One thing all will admit, which is, that none but earnest preachers do much execution. But what is earnestness? This is not easily told. We know it when it is seen, and we cannot be imposed upon by its counterfeit, ; but it is somewhat difficult to define it. We may term it the welling up of the soul, crowd ing, filling every avenue, letting itself out at every egress—limbs, eyes, mouth, every feature. We may term it the living fire that burns through, and gives vitality to the ex pression of him who speaks. Perhaps this is as near as we can get. We can readily tell, however, what-it is not. Loud declamation is not earnestness. A man may bawl, and not have a particle of it; and many assume (unconsciously) vehe mence of manner to conceal the lack of germ : - ine earnestness ; but it is a great mistake to suppose that furious bellowing, vehement gesticulations and unnatural attitudes make a speaker. One may use impetuous gesture ; but it must be apt, and expressive, and not excessive. He may be even violent, but there must be a cause for it ; it must help on the discourse; it must seem to be called for; otherwise, the more vehemence, the more sawing the air, and "tearing a passion to tatters." Thought should bear a due pro portion to the quantity of sound and action. It is almost enough to -cause sensible men to be afraid of being too earnest, to see the bois terousness of some incoherent and empty speaker who " Thunders every period o'er And almost cracks your ears with rant and roar." The art of keeping quiet is a great thing in a speaker. Subdued power is intense power, as a rule. It is intensified by compression. The man who had buried his wife and six children in one week, moved a whole audience to tears, by simply pointing at the sad row of graves when the last was ried. The silence which deep feeling imposes, under such cir cumstances, is far more eloquent than words. We have high authority for asserting that: " More nature oft, and finer strokes are shown In the low whisper, that th' tempestuous tone, A single look more marks the internal woe, Than all the windings of the lengthened '0 Up to the face the quick sensation flies, And darts its meaning from the speaking eyes ; Love, transport, madness, anger, scorn, despair, And all the passions, all the soul is there." The French have a word which we translate unction, that carries with it a good deal of the essential idea of genuine earnestness. It is a sort of union of earnestness and tenderness ; it may be, • (but it is not always,) pathos. "Unction," says Vinet, " denotes no special quality of preaching, but rather the grace and the efficiency which are connected with it by the Spirit of- God." "It seems to me," he continues, "to be the total character of the gospel; the general savor of Christianity." Another Frenchman defines it to be, " a mild warmth which causes itself to be felt in the powers of the soul; it produces the same effect in the spiritual sphere as the sun in the physical; it enlightens and warms: puts light in the soul,, and warmth in the heart." An American writer speaks of it as the spirit of deep and tender earnestness in preaching— the strong and ardent desire for the spiritual I welfare of those to whom we minister, which takes hold of the heart, and finds its utter ance in the tones of the .voice—which , finds expression in the kindling and moistened eye, in the countenance when lighted up with the glow of the soul; this spirit, pervading the great and solemn truths of the gospel, as they are poured forth from the :lips and heart of the preacher, into the ear and heart of his hearer—this is what we mean by unction. It is reported of Joseph John Gurney, that when in this country, he addressed a com pany of students fin- the ministry, as follows: My young brethren', you knoW when De mosthenes was asked, What is the first thing in oratory? he replied ' Action' ; and when asked, What is the thing of second import ance ? his reply was,' Action' ; and what the third? he still replied, ' Action." Now,' said he, `if I were asked, What is the thing of first importance in preaching? my reply would be Unction; and if, What second, and, What of third importance? I would still say, Unction.' " Perhaps this was putting the case too strongly ; but certainly it is one of the things of first importance in a preacher. As to the sources of this unction in preaching, they are not scholastic, or earthly. I .