THE DEPUTATION OF THE OHBISTIAN COMMISSION AT THE FEOBT. How They Were Baoeived—What They Saw— The Wants of the Army. City Point, Ya., Sept. 10, 1864. . Our company, consisting of Mr. Geo. ft. Stuart, Mr. Stephen Colwell, and other officers and friends of the Chris tian Commission,set out from this point to make a general reconnoisance of the immense field for Christian effort which the armies of General Mead and Bn tier afford. Onr route lay through a laby rinth of roads running in every direc tion, traversed by trains of army wag ons, droves of cattle, men on foot and on horseback, often enveloping us in clouds of Yirginia dust, among myriads of tents, disposed without much regard to order or system so far as unpractical eyes could discern, among desolated farms and houses, and an endless vari ety of forts, covered ways, bomb proofs, batteries, and all the horrible parapher nalia of war. During our visit we called upon and were very courteously entertained by General Grant, General Williams, Ad jutant General of the Army of the Po tomac, General Patrick, Provost Mar shal of the same, General Griffin, of the fifth army corps, General Hancock, commanding the second army corps, General Birney, commanding the tenth army corps, and General Park, in tem porary command of the Army of the Potomac. Several ot these are out spoken Christian men, and nearly all spoke in terms of high commendation of the services of the Christian Com mission. At the field hospital for the second army corps we found a station of the Commission. Mr. Emmons was acting as. agent, assisted by four delegates and a storekeeper. There is abundance of work for two mort men in this corps. On the invitation of Col. Collis we went down to the front line ot works, where we got some idea of the hercu lean labors and fearful exposures of our noble fellow countrymen "who are ia the trenches. We met General De Trobriand, who very politely conducted us through tho covered ways, the bomb proofe, the forts, and our different lines of entrenchments, pointed out to us the outer rebel line of works before Peters- burg, which arc very strong, the fort which was blown up by General Burn |r side’s mine, and the Union and rebel ii lines of pickets, but two or three hun idrod yards distant, and both apparently iwithin talking distance of ns. We saw fa Union Colonel go out, exchange pa mpers and have a short chat with a rebel. | Ot course the colonel had no shoulder | straps in sight. it The amount of work done with the : axe and Bpade by these brave men along the lines, in throwing up fortifications, is truly wonderful; in addition to which, they are visited nearly every morning and evening wttti a starm ofratjel etiells. The general pulled one out from under his tent, where it had been thrown by the rebels, but fortunately had failed to' : explode. We next visited the station at the . hospital of the ninth army corps. Mr. f Shearer, who h’As for a long time been; I the efficient agent at this station, was Must about leaving, with the general [.regret of those who had been connected fewith him. Bev. Mr. Stowe, of New succeeds him. Here we met Pquito a large number of delegates, who Lwere, nevertheless, unequal to the work |to be done. We had a very pleasant f-*CoDference with the delegates and six ! ’or eight neighboring chaplains, and • were gratified to find that they were working so harmoniously together. The Commission is evidently fulfilling its legitimate function, which, so far as . efforts fbr the spiritual good of the sol-' [ diers is concerned, is to supplement the; work of tbo ehaplains where there are any, and to supply the deficiency-where , there are none. ' On our second day, which was the Sabbath, we held two religious meet ings. In the forenoon a congregation of sixteen hundred colored men, from’ the brigades of Colonel Seigfreid and Thomas,theformer of whom waspresent, were addressed from the steps of the -Gurley House by Mr. Stuart and others. It was a suggestive and inspiring sight f to see these two brigades of negroes | addressed from the porch of a slave [ holder, who is now surgeon in the rebel army. In the afternoon we met some four teen hundred men of the brigades of Colonel Gwyn arid Gregory over the lines of the Weldon railroad, at the extreme left of the army line. The meeting was conducted similarly to the one in the morning. Both commanders were present, with many other officers. The deep and earnest attention mani fested by both congregations was ex ceedingly gratifying. Of the negroes, at least two-thirds raised ..their hands in testimony of their love to the Savi our, and most of the rest gave the same token of their desire for religion. I should think two hundred in the after noon congregation / professed faith iri Christ. It was a precious privilege to preaoh Christ to these thousands of men who were hungering and thirsting for the Gospel. . ; We subsequently visited two stations of the Commission in the tenth corps, in charge of B.ev, Mr. Parker, one in the fifth corps, in charge of Prof. Adams, of the Michigan University, and one in the eighteenth corps, at Point ofEocks, under the direction of Mr. Miller, where a large number of faithful men are at work to benefit the souls and bodies of the defenders of our country.. Such is the demand for religious pa jama in the army that' we are unable MHt all our resources it. As passing along thb road men. Hyould come , to lis.for reading. matter,; they saw. our : wagou; labeled ‘(Christian Commission.” The confi-j dence felt in the Commission 