We from make the following extract work published ou "India, .Ancient ami Modern," by David O. Alor the American len, D. Dfor, Missionary e tMOiity-tlvloard, y'tnr in IudJa, tc. They are published In hs work da an appetnlix lvolctl to thm subject f Polygamy. This subject waa taken inU) cuoslderatiou by Dm Calcutta .Missionary .ufrenccf composed of IMUalooart" from various sects of Kng s, Jaod and America, and Including a, Epls-opllan- Presbyterians. Baptists and CouzregatloDalisU, In consequence of tne application of converts in India, who had been If Rally married to several wives and who had given credible evidence of their personal piety, to be admitted Into the church. Alter frequent consultations and much consideration the Conference unanimously came to the following conclusion: "If a convert, before becoming a Christian, has married more wives than one, In accordance with the practice of the Jewish and primitive Chris tian churches, he shall be permitted to keep them all, but such a person is not eligible to any ofllce In the church." The arguments which we quote be- jow are auvanceu. in Dr. Allen's work a a J us Ud cation ,of this action of the Conference of Protestant Missionaries on the subject. j "To those who Lave doubts In respect to the Intrinsic moral lawfulness of plu rality of wives as it existed among tne ancient Jews, and who wish further to examine this subject, the consideration of the following extracts from a work called 'Tbelyphthora,' published anonymously many years ago In England, is recommended. Tht author of this work says: "'The twst and fairest, and indeed the only way, to get at the truth, on this, as ou every occasion where religion Is concerned, is to lay aside prejudice, from whatever quarter it may be derived, and to let the Bible peak for Itself. Then we shall see that more than one wIfe,notwitbstandin?the seventh Commandment, was allowed by Ood himself, who, however others might take It, mu-- infallibly know Ills own mind, be perfectly acquainted unwith Ilia own will, and derstand His own law. thoroughly not did He If Intend to allow a plurality of wives, but to prevent and condemn It, either by the seventh commandment, or by wm other law, how Is It possible that He should make laws for Its regulation, any more than He should make laws for the regulation of theft or murder? Uow Is it conceivable that lie should give the least countenance to it, or so express Ills approbation as even to work mlradea in support of it? For the maka woman fruitful who was ing barren must have been tho naturally effect of supernatural power. He blessed, and in a distinguished manner owned, the issue, and declared it legitimate to all J n tents and purposes, if this be not allowance, what is? " As to the first namely, His making laws for the regulation of polygamy, let us consider what is written in Exo, 21: 10. If he (.?., the hujband) take him another wife (not, In io doin, that he tins against the seventh commandment, recorded in the preceding chapter, but), her food, her ralxugnt, (. c, of the first wife), and her duty of marriage, he shall uot diminish. Here Ood positively forbids a neglect, much more the divorcing or putting away of the first wife, but charges no sin In taking the second. " 2dly. When Jacob married Rachel be was barren, and so continued for many years; but God did not leave this aa a punishment upon her for marrying a man who had another wife. It is said. Gen. 30: 22, that Ood remembered llacher; and Uod hearkened uuto ber, and opened her womb, and she conceived and bare a ton, and said, Uod hath taken away my reproach. Burely this passage of Scripture ought to afford a complete answer to those who the words of the marriage bond asbring cited by Christ, Math. 19: 5 "They twain hail be one flesh" to prove polygamy sinful; and should lead us to construe them, as by this instance and many others the Lawgiver himself appears to have done; that Is to say, where a woman, not betrothed to another man, unites herself In personal knowledge with the man of her choice, let that man's situation be what it may, they twain shall be one flesh. How, otherwise, do wo Ifind such a woman as Rachel unite to Jacob, who had a wife then living, praying to God for a blessing on her intercourse with Jacob, and God hearkening to her, opening her womb, removing her barrenness, and thus by miracle taking away her reproach?
