WHY GOD PERMITTED SIN,
; 7 - , lne little time ago, after the conclusion
o f Brownlow North's addresses in Edin
hur:.:l-., Scotland, a young man came into
t h e room where he was receiving persons
a nxious for private conversation, and said
to him
:
I have heard you preach three times,
and I neither care for you nor your
preachin,,v , unless you can tell me . why God
permitted sin."
‘, I will do that with pleasure," was the
immediate reply; " because He chose to."
The young man, apparently taken by
e urprise, stood speechless; and Mr. North
a y,ain repeated, "Because he chose to; and,"
at ided. he, " if you continue to question and
cavil at God's dealings, and, vainly puffed
up h your carnal mind, strive to be wise
a bove what is written, I will tell you some
-614.4 more that God will do—He 'will some
g a r Put you into hell-fire. It is vain for
jog to strive with your Maker—you cannot
t esi.:.t Him; and neither your opinions of
Hi ; dealings, nor your blasphemous expres-
E im. of them, will in the least lessen the
pa i, ; e t your everlasting damnation, which
tell you, will most certainly be your
vortical, if you go on in your present spirit.
r i m were such questioners as you in St.
time, and how did the Apostle an
i:Fir them ? c Nay but, 0 man, who art
that repliest against God ?'"
young man here interrupted Mr.
and said : "Is there such a text as
Cf.r in the Bible ?"
there is," was the reply, "in the
ciLt:: chapter of Romans ; and I recommend
Yo home and read that chapter, and
you have read it, and see there how
c:aims for himself the right to do what,-
cvc; He chooses, without permitting the
formed to say to Him that formed it,
tli;y East thou made me thus? remember
( h a . lA:Ades permitting sib, there is another
thl:i2 God has chosen, to do—God chose to
Jesus!
Of his own tree and sovereign
•rn,—, God gave his only-begotten Son to
;or sinners, in their stead, in their
so that, though they are sinners,
as i have done things worthy of death, not
ca of them shall ever be cast into hell for
Ili', sins who will accept Jesus as his only
S.:I - Jour, and believe in Him, and rest in His
word. I have no time to say more to you
now ; others are waiting to see me. Go
home; attend to what I have told you, and
may God the Holy Spirit bless it, for Jesus
Christ's sake."
This conversation took place on Sunday
evening. On the following Friday, Mr.
North was sitting in a friend's drawing
room, (the Rev. Moodie Stuart's,) when
the servant announced that a young man
anted to speak to him. On being shown
up stairs he said :
".Do you remember me ?"
' D..) you not remember the young man
who. un Sunday night, asked you to tell
him. • Why did God permit sin ?' "
Ves perfectly!'
-
Well sir, I am that young man, and
yep -aid God permitted sin because He
ecse it; and you told me to go home and
read the ninth chapter of Romans; and
ai,e, that God chose to send Jesus to die for
sueli sinners as I am; and I did; sir, what
you told me ; and afterward I fell down
at God's feet and asked Him to for , ive my
sin-, he cause Jesus died for me, and give
me His Spirit to put all wicked thoughts
out of my head, and He did ; and now I ain
hal•P;i, 0, so happy, sir ; and though the
devii still comes sometimes to tempt me,
what reason I have to think God has for-
Eiven me, I have always managed to get I
'him away by telling him that I do not want
to judge things by my own reason, but by
God's word; and that the only way I kno,
I am forgiven is that, for Christ's sake, God
chose to pardon one."
The changed eipression of the young
man's countenance waskuite sufficient to ac
count for Mr. North's not knowing him
again. It was radiant with joy and peace.
Dear reader, the first lesson a poor sin
ner has to learn is, to " trust in the Lord
with all his heart, and not to his own un
derstanding ;" to trust God not only for
what is explained, but for what is not ex
plained. This is faith; and such faith
honors God, and saves the soul. This is
receiving the kingdom of God as a little
child, who always believes that " things
must be right, if father says them, and
father does them;" and let us ever remem
ber that it is written (and the Scripture
cannot be broken), that unless "we receive
the kingdom of God as little children, we
shall in no wise enter therein."—Montreal
Evangelist.
RITUALISM.
The cause of God on the earth goes for
ward very much after the manner of a ship
niovinc , against a head wind—tacking this
way and that, and using the opposing force
to effect its progress. The Church - to-day
is the resultant of manifold conflictinioin
frences, acting all along the ages of the
past—many of them, in their nature, hostile
and destructive, but under the superin
tendence of God, made, in spite of them
selves, to bear their part in the development
of a fuller and better Christianity.
