MATTHIAS W. BALDWIN.

paeity for His Giusti, MiiiiikAs W. BALT:I'-
WIN. On FridaY'oflait iveek, the 7th inst.
after a rapid and' painifutilifiess, he took his
departure from the scene of his
.many and
honorable labors and services here, to higher
duty and to better rewar4s above.
Mr. Baldwin has been in so Many ways
identified with business, with practical
science, with railroad machinery in its
Sate onward strides of improvement with
the fine arts and the public charities
.
Philadelphia; his name and his suppot
have been so. inwoven with the prosperity
of our denomination in this city,
.that ce
despair of
• !king justice to his memory in
the limits - of a• newspaper article. For
thirty years past he has been prominent in
almost all of these relations.
As a machinist, he, is remarkable for a
career commencing in, the humble begin T
sing of an obscure jeweller's shop, and
landing him at the very height of the mos_
difficult, important and extensive of all
branches,. locomotive building. • Frani a
mall shop of which hi was, we believe,
the sole occupant; 'he Warne the *head
an establishment employing one tlidusand
hands. From the construction 'of a toy
locomotive, which thirty or more years ago
ran upon a miniature railroad in a pleasure
garden, he be9aiAe the,,hipder pf ponderctus
engines, whose nighty, trisad : has ;,made the
soil of three continents.tremblei And;not
a whit less conscientious- that' ..skilful :his
work has everywhere given .the highest
satisfaction' for the important 'purposes for
which it was designed.*
Connected so closely with the interests
of labor and the laboring classes, Mr. Bald-,
Nrin has ever taken the Christian view of
this great subject. '' wealth never cor
rupted his simple tastes or his dear views
and upright judgments upon the rights . ot
man. He never despised labor, but had
his own tools and work-bench to the last.
He was an ardent advocate of emancipation
long years before it came, and an unswerv
ing, friend of the colored race. None en
tered more fervently into the merits of the
late struggle, or more unqualifiedly com
mitted himself to the great issues at stake:
To be called a radical, would not have
given the slightest twinge to the most sen
sitive of his nerves. He was ready for :the
most advanced measures, of the loyal party
long before they were,adopted as such.
One of his last public acts was to preside
at a meeting for the public reception of the
brave Robert Small, who carried 'away the
little steamer Planter so heroically' from
Charleston Harbor during the war. He
.
took a deep interest in his story
, and intro-
dneed him as " one worthy to be made an
Admiral." In the days, when Mr. Barnes
plead almost alone for the slave,. one mem
ber of his congregation• was sure to uphold
and sympathise with..him—it was Mrl
Baldwin,
Benevolence amounting to mnnificence;
was a prevailing 'oharaoteriStic of Mr.
Baldwin's nature. The witnesses to this
trait are at least as numerous as those .. to
his mechanical skill. If he was the, prince
of Philadelphia machinists, he was the
prince of Philadelphia givers. There is,
perhaps, not a deserving charity of a' City,
State, or National character .that has not
reaped largely of 'his -beneficence. In our
On Church, especially in this city, he has
long been looked up to, as carrying 'the
tallest purse with the most open hand. He
has been the' grand example . to all our
wealthy men of how, to give.. He has
stirred up, we believe, a noble interest and
emulation in the Gospel grace of giving.
There has been no enterprise in, need, no
church sinking ;under a load of indebted-

horse power, constructed by Mr., Baldwin's

DO; MINISTERS : PREACH FOR PAT T
On the part of 'those Who' , regard the
Christi . = ministry as' an indispensable pro-
Vision for' the Church, there is generally
o question that the men who are called o f
God and set apart to this servibe have
,` an
honest claim to compensation , for servie•
done. Among Christian people, whatever
exception is taken to this view of the ease,
comes from societies who make no aecoun
, of studious preparationier ministerial duties,
and• who do riot expect.ministers to isolate
theroselves from secular employments as-a
means of living. The SOciety of 'Friends,
for example—a p eo p le who have many
.
points of sterling worth--more unfortu
nately for themselves than for any one else,
sriginated the epithet of " hireling priests,"
meaning by it to scandalize: the receivin: .
of worldly compensation in ..,'return-.for
preaching the - Gospel. We say unfortu
nately for theriaselves, for lie think the
history of ' their' Sbaiety proves' it. Some
of their own writers, searching 'the eariseS
sex the decline of QuakerisM, find one =Tie

