BiS'ffitauftaLs. THE BROTHERS D4VID AND JOHN BRAINERD, April 9, 1846, David Brainerd [reduced by cough and hemorrhages, leaving his be loved Indians, and returning to New Eng land to die] appears to have occupied him self in the Presbytery of New York, then holding its sessions in Newark. He spent also the forenoon of the 10th in Presbyte rial business; and, in the afternoon of that day returning to Elizabethtown, he says: "I found my brother John there. Spent some time in conversation with him ; was exceedingly weak and out-done." The meeting and conversation of these brothers must, in truth, strike the reader as deeply solemn—almost sublime. The elder had been an exile for Christ among savages, dwelt in a forest hovel., pillowed his head on the hard ground, fed often on parched corn, been lost sometimes in the wilderness, sometimes maligned 'and slan &red by the enemies of God and man. He had toiled and suffered until- thv'ener gies of nature itself failed, and he was sinking to an early graver The younger brother, twenty-seven years of age, of good family, easy circumstances, and finished education, had been " sent for ;" and, with a wonderful abnegation of self and the world, with a martyr-love, to Christ and unwavering submission to duty, he bad come to assume the 'labors which had crushed an elder brother. " The Correspondents," says President Edwards, " had sent for' John to take David's place." What a- cool, matter-of fact mode of summoning a moral martyr to leave home, kindred• and comfort, and bury himself among the Indians in the wilderness ! They pay •here a noble tribute to the piety and philanthropy of John Brainerd. They say, substantially, that. he only needed a call or duty to any work., however obscure, difficult, and perilous, and he would say, as he did say, " Here am I." May Ibe permitted to suggest here that, in thus promptly responding , to the call of duty, young Brainerd exhibited the true spirit of a gospel ministry ? din the Roman Church, and in some Protes tant denominations, young men are sent to their fields of labor , by authority.,. One element of the power, by which„Loyola almost, subdued the world to the .Papal yoke was found , in the fact that he the authority by Which he could "`say to this man, Go, and he goeth." He' could : distribute talent, learning; physicill" and ..moral energy, where they would moat tell for the glory and enlargement of the Church. The Episcopal Methodist Church, yin its annual assignment of men to fields of labor, has had the benefit of the same authority, and used it with great efficacy for noble purposes. The - Presbyterian and Congregational policy has been different. It has limited the authority and responsibility of the Church as a governing body over its min istry, and implied a higher confidence in the individual, while •it imposed greater personal, obligations to learn and follow duty.. In our religious economy we have hon eyed our ministers by assuming for them such a baptism of the Spirit of Christ as would lead them to all diligence in-ascer taining their'personal duty, and all needful self-denial and fidelity in performing 'it. We have assumed that the love of ease, comfort, popularity, wealth, and high lite rary and social advantages, beano controll ing place in the purposes and determina tions of men who have professedly conse crated their all to the service of God. Hence we have no outward directions or constraint; no episcopal authority to dis tribute the talent, learning, and piety of the Ministry where it will be most effective. Our system is not like a vast machine moved by'some central 'apririg Of mighty energy contrdl'ng its entire 'action. It finds ate ter illuctration in the movements of the orbs of heaven; where each plane, turns on its own axis and wheelsin its own orbit by an inherent impulse imparted by the finger of God. In short, the Church assumes that her youthful sons, , fresh from their sacred studies, with burnished intel lects, with sanctified hearts, with manly courage noble fortitude, and holy zeal, will not selfishly, and coldly stipulate for emi nent places, po.itions, and emoluments; will not hang idly around cities and setni naries, waiting for eligible 'churches; will not, in ambitions scholarship and social-ex quisiteness, imagine themselves' too pre cious to be thrown away tici• quiet towns among plain people. It is to be feared that the sons of the Church have often lacked those high en dowmenta of the