ly One, uttering his sublime discourse from the
mountain-sde in the wilderness Of Galilce, obtain
hearingz Can the minister of Christ obtain a
hearing as he echoes THAT voice, and repeats the
admonition-Lay not ,p for yourselves treasures
upon earth; bst lay up for yourselves treasures IN
heaven. Can we persuade men even to look at
heaven, to whom this world isso attractive and so
absorbing? Are not these divine teachings looked
upon as Anticipated, and no longer adapted to the
advanced civilization of this practical enterprsins
ages Can the pulpit stem this current of worness
thatrushes and rears against its sidesg Can the
Gospel reach men who have come to the. church
fresh from the reading of the Sunday newspapers
or the dispatches of the Sunday steamer, and whose
heads are filed with calculations Of the price OF
stocks or the state Of the markets--men with whom
the business of the week past and the business for
the week to come, overlap each other, so as to COW
er the thoughts and associations proper to the Sab
bath? Must we not wait for some commercial re-
vulsion, some widespread disaster that shall teach
men the vanity of earthly good, before can hope
any thing from the lessons of the pulpit on this
subject? Nay, nay; never were those lessons more
upon the minister of Christ to cry aoud, that his
voice may be heard above the din of wordliness;
never was it so imperative upon Christians to show
that they are not Of the world. Enterprise they
too must have; diligence IN business; earnestness in
their everyday work; hut with al this spirit of
high devotion to Christ and his cause consecrating
to the blessed work Of the worlds renovation the
enterprise and the talent and the success that God
has given them in the business of the world Christs
law must go with all this enterprise, and appro-
pirate all this success. And this it will vet do if
Christs friends are faithful.

A Novrl Pnosrlcu1Ios.-A gentleman at Green

A Novel PRosEcuTIoS.-A gentleman at Green
Farms, Conn, lately left the Methodist and joined
the Congregational church. In his new place of
worship, says the Springfield Republican, he found
1t difficult to repress those outbursts of religious
feelings which were allowable with the sect he had
left and quite often guilty of the impropriety
of speaking out in meeting" TO the great annoy
ance Of his new brethren. He was labored with
affectionately upon the subject, but it was of no
use; the occasional "Amenlp and "Glory to God1
would slip out in spite of his teeth. He was final
ly prosecuted for shouting 'Glory to Gody' under
the inhuence Of stirring discourse. -, - p

THE MINISTEr's TEAIs.-Ncarly forty years
ago attended church one Sabbath and saw
stranger in the pulpit There was something be-
nevolent and kind in his appearance, and he spoke
with an carnestness to which had not been accus-
toned. His text was, What will We do in the
end thereof?" did not pay much attention TO
the introduction and forepart Of the discourse but
at length | saw the tears running down his cheeks
and fixed my attention. 1t was the first sermon |
ever was interested in. | do think that had I not
seen those tears, might have gone home without
benefit. l saw that the preacher felt the impor-
tance of his subject. And as he brought up all
classes of sinners to the trial of the word of God
he dismissed each with those solemn words. "al d
what will We do in the end thereof" How often
have | thought of those tears. He sowed that Cay
in tears, and precious harvest followed, and over
eighty were gathered Into the church And even
now the good old man ministers to the same flock
he then did, and as often as / see his name seem
to his form in the pull pit as it then was, with
| the tears on bis cheeks. And as long as | live j
shall have an affectOnate remembrance of him.
Such tears, redaer, not shed in vain, nor are
| they easily forgotten Oh that there was more oI
this sowing in tears; we insight then hope to see
| joyous harvest. There is surely enough to cause
them. And do we understand any of the feeling
which causes them to flow over dying sinners? i
not, have we the spirit of our Divine Master? /:
it--can it be called weakness to shed tears in th
case? If they are proper anywhere it is here
Surely we might well say with the weeping prophet
+" Oh, that my head were waters, and mine eyes (
fountain of tears, that might weep day and nigh
for the slain of the daughter of my people"

Devotion to God.

"In devotng ourselves to God we give him all
we have; or rather we acknowledge We are but
stewards of his treasure, the husbandmen of his
vineyard. Our pursuits then are sanctifed; their
uprightness secared aud the proper disposition of
all we acquire; we agree to use all as he directs,
subjects to his scrutinizing eye ID
There are too few instances Of this devotion, yet
we are not without them. In the Southern part
of Africr stands noble mounlent of the truth and
practcability of this principle. A Lazar house
was some years since erected there for the misera-
lie victims of the Leporasy. 1t was enclosed
with a large space of ground, by high wall and
any one afflicted with this disease was obliged to
enter the enclosure, never TO leave it, here they
died by slow degrees, sundered from the outer
world and the kindness which even savage life
can bestow. Two of these unfortunate beings
have been seen at their work. one deprived by
disease, of his hands carrying on his back anoth-
er who had lost his feet the latter had bag from
which be dropped peas, while the other pressed
them into the ground with his foot; two fragments
men thus doing a cliild's work. How were these
men to know anything of God, of Saviour, of
Heaven or of IIelP Two Moravian missionaries
led by divine love for souls have chosen this La
zar house as their field Of labor; they have given
their all to their Masters work; in due time he will
take them to their rest and theF reward and others
will doubtless be found to take their places Here
was entire conservation to God Selfshness could
not have done such work; WOrllliness knows
nothing of such sacrifices. Oh, if the Christian
church were all thus devoted. were indeed and in
truth consceratcd, if all the wealth of the church
was held to subserye only the will of God who be-
slows it, what diff rent world this would bel
Then wouid it be filed with the knowledge and

What less return can we make for all the love
Christ has bestowed upon us? lie is in heaven
