There are two ways of becoming citizens of a kingdom—one is, to be BORN in the kingdom, and the other to be NATURALIZED in the king dom. If a man was born in the United States, he be comes a citizen because of his MATE; but if he was born in a foreign land, he may become a citizen of the United States by NATURALIZATION. In the United States there is a certain way in which foreigners are made citizens, and this is the "form of naturalizationl which is established by law. The natural way to become a citizen is to be born here; but to naturalize a foreigner is to make him, as it were, a natural born citizen. It is the same thing as if he, who had been born in a foreign country, should be •BORN AGAIN in the United States. When a heathen man became a Jew, a citizen of the Jewish commonwealth, and was naturalized by their form of naturalization, they said that he s ' was born again. Instead of saying, This, man has been naturalized, they said, he has been rege nerated, or born again. Instead of speaking. of the man's naturalization, they would , speak of his regeneration, or new birth. The Jews thought that their kingdom was the kingdom of God; and that because they were na tural-born children of Abraham, and natural born citizens of the Jewish commonwealth, they were also natural-born citizens of the kingdom of God. They thought other people would have to be born again, or naturalized, or regenerated, before they could be citizens of Messiah's king dom, but that the Jews did not need any natu ralization or regeneration to become citizens of it. Now, in St. John's gospel, chap. iii., we read of a conversation, between Jesus and Nicodemus about the kingdom of God and the citizens of it. Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Unless a man be BoRN AGAIN he cannot see the kingdom of God." Any man, every man, whether Jew or heathen, must be torn again, or regenerated, or naturalized, in order to become a citizen of the Messiah's king dom. No man is a natural-born citizen of that kingdom. All men are born out of the kingdom of God, and must be reborn, or born again, if they would be citizens of it. Then said Jesus, 44 Except a man be BORN of WATER and of the SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." John iii. 6. When a heathen man became a Jew, and.was, as they said, born again, the outward form of naturalization, or regeneration, was circumcision, together with certain other ceremonies, by which ho formally renounced heathenism and adopted Judaism; and if he became really a Jew at heart, his mind was changed also, and he believed in the religion of Moses instead of his former hea then religion. Thus be was BORN AGAIN by dr eumeisime, and lw a change of mind about the religion of the Jews; outwardly and inwardly changed. So Jesus told Nicodemus it,must be with oitl sena of his kingdom. They must be born again of water and of the Spirit; they must be born again by baptism and the Spirit; they must be outwardly changed, and inwardly changed; they must be naturalized by the outward form of natu ralization, and by an inward change of mind; they must be regenerated outwardly by the bap tism with water, which was the prescribed form of admitting to citizenship, and- inwardly by the Spirit of God. Then Jesus explained how the Spirit regene rates the mind. There was no difficulty about the outward regeneration by water. Jesus said "The SMUT breathes where' it chooses, and you hear its VOIcE, but cannot ,tell whence it comes and whither it goes; IN TUIB WAY is, every one (bm) that is born of the Spirit." John iii. 8. I know that the way in whieh this text is trans lated in our version makes it not on. explanation of regeneration, and that it is ,nsually,,taken menu that regeneration is very mysterions,•and only to be known by its effects. The mistake srisca from a false translation, especially Of 'the word "Spirit," which, in the same paragraph, is four times rendered "Spirit," and once, without any reason, rendered "wind." The Greek word is PNEUMA I which is used in the .New Testament three hundred and eighty-four times,, and yet is no where else rendered '$ oilght not, to be so rendered bere. In every other place, except One, it is rendered " and= plainly ought to b e Spirit') here, as I halts written