questions. Is it your supreme desire to do 
good ? Do your children since you have. 
been converted, say that you are a great deal 
better than you were before ? Does your 
wife say that you are easier to live with than 
you were before ? Does your husband say 
that you are more kind and gentle than you 
were before ? Do the young men that are 
under your care say that you are better na-
tured, more patient, and more considerate of 
their good than you were before? Are those 
processes by which you touch your fellow-
men more fragrant of love and goodness than 
they were before ? Ask those with whom 
you are brought in contact in life what your 
conduct is, if you want to know whether you 
are a Christian or not. Evidence on this 
subject you can get, first, from your own con-
sciousness; or, secondly, if you fail to get it 
from your own consciousness, you can get it 
from those that know you. It is not possible 
for a mart to have a ruling spirit of benevo-
lence without finding it out. For you can 
no more hide benevolence than you can hide 
light. The hardest thing to hide is light. 
Even where, as in times of war, men at night 
try to curtain the windows, and stop up all 
the holes, so as to shut in the light and keep 
all knowledge of their whereabouts from the 
enemy, the light will get out. The very 
sparks that fly out of the chimney will re-
veal that there is fire there; or the light will 
stream out through some unsuspected aper- 
ture. You cannot have a house full of light 
and prevent the light from getting out some-
where or other. And so it is with a Chris-
tian's heart. Summer might as well make 
believe that it was winter, as a heart filled 
with Christ's love try to conceal that love. 
The air will be full of summer, and the 
ground will be full of it ; and wherc there is 
the love of Christ in the heart it will mani-
fest itself to all that are within its reach. 
There is no masquerading in summer, or in 
true Christian life, whose nature is that of 
love universal, and that is to be known in its 
outplays upon all that are around about us.

AT THEIR WORD. 
"Oh, that I were dead !" cried the bull-
finch. 
"I don't wonder at it," said the cat, sitting 
with her eyes fixed on the cage. 
"To be penned up here from day to day, 
while all my friends are rejoicing in the 
sweet sunny sky and the flowers," said the 
bullfinch. 
"How distressing !" said the cat, with 
much feeling. 
"And just to be allowed, now and then, 
for a few minutes to try my wings by a flight 
round the room," said the bullfinch. 
"Mere mockery !—a cruel insult I call 
that," said the cat. 
"As to singing, how can I sing ?" said 
bully. 
"How, indeed !" said the cat. 
"This piping song that I have been drilled 
into, not a word of it comes from my heart." 
"I could never bear anything that did not 
come from the heart," said the cat demurely. 
"Oh, that I were dead," said the bullfinch. 
"It's what your best friends must wish for 
you, dear," said the cat ; "and, as the door 
of your cage is a little ajar, I see, you have 
only to come out, and—" 
"And what ?" asked the bullfinch. 
"Why, dearest, I would, however painful 
to my feelings, soon put you out of your 
misery," said the cat, preparing to spring ; 
upon which the bullfinch set up a scream of 
such terror that his mistress flew into the 
room, and puss was glad to escape down 
stairs. . ...— 
A MINISTER'S STRENGTH. 
In the economy of divine grace, and the 
organization of the Church on earth, God in 
his infinite wisdom saw proper to call cer-
tain persons to preach the gospel ; and it is 
his will that those whom he calls to that 
work should be efficient, and in order to be 
successful, they must have strength. It is 
not my purpose to speak of all the necessary 
qualifications of a minister of the gospel of 
Christ. Of one thing only would I speak, 
and that is Consecration. In this I con-
ceive is the minister's strength. Education 
has its advantages, and when consecrated to 
God will only add so much more power to 
the minister. 
Consecrate simply means to dedicate—to 
devote. To consecrate to God is to dedicate 
one's self to his service and worship for time 
and eternity. To specify more particularly, it 
would embrace the devoting of one's soul, 
body, spirit, time, taleqt, influence, reputa-
tion, property and character to the service of 
God. A man without this entire devoted-
ness to God is liable to become discouraged, 
and is easily turned aside from the great 
work of winning souls to Christ. In fact he 
is only half a man in God's cause. There is 
a power in consecration, even in a bad cause. 
Let a man get a purpose fixed in his mind, 
and then throw his whole soul into 
it, and what can he not accomplish ? 
What gave Washington his power as a gen-
eral? Was it his superior knowledge in 
military tactics ? No. It was this ; Wash-
ington was consecrated to the service of his 
country. What gave Luther his success and 
power ? Was it because no man that op-

and not for good." This relentless pursuit 
of the transgressor, yet for purposes of grace, 
showing, when God opens our eyes to behold 
wondrous things out of I-is law, how lie 
"bath concluded all under sin, that he might 
have mercy upon all," is surely worthy of 
prayerful study by all evangelists. 
We hear of "gospel texts" as if the Book 
from its Alpha to its Omega were not all 
gospel. Every line of the Bible is gospel ; 
it is all glad tidings, for it is one revelation 
of God to man; and God is love.—Revival.

sleep has no place in it, and cannot be predi-
cated of it. 
5. When the body is asleep the soul is 
awake and active, as appears in abundance 
of instances, in dreams and visions of the 
night, when deep sleep falls upon men, and 
is capable of attending to what is suggested 
to it, and of receiving instruction ; it under-
stands and perceives, devises and contrives, 
reasons and rejoices, hopes and feats, loves 
and hates, and the like; it can take in hints, 
admonitions, advices, and directions from 
God, or angels sent by him ; as in some not 
good men, as Abimelech, Laban, Balaam, 
etc., and others truly good men, as Jacob, 
Daniel, Joseph, etc., whose souls, when their 
bodies were asleep, were capable of attend-
ing to them, and receiving them, and acting 
according to them." 
BOARD OF CONTRIBUTORS. 
ries of brief articles, that the same rule of in-
terpretation, so generally given to the first 
three chapters, apply to the subsequent chap- 
ters of the book. Not only so, but I sin-
cerely believe I shall clear the way for a 
more satisfactory study of the book, by all 
anxious lovers of the truth. If I fail, then 
I propose to gladly adopt any better view, 
any other students of prophecy can present. 
And I further believe the views I Aran pre-
sent will be considered the most practical, 
by such as are looking for an immediate 
"revelation of Jesus Christ." 
Not only more practical and profitable, 
but more than this, it preserves the integrity 
of Scripture language. This should be the 
first consideration of every' honest reader of 
the Bible. Who can believe that the "lively 
oracles of God" are couched in such equivo- 
cal languages, that there can be sixty differ-
ent expositions of the Apocalypse, and we 
must make a choice of some one, or parts of 
all ! And this must be the fact, if that book 
has had a complete fulfillment, or any por-
tion of it, after leaving the first three chap-
ters. 
Although I claim a literal fulfillment in 
the future, of all after chapter three, as 
much so as for the fulfillment of the three 
first in the past ; yet no doubt, the largest 
portion may cast a shadow back, as the first 
did a shadow forward ; but in both cases the 
literal must be so plainly the fact, as to take 
away all real occasion of a difference of opin-
ion among all believing the Bible. 
Any other exposition will plunge us into 
an ocean of uncertainty ; into a chaos of al- 
legorical and mystical interpretation, of which 
no one can have au adequate conception who 
has not been at the trouble of reading the 
various expositions which have been written 
on this single portion of Scripture. I have 
been to that trouble—commencing my stud- 
ies in 1815, a little before the career of the 
first Napoleon terminated. My chief' mis-
fortune for the first twenty-five years, was to 
drink in the views based upon the hypothe-
sis of Daniel Whitby and his coadjutors. The 
last twenty-five years I have endeavored to 
follow "the mind of the spirit." "The testi-
mony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

could have displeased the most cultivated 
mind, or offended the most fastidious taste. 
To the law and to the testimony. The ques-
tion is, do the later Scriptures forbid that 
which the Holy Ghost had foretold by Joel, 
testified to by Peter, and recorded by Luke ? 
We are satisfied that they do not. 
There are times when the word of God 
comes in demonstration of the Spirit and of 
power, not only to the hearts of individual 
hearers, but of the whole assembly. It was 
so on this occasion, and we believe that no 
one, except such as were shut up of their 
own will to a foregone and adverse conclu-
sion, could have been insensible to the power 
of God accompanying the words which he 
poured out from a weak vessel in more than 
ordinarily weak health. 
To leave, however, the preacher for the 
testimony. The word of the Lord was 
precious in Samuel's days, for there wag no 
open vision. There are phases of truth 
which are peculiarly precious in these days, 
because of the neglect into which they have 
fallen. It is specially the character of the 
preaching which is most general amongst us, 
to set forth objectively the lost condition of 
man, and over against this the vicarious 
death, and the resurrection and glory of 
Christ, as God's method whereby abounding 
sin was met by superabounding grace. The 
busy, active, restless, sensational, unmedita-
tive spirit of the times, as it unfits, disin-
clines, and often disables u from communing 
with our hearts, and contemplating the deal-
ings of the Father of spirits with our spirits, 
renders it far easier to present the truth out-
these lines ; and the conviction came that I wardly than to apply it inwardly. A young 
this state of complacency rested on a very I student might deliver a lecture, stating with 
insecure foundation. For we doubt not that faultless accuracy the relation of a certain 
every week there is that in our columns treatment to disease, but begreatly at a loss, 
which is "debatable matter" to some or other if required, to apply his principle to an urgent 
of our readers. We should never have case in the hospital ; and there are numerous 
pleased either Gcd or men, if we had gone 
upon the principle of considering only what 
would gain the assent of all. Sooner than 
The time for toil is past, and night has come, 
The last and saddest of the harvest eves ; 
Worn out with labor long and wearisome, 
Drooping and faint, the reapers hasten home, 
Each laden with his sheaves. 
Last of the laborers thy feet I gain, 
Lord of the harvest, and my spirit grieves 
That I ant burdened, not so much with grain ; 
As with a heaviness of heart and brain ; 
Master, behold thy sheaves ! 
Few light and worthless,—yet their trifling weight 
Through all my frame a weary aching leaves ; 
For long I struggled with my hapless fate, 
And staid and toiled till it was dark and late, 
Yet these are all my sheaves. 
Full well I know I have more tares than wheat, 
Brambles and flowers, dry stalks and withered 
leaves, 
Wherefore I blush and weep, as at thy feet 
I kneel down ,everently and repeat 
"Master, behold thy sheaves." 
I know these blossoms, clustering heavily 
With evening dew upon their folded leaves, 
Can claim no value nor utility,— 
Therefore shall fragrancy and beauty be 
The glory of my sheaves ! 
So do I gather strength and hope anew ; 
Full well I know thy patient love perceives 
Not what I did, hut what I strove to do,—
And though the full ripe ears be sadly few, 
Thou wilt accept my sheaves.

is a character not built up in a day. It is a 
complicity of duties and graces. Each duty 
is to be known and done : each grace covet- 
ed and cultivated. No duty is to be neglect-
ed to perform another ; no grace cultivated 
at the expense of other graces. The whole 
man is to be transformed. Piety is to be 
wrought into the entire web of life, suffused 
over the whole character. The entire love- 
ly group of Christian graces is to be clevl-
oped in due and relative proportion and 
prominence. Religion is to pervade, subor-
dinate, vitalize all thoughts, feelings, words 
and acts. 
It is no trifling task to form such a char-
acter. Diligently must the daily routine of 
duties be studied ; not one of them should be 
neglected; no two of them ever conflict. 
For the full and free discharge of each God 
gives ample time. Time otherwise employed 
than in fulfilling the mission of the moment 
is misemployed. Most carefully and delib-
erately must the Christian frequently exam-
ine his heart, probing it thoroughly and as-
certaining the progress made in growth in 
grace, the true state of his heart toward God 
and man. He mug strive after perfect sym-
metry of character. That this may be an 
absolute attainment is nowhere inculcated in 
the Scriptures. A relative holiness, how-
ever, is positively enjoined. 
He who, in his relations, conditions, con-
nections, and circumstances, exhibits the 
Christian character, is a living epistle known 
and read of all. He is a light of many burn-
ers, by each of which some one is guided, 
and when all are shining brightly many are 
illuminated. Beholding his good works 
they yield obedience to the principles by 
which he is governed—are influenced by 
them, and thus glorify their Father which is 
in heaven. Each Christian has a duty to 
perform, which, if he neglects, never will be 
done. A chief of the Macgregors, a High-
land clan, who had warmly espoused the 
cause of' the exiled Stuarts, when advancing 
under the banners of Charles Edward 
against the English troops at the battle of 
Preston Paus, in 1715, was struck to the 
ground by the balls from the enemy. His clan, 
seeing their beloved chieftain fall, began to 
waver, when the wounded captain instantly 
raised himself upon his elbow, as the blood 
streamed from his wounds, exclaimed aloud, 
"Iam not dead, my children ; I am looking at 
you to see if you do your duty." Jesus is not 
dead. He has been exalted to the right hand 
of the Father, and there is looking to see if his 
followers are doing their duty, that he may 
reward them accordingly.—Methodist Ps otes-
tant.

