There is no reason that this quality be limited to the emotional nature. The word “heart” is employed in Scripture and out of it, in too broad a sense to justify such an exclusive application of the phrase. We therefore regard it as descriptive of true greatness of soul, as nearly -equivalent to Christian magnanimity.* We sup pose some of the main elements in this characteristic are: Ist. Breadth of view; appreciation and love for the great cardinal doctrines of the Gospel; habitual delight in contemplat ing the great attributes of the I}ivine na ture; a lively recognition of God as present / in nature, in the affairs of men, and in the every-day concerns of one’s own life. With out largeness of heart, a. man is lost amid the minor, relations of things; he'exagger ates the importance of subordinate truths ; he exalts the differences between denomi nations, and spends ‘ life and strength in drawing party lines and establishing Shib boleths. Amid the changeful course of human events he is confused and bewilder-, ed; he is fretful and discontented; he walks by the narrow, limited guidance of sight, not by faith. He takes no large views of human life and destiny as stretching into eternity ; or, if the immortality of the soul 1 is pari of his creed, it exerts no expansive influence upon his thoughts and oonduct. Religion is a narrow, irksome round of du ties; life is a burden, or a soene of trivial enjoyments and pursuits, to one without largeness of heart. 2d. It involves large measures of confi dence in God and expectation of good from .him. He who has experienced the wonder of a pardoned soul at the abundance of God’s grace, has begun*his training in large-* ness of heart. As to any future relations with God, he can say with the apostle: “ For if when we. were enemies we were re conciled to God by the death of his Son; much more being ‘reconciled,-we shall be saved*by His life“He that spared not his own Son but delivered Him up for us all, how shall he not with Him also freely give us‘all*things ?” Largeness of heartis the disposition fully to recognize the infi nite* goodness, grace, and condescension of God, to rely implicitly upon his exceeding great and precious promises, to approach Him as an infallible hearer and answerer of prayer, as more ready, in .His glorious gooduess, to give than we are to aski It looks for large blessings at His; hands,- it; expects great outpourings of the Spirit, marvelous displays of converting grace, wonderful, widespread, triumphs of His truth* over sin, superstition and error. The large-hearted believe with all their souls in the promises of the future triumph of God’s kingdom. The splendid anticipations, the glowing imagery, the grand conceptions of the prophets, exactly meet the. expanded views they cherish. The Kingdom of Christ is the stone, out out of the mountains without hands, growing; spreading, grind-, ing all opposition to dust,; and filling the whole earth. The raging of the heathen, the vain imaginations of the people, the Kings of th'e earth setting themselves and the rulers counselling together against the Lord and against His anointed, the profane and vain babblings of unbelief and the op positions of science falsely so-oalled, do not disturb or alarm the soul accustomed to view God upon the throne, and filled, en larged and exalt'ed with the expectation of the time, when every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God,the Father. Bd, Largeness of heart leads to largeness of plan for God. Confidence in Divine help will kindle boldness in the Divine ser - vice* Cordial belief in the wide adapted ness and unlimited of the Gospel * In 1 -Kings, iyv,' 29, where it is applied to Solomon, Oesenins translates it, amplitiido animi.

