CHURCH GOVERNMENT.
By ANXIOUS.


We have been told that the question
of Church Government is thing of
nothing-a position exceedingly strange
for a christian to assume! Look at
the church Of Rome and mark the
operations and effects of its govern :
ment; how tyrannical, how oppressive
and how degrading in its character
The whole control of the governmental
affairs is in the hands of the clergy or
ministry, TO the exclusion Of the laity
frouAsall participation whatever. Spir-
itual tyranny there, unchecked. reigns
supreme. What are the effects pro-
duced! Superstition, bigotry, religious
ignorance, fanatieism, and a slavish
seFvility to the will of the priesthood.
Formality and ceremony are taken for
religion the church is looked to for
salvation instead of Christ; the com
mandments of men and traditions of
the church are regarded rather than
the word of God.
We now ask the question, in all
randor, if church government can
produce from its structure such effects,
or lead. to such results? Is not the ques-
ton Of church government matter Of
vast importance In the age Of prim-
Tive Christianity the lsity participated
in the governmental affairs Of the
church, and the simplicity and purity
Of Christianity was then maintained
but in process of time, the ministry set
| up claim to rule by divine right. The
people were striped of ecclesiastical
rights; priesthood was established
| popery was born, acquired strength
/ and produced all Of its blighting effects
/ DR.. Bascom's sentiment that civil anc
religious liberty are intimately connect
ed --they usually live aud dse together
and he who is the friend of the one can
not consistently be the enemy of th'
other, is certainly a self evident propo
| sition, to which | would add, if repabli
canism be right IN State, it cannot b
wrong in Church. And if despotisn
be wrong in Stateit cannot be right il
Church, aud il wrong in Church
ought to be cast out.
The question of church government
then. is subject of grand and vita
importance; such was its character ii
the grrat and glorious reformation {
the sixteenth century, when Luther e,
posed the anrighteous pretentions ofth
clergy Of the Roman Church. Such
its character COW. One Of the triumph
of the reformation was the restoratio
Of the usurped rights which had beef
in process of time, wrested from th
atty BY the clergy who professed to
ryle BY divine right.

How PooR YouNG MEN MAY Sue
Young man are you poor with
out the means Of splurging in life, as
you launch on It's pillows? Is your
father poor and unable to give you an
outfit? Be not disheartened on ac-
count of all this. Take earnest hold
Of life, and never regard yourself in
any other than that of being destined
to high and holy purpose. Study
closely the bent of your own mind for
labor or profession. Whatever you re-
solve upon, do it early; follow it stead
lily and untiringly; never look back
ward to what you have encountered,
but always forward to what you have
within your grasp. The world owes
every man a comfortable living and a
respectable position in society; means
are abundant to every mans success
and men have only 10 adopt the will
and the action to secure them.
To repine over the want of money
and property to start OFT in the world
with, and over the want of the props
of Influential relatives, it unmanly.
Let young man strive to create a for
tune, rather than to want one. It is
an ignoble spirit that leads a young
man to borrow instead Of bequeathing
means. Go forth into the world, young
man, conscious Of God within you. and
bis providence over you. and fight youl
own way to distinction, 70 honor and
comfort. Pity in your innost soul the
young man who, without any hauge
unable to support hims Il, and IS whin-

THE DYING INEBRIATE.

What spectacle is this |! What a
lesson does it teach The destruction
of mans corporal frame is not pleasant
under any circumstances. The taking
down his "clay tabernacle" even when
he hopes to enter a building not made
with hands," in the upper skies. has
something melancholy in it. But when
we see mortal stretched upon bis dy-
ing couch whose life has been spent
in debauchery and revelry, what is
there connected with him or his either
past, or present, or future that does not
present the most horrible and forbid
ing aspect? Life is gone, property is
wasted, character blasted, wife and
children beggared-there he lies on his
bed of straw, with parehed lips, bloat-
ed countenance aud bloodshot eyes, the
the very personifcation of ruin. Toss
ing upon bis hard and comfortless
couch, pentiug for breath and calling
for help, but all in vain. Death marks
him for his victim, and now, if for a
while heis relieved from frightfui ghosts
and demons which haunted his disor-
dered imagination, - conscience, the
sleepless monitor, with redoubled Yigor,
assails him in every act of his worthless
life, to blast his conscious soul, and
brings up before him all his hopes to
plunge him in deeper agony, and to
hurry bis afrighted spirit into tie
presence of bis God. How loudly and
bitterly does be complain of life, Of
friends, of God
lie prays, but it is the angry impra-
cations of speedy d seharge. The
wild glare Of bis scorched eye, bis rest
less tossing, his retching hiecough, and
his deep, hollow groans, tell US how
hard it is is for drunkard to die. The
very presence of a once loved wife and
children, kindle in advance the very
fires of hell. The soothing voice ofmercy
and the plaintiye voice of the man Of
God kneeling by his bedside, but add
feul to the already raging flame. He
calls for water3 now, ere he takes his
habitation where one drop " will not
be allowed him; but alb ! the COO
draught only add force to the dey. ur.
ing fire. Friends gather around tc
take last farewell, and his tfemulous
hands are extended to bid them adieu
thoughts of the past and the future
send their withering arrows, barbed witt
the poison Of death, and with one
strong agonizipg struggle, bis ruined
soul slagger into the spirit land TO re-
csive its sentence. Pity, compassion
humanity would let the vail drop here
cover up ill great assize, the doom 0
the deluded misguided wretch; but
divine truth has said, All drunkard:
shall have tbe;r portion in the lake thaI
burueth with FIRE and brimstone.''