Holy Spirit which would have fitted them to select their appropriate field and work. ' Some secular motive, some vision of worldly advantage, some ebinPro raise "with conscience, _his' .with links of iron belds-them.back Flinn' rugged fields, 'but fieldi to which they were adapted, and' in whiehlhey might have reaped glorious harvests. The..world owes sa special obli gation to the pioneer husbandman, who makes the desert blossom. The harder the soil. and. the ,more abun dant the weeds, the briars i and the, thorns, the more needful the spade, the plough, ' and the strong hand of the laborer; and the more beautiful, by contrast, the waiv ing grain over hill "arid Valley. - We once introduced a young minister to a missionary congregation in the suburbs of a great city. The people were highly pleased with him, and invited him to settle, among them. He came to consult me on the subject. As be was unmarril d man, he regarded the salary as... adequate. He had no fault to find with the number, the attendance, the attention and interest, of the congregation. I urged Min to give an af f irmative answer. He hesitated. "Jam afraid," said he, " it is sot the likce for me to develop myself,"—alloditig to the plainness of the people. I replied ; " It ;an excellent place to develop the gospel of e Lord &sus Christ, bat I know Oat whether it is the place for you to clevehlP ' ratersef I" Ho left the field, and has since "devel oped himself" by giving up the ministry " He that exalteth himself Shall be abased." The little congregation Under the patient labors of purer and betlef men, has also " developed itself" into one of the most numerous, intelligent, affluent churches in the land. Are there not other young min isters corroding in idleness, rejecting - diffi cult fields, and waiting for a place to "'de velop themselves"? Exactly the opposite of this - ,seems Ito have been the spirit of John Erainerd. , He knew all that his dying brother had suffered in his hard field, but still volunteered, in the true spirit of a. martyr, to tAlre,o that brother's place. David's whole recor&of their interview, at this period is the',fol-' lowing :--- " April 10.—Pound t iny brother John there, and sPiiiit some time in coniaisatioa, with bilk. April' 11..Assiet'ed In exaib-- iuirig my by the 'New Yalt`Pies b*iy, for lieensure. April 14.--This'daY my:brother went to my people." • ' We doubt whether an Interview, stirring , snoh thoughts, involving such heart-yearn ings, ever had a record more brief. Its brevity is suggestive. To the brothers, duty was everything; themselves, nothing. They met as soldiers meet on the battle-field. One who had fought in the front rank, long, brivelY, and triumphantly, had Men wounded, and was returning home -to die. The oiother, still fresh, strong, hopeful, and urged by a spirit as daring and a fortitude as enduring, stood ready to take his dying brother's sword and shield, to fight in the same conflict, or, fall, as God should ordain. Their inter view may , remind the reader of a scene at the battle of Marengo. Desaix, , one of Napoleon's bravest and most Ousted gene rals, had been mortally. wounded, and lay dying on the plain. Napoleon, pressing the retreating Austrians, paused by the side of his fellow-officer, whn , was-etpiringyi and said that he was sorry , 'he "could not stay longer to , weep for him.- "I am sorry.'' said Desaix, " that 1. , have but one life to give for the glory of France" The servants °Ca ; nobler Master, and,en gaged with a spirit ,as heroie In, a better cause, the brothers at Newark ,and Eliza bethtown, held a similar interview The one mast leave his dying brother, rem the field of duty; the other was kekietting weakness, pain,* and approaching-''death, only as they cut 'short his pious labors:' Dr.. T: , Brainerd's Life of. John. Brainerd. OUR LORD'S .GLORIFIED HUMANITY. BY REY. W. WHITE, HADDLEHTON., ; . • a ‘‘ . t • The last, book of ScriPture is kyle rally, " The y Book of the unveiling of Jesus Christ." "lOur life is hid. with Christ in God?' Christ is 'within the veil. We know not, and cannot know, by our own unaided faculties, what He is doing. This book, , dhowever, rolls back the curtain of in visibility as far, probably, as it 'can be drawn to mortals. By means of a symboli cal vision, in the first chapter, we have :a representation of our Lord'a glorified per son. In the sUbsequent, chaptere we ale shown his stately steps of majesty ; the great acts - of his niediatorial . doininion ; wonderful works otmercy and of jitdgment which;sfrom kis throne in heaven, he is to 'accomplish on ~earth, up till 'that- period when, he shall again , revisit our planet,: .when he shall " come with clouds, and every, eye shall see ,Him, and they also which pierced him, - and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him." The book bears on every page of it the broadest, brightest, mqs resplendent stamps of divinity. It:is, to speak of it as a merely human work, to say that it is one grand rolling swell of sublimity. No, it is o 4 grand onntinuous suocesSion of voices from heaven—like the roll of thunder—like th‘ noise of many ,waters" as the voiceiof the Almighty, the voice of.speech, the,noise df an host.' The last hook of Scripture, thickly is it sown with allusions to ,all the previous parts of ,the Hwly Oracles, that it reflects from its marvellous pages the , glory of the whole : it not merely reflects them, it adds riew lustre to the whole; it trans - figures the' Old Testament, making" it all new—causing " its face'to shine as the sun, and its raiment to glister as the 'fight,"+ converting it all into a prophecy of the conflicts and conquests, the sufferings and glory of the New , Testament church. To John, the beloved disciple, was this revelation given. As the calm and tran quil water reflects from its pure depths the great lights of heaven, so John's calm, pure,iquid soul was a fit mirror to reflect those figurative, symbolical lights which the Lord bath hung out in the fir inament of this `book, to guide' and 'Cheer his Church during the night of his ab sence. ' t The glorious' dreamer . got his visions in the prison; and in exile .John, got his vision of a still:more gloriouti march ing of the Church through the wilderness, with the Lord at , its head. "I John, who am also your brother and companion in . iribUlationaed in the kingdom tt3' d paticrief of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called' Patmos, for the word' 4 ot, God, and tbi'the of Jestig Christ.' th where we'may, if we are there for 'Christ, we may .be there with . Christ; Ohriat will beithere !With us; and his preseneeilinre turn every .Patmos into the gate—the opened gate—of heaven. It is also' worthy' of obseriation When he got this book: "I was in the Spirit'on the Lord's day." On the Lord's'- day-h-the 'birthday of the first-begotten from the dead —the day which was the beginning of the new creation of God., In solitude—in - desert isle t ; where no Sabbath , law was known—where, probably, the foot of a Sabl bath observer, frem the dawo.of time, never once had trodden—without a civil law; without a chrirch law, John in Patmos was a Sabbath law unto himself. Instinctivily, he celebrates the Lord's day. To describe the stitength of the- law of honor in some one's bosoin, the pea said : " H.is eye, even turned on empty space, bad beam. d w•th honor." And does it not show the sublime and glorious streneth ofthe Lord's day principle in John's bosom, when he kept the Sabbath in the. isle of PPatmos , This example of tbet instinctive, living; 0, ontrolling power of Sabbath , observance' apostle; , who„in the east of, his roind d w oo-far removed from Aferemenialiml? soy mere men who ever lived, is worth,a t boo KN O oar•jo i adsof earer* .j t v,, E4 , ol * manning - the tord's day to be oi)afirvsd.lt shows that the Sabbath law was written on THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN,_ tatti*FiAktli Uria 1W- 4866. the hearts of the apostles, and was a par of apostolic life as much as living by faith We are also told how John kept the Sab bath: "I was in the . Spirit on the Lord's day." The Holy Spirit dwells with, and is in, believare ; but John was in the Spirit. Ilia ,sense-life was hushed. His speeulative reason had foldedits wings, and was at Test, and was•still. In holy, silence he listen'ed to the still sniall•voiee of God, 'and the spiritual life within him gathered UP its powers and "passed'otitin spoitane.! ous action, and gave itself untotlie pretty t inge and suggestions of the Sp irit of God) He lived in the SPirit, and walked in the .

John h ,I they frequently conversed on the subject heard the voice' of God man in his hembl d of' religion, the servant, Harry; venturing condition; and of all who heard him \ spe , - at times to remonstrate with his 'limiter on earth, his voice had penetrated furthe t against his infidelity .: As the judge had into John's bosom.