Expecta tion of great revival will lead to deeper con secration, more importunate prayer, expan sion of plan and multiplication of effort. The large-hearted laborer expects the world to be converted to Christ,-expects the Spirit to be glorified in overcoming great obstacles and in making trophies of the most violent opposers, expects heathenism to be broken down and supplanted by the truth, and He lays his plans broadly. He admits no impos sibility. He knows no such word as fail. The large-hearted Christian parent ex pects the children whom he has dedicated to God to be converted, the teacher expects his scholars to come to Christ, the pastor, the missionary expects the gospel to win souls and to transform and bless the com munity. They are not timid experimenters, cautiously feeling their way. Their work lies before them, like the statue in the un hewn stone. The statue is there. Their work is but'to reach it and divest it of its unsightly inoumbranccs. v Among large-hearted Christian men, none known to this generation equalled Thomas ChaLmers. His great soul thrilled with confidence in the fitness of the Gospel to raise the ignorant and degraded masses of his countrymen. He believed in the readi ness of God to bestow his Spirit,- in large measures, for the renovation and elevation of the 'guilty, the fallen, and the blind. He established himself among the poor of Glasgow, and made ten thousand personal visits to their homes. He grappled with the monstrous evil of old-world pauperism, and triumphed in the might of that Gospel, in whose inherent efficacy he so firmly be lieved. He gave .his co-workers the motto which the missionary-Elliot wrote upon the last page of his translation of the Bible into the uncouth language of the Indians: “ Prayer and Pains, with the blessing of of God will accomplish anything.” He cherished the great project of sending the Gospel, with all ite blessings for time and eternity, to every family throughout the whole of Scotland; and in the single year in which he was placed, at the head of the Church Extension machinery of the Gene ral as many churches were built or put in pxoeess-o£—ereotion-as—had—boon erected in the whole preceding .century, and in six years, two hundred and twenty churches had been built, at a cost of more than one and a half million dollars. Some may reply, that the natural endow ments of Chalmers gave him eminence in usefulness which ordinary Christians can not hope to reach. Yet there have been ordinary men, like George Mueller at Bri tol, England, who have had no special facilities for great usefulness, —have rather labored under positive disadvantages,— with nothing but this large confidence in God as a, hearer of prayer and in God’s plans for saving the world, to sustain them. In bold reliance upon these supports, they, have formed large schemes of usefulness, and prosecuted them, until, for example, George Mueller provides for over a thou sand orphans, besides pushing several other departments of Christian usefulness—dis tribution of books and tracts, the support of. missionaries: and evangelists, etc. Wichern began his work of love and light for the perishing, youth-of the cities of Germany, with three wild street-boys of the vicious city of Hamburg; Gossner at sixty-five, began to pray and send out missionaries to the * heathen, and the wonderful work of God among the Khols followed their labors. It was largeness of heart which led to the organization of the great societies for the evangelization of the world in this country and in Europe, at;the commencement of the century, most of which have been wide channels of blessing to the world ever since. It behoves every one in the service of the Divine Master, to cherish that largeness of heart that springs from hope, and that shows itself in elastic energy, and in libe ral and large plans for the Church and for the world. In prayer, and in labor, we mast beware of being straitened in our own bowels (or heart,) which is the very reverse of large-heartedness. “ We are coming to a king Large petitions with us bring. ’ ’ 4th. The large-hearted man, it is almost needless to say, is liberal in his gifts. He is infinitely above that meanness of soul, which calculates with how little he can Batisfy conscience and the expectations of his He is far above him, too, who gives lavishly but indolently, who waits invariably until he is called upon. The large-hearted man feels it part of his daily business, part of his enjoyment, of his life, of his,religion, to give. It is with a view to; giving that he seeks to make money.

He'plans’schemes of beneficence, he founds new enterprises, he .rejoices at new openings where he may effectually aid the cause of his Master. On what a pinnacle stands the truly large hearted Christian man of wealth ! .What a grand, exhilarating sense of power he must have ! How great the joy he must experience in giving the Gospel to needy communities, in sustaining great interests in the Church, in founding and strength enin'; Christian institutions of learning, in leading the way in theforward movements of the Church and in stimulating to new forms and developments of Christian activity!

BE ABSURD AND CONTRA- The maD, or set of men, who causelessly attempt, by force of arms, to overthrow a peaceful, happy, and j ust government, are guilty of the highest crime and are deserving of the severest punishment. This plain principle may not be overlooked, dare not be ignored by any government. Not only must rebellion be promptly met and vigor ously and totally put down, but the guilty authors must be punished,as .they deserve. To save the country at unexampled expense from, ruin, and to grant impunity to-the spoilers,, is to encourage them, or others after them, to repeat the attempt. It seems necessary to reiterate- these plain propositions, for the advocates ofthe halting,'Buchanan-like policy of the Gov ernment, are growing bold and numerous. A favorite .method with these milk-and water moralists, is to quote hateful prece dents of punishment for political crimes from the annals of despotic Governments, and apply them, with a most singular con fusion of ideas, to our own position. Thus, in the recent opening address before the