STATE OF THE RIGHTEOUS DEAD. 
We had our ordination and picnic ; the 
first at Townsend in a grove, a very fine 
place, fine day, and good assembly and at-
tentions. Bro. J. V. Crooker, of that place, 
who was received at our Conference and or-
dination, appointed to be with the church 
where he labors. The church is small, but 
good, and united and approve him. Bro. 
Reynolds reached there Saturday night, and 
held meeting with the church, and preached 
Sabbath morning, and had all things ready at 
3 o'clock for preaching, at which time reached 
there and gave the ordination discourse from 
2 Tim. 4 : 1-5. 1. The great work assigned 
him. 2. The many reasons given for it. 3. 
The tremendous motives presented. 4. The 
corresponding of the church implied. After 
the discourse, the candidate was questioned 
as to faith and duty, experience and disci-
pline, and acquitted himself satisfactorily. 
The writer then offered the ordaining prayers 
and by laying on of hands of Eld. Reynolds 
and myself he was designated as an elder 
and minister in Messiah's Church, Bro. Rey-
nold's giving the right hand of fellowship. 
Three carriage loads went up from here, 
about eight miles. I staid and preached the 
next evening to a full house and attentive. 
The next Wednesday came our Sabbath 
school picnic in a grove near here. It was 
rather short notice. A little too soon in sea-
son for the farmers, and a Wesleyan Camp-
meeting three miles off, came the same time, 
so we did not expect great things. But it 
turned out much better than we expected. 
The young men provided four excellent 
swings. The ladies provided amply the good 
things for the table, more so than I ever saw 
before for the number, and we had an hun-
dred and fifty to be fed, though we expected 
but seventy-five, yet they had enough and to 
spare. We had singing and addresses, at both 
opening and close, with prayer, and the most 
oderly, happy and pleasant time of all I have 
had in a long ministry. Not a rowdy or 
rough, or one disorderly in all. And So it 
passed off; all satisfied. It was good and not 
to be regretted. Such cheer the children, and 
are a benefit to all, and also remembered 
with delight. But where the wild and wicked 
take the lead and control of them, and roughs 
and rowdies revel in rudeness and noise, it 
spoils them ; they become a nuisance and 
curse. The minister, church and teachers 
should all see that they are good and an 
honor to Christ, and a Christian church al-
ways. To Black Creek Sabbath school, I 
must give the palm of all I have seen thus 
far in picnics. God grant all our others may 
imitate and excel them in future. 
They remind us of Eden. 
Tey remind us of our loss. 
They remind us of our hope to come. 
The joy of meeting and sorrow of parting 
teaches a lesson to all. D. I. Ronrsrsoss.

UNFULFILLED PROPHECY. 
BY DAVID CAMPBELL. 
-4 - 
Mr. Editor :—I wish to offer a few sug-
gestions to your correspondents and readers, 
leading toward the answer of the question of 
"What prophecies are to be fulfilled befbre, 
and what to be fulfilled after Jesus comes?" 
The qtieetion solves itself into a proper and 
satisfactory discrimination of prophecy in 
general, as well as in particular predictions 
and their fulfillment. 
No question can lead to better practical 
results, and should engage the attention of 
every honest hearted Christian. It is a pleas-
ure to me, to remain, at present, ignorant of' 
all those "secret things which belong to the 
Lord our God ;" while the understanding of 
those things "which are revealed," involves 
more than happiness to every humble lover 
of truth. It is the richest inheritance ever 
offered to mortals,—"to us and to our chil-
dren"—securing everlasting life to all who 
will take possession, yet how many turn 
their backs upon such untold wealth ! 
Fulfilled prophecy affords us rich instruc-
tion, and at the same time the best evidence 
of the truth and inspiration of the whole Bi-
ble. The faithful study of this portion of 
prophecy merely, would have greatly aug-
mented the powers and efficiency of the 
churches, strikingly contrasted with their 
present fearful "departure from the faith once 
delivered to the saints." But the study of 
unfulfilled prophecy is needed for timely 
warning, and is no doUbt the especial mes-
sage of God to this generation, now living. 
And here returns the question, the true di-
viding line between fulfilled and unfulfilled 
prOphecy. 
I can find no safer rule or text, than the 
one already offered. "The oracles of God" 
must have a literal and precise application to 
certain events. Not like the heathen oracle, 
adapted to any plausible occurrence, suited 
to the purpose of some noted necromancer, 
to be applied after the- event takes place. 
I will not deny that the most literal of all 
the prophecies are susceptible of practical 
improvement, and may be used, as is gener-
ally the case, for lessons on individual duties, 
and the enforcement of doctrine ; but we are 
never to ignore the literal import of the lan-
guage, as applied to a specific event. To il-
lustrate the point in hand, take the single 
book of Revelation. 
John was told at the outset, that he was to 
proclaim unto the churches "things which 
must shortly come to pass." But who will 
dare say the events of the three first chapters, 
applied to the churches of Asia, did not 
"shortly come to pass," and literally so too ? 
The message was to seven literal churches, 
and there can be no doubt tl.eir fate was pre-
cisely as predicted. Still there may be no 
valid objection to the general practice of al-
lowing the character of these seven churches 
forshadowing the characteristics or different 
stages of all churches down to this day, pro-
vided always we do not say ought to invali-
date the literal historical events which befell 
those churches. 
Now let us come to the things of the fu-
ture, at least in the future of the time of 
John ; as we see at the opening of the fourth 
chapter he is told, "I will show you things 
which must be hereafter." Now are the 
things to be shown any less literal than the 
things already•shown ? My present purpose 
does not require any remarks upon the scene 
which was here opened to the spiritual per-
ception of the prophet ; but to refer to the 
scenes which open in the sixth chapter. 
If permitted, I propose to show, in a se- 
preachers who can state with precision the 
plan of redemption, and enforce it by profuse 
illustration, who yet have not skill to probe 
we expected, however, we were made aware the conscience with the word of God, or 
that not all our readers north of the Tweed bring their hearers individually firm to face 
were of the same mind as our correspondent./ with the Judge of all. 
One day last week, a venerable servant of 
Paul, before Agrippa, was the subject of 
Jesus Christ, whose calling leads him period- Mrs. Booth's discourse, and something of 
ically to various parts of the country, told 
us that he had just returned from Scotland, \ that rare isolating power which moved Fest- 
us to cry with a loud voice, "Paul, thou art 
where he had found amongst many very beside thyself, much learning hath made thee 
earnest friends of revival, a strong feeling- mad," and which made Agrippa exclaim, 
against women's preaching ; and this good 
brother brought us a message from some of 
our friends there, expressing an emphatic de-
sire that we should report no more of such 
proceedings. What could we reply, but that 
we had no choice in the matter ? According 
as grace is given us to distinguish between 
the precious and the vile, it is our duty and 
desire to record the Lord's work, and that 
alone. We have no disposition to "get up" 
or sanction any particular or unusual form 
of doctrine or of ministry ; but while the 
people of God are crying, "Wilt thou not re-
vive us again, that thy people may rejoice in 
thee ?" it behoves us to be very watchful, 
lest we reject the blessing because it comes 
(as it often does,) in an unexpected way, and 
in a fashion distasteful to our prejudice or 
pride. 
It is one thing to bow to the sovereignty 
of him who worketh all things according to 
the counsel of his own will, and another to 
establish a system in imitation of God's ex-
ceptional acts. A child like Samuel, a herd-
man like Amos, a prince of the blood like 
Daniel, or a woman like Deborah, may be 
chosen of him, who giveth not account of any 
of his matters, to declare his messages to 
men ; but we are not therefore to conclude 
that children, or herdrnen, or princes, or 
women, are more than others specially adapt-
ed to such service. God has used, and is 
now using, colliers and lords, children and 
women, to preach the gospel to various 
classes of men, and Satan would gladly throw 
contempt upon the work of God, by inducing 
his people to pander to the craving for sensa-
tion, now so fatally prevalent, by putting 
forth persons from high life or low life, boys 
and girls, matrons and maidens, as necessari-
ly the fittest instruments for the work of the 
gospel. But while avoiding this on the one 
hand, let us wait at the posts of Wisdom's 
doors, that when she puts forth her voice, we 
may hear instruction and be wise, and refn'se 
it not, let the spokesman be whosoever the 
divine wisdom will. 
It was somewhat remarkable that, on the 
evening of the day on which we received the 
caution referred to, the seemingly accidental 
circumstance of missing a train gave-us the 
opportunity of hearing Mrs. Booth preach at 
Islington. We had never before seen this 
lady, nor had the caustic tone of her pamph-
let on Female Teaching—though it assured 
us of her ability—prepossessed us in her fa-
vor ; but it is very long since man or woman 
made in our hearing a snore searching and 
experimental, though winning, declaration of 
the truth of the gospel. And in regard to 
the secondary consideration of manner ; if 
our Northern brethren and sisters have been 
disgusted (justly or otherwise we know not,) 
by any female preaching on their side of the 
border, it would be as unreasonable and as 
unscriptural for them to denounce the minis- 
try of women on that account, as for others 
to endeavor to establish it into a system, be- 
cause on the occasion of which we write, 
there was not a gesture or a word which 
THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER. 
The perfect human character is the Chris-
tian. The regenerate man is the true man. 
The beauty and perfection of his life shines 
forth in letters of living light upon the pages 
of the Word of God. In the teachings of I 
Christ and his apostles, religion is found as 
it is and as it should be. One of the promi-
nent peculiarities of their instruction is the 
inculcation of truth, *not only in abstract 
principles, but its presentation in living 
forms. Hence we do not find divine pre-
cepts merely for the government of the new 
man, but in the faith simple and trembling, 
yet sublime in its simplicity and mighty in 
its tremblings ; in the ardent living love ; in 
the entire immolation of self; in the genu-
ine purse-felt benevolence ; in the profound 
sense of personal responsibility ; in the un-
compromising obedience and unconditional 
submission ; in the indefatigable zeal and un-
tiring industry ; in the patience and meek-
ness under violent and virulent persecution ; 
in the hope an anchor to the soul sure and 
steadfast, and in the joy unspeakable and full 
of glory of many of the first Christians are 
presented living portraits of the Christian 
character : substantial exampleS of religion 
ruling the intellect, affecting the heart and 
governing the life. Their brotherly love 
was so manifest as to compel the unbelieving 
portion to exclaim : "See how the Christians 
love one another." So stern and inflexible 
was their fidelity to truth, integrity mid hon-
or, when any one would affirm an impossi-
bility it became a proverb to say, "you 
might as well hope to move a Christian 
from his principles." 
But the Christian character is not taught 
alone by divine precepts and in the example 
of those approximating to perfection. It is 
absolutely manifested in the life of Jesus. 
He was not only the author, but the perfect 
pattern of the spiritual religion he inaugu-
rated. He demonstrated the pure lustre of 
the complete human character. He was the 
immaculate example of all the virtues of ab-
solute humanity. In him was manifested 
the blended qualities of both sexes. They 
were blended and fused into one entire and 
perfect character. He possessed in the high-
est degree the strength and intellect of man, 
and the faith and feeling of woman. He was, 
therefore, not only the living exemplifier of 
perfect manhood, but of perfect humanity. 
His whole life was employed in doing good. 
His conversations, his discourses, his deeds, 
were beneficial to the body, mind or soul of 
the hearer or recipient. In goodness, holi-
ness, humility, patience, he was absolute. 
Never man lived like he. 
In his example is found the infallible 
standard and undoubted touchstone for all 
lands and ages. For it must his followers 
conform, and they are religious only in pro-
portion as they do faithfully comply. To be 
a Christian is to be like Christ. It is to 
have the mind that was in him. It is to be 
cleansed from all sin. It is to be a new 
creature, influenced by new motives, pos-
sessed of new hopes, inspired by new joys, 
and to love God because he first loved. It

