WRITTEN SERMONS.

A while ago, • party of British travellers, among
whom there were no lees than three prosperous cler-
gymen of the Church of England, were making a
long passage through the desert, from Cairo to Jeru-
salem. They followed on the track of the Israelites,
tea they believed, and in week days they read, and
lansulted, and explored, and were full of in-
terest about that sacred old history. On
Sundays they stopped, for at least half the
day, to have service in the largest of the tents. On
the first Sunday one of the clergymen preached a
sermon, old, and wholly irrelevant—subtle, and yet
superficial—abstract, and yet anything but elevating.
'lre was not a word in the discourse, nor a tone in
the mother, which met the real desire of every
heart present for some reference to the place and
eireumstances in which they were. Oa the next
Sunday the other two divines excused themselves
hem plumbing, on the ground that they had no mer-
le:Me with them. "Can't you speak to us ? " asked
we of the laity. "In such a place as this, have you
nothing to say to as that our hearts are thirsting to
bear ?" The cold reply was that extempore preach-
ing is not allowed by the Church of England ; and
that it was impossible to write • sermon in the de-
sert. Yet this same man wrote an ample journal;
and the party were not a congregation, but a tentful
Ideseerallea—a family, as it were, in the desert. The
termer premier read again the old sermon; and so
ha did, he the same reasons, on a third Sunday.