` Ye have an Unction from the Holy One,' says the apostle. It has been truly remarked that it is a gift, a grace. Like the spirit of prayer, it is a precious gift, which is obtained by near and intimate communion with Christ, and by having the great truths of Revelation wrought into our belief and experiences. If I were asked to name one thing contributing more than all else to this intensity of inward feeling, it would be faith. It must come f'rom the deepest conviction of the reality of the things that are revealed : and that is the fruit of faith. "We believe, therefore we speak.." Unseen things that become "substance" to the speaker or writer; cannot fail to produce earnestness. If a man would have his sermon palpitate under his fingers as he composes and delivers it;" if he would have it grow hot in handling; if' he would "mightily persuade" his hearers, and more and more, as he advances, storming the outworks of the understanding and the judg ment, plunging. heated shot into the citadel of the will, and carrying the bastioned fortress of the affections, and planting there the ban ner of the Cross, he must live in sight of the throne, and the tremendous issues of the judgment day ; he must be a man " full of faith and of the _Holy Ghost."---Hational Baptist. PROGRESS OF RELIGION IN THE UNITED STATES. In the half century ending with 1850, the population of the United States increased nearly four and a half fold. In the same pe riod the number of evangelical ministers, churches, and communicant church members, increased more than nine fold. In 1832 there was one evangelical minister to every 1437 souls of the entire population. In 1855 there was one such minister to every 937 (and a fraction) inhabitants, • not including religions teachers among the friends, or the more than 12,000 local preachers in the Methodist de nomination. In 1855 there was one communicant in an evangelical church to every five and a half persons above ten years of age, or one to every seven and two-third persons in the total Population. There is reason to believe that the rate of increase in the churches over the growth of the aggregate population which took place between 1800 and 1850, still con tinues. • The above - statement is made on the au thority of the late Rev. Dr. Baird, who re ported the statistics, with great particularity, to the meeting of the Evangelical Alliance in Paris, in 1856. THE ENCYCLICAL IN CANADA. Whenever it rains, the Papacy is sur.e to have its dish up. The great political ques tion of the day in the British North Ameri can Provinces is confederation. Popery has, or imagines itself to have, a deep interest in it, and, with the Encyclical iti hand, mounts the wave of public excitement, to secure new conquest in the state. We take the following from the 111oittreal Witness of the 16th ult : Evidently, these times of constitutional changes are deemed by the Catholic Bishops of Canada eminently favorable to the assertion of their supreme control of the people in all political matters. Tht Catholics over the Province are known tote ; on the whole, re markably well indoctrinated with the belief in Papal infallibility ; they will, therefore, sub mit to that Encyclical, which saps the funda mental principles of political freedom, and the Hierarchy is seizing the proffered oppor tunity of inflicting a stunning blow to French liberalism. Infallibility is the irresistible weapon with which the Canadian clergy. is now entering the political arena, and all. liberL ties that may possibly emancipate the mind from clerical control, are denounced. as so many pestilential heresies ; and in fact, the brand of infamy is set on many of the funda mental principles of popular freedom. - The other day we had the pastoral letter of the Catholic Bishop of Montreal; and now is -the turn of Monseigneur Cooke, of Three givers, who, in a lengthy document orders the faithful of his diocese to submit blindly to the Ency clical, and to carry out fearlessly its harsh provisionS. "You will," he says, "in fol lowing these counsels and conforming your selves to4-these instructions, exhibit that do cility and lively faith which you have inherit ed from you ancestors." Monseigneur Cooke then hurls the Ency clical at the head of the French democrats. "He had," he says, "pointed out to the people some time before, and in company with his episcopal colleague, the existence amongst them of some men, enemies of their faith—men the more because under a mask, and professing to be obedient sons of the Church in order the better to speed their errors. But now the first error condemned in the Encyclical will help you to recognize who are these men." This first error consists in the assertion that politics, governments, and civil affairs should be held - as a domain distinct and independent of religion. "This false and anti-christian principle, you have heard proclaimed a great many times under one shape or other, in - popular addresses, and in the public writings of certain men who put themselves before our populations so emi nently Catholic, as if they were the guides or the doctors of the people. They place them selves upon a ground which they call the po litical domain, and there they say that the Church has no right to set her foot; and that the priest who dares to deal with some of the questions discussed on that domain is repre hensible and worthy of blame. They affirm, with their wonted impudence, that the Church must be separate from the State, that the priest must not meddle with politics," . In the above the Bishop lays down a broad principle, which, if accepted by the people, must give the Hierarchy the fullest control of the