MiGister Matiey in England.


Our new minister to Great Britain,
Mr. J Lathrop Motley, has landed
on the shores Of England, and was
very warmly received by the Eng
lish people. lie was waited on by
the Liverpool Chamber Of Commerce,
and welcomed ia an address flattering
to himself ana friendly to his coun-
try. expressing anxiety that friendly
intercourse between the two coun-
tries NAV ever be maintained. Mr..
Motley replied, expressing his high
appreciation Of the friendly senti-
ments towards America, and assured
them that during the period Of his
Office. he should endeavor to promote
good understanding between two ma
tions Of the same race. bound by a
unity Of interests hitherto unequaled.
The best and highest purposes of
both were fulfilled By Faithful friend
ship. The American people and the
American Government desired ami

On Lhc bass Of Justice and a just re-
gard 70 the rights and duties of both.
1t was the earnest wish of America
to extend commerce, but the ques-
tion Of free trade was beyond the linn
its Of his functions, its settlement
being vested by the people in Con
gress.
With Mr.. Motley instead of
spoony Reverdy Johnson at the Brit
ish court, we have reasonable hope
of a satisfactory settlement of the
difficulties with that country. The
English press, almost without e1cep-
ton talk hopefully Of amicable set

standing by the American Govern

have an influence to bring the haugh-

promise of making us an able repre-
sentative and we have confidence
that he viii be steadfast in his course.

True JOY the Gift of God.

True joy is the gift of God; is grace of
the Spirit of God. 1t has God for its author,
and God for its object; and it has this pre-.
rogative annexed to it, that no one can
destroy this gift of grace. The Lord Christ
declares, that he will not suffer any creature
to take away what he bestows; what rich
cordial was this to his detected apostles
They were mourning on account of his leav
ing them, and were sadly ca& down, as men
without hope. But he revives their droop-
ing hearts with promise-"I will see you
again, and your hearts shall rejoice, and
your JOY no one taketh from you" This is
indeed strong consolation; for it is one OF
the streams which maketh glad the city of
Coda stream that never fails--it runs out
of the ocean of free grace, and none can
stop its running back into it. Not as the
world giveth give l unto you, says Jesus.
The world giveth empty joys; continueth
them by an uncertain tenure; and at last
takes away all its gifts, and leaves its de-
luded votary to suffer the vengeance of
eternal fire; whereas Christ gives what is
truly good, solid, and lasting. His gifts are
without repentance. He is of one mind in
continuing, as we'll as in giving: for his mo-
tives are in and of himself, and always the
same. His own mere love, his free-grace,
and the good pleasure of his own will, dis
pose him to give and to continue his favors;
and his one end is his own glory. Therefore
he will not take away the joy which he has
given, and he will suffer no one to take it
away. He secures by his power what he
gives by his love. Such is the believers
right to rejoice in the Lord Away. His title

THE LOVE OF THE SPIRIT =

One evidence of this love may be seen il
the fact that the Holy Spirit prepared fol
Us the Holy Scriptures. This blessed book
is his gift; for "holy men of old spake as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Next to the Fathers unspeakable gift of his
own Son, and the Spirits gift of himself, is
His gift of this volume of life; and the love
that brightens every page, is proof of the
love of Him who gave it.
How plainly too might the love of the
Spirit be shown from his agency in awaken
ing and converting men who are "dead in
trespasses and in SIM" What Jesus did on
earth was done in Judea; what be is now
doing for us is in heaven. But what the
Spirit does is within US. 1t is work deep
laid in our own vital experience-from its
first renewal to its lastpreparation for heaven
What love is there in aathese operations
Take the work of sanctifcation as an ex.
ample. Human influence can do great
deal in efecting certain changes in human
character, but this is an entire transforma.
ton. The very springs of our nature must
be laid hold of and controlled. Look at the
abode in which the Spirit comes to dwell.
That abode is the human heart. He who
knows that heart as no other ever can, has
declared that it is deceitful above all things,
and desperately wicked. How impure!
But he enters there to cast out all that is
vile, and to fill it with his own heavenly
graces. He comes to dwell there as our
counsellor, and guide and comforter.
What but love could prompt him to choose
such residence and prolong his stay in it p?
How much does He find every day to cause
him in sorrow to depart But how truly
does he seem to say-"I will never leave
thee nor forsake thee
Even of our poor bodies does this hold
good. The body of the believer dies, but
the Spirit claims if for Christ That body
was temple of the Holy Ghost, and death
does not change his love for it. That dust
must be precious, for is it not the dust of
his own temple? In His love he watches
over it, and at the appointed time it will be
gathered and quickened, and raised up in
glory.
Is there not, then, an unspeakable com
fort in this brief expression of the Apostle
"the love of the Spirit?" Would that we
knew more of what is meant by walking in
the comfort of the Holy Ghost
How careful ought we to be lest we grieve
that heavenly friend by whom "we are sealed
unto the day of redemption"
Blessed comferter,-descend and dwell in
US; make us what the renewed heart would
long to be; make us "meet for the inheri.
tance of the saints in light

TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

THE piece which is found below was published in
1S4S, for the B centenary celebration of the illus
trious Westminster Assembly Of Divines, by whom
the standards of the Presbyterian Church were
formed. The author of this production was Mrs. j..
L. Gray, (now deceased of Easton, Penn.,-to
whom the religious public is indebted for a number
of sweet illusions which they would not willingly
let die. To many of readers the piece here re-
published viii be fresh. To all its pelusal will be
very acceptable Now especially, when so many

against what they pleased to imagine was civil
treason" are themselves about to betray the time

it came from Westminster "two hundred years
ago." the sentiments of this article should be the
dearer to Southern Presbyterans, they stand fast
where their fathers stood, and ready to say of
al such mongrel eombinstions-"0 o my soul, come
not thou into their secret; unto their assembly,
mine honor be not thou united for in their

Familiarity with the Bible.

The Jews we're commanded not only to
render Themselves familiar with the precepts
of the Mosaic law, but they were to teach
tlm diligently unto their children. They

an Opportunity to do so could possibly be

with the abrogation of the ceremonial law,
but we hear the "Man of sorrows, and ac-
quainted with grief" saying, "Search the
Scriptures. "
Is this done? To so limited an extent by
the multitudes, that their ignorance of the
Bible is truly astonishing. Quotations from
it are so garbled that it is almost impossible
through them to recognize the original text,
and teachings are credited to it that do not
occur within its sacred lids. Take for in
stance, "God tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" found first in an old French chronicle
of the fourteenth century, (Dieu mesurs ls
veut an brebis tondu,) and large majority
will tell you it is from the Bible. Is there
any excuse for this? Certainly not, but
great reprehensibility attaches to it. The
days are past when the Word of God was
accessible to few favored monks; now it is
unclaimed and scattered broadcast in almost
every tongue. If you read only one book,
let that book be the Bible, for it is the great
repository of human knowledge. To it, the
