FRENCH PREACHERS.

The Contemporary Revisp (England) has an in
take the following about Saurin, one of the most
celebrated of the great Huguenot preachers, whose
sermons, translated into English, are well known
among u.s.
The son of q distinguished family at
Mines, he spent his youth at Geneva. Thor.
oughly indoctrinated in the tenets of Calvin
ism, he came to London, where he became
the minister of French church. From Eng
land he went to Holland, where the martyrs
of philosophy and of theology had found
welcome asylum, and it was at the Hague
that he celebrated his oratorical triumphs.
He had all the outward qualifications,
which, it is true, do not make an orator, but
without which success is rarely obtained
His appearance was imposing, his voice was
sonorouS, and his delivery was 80 fascinating
that one of his hearers, after having listened
to him for the first time, exclaimed, "Was it
an angel that spoks.er, a man?" His SER
mons were long; he preached never less than
an hour and half, but in those days the
length of sermons was not measured by time,
but by the interest of the subject and of the
method of its treatment.
The chasm between Saurin and his prede-
cessors, and, We are compelled to add, his
successors also, is very wide. The circum-
stances under which he delivered his dis.
courses were favorable. Far removed from
the din of theological polemics, in the pos.
session of complete liberty, and surrounded
by fashionable sympathetic audience, he
had few barriers to his eloquence. But he
was more than eloquent, he was an orator.
He leaves the dogma to take care of itself,
and chooses moral topic, bearing upon
life, with its everyday struggles and trials.
On these occasions he evinces both in his de.
scriptions (he had remarkable dramatic
power and in his direct applications and ap-
peals, great breadth of view combined with a
practical temper. The one keeps him from
losing himself in details; the other prevents
him from confning himself to generalties.
The divisions of his sermons are for the
greater part very ingenious. He pours a
wealth of learning on his subject, which even
then fatigued the audience, and which in our
days-days of the dei6cation of shallownesa
and of mediocrity-would be considered as
perfectly appalling. There is at times some
thing overwhelming about him; but he al.
ways gives one the idea of being possessed Of
an immense power to be welded at his good
pleasure. As to his style, it is at all times
transparent and simple.

FoR THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
THAT GREAT COMPANY.

When our Saviour was crucifed There
fOZlOs0sd ham great company of people and
yomsn, Which also bes0ailed and lamented
him." These words. mentioned only by
Luke, add deep and melancholy interest to
the scene. Who composed this great com
pany! 1t is not probable they were the
prOfessed disciples of Christ, though his per-
son, his doctrines and his wonderful works
were probably known to them. This may
be inferred from the fact that their sympa-
thy, so different from the barbarOus treat
ment received from others, was comfort to
the human soul of Jesus. These persons re-
membered the words and the wonderful
works which they had heard and seen, and
now they give the testimony of their grief
IS they "beWailed and lamented him" For
observe, it was Jesus, not the mslefsctors,
for whom they manifested this emotion. We
are therefore not to eonfOund their sorrow
with the sympathy which the common people
often feel in the case of criminals whom they
judge worthy of their fate.
"Bm Jesus, farming unto them, said,
daughters of Jerusalem, s0ssp not for me, bat
sCesp for yourselves and for your children. "
These seem to be the first words uttered by
our Saviour, after those addressed to Plate.
What pathetic tendernessl Bending under
the weight of bis cross, and 80 overborne as
to need the help of Simon the CyreniaD, yet
upon hearing this cry of lamentatiOn, he
stops, raises his voice, and by its mysterious
power arrests the procession of the multi
tudes moving onward to the sad spectacle on
Calvary. He speaks with the same peaceful,
tranquil dignity and power, as ever before.
He then turns their minds from what they
then saw, to the future which they did not
see, and as on the day of his triumphant en-
try into Jerusalem, so now again he fore
warns them of the dreadful judgments which
would soon oyerwhelm them. Their pity was
right and was grateful TO the Lord; yet it
was, in some respects, misplaced. Oppressed
as he appeared to be, be was marching on to
victory.
He said "ths days are coming $c. The
Roman legiOns would invest Jerusalem, and
lay it low, even with the ground. The city
would be filed with blood and carnage. The
days of wrath and vengeance foretold by the
prophets and by the Lord were to be full
filed. 1t was TO this national ruin, and the
long train of woes which were to attend that
race Of men from generation to generation,
even to the end of the times appointed for
the continuance of Gentle power, that our
Lord alluded.
And "if these things be done IN the green
tree, what shall Be done an the drys What
hope can these, the children of guilt expect,
when in the dispensstions of God the su-
premely blessed One must be thus bowed
down under shameful cross
Let Us learn how vain is the hope of es-
cape from the deserved wrath of God, except
in the way of his own appointment 1t is
only in that justice which required the hu-
initiation, suferings and death of the Son of
God, that we can learn the greatness of that
mercy which psrdOns sinners for the sake of
Jesus Christ. SALEM.

