Guthrie. The Parables of ohr Lord read in
the lght of the Present Day. By Thomas
Guthrie, D.D. A. Strahan, publisher,
London and New York. Square Bvo,
PP- 304. Gilt aide and top. Phila.: For
sale by Smith, English & Co.
, Commentators have not failed to notice
the universal applicability of our Saviour’s
parables to the circumstances and characters
of men. Dr. Guthrie has employed the
whole of this volume in expanding this ob
servation. And his large powers of illus
tration have rarely found so broad a field,
Or been so effectively applied, as here.
Preaohers will find here a stimulus for
thought, and all readers of the Bible will
learn more of thfe richness of its contents
and of their many-sided bearings upon hu
man life and manners than they perhaps
ever suspected before.
The externals of the volume are exceed
ingly tasteful and substantial.
A. L. 0. E. Rescued from Egypt. By A.
L. 0. E. New York: Thomas Nelson &
Sons. 16mo, pp. 465. Two illustrations.
Here are two stories running side by
side, and mutually illustrative. Around
the story of Moses, told in the form of lec
tures by an English vicar, is constructed a
Story of English life, in which appear the
temptations of this world, the sacrifice of
prospects in life for the sake of Christian
principle and the happy providential de
liveranoe, all developing with the progress
of the lecture on Moses. It is much in the
same manner with the “ Exiles in Baby
lon,” previously noticed, and reveals new
gifts and deeper capacities of a valuable sort
in the mind of this prolific and profitable
writer for the young. In its own way, this
volume carries out the principle of the one
previously noticed—that of the universal
applicability of the great lessons of the
Bible to the characters and ciroumstanoes
of men.
Views of Prophecy concerning the Jews,
the Second Advent, and the Millenium.
By a Layman. Phila.: Smith, English &
Co. 18mo, pp. 94. Price 75 cts.
Written in perspicuous and direct style,
by one who seems to have diligently and
prayerfully studied Scripture, history, and
human theories, this little book must inter
est all students of prophecy. The writer is
a believer in the pre-millenial, personal ad
vent of Christ, and, of course, upholds
views of literal interpretation of prophecy,
&0., which commentators and the mass of
evangelical Christians discard. His viefrs
of the present religious condition and pros
peots of the world have the usual desperate
oharaoter with those of his class. An in
termediate state is also one of his dogmas.
It must be read with discrimination, but is
worth reading.

A Centenary Offering to the Women of
American Methbdism from the Ladies’
Centenary Association. New York: Carl
ton & Porter. 12mo, pp. 304. For sale
by Perkenpine & Higgins.
Not less wisely than chivalrously and
justly are our Methodist friends giving to
the women of this body a prominent share
in the interest of their year of jubilee. This
substantial and well-printed volume is a
worthy tribute to the Christian character,
the zeal and the- efficiency df many noble
women whose lives, albeit marked with the
peculiarities of their sect, furnish much to
stimulate and instruct the children of God
iu all denominations and of both sexes.
The volume also includes an account of the
organization mentioned in the title, which
proposes to raise $lOO,OOO to build two
halls for accommodation of theological
students in commemoration of Barbara Heck,
who first invited Embury to Amerioa, and
whom the author terms “ the Foundress of
American Methodism.”
Weaver— Morgan. The Converted Col
lier: or. The Life of Richard Weaver. By
R. C. Morgan. New York: Carlton &
Porter.
This we believe to be the first American
edition of the life of one of the most re
markable instances of the power of Divine
grace in the Churoh of our day. As the
title page describes him—“ a brand plucked
from the burning and made into a burning
and shining light, by whom God is leading
thousands of the vilest of sinners to the
cross of his dear Son/’
His remarkable conversion took place in
1852, and he is still preaohing Jesus with
indescribable pathos and power, especially
to the poor, the vile, and the neglected.
Read his life by all means.

PUBLICATION COMMITTEE’S TRACTS-
Run, Speak to this Young Man. By
the ReV. Thomas Brainerd, D.D. Pp-'fil.
A stirring and solemn appeal, not so much
to, as in behalf of, young men, addressed to
a too negligent Christian community, to
parents, sisters, and friends of young men.
The author beautifully acknowledges his
personal indebtedness to the prayers and
dying-benediction of a pious mother. His
efforts in behalf of this class have been re
warded in his own charge, which now in
cludes sixty young men among its members.
Doing and Knowing. A True Narra

markable specimen of experience in passing
from infidelity to belief and from death
unto life, is here delineated A rigid self
scrutiny, which did not in the least seem to
interfere with the spontaneity of the exer
cises, furnishes us with a vivid picture of
interior life, which is well described and
turned to practical account by the writer.
The traot might profitably be put into the
hands of some classes of infidels.

