Long Sermons and Long Prayers.

Long Sermons and Long Prayers
Mn. EpIToR IL believe i. to be the driy of
every one 10 attend church, and believe il 10
be the duty Of those who minister. 10 make
the exercises as interesting as possible. Sing
ing, PRAYING and sermonizing are the perform
ances 10 church--of these the first two, are,
strictly speaking, devotional exercises. The
sermon is no part of divine worship. How
ever usefu! it may be to eniighen the mind
and direct us poor sinners in our weak efforts
to /" fight the good fgh' Of faith" those whose
prerogalive i. is 10 give them 10 Us from the
pulpit should remember that, however willing
The spirit may be, the flesh is sometimes uery
t0eak; that however sonnd the spiritual man be
locked in spiritual sleep, there is ininent dan.
ger that in trying 10 break this slamber, the
physical man may be mesmerized TO a physical
sleep. Why then should that part Of church
exercise, which is mol devotional, be spun
out ad ntfnitum, even until the voice Of the
preacher becomes TO the congregation like
" sounding brass, or linkIing cymbal." The
effect is to dive people away from, or keep
them from coming a. all to the church. And
The officiating clergyman is responsible.
And these long prayers! Admitting ID its
foil force The necessity Of "praying without
ceasing :" admitting that the subjects of mans
wants from his God are ten thousand times ter
thousand and thousands of thousands, the pub
lie congregation is not the place where man
is to do all his praying From the very ni-
,ure OF public devotional exercises, they must
be altogether different from private. The
Christian in his closet is alone with his GOD.
But the minister at the altar, who conducts the
visible forms Of worship, officia,es in the hear
ing and the presence of those who are led
lhiher by an innate reverence for religion and
religious ceremonies, and MOI solely to worship
their Creator. Long sermons and long prayers
never ares, the attention of this class they
exert an influence on the other par, of the con-
gregation, and thus the eyes tina, would be
closed on the world, during short prayer, will
ever and anon pop open to see what the rest
are about, and like the fools eyes, wander to
the ends Of the earth.
II is no. the longes. sermon that contains the
greatest amount of instruction. nor the longest
prayer that ascends nearest to the throne of
God There is sermon on record tina, never
can be equalled by human lips, and which, for
its breviiy, its composition, and heart.thrilIing
eloquence. is worth infinitely more to the theo-
Logan than all the essays by dvines from the
disappearance Of its author to the present day,
as a model for sermon! And there is a
prayer. too. on record, The simplest and sub.
FINEST, the brefest, yet mos, comprehensive,
plain in language. yet one that never fails to
melt the heart, that nigh, well be used by some
as a pattern. y.

upon to discharge the most important duty,
which could devolve upon you, as citizens
of a free government. The duty of casting
your vote, for or against the proposed new

which may be repealed at tine next session
of the Legislature, but for the great funda-
mental law of the land. Tie organic law
to which all Of our statutory provisions
must conform. In awold the great founda-
ton upon which our whole legal supcrstruc-
ture must be built. Let every voter then
carefully read and re-read it during the en-
suing week. Let him carefully make up
his Opinion upon the merits of the ConStitu-
ton itself, unbiased by the opinions of 9TH
erS; and let him 60 to the polls determined
to express that opinion. II upon a careful.
examination of the whole instrument he is
of opinion, that it is preferable TO the o.d
Constitution, let him vote for it; if worse,
let him vote against it. But let not his
Judgment be hastily made up from a disap-
probation Of one Objectionable feature, OF
from an over admiration of any one good
clause. Compare it as a whole, with the
old Constitution, and if it contains more OF
good and less Of Objectionable matter thar
the old, vote for it. But if on tie othe,
hand that which is Objectionable prepon.
deratcs, vote against it. Blu: be assured
that tits the duty of every citizen, as he
values his liberty, to examine the subiec'
well for himself and to vote his'own opinion
None should stay from the polls, but tn,

political questions Of the day and enforces
his views with clearness and power. His
ehort here was a very happy one, and we

been well exercised upon the subjects like

elected to a seat in the Senate. From
what we can learn he will get an enthusi-

. we learn from the Bowling-Green Jour-
nal that there was quite a storm in that
village on Tuesday night last, and that the
store of Messrs. Campbell & Waits was
struck by lighting. Some slight damage
was also done to other property.
There was a very respectable gatherin q
Of the people to hear our candidates speak
On Wednesday last. There was but little
difference Of opinion as to their views of
State policy expressed on that OCCASION
The best feeling seemed to exist between
them, and all went off smoothly. The dem
Gratis can have no cause to repent of the
choice oftheir candidates. Messrs. Minor
and Priest are both good democrats, fully
able to cope with their adversaries, and to
do justice to the aus which they have g.
spoused.
