" EVER YOURS TILL GLORY."
The Rev. Robert 'Murray McCheyne was
a young preacher of the Scotch National
Church, who, after a period of nine years
of unceasing, happy labor, was called
away to his crown when just thirty years
old. He was laid, amid weeping thousands,
in.? new tomb opened for him under the
shadow of his own church—venerable St.
Peter's of Dundee—and ever since his
memoir, penned by the hand of a loving
friend, has been before the Christian public,
Robert Murray .llcCheyne has been re
ourded as a model minister of Christ. He
used to sign his letters—written in a neat,
round, fair hand, real "spiritual love.notes,"
as they have been termed—" Ever yourstill
glory.'
MeCheyne s life was . a perpetual inspira
tion ; and his piety was eininently hearty
and cheerful. He dwelt,. during the, nine
years of his earthly ministry, far away from
the damps that arise about Doubting Castle,
and hard by the Beulah where the sunlight
ever falls. His biography has a rare power
to sober us when tempted to levity, and to
cheer us when tempted to despondency.
To pray and to search the word of God—
to carry the' hidden fire from house to
house—to prepare the beaten 'oil for the
sanctuary—to plead with dying men, and
to allure to the brighter world by the joyous
tread of his own heavenward march—these
formed the varied but yet unchanging em
ployment of his fervid spirit. Love of
Jesus was his master passion. His Saviour's
work was his work; he was continually
about it. " This one thing," he did. He
never wearied and he never rested. Every
day he gave to Christ.
Dr. Hamilton says, he used to seal his
letters with a sun going down behind the
mou'ntains, and the motto over it, The night
cometh. For souls he watched as the
fisherman's wife trims her lamp in the
window and watches for the storm tossed
and belated ones in the offing. He hoisted
the fight of Calvary; and it was his life's
joy to welcome the returned wanderers into
the " covert from the tempest."
In prayer he must have been a mighty
and prevailing wrestler. Instead of a pen
ance it was a delight. He gave, himself to
prayer.; and the secret of that blooming,
vigorous piety, whose leaf never withered,
is fo be found in the perPetual baptisms
which-his soul received at•the—mercy-seat.
He grayed before he sat down,to his studies,'
before hp went Out: to Visit .the sick, and
before he entered the pulpit. He rose from
his bed. , to plead-for his people. He had a
"scheme of prayer" and marked the names
of missionaries on the map that he might
pray for them in course and by name ! His
Bible he read with the eager avidity pf one
who is delving in a gold mine with the
shining ore laid bare at every stroke of the
mattock. " When you wxite," said he to
a fri9p4k.
tuies. One 'gem from that ocean is worth
all the pebbles of earthly streams."
Those who often heard him preach say
that his sermons were artless 46 spillings of
the heart." He overflowed into his dis
courses: Once, ;:-when a brother minister
told, him that he had been preaching
from that fearful passage, "The wicked
shall be turned into hell," he inquired, with
some emotion, "Were you able to preach
it with tenderness ?" His few printed- sal
mons are models of affectionate entreaty.—

THE STRUGGLE OF EVANGELICALISM
WITH RATIONALISM IN FRANCE.
The London Weal& Review has the fol
lowing interesting information and pertinent
observations respecting the great strife
between faith and secpticism for the do
minion of the most important bulwark of
Christian Prot r 'antismiin France:
The contest v. 'tich has raged for some
time in' the Reformed Church in Paris be
tween the supporters of M. Guizot and those
of M. Henri Barbezat, as candidate for the
sixth membership of the Presbyterian
Council, has terminated in the election of
M. Guizot. We hail this result with un
feigned satisfaction, regretting only that M.
Guizot's majority was, so small-1,298
votes against 1,288. Readers are aware
that the Reformed Catholic or Presbyterian.
Church of France is divided into two
parties, one of which maintains the grand
truths of the Christian faith as contained in
a divinely-inspired Bible, and accepted by
the Reformers of the Sixteenth century,
while the other is composed of men who
deny the authoritative inspiration of Scrip
ture, hold Arian or Unitarian views on the
subject of the Trinity, and go the utmost
length of modern Rationalism. "these par
ties could, be linked in no genuine union,
and the rupture between them, which
reached a crisis last year, was one of the
most propitious events that could have oc
curred in relation to the progress of true•
religion in France. M. Guizot, it will be
remembered, added new lustre to his repu
tation some time ago, by publicly and em
phatically proclaiming his adhesion to the
Christian faith, and by pointing out the
danger to which t o he Christian Church is
exposed throughout Europe from infidelity
seated in, professorial chairs, or speaking for
itself from the pulpits of Protestant pastors.
He did not scruple to give practical sha,,pe
and effect to these sentiments by siding
with the orthodox party in their opposition
to the 'renewal of M. Coquerel's license to
preach.. M. Coquerel is graceful, fluent,
popular, and Socinian. He has all those
qualities "which` folly and green minds run
after." An outcry was raised that he was
the victim of persecution, and all who op
posed him were called fanatics and bigots.
But the Reformed Church in Paris proved
that the discipline of Calvin had not be
come a mere reminiscence by withholding
from M. Coquerel his license. Since that
time M.. Guizot has been strongly obnoxious
to the Itiitioikatstie party in Paris, and they
have strained every nerve to efeat his
election to the Presbyterian Council. "The
real crime of M. Guizot," says the: Paris
correspondent of the Times, " is his having
opposed the , renewal of M. Coquerel's
license as a preacher, because M. Coquerel's
doctrines were not those held by the Pres
byterial Council as the rulers of the Church.
