ENGLISH CLERGY AS PoLTTICIANs.-TheP GH
Mall Gazette regards the English clergy as Pc
culiarly unfortunate IN their general advocacy
of political questions. Speaking from the ex.
perience Of the last sixty years, one cannon Dut
see that every measure which they have yea
lously supported has proved q failure; every
step in politics which they have strongly OPP
posed has succeeded; every statesman Whom
they have worshipped has abandoned them
every proceeding which they have denounced
after their peculiar fashion, not as u mere er-
Tor, but crime, has succeeded, and no body
seemed one penny the worse" They nave
stuck manfully, a body, to the best OF kings,
George the Fourth, and his memory now speaks
for itself. They opposed as body the Roman
Catholic relief measures, one after announcer,
with far more energy than they now display IN Il,
favor of the Irish Church. They opposed all
relaxations of tho laws against Dissenters.-
They opposed CHAT is, the great majority OF

The Joys of Heaven not to be Expressed.

St. Augustine tells US, that, one day
while he was about to write something upon
the eighth verse of the thirty-sixth Psalm,
ssThou shalt make them drink of the rivers
of thy pleasures" and being almost swal-
lowed up with the contemplation of heavenly
joys, one called unto him very loudly by his
name, and inquiring who it was, he answered,
81 am Heron, with whom in thy lifetime
thou hadst so much conference concerning
doubts in Scripture, and am now best ex-
perienced to resolve thee of any doubts con-
cerning the joys of heaven; but only let me
first ask thee this question, "Art thou able
to put the whole earth, and all the waters
of the sea, into little pot2 'Canst thou
measure the waters in thy fist? and mete
out heaven with thy span? or weigh the
mountains in scales, and the hills in bal
ance?" If not, no more is it possible that
thy understanding should comprehend the
least of those joys" And certainly the
joys of heaven are inexpressible, so says
St. Paul. Il Cor. ii. g. The eye may see
far, it may reach the stars, but not the joys
of heaven; the ear may extend itself great
deal further than the eye, as to know the
glory of all the monarchies that are past,
the glory of all things that now are, and
all the things that are foretold shall be, and
yet our ears have never heard of anything
like this joy; but the understanding appre-
hendeth things that are and are not, and by
divine power calleth things that are not as
if they were, Disputat de quOh6et ente ct
NON emte. 1t imagineth mountains of gold,
and heaven to be place of infinite JOY, and
yet the heart of man cannot comprehend
this joy. Such are the great expressions of
the impossibility of expressing it at all.

Long Sermons.

One of our readers, who is not disposed
to be captious, requests us to suggest to our
ministerial brethren that long sermons are
not usually for edifcation. We have no
sympathy with the dilettante religion that
cannot sit quiet under discourse of more
than twenty minutes, nor with those who
whould make half an hour the preachers
maximum but it might be well for minis
ters to remember that there is reason in all
things, and that sermons may sometimes ex-
ceed the bounds of propriety. 1t is diff
cult matter, as we know, to judge in ad-
vance, when sitting down to write sermon,
as to what it may grow to when the warm
current of thought has been once fairly un-
loosed; and it is no easy matter Cor an ex-
tempore speaker to put down his brakes and
come to halt when he has on a full head
of steam; but compactness and brevity are
merits in public speaker of sufficient value
to be made a special study. Most topics for
Sabbath services can be as well discussed in
forty minutes as an hour, and the kind feel
ings of the congregation at the close of the
shorter time would be far more than COM
pensation for any prospect of good there
might be for haranguing them the extra
twenty minutes There are few offences
which hearers regard with less allowance
than tediousness. To give SinjaIl
putation for preaching long SU0l
determine many persons against attendl(
his church.
Whilst on this topic, We might perhaps
with propriety say word against long
prayers but those addicted to this practice
are probably beyond reform. Though gen.
tie and broad hints have brought their er-
ror, in this respect, before them an hundred
times, they continue steadfastly in the old
way, making "the long prayer" every
Sabbath morning so long as to afford in the
hearts of the congregation an illustration of
the ,apothegm that "devotion ends where
WEAKNESS begins" If our ministerial breth-
ren could bring themselves to make faith
full trial of short sermons and short prayers,
we feel assured both themselves and their
people would be satisfied with the expert
ment.-Erchange Paper.
