Filling, Empty Churches.


Whosoever would preach to crowded, at
tentive congregations, let him take heed. If
we would enlarge our congregations and in
crease Our usefulness, we must,
l. Preach more powerfully. Sermons
that interest, and move, and save our present
hearers, will bring more people to hear U.s.
Our discourses should be well studied, adorn-
ed with frequent and pertinent quotations
from Scripture, and sparkle with striking H.
Illustrations from real life. We must follow
the example Of Jesus-announce generally
rather than argue at great length the doc
trines of religion, then illustrate, and then en-
force these doctrines on our hearers. Our
hearts must DO better prepared for preaching
If the speakers heart be cold and unsympa-
thizing, all goes for nothing. AS cold iron
would never melt ice, SO neither will cold
hearted speakers set their hearers on fire.
Having our skeletons we'll prepared on pa
per, or in our minds, (which is bettor.we should
90 from our closets to the pupits, with souls
more than full Of love to God, and sympathy
for the erring and the lost. Who is heard
with most interest and profit in our prayer
meetings and love-feasts Is it not the one
who is holest, who, in simplicity and godIy
sincerity, utters the sentiments and feelings
Of devotional souls? Should we not learn
from this ?
Who succeed best in preaching or cxhort-
ing? Certainly not the most learncd-not
the one who delivers the most finished litera-
ry production. 1t was the hear;-eloquence of
Whitefeld that drew the million to hiln-and
to Christ. His written sermons-wherc are
they? Literary critics have consigned them
to eternal oblivion. Let the critics then go
10 criticism, but let us preach with full hearts,
and with all our might to save souls. Is not
our preaching too general, too formal, too
powerless With our talents and our advan-
tages, why do we not set the world on fire?
My dear brother minister if your Church
is mparatively empty, or, if your congrega-
tion is decreasing, think on these things and
sec if empty preaching has not helped to
empty your church. No show Of learning, no
argument nor discussion, no illustration in the
pulpit is worth it's time, only as it tends to
save souls from death. Read the histories Of
revivals the biographies oil successful minis
ters, and see if the preaching above indicated
has not drawn and saved its thousands and
millions
Call up, also, your own observation and ex-
periencc. How did you preach, and how did
others preach, when Christians shouted and
sinners wept and trcmbled? If we consider
these things prayertul, the Lord will show us
our defects, and, if we are willing, he will
lead US in Ga more excellent way" More
on this subject hereafter w. C. Advocate.

He being Dead, yet Speaketh.'

The cedar is most useful when dead. 1t is
most productive when it's place knows it no
more. There is no timber like it. Firm in
the grain, and capable Of the finest polish, the
tooth of no insect will touch it, and Time
himself can hardly destroy it. Difusing a
perpetual fragrance through the chambers
which it cells, the worm will not corrode the
book which it protects, nor the moih corrupt
the garment which it guards. All but i'm
mortal ITSELF it transtuses its amaranthine
qualities to the objects around it; and how
ever stately in the forest, or brave on the
mountains brow, it is more serviccable in
Solomou's palace, and it receives an ilustri-
GUS conservation when set up as pillars in the
Temple, and carved into door-posts and lin
tells for the House of the Lord. Every Chris
tian is useful in his life, but the goodly cedars
are most useful afterwards. Joseph while he
lived saved much people alive, and his own
lofty goodness was au impressive and elevat-
ing pattern to his relening and admiring
brethren. But as an instance of special prov
idence, and an example Of untarnished excel
lence amid terrible temptations, Joseph dead
has spoken to more than Joseph living. The
sweet singer of Israel while he lived taught
many to handle the larp, and infected not
few with his thankful, adoriug spirit. But
David being dead yet singeth, and you can
hardly name the psalm, or hymn, or spiritual
song, of which the lesson was not learnt
from the son of Jesse. Paul in his living
day preached many sermon, and made many
convert to the faith of Jesus. But Paul
being dead yet preacheth, and they were ser
mons from his sepulchre which converted
Luther, and Zwingle, and most Of our modern
eyaugelists. And Luther is dead, but the
Reformation lives. Calvin is dead, but his
vipdication of Gods free and sovereign grace
will never die. Knox, Melville, and Hender-
son are dead, but Scotland still retains
Sabbath and Christian peasantry, Bible
in every house, and school in every parish
Bunyan is dead. but his bright spirit still
walks the earth in its "Pilgrim's Progress" !"
Baxter is dead, but souls are still quickened
by the Saints Rest" and the Call to tho

