Well done, Simon MARCUS! There you stand!
nnveil your face, step forth into the light; only
avow that you buy your minister, and use him,
or lay him on the shelf, just as you wou'd a
case of umbrellas or bale of silk, that you
settle him for pew revenues, and that your pu.-
pit is up at auction to the highest bidder for
the nan who will insure Won the greatest sum
total of pew-rentals, and yonr power is at
an end. The statement of such things is
enough to make them by-word and Kissing.
Yon never can get the people to admit that the
final end of Gods word is just simply to keep
the finances of society above water, or as a
locomotive to drag them up. hill. Gods word
is given for edifying and saving souls, and not
merely building temples and paying for them.
And The ministers Of Gods Word, if called to
preach in Nineveh and fleeing to Tarshish.
will not much longer find the churches to be
mere packet ships, in which they can snugly
sleep out the storm, and pay their passage by
concealing their mission.

high spiritual life, penetrating every fibre
OF being, manif~sting itself in spontaneous
deeds of goodwill 10 men, and which loathes
the approach of defement, is seldom educed
during an unnatural state of the emotions and
judgment. Periods, when the atmosphere is
charged with religious enthusiasm, are unfa-
vorable to the formation Of symmetrical
Christian character, impervious to the shafts
OF evil. In these times, the unworthy not un.
frequently put on the livery of heaven for sa-
tanic uses.
The philosophy Of religion inculcates that

We are not aware that the best exeu,plars
OF what is called the "rigid theology" for the
last two centuries, like Howard and Wilber-
fore, have been particularly solicitous about
the quality of their creed. Their history
does not show that they were dogmatic in the
defence OF any especial religious theory. Yet
their lives had such a ''daily beauty" that
common experiences are ugly and repulsive in
the comparison. It is not recorded of these
men that they dissipated the precious mo.
ments Of their stay on earth in denunciation
of dissenters; in reyilings Of those unfortunately
| embracing different Christian system from
their own. If they believed their course to
be the only right aud safe one, they were al
way inclined to be charitable towards imper =
| feet mortals, and never perverted their religion
! into an instrument of hatred and revenge.
Men Of their noble type are rarely produced
| by any excitement, and are always found to-
possess too broad and generous characters to
become bigots and enthusiasts for any set of
theological catch-words. A consecrated life
to them is the best evidence Of godiEess-an
unsel6sh devotion to their fellow men the true
test Of saintship The tree is judged by its
fruit, not by its blossoms or early verdure.-
Most persons will welcome all religious move
ments which add TO the number Of Huwards
and Wilberfores in the world.

for yonng lady fnom her lover, on the day Of

quent in the rural districts, knowing the eager
ness with which a message Of that tender

This was duly prepared with the Democratic

ceeded with the separate and self sealed to the
house of the blooming maiden to whom he SAL
