ent, and scriptural. Formerly standing
was universal; latterly sitting with the
head inclined on the pew has been the
practice. If return to the old custom
should be adopted, we hope most sincere
ly there will be an alteration in the pray
ers Of ministers in regatd 10 their length.
They mus. be greatly abridged, or we
shall have every variety of posture imag.
Unable in our congregations, as we were
wont 10 have when they rose in PRAYER.
A person can endure the sitting posture,
with his head inclined. through the un-
scriptural prolixity of the generality Of
pulpit prayers, with liltle Inconvenience;
but to stand through many OF them in one
steady posture, without great unessiness,
requires Oh extraordinary share Of bodily
strength. Let Us, therefore, we entreal,
make no change for the present solemn
and humble attitude, exceedingly impos-
ing from lis uniformity, until ministers be-
gin TO abridge in prayer materially. And
when they do, we shall not so seriously
oppose the change.-N. Y Bap. Reg.
| We do not suppose that the church re-
'erred to, imagined there was any express
command OF Scripture, which makes any
posture essential 10 acceptable prayer. as
though the Court of Heaven prescribed
certain rules of etiqnette, which must al
ways be observed. Prayer is the language
of the heart, not the position of the body.
But we suppose reference was had 10 the
examples recorded in Scripture, which we
believe will be unifo. nlv found in favor
either of standing or kneeliug, or in in.
stances of humble and awful alteration, the
rrostraton of the body was sometimes
Practiced. We suppose the Bible. too
will be found as safe a guide as can T.
'a!GTied, in regard 10 wha: is most in &c
CJ:dancP with our associations and feel
ings Certainly no scriptural authority
, either prccept or example, can be found Il
, support the practice of leaning the heat
on tie per. Nor according TO our view
! of the matter, would this posture be favor
, able TO the cultivation of reverence or de
voIon. Suppose we We're IN the act c
I paying our highest respects TO a person c
superior rank, we should not be likely {
sit leaning on a prop. Such a position
f would be deemed disrespeclful. And thi
is the impression which the impenitent re
ceive from the incident looking practic,
, of sitting when the throne of grace is al
dressed. Besides we fear there is MUG
less devotion in those congregations i
e which sitting is prac,iced. Equal after
ton HAY for a time be given to The solem
+ confessions, supplications, and interce:

habit is induced. Another reason in f
A vor Of standing is. if we would be profile

opinions. The prosecutions of their
teacher seemed only to endear him to the
church at Salem meetings were main
tanned at his house; the Governor and
assistants, advised of the fact, despatched
to him an injunction to appear at Boston
In order to be conveyed to England. He
returned for answer that he burst not

his life would thereby be put in jeopardy.

POSTURE PRAYER.

We learn from the Christian Watch
man that large church in the vicinity of
Boston have changed their posture in pray
er. from sitting to standing. the former be-
ing deemed unscriptural. Well, let each
congregation act according to their con-
science in this matter; bu: we believe the
one posture as scriptura as the other. Let
the attitude of the heart only be right, and
we are fully persuaded the attitude of the
body will not be wrong, whether the wor-
shipper sit or stand. Ed lcation has great
influence on the mind here. When peo-
pie are brought up to stand, and this pos
ture is rigidly enjoined, sanding, alone,
will be scriptural; when they are brought
up with the same strictness 10 sit with the
head inclined on the pew, this, by such
will be deemed the most solemn, consist
