    MEETING TOGETHER OP THE RICH
AND THE POOR.—IV-
ey REV. E. E. ADAMS
Let the rich remember also that their
accountability is in proportion to their
means,
If “it is accented according to that a
man hath,” so that the poor can meet all
the claims of God upon them, it is demanded
according to that a man hath, in whatever
form the talent exists. Beware then, lest
when yon are called to give an account of
your stewardship, you be found to have
kept for your pleasures and your pride that
which belongs to God.
Remember that you have a means op
GRACE which the poor have not. Giving
with a right spirit is acceptable to God.
“ Bring all the tithes into the store-house.”
“Give, and it shall be given unto you.”
Giving increases the spirit of benevolence,
which is the essential part and life of Chris
tianity. Giving is Christ-like. If you have
abundance, you are highly privileged.
Multitudes covet the privilege. You ought
to grow in grace by that one instrumen
tality, as really as by prayer and worship.
It is worship ; it acknowledges the divine
bounty; it is an expression of praise to the
great giver—the interest paid back to him
on the princple which he has put into your
hand, “ who, though he was rich , yet for
your sakes became poor; that ye, through
his poverty, might be rich.”
Let the rich especially strive against co
vetousness.
It is often the fact that men become sel
fish as their wealth increases. Their artifi
cial wants multiply; they fix their purposes
on a certain standard] they are pressed to
it by the love of position and social influ
ence] by pride of talent for accumulation,
or by the pure love of enterprise, and clo
sing their hearts against appeals, violently
forcing down their already enfebled benev
olence, rnd forgetting the claims of God,
they become old in selfishness, die with
their treasures in their arms, and “ Mam
mon” writtemall over their hearts.
Said a friend the other day—“ I care not
how much I give, for I must leave all soon.”
That is the true, noble Christian spirit. It
will do for the death-bed.
A dying millionaire called for his money,
and pressed it to his heart; then putting it
from him, exclaimed: “ No! it won’t do !
it won’t do!” It did not quicken the lan
guid current of life! It did not shed light
on the path to eternity! It gave no attrac
tions to the grave! It rendered not easier
the pang of separation! It offered no price
for the assurance of heaven ! No, it will
MOT DO !
Let the poor accept their condition. It is
either a penalty for their slothfulnoss, dis
sipation, and folly, or a providential disci
pline. God may see in you such a spirit
as that riches would be your ruin. They
would be like the gales which drive the
ship upon the breakers. You need to be
kept poor. Indeed, in poverty you may be
immensly richer than those who possess
millions. God may send the rich empty
away, while he pronounces “ the little that
a righteous man hath better than the rich
es of many wicked.”
There are those who can say: “blessed
be God that we are poor;” for to them the
Spirit whispers: “ Thou art rich.” Blessed
are the poor in spirit, for ftheirs is the
kingdom of heaven. God keeps all things
under his own hands. He will govern.
While, therefore, there is a law of success,
of cause and effect, in the agencies of.
men, a maq. may, nevertheless, put forth
the best instrumentality, and live a life of
labor, of economy, and of godliness, yet be
poor. “The race is not” always “to the
swift, nor the battle to the strong.” There
is stimulus to activity, success enough to
Tender man hopeful, but not such invariable
connection between means and ends as to
lead men to forget that God reigns, or to
feel that this world is all.
Let not the poor envy the rich. There
is no occasion for it. With wealth and
station come apprehension and care. The
emblem of Henry VIII. was a crown in a
bush of thorns. It signified the agonies of
royalty. Many a rich man is wretched
through fear of robbery or failure. “A
dreadful sound is in his ears.” In imagi
nation, he is begging for bread—crying, —
“ Where is it.” The poor who envy the
rich would be vastly happier but for that
folly. Much of their suspicion is un
founded. The rich do not despise them,
do not oppress them half as much as
they imagine. The evil they feelso deeply
is in their own hearts a mere fiction
often. While, therefore, we say to the
rich: ‘rob not the poor because he is
poor,--.neither oppress him, we would also
May to the poor: “Curse not the rich in
thy bed-chamber,” for the Lord is
Dfaker of both. He not only created you,
but He makes you rich or poor as He sees
best. You may be happier, stronger,
greater for penury. Socrates—with nothing
but his mind and heart—was greater than
Caesar with the world at his feet. Paul—
with his religion, his faith, and his chains,
Stood higher than Agrippa or his throne.
