fitrican peollnitrian GENESEE EVANGELIST. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1862. ZORN W. ICREIRS, WE conclude' the disPatehing of bills to sub scribers in, arrears in this number. Some responses have been received but we are by no means overrun with them. 03PjES FOR: THE soiataßg? A uuntbet of Pastors in the City brie e'xpresied their cordial approval of sour plan for supplying the Soldiers of our Synod with the AMERICAN. PRESBYTERIAN, and will take immediate •zneas urea for carrying it into effect: • For $l, we will supply the paper for 'six months to any address in the grimy or navy and prepay the postage. , • , NOW TO SEEP UP PIETt. ON the theory of an essential anti:go:Main be. tweet: the world and grace, between matter and spirit, there is.nothing for the Chit to do, but to withdraw -as 'much as possibl from the world. The legitimate result of this Nit:tit-japer:l,' kery. It is not scriptural, nor is it practicable. Jesus 'himself was a earpenter-.--and, not only a carpenter's son; his. apostles were and contin ued to be fishermen; Paul was a tent-maker, and he says of private Christians :-Let-everyman abide in the MOM calling wherein. he- is called. The Christian cannot withdraw from the world if he would. Unavoidable, life-long necessity to' labor in4worldly. -relations is laid upon the great majority of Men. They have plain duties to perform in their worldly relations to which every consideration of piety requires them to be faithful. Hence 'piety, if maintained at all, must be in the :very midst of worldly cares and labors. - So most .Christiana doubtless have :con cluded.- Only they err again by- supposing that piety is to be kept up in Spite ,titeee cares and labors. • The min& is to be 'withdrawn from, and lifted above them as much as possible, and a con stant warfare is to by maintained' against their, secularizing tendencies. But here-again we find employments which demand such a concentra tion of the mind in calculatiens,,correspondence, watchfulness etc,, as forbids a withdrawal to other topics the whole day long., Are these to be re garded as intrinsically hostile topiety,,and to be avoided -by air trig Christians ? Tien Would the higherforins:of business and mechanical pur suits, the professions, and philosophical investi gations be abandoned to the ungodly. By no means. The mistake lies in regarding any hon est calling as, in itself, hostile to the cultivation of true piety. Rather are they all so many channels through which to exercise Christian principles, and to bring to bear the power -of Clirititian example and the leaven of the. Gospel thionghthe world. An honest 'calling, diligently, faithfully, and righteoisly pursued, is a means of, grace. Therefore one grand way to heepup piety ra, in the fear of God, and with a sincere view to his glory, to pursue such a call.; ing from day today; we, dieobey the manifest appointment of Providence sum moning us to labor in such' and such a branch of employment, we could not expect his blessing. Our piety would decline and God would frown upon us if we ran away, from our , duty. Our seasons of devotion we can keep, if we give as much tune to them as the just demands of our fetidly or our business will allow. God will ac cept them ts -readily as if we spent half of our time at them; his providence has already declar ed in the great majority, of cases, that he does not require us to do so. He has given Jus , 4 otte day in the week s all of which he requites to' be devoted to his service and sanctions our six days of labor in the very commandment that re quires the hallowing of the.seventh. Therefore, with our seasons .of daily devotion carefully ob served, and our Sabbath days hallowed, we may go fearlesoly intontir secular duties, expecting to find them means of culture, and discipline, di vinely and 'wisely ordered for the unfolding and strengthening of our Christian life. These principles will hold as to the grave events in which we are now involved. The Christian cannot avoid his share of the stern re sponsibilities and high duties. which have fallen upon his countrymen. It is his, duty, as much AS that of any other citizen, to •enlist, or failing that, by the whole power of his means, example, prayers and conversation to sustain the • govern went. And no class of men in the community have been more ready to do their part, Bet some have feared that it has been, or will prove to be, at the expense of their piety, and loudly predict the sad consequences of the war • ezeite went that has crept into the church. It may prove so: but we can never believe that isolation from this excitement, or avoidance of these dn. ties' bY Christians would in the slightest degree premote their piety or make them better Chris tians, but the revertse. In war eieitoment, as in all. times, the Christian should,observe his sea sons-of dinetion, live near his gavior by faith and Prayer, and observe, the Sabbath ; this done, he will find .a participation in the high work of saving 'his- Country by deeds of courage and self sacrifice, a means Of grace far superior to the or dinarylumdrum employments;of daily life.' He will find objects of prayer' and motives to prayer,' multiplying; be will :recognize the hand of God sn : d the great purpose of God shapingthe course of events ;he will feel, all his powers expanding and new powers revealing themselves and warm `er•ltud fuller tides of feeling flowing forth, and his whole nature exalted into• a new• sphere of duty and activity. It is a sad fault not to see that God is assign ing;a,high part to every Ohlistian in these times —not insanely to, throw himself athwart the cur rent, and, of ail periods in the world's history, to be encouraging mystic and monkish styles of piety now;—but to make his praYers catid his personal influence felt at this crit is > star of human affairs. Only thus, in our IridgiMtit hai he any warrant to believe that his 'piety maintained and promoted. is THE EVANGELICAL'REPOSITORY and U. P.

