ROWLAND HILL-This eccentric.
b u t m o s t earnest and successful
minister in the English church, hsd q
hard struggle in the beginning Of his
ministry, to obtain ordination, end to
resist family influence. DR.. ste@ens
gives a graphic sketch ofhis troubles:
Six bishops refused Hill ordinetion.
He followed the advice Of BerYidse,
and went forth wherever the cav
opened, into the devils territories.
He preached in prisons, in dissenting
chapels, and on the highways. He
was often mobbed; saluted with the
beating ofpans and shovels, ths blow
ing Of horns and ringing OF bells,
pelted with dirt aud eggs, and some
times in.peril of his life. He was
once fired at, while in the pulpit, the
ball passing over his head.
His visits to the paternal home were
rendered miserable by the opposition
Of his parents; but consolex BY his
devoted sister, he ceased not o. preach
in all the vicinity; and her gentle il
huence and charities, aided by his
brother, resulted in much local use
lulness. Five Of the family vere soon
united with them in the faith, BESIDES
some of the household servants and
neighbors.
In his old age, when his fame Was
in all the churches, and, indeed, in ell
the English world, he remarked, while
walking on the terrace at Hae1estons,
to friend who had noticed the afec-
tiOnate courtesies ofthe family towards
him:
"You see how [ am now received
here, but in my youth | have often
passed this spot bitterly Weeping;
while by the most in yonder house [
was considered as a disgrace to my
family. "But," he added as the tears
fell down his cheeks, 1T was for the
cause of my God"
His brother, Sir Richard, though
not contemplating holy orders, had
sometimes labored as a lay preacher,
or eXorter; but believing that ss a
laymen he might be otherwise more
useful, he yielded to the entreAties of
his parents, and abandoned such Dir
regularities" He was sent b7 his
family to persuade his brother 10 fol
low his example. Arriving at Bristol,
he was informed that Rowland had
gone to Kingswood to preach ID The
colliers; there ne discovered him
standing up among weeping thousands
upon whose blackened cheeks could
he seen the traces of their flowing
tears.
Rowland saw him in the crowd, and
suspecting his errand, preached with
greater energy and effect. Detefmin-
ed TO defeat the design, he concluded
by shouting:
my brother, Richard Hill, ESQ.,.
will preach here tomorrow
The young man did preach, and in
stead of returning with his brother
TO Hawkestone, became his coadiutor
in the very work he designed to per-
, suade him to reiinquish.

Let no man despair of Gods mer-
cies to forgive him, unless he is sure
that his sins are greater than Gods
mercies. If they be not, we nave
much reason to hope that the stronger
ingredient will prevail, SO long as we
are in the time and state of repent
ance, and within the possibilities and
latitude of the covenant; and as long
as any promise can but reflect upon
him with an oblique beam of comfort.
Possibly the man may err in his
Judgment of circumstances, and there
