ADVICE TO AN INQUIRER MORE THAN
ONE HUNDRED YEARS WO.
From your pleasant letter of November
2d, I am glad to learn of your welfare and
health. which is a special benefit and grace
of God ; for since you left home many a
man, and even many a young man, has
been called into eternity, as might easily
have happened to you Now, who knows
but that this great transition to eternity is
near, at our very door ? Yet we know,
also ; , out of God's Word, which cannot he,
that without regeneration and sanctification
we cannot see the kingdom of God. I hope,
therefore, that you will take this to heart.
and not slight precious grace and the time
thereof. lam glad that you know your
sins a little, and that you will lend- a will
ing ear to the call of grace. But, for all
that, you are not yet a converted man,
although such feeling and your desire is
indeed a grace of God, and a source from
which something better may spring if you
give place to this convincing grace. Of
ourselves we have not a single good thought;
and if we have but one good thought in
sorrow for our state, or longing for God,
we need not imagine that it came to us by
chance; but we should think, the merciful
Gpd and Saviour cometh to thy heart and
Beth thee, that He may save thee as a
brand from the burning of everlasting des
traction. And by the love we have for
our immortal soul we should not let such
precious emotions be stifled through vanity
and careless behavior ; nor should we listen
to Satan when he would make us wise, say
ing that one is still young, that one cannot
live so strictly, that one would be foolish
to think of it, that many a one has thought
to he saved without being so very precise,
that God is gracious and merciful, and
other such cunning suggestions, whereby
men are secretly deceived until their time
of grace is past, and on their death-bed
their eyes are opened and they are filled
with fear and dread. Well; we shall not
act thus,,but to-day, because we hear the
voice of God, we shall abide still and say :
" The night is past: the time to slumber o'er ;
This day salvation cometh to thy door."
And, with the Prodigal Son ; " I will arise
and will go to my Father, and will say unto
Him, Father, I have sinned against heaven
and in thy sight." Read once more,. and
with prayer, the story of the Prodigal Son,
in the fifteenth chapter of Luke, and you
will see how a penitent sinner must come
to God, and how ready the eternal, loving,
Father-heart of God is to receive the poor,
returning, penitent sinner.
What you write is quite true, that when
we fear we are overburdened with many
sins, we cannot draw near to God with free
confidence. But what are we to do ? We
cannot make good our past transgressions :
we cannot make ourselves pious; we need
not fancy we would come if we were only
once pious. That, indeed, by no means:
but we must come just as we are, with all
our sins and corruption, and must cry to
God for the pardon of our many sins, for
the sake of that dear Saviour Jesus, who
for our sins poured out his precious blood,
and endured all the pains of hell, that he
might obtain pardon and grace for penitent
sinners. You must not leave off this con
tinuous prayer for God's grace, for the
sake of Jesus Christ; and the more your
sins press upon you, so much the more
humbly and heartily call upon the blessed
Saviour, and hold before Him his bitter
pains. God will then, at his own time,
certainly have mercy, and send you for
giveness of sins, free confidence, and a new
heart, so that it will be your pleasure to
serve Him, to love Him, and to deny every
thing for his sake. 0, how blessed the
man is who chooses this way, and does not
leave it till ho has found this great good !
Nothing can give me more joy than to see
and hear this of you, and I shall not fail
to pray God for it through his grace. Pray,
also, yourself diligently, and avoid all
hurtful society. The blessed God bath
given grace to your brother Gerret, from
• whom I had a letter last Sunday, and I
hope that every day he will be strengthen
ed and advanced. Your brothers Henry
and William also feel that things must be
changed. May God help you all to break
through, so that God and his children may
through you rejoice, and, after short time
of this woful life, we may find each other
eternally before God's face. Wishing this,
I greet you heartily, my beloved nephew,
and, commending you to God, I remain,
Your affectionate uncle, at your service,
GERHARD TERSTEEGEN.
MIIHLHEIM ON THE RUHR, 9 Nov., 1745.
—Sunday Magazine.
THE IRREPAILABLE PAST.
Time is the solemn inheritance to which
every man who is born is heir—he has a
life-rent of this world—a little section cut
out of eternity and given him to do his
work in; an eternity before, au eternity
behind; and the small stream between,
floating swiftly from the one into the vast
bosom of the other. The man who has
felt with all his soul the significance of
time, will not be long in learning every
lesson this world has to teach him. Have
you ever felt it ? Have you ever realized
how your own little
you
is gliding
away and bearing you along with it toward
that awful other world, of which all things
here are but the thin shadows, down into
that eternity toward which the -confused
wreck of all things earthly is bound ? Let
us realize that until cessation of time, and
the infinite meaning which is wrapped up
in it, has taken possession of our souls,
there is no chance .ot our ever feeling
strongly that it is worse than madness to
sleep time away. Every day in this world
has its work; and every day, as it rises out
of eternity, keeps putting to each of us
the question afresh, what, will you do be
fore to-day has sunk intU,eternity, and'no
thing rises again? And now what have
we to say with respect to this solemn thing
—time ? That men do with it through life
just what the Apostle did for one pseeious
and irreparable hour of it in the garden of
Gethsemane,; they go to sleep.
