lu-inhnod independence, self-support, and hnai ness management muong their bretb ren, but to distrust and denounci those '.no have done au much tor then is simply monstrous ingratitude Such conduct is somewhat akin ti to that of the Jews, win? cried concern ing their best frie.nrami benefactor "Crucify Hun ! crucify Him 1" and i is calculated* to deprive them of tb confidence of their white friends gen ernlly. We trust, therefore, thu Fredrick Douglas and other leadin; men among them will not allow thei own personal feelings to injure thei race by obstructing the stream < Northern sympathy and aid lor tb great work of their moral elevation.

Our Methodist rules usstliiii' MIHI it is une ot several other dut len which the ..Spirit writes on linly awakened hearts." Such persons in iv neglect it, they ma\ decline the performance from lack of courage, or fiom fan cied incapacity, imt they cannot lie clear in their consciences. It is good for the whole family wife, children, guests, and servants to worship God in this way. Even the cuts and dogs, and oilier domes lie animals, come lo recognize the usage, and seem ?he better for i', though they may uot un lerntnud ibo import aa fully a? their masiers. Servants may avoid participation, but. they feel the influence, nud are con scious ilia!. God is under the roof as above it. Careless and ungodly neigh bors come to know it, and in spite of themselves look upon that house as different from theirs, and bi tter. It i a testimony to the world without, witnessing for the Uni lu and preach ing in an humble wa?,.