it. As usually read, it explains Aothing; as I have Written it, it is au explanation of raget?Ration by the Spirit. "The 'Spirit breathes." The Spirit '4cf , and regenerat es the soul. The Spirit - of tl l4b, ePi 'peaks to the human mind, It (190'11ot:44c l ittleed, with Tool organs—mcutb ) lips) 1 and 1 "glie; but it no less really speaks 'to us. "The Spirit breathes where it chooses." It 'Peaks to one now ) to another then. God Irnows the beet moments in which, Prat to the soul. Gcs i not bound by our nOtions or ;plans. speaks when and where he chooses; in the day time, or at night; in the church, Mitt:home; to this man or that, as he Chooses. "And you hear its voice." It is a stills small voice; not in articulate sounds, as we speak to each other, but : as• spirits communicate, perhaps, when disembodied, as the angels talk together, and yet you hear it. No human being, may be near you, or if near could not hear the voice of God speaking to you,Jand yet you hear:it. "You cannot tell whence it comes and whither it goes;" you do not know how a spirit, gets access to your mind, and yet you hear the voice of it. "So, thus, IN. THIS WAY, is , every one i i(born) that is born of the Spirit." If ,you have been born of the Spirit it is in this Way, for every oue that is born of the Spirit is born:in this'way. The Spirit of:God has :spoken to your inmost spirit, and your spirit has heard what he said. The thoughts may have seemed, to rise of their own accord, or be suggested by some circumstances in which y2u were placed, but it was , the Spirit epee ng; tut you eaia his worsts. Ter . :Miptt never makes himself proUtinenti •bate makes the truth prominent.: 4i Ile, Spirit is not thelSaviour; Christi is the Saviotti. s The Spirit is not :so anx ious thatoyou should knew he is speaking; as that you should: hear what• he says about Christ. The Spirit speaks not of himself, but he takes of the things of Christ, and shows them to us. The Spirit does not glorify himself, but .glorifies Christ. Christ is a Saviour;. the Holy 'Ghost is a helper. ' The Spirit leads us into all the truth about Christ. If the Spirit' regenerates or natu ralises us in the kingdom by speaking to ns so that ewe hear his voice, what does he say to us? by what truth are we'born again?' In the same conversation with Nicodemne, Jesus told him by what truth men are born again into his kingdom, when he said: 44 -eis _Moses lifted up the serpent, in: the wilder ness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth in him ?night .not perish., but have everlasting life." : The belief of the truth about Okla .turtt'Sa viour, is that which ,makes any man ,A "heart! a citizen of the kingdom. _fie is made in form a citizen by the water of baptism; be is made such at "heart by a belief of _the truth aboufChtlit; and he is brought to this belief in Christ by the Spirit speaking to 'him of the Saviour, until he hears the voice and:believes the word. The 'Spirit o :convinces the 'world of sin, of lighteonsness,-and of judgmentl" ancithen, when men see tffeir need of a'Saviour,• he points them to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world; he presses upon ;them , the truth about Christ, untii,,believing ; that truth, they are born again= =into the kingdom of 'God. "'Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born, 'of 'God:" Men are begotten or born' again, not' by poWer, but ."by the. truth," "heiug born again, not,of corruptible:seed, but by the word,of God." When, then, the , Spiritiatespoken to.any man's spirit, has spoken of Christ as the Saviour, and the Voleerhas 'been heard; and -the word received, and the-triith ibelieved,,,th s en, ia hiinark spirit born. again- by:the -Spirit.. of God.l, • - There is no - mysterious or magical iotain =all this. 1 1 ,he troy Gheitis the preacher; Christ is the text; spirit is, ,the audience. The mystery, se .fir as there is - eny,--is not In the work of regeneration,, but in the way in which the divine, unembodied; Spirit speaks to human spirit;' which, if yoi2think of it, is:lo 9 . thoie terions and wonderful, thart,:the way in which human spirits communicate.by audible sounds ior by- visible signs. ; ; How many persons have been confounded and hindered their conversion by this strange 'mis translation of John iii.. 81 They, heve, : when de siringto be Christians, been•poieted to these words: ";Except a Malrbe;born again, he cannotsee the kingdom of Ged;" and then: "The wind - bloir eth where it listeth, and thou- hearest the sound thereof, but mist not tell whence it cometh,and whither it gceth; so is every one. that .is born of the Spirit." I read once of at missionary who sent a, poor' inquiring heathenn - to these two tfixts, which could only becloud and darken his mind, instead of affording him that light which a Chris ,tian missionary ought to be able to. give. NOTE.