LECTURE BY M.R. GEORGE PARRY, OF SALFORD The concluding lecture of a course, on the doctrines of the true Christian religion, was delivered on Sunday evening last, in the new Jerusalem Church, Bedford- street, by Mr. George Parry, of Salford. The subject of the gentleman's lecture was —"Religion ; its relation to life; domestic, social, commercial, and political." The service commenced at six o'clock, and the church was well filled, there being After som, devotional =blued that, as .ay subject that evening, he had selected t )od number of strangers pi ;rvices, Mr. Parry an- introduction for his 33rd verse of irst:the ss, and all these the 6th chapter of Matthew : ".But seek y kingdom of God and his righteon things shall be at dded unto you." lie then , I coceeded to —lt seems late in the day to ask the .qu.stion, has Is it meant to go down religion any tearing upon lif with men into their daily dubs to help them in th, patience their daily trials, to assist them to bear wit daily sorrows, and to perion, ell thcir daily dtiti IS it mearztqo be tr blood of t social man, th sap of that great world tree, the stream whose ramifica tions shall diffuse themselves through the earth and fertilise Or is it m to be a matter for specific all land, days, of Sabbath prayers, confined to rending and words, , ka thing for distant•eontomplation, widely av from the world's work If religion is tk why we may dose our bibles, may shut oar churches, they -have no business in -this' wolidug world of ours, unless indeed it is supposedtlaat these praises and prayers, sad this much reading propitiate ang as averse this latt tno . se Heathen tin propitiate *so; that religion is must take firm hold lie sacred word is meant to or is meaut to make favo .hle one who Kl , are we .bat slightly remove( ivheri altars thsacrifico to But let t 3wa and f hope that it is not o be a thing that of the hearts of men, which, while :not ceasing to getAttEn and praise,shall:yet utter itself in more solemn ression in wards of prayer -shall come outia , beaetits, in acts of mutual service, in high duties of self sacrifice, in great eff •mon good.

This purpose sprung up out. of the infinite love with which God ever regards his creatures, which prompts him to bless others with infinite blessin to give them a - happiness to all eterni True it that the -creature may have that great object of hap piness here, preparatory to happiness hereafter, being elair made subservient to the great objects of .God in his creation. Man is the link between God rand the universe—his body stands associated with every Mrm of material being. The earth beneath brings forth :his food,*and the body that is by the products of the earth beneath, ,nd. around Minis the servant of tho soL and the soul is meant to be the temple of God, to be mad€ obedient to his dictates, ever resounding with his worstiip The human soul is the habitatiou'o. and wisdom of which it was made to be the :recipient. This body is fitly formed to be the servant of the soul which inhabits this world, and fitly formed to serve the purpose of God in the Universe. The soul serves this perishing body, and goes back to Him, the creator of all. All thin- down from gs corn God, and all things go back to him through his creature man. Ah, how beautiful would the connection be, .if the earth always served the body, the body always served the soul, and the soul always served God. No atom beneath the feet of man then but would exist to the brilliancy and ,glcry of God. When the spirit of man is drawn to God, then is creation made great by that elevation of humanity ; but if man prefers to reject the counsel of God, if he re fuses to receive into his heart the influences that shall make him. like unto God—if he become the slave of ..selfish and worldly interests, - and , become the slave of all .dominant - and 'heart passions; - .then is the earth stolen from God, and perverted to the use of -a degraded and sensual nature. Then the fair sky above is covered with the blackness of darkness, then the pure defiled, then has the flower lost all its then this world this cosmos— stream is tands a slave to the; bod Yes, the fact that man's regeneration goes b, works of God ; .e tact that man that a human -bi misery, and hell, is the whole tun% Est, so fur - Inman being is