bosom of the Church of Scotland. When
convicted the interest in religion was evident
from their deep earnestness. They would
leave the house of God in sadness and retire
to a lonely place, in some cases hay-loft
or smoke house, and pour out the burdened
spirit into the arms of Jesus and come forth
rejoicing in hope. We conversed with many,
and could see that the influences of the home
teachings, received perhaps a score OF years
before in far off land, were bearing their
fruit. The bread had been cast upon the
waters, but it was not lost.
II. The zeal with which the new converts
commenced working for Christ is worthy OF
note and imitation. They would seek out
their irreligious friends and walk with them,
and speak of the love of Christ, and strive to
them to seek the Lord.
III. Again, we observed that in proper
tion to their means they were more liberal
in their contributions to the support of the
ministry than many of the American Chris
tians. Every male member of the church is
either engaged in mining or farming on
small scale. Yet, men whose property all
told would amount to but few hundreds of
dollars, would subscribe more to pastoral
support than some old church members who
are worth thousands. A collection for For
eign Missions gave the cause $19.35.
Brethren, we ask your prayers for this in

ark of God, because others carriedlt besides
the Leyites; therefore David says, "None
ought to carry the ark but the Levites only;
for them hath the Lord chosen to carry the
ark of God and to minister unto him for
ever. And because one presumed to touch the
ark that was not of the sons of Aaron, the
Lord made breach upon them, and covered
their day of rejoicing with cloud in his
anger"
Tennent, in letter to President Ed
wards Csee Hodges History Presbyterian
Church, part II, p. SO, uses the following
language: GAS to the subject you mention,
of laymen being sent out to exhort and teach,
supposiug them to be real converts, | cannot
but think, if it be encouraged and continued,
it will be of dreadful consequence to the
Church's peace and soundness in the faith.
1t is bass presumption, whatever zeal he
pretended to. Notwithstanding, for any per-
s-n t. tsse this honor to themselves, unless
they be called of God, as was Aaron. L
know most young zealots are apt, through
ignorance, reconsideration and pride of heart,
to undertake what they have no proper
qualifications for; and through their impru-
dence and enthusiasm the Church of God
suffers l think all that fear God should
rise and crush the enthusiastic creature in
the egg. Dear brother, the times are dan
gerous. The Churches in America and else
where are in great danger of enthusiasm.
We need to think of the maxim Prineipiis
O5sta. "This irregularity," continues DR..
Hodge, "was freely condemned also by the
Association of Connecticut, the Convention
of Massachusetts,, and the Assembly of Pas
tors of Boston. Yet it was through these
lay exhorters, encouraged by few such
ministers as Davenport and Mr.. Park, of
Rhode Island, that fanaticism and false reli-
gion we're most effectionately promoted
among the churches.
Such is the testimony of men who cape
rienced the evils of that system which we
propose formally to sanction and adopt
But surely we forget the teachings of our
past history, and overstep the well defined
limits of our system of government, when
we introduce such practice. We may not
see the evil we have done, while the bosom
of the deep is smooth and calm, but where
deep religious awakening prevails, the film
sy bands by which this section is proposed
to be restricted, will be burst asunder and
we will then learn its nature. NJ.

Waysides.

While preaching short time since, at a
school house, in retired corner of my large
field, I made the following point:
God has an individual work for each
Christian to perform, and He casts his lot
lust where He has use for him. Though we
NAV feel at times tossed about by something
very like chance, it is not SO; the ordination
of the AllWise rules in our wanderings and
soiournings, and puts us down in the house
and in the community where we can do the
most good and where we are most needed.
A spirit of romance tells US now and then
that under other circumstances and in other
localities we could accomplish wonders. The
fact is. if a man neglects duty in the posi-
tion in which Providence has placed him, he
would neglect duty anywhere. Each Chris
tian may go forth as daily missionary
around his own home, assured that he holds
credentials from God for special work then
and there. The Lord of the harvest sets us
down in the very place where the call is the
loudest-in the very place where our qualf
cations fit us for the greatest usefulness-in
the very place where our duties are thickest.
After closing the services a gentleman said
to me: "Brother Bowen, you hit the nail on
the head to-day. YOnder goes man who
is living demonstration to this people Of
every word you said. Through losses during
the war he was compelled to give up his old
home and his church privileges, and move to
this destitute neighbOrhood. We, of his fel-
low church-members, considered his removal
misfortune to himself and the cause OF
Christ. Very seldom had a sermon ever
been heard near here. The people cared
nothing for the Gospel. 1t was hard COM

munity. You have expressed your gratifica-
ton at the way the congregation listened to
your message, and the deep solemnity evident
ly upon the audience. There are now
number of professors associated in weekly
prayer meetings, and good Sunday School.
You see there is fair prospect for church.
All this is to be attributed under God to
that one man. For some time he stood alone.
All was cherries and unpromising. AT
length his strong Christian character began
to tell. He prayed and talked, and hoped
and exemplifed our Christianity in his daily
walk. It was felt. And, to-day, family
after family are indebted, under God, to his
zeal and piety for dear ones born into the
kingdom. l point you to houses in which
prayer is ascending now where prayer was
never known before. How clearly we now
see the hand of God in his transplanting

devout spirit, an humble heart, loving, trust
ing, worshipping, exhibiting as much the
fervors of the Christian as the splendors OF
genius-could not be expected to occupy Its
earthly house until three-score years and
ten. At the age of ffty-three the "pins of
the tabernacle" dropped out, and the faith
full tenant went forth to his Fathers house
If DIR. Arnot has not, in this life of Ham
ilton, successfully "set trap to catch sun
BEAM" he has, in the color of truth, with a
clear eye to all the lines in the character of
his subject, had the skill "to paint sam
5eamr" In the "life" as in a prison, we
see the blended hues of hanscendent na-
tire. Genius and piety can go together--
Science and Christianity may be loved
and trusted by the same mind. GOO reveals
himself in creation, but more fully in the
inspired book. A great and good soul feels
the power of each, and in its owa concep'
tions and life illustrates their lsimony.-
While the Christian will find nfssh in the
life of Hamilton to stimulate faith and de-
votion, the minister of the gospel may gather
therefrom an example of manliness, of man.
Iozaness, of genial charity, mingled with
resolute purpose, of stern orthodoxy, clothed

For THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN,
LIFE OF DIR. HAMILTON.