The City Hall was literally crowded in every, corner in the evening, to listen to a pnwerfel4nd effective sermon by Dr. Henry Smith ; of:Buffalo. Prayer was offered by Dr. Asa , Smith: of 'New.: York, and the, hymn commencing, if .1 " I love Thy kingdom Lord," sung by nearly the whole congregation. Dr. Smith announced as his text, ~john 17 20,21. •The kingdom of God on earth„iisinuity, its triumph, are .the d thoughts here brought to view. The kingdom of Christ an the kingdom Of the Galileans were deacribed and compared. On the day:of the crucifixion the mine Roman royalty sank, the hypocritical hierarchy of the Latin church slunk away. John of Leyden was compared with the Messiah. His treatment frora , royalty was pearly the same asthat of Christ. Their peisecutors were scattered to, the winds, and`they both died for lofty reasons. Where is the difference between; the two ? ~John.of Ley dep's kingdom perished—the. Messiah'a hved, still lives and shall exist forever, filling the souls of men With light mid strength. This is the ex temallifference. ' The internal difference eon= sista in the love Of self of the one; find the hive of GOd in the other: , Artother pOiiti; of differ-' once was , te cpmpel fear of eternal power on the part of the, one, and to compel by ..the unseen , influence of love on, the other.- Loye and faith are the one airoof Christ's • kilgdpm—his ever groiving spiritual realm. The kilgdOm of men can be otherthrown, but that of Heatren is so as similated as to defy overthrow. 4.0441?., • The true missionary, spirit in the Aura' is the measure of her Christicmprincipk, is the'thought suggested ,by the teat. Illustrations were drawn. from the attempts Of the time of Christ to over throw Judaism. In Iconium, Antioch and eve- • rywhere, Jewish exclusiveness combatted the Messiah. , The 19th century: does,not witness the forgetting the enmity of foreigners. The last year has witnessed the slaying of a missionary brother from Turkey, on apostolic ground. By cherishing your friend you. shall destroy your enemies, is thelesson of histery. But is it the lesson of Christianity? " Love r :you enemies," • is the word of divine love, and love is theorgan , izing principle of Chriiit"s kingdom. Love to. Christ, manifested by his followers, is the unit of harmony. Love to Christ,. as min, the repre sentative of a race, redeemed.' by: His blood. This is 'Christianity. It may inVolve many max ims and precepts, but Jove to. God manifested to' , universalraen is the essential thing. How is it to be manifested? Chiefly and first,hy the missionary * spirit. Take this away and Christianity cannot 6)5- Ist. This is the test of the piety of church Christianity puts:itself in contrastwith love offam ily. 'lt reclaimifies the race—puts itself in contrast with the love , of kindred. :Family affection is and must:be strong. If we return to 'the old:home where all is strange, what can there be here`to tarnish food for the:heart.? Rather say whale there that 'does not 'thrill with the range of dream-land 'youth I Family is God'S institution; the pride of it• is one "of, the Strongest principles of our nature., What "man who, does not like to. trace descent ; from the great and the. noble. " People will not look forward to posterity who never look back to ancestry!' Such is the fam ily, which Christianity sanctions; but it is not Christianity. , "A man's foes sheltie they of' his: own household!' - Christianity:puts:itself in con treat' with the love of country. ' What is a court . try? It has armorial signs and signets and cre ates the love of loyalty.' Patriotism and pride of country were described in most eloquent' lan guage. Loyalty is not permanent,—our own country was instanced. Treason is amongst us . like•a volcano belching, forth death. and desola tion. Does Christianity uphold it ? The fiery voices are- answering to-day. But love of coun try is not :Christianity.' •It may breathe its' life into it,*butedoes not make it permanent. The nation 'perishes which does not serve God. Pare. Christianity is in words, " go . ye into''all the world and ,preach the Nagel." Anarchy will reignin a free state where, Christian love is not the uniting tie. Christianity is the real, best - medicative of"the world. All-diffusive and all bestowing, are its health-giving blessings. lie who sympathizes with the missionary spirit is thutrue Christian. The relation of this princi ple to Christian liberality was dwelt upon. The love of money is said to be the ruling spirit of our age. It is so—stronger than any ,principle of morality or economy. Money Could buy any religion for the world=it is its power -- to=day. Yet love is not ohliterated. It exists in the fam ily everywhere. That man does not live , "Whom none can love, whom none tan thank Creation's blot, , creation's blank." • National liberality is grand, but Christian liberality And love surpasses all other love and liberality; The greatest, truest liberality :is 'to give one's self to the cause of missions. In Ws dark hour of our country's trouble, we must look to God and trust in bitn,alone.. The diseoutse waa of about two hours length and ,was listened to with'elose 'attention. • amtritan Nrcoligterian and 6entort (ttitugeliot.

