28. XXVIII.
CONFESSION OF FAITH.

Church uv St. Vallandigum, Orgust the 31st, 1863.

We hed the glorusist kind uv a seesun yisterday.
The winders wuz opend, and a showr uv
pure Dimekratik grace desendid upon us, and we
wuz blest. Glory! We reseeved into our Zion
18 young men, who reseevd the faith by inheritance,
ther fathers hevin alluz voted the strait
ticket. The follerin is the Confeshun uv Faith
too wich they subscribed:

Queshn—Dostest thow bleeve that Canaan wuz
doomd to bondig becoz uv Noer's gittin tite; that
Hayger and Onezimus prove the skriptoorality of
the fugytiv-slaiv law; that, taken ez a hull, they
show that the ketchin uv niggers with dorgs is
commendible and evangelikle?

Dostest thow bleeve that the present war is

111

Page 111
unconstooshnel and unholy; that it wuz brot
on by the Abolishnists interferin with slaivry;
that the bombardment uv Sumter wuz rite, tho
hasty?

Dostest thow bleeve that Linkin is a tyrent
and usurper; that he hed no rite too subjoogait
the Sowth; that his callin out troops wuz unconstooshnel;
and that every thing he hez dun, since
the war begun, is likewise unconstooshnel?

Dostest thow bleeve that Vallandigum wuz sent
in2 the world to save the Dimekratik party; that
in doin it he wuz arestid at Dayton, tride afore
Ponteus Burnside, and sent Sowth; that, after 3
months, he riz agen in Canydy, whense he shel
cum ez soon ez hese electid, and Pooh goes after
him with 300 thowsan?

Dostest thow take the Crisis?

Dostest thow bleeve that the sentrel committis
is the sole dispenser uv opinyun, and wiltest thow
alluz yawp wen they wink?

Dostest thow bleeve that skratchin a tikkit is
the onpardonable sin?

Dostest thow bleeve that this war wuz got up
to free niggers, and that to-day Linkin hez 75,000
niggers in the North, a feedin on fride oysters and
hot punch?

Dostest thow bleeve that Lee is the greatest

112

Page 112
gineral uv the age, and that all reports uv Fedral
victries is lies?

Dostest thow bleeve Ben Butler's a beast, and
Hamlin a mulatter?

Wiltest thow pledge yurself 2 uncompremisinly
oppose yure sisters marrying niggers, no matter
how much they want to?

2 all uv these questuns the candidates anserd:
“I dost.” Bro. Tuttle extendid the rite hand uv
fellowship, and after making a × to their names,
wich I hed previously ritten in our church-book,
they wuz made members of my flock.

The coz is prosperin. We commense a series
uv revival meetins next week, and hev made extensiv
preparashens therefor. 10 barls of condenst
Dimokrasy, 20 barls uv beer, and 300 yards
uv bolony hez bin pervided. Ther will be a outporin.

Petroleum V. Nasby,
Paster uv sed Church, in charge.