The life of this distinguished and very
popuiar Presbyterian minister of London,
has been just published by Carter & Broth
ers, of New York. 1t is written by Rev.
VIM. ArnOt, of Scotland, who is now on a
visit to this country. In reading it my eye
lights upon various matters which might in
terest the readers of the Central Presbyte-
rian. 1 therefore make up miscellany of
brief extracts. They belong to the early
period of his life, except the last.
SIR HUMPHREY DAvY.
"For two days l have been engaged with
out ceaging in reading Sir H. Davy's Life, a
book which, when l once begin, do not
know when or how to leave off, What an
astonishing man he was One would think
that nothing in the world escaped his notice,
but the God who made it. He appears to
have gained everything but the thing most
desired, and that was happiness. As far as
l may Judge from his Memoirs, he had none
of tdat to spare; and the reason is plain, be-
cause he sought it in meat and drink, in the
theatre, the ballroom, and the billiard table,
in his medals, and his laboratory, instead OF
seeking it where alone it has ever been
found-in God. Ny prayer to God would
be, Lord, make me a Christian philoso-
pher, or none at all. Withhold this world
learning from me, if the price of it is to be
my interest in the Saviour.
PILGRIMS PROGRESS.
"Was chiefly occupied in reading the
Pilgrims Progress, with Scott'S notes.
Many have considered this book next in val.
ue to the Bible, and of any books l have
yet read, it is certainly the chief. The
cause of its being so good is that it has Sc
much of the Bible in it. Reading it with
self application I thought that l had good
hope through grace that was travelling the
pilgrims road to the celestial city; but my
conscience bears me witness that in nothing
do equal Christian, save in his deViations
from the strait and narrow way; and in
these am more than his equal. If the
Lord would only bling me back to himself as
often as 1 wander from his good ways, lei
him do what seemeth him good with me, as
far as other things are concerned.
FAITHFULNEss TO GOD.
"I have again and again found myself
more willing to pass by wrong thing III
another, as if 1 had not observed it, than in,
cur the bad opinion or ill-will of man by
standing up for the honor of God-as if the
good opinion of man were better than the
favor of God. 0 Lord, lay not these sins tc
my charge. Against these would espe,
cially watch and strive in the time to come
by the aid of Divine grace"
LAST HOURS.
Believing his departure at hand, he dictated
a solemn farewell to his congregation ant
his friends. After giving messages of love
to all, he added, "If any inquire the grounds
of my confidence, it is not that 1 have beer
minister of the Gospel, or have been KEEP
from sin, for I feel utterly unworthy. Ny
hope is in the mercy of God through Jesus
Christ, and in that blood which cleansetl
from all sin, and 1 wish to go into Godi
presence as the rest have gone--a sinner
saved by graee,-a sinner saved By grace.

last resting place the remains of one Of its
aged and most influential citizens, in the
person of DR.. P. R. Berkeley; and the veil
of mourning has fallen upon household so
lately lit up by the sunny smiles of happy
faces; therefore, be it
Resolved 1st. That in this bereavement,
a family has lost an honored and revered
head; the community one of its most worthy,
useful and influential citizens, who will be
honored for his unexceptionable character,
both civil and religious, no less than for his
professional skill; the church one of her
tried and faithful office bearers, who has left
noble example of Christian virtue and use
fulness, by which, che being dead yet speak
eth :" this institution one of the oldest, yet
most energetic of her 'board of trustees, A." in
whose thoughts her welfare ever occupied
an important place; and to whose heart her
every interest was dear.
End. That this affiiction has sandered
many tender ties, left bleeding and torn the
hearts of lovingrelatives, and made a vacancy
in the great heart of the community; that
many have lost wise and fatherly counsel
lor; and all, an esteemed friend.
Ord. That we humble ourselves before Al
mighty God, acknowledging that He does
all things well; SO that, suffering these light
affections which last but for a moment, to
work out for us a far more exceeding and
eternal weight of glory; the cloud of His
wrath may soon be replaced by the sunshine
of His favor, and the rod of His chastise-
ment by the out-stretched arm of His love.
4th. That since the spirit of the deceased
has winged its flight to the joys of the eter-
nal world, We second the example of. his
noble life, and the glorious triumph Of his
Christian death, in commenting to the sur
viving kindred of the sainted relative, the
consultations of the Gospel of the grace of
God: for where the Lord has torn, He will
heal, and where He has smitten, He will bind
up.
5th. That the Society wear the usual
badge of mourning for thirty days. Z p a
9th. That two copies of these resolutions
be forwarded for publication, one to the
Central Presbyterian, and the other to the
Christian Obseruer; also, that copy be
presented to the family of the deceased with
the tenderest sympathy and consolation of
the Philanthropic Society.
7th. That tribute of esteem and afec-
tion, paid the aged by the young, is proper,
and is pleasing in the eyes of both God and
man; and therefore, we make no apology
for offering these resolutions. That since
the deceased was an honorary member of the
Philanthropc Society, and always took a
deep interest in her welfare, We regard him
as venerable father, and the dutiful son does
not apologize for the last tribute Of filial love
to departed parent.