EVIDENCE OF CONVERSION. 
As far as you are benevolent toward all 
men above you, all men below you, and all 
men on a level with you—friends and ene-
mies ; as far as your desire in reference to 
universal mankind is to do them good—just 
so far you have evidence that you are a 
Christian. That is a state of mind which is 
not to be mistaken. Ydu might as well ask 
me how I know when I am warm, as to ask 
me how I know when I am benevolent. The 
feeling of benevolence can be easily distin-
guished ; and you have only to see whether 
it exists in you toward all men, to ascertain 
whether you have a Christian stale of mind 
or not. There is no state of mind that is less 
liable to be mistaken, either in its action or 
in its results. And if you want limy help in 
judging of your own case, ask those that 
know most about you. They will be sure to 
tell you the facts as they are. If a man 
thinks he has become a Christian in a rousing 
revival of religion and he is a little in doubt 
as to his evidences, and he goes to his minis-
ter for information as to how lie may know 
whether he is a Christian or not, his minis-
ter, if he is faithful, will say to him, "My 
friend, the evidence that you are a Christian, 
is that you are like Christ.". Christ was one 
who went about doing good. His life was a 
life of true benevolence. And if you are 
born into Christ you must have the spirit of 
Christ. If a man have not the spirit of Christ, 
he rs none of his. And if you want to know 
whether you have the spirit of Christ or riot, 
you can tell by giving heed to a few simple 
"Almost thou persuadest me to be a Chris-
tian," surely accompanied that weak woman's 
words on Tuesday night, and raised the ques-
tion in many hearts, "Lord, is it I ?" To 
some, doubtless, the Spirit said, as with an 
angel's voice, to others as in thunder, "Thou 
art the man ;" and more than one went away 
like the woman who left her waterpot by the 
well to say to friends and neighbors, "Come, 
see a Man that told me all things that ever I 
did ; is not this the Christ ?" 
The mind even of Christians in these 
hasteful days, is intellectual more than spir-
itual ; we think, but have little inclination. to 
reflect ; we perceive, but are not accustomed 
to consider. The epistles of Paul for doc-
trine, the parables and miracles of the Gos-
pels and Acts for illustration, with occasional 
reference to the types of Exodus and Leviti-
cus, and the evangelical prophecies of Isaiah, 
may be said, for the most part. to comprise 
the curriculum considered necessary to an 
evangelist. Preachers often seem to pre-
suppose that all that men require is a definite 
and forcible statement of their own danger 
and of God's salvation—that if you convince 
the understanding, you convert the heart ; 
and thus there lack the sense of absolute de-
pendence on the Spirit's operation, and dili-
gent and prayerful meditation in the whole 
Word of' God. 
The use to us of' Moses and the Prophets, 
and the Psalms is not solely, nor even chiefly, 
to instruct us as to the past history and fu-
ture destinies of the Jewish nation. Beneath 
that shell, within that casket, is a kernel of 
truth, a treasure of instruction. There all 
the motives and actions of man's restless, 
stubborn, and deceitful heart are dramatical-
ly displayed in exercise. There we learn 
God's excellent attributes of love and wis-
dom, justice and power, righteousness and 
forbearance, in manifestation both to Gen-
tiles afar off, and to Jews brought nigh. The 
interest to us of outward Israel's past or fu-
ture is small, in comparison with the knowl-
edge which their lively oracles afford of the 
ways and character of God, and the power 
thus put into our bands in'dealing with the 
consciences of men. 
'rake those neglected "minor prophets," as 
they are called. How vividly are the visions 
of Zechariah, for example, calculated to im-
press the heart with the fact of God's all-
surrounding and all-pervading providence. 
What a commentary upon Moues' warning, 
"Be sure your sin will find you out," does 
Amos give to the sinner in those searching 
words, "Though they dig into hell, thence 
shall my hand take them ; though they climb 
up to heaven, thence will I bring them 
down ; and though they hide themselves in 
the top of Carmel, I will search and take 
them out thence ; and though they be hid 
from my sight in the bottom of the sea, 
thence will I command the serpent, and he 
shall bite them ; and though they go into 
captivity before their enemies, thence will I 
command the sword, and it shall slay them ; 
and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, 
The following extract from Dr. Gill upon 
the separate state of the soul is valuable : 
"I proceed to take notice of what is urged 
in favor of the insensibility of souls upon 
their departure. 
All such passages of Scripture are urged 
which speak of persons sleeping when they 
die; as of sleeping with their fathers, and of 
sleeping in the dust of the earth, phrases fre-
quently to be met with in the Old Testa-
ment.; and of Christ being the first fruits of 
those that sleep ; and of sleeping in Jesus ; 
and of some not sleeping, which are used in 
the New Testament, but- 
By sleep in all these passages death 
itself is meant. It was a way of speaking 
much used in the Eastern countries, and is 
expressive of the death of the body, and of 
that only ; so, to sleep with the fathers, is to 
die as they did, and to be buried with them ; 
and to sleep in the dust, is, being dead, to be 
laid in the grave, to be interred in the dust 
of the earth ; and to sleep in Jesus, is to die 
in the Lord. When Christ said, our friend 
Lazarus sleepeth, he meant that he was 
dead ; and when the Apostle Paul says, we 
shall not all sleep, he-designs nothing else 
but that we shall not all (lie ; for those who 
are alive at Christ's coming will be changed ; 
the reason why death is expressed by sleep 
is because sleep is the image of death, it locks 
up the senses, gives rest to the weary body, 
is but for a time, and then it awakes again. 
Death being designed by those ex-
pressions, if they prove anything in this con-
troversy they prove too much ; for if they 
prove that the soul sleeps with the body, 
they would prove that the soul dies with it, 
since by sleep is meant no other than death. 
No mention is made of the soul in 
any one of these passages ; it is not said of 
either that it sleeps or dies ; the passages 
only respect the body ; it is that only which 
at death is gathered to the fathers, and bur-
ied in the graves of ancestors ; and which 
sleeps in the dust, or is buried in the dust of 
the earth ; the sleep of which stands oppo-
site to the change that will pass on the bod-
ies of living saints at the coining of Christ. 
Sleep is only of the body, and is a 
passion that belongs to the sensitive part, a 
kind of a band and immovableness of it, so 
that it cannot operate ; it only belongs to 
animals that have a brain, or something 
analagous to it ; it is defined "a cessation of 
the external senses from operation, the vap-
ors filling the nerves and the sensory passa-
ges, and so hinder the influx of the animal 
spirits." But what is all this to the soul, an 
immaterial and incorporeal substance, which 
has no brain, nor nerves, nor sensory pas-
sages, nor animal spirits ? and therefore

dition, be replied, I am not a member of the 
Church, and the thought of dying out of it is 
too intolerable—I can not do it.' I proposed to

ing to his request, was carried to the Church 
and placed on the altar, and there, without 
power to raise his hand or speak, he was rt-

on the congregation was beyond description. 
The singing stopped, and tears gushed from 
every eye, while sobbings filled the house. 
Strange to say that brother still lives, al-
though six months have passed, without hav-
ing been perceptibly better one hour of that

window near by where he lies, and looked at 
him, some to drop a tear, others with solemn 
silence, while others have reached their hand 
and spoken to .him words of comfort."

next Sunday." The trimming courtiers N'ere 
all anxious to know the consequence of this, 
mid the chapel was crowded. The venerable 
man took his text, and, after a pause, begun 
with a soliloquy, thus :—"Now, Hugh Lati-
mer, bethink thee, thou art in the presence 
of the earthly monarch ; thy life is in his 
hands, and if thou dost not suit thyself to his 
fancies, he will bring down thy gray hairs 
with blood to the grave ; but Hugh Lati-
imer, bethink thee—thou art in the presence 
of the King of kings and Lord of lords, who 
hath told thee, 'Fear not them that kill the 
body, and then can do no more; but rather 
him who can kill both body and soul—and 
cast thee into hell forever. Yea, P say, 
Hugh Latimer, fear him.' He then went 
on, asd not only repeated what he had be-
fore advanced, hut, if possible, enforced it 
with greater emphasis. What was the con-
sequence? Henry sent for him, and said, 
"How durst thou insult thy monarch so ?" 
Latimer replied, "I thought if I were un-
faithfiil to my earthly king, how could I 
serve the King of kings ?" The king em-
braced the good old bishop, exclaiming, "And 
is there yet one man left who is bold and 
honest enough to tell me the truth ?" 
Christ's ambassadors. You who are strong, 
full of faith and courage, cotne. You who are 
weak, timid and faint-hearted, come. Lay 
aside your business and the world for a week, 
arid go to Waterbury, and pay your vows to 
the Most High God. Such a meeting you 
need at least once a year, if it may not be 
once in your life time, to break the spell of 
worldliness, to call your minds from earthly 
vanities to heaVrily verities, and cause-y-6'u 
to realize that you are an heir of' glory, and 
a joint heir with Jesus to a coming kingdom 
which cannot be moved. A new era is dawn-
ing upon us. The divine Providence is call-
ing us to occupy higher, broader ground. Je-
hovah is speaking to us as never before, "Let 
your light shine." "Many shall run to and 
fro, and knowledge shall be increased." 
"Fly, fly, on wings of morning, 
Ye who tiffftruth can tell, 
And sound the awful warning, 
To rescue souls from bell." 
Shall we slumber while others are awake? 
Shall we allow worldly men to outdo us in 
interest and labor ? Shall we commit the 
fatal blunder of supposing that others can do 
our duty? Let it never be so. Let the les-
sons of divine Providence, the demands of 
duty, and the love we bear to Christ's cause, 
arouse us from our stupor and weakness, and 
gathering new energy from our victorious 
Head, rally to the standard of Immanuel, 
and assist in holding up the banner of' the 
cross, until in glorious triumph it shall be 
planted on the heights of Zion, amid the hal-

coming events, and, as one after the other of 
its seals are opened, those events transpire. 
But who is competent to open them, and con-
duct the great drama which is to transpire? 
The grief of the seer was extreme because 
no one in heaven above, or on the earth, or 
beneath the earth, was found competent to 
open the book, or to look on it. 5th verse. 
"And one of the elders said to me, Weep 
not ; behold the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, 
the Root of' David, bath been victorious: 
He will open the book, and its seven seals." 
"The Lion of the Tribe of Judah," DO doubt, 
is spoken in reference to the blessing pro-
nounced by the dying Jacob, Gen. 4:9: 9. 
"Judah is a lion's whelp; from the prey, my 
son, thou art gone up: lie stooped down, he 
couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who 
shall rouse him up ?" Christ, Rev. 22d chap-
ter, declares concerning himself, "I am the 
ROOT and the OFFSPRING OF DAVID." 
"Hath been vicronsous." He had over-
come all temptations, and had conquered 
death itself in his own house, and had •thus 
proved himself competent to open the seals 
of the little book. 
"And I looked, and in the midst of the 
Elders stood a Lamb, as if slain; and it had 
seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the 
seven Spirits of God that are sent into all 
the earth. And he came, and took the book 
from the right hand of him who sat on the 
throne." This symbol, a slain lamb, repre-
sents our atoning Sacrifice, who is also our 
Mediator, who is the universal overseer and 
dispenser of' providence. 
Verse 8th. "And when he took the book, 
the four animals and the twenty and four 
elders fell down before the Lamb, each of 
them having a harp, and cups of gold full of 
odors, which are the supplications of the 
saints."

in 
A brother in New York city suggests the 
propriety of a concert of action all through 
our ranks, in every church, on some given 
Sabbath, to raise a subscription for THE 
FREEDMEN'S MissioN, and the building of a 
school-house, parsonage and clitIrch. We 
know that the cause is a cherished one among 
our people, and will meet a hearty response. 
This should be done before our Conference, 
and duly reported, that the Committee may 
arrange for an-enlargement of the work. 
We propose, then, that this effort be made 
on the first Sabbath in October, at such finite

The better way is to circulate slips of pa-
per through the congregation, that those who 
have not the money may set down what they 
will do, payable at their earliest convenience. 
And then the box may be sent around and 
take up the loose change. 
Will not all our ministers take hold of the 
work and prosecute it with vigor? 
We should have at least five or six thou-
sand dollars at once, to set our Mission in

HE THAT CONVERTETH A SINNER. 
nineteenth century. Looking back some 
forty-five years, we find that the leading 
Protestant churches were beginning to reap 
the first benefits from the missionary socie-
ties which, from the beginning of the present 
century, the churches vied with each other 
in establishing. Intelligent and zealous Ro-
man Catholics looked with amazement at the 
grand incomes which the able management 
of the Protestant missionat, societies real-
ized. They clearly saw that the unorganized 
appeals of their bishops and priests would 
never achieve similar results. Mortifying as 
it must have been to their church pride, they 
determined to found a similar Catholic socie-
ty, and that one the Roman Catholic Society 
for the Propagation of the Faith, which has 
-its' centre in Lyons, France, and has, since 
its origin, been largely under the administra-
tion of laymen. Never before, we believe, 
in the history of the ,Roman Catholic Church, 
had such powers been placed in lay hands. 
The experiment was, in compar:son with 
what had formerly been done for missionary 
work in the Roman Catholic Church, a 
great success, though the managers never suc-
ceeded in calling forth frotn the Catholic peo-
ple such an outburst of missionary zeal as 
most of the Protestant churches have, with-
out slackening, exhibited. The incessant 
coMplaints of the Catholic papers as to the 
comparative smallness of the missionary ewi. 
tributions in the Catholic Church are suf-
ficient proof of our assertion. 
Some years later, another still more im-
portant organization of laymen, called the 
St. Vincent Association, was established. 
Support and education of the poor and needy 
was the chief aim, an aim not new in the 
Church of Rome, but one for which the laity 
had never been organized as they were in the 
St. Vincent organization, which had its reg-
ular "provincial" and "general conferences." 
The organization is now extended over the 
entire Catholic world, and instilling into the 
conclave of the Church the conviction that 
she can use to her great advantage the organ-
ized co-operation of the lifity. 
The year 1848, in which most of' the na-
tions of Europe made that noble and immor-
tal struggle for establishing political liberty 
and the untrammelled freedom of the Church, 
established the first Catholic Church Con-
gress, a more comprehensive attempt for the 
organization of the entire lay force and its 
employment for the designs of the Church 
than any made before. The speech made by 
Count Montalembert at the Catholic Con-
gress of Belgium, in 1863, is one donspicuous 
proof among Many, of the great influence 
which the spirit of the nineteenth century 
has exercised upon these new organizations. 
We fully comprehend the perplexing uncer-
tainty in which the Pope and the bishops find 
themselves with regard to these novel associ-
ations. They read the signs of the times 
well enough to see that the mission of their, 
as well as any other church, requires the 
combined efforts of' all their children; while 
at the same time, they cannot be blind to the 
fact that the greater influence of the lay ele-
ment is something so essentially Protestant, 
as to make its admission into their own com-
munion a hazardous experiment. 
There is a great deal in the history of the 
laymovements in the Roman Catholic Church 
that deserves attention, and ought to be 
studied by Protestants of all denominations.

