RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
Christ Cruciaed.

When the apostles wen, forth to convert
the world, what was the foundation and
end of their preaching? Simply Christ,
and him crucifed; preaching, which to
the Jews was stumbling block, and to
the Greeks foolishness, but unto them that
were called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ

toHouCe OF all:4 All the tendencies of the
prayer-meetlng are to soften the asperities OF
our nature, and to promote christian sympa-
thy and love. .~...... a.. ...s... 49,.
40 hdre an Interesting conference, two
things especially are necessary. First-We
must come together with the love of Christ
IN our own souls. 1t will not do 10 bring
false IRE TO the altar of social prayer. Unless
christians enjoy the Savior's presence before
gong into the conference, the hour employed
there will be tedious and irksome. You may
hear two persons speak differently of the
same meeting. The reason is, the mind of
the one was fitted by previous devotional
exercises for enjoyment, the other not
When Moses came out from the presence
OF the Lord his face shone. He had seen
the glory CT the Lord, and his very features
reflected that glory. Let the christian come
from communion with God into the prayer
meeting, and he will both be interested
himself and interest others. Carrying the
warmth Of genuine devotion in his own
heart, he will communicate something OF
that warmth to others. .~. ~
We must go into the conference with.
not only the love of Christ in our hearts,
but the burthen of sinners resting on our
souls. We must have an erraLd in meeting
the brethren, and that. errand must be-, to
thof fhn rrIo Of CoI
be manifested in the conversion Of sinners.
Let US remember, when with our brethren
we go to the house Of prayer, how many
we have left behind, and who they are
Perhaps parent, Or child, or companion, OF
friend, is making his way TO perdition. The
great mass Of immortal mind around US is
going darkly into eternity with the accu
mulated guilt Of life unrepented of and un.
forgiven. o, there is enough in their con,
dition to rouse US to wrestle in prayer.
Brethren Of the Association, what is the
condition of your prayer-meetings2 What
is the value set on it, and what the attend
ance it receives? Can you see by the in
creasing fervor of the prayers offered, by the
ripeness of the experience told, and by the
soundness OF the sentiments expressed, that
it is powerful means of good to the churchi
Or is the same thing told by the same few
brethren from month to month and from
year to year? We have long regarded the
conference and prayer-meeting as an accu.
rate thermometer for estimating the devo-
ton, intelligence and piety of the church.
We are painfully apprehensiVe of gen,
eral neglect of these meetings through the
Association. Our churches have not been
blessed with extensive revivals during the

have not 1Urestled together, as they ought

and for others by means Of the social prayer
meeting, and, keeping in mind the gracious
assurance of oar Master, "where two o
three are gathered together in my name
there am in the midst of them," let u
henceforth, by more constant attendanc
ON the conference, and by deeper persona

DIR. WEBsTER's AMENDED EDITION
OF THE B1BLE.-We have received from
Tappan s. Dennet, of this city, neat
pocket edition of the Bible in the Com
mon Version with amendments of the
language, by Noah Webster, LII. d.
The design of DR.. Webster in this under
taking, was to present an edition Of the
Bible without those blemishes which give
pain to many readers of the common ver-
sion. These blemishes. it should be re-
membered are no part of inspiration, nor
are they chargeable on the original writers
Of the Scriptures. The English transla,
tors of king James Bible are the only
persons accountable for them, but inzmany
cases they are to be attributed to the chang,
es of language lone.
The emendations, DR.. w. informs US,
in his preface. have been confined to three
points, viz. the substitution of words and
phrases now in good use for such as have
become absolete, the correction of errors
in grammar, and the insertion of eupnem.
sms in place of words which, though in
good use at the time when our version
was made, are now offensive to delicacy
These amendments of the literature Of
the Bible are almost wholly confined to
mere matters of taste, which in no way
effect the sense of the sacred volume
Very rarely has the|meaning Of the COM
mon translation been varied even where
commentators are agreed that it does not
express that of the original
So far as ouI examination has extended
DR.. w. has adhered to these principles,
and we have found it pleasant to use his
edition even in connection with the com
mon version at family devotions, and others
have doubtless done the same. The feel
ings of no Christian can be disturbed, We
presume, by the substitution of soho fol-
aohach, when it relates to persons, to tol
into, sOhy for aoheretore, thy for thine
ssGty for three-scGre, demons for deciIs
Sc. &c. although it may sound dif1eren
from the received version. 1t should al
ways be remembered that the meaning 0
the Bible is the BlbIe-that is, the mean
ing of the Hebrew and Greek originals
We shall be happy to see DR.. Webster
edition in more general use.-Ch Watch

CuNGRESS.

There seems to be disposition in Congress to
90 to busiLess forwiih. MIR. Clay has moved for
Select Committee on the Currency in the Senate.
and from him, as Chairman, mny look for an
exposition Of the state of the country, which will
reouud to the fame and talents of the gifted author,
if such thing can be possible. The Secretary OF
the Treasury in bis report has recommended Ma
tional Bank, as fiscal sgeni of the Government,
as also for the purpose of regulating the Currency
and Exchanges of the country. Indeed, it is gen
orally conceded, that Bank will be incorporated
during the present session of Congress. A motion
has also been made in both ii uses, for the repeal
of the sub-Treasury.
As an earnest OF a desire conhne the action Of
both Houses to such subjects as had rendered ihe
converting Of Congress necessary, Mr.. Clay submit
tod, on Tuesday last, the following resolutions
Rssoived in the opinion Of the Senate, at the
present session of Congress, no business ought 10
be transacted but such, being of an important
and urgent nature. may be supposed to have in
auenced the extraordinary convention of Congress,
or such that the posporcment of it might be
materially detrimental to the public interests.
Resolved, therefore, in the opinion OF the Sem
ale that the following subjects ought FIRST, if not
exclusively, to engage the deliberations of Con-
gress the present session, viz
Ist. The repeal of the Sub-Tressury.
Cd. The Incorporation OF Bank adapted to the
wants of the people and of the Government
81. The provision Of an adequate revenue for
the Government BY the imposition of duties, and
including an authority TO contract temporary
loan, lessen the public debt created by the las,
| Administration.
Alb. The prospective distribution Of the Pre- ceeds
of the public lands.
9Th. The passage of necessary appropriation
bills.
9th. Some modification of the banking system OF
the District of Columbia, for the benefit of The peo-
pie OF the District.
Resotped, That it is oxredient to distribute the
business proper 10 be done at this session, between
the Senate and House of Representatives, SO as tc
allow of both Houses acting the same subject al

Which may be regarded new one, that recon-

the embarrassing fluctuations to which the curfen-

feature and that Is its brevity, which will insure il