Just now, even in the so-called Protest
ant world, we see, on the one hand, a vio
lent tendency in many quarters toward a
1 0W and barren rationalisth, and on the
other, a strange outcropping of high
wrought and gorgeous ritualism—both alike
foreign to simple Christianity, as set forth
the New Testament. In England, this
ritualistic movement seems to be going for
ward with a kind of furor; and though the
Episcopal Church in this country is kept
tnore discreet and sober by its contact with
a predominant Protestantism of a manlier
and healthier type, yet even here, it is not
difficult, in many quarters, to see the sights
and here the sounds of this mere ritualistic
pietism. It is a peculiar state of mind that
ont is iu when he comes strongly under
this influence. His thoughts are intently
occupied on curious subjects. To him, a
Plain Christian, who goes directly to the
Now Testament for his religious instruction,
rtle better than a " heathen man and a
Publican." Why, he knows nothing about
41,, and chasuble, surplice and crosier,
chalice and lecturn—he cannot tell the
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 4, 1866.
saints' days, or follow the solemn proces
sion of the Christian year
This rage for forms and decorations, this
sacred care for multiplied observances,
utterly unknown in the'New Testament, is
not, as we have said, so rife among us as in
the old world; but unless we study the
signs of the times amiss, quite a portion of
the Episcopal Church in America has been
moving of late in this direction with great
rapidity. It is not difficult in some of the
Episcopal papers, to discover this growing
zeal for rituals. Its advocates and devotees
are full of courage, and are already flushed
with hopes of speedy and extensive con
quests for what they call the true Church.
And ,it is not to be denied that some of our
own ministers grow timid, and are afraid,
lest our style of Christian worship is too
simple and severe.
For our own part, we have little sympa
thy with any such feeling. We re g ard all
this as a mere episode in the development
of a Church of Christ in a sinful world— .
something springing from human weakness
—no better and no worse than a thousand
follies that have preceded it. The New-
Testament is the hand-book of apiritual
Christianity, and this gorgeous displa y finds
not a particle of support among the inspired
evangelists and apostles, and'this should be
enough for us. Let us "earnestly contend
fbr the faith once delivered to the saints."
Let us see to it " that we henceforth be no
more children, tossed to and fro, arid carried
about with every wind of doctrine by the
sleight of men." Planting ourselves upon
the simple word of God, there let us stand,
with confidence in its author, and with cour
age for the future, whatever untoward thing
there may be in the present. Let us heed
what Paul says to the "foolish Galatians,"
when he saw them departing from the sim
plicities of the Christian faith, and rushing
back into the forms and usages of the cere
monial worship : " How turn ye again to
the weak and beggarly elenients whereunto
ye desire again to be in bondage ? Ye ob
serve days, and months, and times, and
years. lam afraid of you, lest I have be
stowed upon you labor in vain."
No wonder, in thil sinful world, that
crowds are ever ready to run after these
religious novelties. It is so much easier to
be formal than to be holy; so much easier
to be washed outwardly in the baptismal
font than to undergo " the washing of re
generation. and renewing of the Holy
Ghost ;" so much more.convenient for men
to commit the care of their souls , .to some
great religious corporation, which will see
to it that everything is properly attended
to, than it is " to do justly, love mercy, and
walk humbly with God,"—that we need not
be surprised when we see many rushing to
these decorated altars for such relief as will
leave them personally free to follow the
pleasures and fiishions of this world. The
sight is sad and humiliating. But God has
looked from heaven upon this and similar
folly in all ages of his Church, and yet has
promised " that the gates of hell shall not
prevail against her."— Congregationalist.
BEING A TRUSTEE,
" Mr. Smith, I called to see if you would
serve as a trustee of our institution," etc.
" Trustee ! my dear sir, I have already
as much as I can do. You know how much
has come upon me since the death of Mr.
Blank, and I was just looking about for
help, not to undertake anything more."
"O I we do not want your time or ser
vice; it need not give you any trouble.
Only your name and au hour at the annual
meeting."
" Trustee I let me see," and I turned to
the dictionary and read thus :
" TRUSTEE. A person to whom property
is legally committed in trust, to be applied
either for the benefit of specified indi
viduals or for public uses. One who is
intrusted with property for the benefit of
others."