And what here the great and rich ever
done without the poor? Y/hose hands
built the pyramids ? Yv’ho composed the
armies of Alexander, and of Home? Y/ho '
gained our independence? Who have sus- j
tained commerce ? Who piled up the dome !
of St. Peter’s, and the towers of Milan and
Westminister? Who cut the tunnel under
the Thames ? Who constructs our bridges
and our railways? Whose hands now war
for us? Whose hearts bleed for us. Ah,
the warfare, the architecture, the commerce
and the arts of all time are monuments of
labor and suffering. They tell us what the
poor have done.
What is Gettysburg,—whose Cemetery
was recently consecrated by the presence of
greatness, by oratory and song, by prayers
and tears—but an eloquent vindication of
our devoted, loyal poor, who laid down
their lives for the wealth, for the happiness,
and for the immortality of their country ?
Let the poor remember the example of
poverty in Christ. There is no shame in
penury, but only in sin. If the Lord of
glory “ had not where to lay his head,”
shall a sinner complain ? Not one of us
was half as poor as Jesus.
GIFTS
BY REV. DANIEL MARCH.
We have passed once more the happy
season when many hearts are gladdened by
gifts. Countless homes have been bright
ened by a more cheering light than that of
the sun. Countless family circles have
echoed to the music of youthful voices that
needed no master’s art to teach them the
most touching expression of gladness and
gratitude. The festive season imparts the
glow of feeling to the grasp of the hand,
and the glance of the eye, and the tone of
the voice, as friends meet and invoke mu
tual blessings upon eachjother. The forth
gushing fountain of kindly emotion, fills up
the furrows that care has ploughed upon
the aching brow, washes out the record
that sorrow has written on the heart, breaks
down the barrier of reserve and formality,
and makes strangers friends, lifts the bur
den of years and infirmity from the aged
and the feeble, and constrains all classes
to confess that they have one heart, and a
common humanity.
And whatever excesses and perversions
may attend this custom of bestowing gifts
at a particular season, there is much to be
said in favor of its appropriate observance.
Anything that alleviates the dark hours of
human sorrow, lightens the burdens of busi
ness and of labor, or lends a healthful di
versity to the routine of life; anything that
multiplies the pleasant memories of the past,
or kindles up the beams of hope and glad
ness to cheer us in the future; anything
that guards the heart against the hardening
influence of the world, keeps our early sus
ceptibilities alive and our young affections
warm and glowing; anything which puts a
salutary restraint upon the hurry and anx
iety and weariness which the hard service
of the world imposes; anything that smooths
the wrinkled front of grim-visaged care and
makes childhood, manhood and old age
unite in the same single joys,—any usage
or anniversary which does all that, without
necessarily involving the excesses of
thoughtlessness or dissipation, may well
receive the sanction of our most sacred con
victions and the approbation of the most
serious and cultivated minds. Severely
pressed as we all are by the mechanical and
common-place routine of secular duties, we
cannot afford to lose any influence or custom
which strengthens social ties, cultivates
kindly feeling and adds grace, beauty and
attraction to domestic life.
And besides, the season has higher les
sons and more'sacred associations for our
instruction. While friends are gladdening
the hearts of friends with tokens of remem
brance, while parents are vieing with each
other in the bestowment of good gifts upon
their children, and trifling favors call forth
tile most fervid expressions of delight and
gratitude, it is appropriate for us to ask
how many thanks we owe to our heavenly
Father for his “ unspeakable gift.” He
looks upon us in our helpless and guilty
state with infinite tenderness and pity. He
does not eease to give because we have mis
improved what he has already bestowed.
He does not cease to love us because we
have wronged him. An afflicted mother
once said, “ I used to think that if my chil
dren became bad I should give them up.
But I find I cannot cease to love them.”
And God speaks like a human parent when
he says of his disobedient and wayward
chidren, “ how shall I give thee up !” He
gives and continues to give, beeause he
cannot cease to desire the welfare of his
own children.
The most trifling gift becomes precious
when it testifies the love and worth of the
giver. Every blessing which we receive
from our heavenly Father speaks to us of
infinite excellence and infinite love. But
his one “unspeakable gift” of eternal life,
bestowed upon the unworthy and the guilty,
illustrates every attribute of his divine na
ture and covers his throne with such a new
and surprising glory as that angels wonder
and adore while they gaze. To have re
ceived that gift from the infinite Benefac
tor, will be a mark of distinction, and a
reason for proclaiming his beneficence for
PHILADELPHIA, THUE
ever and ever. If the greatest sovereign
on earth should bestow the brightest jewel
in his crown upon his meanest subject* it
would fee nothing in comparison with the
honor which God confers upon the chiefest
of sinners, by offering him the gift of eter
nal life. The lowest and the highest are
equally exalted by that adoption which
makes them the children of God.