American- Institute in New York, by a well-known politician , who has earned’not a little reputation for braveryTrTthe war, we have the following extraordinary jum ble of precedents quoted to point an ex hortation to magnamity:— “The proscription of the Huguenots cost France a million of her most industrious and loyal citizens, arrayed the Protestant Powers of Europe against her in long and exhausting •wars, and more than a century elapsed before the successors of Louis XIV. regained the position and power lost by persecution. The expulsion of the Moors and Jews from Spain, the rigor of the Inqusitibn ■ and the sangui nary policy of Philip 11. in the Spanish Netherlands, were followed by the declining prosperity and rank of Spain among nations. The cruel legislation of the British Parlia ment has driven two millions of the popula tion of Ireland to this country. Austria re quires three hundred thousand soldiers to counteract the effect of severe administration, in her Italian and Hungarian possessions.” These comparisons'* ate not only errbhe oub, they are absurd, they are shocking. To bring the proscription of the Hugue .nots,. the horrid barbarities of Alva in the -Netherlands and of the inquisition, in Spain, and the oppressions of Austria in Italy -and Hungary into with any possible punishment, which the general sentiment of the loyal people of this coun-' try might demand in the case of the rebel leaders, is really too* gross to be felt as an insult. : But it well illustrates the indis criminate manner, in .which, many 'minds regard and write about political primes and punishments. . When -men are .severely nr outrageously treated by their rulers -on some political charge, it would seemappro priate first to ask for the grounds of the treatment, before we make it a plea against all severe punishment for political crimes. Because history records many instances of unjust punishment in such cases, shall we conclude that all political punishments are unjust and will become odious to posterity ? Or have we come to the conclusion that there is no such a thing as a crime on a great scale against a Government; or that, if there is, it differs from all other great crimes, in that it ought not to be punished ? Is a mob of a dozen or of a few hundred a dreadful thing, whose ringleaders should suffer the full penalty of the law, and a mob of millions, with no jutifiable cause of uprising, to be regarded as guiltless ? That political offences in many instances have been punished excessively, and that frequently they have been almost no. crimes at all, or rather that they have often been the outburst of a vehement and honest in dignation against intolerable crime is true; and that; such outbreaks, instead qf being, criminal, are often in the highest .degree, commendable cannot be questioned., The very salvation of a race, and of civilization itself, the whole ‘question of the progress DICTORT. of 1 humanity, may be bound up in a justifi able revolution. In such a case, the re bellion and the criminality are all the other way. Arnold defines kingly tyranny to be “ a royal rebellion against society.” Society rising against such tyranny is not disorderly or criminal; it is merely assert ing its faithfulness to a right order of things. Our own independence as a nation is the result of a righteous revolution, and yet it has been absurdly used to justify one utter ly without, cause and in the interest of Slavery. And because the capture and execution of our patriot leaders, as felons, by Great Britain would have been infamous, — though she did put a price on .the head of John Hancock,.and held Henry Laurens prisoner, in the Tower for many months, — we are, therefore, warned lest we earn like infamy in dealing with rebel leaders. The misapprehension implied in this sort of loose talk is measureless. It reaches the very roots of justice, national life, human liberty and progress. What was the meaning and aim of all justifiable revolutions that ever occurred, in civilized history? What was the aim of Cromwell and his contemporaries ? What, of the lords and people who invited William and Mary to supplant the imbecile James ? , What of Tell, when he sent the fatal arrow through Gessler’s heart? What of the Huguenots, when they joined the popular movements against Catharine* de Medici and the Guises in France ? * What of the first rising of the French represen tatives against Louis XVI? What of Hungary and all the oppressed nationalities of Europe in the stirring times of 1848 ? Was it not to gain a fair amount of politi cal liberty; to realize some of the noblest aspirations of the human heart; to popu larize the 'governments under which they lived; to crush tyranny and to rescue from privileged classes some of the simplest but long-withheld rights of humanity ? And is it not this grand and noble aim, which alone can justify their rebellion, and stamp with infamy those who persecuted and cruelly punished them for their political orime ? But there is country, there is a govern ment an whieli these aims at ‘improvement■ are embodied; these aspirations after liber ty are realized ; in which are preserved all the precious results-of those, bloody move ments, often frustrated in the countries where they occurred. All, that men re belled to gain, all that could: justify rebel lion, is here; all that they chafed to have removed, is here taken away. God, in his infinite goodness, has given room and shel ter for those equitable political conditions— the denial of which has stirred men else where to revolts in this free country of ours. Here, therefore, in all the world, the rea sons for jutifiable revolts are null, and the reasons for acquiescence in the social order are supreme. Here is the rational liberty tor which Tell fought. Who could play the part of a Tell where there is no Gessler ? Shall any one think himself another Tell, . when rising against the very order which Tell* sought to establish?'