have had some peculiar opportunities
of ascertaining what views are entertain
ed by the friends of peace; and the fol-
lowing points, common to them all, will
show how far they are agreed, and how
wide field is open before them for con-
sistent and harmonious cooperation.
|. We deem eoGr impossible ecithout

regard the custom itself as in all cases
highly ofensire to God This point, tho
now conceded by most persons under the
light of the gospel, has for fifteen centu-
ries been practically denied by nations
calling themselves Christian; and not one
disciple of Christ in thousand has any
adequate conception of the adherence
with which war, as a mass of guilt and
misery, is viewed by God of infinite
purity and love.
2. Nations ought tOregu1ate their treat
saent Of each other By the principles of
Christianity. These principles were de-
signed for all mankind; they are as ap-
plicable to one class of persons as to an
other, as obligatory upon communities as
upon individuals; and we ask no more
than strict and universal application Of
the gospel to the intercourse of nations,
This position is not new. Grotius,
Vattel, and all writers on the Ian of ma
tons, profess to take Christianity, as
commonly understood, for the basis of
their systems; and it would therefore
seem as if we have only to ascertain Aoac
the gospel requires individuals to treat
each other. This aoould be the only point
of inquiry, were we consistent with our
selves; but on this subject, most writers,
after starting with correct principles, soon
forget their own premises, and reason
just as if nations were absolved from the
universal obligations of Christianity, and
at liberty to peTpetrate atrocities for which
individuals would deserve the severest
punishments

Interpretation of Scripture on few points;

agreed in receiving the gospel as the

principle will in the end rescue the world

that h0re stained the annals of oar aoOrld
No war of pride or jealousy, of avarice

MINIsTERs-CHURcHEs.-The late
Dr. Payson of this city, shortly before his
settlement here, visited the church in
North Andover, Mass, then in want of
pastor. But they seem to have discover
ed nothing inviting in the servicesof Mr..
Payson. He remained but one Sabbath,
and of that day, he says in his Journal,
Il had little assistance in preaching, and
pleased neither the people nor myself"
His biographer says, his preaching was
not regarded with favor 10 Andover.-
This incident may furnish caution to
churches. Let them be careful how they
slight ministerial gifs-they may be put
ting away from themselves pearls that are
above all price. 1t should also Suggest to
ministers the reflection that they should
not give way to dependency, though in
some places they please neither them
selves nor the people: Perhaps their
Master intends them for some other, and
it may be, for some more important field
of labor.-Zion's AdrOeate.

If any apology is due to the readers of
the Telegraph for this communication, it
must be found in the importance of the
subject Of which it treats. 1t is presumed
that no one will question the importance of
ministerial education; much less the pro-
priety Of it. The time has been when both
were graVely debated. At present they are
so generally admitted, that any argument to
substantiate them, might seem to be wholly
uHcalled for. But while all admit the
necessity Of some mental training in min
lister, there Is diversity of opinions as to
the amount. Now suppose that no par
ticular standard can be set up, by which to
decide when a man is educated. Men Of
all degrees of education can be useful in
the church, If their hearts are sufficiently
engaged in the work. There is abundan
opportunity for all to labor in the vineyard