concenied, should, indeed, make us feel the responsibility with which our life is weighted. But does the world feel this responsibility. We fear not. Widely and very largely is service put rather as an apology for the absence of religion, than an indication of its presence ; very . widely words stand forth instead of .deeds, and the service of the lips is not the companion of the service of the hands ; very widel . , is praise and prayer heard without much relnzein in the churches, we -doonlypass the - remark to say that this world is not the most religious world, sad to say; but we do ciate that praise and that pr T which of one who thousand ten:ll)les, Sabbath after 'Sabbath inflame soften: has felt the „ heart, or that felt that heart lifted up, as .the words _of praise passed forth from willth ups, can ervices .one word of depreciation of those. _ .humble, many earnest souls to-day, do feel • that they are wiser, better, stronger, for the -battl e .of life, because they have prayed to God and joined with others in singinc , his praise. But the matter to he com plained of is, that praise and prayer stand for religion without being it. They are often a righteousness which does not exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, and cannot therefore, cuter into the Kingdom of Heaven. • They are many; it must be confessed, who go on this mode of praise and prayer. There is a wide spread social immorality to be found in men who 0.0. to ;church and praise G o d, b u t d o not always think that they are, therefore, bound to go into the Exchange, into ;the away into the service of government, to obey ;IN of always does it happen, that to those.fr in prayer belong tt deeds peat in. goi The *truth is, that men who prai. o not always. worship God. _ worship t love God which they love worship him, an If they low that they worship him by yieldin obedient :i.; the laws - of him love the objects of word, ad. ea chief good, then be sure it sta their worship to God is onl S DO tIICI 10W Veil' sedulously (foes a human bein 6 , objects in his heart, yield upon their altar, God, and Truth. Yea, men worship that which they love most. • The world.has sought happiness from below.

Histo., a record of the efforts of philosophers and law_ build up a heaven on earth withiint God. But revolu tions passed over the world like a hurricane, a monarchy made, and then destroyed; t eimblies are established; laws are enacted and repealed—huts when these reat _o done, the world behold s with astonishment g that I truth, pintos°, t least they world mi mnd upora:ear.tn nt, relig It is a failure this effort to make the woad good by external influences. Long ago vre had stated, in clear and simple words, "Lo ! here, or lo l there, the kingdom of God is within you." Aye, within you; in the love that ought to enlist your service in the truth—that ought . to lead you to deeds of goodness and of duty. There within you lies the kingdom of God, if anywhere, and surely the world might-have learnt by this time that when the laws of God become dominant in the human heart, then and nottill then will the world obey them. Should it be said that religion is opposed to these external matters ? Not so; it would be a very fallacious view of the world_ and society,' to suppose that because religion is that curative which reaches the disease s that, therefore, it was opposed to the application of theso external means. No, let government advance in the progress of ameliorating the external conditions of the word. Let not comrnetol cease to exert its influence on the community in the work of freedom, serviee'and benefit. Let that commerce, ns it were by a firm grasp of hands between nation and nation, link each to each by mutual benefit and good will. Let science advance in its process of investigation, and let art take up what science -effects, and arkTtit to the service of Mari. Let these things' go lot the foe of human progress, ' helplessly by in the advance of oa ; rei it aoes ion is that civilisation which has s now for some' centuries hail inch u beneficial effect. Religion does not say to government, to commerce, to industry, or science, or .art, th it they are vain things, but desires to i ns pi re thern . A,vitli vinvs high and holy, and to make them bright with the glory of heaven and of God. Xe.; religion