Gods Hidden Ones"

They are hidden from men, but not from
God. He beholds them in the humble abodes
of poverty, in chambers of protracted sick
ness and suffering, and in limited and narrow
spheres. For long years some of them have
been missed from all the active scenes Of
life. Their seats are vacant in the house Of
God, where they loved to resort. They shall
worship no more on earth in the "great con-
gregatiOn." But, purified by the discipline
of trial, they shall at length come forth as
gold, and unite with the innumerable COM
pany of the redeemed, in "nobler worship
above. Seemingly to themselves, and to
others, they may be living in vain. Days
and weeks may pass, and not human face
may they see outside of their little household
Though not dead, they are buried. But by
prayer they still have power with God, and
call down blessings upon those who know
them not.
Several years ago small church, strug
Cling for existence in the midst of prevailing
errQrs and wickedness, was suddenly visited
with precious revival, in which gOOdly
number were added unto the Lord. Th,
members of the church were taken by sur
prise. 1t was not what they were expecting
But an aged smother of Israel" who fO
years had been confined to her retired room
by her in6rmities, said that she was not sur
prised. Itwas just what she had been pray
ing for, and looking for. Though hiddel
from the busy world, and even from he
brethren and sisters of the church, she wa
not hidden from God. He hesrkened an
heard her fervent prayers; and in answer
souls were converted to ChriSt.-America
Messenger.

Grafton of these children, accompanied and

Grafton should secure, and the children taugh,
from infancy to regard and conduct them
selves-not merely as members of Christ 6
visible church-but as members of His mys-

under the injurious impression that they are
unconverted and aliens from Christ's love.
What stumbling block and source of sad
backsliding is here! Suppose that adult
Christians were treated thus by their pastors
and friends, and that they were thus induced
to regard themselves as unregenerate; would
they not, in many instances, wander off, and
having lost the restraints of church fellow

would they not fall into open sin, and 60 on

arrest them and bring them back2 Who of
US could afford to do without our hope in
Christ? Who does not value the precious
helps and restraints of Christian fellowship? !?

things may be freely given to his little lambs,
and that so they may be kept and established
in the faith and hope of the gospel.

AND THE LORD SHUT HIM IN.

More than thousand years had rolled along
Ere this fair world to being had been called,
When wiekedness supreme reigned over all
And God repented that he had made man

For nothing pure and holy doth remains
All is corrupt Nay, one doth worship me;
Nosh Just and perfect man, shall hve.'
Then God communed with Noah, and he bsde
Him build an ark, to save himself and wife
His children also for the fathers sake
He'd save. More than hundred years he toiled
And when twas done, God said, g Now will bring
A food of water to destroy sll flesh
Thee only viii save. Come thou and all
Thy house into the ark, and with thee bring
Beasts clean and uncean, to preserve each KIND
Noah obeysd. And the Lord shut him in.
What msttered it, that rain in torrents fell,
To that small band. God with His own right hand
Securely closed the door. Why should they tesrY
And YET when clouds were dark, and winds were
high,
And like qu.seripsx, ,eaf their bark was tossed
sometimes on topmost wave, then quite submerged,
When all the world receded from their view
And naught but water, dark, cold fathomless,
Could be discerned, perchance they wrung their
hands
And cried, "Wen sl be lost. Oh, why must we
Who served the Lord endure this fearful Storm
Could not one place have been reserved by Him
Who rules O. er all, where we might quietly
Have looked on this destruction, and been safe"
o vel whom Jesus blood has freed from sin,
When storms arise, and foods almost o'erwhelm,
See'st thou the hand that safely closed the door2
What though the world itself should be destroyed,
Thou caust not perish. AL the adverse winds
Are but to try thy faith.

The Bouquet. and the Bible.

On fine summer day, an unexpected
shower drove two or three little parties into
cottage for temporary shelter. A Bible
and a bouquet of flowers lay upon the table.
A shrewd looking man, one of the company,
approached the table. He was an in6del.-
He opened the Bible, then closed it again
with smile that was mingled with derision
He then took up the bouquet. "This suits
me best, said he with an exulting air, for
it has no mystery; can understand it. Its
colors are fair, and its scent delightful"
Saying this, he pulled flower from the bou-
quet and stuck it in his bosom. A pause
succeeded; but it was soon broken by an
old gentleman, whose meek and mercy-loving
face was grateful to gaze upon, and whose
gray hair entitled him to respect. He had
heard the observation of the infdel, and
felt anxious to counteract it's Influences
Advancing to the table, he also took DIP the
bouquet. "How beauteous in His gifts"
said he, g is the father of mercies How
delicately formed are these.beautiful flowers
how rich are their varied tints, and how
sweet is the fragrance they exhale but shall
we forego thej JOY of inhaling their fragrance,
and the delight of gazing upon their beauty,
because we cannot explain the hidden mys-
teries of their existence? We know not how
the dry, husky, unsightly seed, when set in
the ground, could start up into such glorious
forms; we cannot tell how it is, that from
the same soil such different stems should
spring, and on the same flower such varied
tints appear; nor know we why some of the
fairest and sweetest of flowers should be
thickly pointed with thorns. These things
are mysteries; but if We wait till We can
comprehend them, the flowers will fade away,
for their life ID short. And why should We
not 2" confined he, putting down the bou-
quet and taking up the Bible, "why should
we not use the Word of God in the same
way? Mysteries it has, which its Almighty
Author alone can explain. But shall We
waste our short lives in brooding over them,
and neglect the greater part, which is quite
plain, and overlook the manifold mercies it
proffers for our acceptance Let US leave,
then, all mysteries, both of nature and grace,
till it shall please God to unravel them to our
understanding; and, in the meantime, let US,
while rejoicing that Gods works and Word
both show that He is the Wonderful, CRATE
fully place the glowing flowers of the bou-
quet in our bosoms, and the gracious conso-
lations of the Bible in our hearts.