Some gifts cost an enormous price and
yet have very little intrinsic or personal
value. The coronation robe formerly worn
by the kings of the Hawaiian Islands, cost
an amount of labor that would have earned
a million of dollars, and yet the robe itself
was of less real value than a soldier’s blan
ket. Some gifts are among the most bril
liant and beautiful things of earth, and yet
would be adapted to the wants and circum
stances of very few persons. I visited the
Tower of London to see the jewels of the
British crown. They showed me a diamond
which they said was worth more than a
million of dollars. I asked myself what I
could do with that gem if the English' sov
ereign or government should bestow it en
me as a mark of favor and distinction. I
could not sell it, that would be dishonorable.
I could not wear it on my person in the
street, that would expose me to robbery M:
death every hour. If I kept it in my house
I should need a guard of soldiers to procect
it night and day. If I sent it to the vafijt
of a bank for safe keeping, I could nit
suitably acknowledge the generosity of the
donor by showing it to my friends and visi
tors. And if I concealed it from every eyfe
but my own, it would be as if I did not pos
sess it at all.
The one pearl of infinite price, which
God bestows as a upon every be
lieving soul, is equall|P|tcious to all souls,
at all times. It can be worn in all places,
on all occasions with safety and honor to
the possessor. It can be put to practical
and daily use, in any occupation, any posi
tion in society. No power on earth can take
that treasure from the weakest man alive'
against his will. It is precious enough to
make the poorest rich, and the most wretched
happy. It can heal the deepest sorrows o£
the heart, remove the dreadful sense of
guiltiness and danger, and cover the path
way of life with light and blessing. It can
enable the most unworthy to look up to
God with the love and confidence of a grate
ful child, and to feel themselves safe and
happy in any place, at any time, because
they feel that God is near. It can teach
the most afflicted to find new reasons for
gratitude and praise every day, every year
of life, and when they draw near to death
and the eternal world, still to move on with
hope and joy, as the little child when weary
comes home to rest in his father’s house and,
his mother’s bosom.
PROM OUR ROCHESTER CORRE
SPONDENT.
Dear Editor. —First wishing you a
happy New Year, your correspondent
would most sincerely congratulate you on
the enlargement of your “sphere” of in-,
fluence and usefulness. We think the
readers of the Presbyterian may also be
congratulated on receiving so much more
in the double sheet for their money. They
certainly must give you credit for attempt
ing to please and satisfy all, thus to en
large the paper, and not the price. Surely
this is something strange for these times!-
We are more accustomed just now to see
prices go up, even while papers grow less.
But it is about time somebody inaugurated
a better example, and we do not know of
any one who has a better right than your
self.
But somehow your modest correspondent
is a little appalled by the change, for fear
you may be expecting fuller and better
letters from this region. Indeed, you have
already most presumptuously promised as
much, in your glowing prospectus; and it
is plain to see that you mean to lay the re
sponsibility direetly-upon these little shoul
ders of ours. Well, if we must, we must;
and we have been tlying to gird ourselves
to the effort. But how fortunate that one
may get help now and then in a good
cause. Argus had a hundred eyes; and we
have just as many, if we can get fifty good
and reliable persons to help us see what us
going on in all this part of the country.
So as you have promised, we must try to
perforin; and so we will try to climb a lit
tle higher on our watch-tower, send our
scouts a little farther out, and gather and
sift the intelligence of the kingdom as well
as we can.
THE FESTIVITIES AGAIN.
But we need not go far for some matters
of special interest this week; although we
desire first to recur again to the festivities
of the last. We merely mentioned the
Christmas festivals then in progress. That
at the Briek church was very fine, consist
ing of singing by the school, prayer, and
addresses, beside a thousand neat little
baskets filled with cakes and candies. The
eating was not done in the chapel; but af
ter the public exercises were concluded,
each child was furnished with one of these
little baskets to carry away. It was neatly
done, ,
We understand that at the Third B l 'c s ;
byterian church of this city, a similarßfe
, JANUARY 7, 1 8 64.
thod was pursued, only, as our friends of
the Emerald Isle would say, each basket
consisted of a neat paper box, properly
tied, and well filled with nick-nacks. The
children had a good time in all this region
We doubt if there has been in many years
as much innocent merry-making as within
the present holidays. But we fear it has
not been just exactly so down in Dixie.
We don’t believe rebellion promotes joy
ousness of spirit.
A THING HANDSOMELY DONE.
