At special meeting of the trustees of
Rocky River Academy, held at the church,
on Thursday, 26th of Nov, 1857 the Rev
d. A. Peniek, Sr., President Of the Board,
in the chair. The following resolutions
were unanimously adopted;
Whereas, it has pleased God, in his all
wise, though truly mysterious Providence,
very suddenly and most unexpectedly to
remove BY death, on the 18th ult., our be-
loved brother and highly accomplished clas-
steal teacher, from his post Of superior use
fulness amongst us; Therefore,
Resolred, /. The guardians and patrons
of education in this community, are solemn
ly called upon, 10y the death Of Mr.. Whar-
ton, to mourn no ordinary bereavement.
They have lost q competent, faithful, and
a ChristiaA teacher; man who labored
conscieudOusly and prayed feryently for the
morti and religious, as well as the lntellec-
tual culture Of his pupils; who was, IN all
respects, Christian gentleman, of cOnser-
vatiye influence in the community, model
of Christian character among his brethren,
and pattern for young men. He had Sc
cured to himself an unusual degree of fpubGc
confidence, for residence of only two years
among us. His death is peculiarly sad,
having occurred just two months after a
second and most agreeable marriage.
Resolred, ,. 1t is nevertheless our duty,
not only to bow in humble submission to
the Will Of God, but to be instructed and
corrected, by this sorely affective bereave-
ment.
ResoIred, 3. We sympathize most tender
ly with the bereayed friends-especially, the
aged father, the bridal widow, and the or
phan children.
Resofred, 4. That copies of these resOlu-
tions be forwarded to the editors Of the
Central Presbyterian, the Greensboro Pa
triot and the Charlotte Wing, for Pubhea-
ton: also to the father and widow of the
deceased.

nd all because his people did not do their

and all because his people did not do their
part.
But again, the people can do much to in
crease congregation by going out and in
viting their friends and neighbors to the
house of God, and then praying for the Di-
vine blessing to rest upon them when they
do come. Most ministers feel delicacy in
asking others to come to hear them preach.
1t will have the appearance of vanity. But
their people need have no such delicacy to
restrain them from doing so. We once knew
congregation to be more than doubled by
each member of it entering into covenant
with the others that he or she would not cease
until they had added at least one to the
number Of regular hearers. Why might not
every congregation in the land be thus dou-
bled in few weeks? 1t certainly is not be-
cause there are not materials ont Of which
it could be done.
We. then, beseech every reader Of this
artiele 50 ponder the qyest ~ q VI gt Eils OF
sne cal DO TO increase tie congregation u
which they are either leaders or members.
1t is certain in all ordinary cases, that un-
less men and women can be brought to
hear the Gospel. they will not be saved by
it, and if so, then itfollows that but a small
proportion of those who live in this Chris
tian land will be saved, because only small
proportion are habitual hearers of it.

soul. 1t was not so much what you said, as
your manner of speaking it, that struck
me-" Many could have borne similar testi-
mony to the earnest, the impressive dis
courses of Davies.
He was pructicat preacher, doing so
by his daily conduct DR.. Owen remar ks
that a preachers life must be vocal Ser
mons must be practised, as well as preach
ed. The congregations Of Davies might
say of him, as was said of another, "We
never see our minister, but we behold some
thing of his Master in him. We never
visit his house, but we see something of
God there. We never hear him converse,
but we are sure to learn something
Regarded with unusual favor as a speak
er, word on this point may form the con-
clusion of this brief sketch. He was a
model of the most striking and effective
oratory. Patrick Henry, welding the same
weapon. with equal skill, at the haS and in
the halFeEleeislas Il lived from 'cleyenih

neighborhood. By listening to the impas-
stoned soul-stirring addresses of Davies,
the spirit and fire of his eloquence were
lindled. >. y.

"Cant Afford It."