does not stand opposed even to chose pleasures and delights whiih have for their tendency the relaxation of life, and to renew our energ . es - for earliest duty. Religion could not tird in the way of our work to be done; but without takiugTrom that delight and that pleasure, any of the joy which may be theirs, religion could main: the body a servant of the soul, and reverse that disorder which so largely asserts itself, and which makes the soul a mere slave or drudge to the body, and fit the character into the image and likeness of God; it would reverse that disorder which has •actually, and which has asserted itself over so'many minds, and would make the body the servant of the soul and the world. No, rcligiOn is not the the of external progress. It would be, indeed, a sad thing if we were compelled to say that • the inward. growth of the spirit 'of man was antagonistic' to the outward growth of cifilisation. Net' so, however, it'is the 'companion of all that is great and o'ood. • External im provements go hand in hand with the growth of the heart of man in the 'likeness of God. Blessed'be God that he has so made the world, that he should bid , us first seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then all other things will be added unto it—all the glories, all the joys of this vast and won d er f u l un i verse. Now, if religion is designed thus to influence - life, how may it do so ? What 'is the life of which we all speak so much, and seem to know so little ? We appreciate ft when it comes on the day of battle, in the rustlin ,, onset of contending hostS, and the roar of cannon, and the clash of steel. We c an a pp rec i a t e lif e when hostile fleets are arranged against each other, and the throats of many guns do hurl defiance each against the other. We appreciate life'and the power of life in these great insti tutions of human power we find in cities, and in the emporiums of trade and commerce ; but then that life is so indulged in, they seem to forget that they have a soul 'at all, and live for the body only: But what is life ? Out of the heart are all the issues of life. Down in the human will are fotind the loves and affections which are the source of all powir of the life on earth. 'There d we ll s th a t . f u ll ambition - which, rushing outward, fills the world with war and carnage. There dwells that great avarice which compels the human spirit to drudge from life to death for that which is nothing. There dwells that 'high affee- tion which prompts a man to sacrifice himself that so ho may serve his fellows. Out of the heart come all laws and institutions; out thonccflows good legislation, com merce, trade, and all the institutions that sarrsund us. From that human heart, life in all its forms flows forth. If from government or political life there be an absorb prepared. often to sacrifice the lterest and elevation, out from inn ambition stani public good to privet the heart it conies. If there be in trade chicanery and deceit ; .if now and then a • panic sweeps over the world like a hurricane, shaking your mercantile housei even of the strongest build to their foundations, out from that human heart, filled with the love of getting rich in haste, comes this commercial storm. If your prisons are filled with eriminals—,if you look for corruption in any institu- tion, in your homes, in your trade,, your industry, your commerce, that corruption will be. found to have its source from the human heart out from man it comes ; and if you have institutions which express - benevolence and the love of others—and there are such in this world of ours, gloomy as it there arc blessed beings who.go,about the world !scattering benefits, if there are those who yield theniselve3 . _iT living sacrifices to • others, ministers of thus see the heart God has ken ( the and, lik purified it issues from halo it surrounds those whom What is the world ? - man ex- good of others, pressed, What is England, but - Englishmen 'fixed in institutions andlaws ? .What is England's Weakness and feeblotless ?

The corruptness of these hearts of ours—living away fir from God. - Yes, it ,will be found that out of the hearts of men come all good and evil that curses and blesses mankind. Hence it is that religion can touch life in all its parts, by touching life at its centre..