'is r i r ilhiS'- : trate.d by the fact that a soldier put a note for $lOO into the hands of a dele gate, who was a stranger to himself, for collection in a distant State. The badge of the Commission was to him a sufficient guarantee of intregity. At various points a_ precious reli igioua interest prevails, an’d --numbers :are daily consecrating tiierase!ves to Christ. In a crowded meeting which iwe attended at this place, twelve spl diers arose to .signify their des.ire for Salvation. Where else in bur country can a more invitingor mdro'promiaing field of labor be found than in the army? ’ The fear has been extensively enter tained and frequently expressed that great depravation of morals would re sult from the disbanding of our army and the return of the soldiers to their homes. I have shared such apprehen sions myself, but I share them no lon ger. I believe, from all the evidence I have obtained on the subject, that nearly or quite as large a portion of the army as of the civilians at home are Christians, a large proportion of the unconverted are seeking religion, and the unconverted are more susceptible to religious influences. One delegate remarked that you would sometimes scarcely hear an oath in a whole day in the hospital in which he labored. On inquiry we learned from those who were returning home at the close of their three years of service, that, even the unconverted among them were more serious than when they enlisted. A captain whoptood by acknowledged that he bad used profane language be fore entering the army, but had left it off through the influence of his wife. How many of oiir noble soldiers fresh from the homes and hearts of the peo ple have been restrained from vice and strengthened in virtuous purposes by the letters, the influence, the prayers of loved ones at home and the 'efforts of good men in the army, is known only to the all-seeing One. Bernice D. Ames, Field Secretary. OHBISTIAR MISSIONS AHD AMEBI -OAIJ MISSIOBABIES. » Probably no Society in the world sends out to the .mission work more talented or better educated men than are sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. Their linguistic labors have been very; valuable both in the work of Bible translations, and in the. preparation of lexicons, dictionaries, and other edu cational works. We would not be understood as endorsing the idea, that talent and education are essential to success in the preaching of the Gospel, however desirable they may be as as sistants. Some of the most success ful missionaries have been men of ordi nary capacity, with but a moderate education. They were, however,' re markable for piety, and for an earnest, persevering devotion to the work of saving souls; and the American Board has not been without tnen pf this char acter. “Men of"tEA worl3Tiave~the idea that talent and learning are necessary in a minister or missionary; and when a man isfoundin wbichbothare united, they expect to find him more than usually successful; and.when not suc cessful the -inference is, . drawn; that 'Christian missions are a failure.' We have recently met with two illustra tions of this, which we cite to point out the mistake of the writers, and to show the high opinion which English men of the world, who do not think , much of Christian missions, have formed respect ing the character and ability of Ameri can missionaries. On.the 4th of August the London Times had an article on the present jphase of Christianity in.Turkhy. Alter alluding to the non-success of Romish priests among the Turks, the writer goes on to say “ The Protestants have met with a little success. Their missionaries, par ticularly those sent from America, have been of a class intellectually far higher than the men who usually, take part in such enterprises. They have, indeed, been among the most gifted persons who in our day, have given their servi ces to the cause of religion. As scho lars, critics, observers and intelligent travellers, they hold a high place,” - Let this testimony from tße Times weigh with those who -are in the habit of running down the men, who, giving up home and 7 ; friends, banished themselves to “ icy hr “ burning plains,” to make known'tthe blessed Gospel to perishing men. j Mr. W. W. Reade,- in his “Savage Africa,” after describing ‘‘ Colonial Par sons,” says: “The other species of missionaries are a very different class of men. They settle in the interior, or on-some semi civilized part of the coast. They live entirely among the natives, learn their language, and by, compiling grammars and founding written characters, render important services to science. Of such men, who lead a life of unceasing in dustry and self-denial, I can only speak in terms' of admiration and regret; for I shall show that the trial of their lives can do little for civilization, nothing for Christianity.” Further on the same writer remarks: “ The, American missionaries are per fectly fitted for their work. They are good classical and Hebrew scholars, and their attainments have enabled them to systematise the dialect of their savage parishes. They are also practical men; build their own houses, sail their own boats, have made several journeys into the and have rendered several services to Bcience.” This, it is to he observed, is from a man who thinks Mohammedanism bet ter than Christianity for African civili zation. Such testimonies to the char acter and the ability of Christian : missionaries must be highly gratifying to every Christian, and ought to in crease confidence in our missionary ; organizations, and also give the missions i of the American 'Board a higher plaee I in our affections..

