APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION.

A prominent trait in the human character
is the Importance it attaches to genealogical
descent He who can trace his pedigree
few generations back is apt to regard him
self and to be regarded by others man of
some consequence, as one descended from
nm "ancient house." This is especially the
case, when in its course the line of success.
sion exhibits tlnge of aristocratic blood,
or encounters some extraordinary parsonage
who has left an impress on the age in which
he lived; and the farther back the lineage
runs, the stronger the claim to honorable
ancestry.
In matters ecclesiastic, the same propensi-
ty is manifested, the chief difference being
that denominational is substituted for indi-
vidual claim, aud identity Of principle is
urged as the connecting medium. Hence it
is that every religious party in christen.
dom, or nearly SO, has proved conclusively,
ito itself at least its relationship to the
prominent sects which have appeared at diff
ferent ages Of the Christian era: as the
Novatians, Waldenses, &C., &C.; and also
shown as clearly that the orthodox fathers
were the opponents of its views; whilst a
number of chains Of succession through
Popes, Bishops, Church government and or
.dinances have been made to reach the
,"kers" which were committed to the fisher.
.maa of Galliee. Among the rest, the Church
with which we are associated, whilst she
diselaias all belief in the importance of the
thing, has get been at some pains to show
that her rights to this high succession rela-
tionship are not to be disregarded.
Now it our opinion that her pretensions
are, to say the least, quite as good as any
other. Yet being persuaded that none Of
them can be in every respect satisfactorily
established, and regarding it of no special
consequence that they should, we don't know
but that it would be as we'll to withdraw
the claim, and make an effort to resemble as
nearly as possible, the model given US in
the New Testament In travelling the road
,of succession back to the Apostles, we
should be likely to find some chasms over
which it would be difficult to throw bridge,

CHRISTIAN SYMPATHY.

MAN was made for society. Alone he is
wretched without communion with intell!-
gent beings, he cannot be happy. Man, in
his best estate, needs his fellow.man to rejoice
with him in his prosperity; and in hours Of
gloom and sorrow, he requires those to
whom he can make known his complaints
and tell the miseries of his bleeding heart.
Aye, he needs the sympathies of kind friends,
who shall, in measure, enter into the cir.
cumstances of this life, and feel and bear
portion of his woe.
The Scriptures recognize this principle.
Hence it is said, no man liveth to himself
and no man dieth to himself. We are re.
quired not to rejoice, but to weep with those
who weep. Our great Exempar went to
the house of mourning; he ministered com.
fort to the distressed; he gave the weary
and heavy laden rest; and offered consola-
ton to those who were bereit by afliction
and death. There is nothing man can do
that is more alleviating to the troubled spirit,
than to extend to the crushed heart those
Christian sympathies which are commended
in the word of God. a kind word, tender
look, gentle act, showing the feeling of a
generous and sympathzing heart, is like oil
upon the troubled waters, dew upon the
crushed flower, or rain upon the thirsty
earth. If we could properly appreciate the
amount of good we might accomplish, the
Joy we might impart, and the grief we might
assauge, we would not be slow in going for
ward in the work of mercy, but would be

60. .u,.vis nave ruuliged III d personal
controversy, and at its close could truly say
that they had neither lost their self:respect
nor fallen in the estimation of judicious
friends. We believe that at the close Of the
editorial career Of those who in times past
have conducted partisan papers, either re-
ligious or political, the best men of the mum.
Der have looked back upon their personal
quarrels and newspaper squabbles with those
of rival parties or different sects as the least
profitable portion of their lives. The men.
tai vitriol they have thrown upon their oppo-
nents has irritated, corroded, land poisoned
their own hearts. A war of words is to be
avoided if possible; and where it takes two
to fight, the wisest course is to follow the
sacred injunction, "to leave off contention
before it is medded with" A quaint Eng
lsh writer has, with great truth, compared
a quarrelsome, aggressive dsputant to
volcano; the lighter portions Of what it
vomits forth are dissipated by winds; tho
heavier ones fall back into the throat whence
they were disgorged. Whatever other often.
ces we may commit, we mean never to have
a newspaper quarrel; and whether our daily
contemporaries throw squib, or the weekly
journals level heavy column at us, we shall
meet it all with what Charles Lamb styled
"the primitive discourser"-silence.-Bos.

50 that we at last should have to use the
wings of faith and fly over them. And in
the "chain" of succession, there are several
links of such questionable temper and
strength, that the safer course would be to
lay hold upon the Hook to which it is fas-
tened-or, to vary the figure and employ the
sublime language of the Scripture, let us in
coming to Christ and hearing his words, be
like the man that built his house upon a
rock. He that does this shall never be
moved. The Church that does this cannot
be unsettled from its foundation by the
shocks which will shake this old world to
pieces, whilst that which is built upon the
sandy foundation of human tradition, or the
expositions Of erring men, will be under
mined and blown away by the storm of
judgment which will fall upon it.
We think that both reason and the Scrip.
lures justify the position, that if the Church
as an organized body had ceased to exist for
years together, body of believers, with the
Bible in their hands, could form an associa-
ton possessing all the elements of an eccle-
siastical organization; and this is the ground
on which we contend that an apostolic sue
cesson is not important to the existence of
the Church here, to the individual enjoyment
of the blessings of Christianity, and to the
attainment in heaven of the glory which
survives the wreck and the decay of earth
to the entering upon an inheritance on
high, undefled and that fadeth not away,
eternal in the heavens" l..

