THURSDAY Jan. 81.
Mr. SMITH, of Indiana, presented n petition,
numerously signed by citizens OF Evansville, lndi-
ana nraving Congress to establish hospital at that
place.
The petition shows the fitness Of Evansville as
point for a hospital, Tor the benefit OF the commerce
of the States OF Illinois and Indiana, in striking
light II states that over 10000 persons annually
land at that point from the Ohio river, who reside
in those States; that least 1000 fiat boats go out of
the Wabash and White rivers, laden with produce
for the lower markets, annually: that the number
is rapidly ncreasing that two-thirdS OF the hands
from these boats land on their return at that place,
many Of them bringing diseases from New Or
leans, and Other places, which render them unable
to proceed to their homes.
Mr.. s said, on his notion Evansville had been in
serted in the resolution of inquiry on this subject
He was well satisfied OF the necessity Of hospital
at that point He asked that the petition might be
referred 10 the committee to which that resolution
was directed. The petition was so referred.
Mr.. SMITH also presented Joint resolution OF the
General Assembly Of Indiana, praying aid in the
construction of the New Albany and Mount Carmel
Railroad which, on his motion, was ordered TO be
printed.
Memorials and petitions wore further presented,
viz.
BY Mr.. SEWER; Resolutions of the Legislature
Of Arkansas, in relation 10 the establishment of the
line between Texas and our Government. Also for
an appropriation for completing The improvement of
the river ArkanSaS Also for completing the road

mington, North Carolina, asking lighthouse be-
tween Cape Fear and Campbell island

Jealousy that the people entertained Of

God. But now this jealousy has in a
great measure died away; and they have
built district chapels, 10 which the natives
repair from the surrounding villages in
large numbers. As a natural conse-
quence of this the wars and outrapes of
all kinds which heretofore prevailed
among them are now of very rare occur

upwards, had borne the most deadly ha.

reconciled; they have converted their
weapons of slaughter into fails and sick

followers, they peacefully vie with each

these reconciled chiefs, the Missionary

POSTURE IN PRAYER.

POSTURE IN PRAYER.
Brother Murray noticed in your paper
Of the 18th Of January, piece taken from
the N. Y. Baptist Register, under the head,
"Posture in Prayer''-also another from the
Christian Waterman, on the same subject,
both of which have failed TO bring testi-
mony from the Bible in support Of any
posture Of the body in prayer. 1t is sur
prising 10 me that two religious Editors
should make use of so many words, without
conveying instruction to their readers, on
the all important subject Of prayer. readily
admit that, under certain circumstances, if
The heart be right prayer is acceptable TO
God, let the attitude of the body be what it
may. For we are commanded TO "pray
without ceasing." In this unceasing prayer,
the attitude Of the body will necessarily be
various; but in the public congregation, we
have the example of Christ and the print
tive saints. l cannot so trtie with the
posture Of the body, as to say that when
ministers pray long will sit with my head
leaning on the pew, and when they pray
short will staud. This believe is tri-
fling with the worship of God.

% We suppose the Bible too will be found
as safe guide as can be adopted, in regard
10 what is most in accordance with our
associations and feelings" From this sen
tence. the reader must conclude that if he
feels to keel, the scripture warrants that
or if he feels TO stand, or sit, the scripture
warrants that also.
Let us hear these Editors again: "Cer-
sainlY no scripture authority, either precept
or example, can be found 10 support the
practice of leaning the head on the pew
Is there not as much authority for leaning
the head on the pew, as there is for stand
ing-except where the Pharisee stood and
thanked God that he was not~as other men
&c? Probably he was then in the posture
the Publican was. I do not pretend we
have any command for kneeiing in prayer
but will bring few texts TO show tina
kneeling has been the practice of the PEG
pie Of God, in every age. Kings, viii, 81
Sand it was SO that when Solomon ha
made an end Of praying all his prayer an
supplication unto the Lord, he arose from