. Here' is the toleration for which the "Huguenots of France and' Geneva fought and perished. Here, is the repulicanism which the French populace have vainly sought to establish. Here is the great and prosperous nation ality of freemen which Poland and Hungary Dave sought to become. The ends of "legi timate rebellion are all gained, secured and embodied here on the grandest scale. Gan any, possible plea, in defence of re bellion be raised in such a country? jVhatever justified rebellion elsewhere, that becomes but its condemnation here. Here, it is a thousandfold more criminal than in all ilto world beside. There can be no rebel lion here but in sympathy with despotism and tyranny, for its tendency must be to overthrow the great national resultof all the patriotic movements in the world's history. Surely to compare any of the authors of the pro-slavery revolt in our country, with the patriot leaders, who have thrilled the world with their deeds and sufferings for liberty, were enough to make them turn in their graves. Bather may we imagine their spirits appealing to us sacredly to guard the liberties which they toiled and bled to gain, but which we are privileged to enjoy; .solemnly charging us to protect them by the gravest penalties, and to make memor able ih all the annals of time, the folly and criminality of any rebellious attempt to overthrow them, by our treatment of the Offenders. “ Columbia/' we may think them saying, “art thou worthy of the great, the magnificent charge of the world's realized hopes ,of political. liberty ? Behold our wounds, contemplate our sorrows, see us on the scaffold and the' rack, in the dungeon and: in dreary? exile; see the bitter enmity; the cruelty prompted by "arrogance and-by Genesee Evangelist, Nfo. 1009 fear that have been poured out upon us in every barbarous and horrible form ■ the dear earnings of all these sufferings are' committed to thee. And dost thou make light, of; the nearly successful attempt to wrest; them from thee ? Because we suf fered foul and cruel wrongs in: gaining these liberties, shall it be a like cruel wrong severely to punish those who would destroy these liberties, and throw away the ' result of these ages of suffering ? Such lament able confusion, such perversion of the plainest principles of. justice would prove thee utterly incompetent to the high trust imposed upon thee. Nay, .it cannot be, that such, gross falsehood shall become the guide of clear-eyed, eagle-winged Columbia, in this cfitical- hour. Rise and discharge thy solemn responsibilities to liberty and to man ! Sternly and righteously reckon with the authors of a rebellion against a truly free and popular Government, a rebellion against all the valuable ends, aimed at in all the justifiable rebellions of history, a rebellion against liberty'in the interest of despotism and of slavery. Stamp it with endless in iamy. Orushout the last spark of its bale ful fires; 0 let not liberty, victorious at last over all that hindered its progress, and enthroned in power and prosperity in the Western world,'fail by'the weakness, the sons tuber last, yet van quished foes!” CONTRIBUTIONS TO FOREIGN MIS SIONS. KELiTIOHS OF OUR CHURCH TO THE . WORK. „ The contributions to the treasury of the American Board in August, it- is stated, were very large ; ‘so’ much so that the apprehensions of heavy indebt edness which ? prevailed for seVerhl months are at least greatly relieved. Our own churches have not been behind hand. Harrisburgh Church, as reported in the last number of this paper, contrib uted over a thousand dollars, a very liberal amount indeed. But it must be conceded that in the Foreign Missionary work, onr Church is very much behind her ability and her privileges; more than that, she is be hind both the other large branches of the Presbyterian Church in this country, if a tabular statement copied in our last from the Presbyterian Banner can be relied on. It there appears that, while our members contributed last year, on an average, 78 cents:each to this cause, the United Presbyterians gave 98 cents each; and the members of the “Old School” $1 17 each, these latter exceed ing us exactly : fifty per cent. Still more remarkable is the contrast on this point, when by looking a little farther, we find that in Home Missions the case is almost exactly reversed. There, we are at the head of the list, being 50 per cent, in advance of our brethren of the “other” branch, and still further beyond our “ United” brethren: In education, in publication, and for Congregational purposes our contributions are also con siderably in advance of both, so that Foreign Missions actually appears as the one exceptional cage in the ' comparison, (Ministerial Relief not having been be fore our Churches for the entire year.) As a denomination/ we are indeed giv ing something more to Foreign Missions than to other causes, but our interest in this leading and'grand object of Christian beneficence as shown in : our contribu tions is remarkably:, below that of our brethren in other Presbyterian bodies in this country. y ; We fear, too; That we are retrograd ing, or that-atbest we are at a stand still; .while the 'other branches of the Presbyterian Church have been making rapid advances' in. this direction. Ac cording to the report presented by the Permanent Committee on Foreign Mis sions to the General Assembly of 1859, our contributions to this cause were 73 cents per member, while those of the Old School were but 63 cents, scarcely half of the amount lately reached. These facts Cannot be explained on the ground of a lack of vital interest on our part, in the progress of Christ’s King dom, or of an inferiority to the two branches of the Presbyterian Church, just mentioned, in an intelligent estimate of the supreme importance of the For eign Missionary work. Hor can it be that our means are so limited, that liber ality in one direction precludes large con tributions in another. This might be considered probable, if the gifts of our people appeared to be limited to one or two, benevolent causes. The United Presbyterians, for example; gave, accord ing to the schedule referred to, fifty per cent, more to foreign missions than to all other outside - causes put together hence that may be viewed as a kind of hobby with them 1 , leaving them little to spare for; other objects. But in our list of charities there is'no such sign of ex haustion in a single channel. The simple 5 .TE K M .. „ „ _„ per annum, in ■< » * BySlail, a*.