But how shall we impress our readers with
the idea of his oratorical powers! Hisprinted
sermons manifest richness of thought, q
power of imagination, and a force of express
sion, which must at all times command ad'
miration. But we must 60 to his contempo-
raries to know what he really was. If it be
the characteristic of religious orator to
rouse his audience from "moral stupidity to
moral consciousness, to stir up within them
the dormant religious sentiment, to force
them, by some mysterious power peculiar to
himself, to contemplate themselves and their
lives in the presence of the ideal, and to hu'
initiate themselves before it--if it be the
mark of great orator that he knows how to
make himself gradually master of the soul of
his hearer, to make it think, and feel, and
live with him for the time, however much it
may be opposed to him when the spell is
broken-if it be, in short, the badge of the
orator to WELD power, to make the truth live
before his hearer and reign with him--then
Saurin is an orator, and only next to the
three great preachers of Catholicism.

Each in His Own Way.

All the great works are done by serving
God with what We have in hand. Moses
was keeping sheep in Midian. God sent him
to save Israel, but he shrank from the un
dertaking. We sympathize with Jethro's
herdsmen-alone, stranger, not owning a
lamb that he watched. He had nothing but
his shepherds rod, cut from the thicket, the
mere crab-stick with which he guided his
sheep. Any day he might throw it away
and cut better one. And God said, "What
is that in thy hand! With this rod, with this
stick thou shalt save Israel" And so it
proved.
What is that in thy hand, stranger? An
ox-goad, with which l urge lazy beasts. Use
it for God, and Shamgsr's ox.goad defeats
the Philissines. What is that 10 thy hand,
David? My sling, with which l keep the
wolves from my sheep. Yet with that sling
he slew Goliath, whom an army dare not
meet. What is that in thy hand, disciple ?
Nothing but five barley loaves and two little
fishes. Bring them to me, give them to God,
and the multitude is fed. What is that in
thy hand, poor widow? Only two mites
Give them to God, and behold the fame of
your riches fill the world. What hast thou,
weeping woman? An alabaster box of oint-
ment. Give it to God. Break it and pour
it upon thy Saviour's head, and its sweet per
fume is fragrance until now What hast
thou, Dorcas? My needle. Use it for God
and those coats and garments are multi.
plying and are clothing the naked still.
Y.u are a manufacturer, merchant, a
mechanic, man Of leisure, clerk, stu
dent, or sewing woman. God wants each
one of you to serve Him where you are
You have your business !? Use it for God.
Order it in godly manner. Do not allow
any wickedneSs in it. Give godly wages

Broken Things.

How prone we are to give broken things
to God J.! How the old Jews set US the ex-
ample. How they would persist in bringing
the manned, and the halt, and the blind, for
sacrifice, when God demanded the spotless
and the uublemished. In one of our secular
papers, not long since, We saw the statement
that the deacons of certain Church out
West usually spent large part of Monday
mending the broken scrip which was put into
the contribution box on Sunday. No doubt
the statement was exaggerated. But We
question if there was ever Church treasur-
er who did not have considerable of such
work to do. And sometimes the scrip afore-
said is not only broken, but not even worth
mending.
Giving broken things to God! What null
titudes of impenitent sinners are doing it or
proposing to do it, "Give me thine heart, +"
says God. Give it in youth. Give it in
manhood. Give your best days, your best
strength, your best services, your best powers
of mind and body, to God. But no, not now
is the response. Wait-wait till old age
comes-till sinful indulgenceS no longer ex-
hilsrate. Wait till death stares me in the
face. Then I'll give myself to God; then,
when am broken, and helpless, and useless.
On, for shame
There is one broken thing which God calls
for and never will refuse. 1t is broken
heart. Give him that, but let all your other
offerings be sound and wholesome.