We trace it back to this influence which was exerted in ages gone by. It is quite true that all honest minds draw back from such repulsive teaching. We have loosed our chains, and began to shake them off, and we stand out now to ask of God his further lesson. The heart, then, is the motive power, but the machinery is required to put it into action, and to unite the heart and mind for action, use, benefit, service, and duties, and kindness to all. As the blood is purified by the lungs, and sent through the body as a principle of life, • so does the heart perform the same,' life giving influence in the moral life. Truth passing through the mind and the affections, purifying thOn from defilement, and then outward they issue in both vigorous and truthful life The great faculty in this world is measured by thi s d u pl ex n a tu r e. If there be strength of will and heart both, a strength of mind ;to guide the will and action, then do we see the nature, large, strong, and great. History records that one man of strong will and of mental faculty . did go far to subju gate the whole world, and this by his untiring and vaulting ambition, with concentrated force of will upon one object, did find with a richly gifted intellect a fitting instrument for his services and, therefore, great results came out of this combined activity. If God had giver to that nature goodness us well as power, the world had been better 'to-day. Yes, it is not true that faith alone can save. The word of God says it is not true. Obedience to God is very difficult under the double eon • sciousness of .eur own feebleness, our own sinfulness— seeing the great gulf thatstands between us and the all perfect God, we are ready to sink down in despair, and say, " Oh, how can-I successfully contend against these mountains of iniquities that rise, like heaps .on heaps, between me and my benificent Creator." The spirit is too feeble—if there be no bye-path to heaven which can teach it _by an indirect route to conflict with these mountainous sins, or achieve a victory over them. Oh, let us admit that the heart is far away from God; let us ail-nit the mountainous difficulties in our path ; let us admit all our feebleness, our many efforts, and our own failures, but let us not shrink by fortitude into the belief that a-repentance on the be lof death will bring us safety, bat at once go t.) that mertiful Father,who is watch ful with more than p eternal tenderness over us feeble creatures, with inguite wisdom, in all perfection; for our benefit. Let us cast away despair, but not by our strength is the victory won. That victory would, indeed, be re mote if such feeble weakness had to gain it • but trusting= in Him we may cast . away despair ' and advance - wits heart and spirit firmly, for God is hive ; and is he not Almighty —has He not iu His spirit to keep us, and His angels to minister to us ? Let us. throw ourselves; with faith and trust, into the great conflicts, the price of which is our own souls saved, the victory shall be. ours.. Religious truth has its influence for life. Always and everywhere are some religious truths found, even: in that theology where prayer is' not at all knoWn, and may appear very remote from the teaching with regard to duty, but if examined more closely it becomes more plain that these truths bear. down directly upon the issues of life. •• .The mathematician sitting in his study: developes truths that seem remote from our daily, work, but a Watt rises and seizes a beautiful truth; and couples it with the mighty steam-engine, and lo ! the studies of the mathematician have their weight in the great agency of modern civilisation. The inves tigations of the astronomer in the starry heaven seem far away from this sublunary world ; bat every sailor who sails from this and every other port, can testify how much they owe to these services ; and so sc i ence , rightly seen, though remote from the day,.is yet, when art seizes its truths, and fixes them in iron and in stone for the service of our' humanity, among • the grandest truths that man can know in helping him to arrive at the knowledge of the nature of God, which is the deepest wisdom. In 'use is the. perfect man. God made man after his own image and likeness ; and if back again we are to move to the glorious. Eden, -we must rise again to that image and likeness of God in - ourselves. Love must dwell in our hearts, and a desire to yield umourselves for the good of others, then' we shall be' blessed_ in. blessing. Nor., must our intellect remain uncultivated : the mind must give due obedience to.the heart in the right path of life. Not idly must this intellect stand merely thinking on outward things, but -mast Join, with the heart in rich uses, benefits, and services.. ,God has given it to us as a source of blessing .in our finite sphere, to perform uses on earth, and that we might direct other souls to God. The nature of- God is a lesson for life. Think you the idea of human-redemption is no lesson for life ? Behold, God loving man, seeing him ready to fall into that abyss that is ready to annihilate him, foes assaulting him, and the armies of hell armed .:against