--Bengel renders as 'live .done, but , 5 his American translators.haTdlys knoW'vehat to do with.his rendering. They say: "The interprets -Wm on.Bengirs view 'is difficult, and the: autho rity for the common Tendering overwhelming;" What makes Bengells rendering'difficult is, donbtless, a false view of regeneration in the first :place and, then, the idea. that "so : " In • the text -means "such;" whiles the adverb= :here rendered so," 'signifies g' in: this .i'ver.:y or 'manner, thus, under these circumstances Scott. Ana as for 'the." everwhelming anthority," who does not know that commentators follow= each other, so that a dozen. of-then:l may expresi* the independent opinion of only. one? ' DENOMINATIONAL UNITY. Denominational unity costs quite too much when, for its preservation, the purity and consistency of the Church are sacrificed. Agitations and seces sions, calamitous as they are,,are quite, tolerable' when compared with the loss of moral power that always.follows.whea concessions, are made to the , Spirit of the world. Mr. Wesley characterizes ~ what the world calls prudence" as "a mystery , Of iniqulty," and we are - liable, in considering questions' that pertain to the, position and respon- • sibility of the Church, to be influenced by this . worldly prudence rather then , by ,wisdom that is ; from abo7e. The highest utility of the Church-.of' 'Christ; or, of any branch of that Church, depends ' more uPon. its consistent ,piety, than upon the number,of her members, ; the extent of territory 'over which she. has ,jurisdiction, or, the external unity she is ogle to preserve. It is natual that Iva ..shoul4 be ambitious to have the denomination to which we belong rank ,•asi a first-clasa poweramong the churehes of Chris tendom, .And we readily ,incline to the notion that her power to do good will be proportioned.to her, position and respectability, ,in prepoptiou as we-yield to the influence of worldliprineiples we shall feel OW. a ,chureh, to pi Anftuentiai, :roust ~ 'have a - nil - minus, wealthy, and ,cultivated mem herehip.

It lias a word for governors, a'word for the citizen; for the parent, and the child; for men in poverty, and men in opulence • for the master, and the servant. - While, therefore, the glory of the Gospel flows iii a' deep, enrich ing flood over humanity, it Offers to every one of its millions all its fulness, all its bliss; just as the sun satisfies the summer flower, and the warbler of the grove, With the affluence of those beams which he'pOu'ri`6,Yer the planets. I have had an' interestAn ascertaining how ,many times words expreSsing different' classes .of persons are-fonncl in the Bible. "Child "and "children '! - 'are ,nated in about, five hundred texts, showing that children occupy not a little the thoughts of God. The worth "soldier," "soldiers," "'warriors," "men of war," "mighty met," and the like, all •sighifying the same', are contained .in the Scriptures not far from three hundred times, indicating that such persons, en ter largely into the agencies of which the Bible treats, and that in God's viewibey occupy an essential place among his purposes, and in his providentialgovernment. The.history of Israel in their early, life, was, one,pf,warfe,re, carried on against the enemies of God,, of law, and sa lutary government; as a method of retribution to rebels;` as' a discipline to save the chosen _people from idolatry. It is not. always easy-to perceive' the justice of God in these wars; but ;that they were .all just and sources of immense heiiefit to the world, I ha,ye not a doubt. We are not able to judge of Meastires, until we ge cupy. the stand-point of these who devise and employ - Ahem.