THE curative effect of faith is illustrated
by the statement communicated recently to
the public, by DR.. Alcott, as narrated to him
by a Methodist clergyman. The latter
states that young woman in extremely
feeble health, came to the belief that if he
were to pray with her she would recover
After much hesitation he concluded to make
an experiment-encouraged the invalid with
the promise that he would soon crafty her
wish, visited her to prepare her mind for the
exercise; and when the hour at length ar
rived, a good deal of parade and form was
made, as if to give the mind more time to
look at the subject, and the heart more time
to fasten its faith on the great .Praycr.hearer
and Prayer.answerer. When the prayer
could be delayed no longer, he knelt solemn
ly by her bedside, and prayed most fervently
and earnestly for her recovery. From this
hour forth it is said she began to recover,
and in an almost miraculousIy short time,
was well.
WHEN worthy men fall out, only one Of
them may be faulty at the first; but if strife
continue long, commonly both become gull

WILLIAM CAREY.-One of the deputation
Of the Boston Baptist Board to Burmah,
Rev. Dr.. GRANGER, thus refers to his visit to
the former home and the grave Of CAREY:
"In the library, did not ask for CAREY's
botanical specimens. In fact forgot them
But they showed me what interested me
more, some of his manuscript works. There,
for example, was his Sanscrit Dictionary, in
five huge folios of about seven hundred pa
ges each. There was his Bengalic Dciona-
ry, in manuscript. and other large works,
any of which would have given any other
man worldwide reputation. Careys own
writing in Oriental characters is so neat and
perfect, page after page, without an erasurc
or blot, that one has to examine closely
to convince himself that it is not printed.
As surveyed these huge tones, and thought
of the Herculean labors of the man who
learned thirty eight languages that he might
translate the Holy Scripture into them; as
thought of his want of early classical train
ing; as thought OF his labors as profess
sor in the Government College, and transla'
tor for Government, and as superintendent
of an indigo factory one hundred miles from
this, all which secular work he undertook
that he might raise funds to carry on his
mission work, | stood amazed at the cour-
age, boldness, and success of the man. Gods
grace gave the impulse. Eustace, can
plod," shows the method Of this, the most
wonderful man Of his age"

Aeligions a9egMtnl&nt.
NEOS EPISCOPOS, Editor.

In prosecuting the enquiry in our last
ISSUE let US ask why it is that there is SO
much of earth and so little of heaven in the
conversation of Christian peoples "Let
your conversation be in heaven" says an
Apostle, whence also ye look for the Sa.
vior." But so far as intercourse with Church
members goes, in this particular, it would
be difficult to ascertain from it what posi-
.tion they occupy. In the olden time they that
feared the Lord spoke often one to another,
ON things pertaining to the desolation or
prosperity of the Church. But in this age
of worldly progress, spiritual conversation
forms very small part Of q protesting
Christians communication with bis brethren
or others. Those desiring to engage in it
rarely meet with any encouragement from
those to whom advances are made, and
hence, instead of growing in grace and in
the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ" there is very generally manifested a
sad declension in spirituality among those
who at the start seemed to "run we'll" And
not only do these remarks apply to the daily
intercourse of the brotherhood, but even at
the Church, on the Lords day, except when
the stated services are going on, may be
seen groups on the steps or under the shade
trees in the Church yard, engaged in the
discussion of matters which tend but little
to the welfare of the soul or to the pros.
perty of religion. a hundred changes are
rung on the state Of the weather and the
prospect for the crops. Many sage express
sions of opinion are given in regard to the
probable results of the Eastern War, the,
certainty of the acquisition of Cuba, and
the dark designs Of the Know Nothings.
Anything but Christ and heaven seems to
meet with attention ana interest. Well, not
to extend this article, one Of the causes, per.
haps the chief cause Of this state of things,
is the very general neglect of the reading of
the Holy Scriptures. Men read the news
papers, they get interested in the things
they treat Of, and hence, when they meet
together, they. are at no loss in talking about
them. But let the great, the transcendantly
important topics of Revelation be intro.
duced, and at once there's an embarrassment
manifested, the conversation flags and must
either change or stop. Asrespects the deep
,hings-aye, and the simple things too-of
the Book of Goo, the great majority of the
Church, we say it in kindness, may be called
Knop Littles, with much more propriety,
than can the term used to designate it be
applied to that wide spread political party
which affects Ignorance of everything. And
in the hope of soon presenting to our readers
the Importance Of the study of the Scrip
tures, and Of giving them from time to time
some thoughts on the wonders which they
reveal, we commend the above to their
nrasant consideration
