If we.perform this service then wo shall sccuro their identification with iromotins all our inlrcsts. ^ he church is thq light of the world; it is therefore bound to illumin ate tho surrounding region. There is no special injunction to enlighten tbo while luce only, but we aro to ‘preach tho gospel to every creature.” ’’deareli tliu Scripture” is the command not ad dressed to our rdco only, but to man kind God "commaudeth all men everywhere to repent.” We aro un questionably responsible to God for our influence and ability to do good. "The poor yc have always with ybu” is tho declaration ot our davio'Ur, And by bis prbvi'dehtial iiVrungemeht We nVo con stantly reminded that vre live not for onrselvcs alone; tho oolorod race are bow emphatically “the poor among tho people." 2. But do wcnotowelt to them as a debt of gratitude 7 Wo remember how they, for our Bakes, endured heat and cold, wot and dry, summer und winter, cultivating our fields, • ministering to our comforts, promoting our wealth, improving tho country, and actually udvanqing civilization, by their physi cal labor; attending, upon us *t all stages of our lives, uurHitig ourchildrcn, wailing upon the sick, going with us to the burialof our dead, and ming iug llieir tears with ours in the open grave, ftan it be that all this is forgotten 7— And is it not a small return for till this that we are ashed to make, when it is proposed that ti e shall give them that modicum of instruction which will cu- uble. them to road, or ut least to know tllo Way of life eternal 7 It is under life pressbro ofthesc aud similar cou- sidcrutions tliatnfowol the citizens of Oxford have been moved to tuko the Inllfafivb in iliisenlorpi'isc. We proposo the establishment of a Sabbath scliool for the oral instruction tho colored people, as well As to teach them to read. Wo have, organized this Bchdttl With more than one hundred pUpils, ntid (waive teachers. 'Regular preaching also is pb.,vidcd fur them by tho resident. ministers of the different chUVch'es Of Oxford. We doirc to en list ill this work all our lellow citizens, as tlibro is room enough fur all, and work enough tor ull. Iu sueh a work us this, no doubt, the conviction of duty, und tho command of God, should bu sufficient motives to iictddte iis. But while we wbdld hot plefid tor the au, thbrlty of great tiames as a sanction to our course, or an inducement to others,, at the santo time we rejoice to find, that in many parts of the South, the prominent citizens and official dignita ries are actively moving in this matter. In South Carolina, Gov. Otr and, ilte first citizens of Charleston are urging tbe establishment of the common school system for thefreedmon. In Alabama, ex-Governor Moore and ex-Congressman Curry, are engaging in tbe movement, and elsewhere in Missis sippi, this field of labor is occupied by some of tbe most distinguished of our oitizens. AU this Bhows that tlio in- fluenco is at work which is to put into general operation an effective system of instruction for this people, in sacred and in secular knowledge. Let us, therefore engage in tho work in earnest, according as God shall open the way for us, and as you'consider your duty in connection with tho work, we ask you to decide upon that course that you will probably approve when the light of a coming eternity shall bo shed upon the subjeot. .