politics of the French 'Canadian nation ality : " The truth is, our very dear brethren, that every political act which you have to perform, has two sides : one which is boun ded with your-conscience and eternity, and the other which is bounded with the interests of time. It will be easy, therefore, for you to understand how your pastors are in justice bound, from the very fact of their having charge, of your souls, to lay out before you the right principle of duties so great in themselves, and so important by their conse quences." With this spiritual theory of politics, a Catholic citizen is not free to decide upon any ' political action otherwise than as his priest directs ; and the latter alone is compe tent to judge how people should vote on all occasions, so that the more important side, that is to say, the interests of the church, should be first secured. This theory implies the complete enslavement of citizen's and the abrogation of all political- freedom. NOT IN VAIN. There are a great many persons who are discouraged because the labors that they have most honestly engineered for the good of men seemed to have been utter failures. Some of our labors are failures. It is not to be supposed that we are such deft marksmen that we can strike the mark every time. jut do not think that you have failed sikly because you do not see the result of your work. Men are like apple trees. Some apple trees ripen their fruit in July; while the fruit of other trees goes on growing, and growing, and growing, through August and September; and in October the farmer picks it off; and then it is green and hard; and he keeps it through November, and December, and January, and into February, when the snow is knee-deep, and the tree has lost its leaves, before it is thoroughly ripe. And many of you are just like these late-bearing trees. You are bearing good fruit, but it will not be ripe till you have shed your leaves, and gone into your winter. So be patient. There are thousands of men who labor without any apparent fruit, but whose lives are nevertheless very fruitful. I refer to missionaries, humble pastors, and self- - deny-• ing teachers, who labor among poor and ignorant men in obscure places, whose out going and incoming is not chronicled in the papers, who are not praised and who really do not see, after a year spent in faithful efforts to spread the Gospel, that they have done much. There are ministers whose shoes' latchets many of ukare not worthy to unloose—men that royally give their lives with patience and grandeur, in obscur ity, and without the remuneration either of praise or present prosperity, and that die sadly, saying: "It seems as though my life had been in vain." 0, faint heart! God will show you an other picture when you stand in Zion and before Him. Your life has not been in vain. You have sown seeds in thousands of hearts that will come up in due time. You have not labored for naught. God is covering in the various seeds that you have sown, and watering them with your tears, and there will be a precious harvest even on earth, while in heaven you will come with your bosom full of sheaves. And to all discouraged laborers in the vineyard of the Lord who are really working with faith and zeal I say, be of good comfort. If there was ever a man who seemed to spend his life for nothing, it was Henry Martyn—a man of an exquisite nature, , great power, and a sweet and loving dispo sition. Taking the highest honors at the university, and having the best prospects in the church, he was led by the Spirit of God to consecrate himself to. the cause of THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1865. foreign missions. For that object he sac rificed that which was dearer to him than life—for she to whom he was affianced de clined to go with him. He forsook father, and mother, and native land, and love it self, and went an elegant and accomplished scholar, among the Persians, the Orientals, and spent a few years almost without an apparent conversion. Still he labored on, patient and faithful, until, seized with a fever, he staggered. And the last record that he made in his journal was. that he sat under the orchard trees and sighed for that land where there should be sickness and suffering no more. The record closed, he died, and a stranger marked his grave. A worldly man would say, " Here was, an instance of mistaken zeal and enthu siasm ; here was a man that might have produced a powerful effect on the church and in his own country, and built up a happy home, and been respected and hon ored; but, under the influence of a strange fanaticism, he went abroad, and sickened, and died, and that was the last of him." The last of him ! Henry Martyn's life was the seed life of more noble souls, per haps, than the life of any other man that ever lived. Scores and scores, of ministers in England and America, who have brought into the church hundreds and thousands of souls, and multitudes of men in heathen lands, all over the world, have derived in spiration and courage from the eminently