relates the following anecdote - When the
body of Commodore Decatur was placed in
the vault Of Mr.. Barlow, (now Col. BON
iord's,) at Kaorama and when the multi.
tude which accompanied the funeral had
dispersed, he observed a solitary individual,
in sailor dress, lingering near the place.
He walked up to him, and asked him
what he wanted, the sailor replied " that
he only wished to look while at the place
where they had laid tho main mast OF the
Navy" and walked of. Who could have

the Great Shepherd had nothing further for
me to do, either in the pastoral Office or in
preaching the word at large. This exercise
of mind, though exceedingly painful Tor

of divine influence, to render minister sa-

scending kindness of God, in that he gives

do not appear to be naturally alive and

They are in the midst of temptations every

against other things-agains: poverty, sick.

describes to be kind Of watchful sleep !;
and when the Word of God summons the
world to salvation by Christ, he says
Awake thou that sleepest ,and arise from the

Remarks on the inattention of many to attend
public Dorship, and impropriety Of con-
duct Of some at church.
The great neglect Of public Worship is
an usual topic Of complaint. Ministers lay
the blame on the people, the people on the
Ministers. Probably the blame ought to be
divided between both. The true secret of
filling place Of worship is the art of ma
king the place scat Of pleasure and hapPl.
ness to the people. Some attention should
be paid to the house, that hearers may haz-
ard nothing in their health. Great heats
and excessive colds, damps and dangerous
draughts of air should be prevented. The
assembly should be so sodisposed as be freed
from the incommodiousness of being crow
ded. The worship itself should be so con.
Quoted as to interest all; zeal and prudence
must direct it. The vile tubs, that we call
pulpits, which bury man alive, and betray
him into a thousand unnatural gestures, Of
ten provoking the contempt of the people,
should be exchanged for light, low and de-
cent rostrums. Above all, the minister,
who officiates, should excel in all Office
qualifications, in modcsty, zeal, humanity,
energy and so on. The horrid habit of
sleeping in some is force of infinite pain
to others, and damps, more than any thing
else, the vivacity of a preacher. Constant
sleepers are public nuisances, and deserve
to be expelled a religious assembly, to which
they are constant disgrace. There are
some, who have regularly attended place
of fworship for seven years twice day, ana
vet have not heard one whole sermon in all
the time. These dreamers arc a constant
distress to their preachers, and, could sober
reasoning operate on them, they would soon
be reclaimed. In regard to their heath,
would any but stupid man choose such n
place to sleep in? In respect to their char
acter, what can be said for him, who IN
his sleep sometimes snores, starts and talks,
rendering himself ridiculous to the very chill
drcn in the place? Where is his prudence,
when he gives such occasion 10 malicious
persons to suspect him of gluttony, drunk
cnness, laziness and other usual causes OF
sleeping in the daytime? Where is his breed
ing? He ought to respect the company
present; what an offensive rudeness 10 sit
down and sleep before them! Above all,
where is his piety and fear of God?. There
will come Il time in the existence of this
wretched drone, in which he will awake
and find the Philistines furnishing the idler,
who was shorn in his sleep!
Ministers have tried number o(methods
to rid assemblies of this odious Practice
Some have reasoned, some have spoken
louder, some have whispered, some have
threatened to name the sleeper, and have ac-
tually named him, some have cried fire.
some have left preaching, DR.. Young sat
down and wept, Bishop Abbot took out his
testament and read Greek. Each ofthese
awaked the auditors for the time: but the
destruction of the habit belongs to the sleeper
himself; and if neither reason nor religion
can excite him, he must sleep on, till death
and Judgment awake him lid.

STYLE OF PREACHING.

Mr.. Rollin says, obscurity is generally
occasoncd by a style too concise and 9TH
ers have observed many other causes of o.
scurity, among which they place very COM
mon one, a jingling of words, a multitude
Of tnkling sounds which one describes and
rcproves thus )" it is q rein Of rain preach
ing, turning sound preaching into sound
of preaching: tickling mems cars like a
hnkHng cymbal, feeding them, spelling the
plain song with discant and division," &c.
Bishop Burnct, after much on the same
subject, says, /" a preacher is to fancy HIM
self as in the room of the most unlearned
man in the uIole parish, and must therefore
put such parts of his discourses as he would
have all understand, in so plain form OF
words, that it may not be beyond the mean-
est of them. This he will certainly study
to do, if his desire is TO edify them rather
than to make them admire himself as u
learned and high.spoken man." Past.

MANNER OF DELIVERY.
An English writer on this subject, OBJ
serves, "Therc are tuo extremes in the
roice. The one is a drarhing du(lneSs,
which shews unconcernedness and want of
zeal. The other is a boisterous noise,
which argues rudeness, and want Of NODES
ty and manners. There are also t,oo ex-
tremes in action. Some are mimical, fam
tastical, and violent this is rude and irrev-
erent. Others stand like images, and
preach without any motion at all; this is
stupid and unnatural. Motion should be
grave, decent, free, natural, moderate and
s suitable, without distortion, constraint, or
afectation. All rules of preaching are re-
ducible to four heads. 1t should be PLAIN,
practical, naethodical, afectionate."
GmnrRs Essay on Preaching, part l..
The intention of preaching must be to
change the heart by Informing the Judgment.
This was what the old English divlnes of
piety called the best preaching, savoury
truth, wholesome matter, spiritual doctrine
sound, powerful, searching preaching and
great encomums they Justly bestowed on
ministers. who prefer this before the more