That there are great obstacles to missionary efforts, and much to try the faith and patience of Missionaries, is readily acknowledged; but in every quarter of the globe where the Minister of the Gospel has' gone, fruit has been reaped, not to the extent to be desired, but perhaps equal to the efforts and the faith ■of ChristianB. 'Did- the* Church pray ’more, an d exercise a greater faith'. it would be permitted to see greater things accomplished in the way of en larging the boundaries of Messiah’s Kingdom. 'Hi? ' In view of the fact that American missionaries are doing a great work, that they are qualified for it, and in vie w of the farther fact that the Ameri can Tioard requires pecuniary aid, ought not Canadian Christians to help at this time of need ? The work which they are engaged in is one in whicn every Christian should find an interest. They are obeying, according to their ability, the Lord’s command to preach the Gos pel to every creature; and we should esteem it a privilege to be permitted to help them in so doing. —Montreal Wit ness. THE EPISCOPAL CLERGY AND THE DRAFT. .Replies from the War Department have been received by Bishop DeLancey, of the Western IST. T. Diocese, and As sistant Bishop Bedell, of the Diocese of Ohio, to inquiries whether, under the Enrolling Act of February 24, 1864, the clergy of the Episcopal church, whose office is supposed to forbid them from becoming combatants in war, may claim exemption from that part of eervice un der the seventeeth section, published a week or two since in our columns. The reply to Bishop DeLancey, simply re peats the section. That to Bishop Be dell says : - ; “I have the honor to state that I understand the term ‘ religious denomina tions' used in section 17 of the act ap proved February 24,1864, to include the Episcopal denomination, and to exempt ‘ the .members . .of, that denomination, who shall by oath or affirmation declare that they are conscientiously opposed to bear ing arms,’ and who shall establish the fact that ‘ they ore ‘prohibited from doing so by the rules. and . articles .of faith and practice' of the ‘ Episcopal denomination.’ ” On this letter the Episcopal Recorder thus comments. We fear that this construction of the law excludes the clergy from its bene fit. No one pretends that persons ap pealing as members of the Episcopal Church can declare on oath that ‘ they are prohibited from doing so by the rules and articles of faith and practice’ of the * Episcopal denomination.’ The utmost that the clergy can claim is, that .they areopposed on account of their official position to bearing arms. Few, we ap prehend, would be willing to make oath that the < rules and articles of faith and pract ice’of the‘Episcopal denomination’ forbid even the clergy from bearing arms; and none, that this prohibition extends to all members of the Church. Even as to the clergy, we know of no rule or article of faith forbidding their bearing iirms; though if were bettor that such rule should exist. Much trouble would have been prevented’in Bishop Polk’s case by such a rule. The Church would probably have been spared the scandal of his taking arms; or if he persisted in doing So, the scandal of his continuing a Bishop.” : ~ This was .the subject of a recent charge of the Bishop of Quebec to the clergy of his diocese. He spoke of three elements of ministerial efficiency-—l, The Clergyman’s Habit bf Study; 2, His Power of Preaching; .3, The Spirit uality of his character. We copy his remarks under the last head as giving expression to perils which every de voted minister has 1 felt surrounding his personal religion. . But after all, the most powerful ele ment of preaching, the most persuasive, and most instructive, is the spirituality of the preacher’s character. The most eloquent of sermons is a holy life. It is useless to preach tho gospel unless wo live the gospel. I speak riot ’simply of the effect of example; what I mean is, that if the utterance of the mouth is to be effectual,it.must proceed from the full ness of the heart. Now, there are clangers incident to our position which we sball be unwise to ignore. Universally, familiarity deadens the freshness of feeling. The tendency to subside into routine per vades all professions. In some it is tol erable ; in ours it is fatal. The adroit ness of the adept which accomplishes the complicated and once toilsome pro cess with unconscious celerity and mechanical accuracy, is in some profes sions more than an equivalent for the winning of that enthusiasm which is the companion of novelty. Not so in ours. Our calling is no trade. Our religion must be vital throughout. Every process must be instinct with life—freshness of feeling—the felt reali ty of the truths we utter is of the essence of our function. And the very magni tude of the interests with which we deal brings us in danger of insensibility to them. Day after day we tell of heaven and of hell, of souls lost and saved. We declare the Incarnation of God in the Man Jesus; we announce the per son, describe the influence and opera tion of the Holy Ghost; and the weight of awe attaching to these amazing mys teries by frequent repetition stuns the soul: So stupendous is our regularly recurring, theme, that the mind grows passive under its pressure. Here, my CLERICAL EFFICIENCY. brethren, is our danger. By- custom of handling holy things we risk the loss of spiritual tone. Wo minister the words of consolation to the sick and the