him, and fighting the battle for human transgressions, until, at . length, Divinity feels that weak humanity is about to be., overcome and steps in to the rescue, and then all the, powers of hell are vanquished. Has not God planted something of that truth and love in our hearts also. ,In the world without, as well as in the world within, - there are temptations; and is there not a redemption to be Truly, it must be ; but let us. .enter into the conflict, 'and if we are faithful to him who redeemed us, then the victory is ours, and our human' . nature in its finite - measure be glorified ; : and the outward • and the inward life shall .be made new, and universal redemp . tion be obtained by the redemption of the individual man. Each re ligious truth the most remote, every truth of genuine Christianity, bears down directly upon life, and the test of the truth of any theological principle is this :—Will it bear application to lite—will it carry the fruits of righteousness ? If it will not' bear this, it is then a blank parchment; ,thcn is it mere •words, giving us no faculty to reach the kingdo m o f G o d. And as. the papal bull was once answered by its burning, so we will answer these presumptuous counsels, these, presumptuous men, who in a past day did venture to put fetters upon human intellect, and -burn the parchment .shred. Well, then, we said the heart was the source of all our evil, and the source of all the good we enjoy ; that religion had. .et the world in all its parts, because it east. The first effect is this, it makes a man conscious that be is a sinner. Some., men, immediately upOn this Consciousness, rise and crush the truth with the 3_o_aie become conscious of their sin but after a little they enter into wrpnght within u: power to at affected the heart and v.. with fear End tremblin, lid with the evil and consci ; creeps over them, like that artic sky; and thus t toms otigrowinrx•life in terit6d*i" and perfect confidence, and of-perft.et - love: Marriage is on earth—when true,- pure and unstained by - worldly motive, undefiled by impure thought.—" the highest . image of that heaven to which we go. It is the cen tral heart of home. Children are its stars, lights, and beauty ; and if - all our homes were pure ' if all our homes were devoted to God, out thence wouldflow, in constant streams, a purity that would remove all defiletiaent from the world. Oh'. if 'to-day the homes throughout the world could be touched by some magic wand, ,if from thence all worldliness and selfishness could be shut out, if these homes could be made, as homes ought to be made, - images of heaVenly trust, and love, and peace, we should need no further reform of this world of ours. Out from these homes 'would. go men, filled with good ness, to the duties of outward life, forth with the 'strength, and thepeace, and confidence, and the trust, and the. genial influences that home had communicated to' their hearts. They would go . out to the world, which would be holy, because their homes were holy. But, alas,,how different is. it ? The children—these God has giVen theM for heaven—there they are,' incipient, who are made .to grow in all beauty and strength :in the likeness; of God. True, their hodies are not cared for but ,onlyfor the sake of their, soulS;lbut: as.a` nursery of heaven, in God's sight, hoMe is that region where should be concentrated all the influences that flow down from God. There everything should be centred to the one great end of developing' the heart toboliness. But how . often is it otherwise ? Mixed with worldly motives and worldly thoughts, the boy's religion' is 'sometimes left to a parent, and the .school may supply all he obtains. And how oftenis the female part of the family regarded as for some future day to make a splendid match with some one whose chief recommendation is that of his wealth and rank. The world comes into the home, making all this rebellion by . its touch. - When children come to be married, how much is it they think—how little do they calculate upon the responsibilities of that great institution which God. chiefly made to be a source of benefit to man. How defiled by the consideration that he, allows the body to rise up and assert its mastery over the soul The home affections of the heart must be crushed down, and all sympathy must be put away, so that.the body may live luxuriously every day, and enjoy itself in the mansions of the world. Down with the seul; and all its, higher affections ; perish all love out of that pitying humanitY. Ah, so it is on the altar of the world. Mammon is wor shipped so that the body may live luxuriously. Ilow many young, and beautiful, and tender-hearted, and, _genially pure creatures are offered' up, year by year, to this God, by those who profess to love them ! 