A voluntary collector for one of the great
benevolent interests Of the day, called late
ly, in pursuance of his duty, upon a gentle
man with whom he was acquainted, a busi-
ness man9 and a Christian, but one who had
hitherto excused himself from making libe
raj contributions on the plea that he 'could
not afford it," This plea, from man of
undoubted wealth, had probably seemed al
most incredible to our friend the collector;
but as he now sat in view Of the sumptuous
suit of parlors, awaiting the appearance of
the proprietor, the truth flashed upon him.
He felt that the plea had been sincere; the
explanation was before him. On the gen
tleman's entrance, he mentioned the errand
on which he had come, adding, "But | see,
sir that you really cannot afford it, and |
cannot think of presenting any claim upon
you. Such a scale of expenditure as see
indicated by everything around me, can in
deed leave you little, if anything, to spare
for the cause of Christ. l must look else
where for support to our operations Good
morning, sir"
The collector lett, but the arrow he had
lodeed Gid not. Itwas not lmg before the
rich steward sought liin, 10 .ls5wiedg-
ments for the cutting reproof, which had
made a profound and abiding impression
upon his conscience. He had made up his
mind that he could afford to give, and could
not afford to squander. He presented the
collector check for $1,000, with the as
surance that the style of his household should
be no longer scandal nor an incumbrance
to his piety.---Er0mlRer.

mentaries, even when threatened with death
in the angry food 1t is a high example
for ourselves, who carry tin our hands, not
the histories of atrocious wars recorded by
the pen of the ambitious conqueror, but the
volume of light and love-the dying record
of the Lord, who poured out His own blood
for the redemption of His creatures. The
English reformer8 chained this book to our
reading-desks; and, God helping us, it shall
there remain to testify against the wretch
edness of sin, and to call the weary soul to
rest on the promises of God.

ioin our church rather than the Old School.
We are Presbyterians, so ore they; We
adopt the Westminster Confession of Faith,
so do they, In short there is no difference
to those who have been unobseryant of the
discussions resulting from the act of '37.
That act is long since dead letter, and we
have suffered all the evil resulting from it.
1t becomes us to be honest, and curb our
preiudices, and restrain our harsh, unkind
words toward the Old School, and accept
such terms of union as are just and honora-
BILE. 1t would be arrogant mus TO demand
all concession from them and make none
ourselves. 1t is noble to yield where there
has been error. And surely 10 one would
say that all we have done has been right?
There IS a great desire IN huma} ,.satare to be
greatest IN the kingdom Of Gal; or in the
present divided state of the CHI rch, to Jehe
Lion of the tribe. | fear this desire to be
Lion will prevent union. Il ronpts men
in high places to write and sq 'qw things,
which ahenatc the feciings yeAtsuiaas IA
different branches of the church who would
otherwise have been drawn together by the
common bond of love to Christ There is
great demand for humble earnest prayer
on this subject in both branches of the
church. We have forgotten too much, our
responsibility to God. Most that has been
said and written has been done too much
like human feeling had been consulted.
Doubtless if every minister and elder in both
baanches of the church would give up all
prejudice and personal ambition and pray
once over the subject there would be har-
monious union of the two bodies just as
soon as the regular steps for union could
be taken. We trust that the Spirit of God
will influence the hearts of all our ministers
to act for the glory of God in this matter.

From the Methodist Protestant.
An Extract from Chalmers.

Mr.. Editor:-I feel no hesitancy in COM
mending the following extract from DIR.
Chalmers Journal, to those who imagine
themselves the subjects Of grieyOus pastoral
neglect-protesting, however, that it has
no special application in this latitude.
"MOaday.-Mr. Falconer called between
eleven and twelve He told me that he had
been dining lately with Mr.. -, who had
complained bitterly of my neglect towards
his family, and compared it with my atten-
tions to Mr.. B., whom, by the way, have
only spent an hour with, in the evening, for
a whole half year; and Mr.. FalcOner con-
cludes with recommending it to me, to make
up for my by-gone negligence.
Il should have heard this with the utmost
patience and charity, in which am sorry
to say that failed. should bear all things,
and do all things, without murmurings and
disputings, and be meek and gentle with all
men. But, at the same time, it Is obviously
impossible that | can be dragged or dra-
gooned into frs house in his present
humor, or pay an attention extOrted from me
in the spirit Of a Jealous exactOr; nor do L
think it my duty to dine at my hearers ia
bles whenever they choose to let out an inyl-
tatiOn. must try to keep charitable spi-
rit toward him; and am sure my absence
from his house bears no more reference to
him particularly than it does to the hundred
Others who have kept asking and asking at
me, and have just as good right to be an
CRY as he, that | have never moved single
footstep to them. This is really a yulgarism
which must be abolished. The
-'s have been particularly cold at meet
ings, and Mr. Falconer's remarks have let
me into the explanation. They have con-
ceiyed themselves to be grieyously insulted
