providence of god ISf THE PREPARATIOS AXI) CAREER or PAvii, BT THE DSAV OF CANTERBURY I have evrr felt that, among all the visi ble interpositions of God’s providence in history, ,aone is so clear, or so worthy of our admiration, as the preparation and a&reer of the young man Saul That we may tie better, see this, let us brieflly re view the situation of the Church and the worfl in the time at which we have arrived. Th< Church, built upon the foundation of th* old covenant, and destined to carry Cbd's building to its completion, has ex ited the bitter hatred of Judaism proper. This latter must either wane before it, or crush it. This is one great enigma to be solved : to fuse into one the strictness of Judaism and the belief in Jesus Christ. But look again. The Gospel is for all man kind ; is to be received by the persuaded reason, to become wisdom to the enlighten ed intellect, to feed the yearnings of the loftiest spirit; and the intelligent nations of heathendom are facing the new religion in. all the pride of highly cultivated intel leot, and flushed with the triumphs of transcendent genius. A second problem then is, to fuse into one the simplicity which is in Christ and the subtleties of human philosophy ; to show that He is made to man the highest wisdom, and that the discourse concerning Him can take up into itself all the materials, of which ages of the training of the human understand ing have taught the use. There yet re mains a third difficulty—less in dimensions and character, but not less needful to be overcome. We are treating of a time in the world’s history when human life was of small’ account, and personal safety can hardly be said to have existed. Any human instrument undertaking the practical solur tion of either of these great problems, must soon have been borne down by hostile influences, and crushed in the attempt. Now let us again review our ground. In the fusing of Christianity and Judaism, what and who is needed ? No shallow ob server of the customs and prejudices of Judaism will serve our purpose; nor, on the other hand, any who shall have fallen short in his estimate of the entire freedom of Christianity, and the full extent of its encroachments on Judaism. The man whom we seek must be a pure Jew by birth, and by education imbued with the fullest and deepest knowledge both of the law itself, and of that fabric of human tradi tional interpretation which the Rabbis had built up around it. Then as to our second requisite. It will obviously be bard to combine in one man the endowments which we have just men tioned, with this other, no less necessary, that he should have been versed in the Greek tongue, which was then the univer sal vehiole of thought and argument; should have been trained in Gentile habits of joining thought to thought; and should J|ave acquired that degree of acquaintance with heathen literature, which might enable him to dispute with effect in Grecian schools and among Grecian audienoes. Our third difficulty could only be over come by one who should possess the privi lege, at this time not so common as it after- _ wards became, of Roman citizenship,— which might, by the peculiar immunities attached to it, except him from arbitrary punishment at the caprice of petty provin cial officers, and give him the right of ap peal to the great central power at Rome. I need hardly say that all these qualifi cations were united in Saul of Tarsus. First, he was of unexceptional Jewish de scent: an Hebrew of Hebrews. Then he was brought up at Jerusalem, under Gamaliel, the most distinguished Pharisee of his time. Even more : he had been himself a keen and unsparing foe of Jesns and his Gospel. He had, for himself and others, exaggerated to the utmost the antagonism between Christianity and Judaism. He had looked down, iu his anxiety to prove their irrecon cileableness, into the gulf which parted them, and was not likely to attempt lightly or flimsily to bridge it over. He was the man,' if ever there was one, to set forth the full freedom of the Gospel of Christ, and its independence of Mosaic customs and ordinances. For these qualities, he had himself hated and persecuted it. Again, he was born, and spent, at all events, many important years of his youth ful life, at Tarsus, one of the principal seats of Grecian learning. There he had ac quired mastery of the Greek language, as then spoken and written in the East: and had read those authors whose sayings he afterwards quoted in dispute with Gentiles, and in his epistles to Grecian churches. Educated half at Jerusalem, half in Cilicia, his mind had beoorne accustomed to that form of logical argument in words, and of joining thought to thought, from which the pure Jewish mind was alien. And add' to all this, that as a native of Tarsus he was born with the rights of Roman citizenship, which others, even in high stations, had to acquire at much cost. I have said nothing as yet of personal qualifications. Yet these were to the full as marvellous. Hardly ever was man born with more qualities tending to enforce per suasion, to acquire influence over his fellows. Ardent, sympathetic, universal in Mb regards, and able to' cast himself into every other man’s position; within certain limits becoming all things to all men, but absolutely immoveable as