the day he said to Nathaniel, "When
thou vast under the fig tree | saw thee"
Good John Newton tells us that he loved
to practise his secret deyotions, sub diO,
in the open air. DR.. Ashbel Green
tells us that in his early days, when his
mind was exercised with divine subjects,
he daily retired to a grove, where at the
root of a chestnut tree, he earnestly
sought the Lord and that the remem-
brance of that tree was precious to him
in his latest years. He sought foriit at
ter many years had past, and to his great
grief it had been cut down. DIR. Archl-
bald Alexander, in his very last days, re-
yerted to the peculiar exercises of his
mind on divine subjects when boy, and
alone among the bushy hills in Virginia,
where after earnestly seeking for mercy,
he found the whole plan of grace pre-
sented to his mind "as clear as day
Are there not many now living who can
think of such trees? "Jesus Christ, the
same yesterday and to-day, and forever"

The Valley of Death.

David thought it dark, and filled with
shadows. Banyans Pilgrim found in it
a stream of water, which he was obliged
to ford, aud Christiana passed over JOr-
dan before she came TO the Celestial City.
Elijah went through it in a chariot of
fire, and Enoch, of light. Some have
gone down into loathsome dungeons to
seek its portal, others mounted on scat
folds to find the gate, and more have laid
themselves down quietly upon their beds,
until the messenger came to give them
dismission, and lead them Oh their way.
And little does it matter in what way we
walk therein, or how soon We enter upon
the path, so that we finish the journey in
safety. The road is not long, and though
it be dark, or shadowy, or lonely, or cold,
if the Saviour of sinners be there, we
need fear no evil.

RICHMOND, va, WEDNESDAY, MARCH A. 1868;

moments If silent communion seem most
appropriate. The minister needs them
as well as the people. Indeed Christ
speaks so plainly in the emblems by
which we feed upon the body and blood
of Christ by faith, that the humble min
lister feels himself awed into silence, just
as if he had stood before the cross on
Calvary, and seen His dying agonies,
and witnessed the darkened sun, and the
quaking earth, and the opening graves,
When God speaks, let man be silent
Let communicates give earnest atten-
ton to this solemn and Instructive rite.
Few can witness its strange simplicity
and contemplate its fulness of meaning,
without secret desire, and half formed
purpose of heart to consecrate themselves
to the service of Christ. The Centurion
said, "0f truth, this was the Son of
God.'' Many sinner since his day has
been savingly convinced of the reality
and power of the Gospel, by witnessing
the awful scene set forth anew in the
Lords Supper.
One has little taste for criticism when
discussing subject like this. Allow me
however to suggest that the bread and
wine be placed upon the table before
hand, and decently covered over as our
Book directs. The elders who distribute
the symbols should be careful thatno one
is passed by who desires to commune
Nor is it seemly for them to crowd be-
tween the pews in order to pass the plate
or cup from one to another, as is some
times the case. 1t seems to be amply
sufficient for each receiver to pass 1t to
the next at his side, the officer taking it
into his hands again only when necessary
or convenient. If we held to the doc
trine that virtue proceeds directly from
the officer to each receiver, then we mil ght
admit that the officer must give the cup
to each receiver with his own hands
But we hold no such doctrine of trans
mission of grace. The officer is only
the divinely appointed distributor. AS
stewards of the mysteries of God. the
officers of the church determine when and
to whom the emblems are to be given,
and then distribute them in whatever
manner may seem to be simplest and the
most for edifcation.

"reminiscences of a Pioneer.

