The Nineteenth, Anniversary of the Gusts- Tl4,Adolphus Sciety, the great Voluntary H,ome, Missionary , Society took.place by in vitation of the authorities at the ancient. and intereSpii city of Nuremberg, August 26th.

The receipts of the Society of Gustavus Adolphus amounted last year to 165,000 thalers, (nearly £25,000) w hich served for the'relief of 578 churches or commtinities. This is the - highest figure that his ever laden reached. That of ;the preceding year had been •of .157;628 thalers, Which had been di vided: between 559 churches. In 1853 the receipts of the Society were only .E. 3000,• by which, there had been aided 234 communities. From this a judgment may be formed , of the reniarkable progress of the Society. The most important subsidies voted at , reinberg, duriug the last . week of -the month of 'August were: that of 5050 thalers, al lowed to the Protestants 'of Salzbui,g, who were formerly prosecuted-and oppressed, and whose long and: cruel sufferings- are known by all the world; that of 5000 dollars grant ed to the commune of Grappe, in the pro vince,of Prussia • and that - of 4917 thalers to" the Church oelironach in Bavaria. It has just been , voted, that the city of La beck should,. as it had offered to do, enter tain the friends of the Society of Gustavus Adolphus in '1863, when an Austrian Roder, whose name we shaie forgotten, rose in the tribune, and anneunced,, to the great aStou. ishment, and not less to the joy of the whale that he hid just received from the capital of the Austrian empire a telegraphic despatch, conveying the important intelli gence that thellome Minister Von &lne -3/141„&-', Mk i ' 49 S* 3 l - t e : ' a 401 1 0140 e o the Society to convo m .e, two .years' time, its twenty-first asseiphly,atVientts,.

A little while ago, under the control of the Concordat which had been concluded with, Rame;it waslampering and , distressing, not to say;afflicting,the Pro testants in its dependent states.

THE world, the, wide *cad, is 'apostate. On this broad fact, wide as the world, and • prolonged as' its history; the 'Christian *ay Of salvation is based. Here is 'an apostate province of God's empire. Rebellion has come upon the earth. You must not embar rass yourselve§ by inquiringhow this came updn us, or:Why this is so. It is• the fact with which we are concerned, not the mode. The grand question is not Why. this is so, or why this was permitted, or how we can reconcile it-with the" goodness of God, but how shall we escape When a man is struggling in a current of mighty waters, it does nothing to fa,cilitate his escape to, be able to determine Arlo*. he eame ;there ; nor, would, it help him if he, could• satisfy his own mind on the ques tion why God ever riaade streams so'that men could fall into them, and dui not make every `bank Of granite or iron so that it would not give` 'way. The grand question is, how shill we es 'cape ? You will not escape if You remain in your present 'condition. Indifference is not safety ; and unconcern is not' salvation. it is northe way to be saved to 'give one's self no concern about it, or to suffer things to pass on' as they are. If you remain as.you are with a sinful and depraved heart—vitti no love ,for God---what can befall you,lit ruin . It will not save you to murmur and, com p4in. at your lot, or' to find fault with the - Mine arrangements,or even reverently and devoutly to ' call these things Inystertous. 'ScepticistFisaves no one from danger; mur muring saves no one ; a sneer saves no one; contempt saves no one ; nor 'does it save any pee to, call. Fa truth a mystery:, _None of these things make you, a better man. It, not .save, you to ,cultivate the graces of manner, or the accomplishments of life : ; to become ..more learned; in the' sciences and a better critic of;thetTproductions of art; to make yourself - more moral before men; to `break off pint' external Sins, or to put on the " form of godliness without its power." You may cultivate a - bramble,' but it, will not be a rose.; :a rose but it not be a bird of para dise ; a bird, of paradise, but it will not be a gazelle; a gazelle, but it , will not fie a beau; tiful Woman. You may Pilish brass, but it is not gold ; and may set in gold..piede of quartz, but it is not a diamond:-Llai?djuSt certain is it, that none of the graces' otrititiill Character ivhich you can cultivate will ever become true religion. The evil lies deeper thin this, 'and must be healed in anothel way.'