to compromise beyond these limits; carrying all in his heart, and making every man’s griefs and joys his own; with tears for every sorrow, and glowing terms of endearment and con gratulation ever on his tongue; master, at the same time, of the most melting exhor tation, and the keenest and most delicate irony; pouring out his words, whioh orowded one another to keep pace with the rapidity of his phases of thought, flying from proof to proof, and from one indignant refutation to another; sometimes seemingly f oree tful of bis main subject, while he pursues word after word which have sprung in along the path of his disputation, then returning to it again, in manner again to desert it: till at last ail these off-lying ideas and images, and allusions, are bound up together in the majestic and iL conclusion. Such was the mind, and such was the heart, of which God made duets, and trios, and to each there was a If wo ask wha h t were the outward Sac- to™*’ a "S els T^ elconlin g the tenstics of one who was to do so miohf ° ? ftb m ? ht - This P leee was , work, we find them summed up by hlufjelf SS operatic but it was perhaps the ■ 10 representing the aspect of' him bv ht ? ri h° F 6 r At 1 enemies- hi« Krviilv m °y nts conclusion of the chanting Father Ignatius his speech was contemptible IITSs *° the fr° nt °f the P iatform a “d re afflicted, at all events from the time of his ° d a COU P Ie of iU-mannered youths to conversion, with a nervous maladv ™move their hate which, after a few grins, . panied probably with feebleness of sitbt f 7 H ® * heD announced his test which he speaks as his thorn! the &° f fr ° m 5 the Nat ™%> messenger of Satan sent to buffet him - hi P a sermon which was partly narra of which when he “17 “r™ ’ and tlve and P a rtly laudation of the Virgin i ? t m!htU remold £ *“1 Mary ’ For thc first three-quarters oAn spoke 8 as weaknesl lb! the Lord hour the discourse was listened to with was to be perfected N Hl f S ® tren S th marked attention, but some of the audience derfiul. endurance anH W ° n ’ ? tand l n £ at thc end of the room got omitted which have 86 j S of be i m P atient > and commenced walking out. r Gd St ' !

The Guardian reports the proceedings on the laying of the foundation-stone of some new buildings for Dr. Neale’s “well known Sisterhood,” at Bast Grinstead. It appears that there are now “16 confirmed sisters, or sisters of the black veil, and 18 probationers, or sisters of the white veil.” On this occasion there was a procession, headed by a “Processional Cross, borne by a member of the confraternity, in cassock and surplice.” Among the banners were those of “St. Margaret,” “St. Mary," “St. Miohael,” and of the “Holy Ghost,” the last named “borne by a deacon and two choristers.” The list of persons in the procession included “E. Popoff, and the Archimandrite Stratuli, D.D. (of the Holy Eastern Church.”) “The clergy were of course habited in their surplices and hoods; and nearly all of them wore red or white stoles. About one-half had birefctas, and the rest the ordinary trencher caps. The Archimandrite Stratuli, whose rank, it is said, corresponds very nearly with that of a mitred Abbott in the Western Church, was ROMANISM IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. The following are the two extracts from the London Record, referred to in the com munication of our London correspondent, as illustrating the progress of the Boman izing tendency in the Church of England. father iesATivs nr Manchester. Father Ignatius held two services on Sabbath in the Manchester Corn Exchange. The congregations, especially in the even ing, were numerous and respectable. Into both services a considerable ceremonial dis play was introduced. The afternoon service passed off quietly, but the evening service came to an abrupt termination. At seven o clock (says the Manchester Mxa/rniner) a distant sound of chanting was heard through the door leading from the ante-room, which, becoming louder and louder, announced that the singers were approaching the hall. Several 1 persons jumped from their seats, and there was a general straining of necks and eves towards the side door fi w53"~iJtntBKHlUU' CUli pfiliMlon woulT emerge. Tables had been plaoed round the room so as to form a free passage to the processionists. First came a tall young man dressed in a black robe, over which was a short- white muslin frock. He held aloft a large gilt crucifix. Two and two, several others followed, similarly dressed, but having nothing in their hands. Two small boys came next, in scarlet skull caps and robes, and Bhort white surplices. One of them swung a burning censer, and the other carried a second vessel, ready to take his turn when his companion’s incense was consumed. Following them came Father Ignatius and two tall brethren, habited in white and gold, and blue and scarlet vest ments with crosses on their backs. One of them carried a mahogany crook, something like a bishop’s crosier. The procession slowly walked round the room, chanting all the while. With the exception of Mr. Lyne’s immediate attendants, who belonged to the Norwich monastery, the procession ists belong to Manchester, and are mem bers of a local branch of the “Third Order,” and they appeared to be persons of good social position. The greater