1t has always seemed to me happy
ordering OF crovidence shat the Sen who
were first sent out as Superintendents of
Missions among the Cherokees and Choc-
taws were not only eminent for their pie
ty, but distinguished for their acquire
ments, wisdom, and gentlemanly deport-
ment. Of this class may be mentioned
the names of Washburn and Finney
among the Cherokees, and of Wright,
Kingsbury and Byington among the
Choctaws.
As my residence was at the capital of
the adjoining territory, l had frequent
opportunities of witnessing the respect
shown to these self-sacrifcing men by
the officers of the civil government, and
other distinguished citizens, when they
called at the seat of government, as they
often did, while on their iourneyings to
and from their stations. Itseemed taken
for granted that the influence of such
men would be most salutary upon the
minds of the savage population among
whom they labored. Nor were they mis-
taken; for more friendly or peaceable
neighbors could no where be found than
were the red men upon our borders.
The difficulties attendant upon the in
PRODUCTION of Christianity among peo-
pie strictly pagan, can be but imperfect
ly conceived by those who have been ac-
customed from infancy to the surround
ings of its hallowed influences. 1t is not
to be expected that the god of this world
will yield up that dominion which he has
held with undisputed sway for countless
generations, without determined con-
fict. This was found to be true among
the Indians. No sooner had the Gospel
begun to exert its restraining and sancti-
tying influences upon the hearts and lives
of some of them than parties arose who
exerted their utmost energies to resist its
progress,
One of the most thrilling narratives to
which | ever listened was from the lips
of one who had been present at coun-
Gil held in one of those tribes, whose OBJ
iect was to decide whether the religion OF
the Son Of God should be permitted any
longer to exert its influences among
them, or their old customs to be held IN
violable.
The nation, or one division of it, was
about equally divided on this question
. A time was appointed to decide the point
The respective parties met day or twc
previous upon the same plain. A dis
tinet line was drawn between their en-,
campments. Intense interest was felt on
both sides. The ghtprevlous was spen'
in dancing and heather revelries, by the
party opposed to Christianity. The mis-
sionary from whom had the narrative
, whose anxiety for the result of the pend
ing council held him sleepless, remarked
that there was no point of time during
, the entire night in which the voice o

CHURCH AsLEEP.-I used to hear a
woman say, half ip irony, of one Of her
boys, that he was "a very good boy when
he was asleep" This is never true of
Christians or of churches. The worst
conduct that churches are ever guilty of,
occurs, almost invariably, when they are
asleep. Sleeping churches are not al
ways inactive. They often exhibit
species of somnambulism-asleep as to
healthy functions and useful Offices, but
performing herculean feats of perverse-
ness, quarreling with each other, expell-
ing their pastors, and repudiating their
obligations. The religion of Journalism
is but kind of somnambulistic perform
ance.

On the distant fields was the sunlight spread;
And the river, too on its winding way,
Was glaneing bright in the gOldea ray.

The Remorse of Judas.
/" Friend, wherefore art thou come9'

"Friend, wherefore art thou comeF
The shortness of time that elapsed be-
tween the act of treachery of Judas, and
his suicide, surprises every reader. Ju-
das entered the garden about midnight
of Thursday, and hanged himself not long
after six o'clock Friday morning. Mat
thew fixes the time of his repentance
(change of mental condition) at the mo-
ment when he saw that Jesus was con-
demned. May we not suppose that the
process of sorrow which ended in despair,
began when he heard the remarkable
words of his Master, "Friend, where-
fore" (some translate the words "against
whom,") cart thou come" Accompa-
MED by these other words, "Betrayest
thou the Son of Man with kiss ?"
A single look from Jesus opened the
food gates of saving repentance in the
heart of Peter, and these words to Ju-
das, from Him whose look of majesty
cast backward to the ground those who
first undertook to arrest him, whose
glance hereafter will be SO terrible to his
enemies that they will call on the rocks
and hills to fall on them, were sufficient
to send the barbed arrow of remorse in
to the heart of the traitor.
Wherefore had he come? Against
whom? From what motive? To what
result? Judas had come into the garden
withou, ever bsviSs Ss,,,szvEssa or 'answered-
these questions for himself. Now he is
compelled by Divine power to ask and
answer them. Now all disguise is torn
away. Now he sees his wickedness and
his ruin. He had come to betray inno-
cent blood-the Son of God-for money,
and his immortal soul was lost.
Judas had been upheld by power not
his own. He had been blinded by the
devil. Satan, the Scriptures tell us, had
entered his heart. But now Christ casts
out the devil and leaves Judas helpless.
Rather, the fend deserts his victim in his
need, and mocks his agony, as did the
Pharisees afterward. One glimmer of
hope fingers around the edge of the des-
pair of Judas. Though betrayed, Christ
may not be condemned.
Christ is serene at the judgment seat,
but Judas is in agony. Oh wherefore
did he 60 into the garden The sentence
of condemnation is pronounced. Judas
receives it in the centre of his soul. His
soul is dead
Oh the sweetness of Christ's words,
"Come unto me all ye that labor and
are heavy laden, and l will give you
rest" How terrible the words, "Be-
cause l have called and ye refused; l
have stretched out my hand and no man
regarded; but ye have set at naught all
