For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
Joseph of Arimathea.

We have already said that commendable as was
the character of Joseph, he was not not without
sin. He was but a man, and mo man liveth and
sinneth not" Nor is any attempt made to con-
ceal or palate his foibles This indeed the Scrip
lures never do Hence John affirms that he was
a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the
Je,oS." This fear of man was indeed blemish
on this otherwise lovely character. He was CEN
suraby timid at one time but commercially cour-
ageous at another; and both are stated by the sa-
cred historians with equal dstiuctness and candor.
So also the fall of Peter and the sins of David are
as fully recorded as are the purity of John, and
the unfaltering faith of Paul Unlike all mere
human productions, the Scriptures invariably
represent human nature, whether in its sanctifed
or unsanctifed state precisely as it is. They make
no attempts at concealment-they offer no apollo
gies. In the case OF Joseph there was much to be
said in extenuation of his former course, but the
evangelists did not say it. This was left to much
later PERIOD and to much inferior hands. DR..
Rambach, Professor in the University of Glessen
Germany, thus defended him century and half
ago. Dr. R. says that, this censurable weakness
in Joseph appeared in the earlier part of his life
while the blessed Saviour was alive, and while he
was esteemed, followed and admired by multitudes
1t was then that Joseph was secret disciple for
fear of the Jews; whereas now, when the Saviour
was dead, and when his cause appeared desperate
when all the disciples, except few women, had
forsaken him and fed-wheu the once brave Peter
had denied him thrice-it was then that the fear
of Joseph vanishes. and then that he shows him
self the fearless disciple of one whom the Roman
soldiers, and the Jewish rulers had crucifed and
slain" Thus through faith, small nits beginning,
he had riumphed over the attractions of the world
and the fear OF man which bringeth snare "
His courage rose as the exgences of his condition
increased, and his services were the most freely
rendered when they we're most pressingly needed.
1t is further said in commentator of Joseph
that, "he waited for the kingdom of Cod From
this it appears that his mind was free from the
narrow prejudices of his countrymen who were be.
wildered by the expectation of a worldly kingdom
signalized by outward pomp and splendor. He
waited for the hngdons of God, and not Of man.
He looked for spiritual kingdom, founded by the
Messiah, and destined to endure forever, and knew
that it vas to such kingdom our Lord referred
when he said it had come already, and that it was

DEATH OF REV. t. WALKER e1LMER.

The Editor of this paper received by telegram
from Fredericksburg, Va, on the 5th inst, the
startling intelligence of the sudden death of this
beloved brother, with request to attend mis-
funeral on Tuesday afternoon.
By this event many hearts will be bowed down
under inexpressible sorrow. Mr.. GImer was
among the most acceptable and useful pastors in
our Synod. How admirably he was making full
proof of his ministry, and how rapidly he was
growing in influence and in the affections OF the
whole community they only can most fully I'M
derstand.
He was married last fall, and had but recently
entered their sweet home in the manse. :" The
bereavement felt under this deep afiietiOn-felt
in so many ways, is such as tongue cannot tell
A more full sketch will be given next week. In
the meantime, let all who find themselves so deep
ly stricken, ,smitten of God aud afflicted re,
member Him who has thus visited them, and rest
in the assurance that while He does many things
darby and strangely to our view, He really does
all things wisely and well The prayers also of
thousands will be with them in their calamity
A slip from one of the Fredericksburg evening
papers of Monday has since reached US, from
which we make few extracts
Yesterday, Mr. Gimer preached three times
twice in his own church, and once IN Falmouth.
This morning he arose as usual aud went to work
about clock in the garden attached to the manse.
In short time he returned to the house, and sit
ting down on a step complained OF numbneSS and
pain in the side. Mrs. Gilmer suggested the APP
plieation of mustard plaster and at once went to
prepare it. Immediately thereafter he arose, hur-
ried up stairs diSrobed himself, and laid down on
the bed. His wife was soon at his side, and eX
hibiting deep concern he gently soothed her, telling
her not to be alarmed, but falling back on the pill
low at the same time, she ran out and called DR..
Rose. Before the return of either, the spirit was
with its God From the time of his first com
plaining until he a corpse was not probably
over ten minutes.
The beloved pastor who diseoursed last night
In his church on the text Son give me thy
heart, has already realized the blesSedneSS Of hav
ing followed the Injunction be so urgently lncul
Gated He is gone! but he leaves us a record bright
and full with displays Of sch abnegation and self
denial for the Master cause.
The close of his prayer last night comes to us as
peculiarly impressive under the sOemnlteS OF this
hour, viz: That such as were spared to meet to-
gether the net Sabbath should come with renewed
eArnestneSs; and pauSing he continued il any
are taken before the coming Sabbath, may they
obtain that better home, In the bosom Of their
Father and God
