TIE PRESENT CRISIS.

ii seems that almost ell the pastors
OF our churches are preaching on the
crisis, IN financial matters. The f15.-
an''h'r says that DR.. Woyland has ut.
tered his voice in Providence; the CHy18-
'c/c tells us that DIR. Armtuge has been
at IL IN New York tho Secre,tyV prints
an enti'e sermon of DR.. Nurdock's IN
Hartford. Probably ncariy all of the
pastors may have referred to il. This
may be wise. But too much suid on
this thone in the pulpit docs no good.
Ministers know bat !ittlo about The be.
culiar trials Of business men, and thew
attribute this crisis TO anything but the
right cause in many instances. Dr.. Ar.
'ni'age said in Ills discourse, but we do
not agree with bin, however, wholly;
"the ministers were not the best men
To- treat such a subject, for although ma
ny OF them we're endowed with as GOOD
qualities To mako merchants az other
t1eh, still il was ptoverbial that thsy
were, az class, hardly able TO Toxic
care OF their own purses, not To mind
those Of other people"
q merchant said to one Of our pas.
tors IN this city, "Do not preach OIL mon.
ey matters, ] beg Of you wc hear that
all tho week ; we arc tired Of IL, and
when we come TO church, we want IN
hear tho gospel Of Christ" This is
doubtless so, though lheio ags lcssone

in company with native christians! and
nearly 10000 Christian converts have