of executive power. If we are to have, a
some apprehend, an imperial rule, the gov
ernment will be perfectly consolidated. Ii
any event, there will be as much consollda
tion as is compatible with Republican instl
tutions. 1t is very evident that the South
ern States are chained to the Northern fol
generations, if not for centuries to come.
The action of the Church of Christ ought
not, however, to be had directly or mainly
with view to the promotion of the interests
of the civil government. 1t is true that it
does promote incidentally all human interests,
but the first consideration of the Church
ought to be in what manner it may best pro-
mote the spiritual welfare of mankind. 1t
would seem stretch of its jurisdiction to
legislate directly with view either to the
destruction or to the preservation of the
union. To make it an engine of political
power, except incidentally, were to pervert
it from its true purposes and to degradejt.
Grant that reconstruction would be advanced
by " friendly correspondence" may there
not be regard for spiritual interests of the
highest character, that forbids that CORES
pondence ? We believe that organic union
on our part with the Northern Assembly
would be, in the present state of things,
highly injurious to the spiritual prosperity
of this portion of the American Zion.
Nothing but an organic union of the two
Churches would ever satisfy the North. But
there is no reason why church should be
co-terminous with the boundaries of ma.
ton; and the opinion that it must be has a
close connection with the idea of national
church, or the idea of the union of Church
and State, and arose from it. An organic
union with the Presbyterian churches of
other countries is unnecessary, and undesira-
BILE, and even impracticable. Yet some i'm
agine that there ought to be an organic union
of all the churches of Christendom, thing
without universal Bishop, or
in other words without Pope.
We trust that the article in the Observer
has not been written with view to intimi-
dation. 1t represents the Southern Assem-
bly, as presenting the chief obstacle to
complete reconstruction of the government.
Is this written to bring odium on us, or is
it written to frighten US? Whatever its de-
sign, it is not true. The next step that may
be proposed may be to remove the odious
obstacle by violence. We trust that there
IS no intention to bring US into friendly rela-
lion and organic union with the Northern
Church, at the point of the bayonet.
The New York Observer highly approves
If the opposition of Mr.. Gladstone to the
claim of the Pope of Rome to civil power.
But is it not upholding the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of America in
;he same assumption of power, when it vr-
ualIy justifes its right to do what the Pope
claims the right to do, viz to utter ecclesi-
lstical anathemas against men on account of
heir political opinions and conduct?

The Synod of Virginia, exercising its con-
stitutional power 10 take order for promot.
ing the edifcation of the churches and peo-
pie under its care: deeply sensible of the in
creasing necessity, and Importance of form.
ing and executing well digested scheme of
systematic benevolence, whose operation may
be salutary and efficient, permanent and ex-
tensive; and confident, that the piety and
intelligence of the ministers and people, will
cordially sustain such scheme, hereby en-
acts:
|. Annual contributions to the objects of
our present Ecclesiastical Boards shall be
solicited from every church in the bounds of
this Synod. Church sessions are left to de-.
wise the means they may judge best, for Sc.
curing such contributions; but they are
affectionately urged to provide, that every
member of the Church may be personally
invited, by proper officers, to give according
to ability, however small the amount.
II. All ministers having charges, and the
Delegates from vacant churches, shall be
called on at each spring meeting of Presby-
terry or oftener to report their diligence in
the performance of the duties herein con.
templated. The acting Moderator of Pres
bytery shall make the inquiry and cause his
report of the result to be spread on the Re-
cords'of Presbytery.
III. Every minister having charge shall
read this Act to his people and also preach
a sermon on the subject of Christian benevo
lence on some Sabbath in the month of May
next; and thereafter as occasion requires
shall himself or by some proper agent, in.
struct the people in the claims of our several
objects of benevolence and the Christian
duty and privilege of sustaining them by
aims and prayers.
IV. The stated times for contributions to each o
our benevolent causes has since been arranged b,

VI. The several Presbyteries composin,
this Synod are hereby enjoined to take sucl
order on this act at their next semi. annua
meetings as may appear to them best for ex
ecuting its provisions; and to avoid conflict

/" he Leadeth Me-"

There is special interest in every item
of information in regard to those hymns
which have taken strong hold on the feel
ings of Christians and secured permanent
place in our hymn-books. Every one who
has not already been attracted by the hymn,
whose title we place at the head Of this arti.
Gle, will probably soon become familiar with
it. For the benefit of such we produce it
with few words as to it's authorship, and
the circumstances which called it forth:
He leadeth me! oh! blessed thought,
Oh! words with heavenly comfort fraught,
Whate'er do, wheree be,
Still It's Gods hand that lesdeth me
He leadeth me he leadeth me
By his own hand he leadeth me;
His faithful follower would be-,
For by his hand he leadeth me.
Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Edens bowers bloom,
BY waters still, DER troubled sea
= Still tits his ksud that leadeth Ine.
He leadeth me, etc.
Lord, would clasp thy hand in mine,
Not ever murmur nor repine-
Content, whatever lot see,
Since It's my God that leadeth me.
He eadeth me, etc.
And when my task on earth is done,
When, by thy grace the victory's won.
Fen deaths cold wave will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

Professor in Rochester University, New