LOSSES BY RELIGION. 
Dr Chalmers began life with ambitious 
hopes. At first a dull scholar, his intellect 
afterward richly developed itself, and mathe-
matics became his favorite study. After his 
admission to the ministry, and during his 
settlement at Kilmany, he became a profes-
sor of that branch in the University of St. 
Andrews. He was then an unconverted 
man, and as -such he could easily be plural-
ist. He felt that "after the satisfactory dis-
charge of his parish duties, a minister may 
enjoy five days in the week of uninterrupted 
leisure for the prosecution of any science in 
which his steps may dispose him to engage." 
After the mighty revolution that was 
wrought in his soul by saving grace, all this 
was changed. His nearest neighbor, with 
whom he was very intimate, once said to 
him, "I find you are busy with one thing and 
another, but come when I may, I never find 
you at your studies for the. Sabbath." "0, 
an hour or two oft Saturday evening is quite 
enough for that," was his prompt reply. 
Afterward all was changed, and the same 
neighbors observing it, said, "I never come 
in hOW, sir, but I find you are at your Bi-
ble." "All too little, John, all too little !" 
was the significant reply. Speaking of the 
preaching that was the result of' this fidelity 
in the closet and study, one of his hearers 
said, "He would bend over the pulpit and 
press us to take the gift as if he held it that 
moment in his hand, and would not be sat-
isfied till every one of us had got possession 
of it. And often, when the sermon was over 
and the psalm was suug, and he rose to pro-
nounce the blessing, he would break out 
afresh with some new entreaty, unwilling to 
let us go till he had -made one more effort to 
persuade us to accept it." 
In a letter to his mother, he writes : "You 
may tell my father that I have at length 
come to his opinion that the peculiar business 
of the profession demands all the time, all 
the talents, and all the energy that any min-
ister is possessed of." In retracting before 
the General Assembly the publication from 
which the first extract was taken, he says, 
"I now confess myself to have been guilty of 
a heinous crime and now stand 0. repentant 
culprit before the bar of this venerable As-
sembly." Alluding to his early. ambition, 
he continues : "Strangely blinded that I 
was ! What, sir, is the object of mathemati-
cal science? But then, sir, I had forgotten 
two magnitudes. I thought not of the little-
ness of time, I recklessly thought not of the 
greatness of eternity !" 
Pursuant to this change, the unbounded 
interest that afterward attended his minis- 
try broke out. Nobles sat at his feet, rapt 
thousands hung upon his lips. Reformations 
appeared, arid the conversion of a soul was 
more to him than the applauses of a world. 
He did not become a recluse and devote 
himself to the studies that might by many be 
supposed indispensable to maintaining his 
popularity at the expense cf eternity. He 
became a pastor. The one he did, the other 
was not left undone. Through lanes and 
alleys, in garrets and cellars, fearless of odors 
or infection, he hunted the lost sheep. This 
he did through years of his ministry at Ku-
manly, at Glasgow, at Tron, at St. John's, 
and at St. Andrew's. Sabbath schools, and 
Bible classes, and mission Churches multi-
plied upon his hands, till the edifices Ile had 
caused to be erected could be counted by 
hundreds. 
The elders and animals are all the sym-
bolical representatives of the redeemed, and 
present their sufferages as well as perform 
their worship on the occasion, as the elders 
of Israel did when Moses was sent to medi-
ate the old covenant. Ex. 19: 5-8. "Now, 
therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, 
and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a 
peculiar treasure unto me above all people; 
for ell the earth is mine. And ye shall be 
unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy na-
tion. These are the words which thou shalt 
speak unto the children of Israel. And Mo-
ses came and called for the elders of the peo-
ple, and laid before their faces all these 
words which the Lord commanded him. 
And all the people answered together, and 
said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will 
do. And Moses returned the words of the 
people unto the Lord." The covenant was 
with the people, but the elders were called 
to counsel, as the representatives of the 
whole people; and their answer is called the 
answer of all the people. So here, the words 
of the elders and the living creatures are in 
behalf of the redeemed. 
Verses 9,10. "And they sung a new an-
them, saying: Competent art thou, to take 
the book, and to open the seals thereof; be-
cause thou west slain, and hest redeemed us 
to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and 
tongue, and people, and nation ; and thou 
hast made them kings -and priests to our 
God ; and they reign on the earth." Thus 
the saints give their voice as to the compe-
tence of the Lamb for his work. 
Next conies the angelic host to present their 
sufferage or vote together with the representa-
tives of the redeemed. Verses 11-13. "And 
I looked, and I heard, as it were the voice 
of many angels, around the throne, and the 
animals and the Elders; and the number of 
them was a myriad of myriads, and thousand 
of thousands, who said, with a loud voice ;. 
Competent is the Lamb that was slain, to 
receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and 
strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing; 
and [to be over] eery created thing, that is 
in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, 
or in the sea." Thus the intelligences of 
heaven and earth all unite in one accord to 
elect the Lamb to be over the universe, with 
him WHO SITTETH UPON THE THRONE. 
This solemn election having been conclud-
ed, arid the Lamb having received the uni-
versal sufferage of saints and angels to be 
COMPETENT to be over every creature in 
heaven, and earth, and under the earth, and 
in the sea, and all that is in them—he that 
sitteth upon the throne, God the Father, 
proceeds to— 
MAKE THE INVESTITURE. 
It is the great work of God's people to 
convert sinners. It was for this Jesus Christ 
came into the world. The righteous needed 
no Saviour, sinners did. For this cause 
Christ said, "I catne not to call the righteous, 
but sinners to repentance." The Son of man 
is come to seek and to save that which was 
lost. How dreadful the condition of the un-
converted as described by the Saviour. "He 
that believeth on the Son of God, hath ever-
lasting life. He that believeth not the Son, 
shall not . see life, but the wrath of God 
abideth on him." Is this the condition of the 
unbeliever? Abideth.f 
0 when will it cease. 
Christian, your friend, your brother, your 
parent, your neighbor, is an unbeliever, and 
the wrath of God abideth on him. Can you 
convert him from the error of his way, and 
save a soul from death? And will you neg-
lect. any means to accomplish thus end? 
What a crown! what a reward for such a 
work when tints Lord makes up his jewels. 
If the church, the ministry, the religious 
press fail of this work, saving souls front 
death, they miss the great end of their mis-
sion. That Christian who fails to lay him-
self out for this as the great object of life, 
has either forgotten or failed to apprehend 
his calling. It is the business of the minis-
ter to preach. But he is to frame each ser-
mon with the direct view of bringing sinners 
to repentance. If he fails to convert sinners 
to Christ, he misses the end of gospel preach-
ing. 
"How can ye escape the damnation of 
hell ?" cried John the Baptist to his impeni-
tent hearers. "Who hath warned you to flee 
from the wrath to come ?" he asked again. 
His heart was full of tender concern for those 
whom he saw in danger, and he did riot so 
much fear the hurting their tender feelings, 
as he did their experiencing the damnation

Near London there dwelt an old couple. 
In early life they had been poor; but the 
husband became a Christian, and God blessed 
the;r industry, and they were living in a 
comfortable retirement, when one day a 
stranger called on them to ask their subscrip-
tion to a charity. The old lady had less re-
ligion than her husband, and still hankered 
after the Sabbath earnings and easy shillings 
which Thomas had forfeited from regard to 
the law of God ! So, when the visitor asked 
their contributions, she interposed and said: 
"Why, sir- we have lost a deal by religion 
since we first began; my .husband knows_ 
that very well. Have we not, Thomas?" 
After a solemn pause, Thomas answered, 
"Yes, Mary, we have. Before I got religion, 
Mary, I had an old slouched hat, a tattered 
coat and mended shoes and stockings; but I 
have lost them long ago. And, Mary, you 
know that, poor )its I was, I had a habit of 
getting drunk and quarreling with you ; and 
that you know I have lost. And then, I had 
a hardened conscience and wicked heart, and 
ten thousand guilty fears ; but all are lost, 
completely lost, and like a. millstone cast into 
the deepest sea. And, Mary, you have been 
a loser, too, though net so great a loser as 
myself. Before we ,got religion, Mary, you 
had a washing tray, in which you washed for 
hire ; but, since- then you have lost . your 
washing tray. And you had a gown and 
bonnet much the worse for wear; but you. 
have lost them long ego.. And you had many 
an aching heart concerning me at times; but 
these you happily have lost. And I could 
even wish that you had lost as much as I 
have lost ; for what we lose for religion will 
be an everlasting gain."

posed him was his equal in scholarship? 
No. Martin Luther was consecrated to God 
and the work of reformation. This was his 
strength. 
It should not be forgotten that consecra-
tion does not make a man really holy; it 
only declares him sacred; set apart for di-
vine service, to be used as God in his wis-
dom may direct. The great work of sancti-
fication, or the purifying of the nature is 
wholly an internal work of the Holy Spirit, 
by means. of the precious blood of Christ. 
Both these doctrines are clearly taught in 
the Scriptures, not only by precept, but by 
the experience and example of many persons 
whose lives are recorded. Paul was a con-
secrated man, as We may learn from the fol-
lowing passages in his writings. 1. Cons 11 : 
2; "For I am determined not to know any-
thing among you save Jesus Christ and him 
crucified. Paul was not absolutely a one-
idea man, yet all other ideas were lost in 
this one great thought, "Jesus Christ and 
him crucified." Phil. 3: 8; "Yea, doubt-
less, and I count all things but loss, for the 
excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus 
my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss 
of all things, and do count them but dung, 
so that I may win Christ." 2. Tim. 1 : 12 ; 
_"For I know whom I have believed, and am 
'perstmded that he is able to keep that which 
I have committed unto him against that 
day." All that Paul had was given to 
Christ. Peter said: "Lord, m e have for-
saken all and followed thee." Indeed all 
the apostles were entirely consecrated to 
God, and so were many of the primitive 
Christians. 0, those were men of power, 
power with God, power in God. The life 
they lived was by faith in the Son of God. 
To them Christ was all and in all. If they 
lived it was for Christ, and if they died it 
was for Christ's cause. 'They were not vac-
illating as most of men are; they had a pur-
pose fixed in their mind in which threw their 
whole soul, body and spirit, and before them 
fell the altars of idols and the temples of 
devils. • . 
A minister that is not wholly consecrated 
to God and his service cannot do the work 
assigned him, no matter what his apparent 
zeal may be; he is a weak man, and easily 
turned aside from his duties. But when he 
is all given up to God, and has the inward 
assurance that he is accepted, he can go for-
ward; nor does he stop for sacrifices. No 
duty seems too hard. He is like Mount Zi-
on which cannot be moved. And what is 
remarkable in the life of a consecrated man 
is, he cannot be conquered s so long as he 
holds to his consecration. He may be crushed 
but not conquered. Jesus was crucified but 
not conquered. Paul was beheaded but not 
conquered. John was banished but not con-
quered. And so of every other consecrated 
man; they cannot be conquered.. It would 
be no less difficult to conquer all heaven, 
than a man wholly devoted to God. He is 
bound to God in covenant engagement, and 
unless he breaks the contract he will stand 
in seitesof.wieked men and devils combined. 
In a certain community noted for infidel-
ity, there lived a pious man of God. Unas-
suming, unpretending, he went about doing 
good. As a preacher, he was not noted for 
anything special, only his entire devotedness 
to 'God. There came into that vicinity a 
noted Infidel, challenging any man to meet 
him in discussion on the subject of revealed 
religion. All the ministers near were wait-
ed upon and asked to meet this champion in 
debate, but they refused. At length this old 
man of God said he would meet him ; but 
.hiS friends used every means to dissuade 
him, telling him n it was no use, he would be 
beaten, and the cause would suffer. But the 
old man of God • would go, and he did jo. 
,They met in the presence of a large audi- 
ence, and the Infidel opened the'discussion 
with a flaming speech. All his friends were 
elated, supposing that the old man would 
have no argument to meet him. The pro- 
fessed friends of Christ were trembling with 
fears'. -The old man was calm. When the 
Infidel Sat down, the old minister arose in 
his place, with a countenance as calm as a 
summer's eve. He commenced by -simply 
relating his Christian experience. He told 
bow wicked he had been, and how grace 
found him, and as he talked his old heart 
grew young and warm. Still he went on 
talking, many hearts were touched, and the 
Infidel became restless; he could not see 
where to take hold of the old man's talk. 
He felt a certain kind of force about it, but 
could not see how to meet it ; still the talk 
went on. Presently the Infidel started for 
the door, and, meeting one of his friends near 
the door, he asked the champion what he 
meant. "Well," said he, "I will tell you 
what it is. I am not afraid to meet any man 
in the World, but this thing of meeting God 
in a man, I do not understand that." He 
left, while the old man went on, until many 
hearts were subdued, and in a short time 
many were brought to Christ. 
Ah, my brethren, it is God in us that 
gives us power and strength, and this we 
will have if we are wholly consecrated to 
For some years rumors have been afloat,

