PROSPECTUS i S

SOUTHERN PREACHER.
"HE Editor of tho Biblical Recorder propo
IL ses to publish monthly periodical, of 81
pages octavo neatly stitched and covered, con-
tanning Sermons by living authors, and adapted
to the state of our churches in the South. Des.
titute as we arc in the Southern States of preach
ing, and of preachers, it has been thought that
publication, such as proposed, containing ap-
proved discourses on doctrinal and practical sub.
subjects would be found both acceptible and
useful to the religious public. And as the
thing has been repeatedly suggested by judicious
friends, we have concluded to adopt this method
of ascertaining the wishes of our brethren &c.
nerally on the subject Should the proposed
work 90 into effect as it can interfere in no way
with any of our religious newspapers, we shall
expect to see it circulate freely through the
Southern States. 1t will be commenced as soon
as a sufficient number of subscribers shall be OBJ
tanned, and continued as long as circumstances
shall require. Twelve numbers will make
volume, which may be conveniently bound and
preserved.
TERMS.-For single copy, 81 per annum !;
for copies sent to one address, IS; for l3 CO.
pies to one address, $40; and for 26 copies to
one address, S20-.Payment to be made within
three months from the time of freceiving the first
number, otherwise, 25 per cent. will be added to
the advance price.
Baptist Ministers, Postmasters, and response.
bic persons generally, who may feel disposed.
are requested 10 act as local agents, and to mako
their returns as soon as practicable. Editors
with whom we exchange in the South, will con.
fer favor, by giving the above few insertions

PROPOSED BIBLE CONVENTION.
A Circular prepared By direction Of the Charles
ton Bible Society.

A Circular prepared By direction o. the CndfteS-
ton Bible Society.
CuARLEsros, May 1897.
Sir:-Thc Managers of The Charleston Bible
Society, have appointed the undersigned, com.
mittee to prepare and send forth Circular, lnvl-
tirg the several Bible Societies in the State to
unite with them by their delegates, in Conven-
ton, to be held at Columbia, on Tuesday the 9th
December 1897.
The objects to be secured by such Conven.
ton. are to ascertain what has been done IN this
State for the last four or five years in giving
circulation to the Bible; what facts may be col.
lected, which will throw light upon our yet re.
naming destitutions; whether it is eXpedient, 10
engage simultaneously in resupplying the State
with the Word of Life upon = plan SIMILAR to
that which was agreed upon in Columbia, seVerai
years ago: and ifso, by what means and by what
agencies the plan can be most fully and thor
ou ghly, and jcdiciously carried into effect, SO
that our entire reading population, nave ireo ac-
cess 10 copies of the Holy Scriptures in their
own possession. And finally to deliberate upon
any other subject connected with the diffusion
of the Bible, whether at homo or abroad, IN
Christian or in heathen lands.
The general fact is known, that districts OF
country, which have beon thoroughly supplied
ono wear nave COUldluco OCoIiloeo
he next; and what is true of one district Is true
of all the rest, as the causes operate to Gre
ate the want. viz: the formation Of new families,
the immigration Of others, and the wearing out OF
the Bibles themselves. In most cases where a
resupply has been undertaken, after an interval
of four or five years, the destitution has been
found full half as great as at the period OF the
original supply. and in some cases greater, from
the causes already assigned. We allude to this
fact because it was one Of the principal motives
which induced the Managers ofthe Charleston
Bible Society to propose convention.
The Committee regard it as superfluous to urge
the subject upon your consideration by any fur
ther remarks, as all the reasons for Convention
which we could submit, must be familiar to your
mind. All that we have SO solicit, is, that you
would call the attention Of your society 10 INC
proposition, that should they deem 1t exponent
delegates may be appointed to represent your d.
ciety in the Convention. :,
We have the honor to subscribe ourselves -,

The Hartford Watchman, itself Congrc-
gatianal paper, makes the following among
remarks upon the proceedings above referred
to.
IfPresbyerians feel that they can 60 for
ward most comfortably by themselves, on
the ground of their denomnational prlncl.
ciples,tney have perfect right to say so, d
we see not why others should complain
Do not all denominations Of Christians
claim this privilege? And we do hope
there is good sense enough in the Congre-
gational churches not 10 make themselves
ridiculous in this matter. For what would
they have? lfthey wish to be Presbyter.
ians in good faith, why not enter by the pro.
per door, and be such in a regular way?-
lfthcy do not wish to be Presbyterians, but
choose to remain Congregationalists, why
do they wish to borrow the name of their
ncighbors, or force themselves upon a
community to which they are not accepta-
ble7 Ifthey wish to retain Congregation
al principles, what have they to do with the
General Assembly OF the Presbyterian
church, any more than with the General
Conference ofthe Methodist church?
The case of Abraham and Lot appears
10 US 10 be fair illustration Of the present
separation, at least in several respects.
These patriarchs seem to have separated
amicably, but the motive was the greater
promotion ofpeace. They could not cor.
tinue longer together without continual dan.
ger Of strife. Blu, supposing that Lot had
refused to 60, and insisted upon it that he
would at all hazards continue in the family
of Abraham, on the ground of some old
compromise, which might have done we'll
enough in the day of it, but was, in other
circumstances, found 10 work Mischief
and Abraham had felt himself constrain.
ed to declare publicly that he and Lot
were two persons with different names, and
that he chose, from prudential consldera-
tons, to take care of his own affairs in his
own way-would it have been proper for
Lot to talk about guillotine being applI.
ed 10 him, or the amputating knife, or 10
call Abraham prosecutor, who was gov
erned only by lust of domination.
But after all the matters and things which
come upin connexion with this subject to
divert attention from the main point, it is
not TO be forgotten Or concealed, that the
cause of all these difficulties must be found
in those errors in doctrine and practice which
have for sometime been spreading a.
mong the Congregationalsts and which
render them suspicious and dangerous to all
their neighbors.

enabled US in some measure to remove
from our body the most prominent sources
of division and strife, humble ourselves
before God, and call upon all our brethren,
everywhere, with US 10 seek and pray
without ceasing, for those reviving and
converting influences of the Holy Spirit,
which alone can render any church what it
ought to be-a real blessing to the world,
and nursery for heaven. And while we
earnestly desire and implorc this blessing, let
us remember the great importance o!dis.
.inguishing between genuine reviva's of
religion and those which are spurious and
fanatical. The former arc the product OF
gospel truth, impressed on the heart and
conscience by the Holy Spirit Of Cod
The latter arc mere excitemen:s of natura!
feeling, produced either by error, or some
other form of human machinery. In pro.
portion as the former prevail, the church is
prosperous and happy. The latter. how
ever arrogant in claim, or plausible IN ap-
pearance, are only fitted TO send blight on
the garden Of the Lord, and to deceive and
destroy the souls of men. We fear that
not little of that which has assumed the
precious name ofRevivals, in various parts
Of our bounds. is of this latter description.
This lameptable fact, however, creates no
prejudice in our minds against genuine re-
vivals of religion. 1t rather excitcs us to
desire and long for them with more ardor;
to pray for them with more importantly: to
promote them with moro care, by an edlty-
ing example; and guard against all coun'
terieits with more enlightened vigilance.