The “ Old School” and the United Pres byterians excel in this department of ef fort, as it seems to us, because they carry on Foreign Missions, as we do Home Missions, under their own management and direction. The marked difference in the relations of this branch of Chris tian effort to those denominations and to our own, is a simple and sufficient rea son for the difference in results, so unfa vorable to ourselves. And as we, by the Divine blessing, not only equal, but excel in liberality in the other branches of effort, where we act through our own church organization, why may we not expect in like manner to excel upon the important field of Foreign Missions, if we but resolve to act as a denomination there also ? Has not the time come to move in this matter, so important to the vital piety and welfare of the church itself, as well as to the world of perishing heathens ? OUR PUBLICATION COMMITTEE’S INVESTMENTS. We are. gratified to be able to state that a second edition of the new “ Social Hymn and Tune Book” has already been called for and is going through the press, making five thousand copies in all. The sales of the “ Church Psalmist” since it has been the property of the Committee reach seventy thousand copies. It will be seen that the Committee’s invest ments are not injudicious or idle. Presbytery of Chicago — The semi annual meeting was held in the Eighth Presbyterian Church of Chicago, begin ning Monday evening, September 11th, with a sermon by the retiring Moder ator, Rev Edward A. Pierce, of West minster Church. Rev. Glen Wood, Dis trict Secretary of the American Tract Society, was chosen Moderator. The chief item of business was the examination of Mr. Bradford Y. Ave rell, a licentiate of the Presbytery, and recently a graduate of Andover, for or dination and.installation as pastor of’the Presbyterian Church in Hyde Park, to which, he has been unanimously called. It was in all respects, well sustained, and highly creditable to the candidate. The installation will take: place at no distant day. The church has been va cant for several months. Bev. Asahel L. Brooks, whose pas toral relations with the Edwards Church had been dissolved, was dismissed to the Presbytery of Knox, having gone to Peoria to labor with the church of that place. Two of the Chicago churches are. now vacant—-the Edwards and Cal vary, Mr. Trowbridge having resigned the pastorate of the latter in the spring. One new member was received by the Presbytery, James Y; Matthews, from the District Convention of Mil waukee. He is in charge of the Eighth Church. This is a new enterprise on the “ West Side,”-and is fast justifying the antibipations of its projectors. They are soon to build abother edifice, the the present, with sittings for about two... hundred, being far too small. This part of the: city is rapidly'growing, some six hundred houses being in process of erec tion. They are mainly residences; and the class of people among whom the. church stands is the kind from'which our churches derive their principal strength. There is every prospect of a large and thrifty church. Presbytery appointed Bev. W. C. Dickinson, of Lake Forest, to look after the wants of disabled ministers, and of the widows and orphans of those de eeased, within its borders, according to/ 1 the recommendation of the Assembly .^j. The second evening of the session is set apart for religious exercises, and we listened to the trial sermon of Mr. Averell. The next stated meeting was ap pointed at Lake Forest, April next. E. J. Him,, Clerk Pro Tern. Italy and the Pope.—The Cabinet of Yictor Immanuel has undergone a significant change since the failure of the late negotiations with the Pope. The following item appears in the resu me of the Pall Mall Gazette: “The withdrawal of Signor Lanza from the Italian Ministry of the Interior,, and the appointment of Signor Natoli as his successor, will probably result in an ing?- definite postponement of the policy’ of. reconciliation with Borne, Signor Lanza ’ having been almost the only determined ; advocate in the Cabinet of such, a po licy.” Mrspr.ACEi).—Our neighbor, The Pres byterian, locates one of its items—the resignation of the Oberlin President Fin ney—incorrectly, when it places it un der the' “ Presbyterian, New School,’* heading.' : • ' w '- -