'Oh, the blindness of man, that he submits to the supre . - macy of the world Is not, the soul more valuable than the world? .Is not eternal happiness better than the dying and fleeting joy? And, oh!: has God not taught us all in tones that mint ever be heard, and declared his displeasure of these 'unhallowed lives. ,They, are marked with all that indicates - evil and wrong. And the children, too, when religion touches the home, God is their love, and human souls are there to hear them to heaven and to. Gkl, and give the heart strength, and enables them 'to go forth with vigour into the world to fight the battle of life, and grow up "for GO and heaven. Is God for our 'homes ? Is the Bible the voice of God ? Is, it his infinitely lorino• and all-powerful voice that here speak l / 2 . Oh, had we that deep' affection in the hemes of our land, then week after week' this holy book Would not remain the least. read of all bookS, but would pour, out its streams of purifying truth over the domestic circle, and 'strengthen all hearts. Is religion not to go into th 6 transactions of commerce ? Has God so made the world that non-success must go with honesty -has God so' made the world that government ought to.struggle for self, and not for the, people, and supremacy in this direction be - coupled' with men who , , shall 'go' armed with a seared conscience, with a. heart totally dead to those high. p r i nc ipl e s which actuate the mind of the religious Christian.. Has God so made the world that the regidn in which 'men must be so generally active, is initself:an instrument for their spiritual destruction. Can it be said that religion going with man - into the commercial pursuit:, does not form the companion of these - pursuits, and give them a higher Place. isnot the he/llit in • his' care, secluded from the world and removed 'from con that can lay claim to strong and robust virtue the virtue that springs tcom temptation being absent. In the marts of the world, in the midst of trials and temptations ; where 'advantage may be - .seized, and justice be dethroned ; , where wealth may be accu mulated' in golden heaps, if only man is prepared to sacrifice heaven ; but God in that region, .where temptation is so powerful, upward may carry the strong spirit which ever springs from evil resisted. Religion then -may go into commerce. Truth tells us we can act always from two motives. The love* of use and the love of self. If we - are prepared by a love of use, . the love of benefitting others - and making gaiu subordinate to this great principle . , then, is commerce a mans of blessing to us; but if we rush into it with the desire of accumulating wealth for our personal aggrandisement, then is commerce a curse. Political life has largely become the struggle of parties for supremacy, and not so much the effort of earnest men for the common good, Ambition has taken the place, avowedly and cenfessedly, of the love of country ; love of honour and applause,; and in order, to gain some position that shall yield thempleasure and ambition, the;e are the principlei with which . men come into political life now. These are the principles which spread revolution over . the world. For the sake of power, poison and the poinard have been in requisition. 'lntrigue and trickery have been brought to bear for the sake of this craving, this absorbing passion. If it is gained by circuitous and le g al routes is none the better for that. I s it not possible, in this political life, to introduce the love of country, and make this high patriotism take the place of wholly personal ambition. Is it not possible that' truth and - open-hearted honesty shall be the means of successful action in this direction ? Is the world become so utterly perverse and corrupt, that God's justice is no longer at one with it ? 'ls the world become so that it can only be governed by this traitorous, corrupt and perverse policy ? I cannot believe this. If God has made the world at all, we say, it may be governed by justice and truth. In political life it often happens, that private character is said to 'have nothing to do with a man's, public character. That . men of the most corrupt and' depraved , private . li ves ma y b e regarded . .as patterns in their public career. Away with such policy. . Out of the heart springs the actions of men's lives. If he laves his country, he cannot be base ; and if he be base, is not the country basely served by him'? Personal purity is the only guarantee'for public character, and the individual man must be touched at his heart byreligiousstruth, before his public or political life reach that high point which is most in accordance with God's truth, and with the true wisdom Of nations.' Some men do think they can govern the world by schemes and intrigues, and do think, by their stratagems they succqed in saving their country, and circumvent others bat do not believe it Truth will last longest, and that policy, whether of nation or individual, founded on the law of God, will bring with it blessings. Let us be sure that self-retribution do not come. It comes on man for doing. evil; so will it come upon the nation who has followed an unjust course for its own - advantage. It will, at some time, meet justice ; for the foundation of a nation's greatness is justice and right, and, on this fmindation it may build high, for its . foundation is strong. Religion, then, may enter into political life but only observe, as iet with temptation, -, it is a test of the inward character of political men