An Ap0state Minister.

= A minister, in whom the late Rev. Andrew
RULER had Onced placed entire confidence. and
with whom he had for long series of wears
been very. intimate, fell into an awful public sin
threw blasting mildew over religion through.
out an extensive community. In the very midst
OF the intense excitement created by the sad
event came the season for a public meeting of
ministers, annually held in connection with the
| church. Some of their neighboring clergymen
| proposed the omission of their service, on ac-
count OF the state of the public mind. but to
this arrangement Mr.. Fuller very decidedly OBJ
jected. The usual session was held, and Mr..
Fuller appointed to preach. A vast crowd as
sembled, expecting OF course some allusion to
his former friend, nor were they disappointed.
The sermon was on the sins of professors of
rellglon--their frequency, causes and awful re-
suits. His feelings throughout were very tender.
and many OF his hearers, both clergy and laity,
were mostly in tears. He, however, restrained
his emotion within bounds till he approached
the close of the sermon. Then addressing the
unconverted part of his audience, he besought
them not to become hardened in their guilt, or
neglect to secure the salvation of their souls,
because some who had borne ''the vessel of the
Lord had sinned. II need not.' he added
with great tenderness of spirit, make more
distinct reference but 0 remember that if /,
and these brethren in the ministry and every
other protesting Christian in the world were to
make a shipwreck of faith and character, and
tall into crime like poor, religion would
still be the same grand system of truth and
morality, and you would eternally be lost if you
reject it. The Lord Jesus Christ is the standard
OF character and not poor sinners like u.s.