To the credit of the Ist Presbyterian
church of this city, it may be mentioned
that they have been in no indecent haste
to call a successor to their late pastor, the
beloved and stall lamented Dr. Pease. They
have waited four months. The church
has been draped in black until the last Sab
bath. And what is more to their credit,
they have made a handsome provision for
the family of their deceased; having se
cured to the widow a thousand dollars a
year for three years to come. Other friends
have purchased for her a house; and so
She still dwells here- among those who
loved and admired her husband so much.
All these matters being thus admirably
■arranged, the church is prepared to act,
with self-respect and becoming dignity, in
the calling of another pastor. And now
also their good sense does not forsake
them. They have not been hearing forty
candidates in as many Sabbaths; they have
not heard one; but being satisfied, by com
mittee and otherwise, that Rev. Dr. Dixon,
pastor of the Third Presbyterian church
in Baltimore was precisely the mam they
wanted, they have extended to him a unani
mous call, offering a salary of §2,500; and
they have great hope that they shall be able
to obtain him. If we had his ear, we
should love to say to him, that he might
go a great way, and not find a church that
better knew how to treat their minister
than this does; or a more pleasant, impor
tant, and promising field of labor. If he
is the man they suppose him to be, we sin
cerely hope that he will listen favorably to
their call.
# OTHER CALLS.
Rev. E. P. Gardner, a graduate of Union
Theological Seminary, and licentiate of
the 3d Presbytery of New York, has been
for a year past, preaching as stated supply
to the Presbyterian church at Cherry Yal
ley. He has given good satisfaction, and
his labors have been blest quite recently in
.'Something of quickening, about a dozen, as
It is supposed, having passed from death
unto life. The church have also extended
a formal call to Mr. Gardner, which he has
accepted, and he is soon to be ordained and
installed.
We leam also that Rev. A. Erdman, a
graduate of Hamilton College, class of
1853, and recent chaplain of the 146th
Regiment, New York Yols., has received
and accepted a call to the Congregational
church in Clinton, and is to enter upon the
duties of the pastorate on the second Sab
bath of January. And Rev. D. D. MeColl,
.pastor of the Presbyterian church, (O. S.)
in Scottsville, has received a call to the
church of the same connection in Bath.
And as we are speaking of personalities
we are also pleased to state that the Pres
byterian church of Rome have added five
hundred dollars to the salary of their pas
tor, Rev. W. E. Knox, thereby com
plimenting themselves not less than they
do their able and excellent minister.
A REVIVAL CONTINUED.
We were permitted to speak once or
twice in the summer of a powerful revival
of religion as in progress in New Hartford,
under the faithful and earnest labors of
Rev. C. C. Kimball. All that love Zion
will rejoice to know that the work still
continues with unabated power. The
hearts of pastor and people are cheered by
the recent bowing of some of the strong
ones to King Emanuel. May the work
never cease until they am all gathered in.
AUBURN THEOLOGICAi SEMINARY.
The catalogue of this our honored school
of the prophets is published, and gives the
names of fifty-five students; twenty-five
in the senior class, fifteen in the middle,
i and fourteen in the junior; which indicates
a higher degree of prosperity, as compared
with the condition of the Seminary but a
few years since. One of the most pro
mising members, however, of the senior
class, beloved and respected by all, has re
cently deceased, and he was a colored man.
In this institution, now in such fine work
ing condition, there is no charge made for
room-rent or tuition, and those who need
it, can receive aid from the Seminary fund,
and from the General Assembly’s Educa
tion Committee, for their personal expenses.
There is but one vacation in the year, (ex
cept a short recess during the winter holi
days,) commencing early in May and con
tinuing until the first Wednesday in Septem
ber. During summer months the
earnest and enterprising student can often
find also some genial employment, which
shall put him in funds to help him through
the rest of the year. Everything, indeed,
is arranged so as to help, and encourage
thoge who are worthy, and none such are
turned empty away.
A WORD MOKE OF BUFFALO.
The ladies of the Lafayette St. church,
Rev. Dr. Heaeoek's, have just raised a
thousand dollars by a fair, to finish paying
for the upholstering of the new church.
On Wednesday evening of this week the
children of the Sabbath school in the same
church were entertained in a Christmas
festival. Speeches and singing and eating,
and a crowded assembly of happy little
ones, were the “order” of the evening.
And on New Year’s day it is arranged by
the colored people of Buffalo to have a
grand celebration of the proclamation of
freedom to the slaves of the United States,
issued one year ago. There are to be re
ligious services in the forenoon, in St. James’
Hall, in which Rev. 'Drs. Lord, Smith,
Heacock, and others are to participate;
speeches of civilians are to occupy the af
ternoon ; and an oration by Frederick
Douglass is to come off in the evening.
They mean to have a grand rejoicing over
that great boon of freedom which a kind
Providence has so marvellously brought to
their brethren, and these worthy pastors
and other citizens are not ashamed to re
joice with them.
