Mr, LbiToii—.1 (Communicated.)
find that my last arti¬
cle on bankruptcy and homestead laws*
has shaven too close on some people to be
veiy comfortable ; and just here-, I have
this to say : I had, nor have not any axe
to grind for myself or any one else, and
therefore, had no personalities. When I
use them, it shall be over my own signa
tiiie. One word to E. Strebor. You
aie Very much mistaken when you think
you recogbise in Philanthropist, the hand
that dealt you Such heavy blows last
summer. 1 am not the man, but will
try and interest you. To my subject.—
I am much pleased to see in the N. Y.
Ledger, of last week, an article frorii the
pen ot the celebrated Bishop Clark, of
Koovisland, in which he uses the same
theory, il not verbage, that I did in my
last article. I will quote a few paragraphs
from his letter, “I do not know who to
trust. This exclamation is wrung from
the public, when they see men from
whom they had a right to'expect better
things, covering up their property under
the folds of some legal fictiou to corceal
it from their creditors. It is wrung fr 0111
the public by the reckless extravagance
ot men and women, who are living on
the property of their creditors; going in¬
to bankruptcy or suspending payment
and then buying up their papers at low
rates; then claim that their first duty is
to support their families,” The Bishop
claims that their first duty is to pay their
debts, and then go to work to support
their families. In the conclusion, the
Bishop says ; “There are men that have
no right to live as they are now living,
and that their removal to some other
sphere (f existence would be no loss to
the world.”
1 shall only notice a few paragraphs
in Strebor s so called reply, for reply or
argument it is not. He does not allude
to a single passage of scripture I quoted,
I may be too fast, he may intend answer
mg them next week ; if so. he will please
me much, and he can have the pleasure
of answering a few more before I close
this article. Does friend Strebor honestly
believe that it the poor widow he refers
to, had of had that Christian confidence
in her God, that the poor widow of Za*
rephatb, 1st Kings, 17c. 10th to 17th vs.,
had, that it would have been necessary
to have “pleaded” the homestead, in or¬
der to have kept the barrel ol meal and
cruse of oil from failing?
StiCbor emphatically pronounces these
laws as “holy, just and good,” and that!
the Bible justifies them, and refers me to
one passage alone, to sustain his assertion
Well, if Sirebor or any one else can find
a -‘model homestead” in the 25th chap¬
ter of Leviticus, [where men and their
families tvere sold to pay their debts,]
his or tlifeir perceptible proclivities, or
imagination, is far larger than mine. In
the conclusion ot his sophistry, he virtu¬
ally admits I am fight. He says: “If
the debtor is dishonest, and betrays his
creditor.” Strebor evidently needs a
promptor. Enough of E, Strebor for the
present,
I ask every honest thinking man or wo>
man : Is there a member of your church
who would loan his Pastor (to say noth¬
ing of less officials) one thousand dollars
on call, without tangible security ? Your
answer is emphatically, “no,” Well,
why ? Is he not a Christian, and should
not a Christian hold his religion as the
strongest bond that could be brought to
compell him to pay his honest debts ?—
Can this state of affairs be traced to any
other source so fruitful of all abomina¬
tions, as these iniquitous laws ? They,
and 4be ^ a ^ one * bave displaced confidence,
and my honest opinion is, that any pro
fessor of religion, be he official or lay
man, who take advantage of these laws
to avoid paying an honest deb!-, does
ibore harm to the cause of religion and
good morals, than any single grogshop
keeper in the State of Georgia—and they
do harm enough,- God knows.
Does not the blessed Saviour, in Mat.
6th 6. 40th v., tell us “If any man sue
thee at the law and take away thy coat,
let him have thy cloak also,” Again, he
says, Alat. 7tbc. 12thv., “Therefore, what*
soever ye would that men should do unto
you, do yoa even so to them,” In Mat.
5th c, 16th v,, he tells us “Let your light
so shine before men that they seeng your
good works, may glorify your Father
which is in Heaven.” St. Paul, in Thes.
5th c. 23 d v., enjoins upon those profess
ing godliness to abstain from all appear¬
of evil. I will not make the argu¬
ment now, but leave friend Strebo [who,
by-the-way, seems to be very tender
whenever the homestead is mentioned,"}
to explain the passages of scripture I
have given ill this and my former article;
I nlay then answer and make the argu¬
ment. I now close with a quotation
from St. Paul to the Romans, 13 c. 7th
and 8th v,, “Render to all their due,
owe no man anything; but to love one-'
another - T for he that Idveth another hath
fulfilled the law.” P iilL ANTH ROPIST,

Again we are called upon to pay oui
last tribute of respect to otie of our be»
loved brethren. Brother Welcom \V.
Aldmand has been sumraond by the grand
faster to give an account of his Stew¬
ardship.
To the world, W. W. Almand was all
that a neighbor or friend could ask—
Generous, kind and trank. To us, who
so often in years past, obeyed his gavels
as Junior Warden, calling us from la¬
bor to lefreshment, and mixed and mm
gled with him in our pleasant ceremonies.
We were not surprised to hear that when
the gavel fell on the night of the fourth
instant; calling him from his earthly la¬
bors to that Celestial Refreshment, he
was ready to enter without a murmer, on
that joiifney lrom whence no man ever
returns.
Brother W. W. Almand, has long b een
a worthy member ot our order; his many
virtu3s we will strive to emulate, and
cheerfully draw the vale of charity over the
few friuits he had and strive to live that
we may make one in that Grand Celes^
tial Lodge to which we believe he has,
ere this, been admitted
And while we bow with reverential
awe to the mandates of the Great Mas¬
ter,
Be it Resolved, That in the death of
w, VV. Almand, this Ledge has lost
another of her brightest jewels, and we

Resolved, That a page be left blank in
our minutes sacred to the memory of our
deceased brother.
Resolved, That this memorial be