There 'was adequate reason 'for the -Military life of David: the conduct of Saul, the hostility of the Philistines, and the rebellion of Absalom demanded the judgment of the sword. I am informed that ; 'a, gentleman who was with' its recently, hid always , been so troubled about `the wera•Of the 'Old Testament that he could not yield his heartto God; but upon the break ing ,out of-our, war, he was so struck with its justice, that he ,was easilpled to admit the jus tice of -God in ordering the wars of the• Israel ites, and as 'a consequence, is, now, it is believed, true Christian.' 'A. yonng man *rote from his, camp in , Washington; th'at he net* -knew how ' to give his heart to Christ until lie bad givenit to his country. It is evident-from:the:conver sation had by John„the Baptist with the, sol diers who came to' him and , asked what. they should do, 2 that the' of a soldier was bonorable,-and that a maw could in that capa city exeuiplify,thel virtues of a Christian. This was the Baptist's advice: "Do violence to no man, neither accuse , any falsely, and ;be content with your wages." , Or, to give the last word its , more exact significance, and apply it to the circumstances under which 'Many soldiers are, perhaps unavoidably, placed, "be content with Jour allowanoe,' The herald of Jesus Christ would not have„given ,directions for the conduct -of a ealling 'of itself Sinful.

Nor did he spare it.- The, day after this utterance he fell at the battle of Preston Pans, beneath a Highland broadsword. Captain Hedley Vicars, whose bravery filled the allied 'amide's 'with admiration, and whose death shed a glory on the Crimean war, was an humble and .devoted Christian. Amidst all the labors and hardships of warftire,, he found time to visit hos pitals daily, to pray with the sick and dying; time to read the word of God, even though his work ceased not until midnight. He wrote thus to his sister:—" Be ,assured you will feel far happier in this World, even, by- making religion your chief pursuit and study, than by all the pleasures and gayeties which your young heart may now be long ing after. I tell you candidly and seriously, that -I would willingly part with every earthly pleasure for ,life, . for, one hour's communion . with.

This is the brave soldier, who, when 2000 Russians crept softly into the trenches by the darkness of night, and opened a fieree'fire on his little band of 200, roused them to meet the attack with a war shout like this,— "Now, 97th, up and charge!" Himself foremost in the conflict, says the narrator, he. led on his men to.vietery. A bayonet wound •in his breast only fired his courage the more, and again his _ voice rose high,`" Men of the 97th, follow me!. —as he leaped the parapet he bad So well defend ed, and charged the enemy down the ravine.

The rebellion of Absalom, which for a time hreatened to prevail, failed utterly, because lindness and confusion fell upon the counsels of conspirators. Many Christian hearts, trem bling at the prospect of protracted war, have prayed that similar blindness may fall upon the councils of Southern rebels. May we not be lieve that the.series of fatal blunders into which the traitor leaders have fallen, is a direct answer to such petitions? 'We enumerate a few of these blunders by way of illustration. The wholesale robbery of mints, and sub treasuries, and custom-houses, and arsenals, has brought on •them the odium of the' civilized world. A government which has its birth in deception, and fraud, and theft, can have no sympathy from, honorable minds in the nine teenth century. Several of the leading journals of Europe have stigmatized this policy in strong terms, and have said that communities which tolerate such outrages, must be regarded I/E. ".hordes of thieves and assassins." The subse quent course of the Confederites in driving out peaceful citizens with the utter loss of their pro perty, in seizing and appropriating vessels and steamers without remuneration and in repu- 711 - 3 , ing mercan tie •e. Due o • e • give new strength to the sentiment of the civi lized world, that the government at the South is wanting in common honesty. Such a policy for a Confederacy whose only hope is to obtain early recognition from the leading nations or Europe, is so suicidal, that we must believe it is an instance of judicial blindness, sent on them as on Absalom's counsellors, in answer to prayer. A second blunder, of no less magnitude and fatality, was committed in the choice of a Presi dent. Mississippi had acquired an unfortunate reputation in Europe for a want of honesty in the payment of debts. It had repudiated openly a State debt, which was largely in the hands or European capitalists. Mr. Davis was known as the most eloquent advocate of repudiation, through whose