PERSONAL.
Luther Calvin Saxton, the gigantic
swindler of Mr. Champion, after a fair and
impartial trial, in which he managed his
own defence with all the shrewdness and
ability which enabled him to concoct such
magnificent frauds, has been convicted, and
sentenced to hard labor in Auburn State
prison for the term of three years, the full
extent of the law; and so is likely to find
after all that the way of transgressors is
hard.
Rev. Mr. Ellinwood of this city, and
Rev. Mr. Niles of Albionjhave both been
quite unwell and unable to preach much
for some six weeks past, and similarly af
fected, with severe cold, cough and hoarse
ness ; but we are happy to report both as
now improving, and their friends hope
soon to see them in their wonted places of
labor. Both will be very welcome back
to their pulpits, by many warm friends and
admirers, just as soon as restored health
will safely permit.

E. J. Gillett, D. D., has accepted a call
from the Church in Keokuk, lowa. Rev.
Alfred Eddy, late Pastor of the Pesbyte

charge of the Olivet Church, Chicago.
■ The Central Church in Broome street,
New York, has given a unanimous call to
Rev. James B. Dunn, who has been the
stated supply for more than a year. Mr.
Dunn has accepted the call and is soon to

PAY YOUR PASTOR
Mr. Editor :—We have read with plea
sure, recently, in your columns, that seve
ral of the churches in this vicinity, appre
ciating the extra wants of their pastors,
have made them “presentation visits,” in
which hundreds of dollars, and many other
valuables were given. This is all very
well, but it may be proper to call atten
tion also to the cases of some pastors less
fortunate, who would be satisfied could
they obtain from their churches only the
full amount of their salaries—small at
best.
As these “ presentation visits ” from the
liberal churches cannot be made without
an extra effort, it is certainly not too much
to ask the delinquent churches to make an
extra effort to pay the arrears due to their
pastors. In these pressing times, when
the tendency of every thing is upwards,
excepting the salary of the minister, he
needs all that is promised him, and to
have it punctually .paid.
Who will move in this-matter-/ -.We
should like much to seqgin article in your
columns running something like this: —*
“The churches of A., 8., C., and D. have
recently made successful efforts to pay all
arrears due to their pastors, and have re
solved that, for the future, they will be
punctual in paying his salary as soon as
it is due.”
Philadelphia, January Ist, 1864.
U. S. CHRISTIAN COMMISSION
-THANKS FOR THANKSGIVING-DAY CONTRIBTS
The United States Christian Commis
sion desires publicly to express Its grati
tude to the ministers and churches of all
the loyal States for the many generous
Thanksgiving-day contributions received
in response to its appeal.
From day to day they still come in, and
already there has been received at the va
rious offices of the Commission, East and
West, eighty-three thousand four hundred
dollars. Many churches had already con
tributed several -times before. Many,,
others so recently as not to think best t<>
make collections on
otherwise the amount, large as it is, woulK.
have been much greater. 3*
This evinces that the people are not;
growing poor, illiberal, forgetful of those
who battle for their country, or cold in
their love to God or the government he
has given us. It is also most gratifying evi
dence of the confidence of the people in the
Commission, as a wise, efficient, economi
cal agency for benefiting our national de
fenders in body and soul.
With the enlarged means contributed,
and with ‘the assurance that the warm
hearts and geneious hands that have be
stowed them will not cease, but increase
their liberality, the Commission has en
tered upon broader plans of more thorough
work, and will send more delegates, more
stores and more reading matter, than ever
before. Not less than one hundred and
twenty men, who can both minister to the
sick and wounded, and preach the gospel,
will be kept constantly in commission in
the Armies of the Potoftiac and pf the
Cumberland, besides all sent to all the
other military departments and naval
stations. This will||Bquire many more
volunteers for the delegate service, and
greatly increased contributions of money
and stores to fill their hands with good
things for mind and body to bestow upon,
our brave men.
"Whilst, therefore, we most heartily
thank our bounteous benefactors for all
they have given, we must at the same
time make our appeal for more delegates
and more money and stores.
This winter will afford opportunity for
preaching the gospel to our soldiers while
in winter quarters, and of cheering them
for duty to themselves, to God, and the
country, and of bringing the influences of
home and friends to bear upon them for
their present and eternal salvation, greater
and better than has ever occurred before
or may ever offer again. Give us there
fore, now your help, we beseech you, and
may God’s blessing rest upon you !
By order of the Executive Committe.
Geo. H. Stuart, Chairman.
W. E. Boardman, Secretary.