The decree of the Father, as given us 
the second Psalm, concerning his Son, only-
begotten and well-beloved, has long consti-
tuted the hope and rejoicing of the saints of 
God. 
"Yet have I set my King on my holy hill 
of Zion. I will declare the decree. The 
Lord said unto me, Thou art my Son; this 
day have I begotten thee. Ask of me and 
I shall give thee the heathen (nations) for 
thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of 
the earth for thy possession." Ps. 2 : 7-9. 
Such is the glorious promise ; but when will 
be the investiture, and where ? 
It was given the beloved disciple to see 
much which to others it was not given. It 
was to him Jesus Christ, through this angel, 
sent and signified the revelation which God 
gave unto him, to show unto his Servants 
things which must shortly come to pass. In 
this revelation there are many things which 
have been, and still are, regarded as obscure. 
But, obscure though they be, it is certain 
they are God's revelation to the churches, 
and that in that revelation Jesus Christ is. 
presented to us as the faithful and true wit-
ness, and also as "the Prince of the kings of 
the earth." He is the exalted one who is to 
put down all rule, and authority, and all 
power; with the single exception of him who 
did put all things. under him._ The Father 
has never so exalted the Son as to make 
himself „subject, or the Son above him. 
THE .INVESTITURE. 
The fourth and fifth chapters of Revela-
tion give the exhibition of the investiture. 
The text on which the sketch is founded is 
Murdock's Translation of the Syriac Version) 
of' the New Testament. We prefer this 
translation on account of its simplicity of 
language, and the force with which it brings 
out the sublime and majestic scenes. 
In the opening of the fourth chapter we 
have the vision, the call, and the trance of 
John. "After these things, I looked and lo, 
a door [was] open in heaven. And the first 
voice which I heard, was As of a trumpet 
talking with me. It said, Come up hither; 
and I will show thee the things that must 
occur hereafter. Instantly I was in the Spir-
it." The scene was laid in heaven, whither 
he in spirit was taken. The throne of God, 
and him that sat on the throne, with his glo-
rious hosts and all the attendant splendor 
are next described. It is the glory of 
heaven itself on its most august occasion. 
"And lo, a throne was placed in heaven; 
and there was [one] seated on the throne. 
And he who sat was like the appearance of 
a jasper-stone, and of a sardine, .and of' a 
rainbow of the clouds, round about the 
throne, in form as the appearance of emer-
alds. Around the throne were twenty and 
four seats; and upon those seats sat twenty 
and four Elders, who were clothed in white 
robes, and on whose heads were coronets of 
gold. And from the throne proceeded light-
nings, and the sound of thunders ; and seven 
lamps of fire were burning before his throne, 
which are the seven Spirits of God. And 
before the throne, as it were a sea of glass 
like crystal ; and in the midst of the throne, 
and around it, and before the throne, were 
four .animals, full of eyes in their front and 
in their rear." The four and twenty elders 
arrayed around the thrOne are the associate 
judges, or a jury, acting on the memorable 
occasion. They have associated with them 
four animals (or living creatures), who to-
gether worship, adore, and exalt, him that 
sitteth on the throne. This high court, so 
constituted, by acclamation decided and de-
clared, "Worthy art thou, 0 Lord our God, 
the Holy, to receive glory, and honor, and 
power ; for thou bast created all things, and 
by thee they exist ; .and because of thy 
pleasure they had . being and were created." 
In all this scene the Father alone, who sit-
teth on the throne, appears as the object of 
adoration, and worthy of possessing and ex-
ercising power, and glory, and honor. Christ 
does not yet appear on the stage. The 
Father and his glorious supremacy are cele-
brated by the as,sociate. judges. 
But in the "opening of the fifth chapter 
the scene changes. "And I saw, at the right 
band of him who sat on the throne, a book, 
which was written within and on the back 
side, and which was sealed with seven seals. 
And I saw a strong angel, who proclaimed 
with a loud voice, Who is competent to open 
The book, and to loose the seals thereof? 
And no one either in heaven above, or on 
the earth, or beneath the earth, was able to 
open the book, or to look thereon. And I 
wept much, because no one was found, who 
was competent to open the book, or to look 
--•••-•••-.0.- 
We are in a dark world, and as we ap-
proach daylight, the darkness increases. God 
has in mercy lighted up a lamp to pilot the 
tempest-tossed mariner to the haven of rest. 
He set his Church here as a city On a hill, 
and gave her a charge, Saying, "Let your 
light so shine." Good works, a holy life, a 
Walk in the Saviour's footsteps, all give light. 
Let it shine then. But the word of prophecy, 
more sure, is a light shining in a dark place. 
Ye do well that ye take heed to it, as such. 
Let it shine, by preaching, reading, teaching 
it to all within reach, and some will be en-
lightened. Let scriptural and experimental 
tracts go out over the earth, giving light 
everywhere. Those little fearless messengers 
sent forth in faith, fbllowed by much prayer, 
will find many a dark cornier of this dark 
world, where God's Church, his Bible, his 
ministers will scarcely find an entrance or a 
welcome. There in solitude it will emit its 
ABLE TO SAVE TO THE UTTERMOST.—A 
very interesting state of religious interest is 
now exibiting at East Pearl-Street Methodist 
Episcopal Church, Cincinnati. There have 
been thirty accessions during the year, sev-
eral of which have come in within the last two 
or three weeks. "A very peculiar provi-
dence," says the pastor, "is found in the his-
tory of one of the accessions. In my pasto-
ral visitation I found a sick man, whom it 
was supposed could not live twenty-four on it." This little book is the programme of 
"And I heard him who sat on the throne 
say: UNTO THE LAMB BE GIVEN BLESSING, 
AND HONOR, AND GLORY, AND POWER, FOR-
EVER AND EVER." "And the four animals 
said : Amen. And the elders fell down and 
adored." 
It will be noticed that the Syriac differs 
much from the Greek in these last verses. 
But evidently it is the more intelligible of 
the readings. The Greek, of which the com-
mon English is a fair representative, does 
not give any clear and intelligible idea. That 
it does not teach what the Universalists at-
tempt to deduce from it, viz., that the time 
will conic when sin and misery will be ban-
ished from the universe, is obvious. For 
the scene is laid at the time the Lamb takes 
the sealed book from the band of him that 
sitteth on the throne. It precedes the open-
ing of any one of the seals. But, under the 
opening of those seven 'seals, there are wit-
pessed the most terrific scenes of woe and 
wretchedness. On the opening of the first 
seal, one went forth, "conquering and to con-
quer." Who is lie to conquer if there is no 
enemy? Under the second seal, power was 
given the rider to take peace from the earth. 
Under the fourth seal Death goes forth fol-
lowed by hell, to kill with various agencies 
over the fourth part of the earth. Under 
the fifth seal, the souls of the martyrs are 
told they must rest yet a little season, till 
their brethren, who shall be killed as they 
were shall be fulfilled. Under the sixth seal, 
the scenes of Christ's comingond .the con- 
sternation of sinners, is graphically described. 
Under the seventh seal, there was silence in 
heaven about the space of half an hour. 
And, if asked, what then does the passage 
mean if not that there will be a clean uni-
verse when the Lamb takes the book to open 
the seals? we submit the foregoing illustra- 
TO ALL WHO LOVE 
EEOUR COMING 
ED 
_Thiloi,,edin Christ :—No lingering Arought 
that twenty-five years would pass before the 
longed for rest should come, disturbed the 
peaceful, joyous hope of those who assembled 
in Conference in Boston, a quarter of a cen-
tury ago, to compare their views on the great 
questions of the future, and to devise means 
for the spread of the glad tidings of the com-
ing kingdom. But the stern verities of those 
tardy and disastrous years assure us that 
we have well night completed a quarter of a 
century since that memorable meeting, and 
yet our hope is deferred, and redemption has 
not yet come. Standing and beholding as we 
are, the rapid flight of these lingering years, 
we realize that both privilege and duty alike 
demand that kve should again assemble to 
recount the wondrous goodness of our God 
to us in the past ; seek to understand and ap-
preciate our present relations and duties, and 
thus be prepared for the impending certain-
ties of the day of the Lord. Many and 
great have been the changes, which have af-
fected our ranks. Death has made its in-
roads. Among the fallen heroes who have 
died in the faith, we recall Barry, Fitch, Mil-
ler, Kent, Southard, and Bliss. Sonic have 
departed from the faith, and am) now seeking 
to destroy that which once they built up. 
Some have so changed or modified their 
views, as to make it very difficult to deter-
mine what they do believe, or to understand 
the justice or propriety of recognizing them 
among thos looking for the pre-millennial 
advent of the Messiah. Others have turned 
to hobby riding and vain jangling, and are 
making the gospel of the kingdom subordin-
ate to their dogmas and theories. 
The amount of injury done to the cause of 
tine coming Saviour during the past twenty-
five years, by ignorant, injudicious, and de-
signing men, the infinitely wise God alone 
knows. But amid all the changes, aposta-
cies, defections and perversions which have 
saddened our hearts, and depleted our ranks, 
there are yet not a few, who like the mariner, 
away from home, on the angry sea, have 
kept their eye constantly on the faithful 
chart, and have consequently been graciously 
kept on their way, without shipwreck, and 
are waiting with increased interest, to hear 
the voice of their -Captain say, "The voyage 
is ended, the danger is past, the work is done, 
enter into rest." 
The Conference to convene at -Waterbury, 
according to appointment, in October proxi-
mo, has as its acknowledged and known 
faith, the declaration of principles which 
have been repeatedly re-affirmed as the faith 
'of Adventists throughout this and other 
lands. To this embodiment of religious sen-
timent have those comprising this Conference, 
given their undeviating and hearty approval 
and support. With few or many, amid gloom 
or glory, having clouds or sunshine, they 
have held fast their profession of filth, and 
earnestly contended for the faith once deliv-
ered to the saints. They have allowed no 
side or counter issues to call their minds from 
the great and absorbing question of the king-
dom of' God at hand, and a readiness fbr it. 
Their motto has ever been, "Prove all things, 
hold fast that which is good." They have 
no occasion to be ashamed of their record or 
their faith. 
And now, brethren beloved, in reviewing 
the past of our history as a people, do we not 
see abundant occasion for gratitude, encour-
agement, and abounding labor in the cause 
of God ? Think of our own personal experi-
ence ; then of our families; of the churches 
among us; of the extensive and widening in-
fluence of the faith we cherish. Think of 
the opening fields inviting our labor ; of the 
additions to our ministry the Lord of the 
harvest is granting us ; the gracious outpour-
ings of the Spirit enjoyed by our people in 
the different parts of our country ; the 
aroused energies of our people in view of the 
times and their demands; think of our Sab-
bath school cause and our missionary work ; 
think of our publishing interests, brought 
from a condition of bankruptcy, to a solvent, 
prosperous state free from debt, and prepared 
to accomplish more in this glorious cause 
than for many. years in the past. Truly, God 
has been good to us. It is eminently befit-
ting, therefore, in view of these things, that 
we should come together from all parts of 
this continent, and make our Anniversary a 
jubilee of thanksgiving to our gracious God, 
for his multiplied loving kindnesses. You 
will also see by the programme, that the 
original faith of the body is to be presented 
in a series of discourses, which of course you 
will be interested to hear. Then the ques-
tions to be considered, as announced, with 
others not announced, require your presence. 
As you love this cause, and prize the inter-
ests connected with it, you must show your 
love and interest by your presence at the 
Conference, unless providentially detained. 
This is most probably the last Anniversary 
meeting of the kind we shall ever have in 
these mortal scenes. Before another quarter 
of a century rolls away, we hope to celebrate, 
with all the ransomed, the grand jubilee, in 
the city of our God. Let us then, make one 
grand, universal .rally that shall honor the 
cause of the Coming One, and send a thrill 
of joy, not only over the continent, but across 
the sea. A little time and money spent in 
attending this meeting will be a profitable 
investment for you. No minister or layman 
properly understanding the importance of 
such meetingi;s to the cause of' God, will re-
main away if they can possibly attend. 
Every Advent Church on the continent 
should have one or more delegates attending 
the Conference. 
All of you have your views of what ought 
to be done; and all have an interest in hav-
ing what is done, well done. Come then, 
with your suggestions, counsel and light, and 
let the cause have the benefit of your gift 
and knowledge. Some ministers are without 
fields of labor—come and learn of fields of 
labor where you can be useful, and be 
abundantly sustained. There are churches, 
societies and fields, now unoccupied. Come

ONE MAN LEFT TO TELL THE TRUTH.—
It is related of Latimer, that when he once 
preached before that tyrant Henry VIII, he 
took a plain, straight-forward text, and in 
his sermon assailed those very sins for which 
the monarch was notorious, and he was stung 
to the quick, for truth always finds a response 
in the worst man's conscience. He would 
not bend beneath the authority of his God, 
and he therefore sent for Latimer, and said:

From the time of his brother's death, Ed-

indeed life seemed to have little attraction for 
him. In -February last, he handed his mother

until his death, and then to open it. On 
opening this letter, it was found to be direc-
tions in relation to his funeral services-the 
selection of preacher, manager, bearers, 
hymns and place of burial. His ardent love of 
his parents was shown in the selection of the

hands, loving, tender, sympathizing souls to 
carry the good news everywhere, and teach 
the way to God. We have tracts to be 
scattered, and if you want them scattered and 
doiiig good, send for them and let them fly 
on wings of morning. Do good in all possi-
ble ways, if you love Jesus. •

Saviour the Virgin's milk are vended ; in one place 
an annual holy fair takes place for the bene-
fit of the Mother Church, at which a traffic 
in human affection is maintained-lovers 
purchasing at high prices the gifts in wear-

the pig of St. Anthony feeds all round the 
village, till the festa of the saint comes round, 
when, like the fatted calf, he is killed and 
cooked for the table of the priests. Ten 
thousand of the most heathenish and super-
stititious practices prevail in this beautiful 
land, and have a prodigious hold on the igno-
rant and superstitious, as traditions handed 
down from time immemorial.