fruitful, but apparently wasted and utterly thrown away life of Henry Martyn. And are there not some of you that are despond ing because you do not see the fruit of your labors, who will receive consolation from, and be revived by, such an instance as this ? T. E. Willoughby, of Ogle county, Illinois, writes the Genesee Farmer, that he obtained some seed corn last yearfrom Joseph Wright, of Waterloo, N. Y. ' and " had a large crop." Mr. Wright sends to the West for his seed corn, (Ohio Dent), and we suppose the ob ject in a Western farmer getting his seed from him, is that after it has been grown in this more northern latitude it will be earlier. Corn ripens earlier as we go North, and when taken South has a tendency fora year or two to ripen at the same time—and ig conse quently earlier. With wheat the case is re versed.. Wheat ripens ,earlier as we go South, and for this reason it is desirable, to get seed .wheat from a more Southern latitude.. Green corn may be raised 'two or three weeks earlier by obtaining fresh seed every year from. Canada, and, there is•no finer corn for the table than the genuine Canada sweet corn. Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the vegetable kingdom, it seems to us there is none more wonderful or mysterious than the result's from planting a seed. Its germination, its continuous growth, the persevering deli cacy with which it puts .forth its vernal coat. How solicitous we watch for the expected ap pearing of the buds which compactly envelop the concealed beauties of the unfolded flowers, and when we behold the smooth expansion of the softly tinted petals, and inhale its lux urious perfume, then we realize the long-ex pected fruition, and our hearts are impressed with a due sense of the kindness bestowed by Him "who doeth all things.well." Let every farmer, mechanic, merchant—be he in the higher or humbler walks of life, it matters not—in fact, every, person who has .a small plot of land at his disposal, and who has not, that lives without the city's limits, devote a portion of that space to the cultiva tion of flowers. Interest your family in this diversion, permit your wife and children to assist you in planting the seeds, and when the young tendrils leave their mother earth, seeking assistance like the newly born babe, let them participate with you in training and guiding them for future admiration. Their affection will soon be as lively as your own ; their interest will prompt them to a daily performance of the slight labor necessary to revive the flower drooping forms after a day's exposure to a burning sun. Your daughter will beautify and adorn your rooms with the lovely blossoms, whose rich fragrance shall impart to you new life after a day of toil. Home will be more cheerful, its surroundings more pleasant ; your love for the old home stead will grow stronger: and you and your children will look with fear and dread to an estrangement from the place, beautified and ornamented through your instrumentality. Front the Country Gentleman. SORGHUM IN WESTERN. NEW YORK. L. S. Robison of Ontario county, N. Y., writes to the R ural New Yorker:—" The Yuestion is asked, `Why - do Western New ork farmers neglect Sorghum growing?' I do .not presume to answer the question in general, but in this community, the eastern part of Ontario county, we tried the experi ment on a small scale some seven years since. Either for want of pure seed, proper machi nery, or of proper k.nowledge in preparing and manufacturing the canes, it proved a per fect failure. And many came to the conclu sion that Sorghum was not adapted to our lo cality. " Last spring I obtained some seed and planted about two acres. It grew very slow until about wheat harvest, when. E went through it with my two-horse plough and a good strong horse, ploughing two furrows in a row, throwing the furroWs to the hill, when it went up equal,to gold in - Wall street after a Federal defeat. It grew from ten to fifteen feet high, and a great portion of the stalks as large around as my wrist. It was estimated at about thirty two-horse wagon loads. Con sequently, I found myself in a difficulty I had not anticipated. agtintituraL CHANGE OF SEED. OTTLTIVATION - OF FLOWERS, "Fortunately I attended the State Fair and purchased a mill and evaporator, with which I manufactured two hundred gallons as nice sirup as 1 ever wish to use, from my own crop, and about one hundred gallons in small lots, from cane which was brought to me from three to ten miles. The latter I manufactured for one-half the product, or fifty cents per gallon cash. Some small crops made as high as 196 gallons per acre. I have sold nearly all I have to spare at ten shillings per gallon retail, and could sell ten barrels more before next fall, if I had it to spare, at the same price without any effort. "Now, sir, I have demonsttated to this community that 'Sorghum can be grown here at better profit than most field crops, at pre sent high prices. It will be cultivated here on almost every farm the coming season." DIARRHEA IN CATTLE.-J. H.