portion of the audience rose to their feet as- soon as the leader appeared at the side door, and they remained for some time in that position. Upon the wall at the back of the platform was draped a piece of crimson cloth to form an effective background. Against it was a table, upon which was a figure (apparently wax) of the Saviour on the cross. On either side were tall burn ing tapers, and before it were vases of rich fiowers and some smaller tapers. Entering upon the platform the processionists bowed low before the altar, and, dividing into two companies, took up their position to the ex treme right and left. Ignatius was in the centre, and his two gorgeously dressed brethren on either side, the incense bearers waiting upon their chief, and apparently making themselves generally useful. Their backs to the audience and their heads bent low, the occupants of the platform com-' menced by chanting a hymn of 28 verses, the refrain of which was, “ May Jesus Christ be praised.” A considerable num ber oi the audience (chiefly ladies) took part in the monotonous song, and joined in the salutations incessantly made to the image. Ignatius, during the latter portion of the hymn, took a turn or two round the platform, swinging a censer. The two boys held up his train, displaying a crim son lining with wide blue border, which when turned back upon the white surplices made a showy effect. He then offered up a prayer in Latin, and some responses iollowed, many among the audience joining in and using wbat appeared to be the Com mon Prayer. These preliminary exercises lasted over half an hour, and were all sung. On the front benches were several young women to whom the service was familiar, and who were prominent in the responses and genuflexions. The singing, on the whole, was not well done. There was an exception in a beautilully-written hymn, entitled the “Pilgrims of the Night.” The verses were sung alternately as solos, THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1865 —-.a5.;:..! -i . ■ black robe tied round the waist, with a purple scarf by way of girdle. His hat, also black, was of a somewhat peculiar form. It was brimless, and in outline ex actly resembling a well-shaped architectural capital.” In the course of further details we read:—The banner of St. Margaret is charged with an exquisitely embroidered effigy of the saint; and it was a gift from a member of the confraternity in honor of the occasion. It should also be stated that two of the probationers, having at an early morning service been admitted to the "black veil, wore throughout the day beautiful wreaths of stephanotis blossoms.” Com menting on this event, and its attendant scenes, the Church Times says: — “The incident which will possess the keenest interest for our readers, and which rightfully claims the largest share of our space, is the laying on St. Margaret’s Day of the foundation stone of the new build ings for the occupation of the St. Marga ret’s Sisterhood, Bast Grinstead, and the affiliated orders, and numerous good works which radiate from that centre of beneficent activity. One cannot avoid looking at this event from the ‘now and then’ point of view. Time was when Dr. Neale and the Sisters were exposed to obloquy and insult wherever they went, and especially in the town which was the centre of their self denying labors. On St. Margaret’s Day, at the entreaty of the people themselves, the procession to the site went through the streets ‘as an army with banners,’ with veiled sisters, mothers of religious houses, troops of choristers, and a cloud of priests in cassock, stole and biretta, with the sym bol of our redemption raised aloft at the head and closing in the rear, and the swel ling chorus of hundreds of voices shouting the noble strain—‘Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered : let them also that hate Him flee before Him.’ Time was, when such a demonstration as this would have driven East Grinstead into a frenzy, and have elicited the accustomed protest in the form of bricks and stones; but the patient work of the Sisterhood has con quered bigotry and prejudice, and they passed on their way through the crowded town and between files of reverend specta tors, whose bowed heads and whispered blessings told how mighty had been the change effected by a truly Catholic work done in a Catholic way.” And so, says the Record, proceeds apace the movement for a Homeward revolution of our Church and people. The President on Depravity. —ln a re cent conversation with a minister, President Johnson said: “When I used to hear you ministers preach on total depravity, I always thought that you were exaggerating a theo logical doctrine without warrant in fact. But I tell you, sir, I believe it; you are in the right of it. I have seen so many men in whom I had trusted all my life, and whom I regarded as true and' good men, give them selves over to the worst crimes—lying, per jury, fraud, treason —in this hellish rebellion, that lam satisfied that every man has the devil in him, and that nothing but the insti tutions of law and religion keep itfrombreakr ingout” "THOSE DEAR OLD PRAYER-MEET- rNGs.” It was a beautiful and stately dwelling upon which we looked On three sides of it inviting verandahs opened upon garden or lawn, where cooling