WHAT Is THE MATTER WITH OUR PEOPLE ?

IT was said of the Jews of old that they had
"zeal for God, but not according to knowl-
edge" This indeed was not desirable state Of
things, but it may at least be made question
whether mistaken zeal is not almost as good
as stolid Indifference which takes no interest
in anything if there be any part of our coun-
try where the charge of apathy does not, in
some degree, lie against the Church with which
it is our lot to be connected, it is more than can
be said of that with which we are acquainted.
That it does, with but little variation hold the
truth, as respects the theory of doctrine and
government, we fully believe, and this latter as
regards both civil and ecclesiastical polity. But
it must be confessed that in zeal for the TRUTH
in interest manifested for the prosperity OF pure
and undc6led religion, it is in many instances
sadly wanting. Such has not always been the
case, and why should it be 30 now? But does
any one deny that it is so! Then look through
the country at the old shapeless shells called
"Churches" blackened with the weather, win
dow-blinds hanging by one hinge, with cracks
innumerable, in roof, floor and celin g-no, beg
ging pardon for the mistake, Misunderstanding
we mean, not celing-opening their hospitalities

SILVER MOON.

SlL AUON
AS strayed from my Cot at the close OF the day,
To muse on the beauties of June,
Meath jessamine shade espied fair maid,
And she sadly complained to the moon
" AS hart on the mountain my lover so brave,
So handsome and manly to view,
So kind and sincere, and he loved most dear,
Oh Edwin, no love more true.
f'But now he is dead and his youth once so gay,
Is cut down like rose in full bloom;
And he silently sleeps, and I'm thus left to weep,
BY the sweet silver light Of the moon.
But his grave I'll seek out till morning appears,
And weep for my lover so brave;
III embrace the cold earth and bedew with my tears
The flowers that bloom o'er his grave.
"Oh never again can my heart throb with joy
My lost one hope to meet soon-
And kind friends will weep DER the grave where he
sleeps,
BY the sweet silver light of the moon.
Roll on silver moon, guide the traveller on his way
While the nightingales song is in tune;
never, never more from my lover will estray,
By the sweet silver light Of the moon."

FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE.
by THE EDITOR,

BY THE EDITOR
O where shall we find in this worlds desert dreary,
A green spot relieving the waste OF life's way,
A shade, underneath WHICH, the lone pilgrim weary,
May rest from the burden and heat Of the day
Is there no sweet oasis no clear gushing fountain,
To brighten The prospect, the souls thirst to as
No ifgfit mid the darkness, no breeze from the
mountain,
When clouds gather over, when life's fevers rage 2
On eartl's broad domain surely all is not sadness,
Humantys cup is not oil filled with wo;
The halo of hope ever glistens with gladncss;
In the storm ever glows the sure covenant bow.
Tho this be world Of affliction and sorrow,
In pleasures sweet goblet be mingled the gall;
To-day hopes arrive to be Knocked on the morrow,
And Z" the trail of the serpent is over it ALL"
Yet there's light midst the gloom in which man is
enshrouded,
And fuith, hope and love are the stay OF the soul,
When with trials beset and temptations beclouded,
And the worlds disappointments over him roll.
Then bear up and hold onward, poor carth-slighted
stranger,
Look upward move homeward to mansions above
Trust in him who on earth tho child in manger,
Now enthroned in His glory bids YOU trust in

10 the genial rays of'a summers sun, and to the
biting blasts from the N. W.; unenclosed against
the irruptions of cattle and swine. But as there
is said to be some good mixed up with all evil,
perhaps this last circumstance is not altogether
without its benefit, as the result is the produc-
ton of an insect of remarkable activity, which
mt least imparts some nervous energy TO the
preacher, and keeps the congregation awake. To
what extent it interferes with the devotion of
the worshpers, we leave to be determined by
their own experience
Once more How many papers devo:ed to the
interests of the Baptist denomination have been
started in this State we do rot know, but un-
less we are much mistaken, they lave all lived
through brief and sickly existence, and either
moved in search of n more favored region, or
been consigned to tho tombs of the Capulets. .
The present issue, if we are correctly informed,
instead of being sustained as it should be by
the some ten thousand white communicants of
the State, is kept moving by the sacrifices of
individuals, and the gratuities of Associations.
And among those who subscribe for it, we asked
a brother some time ago, and an intelligent man
too, il he read the paper. His reply was that
he "lookcd at it." Now under these circum-
stances there is but little encouragement 10
editor or contributors to write when the printer
and proof reader are all that pay any attention
to their pcttcd GRANDCHILDREN. But so it is
there's hasty glance at the editorial, hop, skip
and jump through the correspondence, and a
perusal of the outside, and the paper is con-
sidered as "looked at," and condemned as a
dull concern"
We have much more to say about these mat
tiers, and some things hard to be uttered" but
must defer them to another issue. In the mean
time let what has been written be ct least
looked at" sufficiently to be remembered in
connection with whatever else may come; and
especially let the brotherhood be stirred up
to improvement in the particulars mentioned.