Have you ever seen those marble statues
in some public square or garden, which art
has so finished with a perennial fountain,
that through the lips, or through the
hands, the clear water flows in a perpetual
stream, on, on, on forever ; and the marble
stands there—passive, cold, making no
effort to arrest the gliding water ? It is so
that time flows through the hands of men,
swift, never pausing till it has run itself
out; and there is the man, petrified into a
marble sleep, not feeling what it is which
is passing away forever.
It is so, just so, that the destiny of nine
men out of ten accomplishes itself, slipping
away from them, aimless, useless, till it is
too late. And we are asked, with all the
solemn thoughts which crowd around an
approaching eternity, what has been our
life, and. what do we intend it shall be?
Yesterday, last week, last year—they are
gone. Yesterday, for example, was such a
day as never was before, and never can be
again. Out of darkness and eternity it
was born, a new, fresh day; into darkness
and eternity it sank again forever. It bad
a voice calling to us, of its own ; its own
work, its own duties—what were we doing
yesterday ? Idling, whiling away the time
in idleness and luxurious literature, not as
life's relaxation, but as life's business ;
thrilling our heart with the excitement of
life; continuing now to spend the day most
pleasantly—was that our duty? Sleep,
brethren; all that is but sleep. And now
let us remember this: there is a day coming
when that sleep will be rudely broken, with.
a shock ; there is a day in our future lives
when our time will be counted, not by
years nor by months, nor yet by hours, but
by minutes—the day when unmistakable
symptoms shall announce that the messen
gers of death have come to take us.
The startling m,oment will come, which
it is vain to attempt to realize now, when it
will be felt that it is all over at last- 7 that
our chances, our trials are past. The
moment that we have tried to think of,
shrunk from, put away from us, here it is
—going too, like all other moments that
have gone before it; and then with eyes
unsealed at last, you look back on the life
that is gone by. There is no mistake
about it; there it is, a most palpable sleep,
self-indulged unconsciousness of single des
tinies, and God, and Christ; asleep when
Christ was calling out to you to watch
Him one hour; asleep when there was
something to be done; a sleep broken, it
may be, once or twice by restless dreams,
and by a voice of truth which would make
itself heard at times, but still a sleep which
was only rocked into deeper stillness by
interruptions. And now from the undone
eternity, the boom of whose waves is dis
tinctly audible upon your soul, there comes
the serene voice again—a solemn, sad voice
—but no longer the same word " watch ;"
other words altogether, " You may go to
sleep." It is too late to awake; there is
no science in earth or heaven to recall
time that has once fled.—F. W. Robertson.
THE NARROW CHURCH.
Opposed to the Broad Church is what
we may call the Narrow Church. These
two repel each other, and each drives the
other away farther from the centre. The
Broad Church becomes broader and lighter
as it is blown away from the Narrow
Church, and the Narrow Church becomes
more shrunk and shriveled out of a terror
of being caught in the folds of the Broad
Church. The fault of the Narrow Church
consists essentially in its being incapable of
comprehending the great breadth, or ap
preciating the full love of the religion of
Jesus Christ. This may sometimes arise
merely from its partisans having received
little or no liberal education to expand
their minds; and at other times, from their
being beset with a narrowness of intellect;
in such cases we can excuse the persons
—unless, indeed, they become what they
are often tempted to be, censorious of
others who can take a wider and more
loving view than they. But it springs,
most commonly, not from mere unfavorable
circumstances, or a defect of natural gift,
but from the culpable narrowness of heart,
which will not allow itself to be enlarged
by the full influence of Christian love.
That man belongs to the Narrow Church,
and deserves to be called an exclusive
churchman to whatever sect he may be
attached; who looks upon the Church as
consisting only of those who bear office in
it, such as ministers and presbyters, mem
bers of ecclesiastical courts, ministers,
elders and deacons The Church invisible
consists of all who believe in Christ and
are united to Him. The Church visible
consists of all who profess their faith in
Christ and live consistently with their pro
fessions, in the use of the sacraments and
the other ordinances of God's appointment.
All of these have high privileges secured
to them, and have important duties to dis
charge. It certainly does not prove any
one to belong to the Narrow Church that
he loves his own denomination, that he
strives to advance its interests by his own
contributions, his exertions, and his pray
ers, and to have its sphere of usefulness
widened for good. But he is a member ot
the Narrow Church, with whatever sect,
large or small, he may be connected, when
he looks on his own denomination as con
stituting the Church of God; when he
unchurces all other churches; nay, when
he refuses to acknowledge that there are
other sheep who are not of his fold; when
he shuts himself up within the narrow pre
cincts of his own communion, and declines
to look on the things of others to Re if
there be anything good or imitable in
them; when he prays for no other body
of Christians than his own ; nay, when he
neglects to read about the missionary exer
tions at home and abroad, of other religious
organilations seeking to Christianize the
world. "I believe in the Holy Catholic
Church" in a nobler amp than the adher
ents of the Church of Rome do. " I be
lieve in the communion of saints," in the
universal communion of saints on earth, as
well as of saints in heaven. A Christian
cut off from the communion (I mean here
,outward communion) of the Church, is
not, as every one knows, in a favorable po
sition for advancing in the Christian life,
for growing in love. I believe that, in
like manner, a Church cut off from the.
communion of the Churches ot Christ, is
in an equally unfavorable position. It is
like a pool out off from living streams; apt
to become dead and stagnant; mantled all
over with green envy and black prejudice.