fountain, or creep ing roses, or tempting fruits, each in their turn, enchanted the sight, or gratified the tast6. As we wandered amidst this wealth of. beauty, we approached our aged friend who was seated near a side door, and ex claimed, “ How beautiful! Everything that wealth could do, it has done to beau tify your home/’ Bending toward us, with quivering lip and moistening eye, he replied with tones we can never forget: “I would give %t all for one of those dear old rirayer meetings.” Quick as thought our minds were carried back to a little village far toward the set ting sun, where, in the pride of early man hood, he had made for himself a home, and where, with a heart consecrated to his Master s service, he had sought out those who in other days and more eastern, homes had entered, as laborers, into the vineyard of his Lord. We remember how he had gathered these praying ones about him, and a little church was organized, of which he was the leading officer and an unwavering suppor ter. We seemed to hear once more his earnest pleadings for his pastor, and the flock over which he watched. We seemed to see him again in the Sabbath-school, a living active Christian teacher, never finding the hour long enough to weary his class, or satisfy his love for the study of God’s word. How many years of rich enjoyment and "sweet refreshings from the presence of God had thus been granted to him and his be loved partner, as they were training an only daughter to follow in their footsteps. But that only child was at length wedded to one whose enterprise and skill could not be restrained to the village of D . * Scarcely had the pledge been given, that the daughter should never be separated from loving parents, when they were at length persuaded to break away from the church and people they so much loved, and take up their abode in the splendid home of which we have spoken. How was their faith tried, and how were their hearts grieved, to find no place of worship within their reach, such as they loved—but a religion of forms and ceremo nies, inviting their children to its embrace. Day after day and week after week our friend pined for “ those dear old prayer meetings.” Every attention that filial love could suggest, was cheerfully rendered, but wealth or beauty or luxury could not fill the longing soul, or bring back those sweet communions with kindred spirits, in “ the dear old prayer-meetings.” We have seen those in old age, who, de prived of earthly friends and support, have found themselves Vithout earthly homes, save such as municipal laws or charity had provided for them; but not for any such, even, have our sympathies been called forth with such power.

What is true and so apparent in this trivial and common complaint is also true in many of the deep seated and dangerous distempers. The same purgative effect expels them. Caused by similar obstructions and derangements of the natural functions of the body, they are rapidly and many of them surely cured by the same means. None who know the virtue of ihese Pills will neglect to employ them when suffering from the disorders they cure, such as Headache, Foul Stomach, Dysentery, Bilious Complaints, Indigestion, Derangement of the Liver, Costiveness, Constipation, Heartburn, Rheumatism, Dropsy, Worms and Sup pression, when taken in largo doses.

THE “SOCIAL HYMN AND TUNE BOOK*' is an w C £ TOr t 0 gIVe ’ in a volumo of moderate size, the best bymns _ The Tunes, carefully selected and carefully adapted to the hymns, are fitted, it is believed, both to express the sentiments of sacred song and to kindle, in pious' hearts, the flame of devotion. They are old tunes chiefly, with such approved new ones as the Church will not let die. The Tenor and Bass have been given on separate staves, at some expense of space and cost; but to many singers this arrangement will prove helpful and acceptable. While the collection is primarily designed for social worship, it is well suited to the use of the family and congregation. The New York Observer says:—"lt appears to us to be admirably adapted to its purpose. . . . Many first-rate tunes, arranged and printed so as to be easily used. It will bo a most acceptable book in fam ilies, mission churches, and, if our taste was the rule, it would be used in Sabbath-schools.” The Evangelist says“ The. Publication Committee of our Church have just issued a volume which we ap prehend is destined to become highly popular among our churches. It is entitled, ‘ Social Hymn and Tune Book/ .andis designed for the lecture-room, prayer meeting, family-circle, andmission church. It is one of the neatest and most tastelul volumes of the kind, which we have ever met with. Although a 16mo of 512 pages, it is by no means bulky, while the print is clear and distinct, and sufficiently large for common use. Most of the hymns are from the Church Psalm ist, and by means of the index with its references, every hymn can be identified in the two books. The tunes and hymns are arranged throughout the vol ume on alternate pages, so as to suit the convenience of a promiscuous congregation, and enable (hem to join intelligently in their songs of praise.” The older lean Presbyterian says:—“This Hymn Book is really charming in its propriety and good taste as an article of manufacture. ...