REV. WILLIAM JAY.
Three persons, destined to figure largely
in the annals of human fame, were born the
same year with Jay, namely, Lord Welling
ton, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Sir Walter
Scott. Wellington was born the same day,
the first of May, 1769. Born to no secular
honor or fortune, enough for Jay that he
could speak of parents of sterling good
sense, upright, practically religious, beloved
by those who knew them. Thus reared in
the shade of obscurity, obliged in the days
of boyhood to earn his bread by manual
labor, yet who would' hesitate to choose
his reputation and influence, rather than
the fame of the three great names already
mentioned ?
When a lad of fourteen, hearing a -ser
mon enforcing the duty of family worship,
he returned home, and, with becoming
modesty, besought his father to undertake
the practice. Declining, as many do, on
.the ground of inability, to the surprise of
the parents, William offered to officiate.
#With tears on their part, the offer was ac
cepted, and immediately a family altar was
erected.
Several distinguished ministers preached
•their first sermon before reaching the age
of twenty. President Edwards and Dr.
Archibald Alexander did so at nineteen.
Dr. Bellamy when about eighteen: Jay
was but little past sixteen. Y ery youthful
in his appearance and in the tones of his
voice, he often went by the name of the
boy preacher. In expoundings Scripture,
however, he showed himself a man, and
commanded the esteem of men.'
At the critical period of nineteen, urged
by Rowland Hill, he preached eight Sab
baths in London. His discourses, enlivened
by a style of chaste, beautiful simplicity,
yet level to. the humblest capacity, met
with uncommon favor. The. plaoe, accom
modating thousands, was crowded to excess.
This visit to the great metropolis, repeated
for nearly fifty successive years, shows with
what unflagging interest he was there
heard.
But Jay’s name and ministry are more
intimately associated with another locality,
the city of Bath, celebrated as a place of
resort for its mineral waters. Strangers
and visitors, at that fashionable watering
place, came with eager interest to hear the
word from his lips. Among his auditors,
were orators, statesmen, divines, poets,
historians ; men, too, of world-wide reputa
tion, Fox, Burke, Sheridan, and Wilber
foroe. Attractive as were his public min
istrations, they were also successful. The
messages of that pulpit, faithful, direct,
tender, proved, in hundreds of instances, a
&vor of life unto life. An American cler
gyman of great excellence, having returned
from a European tour, writes : “In reply
to the inquiries of my friends, as to whose
preaohing I liked best, of all I heard while
in England and Scotland, my answer, has
, uniformly been, ‘ The preacher at Bath,
whom you all know as the author of the
Morning and Evening Exercises.’”
1 Among the elements of his efficiency and
success in the pulpit may be noted his
prayetfulness. His practice was to go from
■the closet to the pulpit. A keener edge
was thus given to the weapons of truth
which he handled.
Unaffected simplicity was another ele
ment. Cromwell invariably ordered his
soldiers to fire low. Jay aimed to do the
same in the pulpit, sympathizing not in the
least with those affecting to be deep and
original; thus, too often, doing no execu
tion, shooting over the heads of their
hearers. A French astronomer, it is said,
could bring down the higher parts of astro
nomy to the comprehension of ordinary
ininds.. Such was Jay’s admirable sim
plicity, that whatever the theme, the com
mon people, even children, heard him
gladly. .
1 A third element was the decided evan
i gelical cast of his discourses, combining
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY MARCH 22. 1866.
usually the doctrinal, practical, and experi
mental. A sermon into which the three
Rs of Matthew Henry, ruin, redemption,
regneration, did not lamely enter —“Jesus
Christ, and him crucified”—pleased him
uot. Intimately connected with this, and
beyond ordinary precedent, was his felicit
ous manner of usingthe Scriptures. Having
,a large portion of the Bible in his memory,
his discourses were so blended with appro
priate passages, striking texts, as to impart
no little unction to them.
Still another characteristic was the sin
gleness of purpose. Wilberforce, acquaint
ed with Jay foT more than forty years, says,
“ I remember, when he was a very young
man, the popular applause which followed
him was enough to turn a young head; but
he always kept his steady course. I never
saw him in the least inflated by it. He
seemed to shake it off as the lion does the
dew from his mane.”
It is a long period for one to minister
actively sixty years to the same people.
Those who have preached fifty or forty
years can seldom use Caleb’s language,
“As yet I am as strong this day as I was
in the day that Moses sent me. As my
strength was then, even so is my strength
now, both to go out and to come in.” This,
however, with scarce any abatement, was
the case with J-y. The entire term.of his
ministry at Bath covered a period of sixty
three years. That Gospel he had So long
and eloquently preached supported him in
the "trying hour.— Am. Messenger.
APOSTOLIC ELDERS AND DEACONS.
How many goodish men there are who,
in truth, are well-nigh good for nothing'
In negative virtue they are not wanting,
but of aggressive force they have none.
They wish well and speak favorably of all
meritorious undertakings. Their inclina
tions are of a nature to enable them to
abound in every good word, while their
“ easy, go softly,” temperment keeps them
back from every good work. It is a serious
indeed, whether or no such a
grade of nugatory conscience as rules peo
ple of the above-named class deserves to be
respected as wholesomely- Christian ? . .
Our conviction is that we need to have re
vised the apostolic idea of the Eldership
and Diaeonate. They who hold these of
fices are ordained in their spheres to be
helps, aids, assistants, and co-workers with
the angel or bishop of the Church. At pre
sent our Consistorieß are hardly more than
financial boards. Their functions are exercis
ed almost exclusively upon temporal matters.--
Often timid, fearful, and indifferent, they
rule the Church by allowing its affairs to
drift whithersoever the current of worldly
prudence or fashion or ambition may run.
Their administration frequently is feeble,
puposeless, and therefore harmful. Mean
ing well enough, doubtless, they neverthe
less contrive to throw well-nigh all respon
sibility upon the pastor; and the pastor is
too often found ready to take it, and to un
dertake to carry it; which, however, he is
never able to do. Now, we do not believe'
that these evils of administration flow sa
much from want of capacity or of good-will
in the particular members composing a Con
sistory as they do from a hurtful under
valuation of the importance of the
ship and of the Diaeonate, and from a too'
common confusion of the duties pertaining
to these separate offices. ■
Let it be fully, fairly, and distinctly
derstood that the elders are spiritual officers,
colleagues of the pastor, both in teaching
and ruling, and, at once the office is pro
perly magnified to its original rank. Let
the membership of a church be enrolled
into classes, each elder having charge of a
class, as was unquestionably the practice of
the primitive Church Then the elders
will be brought into personal contact with
nearly the entire congregation, and so will
take the oversight of the flock which they
are ordained on purpose to do.
To the deaeons belongs the duty of gath
ering the alms and of y.isiting the poor and,,
needy. They should have their own trea
surer, into whose hands all funds raised for
relief should go. They, moreover, should
understand that the charities of the church
they serve are to be administered under
their supervision and inspection. Thus the
church bestowing its benefactions through
them, would have some assurance that a
proper discrimination would be made in the
work of distribution.
Give the elders and deacons the work to
do which belongs to them, and there will
be qualified men found for these offices,
who will put into operation such a system
of supervision and activity as no pastor,
however diligent, can carry on alone.. As
matters now go, preaching and. hearing
make up together nearly the sum of church
efficiency; while Sabbath-schools, prayer
meetings, Bible-classes, visitations of the
siek, and the work of charity are left to
get on as well as they can.
Our system is Scriptural, apostolic, and
well-nigh perfect in theory; but we-want
this system administered with apostolic
faith, zeal, and purpose, else its value is
gone.— Christian Intelligencer.