Saviour, and that he loved her, and that she 
was ready and willing to depart. No one 
could be more free fi-om every wrong than 
she had been all her days, yet in Jesus she 
found a Saviour ever precious, and able, and 
willing not only to forgive sins, but to resur-
rect his saints, and bring them to his ever-
lasting kingdom. 
The funeral services were conducted by 
the Rev. Mr. Fleck, pastor of the Lutheran 
church of this village, who addressed the 
young most solemnly, and spake words of 
comfort to some forty families of mourning

With the poet we can truly say- 
"Sister, thou wart mild and lovely, 
Gentle as the summer breeze, 
Pleasant as the air of evening 
When it floats among the trees. 
Peaceful be thy silent slumber, 
Peaceful in the grave so low ; 
Thou no more wilt join our number, 
Thou no more our songs shalt know. 
Dearest sister, thou hast left us ; 
Here, thy loss we deeply feels 
But 'tis God that hath bereft us, 
He can all our sorrows heal. 
Yet again we hope to meet thee, 
When the day of life is fled ; 
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, 
Where no farewell tear is shed." 
Yours in sorrow, JOHN A. HEAGY.

Dear Brother Litch :-I do feel to thank 
the Lord, in whom we rive, and move, and 
have our being, that he has blessed us, in 
some way unknown to us, with the Herald, 
thus far. 0, I know the Lord will hear 
prayer and answer before its time is out, the 
first of July. I prayed the Lord to bless 
us, in some way to Pay for the Herald, if 
the doctrine it advocated was true-if the 
time was soon to come that we should, if liv-
ing and faithful, see our blessed Saviour 
coming in the clouds of heaven with ten 
thousand of his saints, with power and glory. 
My prayer has been answered. The paper 
has been sent us by an unknown friend, and 
may the Lord reward them an hundred fold. 
Sickness and adversity are our constant at-
tendants, but I will not complain. Why 
should I when our blessed Saviour has borne 
our sins, and suffered and died for us, bless-
ed be his name ? It is enough that Jesus is 
mine, and I am his. 
I should have sent my thanks to that kind 
friend before, but sickness has prevented. 
0, that some of the Advent preachers 
would come this way, and, in the strength of 
the Lord, wake up those slumbering virgins 
about here, who are preaching peace and 
safety when sudden destruction is about to 
come upon the people. 
0, may the Lord bless you in your ardu-
ous work, give you much of his Holy Spirit, 
grace, and wisdom, for Christ's sake. 
Your sister in Christ, but unworthy,

NOTICE. 
COME UP TO THE CONFERENCE. 
Who that loves the cause of Christ, will 
fail of enjoying this great festival ? There 
the faithful and tried will meet from various 
points to cheer each other on in their course 
to that better country and that city which 
bath foundations, whose builder and maker is 
God. Look on the whitening fields, and 
they are growing ripe for the reaper's sickle. 
Soon the white cloud and sharp sickle in the 
reaper's hand will be thrust in, because the 
harvest of the earth is ripe. Soon also the 
cluster of the vine will be gathered and cast 
into the great wine-press to be trodden there. 
If we have faith in the great truth that our 
Lord is soon to come and reign, let us show 
our faith by our zeal in his cause, and wils 
lingness to sacrifice for its promotion. COME

HOW AND WHAT TO READ. 
Reduced fare from Providence to Boston. 
Those attending the Conference at Water-
bury, coming through or from Providence, 
will have half fare tickets. 
Pay fill fare one way and you will have 
free tickets to return, which may be obtained 
at the Conference. 
HALF-FARE TO CONFERENCE. 
Read much, butealot many works. For 
what purpose, with what intent do we read ? 
We read not for the sake of reading, but we 
read to the end that we may think. Read-
ing is valuable only as it may supply the ma-
terials which the mind itself elaborates. As 
it is not the largest quantity of any kind of 
food taken into the stomach that conduces to 
health, but such a quantity of such a kind as 
can be digested ; so it is not the greatest 
complement of any kind of information that 
improves the mind, but such a quantity of 
such a kind as determines the intellect to the 
most vigorous energy. The only profitable 
kind of reading is that in which we are com-
pelled to think, and think intensely ; whereas, 
that reading which serves only to dissipate 
and divert our thoughts is either positively 
hurtful, or useful only as an occasional re-
laxation from severe exertion. But the 
amount of vigorous thinking is usually in the 
inverse ratio of multifarious reading. Mul-
tifarious reading is agreeable, but, as a habit, 
it is, in its way, as destructive to the mental 
as dram drinking is to the bodily health. 
"Our age," says Herder, "is the reading age ;" 
and he adds, "it would have been better, in 
my opinion, for the world and for science, if, 
instead of the multitude of books which now 
overlay us, we possessed but a few works 
good and sterling, and which, as few, would be 
be more diligeetly and profoundly studied."

THE WIRZ TRIAL. 
CAPT. WIRZ was the prison-keeper at 
Andersonville, Ga., and is being tried at 
Washington by a Military Commission, for 
cruelty to Union prisoners. 
Washington, Sept. 23. The Wirz Mili-
tary Commission re-assembled this A. M. 
Captain Wirz immediately after being 
brought into court lay down upon the sofa, 
still being too weak to sit up. 
Sergeant Gray, whose testimony toward 
the close of the proceedings yesterday caused 
the prisoner so much distress, was cross-ex-
amined to-day. In reply to a question by 
Mr. Schade, he said that he believed in pun-
ishment after death. When he arrived at 
Andersonville as a prisoner, his pocket book 
and cavalry coat were taken from him. His 
boots had been removed from his feet at the 
time of his capture. The witness gave an 
an affecting account of the sufferings of the 
prisoners. 
Capt. J. H. Wright, of the 55th Georgia 
Regiment, was recalled, and testified that in 
the absence of the post commander, Capt. 
Wirz had the command and countersigned 
furlough papers. The witness superintended 
the extension of the prison grounds, eleven 
acres having been added to them. Wirz 
made requisitions for axes, which he had no 
difficulty in supplying. Fuel could have 
been supplied if the prisoners had been al-
lowed to go out after it under guard. 
Jarvis Dyer, of the 12th United States 
colored troops, testified that Wirz proposed 
to the colored prisoners that if they took the 
oath to the South, they could choose their 
own masters, and some of the guard said 
Wirz declared he would make the white 
prisoners join the Confederates by starving 
them. Witness was for some time a servant 
at the house of Dr. White, and was sent 
thither by Wirz, for which lie received no 
pay. Wirz brought to White three thousand 
letters addressed to Union prisoners. He 
handed them to Capt. Reed's wife, who was 
staying there. She took everything out of 
the letters, such as money, needles, thread, 
pictures, &c. She laughed at the contents of 
time letters, making fun of them, and then or- 
SERIES OF DISCOURSES AT THE 25TH 
ANNUAL CONFERENCE. 
o. Litch :-Please insert the above, and, 
if it is not too lengthy, also the enclosed piece 
of poetry entitled "Gethsemane." It is one 
of many found among the collected scraps of 
my dear departed sister. Yours most truly, 
J. A. II. 
"The Christian's home in glory." 
During the past year he was frequently 
seen in the social meeting, and took part in the 
service of God. From the first of his sick-
ness, he seemed to feel that it was his last, 
and strove for a preparation to meet death. 
Ths terrible disease soon deprived him of 
reason, and baffled all the unremitting skill 
of physician and friends to save him. 
The funeral services were conducted by the 
writer, assisted by Rev. C. C. Parker, of the 
Congregational church, and Rev. D. B. Mc-
Kenzie, of the Methodist church. A large 
concourse of people met at the Congregation-
al church, and listened to a sermon from 2 
Samuel 12 : 23. Subject : The Recognition 
of God's Providential Dealings. The servi-
ces were made the more impressive and sol-
emn from the fact that we were following 
out the directions of our young friend who 
lay before us in the cold embrace of death. 
May the Lord bless the sorrowing parents, 
and enable them to keep fresh in their mem-
ory these beautiful words : 
"0 then the loved of earth shall meet, 
Whom death has sundered here : 
The prophets and patriarchs then will greet, 
All that worship at Jesus' feet, 
No more separation to fear. 
Though trials and griefs await us here, 
The conflict will soon be o'er ; 
This glorious hope our hearts shall cheer, 
For we know that the Saviour will soon appear, 
And then we shall grieve no more."

GETHSEMANE. 
We find on our return home quite an ac-
cumulation of communications which have 
been laid over, to which we shall give our at-
tention as fast as current duties will allow. 
Among others, we find some from our old 
friend, DAVID CAMPBELL, one of the oldest, 
if not the oldest student of prophecy in the 
United States. He proposes giving a series 
of articles on Unfulfilled Prophecy, one of 
which we give in the present number. We 
give his articles, not because we expect to 
agree with all he writes, but with the hope 
and belief that he will elicit some light on 
the subject of which he proposes to treat, 
that will be available to others who may fol-
low in the same field. We would, however, 
suggest the propriety of all writers confining 
themselves to the work, not of prophecying, 
but of expounding prophecy. 
THE PAST AND FUTURE OF REVELA- 
TION. 
HENRY LYE. 
Dear Bro. 
Bro. Litch :-In accordance with 
Bro. Cunningham's proposition, you will find 
enclosed two dollars for the Freedmen's Mis-
sion, one for Abby F. Ober, and one for my-
self. And I hope there will be no lack of 
funds for this worthy object, but that the 
people will give liberally, as the Lord has 
prospered them. 
I was glad to learn by the last Herald. 
that Bro. Child was better. My prayer is, 
that the lives and health of our dear mis-
sionaries, in that important field, may be pre-
served, and that they may be greatly blessed 
in their self-denying labors, and have many 
souls in the day of the Lord, as seals of their 
ministry.

BY G. G. LAMBEESTON. 
The night winds sighed through olive bowers, 
And the moon, through the dreamy blue, 
Looked sweetly down, and Kedron's flowers 
Gleamed with the scented dew. 
And bright Silome with lilies crowned, 
.1Eolean murmurs gave 
.To the rapturous swell of the angel-song, 
That trembled o'er its wave. 
Gethsemane in shadows lay, 
Save when a lonely star, 
Cast o'er the gloom a filendly ray 
From the home of the afar. 
No sound broke o'er the silent night, 
But the fall of the gurgling spring, 
And the stormy flight of the desert bird, 
As she moved on weary wing. 
And 0, how sad the plaintive prayer, 
The dreadful agony 
Of the meek and lotvly, kneeling there 
In sweat and blood for me ! 
And pitying angels lingered near, 
With mournful droopinc, wings, 
And breathed o'er his soul 
The breath of heaven in gentle whisperings. 
"Oh, Father ! let this cup pass by," 
He in trembling pathos said, 
"Yet, not my will but thine be done," 
And bowed his weary head.