, This Christian Church, like the Christian
man should be like a lake receiving fresh

streams above, and giving them ont from

—Dr. James McCosh.
Martin Boos was one of those rare priests
found in the Romish Church, who have a
clear evangelical faith, and who labor with
the whole heart to build up Christ's king
dom, rather than the Romish hierarchy.
The Montreal Evangelist gives the follow
ing account of his conversion :
In 1788 or 1789, says Martin Boos, I
visited a sick woman who was distinguished
for deep humility and exemplary piety.
"You shall die in great peace, shall you
not ?" I said to her.
" Why ?" asked she.
" You have led such a pious, such a vir
tuous life," I replied.
" Ah," she said, with a sweet smile, " if
I trusted in my piety, I would deserve no
thing but hell. No, no; I rest only on
Jesus, my Saviour."
Then looking at me with surprise, she
added, " What kind of a priest are you ?
What, consolations do you give me? How
could I stand for a moment before the
judgment seat of God, where every one
shall give an account even of his idle
words, if Christ was not my rock ? I would
certainly be lost if I looked to myself, to
my merits, for the blessedness of heaven.
What man is there who is pure in the eyes
of the Eternal ? Which of our actions, of
our virtues, would be of the necessary
weight, if He should weigh in the balance ?
No, if Christ had not died for me, if He
had not satisfied the justice of God and
paid my debts, all my good works would,
not save me from endless wrath. He, He
alone is my hope, my salvation, and my
joy."
These words, coming from the mouth of
a woman in great reputation for holiness,
were as a bright light shining into the eyes
of Martin Boos. From that time he re
ceived Christ as his perfect righteousness,
and found peace and the joy of salvation.
From that time also he had to endure all
kinds of persecution; his preaching, im
pressed with the wholesome doctrines of
the Gospel, could not fail to stir up against
him violent enemies. To preach free sal
vation, a salvation given by God, and which
man can and ought to receive only as a
gift, as merely an alms—to preach such a
doctrine in a Church which, while it pre
serves the name of Christ puts in His place
human works as the means of redemption,
was it not to undermine the foundation of
that Church and to expose one's self to her
severest punishments ? However, Boos
once settled on the sure foundation, re
remained there; the Lord kept him on it,
and enabled him to suffer with joy for His
name.
I PLEASANT EPISODE 'IN THE AN
DOVER ANNIVERSARY.
One of the interesting events of the late
meeting of the Andover Alumni, in con
nection with anniversary exercises of the
Seminary, was the opening of Brechin
Hall, the new Library building, erected by
the munificence of three Sootchmen, now
residents of Andover, and so named from
the Scotch home of their youth. Prof.
MeCosh, who has been making the tour of
the New England Commencements, was
present, and, of course, owed it to Scotland,
as well as himself, to obey the call for - a
speech. He stated that he himself, in early
life, was pastor of the little churoh in Bre
chin, Scotland, where these three men
originated, though they came to this coun
try before his settlement there. He him
self knew nothing of them as donors to the
library until he came to Andover to attend
these anniversaries, where the whole train
of coincidences was developed. He related
another interesting fact in this connection.
While he was pastor in Brechin, there was
an outlying district, where the people were
poor, and had no school. He himself la
bored to raise the funds and establish a
school among this neglected population, but
the work was not done until after he left
the place. After he had gone away, he
heard that three Scotchmen, who had emi
grated to America from Brechin, had sent,
back funds to erect a house, and establish
the school, but he knew not who these
three men were until he met them here in
Andover. It appears, also, that in honor
of the place from,which the money came,
the hill where the school stands inßrechin,
is called Andover Hill. These men came
to this country many years ago, poor, and
began life in an humble way. But like
many other thrifty and earnest Scotehmen,
bringing with them the religious principles
of their fathers, they have achieved success,
and now rejoice in the power ,to bless with
their gifts their native land and the land of
their adoption.
The Congregationalist says that the
speech of Dr. McCosh, on this occasion,
was eminently felicitous sill inspiring,
moving the audience to smil?s and tears.
He amused his hearers by proposing that
the Andover students should undertake to
pronounce the word Brechin,iland intimated
to the donors that they should not let their'
have the building until they could pro
nounce that word aright. It is not Brekin,
nor Breechin, but has the G'erman sound of
eh, in which the k is submerged in a soft
guttural.
