WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION* This phrase has reference, in the first place, and almost exclusively, to the relatiohs man and 'man, *’ It describes the melancholy' and monstrbtis’ cohdiitbh of thb soul’that'is’ded^'to' the first 1 and prdha^tio^s;'O f !AatiiJe/' that is insensible tb'the sweet' ififtuCfices if kin dred and (ft* fimily, that is even'lesi h'uttladi' than the brute,' less natural thad thfe'itony’ rock'! Depths of apostad]r and of heathen brutality are described by the wbids, w tion.” The man who does tftiiPldVb wife or mother, father or child, is looked 1 : npod" with horror. The sou-in-kw thdt could lift murder ous hands against an aged mothOt'-indaw, is rei' garded as guilty of uncotatrion climd. It is 1 against nature; natural'prOmptingS'and inetitictS' —feelings springing from the' mostscidred ties, are all against snohbhings. All this is beyond question. Yet may we not go a step, farther ? May we not say.of the absenpe of love to God, and love to Christ, that it eq.ua.liy j ppoyes the want of natq|al affection ? If itJs a,.dictate of nature to loyeiHir kindred,- is.it ppt equally so to love God, who made us kin,'who set us in fami lies, who endowed us vfith| to love, and who is himself parent qf oqr parents, and, in the most intimate sense, Father Of us ail? Apdp if kindness can strengthen the. claims and cepent the ties of kindred, and make tbs want of affeo-* tion still more unnatural, then what an affront # ; ~a -. • t. . - i--,i, * i -y. :r’z j. Jcj to nature is man’s want of affection to the infi-. nitoly benevolent God! And what a spectacle is man, what a spectacle is a race of men, that will givetheir hearts to everything but God 1. It is, however, when we think of the love of, God in Christ, that want qf affection seems, most monstrously unnatural.. if hen to all. tWties of, creation and benefits of Providence is aided the • - • Lit ...iyv i ) . ]£■ -i transcendent gift of Redemption, how can words' be found to describe the marvel of the hardness an! coldness of thFile«W tftatfeels ntf grateful thrill? When the forcq to the force of nature, it would seem tjiat the most stub born heart must yield. If it can be paid t)f any affection that it is natural, it must before all be ta’d of love to Christ. ,If the want of any af fection can be called unnatural, it must be the want of love to Christ. It betfays, an unfathoma ble perversity of the affections; it is the darkest psychological phenomenon in pur nature; it is the moßt damning proof of the sinfulness of. thq heart that it will not, cannot love JeBUS. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, says Paul, let him be Anathema M.aranatha! It is utterly inexcusab'e. It is too monstrous a misuse,of his faculties to be treated lightly. Persisted in it draws down the heaviest curses, for it proceeds from a cursed and warped condition of the af fections, which the sinner makes no effort to amend. And it is just here thj*t the sinner’s conscience should be reached by the preacher. Here will be found the popt between the armor-plates where the arrow may penetrate. Press home upon your hearer the great sin and enormity of failing to love Him who has died for him. Storm the citadel of his heart by crowding upon him the overwhelming claims of Jesus upon .his love. Accuse him of boundless ingratitude, summon the best -powers of bis nature, and the most primary exercises of his reason to testify to his lamentable want of affection, whore,"Of all other places in the world, it should be found most ar dent, moat characteristiftf.mipst absorbing. 7 py 3 Ta ilkiJi J'/ Tpßpnr IS EUROPE. Although the Creten insurrection is again de clared tq'be quite Suppressed, and wi' h ; much ap parent truth, it seems, in its dying stages,,abput to rekindle the whple, questiqu. ; of , the Turkish occupation of Europe, in its continental propor tions. Representatives ,of all the Great Powers of Europe are summoned to a council jvhieh is to avert the calamity of war, by a re-adjustment of the relations of Turkey to Greece, disturbed by the many acts of sympathy of the latter with the insurgent Cretans,. . Will thutoounoil go ; to; the bottom of the’ matter, and opßsidor the radj-. oal question of the continuance of, Saracen pow er upon European .and, Christian ppil,,or will they simply try to, prolong, truce between antagonistic riocs by some policy of compromise ? The. latter is most probable. .1 aj Certainly, it is a serious ques tion, What right would mt, or a single people have td to the surrender of her magnificent in Etorppc, and her withdrawal from the of jnod ern and Christian civilization : hpr gbandonmept' of the Queen City of . the Morn and the keys of the Euxine and the Med