dying. We use language of the deepest feeiing —wo call upon the Lord Jesus by his Agony and Bloody Sweat, to deliver us. The wail of our supplication rises and falls, and swells again, and repeats it self,tbo, very presence of God—plead ing for deliverance from the burden of sin, Which iB intolerable—palling npon the ! .SbnrW God—the Lamb of God—to hear our prayer—to grant us peace, and iterating in every form, the pierc ing cry for mercy— Lord have mercy upon us, Christ have mercy upon us, Lord have mercy upon us. * Now, my brethren, is it not the case that these words often go beyond the reaches of our soul ? that wo read them without Reeling the compunction—that longing for peace and holiness—which they express ? And ob, what a falling off is here! If these forms of passion ate entreaty are used merely as the cold expressions bf propriety, what foolish forms they are! Foolish! they are worse than that. It is impossible that we can. so use them without having our souls seared as with a hot iron. DON’T BE A GLOOMY CHRISTIAN. 1. Because we have too many of that sort; now. Numbers of the disciples are shady, not sunny, have more of Novem ber in their countenances than of June. They do ,not seem happy as Christians, and probably are not. Let there not be added even one more to this number. 2. Becausethereiseverythingtomake you a lively, animated, cheerful Chris tian.; You trust you are forgiven and accepted in the Beloved,; which is the greatest blessing infinite love could be stow upon you, and that blessed fact should shed a brighter gleam of gladness over all your days of prosperity, and' chase away all the gloom of the triajp of life. With such a Saviour as you have to love and enjoy, such a home in pros pect above, such a Comforter as the Holy Ghost, such travelling companions towards heaven as the saints, and such blessed work to do as that of leading others to read the word of light, it is a to hang:ones harp on the willow. 3. Gloomy disciples misrepresent re ligion. A gloomy sinner fairly repre sents the master he serves arid the side bo ;has chosen. But a gloomy Christian mikes people believe religion is a gloomy affair, and leads them to believe that they,shall have to be gloomy too, if they become religious, all of which is false. He is a proper interpreter of the Chris tian faith who rejoices in the Lord, and whoso joy would not be more than iB meetjif it should become a “joy unspeak able and full of glory.” 4. Gloomy disciples can do.very little good. 1 Sinners are not fond of this com pany! are likely to avoid it. Besides the gloom of such a mind snaps the sin ews! of all exertion for the good of others. How can such a disciple main taitrta cheerfiiiand lively arid-animated conversation about the glorious things of the kingdom of God, thereby stirring up the souls of sinners to enter into the joy of the Lord ? The gloom of the soul implies that all the sin there has not gone out, and of courge the lips are sealed, and usefulness is out of the ques tion. - Therefore, let gloom find it's victiihs where it can; but.let every disciple of Christ fbel that ho is born to be the hap piest person in the community where be lives—is sacredly bound to bo a spec imen of : the hallowed joyfulness true religion is capable of producing —is bound to let the observing world know that God does “make. Jerusalem a re joicing and her people a joy’’—is bound to make it appear that redeeming love can give such sacred peace, holy sereni ty, arid substantial joy, 5 as cannot bo .produced by all that is loved and sought by the followers bf thc wOrld?—Eosion Recorder. FULTON STREET, NEW YORK, DAILY PRAYER MEETING. SCENES OP THE LAST WEEK. «An officer in the 115th New’ York Yolimteors found" the precious Saviour some eighteen-months'ago, while in the army, at City Point, Va. For months heenjoyed the life and power of God’s grace in his soul, and, as he expressed it, “had a heaven - below.” But at length the unholy influences by which he was surrounded, the temptations of the wicked one, and the delusions of the world, drew; him from the path of duty into doubts and darkness. “ He now requests Christians in the Fulton ’street meeting to beseech the Throne of Grace in his behalf; that the dark clouds, the doubts and fears, and the thick darkness, which obscure his pathway, may be dispersed, and that he may once more emerge into the light and liberty of the children of God.” This request took a deep hold on the feelings of the meeting, and the anxious officer was remembered again and again. There is always a heart which beats responsively to such requests as this. A woman sat weeping in the meeting, unknown to all. . A request had been read, Which said that an anxious'sinner was in the meeting, begging for prayer that she might become reconciled to God now, while wo were praying. A young man arose arid said:-—“There is more than one anxious sinner in this meeting. I am one, and I want you to pray for me.” A young man said:—“ Into this meriting I came, an anxious sinner, and here I found peace and pardon through our Lord Jesus Christ. What our anxious friends need to find is not prayer, but Christ; not the place where Christ has promised to be, but Christ himself, who comes to meet the anxious sinner here.” We have nothing that we can properly call our own, but what we have reason to bo ashamed of. §iiluerJi!i^ffifttls, DYSPEPSIA, DISEASES RESULTING FROM Disorders of the Liver And Digestive Organs, ARB CURED BY GERMAN BITTERS, The Great Strengthening THESE BITTERS Have Performed more Cores!