This Conference being the Quarter-Cen-
tury Anniversary, the Committee of Arrange-
ments have deemed it appropriate to have 
the original faith of the body, represented by 
this Conference re-affirmed in a series of dis-
courses during the meeting. 
The following will be the order of the 
series : 
The Importance of Prophetic Investi-
gation, and how it should be conducted. 
F.J.D. J. M. ORROCK. 
The Second Coining of Christ Personal, 
Visible, Glorious, Pm-millennial. 
ELD. J. H. VAN DERZEE. 
The Resurrections,-their Nature, Or-
der, Period, Peculiarities and Results. 
Dr. J. LITCH. 
The Restitution,-its Nature and Ex- 
tent. 
ELD. 0. R. FASSETT. 
The Kingdom of God,-its Nature, 
Location, Period of Establishment and Du- 
ration. ELD. W. H. EASTMAN. 
The Millennium,-its Chronology and 
Peculiarities. 
The Periods of Rewards and Punish- 
ments. 
ELD. S. S. GARVIN. 
The Prophetic Numbers,-their Im- 
port and Use. ELD. D. I. ROBINSON. 
The Similarity and Dissimilarity of 
Millennarianism and American Adventism. 
ELD. F. GUNNER. 
The Abrahamic Covenant. 
ELD. I. R. GATES. 
The Relation and True Interpretation 
of the Two Covenants, the Old and time New. 
ELD. L. OSLER. 
The Relation of the Jews to the New 
Covenant, and their Prophetic Future. 
HECTOR MAIBEN. 
Our Position in the Prophetic Cal- 
endar. 
ELD. J. PEARSON. 
The Practical Bearings which these 
important truths should have upon our Lives 
and Characters. ELD. I. H. SHIPMAN. 
The following questions, among others, 
will be presented for consideration during 
Conference : 
Should the doctrine of Christ's coming, 
and kindred truths, be considered of vital im-
portance ? 
What steps should be immediately taken 
by us to bring the faith we cherish .more 
directly to the attention of the Church and 
world? 
Are our churches and brethren, meet-
ing the requirements of the New Testament, 
on the subject of systematic benevolence ? 
Are the ministers among us justified in 
secularizing the ministry, to the extent many 
are doing 
What can be done to render our Sab-
bath schools more efficient ? 
,Are we fully comprehending, and per-
forming our duty as a people, to the Freed-
men of the South ? 
In the 14th chapter of Revelation, we learn 
that the voice which called John up to heaven, 
promised to show him "things which must be 
hereafter." But in the first chapter of Rev-
elation, he was shown things which should 
"shortly come to pass ;" "for the time is at 
hand." Why then may not the theory ad-
vanced by Bro. Campbell be correct, that the 
letters to the seven churches contained things 
which were to come to pass speedily, and 
were even then in course of fulfillment ; 
while the events which were to follow, dis-
closed in the sealed book and its codicil, were 
more remote ? It is certainly a thought 
worthy of attention. We confess to a very 
imperfect understanding of the Apocalypse, 
and have seen nothing satisfactory, especially 
on the opening of the seals. If Bro. Camp-
bell can throw light on the subject, we shall 
be gratified. , •

Died in Philadelphia, on Sept. 11th, Hen-
ry Lye, in the 86th year ortis'age. Anoth-
er old pilgrim has passed from our midst. 
We have laid his body away in the silent 
grave, to await the call of him who is "the 
resurrection and the life." Father Lye, as 
he was familiarly called by those of like 
precicus faith, had been a believer in the 
the speedy coming of Christ since 1842, 
when, having become deeply interested in 
this neglected .and almost forgotten doctrine, 
he gave himself to the cause, head, heart, and 
purse. His whole soul was in the work of 
spreading the glad tidings. He took great 
delight in maintaining a Pilgrim's Home in 
the early days of Adventism, when friends 
were few, and homes were scarce, as Brn. 3d of Sept., 1865, was in the fifty-second

A sister in Vermont, in making a remit-
tance,.says : • 
"I feel I cannot do without the Herald. 
It is like cold water to a thirsty soul. Its 
weekly visits I welcome with gladness, and, 
although I am acquainted with but few who 
write fbr its colums, yet in my heart I love 
the doctrine it advocates ; it cheers me on to 
bear the trials I meet while passing through 
this "vale of tears ;" it is company in hours 
of loneliness, and I rejoice that I ever be-
came acquainted with it. May God bless 
its Editor, and sustain and give him all the 
wisdom and grace he needs in his arduous 
labor, and make him the instrument in his 
hands of doing much good, and of saving 
many souls. Yours in hope of eternal life. 
BRO. JOSEPH MILLER, of Philadelphia, 
will accompany Bro. I. R. Gates in his Can-
ada tour. The Lord give them success in 
surgeons at Dr. White's say, "I have poisoned 
five Yankees to-day," and another would say, 
"I have poisoned ten." They were laughing 
and drinking at the time. He also heard 
surgeons say they were going to vaccinate 
and take off the arms of the Yankees. They 
would be frequently laughing about the 
poison. Mrs. Reed took from the letters 
four or five hundred dollars, which she kept 
in a box until the prison was broken up. He 
did not know what became of the money. 
Judge Advocate Chipthan said that the 
Government would informally close their 
case to-day, reserving the right, however, to 
examine witnesses who may be found, touch-
ing new matter, and he would record evi-
dence connecting the Richmond authorities 
with the Andersonville prison. 
Mr. Baker said he should go it blind by 
consenting to such an arrangement. 
Col. Chipman replied that the evidence 
referred to Davis, Lee, and others -.of the 
rebel Government, and the counsel had no 
right to object to testimony which did not 
personally affect his client. 
Mr. Baker asked the Commission to ad-
journ for at least a week from next Tuesday, 
and stated his reasons for making the re-
quest. 
The Court, after deliberation with closed 
doors, announced the decision on the appli-
cation of the counsel-namely, overruling 
the motion for the adjournment for a week, 
but agreeing to adjourn until next Tuesday, 
in consideration of the delicate health of Mr.

Bro. Orrock, who once visited him while 
sick, was the family's choice to preach the 
funeral sermon, but living as he does at such 
a distance, and on so short a notice, it was 
thought by the friends very improbable 
whether he could be obtained ; therefore it 
was thought advisable to engage time services

place, who gave to a•crowded house a very 
consoling discourse from these words, Matt.

up the body and buried it, and went and told 
Jesus." 
Bro. Smith leaves a wife and five children,

left his home and went at the call of his 
bleeding country to defend it in its hour of 
peril. May God bless him in sparing his

Cheering intelligence comes from all parts 
of the land, of the interest taken by the 
friends in our approaching Anniversary at 
Waterbury. It promises to be the most nu-
merously attended meeting we have had for 
many years. From Newburyport, Attlebo-
ro', and other [laces in this vicinity, noble. 
delegations are going. Providence, we un-
derstand, will send fifty. Pennsylvania is 
nobly rallying to the standard, so that the 
Alleghanies will join with the Green Moun-
tains, in reverberating their welcome hosan-
nas to the coming King. If atter a trying, 
wearisome voyage, Paul "thanked God and 
took courage," when meeting his brethren at. 
Appii Forum, shall not our hearts leap with 
joy and gratitude when we greet each other 
at Waterbury from all parts of the land ? 
Let increasing, fervent prayer ascend to God 
for the divine blessing to attend the contem-
plated meeting. 
The friends in Waterbury have made am-
ple preparation for all who will attend.; and 
therefore all will be welcome, and well cared 
for.

blessed hope cheers the hearts of God's 
saints, and the thought that it is near makes 
us almost impatient for Christ to appear, 
when death shall lie vanquished, and God's 
people be free. 
The first case on which we tried the pow-
er of this Liniment was Elder C. Cunning-
ham, who was in the office with his head 
stopped up with a severe cold. One applica-
tion cured it in a few minutes. It is this 
circumstance to which h© refers in the fol- 
lowing note of inquiry. J. LITCH.

NOTE.-The foregoing obituary did not 
come altogether unexpectedly. On the oc-
casion of our last visit, ill June, we were 
persuaded the old pilgrim's journey was near 
its close. While memory lasts, we shall 
never forget the many, many kindnesses we 
have received from Father anti Mother Lye, 
nor the freeness of their hospitality. All 
that is said of him above we heartily endorse. 
In all the trials of disappointment he has 
never swerved, nor ceased to, bear a faithful 
testimony, on all occasions, to his faith in 
the near and glorious appearing of the Say- 
A. WORD TO THE CHURCHES. 
Dear Bro. Litch :-Is the Boston Lini-
ment what you applied on my head when in 
the office, which cured me of my cold so 
quickly ? At any rate, please send me two 
bottles, as I want one for a neighbor afflicted 
with pain in his face. Send by express. Thy 
brother,

It is very desirable that all the churches 
in the States and Canadas, interested in the 
Conference to be held at Waterbury, should 
appoint their delegates to the Conference, 
that they may be prepared to act at the meet-
ing. 
If memory serves me, "All duly appointed 
delegates from Advent churches, all pastors 
of Advent churches, evangelists in good stand-
ing with Advent churches, isolated brethren, 
and members of other evangelical denomina-
tions interested in the faith and objects of 
the Conference, are entitled to seats in that 
Conference, and a participation in the doings 
of the same."

A GOOD SUGGESTION. 
Died in Waterbury, Vt., Aug. 23, of ty-
phoid pneumonia, Edwin L., son of E. N. 
and Mary H. Case, aged fifteen years. One 
year ago last May this afflicted family fol-
towed a beloved son to the silent tomb ; and 
though fifteen months have rolled into eterni-
ty, the memory of Clarence is still cherished 
by all who knew him, and the grief caused 
by his departure is fresh in the hearts of 
these dear parents who so long and tenderly 
watched by his side during the weary years 
of his illness. When the earth was being 
clothed with verdure, and the spring flowers 
were sending forth their fragrance, his mild, 
loving spirit took its flight from a world of 
pain and sorrow, to await those mansions of 
the redeemed at the resurection of the just, 
when, if faithful, 
"We shall meet beyond the river, 
When our conflicts all are o'er ; 
And will spend the blest forever, 
On that bright, celestial shore." 
And now, when the golden harvest is being 
gathered, and the sere leaf is falling to the 
ground, we have borne Eddie, the only re-
maining child, to the cold grave, and that 
mother has been led to experience still more 
deeply than ever before, the sentiments of 
that beautiful hymn composed by herself : 
Eld. Josiah Litch, 
ONE DOLLAR DONATIONS TO FREEDMEN'S 
MISSION. 
THE BOSTON METROPOLITAN HORSE CAR 
COMPANY have raised their fare from five to 
six cents a passage. A great deal of indig-
nation is felt toward them on that account. 
The scene described below was occasioned 
by this circumstance : 
INDIGNATION MEETING IN A HORSE CAR. 
On Friday afternoon, about dusk, it so 
happened that some twenty-taro male passen-
gers took seats in a car for the South end-
mostly strangers to one another. On arriv-
ing at the point where the conductor takes 
the fares, questions were raised as to whether 
it was a "five cent," or a "six cent" crowd. 
A resident of Ward Eleven made'a proposi-
tion that those who were in favor of paying 
fixe cents to the Metropolitan Railroad Com-
pany say "aye," and thereupon rose a shout 
of "ale" from all parts of the car. The vote 
was decided unanimous. Time fares were col-
lected according to the vote of the meeting, 
by the smiling conductor, without a word of 
grumbling on either side, as the passengers 
"could not see" the six cents, and the con-
ductor saw that it was no use to try it on. 
After collecting the five cent individual fares, 
the conductor again stepped into the car and 
said that he was obliged to collect tlitnames 
of the passengers, and this call was respond-
ed to by shouts of "Smith," "Jones,' "John-
son," "Brown," &c. One gentleman arose 
and was passing out of the car, but was 
loudly called upon by the passengers for his 
name, to which he replied on leaving, that it 
could be found in the Directory, or on a pe-
tition to the City Government presented last 
Monday. The rest of the passengers gave

Died of erysipelas, at New Kingston, 
Pa., Sept. 7, 1865, Isabel A. Heagy, aged 
19 years and 6 days. 
The deceased was at Sabbath school on 
the 3d inst., as it was her pleasurable duty 
to lead the singing, and play the melodeon. 
While there she took a severe pain in her 
head. When she arrived home at 12 M., 
she went to her mother who was in bed sick, 
and wept in consequence of the severity of 
the pain. Medical aid . being procured, time 
disease was pronounced erysipelas. Every 
effort was made to stay its progress, but all 
to no purpose, her sufferings hourly growing 
more intense till one half hour after mid-
night of Wednesday (rather Thursday morn), 
when death relieved her of her sufferings, 
and she 
"Sleeps in Jesus ; blessed sleep, 
Front which none ever wake to weep." 
She was unconscious, as far as we could 
tell, for about twelve hours before her de-
parture, previous to which, in whispered ac-
cents, she was heard to plead with her Say-

SUPERSTITION IN ITALY.-In an Evangel-

read : 
In the little town of Cosenza, in Calabria, 
there are twenty-four large convents within 
the walls, besides an infinity of other clerical 
associations. The lyceum is in the hands of 
the priests, who are everywhere, in the cafe 
and time theatre, the private house and the 
public street, the prisons and the charitable 
institutions. There, at Epiphany, a wooden 
doll is publicly baptized; elsewhere drops of

We have just issued a sheet of music un-

an excellent piece of music and words. We 
have' also printed on the same sheet the 
words published a few weeks ago in the _Her-

NOTICE. 
Eld. Gates will preach (Lord willing) at 
Roxam, C. E., October 3-5. Champlain Vil-
lage, N. Y., 6-8. Waterbury, Vt., 9. 
The friends on the Isle of Mott, Alburgh, 
Clarenccwille, Odletown, and other places in 
the vicinity of Roxam and Champlain, will 
be pleased to give Eld. Gates a bearing, as 
one who labored in those regions in former 
years with great success. 
As many are making this inquiry, we 
would say, that the fare from Boston to Wa-
terbury, is $7,25, which will be the entire 
cost both ways. You can take the cars from 
the Fitchburg Station, Causeway Street, at 
7 A. M., and reach Waterbury at 4 P. M., 
or take the cars at 51 P. M. and reach Wa-
terbury next morning at 3.

A
REyou sick, feeble and 
complaining ? Are you 
out of order with your sys-
tem deranged and your feel-
ings uncomfortable? These 
symptoms are often the pre- 
--- 
lude to serious illness. Some 
fit of sickness is creeping 
upon you, and should be 
averted by a timely use of the rig'it remedy. Take 
Ayer's Pills, and cleanse out the disordered humors-
purify the blood, and let the fluids move on unob-
structed in health again. They stimulate the func-
tions of the body into vigorous activi y, purify the 
system from the obstructions which make disease. A 
cold settles somewhere in the body, and deranges its 
functions. These, if not relieved, act upon themselves 
and the surrounding organs, producing general agra-
vation, suffering and derangement. While in this con-
dition, take Ayer's Pills, and see how directly they 
restore the natural action of the system, and with it 
the buoyant feeling of health again. What is true 
and so apparent in this trivial and common complaint 
is also true in many of the deep seated and dangerous 
distempers. The same purgative effect expels them. 
Caused by similar obstructions and derangements of 
the natural functions of the body, they are rapidly and 
many of them surely cured by the same means None 
who know the virtue of these Pills will neglect to em-
ploy them when suffering from the disorders they cure, 
such as Headache, Foul Stomach. Dysentery, Bilious 
Complaints, Indigestion, Derangement of the Liver, 
Costiveness, Constipation, Heartburn, Rheumatism, 
Dropsy, Worms and Suppression, when taken in large 
doses. 
They are Sugar-coated, so that the most sensitive 
can take them easily, and they are surely the best 
purgative medicine yet discovered.