eircumetanoes of. Christianity, there is, no

to take up With the minimum Hof worldly
,:tipport to be the mark of, the trnest- holi
ness, have found themselves forced inp
the march of improvement. To save their
enotninations; to save even the youth ;c,
heir own families to their 'own churches,
they have been compelled to' abandon the
sractice 'of lifting a "'man in one day from

The Apostle -Paul, in his epistles, has
,limes referred to the - reciprocal
olefins of , ministers and those to whom' they
inister—the spiritual 'service due' from
he foriner, and the 'temporal support' no
less due from the latter'. ' This temporal
support he claimed as his tight. He :men
tions one occasion on which he waived this
right. He did not relinquish the point that
it was his fair due, _but, for the special rek

NILLADELPHIA AND THE SOUTHERN
Almost as 'after one of the great victo
'es of the war, was Philadelphia last week
dressed up in flags and smiles and over
' nning witlC'enthisiasm. Happy in an
act of fraternal sympathy toward persecnt
-a. and deseriing men, our people were
equally inspired with a deep sense of the
.01enin justice of their cause, with burning
'indignation at the efforts of false and
Aced men in power to crush them, and
confidence in the speedy and complete
,1 of the right. Scarcely any point

an aot of homage to Patriotism where pa
triotism had cost something; a solemn
t iled& of fidelity to men whom the Presi-

enction -of the popular heart from the
..urders of Memphis and New Orleans_
It was the opening notes of that grand
Chorus of Niiithern sentiment, that, like
the voice of many waters, and like mighty
thunders, will roll and echo from State to
State, i nntil the most stubborn adders shall
hear .c.ecl be convinced of its unalterable
tone and its invincible might.

ronage, the loyal men, of both sections
..hite and * black, whose cause has just
triumphed: in battle.
Philadelphia lOoked on coldly, and ab
stained from all official demonstration, when
the guilty author of this retrogressive reve
-1 ration passed through her streets. In each
of these oases she acted with a cold pro
triety, far more significant than any violent
or revengeful demonstration could have
been. But she showed plainly that her
heart was not with the caupe represented
'n these demonstrations. Coming as they
did just before the Loyalists' Convention,
they furnished the best possible illustra
tion, by contrast, of the true sympathies of
our People.
Having escaped from an atmosphere of
constraint' and repression, with so much
the • more enthusiasm they bounded forth
to greet those who, as personal sufferers
.nd as worthy representatives of the loyal
cause, had their hearts; and mayor and
&Tamils and wards, and leagues and clubs,
:7':d societies and fire oompanies, and my
lids of citizensi crowded unparalleled
I onora on their heads.
'By this marked difference in the attitude
of our potiple, one sentiment was meant to
•e expressed, perhaps, more than any
thqr, namely that , loyalty to government
ia prime qualification for , participating in
a government or. for receiving its favor,
and that nothing can be more monstrous
4= for impenitent, malignant and con
quered rebels to be put in greater power
;ver loyal' men even than they held before
the rebellion. This is the sentiment which
we *neve to prevail all over the loyal
North. This is the plain, self-evident
th . which we believe is so firmly fixed in
the minds of the people, that no amount of
:ophistry or of corruption through official
atronage can dim its clearness, or weakenr
force. The•issue is too plain to be con
used, too , manifestly vital to the national
onhr 'and safety to fail in the 'pending
'eOntest. And one of its legitimate 'results
t iiit be ':eiVial-sitfriage to ihO &admen.