and of commercial life, as it touches th e heart of commercial men with industrial life, as it enters into the hearts of workmen, and into our homes, as it touches the hearts of those who dwell in our homes; it ' does not act by external forces, but -by internal agencies. We may then say that religion has relation to life, because it goes to purify the heart, whence life has all its issues. Entering into the spirit of man, it removes all that corruption, whence 'all the corruption of. the world flows. It would bring as one master and servant ; it would give the, subject an influence N . VIIICII would make them' all good . workers for one common end—mutual happiness and mutual services. It would give to com merce a lore of use in all its activities ; to political mon a love of country,. It would fill science with the thought of Gad, of whom 'all nature speaks. It would breath into art the love of the' f.iithful-it would make art itself a minister to the soul's'progress. It would unite man to man,heaven to'earth, and all men to God; and it can only prove this by seizing upon the individual heart. We. think and we speak of a • gOod time coining; we think a - universal change is to spread widely and rapidly over the world, and do not believe it impossible that this change will re- sult from the • changes in the individual. Each man changing makes the, world . better. lie is a new link uniting heaven to earth, and through w lessings „ . , of heaven 'descend to make the' earth holy. furthers best the common go . od by furthering his own. Let not you or I be too anxious to rush about the world, 'as it is called, doing good. Oh let us be a little content with cleansing our own. hearts from evil. Let us be content at first with dr' 'd 1, Each mail .3in g . our 'duty, with being goon, rather than :seeming serviceable, and then in our own place God will make us the means of blessing others ; and as our power of increasing the radius of our influence for good will extend, who will say that 'the world is not made better by one man regenerated and turned to God. And so from man to man, from, indi vidual to individnal,museextend the world's qgeneration. - Eich man bears . a share of the responsibility, and' the''whole will never''be changed until each ato m. that goes to make the whole be changed. Can you have a perfect nation made of wandering' tribe ? Cau you haVe a granite mountain made of the soft clay ? A granite mountain is.made up of atoms Which are of granite; So the wor ld must: be made men , pure of themselves. These English hearts of ours must be changed to the will of God ; and the nations of the earth must carry out this policy of justice and truth, to achieve this great object. Each man must receive into his own heart the same principles, and be actuated by the same t ru ths. Let us not look greedily outward, but scattering inward good will. Let us act well our part here, and be sure the result.is no phantasm. Sh un ev il an d d o goo d ; and at length when man, imitating that Saviour that came down from heaven, when his home becomes a feature of heaven, and he walking secure in that daily duty, practising principles of justice, truth, and integrity, and as nation after nation learns to see that the goodness of men are only customs, and are led to acknowledge the „. • _ . great governing King, so the day will "come when the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord and his grace, and he shall reign for ever and ever.

No*, without or -in any way interfering. with the note issues of these banks, except so. far as to declare them to be non-legal tender, and to be issued for sums of not less than £5 and upwards, payable to the bearer or holder:of them on demand. It would tend to place our currency on a sounder basis, If these banks and their customers would have their legal tender notes, as they now . do their pounds sterling; issued from one source only, viz., the Royal Mint—because,. as these . Royal Mint notes and coins would be primarily issued in the payment of the public expendi ture, as ordered by- the House of Commons, and in the purchase of standard gold bullion, at- its market or world wide price they could not be issued in excess of their legitimate circulation—so long as the public expenditure should not be in excess of the public revenue, from which. it was' necessarily defrayed. Every tub would stand on its own bottom, and Whether a hank issued its own bearer notes or not, that - bank, would have to keep' in its till an adequate and available reserve of pounds sterling or Royal Mint notes; into which alone its non-legal tender notes would be legally convertible, the bearer notes. ; ;of the Royal Mint being issued for sums of -£s' and upwards, and its exchequer • notes as described in your paper of . the 9th.. instant, for sums of one pound and .upwards. -Thus we should have free trade in bearer notes as fully as we lave free trade in corn, and banks generally would be chary of extending their issues beyond the legitimate requirements of the district wherein their notes were accustomed to circulate.

Why is there this differeucc between religious faith and practice ?