The Chicago (ill.) Tribune has the following
sketch of Gen. Scott at headquarters
g Enfeebled in body, but clear-minded and
vigorous in intellect as ever, Gen. Scott is now
cheerfully undergoing abors that would overtax
the strength of many far his Juniors in life and
in service. An early hour of the day finds him
surrounded by aids and advisers, and not until a
late hour of the night does the work cease. The
hustle and din Of the city and camp are hushed
at nightfall, but not for many hours later does
its features Of activity.
The scenc on the day in question was one on
which the pencil of a Leutze would dwell low
ingly to the production of painting that should
be vivid history. Gen. Scott, suffering moro
than usual by an attack of gout,la half reclin-
ing upon lounge drawn into the centre OF the
large apartment, his feet resting upon pillows.
About the old chiettain, whose massive frame
seemed more impressive from the contrast, were
gathered men in uniform of army and navy, en-
lnent citizens in the plain black civilians dress,
with here and there one whose dress and features
told of rough service on some errand, whose re-
suits were now to be reported to the modification
or comprehensive plans of tho War Department.
On the wall opposite the lounge occupied by
Gen Scott were suspended two large military
maps of Virginia and Maryland with all their
careful details, closely representing the country,
its features, accesses, Businesses and approaches
1t was noticeable that about Harper Ferry,
Richmond and Norfolk were drawn large circles,
within which the details became more minute,
with symbols and signs abundant, of significance
to military men, the key to which belongs to the
War Office.
By Gen. Scott's side lay a long light reed
localities on these maps. Aids, amanuenses, ,ad
yiseys, were all busy, quietly and all without
stir or confusion In that room and on such
scenes and consultations hang safely the fate Of
this war in the speedy and condign punishment
of traitors y

VINO has dwelt there long with poverty gaunt
Still as The charnel house of the dead
The rotten-noor ereaks not meath your light tread.
rear not! as the moonshne reveals to you,
scene such as meier greeted your view;
On the cold floor lies little child dead
Witha pillow of rags beneath its head
In its skeleton form and thin, wan face
You can the ravages Of hunger trace
Its eyes arc closed as if sleeping the while,
And on the lips rests happy smile.
Like robe the moonbeams are o'er it spread
Aad the rays of light encircle its head,
And on the little, bare, white shoulders stream.
And we fancy see bright wings there gleam
Above it the mother is kneeling there
And her lips are parted as if in prayer;
Her face is CHASTITY and wrinked by care,
And wears an expression of deepest despair;
Her skeleton hands uplifted are,
And the eyes upturned have vacant stare
0, she had prayed long in agony wild,
" o Cod give me bread for my starving child.'
While thus she plead, the Angel of Death
Came sealthily in, and hushed the child's breath.
The chrysalis burst its thin she'll of clay,
And the spirit freed soar'd gladly away.
Call not Death monster, cruel and cold,
He fingered still, in mercy to enfod
In his arms the mother, that she might not know
The deep bitter pangs of newborn woe;
She slept in his embrace in Heaven above
She awokc and found the child of her love.
o., twas sight, the dead mother and child,
The one with her look Of agony wild,
The other which seemed like an angel now
With the shining wings and gory-crowned brow.

A SPECIMEN OF SOUTHERN FALsEHooDs.-W c
have been often amazed at the boldness of the
falsehoods with which, for the past three months,
the Southern press has been teeming, for the
sole purpose Of working up their people to the
murderous frenzy they deem necessary to defend
their desperate cause. But we were hardly
prepared to see such an one as the following,
seriously aad deliberately put for'h..by the Mo-
bile Register. They may possibly scare their
white negroes by such stories, but all their
black ones will know better than to believe
them:
Servile insurrection is o part of their pro-
gramme, but they expect no great amount OF
practical good to result therefrom consequent
", it is contended that it would be a far better
course of policy for the abolitionists to murder
the slaves and thus exterminate Slavery. A
more monstrous proposition could not emanate
from the most incarnate fend among the
damned. But infamous as it is, it finds an ad-
vocate in the abolition press The slaves are to
be indiscriminately slaughtered, and when the
last one is butchered, then it is thought the in
stitution will cease to exist The soul recoils
in horror at the idea of an unscrupulous war
unon the innocent and defenceless slave. The
Syrian massacres of the Christians, and all the
crimes of its bloody participants, paes before
the proposed atrocities of the Black Republi-
cans. Their masters, however, in this, as all
other instances, will be their protectors and sa-
viors. With this much of their published pro-
oramme We must not be surprised at any act T
threat as thS, campaign advances.