popularity and influence this measure had been adopted by the Legislature of the people. In the election of such a man to the presidency of the new Confederacy, capital ists will believe that a similar dishonesty will prevail in the new government, as soon as iu suits either their interest or convenience to pro- claim it. A Confederacy in absolute need of large credit to maintain the government even in a time of peace, has thus wilfully destroyed its credit in the monetary world, and cannot borror a dollar outside:of its own limits, on the eve o;' a war demanding the largest resources. A third blunder, of scarcely less importance, was committed by Mr. Stephens, the Vice-Pre sident of the new government. He enjoys national reputation for ability and statesman ship, and is the representative of the conserva - 'tive party, who have been forced against their will into the secession movement. Mr. Stephens, in an elaborate speech, has set forth the prin ciples and aims of the new Constitution. He frankly admits that the Southern founders of thc. old Constithtion, Washington, Jefferson, and Madison,' held opinions on the slavery question nearly identical with the sentiments of the North at the present. ime, and that the Consti tution which they.formed is opposed to the per petuation and spread of slavery. He confesseA that the present position of the North is the natnraltesult of the opinions of the Revolution - • r ary patriots , .of the South, and of the govern , - which they founded ; but claims that tin! great zrp 41. g. • day, makes the present movement necessary and qnevitable. _Now the public opinion of the world deritands that the leaders of any revolu tion should he able to prove that the govern ;meet they seek _to overthrow has been destruc tive •of inalienable rights, or been guilty of a long train of abuses and usurpations. But the second officer of the revolutionary government confesses that such abuses hate existed— that the South have not been oppressed or de nied their:natural rights, and that the aim of the. North is only to maintain a national policy in harmony with the Constitution and the sen timents of its Southern founders. In short, Mr. Stephens has been guilty of the fatal blunder of admitting that the secession movement is with .out cause to justify a revolution, and that it is, therefore, a wicked rebellion, prompted by am bitious men for the promotion of sectional in terests. The attack on Port Sumter and the Balti more Hot, are similar blunders. Previous to the bombardment, a conviction had been gain ing ground at the North, that it might be wise policy to attempt no coercion, but allow the seceding States to follow their insane course to ite natural results. *The merchants and ca pitalists' were willing even to evacuate the na tional forts Within the limits of the Confederacy, excepting those in the Gulf of Mexico, essential to the interests of our commerce. If the Southern Confederacy bad resolutely adhered to a defensive:policy, it is more than probable that it might 'have obtained in the end, recog nition from the 'national government. But the withholding of supplies from the little garrison at Sumter; the attack on them when short of provisions,.with an overwhelming force, and the refusal to notice a flag of truce, when the fort was enveloped in flames, have utterly destroyed ail sympathy with '-the seceding states among their former friends, Sand convinced the North that the only hope, of l permanent peace lies in crushing out the spirit Of rebellion by force. The last blunder to which we shall allude, is the Proclamation of President Davis, in favor of privateering. It heeded only this movement to cut-off-the new 'Confederacy from the whole civilized world, :and doom it to utter infamy. The Southern Confederacy, which had already incurred general odiumby its unscrupulous sys - tem of robbery from the National Government, and had elected to its 'highest office the cham pion of repudiation,, has deliberately chosen to commission freebooters to enrich : themselves and their poverty-stricken , government by preying on the Speils of peaceful commerce. It seems but a natural policy that a govern: menu which commenced existence-by robbery on -the lind, Shoruld.timintain its existence by piracy sea. - ;But that any government, hoping for an honorable rank among the nations, of the wo . rld, and for a :recognition in diplomatic Cirdles, should be guilty" of a series of Acts which ivillentat'eff Worn all fellowship and expose it to .universal -loathing; phenotnenon not easily explained. We find the most natural so lution in, wbeliel s t4t, in answer to prayer, the leaders .or thc rebellion.have been given over, like Absalom; to judidial, blindness, that they nay be ialiatned and'eonfounded together.
