CHRISTIANITY IN LAPLAND.-Though now it is
nearly three centuries since the Swedes began
to extend the Gospel in Lapland. it has hither-
to made little progress. The inhabitants it is
true. are profevsed Christians but their Christ
ianty is merely nominal, and among some of
them the form of it may be sought in vain
Traces of their having offered sacrifices to the
gods of their fathers are occasionally discover
ed among them. Few of them reside in the
neighborhood Of the churches; and indeed,
they seldom attend them. unless on the solemn
festivals, or at a fair, when they have the sac
raments administered to them. To insure their
attendance, they are subjected to a heavy fine
and a severe penance if they neglect the APP
pointed festivals. The clergy, such as they are
go little among them, except during their short
summers they are careful, however, to attend
the winter markets to receive their pay, and to
sell them spirituous liquors. of which they are
immoderately fond and of which, it is said
they can drink an enormous quantity without
being intoXicated.-Rer.W w. Bro,rn.
A RELIGION WHICH WILL Nor SAVE U.s.
There is religion which is too sincere for ny
pocrisy. but too transient to be profitable, too
superficial to reach the heart. too unproductive
to proceed from it. 1t is slight. but as far as it
goes not false. 1t has discernment enough to
distinguish sin. but not irmness enough to op-
pose it; conjunction enough to soften the
heart, but not vigor sufficient to reform it. 1t
lamcnts when it does wrong. and performs all
the functions Ofrepcntance of sin. except for
saking it. 1t has everything of devotion, eX-
ccpt the stability. and gives everything to reli-
gion except the heart.
This is a religion Of times events and crcum-
stances; it is brought into play by accidents.
and dwindles away with the occasion which
called it out Festivals and fasts. which occur
but seldom, are much observed. and it is to he
feared because they occur but seldom while
the great festival which comes every week,
comes too often to be respectfully treated. The
p!cty OF these people comes out much in sick
ness. but is apt to retreat as recovery approach
cs. If they die. they are placed by their adj
mircrs in the Saints Calendar if they recover,
they go back into the world they had renounc
ed, and again suspend their amendment as often
as death suspends his blow.-JMrs. II. More.
