In the absence of the President, the chair was occupied by Rev. David Root, of Guilford, Connecticut. Professor Whipple read the following selections from the Scriptures: So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that arc done under the sun; and behold, the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter. Eccl.4: 1.Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and boldest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more ria;hteous than he? and makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creepuig things that have no ruler over them? Hab. 1: 13, 14.Woe . to the oppressing city. Her princes within her are roaring lions: her judges are evening wolves: they gnaw not the bones until the morrow. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will do no iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, hefaileth not: but the unjust knoweth no shame. Zeph.3:1-5.He hath said in his heart, (iJod hath forgotten; he hideth his face; he will never see it. Arise, 0 Lord; 0 God, lift up thine hand; forget not the humble. Ps.10: 12.The Lord heareth the poor, and despiieth not his prisoners. Ps.09: 33.The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. Ps.103: G.He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. He shall redeem their souls from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. Ps.72:4.14. Thus saith the Lord; ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, 1 proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine.