iterranean Sea, and her retirement to the savage fecesses of Taurus and of Lebanon, to the des ert, haunts of the sons of Esau and Ishmael ? a famous saying, that the ' Tprks are only, I encamped in Europe'. It is not much of a gypsy )or a nomad settlement surely, which has lasied niow more than .four centuries; longer twice over the occupation of Ireland by England ; tlotjger tbap the occupation of America by the ijaces qf Europe. It was thirty-nine years aftqr rthe capture of Constantinople by the, Turks, .that America was discovered by Columbus. If there . sire any such things as rights of conquest, ansf if these can be confirmed,bv titril, they unqonDted edly belong to .the Turkish Empire in Europe., And while, the, so-called, Christian nations re-, spect each others’ far less ancient claims, they will not aqtjtpw.ards .Turkey on the principle or ■ the want of principle, that no faith is, to be kept with unbelievers, or‘ that non-Christian nations, have no rights which Christian nations are bound to respect! , ~ It is, indeed, a strong point against the Turks that they have never fused with the people Whom they subjugated in Greece. After a rule of four centuries, they remain an entirely distinct peo ple, among, their subjects; five milliqns ,qf Mo hammedans among eleven millions ,of . Greek, Christians, with .undying antipathies of race' and religion; the false and; sepn-jieathen faitli of the conquerors, growing effete, while the Chris tian faitt of the subjects is reviviqg anil proving, even under tbje depressing effects of superstition andjformality, its perennial vigor. Add to this eyprykind of misrule, extortion, and “ppressibri ( that can arise lender a,despotic government, ad ministered with oriental selfishness and disregard of the welfare of the people, and with hopeless depths of corruption on the part of every class of. officials; a government whose , occasional ef forts at.improvement are made void by the ex-, treme degradation and lanaticisih of the great .mass of the Turksa government from which already a whole nation, been detached, and, haa,qxtoTted sqaieejfy moM.'ifi'art a form of submission from some of its greatest European dependencies during the past thirty years, ,and which owes its existence, in large measure, to the .mutual jealousy of j,be different classes of its impatient subjects and of the Great Powers of Europe. ........ Aq uprising and of. tlje Grpeks of European Turkey .against |uch would be perfectly justifiable, and woqld com mand the sympathies of the entire world.. And if Greece ctose to take the risks, of aiding the reyplutiqn', as she has ddne in.Cretej it seems To us that the Great Powers might, find it convenient to remember their doctrine of, non - intervention, and not rush in to tie the hands of Greece. Rather should they use th t e opportuni ty to press still further upon Turkey the claims of modern ideas, to urge tHe policy of toleration and the work of,governmental reform in earn, est. France and England especially should as sure Turkey,that they have spent their last mil lion of treasure, and last drop of .blood to save,a corrupt, cruel Saracen despotism from the paw of the Northern Rear, or from overthrow and distnyipberment by internal. dissensions, NEW YORK EXCISE LAW. Although so much has beenjiniteighed.against this Law, its,admirable features and results are so many and of such a broadly practical character, that opposition appears to he dying outj and there! is a.fair chance that it will bp allowed to stand.. The. third annual report of the Board of Excise, covering the year from Decemhpr 1867, has just: appeared, and will go far to confirm and spread; the favourable opinions en|ert»iued .of yr°r|r-; ing, and to diffuse p wholesome seiitimehjt, both jpon the weekly and Sunday liquor toaffio. , The Board refers to the early hostility which it excited, and says : “ During the past yeir,there has been exhibited much less evidence of, this! feeling; nearly all ligitatipn has ceased,.and a general disposition .to observe the law and to pro mote its proper execution, has taken their piace.” Yhe only suit instituted against the Board in New York in, the year, was by the. then Mayor,: Hoffman, in order to deprive, it of the power of granting licenses, which he .qontonded belonged solely'to. the Mayor. This suit is still pending, but no proceedings have been, t'akenfqr some months, and “as the Loard annually' pays more money into the city treasury then had been, received during any. twenty years prioy passage of the* present Excise Law, and th t is law: has been declared constitutional by the, .Cpujt of Appeals, it is hardly anticippteq that thip litigs-' tion can seriously prejudice, the ( a4iijinist)r»^ipn jf o,f the law."
