CHRISTIANITY AND WAR.

Look at an army in the hour of battle. See
attacks and retreats batallions annihlated, COM
maniers falling, Shouts of onset. groans of death,
horses tramphng the fallen, limbs flying in the
air, suffocat;ng smoke, laundering artillery thou
sands smarting in the agony of death. and none

Christianity authorize such scene! Would such
an exhibition ever grow out of its legitimate ef-
fectsi-ChristiGn ReUietr.
A scene far more awful than this GER
ainly is authorised by Christianity. and
will "grow out of its legitimate effects )"
a scene which will call to suffering, not
only the hardy soldier, but human beings
OF every age, sex and condition-nale
and female, the lame. the sick, the blind.
the deaf the aged and the infant Even
the grave shall be no hiding place from
its demands. The dust shall be gathered
up, and the mummy shall be terminated,
and the power OF feeling pain shall be re-
stored to them. And they shall be swept
of, millions on millions, into the lake OF
fire, burning with birthstone, where their
worm shall not die, neither shall their
fire be quenched, but the smoke of their
torment shall ascend up for ever and ev-
er. And no one engaged in bringing
this to pass will shrink from his task, but
all will perform their appointed parts with
aacrity, and shout over the sight of this
vast destruction, Hallelujah, for the Lord
God omnipotent reignethl Neither, while
thus engaged, will they be impeled by
any sinful passion, nor will any unholy
thought or feeling have place in their

THE FIRE HE'LL.

When fire breaks out in any part of
the City, and the fre-bell gives the alarm,
how the inhabitants of that neighbor-
hood are stirred up, all in CONSERVATION
and full of hustle; every one fearing that
has house, or some other house near him
is on fire. What dread and horror pre-
vail The sound of the bell awakens the
drowsy and sleeping: they jump out of
bed, looking through the windows. asking
every person they see, "lcheTe IS the fire /?
,chcre IS the fire!
But alas, alas! how many have been
warned by Gods faithful servants; who
have cried aloud, and have not spared,
and lifted up their voice like a trumpet,
in giving the alarm that sinners are in
danger, but had reason often to say "Who
hath BELIEVED our report and to whom is
the arm of the Lord revealed" Some
Of Gods Boanerges have rung the ten
/ fire bells of SINAI, and have clapped and
Numbered the thunderings of Gods LaiC
in mems ears, and have warned them to
flee from the wrath to come, and yet thou
sands have been deaf as stones, until they
sunk into the eternal abyss, where they
lifted up their eyes in torment, crying 1--WE
are tormented in this fame !"
Sinner, thou hast fire-bell in Thy Boz
som. which l call conscience-bep, and
there is a communication between thy
conscience and God. as a string or wire,
and when thou doest any thing that is
wrong, God rings the bell, and the horror
and remorse which thou dost feel after

there is fire kiHdting acithin thy house,
therefore, pray that the Holy Spirit may
bring the fire engine of has grace, and

TnE TELronArn.--Tho eleventh volume
commences under auspices more favorable
than have attended The commencement Of
any preceding volume. There is nothing
new, peculiar, or accidental, by which il is
taking any sudden or uncommon stride, just
now, in the way Of prosperity. But the
coming-on is constantly little more than
the falling-off; and with this there is in
creasing evidence that its present patrons
and friends are fully resolved to standby,
sustain and assist, N the battle against all
Sin.
My gratitude Us more than can express,
for the patience and forbearance of friends,
hitherto. ALI can promise for the future
Is, what can be done with the same head
and heart and hands, with the aid of expert
ence. Brethren and friends, pray for me
Pray that may feel more the overwhelm-

publisher of religious paper in the nine
teenth century-lhat may have more OF
"the wisdom that is from above,'' more
meekness, more patience, more .orbearance,
more humility, more love for souls, more de-
votion to the cause Of truth and righteous
ness, in word, more Of the mind and heart
that were in Christ.

From various accounts in the Montreal

are to be tried for murder at the Assizes

patriots threaten to come over and rescue
them"
1t was reported in Montreal yesterday
in well informed circles, we understand
that two Regiments of British regulars
will Immediately be placed on the Maine
frontier, to watch the movement Of the
Americans.