" TRUST. Assured resting of the mind
on the integrity, veracity, justice, friend
ship or other sound principle of another
person. Confidence. Reliance."
"Now, my friend, you see that it is an
institution of considerable importance. You
have a large income, have you not ?"
Well, yes, we haveall the money that
is needed "
" And you ask me to become one of those
to whom property is committed in trust for
public uses, with confidence that it will be
properly applied, and you tell me that I
shall have nothing to do. Only my name.'
How am I to know that the money is pro
perly applied?" •
" Well, you know Mr. Sharpe; he is
really the acting manager. I suppose you
can trust him."
"Yes, and the public trust me. Suppose
Mr., Sharpe does his duties by proxy, and
takes the position without the work. How
are we to know ?"
"0, if things went wrong, you would
soon find out. Besides, all these things are
managed by one man. The trustees seldom
have much to do with them "
" Then, my friend, let them be in the
name of one man, and let the public look
to him."
"0, but the people will not believe in a
thing in the name of only one man. They
want names they know."
"names ! yes, and I am expected to lend
my name to this nian of whom I know little,
that he may trade with it upon the faith of
the people. Let me see, lam worth a few
thousand dollars. Would I hand over the
management of this money to' Mr. Sharpe
with no 'cheek or security, on the ground of
my faith in him ? Would you ? I think
not."
"But we have a treasurer."
" Yes, and he pays over moneys as ex
pended by your trustee, for he is the only
trustee in fact, with , written vouchers to be
sure, but who shall assure him that the
money may be properly expended ?"
"O, well, Mr. Smith; we will not urge
you, if you object; our list of trustees is
nearly full, and we wanted two or three
more. You see we havelmany good names,
and they have consented to act, without
any trouble."
"To act! to stand rather, you• should
say. Wonder it they ever read the defini
tion of trustee in the dictionary. man
to put confidence in, forsooth !"
My friend left me and found other
" names" without any difficulty, with which
the publics were satisfied.
Not long after, there came to my know
ledge a practical exposition of this doctrine
of trust. A friend came to me for my help
in looking into the affairs of an institution
with which he was nominally connected ;
" for," said he,
."they used my name and
put me in without my knowledge, and the
first notice I had of the appointment was
the seeing my name in print. It was too
late then to decline, as it had gone forth in
the reports; so I mean to make the best of
it, and do my duty." .
"Such duty ! One man had gone for
ward and shouldered the whole thing, con
trolled the funds, managed the business,
conducted the affairs, lived out of the con
cern, mismanaged as he choose; and whe
ther he was very honest and simple, or very
shrewd and deep, we never could determine.
One thing was certain, it was all in a mud
dle, funds wasted, things generally in a. bad
state, and now came the time for the trus
tees. Instead of being the officers and
crew of the ship, they were the wreckers.
"0, if things went wrong you would
soon find it out," so said my friend Green,
in his own persuasive manner. So when a
ship is on a lee shore you will soon find it
out ; but if it had been your duty to keep
it off the lee shore, what then ?
I gave the assistance he required to the
man who had been made trustee in spite of
himself, and we worked hard and saved the
ship. She was a good deal damaged, lost
sails and spars, and it cost both time and
money to refit, still she was not a total
wreck. But it taught me a lesson, and
you never will find me elected trustee, ex
cept where I accept the trust, and do my.
share of the duty.
I see plenty of institutions, monetary and
charitable, religious and secular, where
trustees give their names, and nothing else.
And there are, cases where names are used
without the consent of their owners. We
are too careless. A poor widow came to
me in great distress, having no one whom
shecould trouble for advice; she put some
of her money into an enterprise where she
saw the names of men she had faith in, as
trustees. The whole went to the dogs, and
she lost her money, and when she went to
one of these men, he told her he knew
nothing of the management; they used his
name and gave him some stock, and he
supposed it was all right; he had never
done anything. And this man was called
honest, as times go.
It is not long since a flagrant case came
to light in one of our cities, where poor
orphan children suffered neglect and abuse
in a quasi asylum for the orphan. Very
likely it is still going on. In this case, the
names of individuals who where well-known
had been used without their consent; and
even after they had positively forbidden it,
and in other cases, entirely 'without the
knowledge of those who had the best right
to the names.
But this is not nearly as bad as consent
ing to the use of one's name, without the
intention of assuming the duties.—N. Y.