When the ' liberals' cry out against perse
cution it may be interesting to know how
they understand, and how they practice,
liberalism. There was, not long ago, at
Lyons, a pastor, M. Adolphe Monod, whose
piety and eloquence were highly spOken of,
but who advocated the doctrines of the
Gospel; his supplemental salary was - Wien
from him; he was forbidden to appear in
the pulpit; and was finally dismissed from
his office—by the liberals. For the same
offence M. Napoleon. Roussel, the
.pastor of
St. ttlerine, was forced to retire—by the
liberals. M. Jaque was dismissed from his
church at Gray—by the liberals:' M. Prat,
of Laffitte, one of the most fervent and
active of mintsters, who preached the Gos
pel in his church and out of, it, and who.
was wont to assemble his parishioners in
his own house for, spiritual instruction every
Sundiy afterwon, was censured and dis
.missed—by the liberals: There were at
Geneva three pastors' said to possess re
markable talent, and held in the highest
esteem; they taught the doctrines„ of, the
Reforination in the city of. Calvin ; one of
them was forced to quit his church; an
other had to undergo a. tedious prosecution,
and the third was dismissed—by the lib
erals "
The demands put forward by the Ration
alists on behalf of the Protestant pastor are
thus sketched by the Esperance ' the organ
of the Evangelical. Protestants of France :
" The right of to-day preaching orthodoxy,
to-morrow rationalism, and the day after
any thing he pleases; the right of celebrat
b -
in.. the feast of Easter, without believing in
the resurrection of Jesus Christ; of cele
brating Christmas, without believing-in the
miraculous birth of the Saviour; of celebrat
ing Pentecost, without believing in the
Ascension; of reading in the church the
Apostles' Creed, without believing the
miracles therein enumerated; of administer
ing baptism in the name of the Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost, without believing in the
divinity of the Son and the. Holy Ghost; of
administering the Lord's Supper, Ivithout
believing in the Atonement; of combating
in sermons what he iebound to respect in
-the Liturgy; and the righCof performing'
the most solemn acts of worship, which he .
must regard as a vain fiction or a pious
fraud. If the pastor fall into error, or give
public scandal, no one has a right to object
to his teaching. The elders must not, for
they are purely administrators; synods can
not, for they are to know nothing 'about
doctrine ; nor the- minister of public wor
ship, for he must remain a stranger to'
questions of dogma. There only remains
for the liberal pastor butone , authority
matters of doctrine—his own ;,and the con
science of every man is at his mercy in the
church, for most of the Churches but
one pastor. Such is what is demanded for
the pastor. Here is what is, taken away
from the Church—the_liberty of drawing
up the formula of its own faith, and causing'
it to be respected; of putting liMits to the
errors of the preacher; of governing itself
freel' in all flirtfloncazna...dcutiiii...A
1 ny official bodies erected by , it; •
of being an organized society—in a word,
of being a Church, and not a mob: The
liberals would have the . Church ' a vast
edifice open to every thing and to all' (to
use the language of the... Lien, M. Coquerel's
paper), in which Christlans and philoso
phers, orthodox and rationalists, Deists and
Pantheists, and before long, no doubt, Jews
and Mahomedans, shall live in .a moral dis
order for which the word chaos' is mild,
and Babel insufficient. Two words describe
this sort of liberalism—rra,mely, anarchy and
despotism; the despotism of the pastor. and
the anarchy of the Church." The election
of M. Guizot to the Presbyterian Council is
an important check to these men, and we
earnestly congratulate the Presbyterian
Church of France upon the occurrence.
MUSIC AND MARTIN LUTHER,
Luther had a passion for music surpassed
only by his great desire to do good. When
a poor boy at Eiservach, he would sing in, the
streets from door to door fora
_piece of bread.
While at the university at Enfiet, the stn.-,
dents would meet in his room to sing songs
and sacred hymns together. Says one, "We
had excellent music last evening—as always
at any social gathering Where Luther is."
-Music had great power over him. At one
time, when in the Augustinian Monaatery,
he was missed for a time from his duties.
A monk on going to his cell found the door
barred. After knocking without any re
sponse, the door was broken open, and Lu
ther was discovered senseless on the stone
floor. They only succeeded in reviving -him
by strains of sacred music chanted by the
choristers who were brought to his cell: He
always loved dearly music, and believed it to
have strange potency against the wiles of the
devil. He use to remark, Satan, hates music.
Charlotte Elizabeth says " A taste for
music and its high gratifications, must cer-,
tainly elevate the mind. Ido firmly believe
that the man whose bosom yields no response
to the concord of sweet sounds, falls short of
the standard to which than should aspire as
an intellectual; being and - though Satan does
fearfully pervert this solace of the mind to
most vile purposes, still I heartily agree with
Martin Luther that in the abstract the devil
hates music.' "
The good all love music.
A THOUGHT FOR THE FRIENDS OF
MISSIONS.
Dr. Knox; of New York, ielates`thata gen
tleman was travelling in a stage-coach. While
passing over a river the bridge gave way, and
the coach, with its passengers, fell into the
water. The passengets; besides .the gentle
man; were a lady and a child. By great ex
erticins he succeeded in rescuing the child,
but its mother was drowned.• As the gentle
man, some years after, was describing the
painful scene, a young lady was observed to
listen to the story with great eagerness and
emotion. When he had concluded, she ex
claitned, "I am,that child, and never until
this moment did I know my deliverer, or
have an opportunity to thank him." You
must imagine, I cannot attempt to describe,
the scene that followed.
How much more delightfullhan even this,
will be the meeting in heaven, of those, who,
by our humble efforts, have been rescued
from eternal destrudtion. Some from _the
north and south, others from the east and
west, and allthe children of God by faith in
Christ Jesus, shall rise up and callus blessed.
Whit joy will there be that day in heaven I
Angels no such joy can know; for not to
them, but to us, were the words spoken, " Go
ye into all the world, 4,nd preach the Gospel
to every creature. "—English Magazine.