"REPORT,'.ON, ' - A ryalyE Anywrxr Only one hundred and seventy churches. con—, nected ) with the Board, have native paStors. , As. yet there are none in the African,. Syrian or Ohina missions: The Ceylon, ' . l4laliratta, and Sandwich Islands, have each:-four-z The Madir-' rninissions has six,, and there 'areeleVen in the three missions to the Ainieniana of Turkey r lt seems surely`, as. - though there 'should be More after the lapse of so many years. It is evident that ibis does not restilt from the, want et native chnrches, -or of pious educated; men- in the,' employ of the, missions, since there. are 400 , of these NOris it owing to any lack of• attention on the park of the Board orits mission aries. The obstacles havebeen unavoidable and . may be enumerated as follows : first, in our expe rience; second, in the want of frecedents to and habitsth guide us , ideas the aries necessarily took with them from, their na tive land; : fourth,,in-the really _unavoidable fact that we began educating ,our native ministry ; prior to ; any proper .developernent. of native, churches, and before it was.known exactly, what Was wanted ; fifth, `certain unatttidable errors; in our higher education whereby converts are teMpted'hyhigher wages to enter`businessfields; sixth, in the absence of a settled imipese among the`inissienaries to assign ,the native chureheli to the care of a native Ministry, and"7th, the native converts have not been edneated for lit till re eently, and have not had their thoughts in that direction. The\report went on to explain. :the obstacles and assign remedies- whereby. the; na tiNe pastorale may be supplied,, closing, with an *ear to theßoard, 'showing the vast importance- and necessity of 'raising up such an auxiliary to the`great tiork. BRPENDITDRES OF THE BOARD. The expenses of the board should be divcded exactly as possihle into two great classes—thoie which are incidental to the collection of', the in income and to themecessary correspondence, and communication with: the' public in . order to awa ken ' and sustain: the Missionary - Spirit in the chtirehes; and; Secondly,' 'those which are in. curred in the main werk of selecting and sending forth' - the missionaries and of austaining and guiding the Missions. Beginning at the mission ary house in Boston., 'here is the 'treasury, here are,the: officers of, correspondence, dierwe r the weekly , seesions the prudential , , ceininittee, herethepublications are prepared ,for , the- press i here is 3 the library, here' the museum', ;here the storagelhouse of all articles sent to ,the missimis t How muchof all these expenditures it; necessary to the hoMe 'work 7 First, t he treasury fourth of the treasurer's salary, and nearly one. halt of the paymentsto clerks in his office, assigned to the home ,work..

Hence the, propri ety in assigning so large if portion of the salaries in this department to the home work Second, edrre,spoatfence:—One eighth of the cast of,this department 3e : chargeable to the foreign work, and' the reniainder,to the • home!werk.

Seventh manual meet , ingi .almiversaries:—The annual meeting is considered absolutely necessav and the expenses; of it are chargeable' to the 'home rather than to the foreign work: Two anniversary meeting's, one in New York and one in Boston, are held each year. The sum total of the expenditures of the home department for the year is nearly 83,500 less than list year. It is thought this reduction may, be greater next year. Less than six per cent of the income is expended in the home work, that is of raising funds and sustaining the miwionary in terest throughout the country, so that 94,per cent remains for the direct work of .missions. Among thi, general expenses which are classed under the name of " costs of administration," is the reoMpensation .of the thistsurer. No man ought to occupy that poat fie litoatd 'whose: services would not b rated at $5OOO a year in the common business world: In'*o 6iartment ,of corespondence,,an immense amount of tinte r arid labor is spent for which the.Saaries received, are but An considerable pay.