"I feel sorry, mother, to find you so 
destitute and afflicted." 
"Yes, yes, my dear sir," said the 
lady, in a feeble voice; "but I am so 
glad that God has given me an affection-
ate daughter. She is always trying to 
relieve me, and is my constant com-
forter. May God in his love remember 
her and bless her-my dear child !" and 
her voice was choked back by sobs, and 
her face covered with tears. 
The good king wept with the poor 
widow. What a sight ! How the an-
gels of heaven hovered over the lowly 
hut, breathing joy unspeakable into 
three hearts-the . suffering woman's, 
the sympathizing king's, and the filial 
daugh#r's. The monarch never re-
ceived such a blessing on his throne in 
the palace as there in the lone hut by 
the wayside! lie handed the daughter 
a purse of gold, and directed. her to a 
better house, where she. and her mother 
might be comfortable, saying, as he de-
parted, 
"Go on, my young friend, in your 
way of dutiful love and care, and you 
shall lack for nothing while I have the 
means to help you. I am your king. 
Farewell !" 
Gustavus ever remembered the poor 
family, and made provision to have a 
sum of money regularly sent to the 
woman for her support ; and at the 
mother's death he presented the daugh-
ter with a handsome fortune.

and tried to shake him off. But he 
talked so kindly to them, told them how 
wicked it was for little friends and 
school-fellowS to quarrel, and how Je-
sus, when he was reviled, reviled not 
again, and when he suffered the most 
cruel injuries threatened not, that they 
both began to be sorry for what they 
had done, and tried to make excuses for 
their conduct. 
"I am sure I would not have called 
him names," said George, "if he had 
not tried to stop my top when it was a 
spinning." 
"And I would not have kicked it over 
and broken it, if he had not called me a 
liar, and made me mad," joined in Ed-
die. 
"But there was no need to fight about 
it. That would not have made matters 
any better," said Harry. "And now, 
come, boys, let us see what can he done. 
George's top is not badly broken. I can 
soon mend it with a little glue, and it 
will be as good as ever. Or you may 
have mine, George. I would quite as 
lieve have this." 
But the boys protested against this 
arrangement. And finally, not to be 
outdone in generosity, Eddie insisted on

will not be converted." "Sire," replied 
the fearless old man, "you have often 
said that you feel pity for me ; but it is 
I who pity you, who have said, am 
compelled.' That is not speaking like 
a king ! These girls and I, who have 
part in the kingdom of heaven, we will 
teach you to talk royally. The Guisarts, 
all your people, and yourself, cannot 
compell a potter to bow down to images 
of clay !" Not. many months afterward 
the two fair girls were led to the stake,

their crowns of martyrdom. A year 
later, in 1589, in his 81st year, Bernard 
Palissy, the potter, died in the Bastile. 
WHICH WAS THE RICHER ?-I watched 
by the bedside of a sick man surrounded 
by every luxury, with kind friends to 
smooth his pillow, and anticipate every 
wish. The most skillful physicians 
hung over him, for he had gold, and 
lands, and immense wealth. But he 
was not at peace with God. In the in-
tervals of delirium, he would earnestly 
implore for life, for mercy, for space to 
repent. 
I left him, and met "old Jacob," a 
negro of more than fourscore, crippled 
and in tleep poverty. He had outlived 
every member of his family but one, and 
she was a sore trial. Even the rude 
abode he occupied scarce deserved the 
name of home. Yet, in the midst of all, 
he was a true Christian. He had but 
just arisen fain, a sick bed, where he 
had been prostrated with inflammatory 
rheumatism. Said I, "Well, Jacob, 
how are you'!" "Pretty well, thank 
God, massa, only a littte pain in my 
joints ; the Lord is very good to poor 
old Jacob."- The British Workman.

the country is sending forth her sturdy sons 
to the defense of our liberties, is becomes us to admon-
ish our readers, both old and young, that they should 
be extremely cautious about their health and strength, 
that they may be able to till the soil, gather in the 
harvests, and provide for the necessities of those left at 
home who are helpless and without adequate means of 
support. Probably no one class of disease has pro-
duced more suffering, sorrow and death, than that 
which is commonly called dyspepsia. It seeks its vic-
tims not only among the feeble and delicate, but in the 
work-shops, upon the farm, in the counting-room, 
and in fact in every vocation of life. It grapples 
the hardy mechanic, and after a few days entirely de-
prives him of his strength and ambition, and makes 
him depressed in spit it, indisposed to labor, and final-
ly reduces him to a helpless invalid. 
The sturdy farmer who has grown strong and mus-
cular as he labors in the parched fields, burnt by the 
scorching heat of ths summer's sun, dreams not that

and his presence, calleth not at the subject's bidding, 
nor as a welcome guest in his household. Almost 
like a thief does he steal unawares upon his victim. 
First the appetite is gone ; no disposition or anxiety 
to partake of nourishing food, and what is taken is fol-
lowed by the most distressing pains, and sours and rises 
upon the stomach. The bowels become debilitated, 
.constipation holds them in an abnormal condition. 
Sick-headache, heart-burn. cramps, colic pains, weari-
ness, complete depression, and finally every vestige of 
energy and s.rength are gone, and our sturdy, impreg-
nable yeoman yields in despair to his fate. 
This is no fancy-picture which we have painted, It 
is an every-day occurrence, and the more lamentable 
on account of its frequency. Hundreds and thousands 
of all ages and all classes yearly die victims to infirmi-
ties which have their origin in a diseased condition of 
the stomach and bowels, most of which come under the 
general head of Dyspepsia. 
It has often appeared to us that a preparation which 
would meet the wants and be a certain and positive 
arrester of this dypeptic monarch, would be of the 
most invaluable benefit to the world, and receive the 
grateful thanks of many thousands of suffering invalids. 
It is true that there are a hundred different kinds of 
bitters a.id alcoholic beverages, all recommended as 
splendid tonics, of great medicinal value, and com-
pounded ( f a hundred different barks and roots, pre-
served in fine old whiskey and New England rum. But 
their chief virtue is to make merry, giddy, and to ex-
hilarate while their effects last, to be followed, like 
the drunkard's cup, by extreme exhaustion and com-
plete prostration. It gives us great pleasure, however, 
to say that within a few short months an article has 
been presented to the public which thus far has proved 
itself entirely adequate to the control and cure of the 
most aggravated cases of Dyspepsia. We refer to 
"Coe's Dyspeptic Cure," an article prepared by U. G. 
Clark, & Co, Druggists and Chemists. at No. 149 State 
St., this city, (New Haven, Conn.,) gentlemen who 
have been long and favorably known to the public as 
proprietors of that world-renowned remedy, known as 
Coe's Cough Balsam, (said to be the cheapest and best 
cough preparation extant.) 
A gentleman called at a drug store in a neighboring 
city, where we chanced to be present, and from whom 
we heard the following conversation. Said he to the 
clerk in charge, "I want two bottles of Coe's Dyspeptic 
Cure. I have had the Dyspepsia far several years, and 
have tried everything, without help, until some three 
weeks ago, I bought from you a single bottle of this 
Coe's Dyspeptic Cure. It helped me immediately. I 
have gained eight pounds within the time, and have 
had no signs of any Dyspepsia. I consider myself 
cured. But I am going away into a distant State upon 
a visit, and I dart not go without it, and I will take 
two bottles, as some of my relatives may need it. I 
have told several of my neighbors of its wonderful ef-
fects upon myself, and in three instances where they 
have procured it, (and they are the only ones I have 
heard from) their experience has b en the same as 
mine." We did not learn the gentleman's name, but 
these are the facts, in the main, as stated. 
We do not wish to puff up one article above another, 
nor present it to our readers as superior to all others ; 
undoubtedly all have their merits. But in view of the 
almost miraculous cures it has performed, we deem it 
but a duty we owe ourselves and our readers, that we 
should inform them of its great value, and give them the 
evidence of our own eyes and ears, and recommend it to 
their careful consideration. If you are in affluent cir-
cumstances you cannot value the cost, which compared 
with professional visits of physicians, is but as a drop in 
the bucket, while if you are poor and needy, we d ubt 
not the Messrs. Clark & Co , will gladly contribute to 
your relief. 
We have used a good portion of our space in discours-
ing upon this one class of disease, but must be indulged, 
as we believe we have met the needs and requiremeits 
of the largest class of sufferers. But we would not fail 
in this connection to refer to the great danger all are 
subject to at this season of the year from the sudden 
changes of the weather, a snapping, biting cold day, 
and then a mild and pleasant sunshine, to be followed 
perhaps by a driving storm and chilling winds. A 
slight cough, an irritated sore throat, a sudden attack 
of croup upon some of the children, a hacking cough, lay 
the foundation of pulmonary affections which often ter-
minate in consumption and an early grave. Exposure 
should be avoided; going from the heated counting- 
room or warm workshop into the open air, there should 
be great care exercised that the body is protected by ad- 
ditional clothing, and also be extremely careful abous 
sitting in a draft of air, especially when in a perspira-
tion. Should you. however, by carelessness or misfor- 
tune get "elected" with a cough or cold, or pulmonary 
attack, we know of no article in the world which we 
could recommend as conscientiously over "Coe's Cough 
Balsam," and this calls to mind an "item;" as we were 
passing the warehouse a day or two since where this 
article is prepared, we noticed an immense number of 
boxes bearing the stencil mark, 
"COE'S COUGH BALSAM," 
we remarked to one of the firm, it would really seem" 
that the whole world ought to be cured "from the looks 
of this stock of medicine." We learned upon inquiry 
tnat about 5700 bottles of this article were daily packed 
and shipped to nearly every part of the globe, a large 
number of workmen are employed, and the alacrity with 
which the crude materials are converted into Balsam 
and then bottled and packed, is perfectly astonishing. 
Their preparations are sold by nearly every druggist in 
the world. 
Trusting that the views we have expressed upon a sub-
ject near and dear to all of us, (our health,) which in-
volves our greatest happiness, may be found profitable 
and useful to our many readers, and assuring you that if 
any one of you who chance to be afflicted with this mal-
ady, and by the means to which we have directed you, 
find relief, we shall feel most amply repaid for our labor. 
We conclude our essay by the old proverb, "Health is 
wealth." Be ye therefore careful that ye preserve it.-

Dr. Nevins, of Baltimore, once wrote. 
an article with this heading, which had 
a wide circulation, and stirred many 
Christian hearts to ,praise. Some parts 
of it are well worth republishing, as 
setting forth a Christian duty too often 
neglected. He says : 
It strikes me that we ought to praise 
more as well as pray more. I- do not 
know how it is with others, but I know 
that I have a great deal for which to he 
thankful and to praise God. I feel that 
it will not do for me to spend all my 
breath in praying. I -should thus, it is 
true, acknowledge my dependence on 
God; but where would be the acknowl-
edgment of his benefits conferred on 
me ? I must spend a part of my breath 
in praise. God has been very good to 
me. Yes, he has exercised goodness 
toward me in all its various forms of 
pity, forbearance, care, bounty, grace, 
and mercy ; or to express all in one 
word, "God is love," and he has been •

alWays uttering desire and never ex-
pressing gratitude-expending all our 
voice in supplication, and none of it in 
song? Is this the.way to treat a bene-
factor ? No ! it is not just so to treat 
Him ; neither.is it wise. It is very bad 
policy to praise no more than Christians 
generally do. They would have much 
more success in prayer if one-half the 
time they now spend in it were spent in 
praise. I do not mean they pray too 
much, but that they praise too little. I 
suspect that the reason why the Lord 
did such great things for the Psalmist 
was, that while he was riot by any 
means deficient in prATer, he abounded 
in praise. The Lord heard his psalms, 
and while he sung of mercy shown, 
showed him more. And it would be 
just so with us, if we abounded more in 
praise and thanksgiving. It displeases 
God that we should be always dwelling 
on our wants, as if he had never sup-
plied one of them. 
How do we knew that God is not 
waiting for us to praise him for a benefit 
he has already conferred, before he will 
confer on us that other which we may 
now be so earnestly desiring of him. 
For one who offers genuine praise, there 
may be found ten who pray. Ten 
lepers lifted up their voices -together in 
the prayer, "Jesus, Master,. have mercy 
on us," but only one of the ten "re-
turned to give glory to God." The rest 
were satisfied with the benefit-this one

only thought gratefully of the benefactor. 
Praise is altogether the superior exer-
cise of the two. Prayer may be al-
together selfish in its origin, but praise 
is ingenuous. Praise is the employment 
of heaven. Angels praise, the spirits of 
the just made perfect praise. We shall , 
not always pray, but we shall ever 
praise. I charge thee, my soul, to praise 
him, and he will never let thee want