DYSPEPSIA and debility
From the venerable Archdeacon Scott, D.D.
Dunham, Canada East. March 21.1865.
* * * “I am an inveterate Dyspeptic of more
than 25 years standing.
* * * ‘‘l have been so wonderfully benefitted in
the three short weeks during which I have used the
Peruvian Syrup, that I can scarcely persuade myself
of the reality. People who have known me are aston
ished at the change. lam widely known, and can but
recommend to others that which has done so much
forme." * *
One of the most Distinguished Jurists in New
England writes to a friend as follows :
I have.tried the Peruvian Syrup, and tbe result
fully sustains your prediction. It has made a new
man of me; infused into my system new vigor and
energy; lam no longer tremulous and debilitated, as
when you last saw me, but stronger, heartier, and
with larger capacity for labor, mental and physical,
than at any time during tbe last five years."
An eminent divine of Boston, says
I have been using the PERUVIAN SYRUP for
some time past; it gives me new vigor, buoyancy of
spirits, elasticity of muscle."
Thousands have been changed, by the use of this
remedy, from weak, sickly, suffering creatures, to
strong, healthy, and happy men and women; and in
valids cannot reasonably hesitate to give it atrial.

SEYMOUR THATCHER, M. D., of Herman, N.
Y„ writes as follows
" Wistaris Balsam of Wild Cherry gives universal
satisfaction. It seems to cure a Cough by loosening
and cleansing the lungs, and allaying irritation, thus
removing the cause ins’teaa of drying up the cough
and.leaving the cause behind. I consider the Balsam
as good as any, if not the besr, Cough medicine with
which I am acquainted.”
The Rev. JACOB SECHLER, of Hanover, Pa., well
known and much respected among the German popu
lation of this country, makes the following statement
for the benefit of the afflicted
Dear Sirs Having realized in my family impor
tant benefits from the use of your valuable prepara
tion—Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry—it affords me
pleasure to recommend it to the public. Some eight
years ago one of my daughters seemed to be in a de
cline. and little hopes of her recovery were enter
tained. I then procured a bottle of your excellent
Balsam, and before she had taken the whole of the
contents of the bottle there was a great improvement
in her health. I have, in my individual case, made
freauent use of your valuable medicine, and have al
ways been benentted by it. JACOB SECHLER.
