Other rs do not want such inspirations in ate. , common public spheres, but in the Fencua they are even indispensable. And were i, a very great difference in men in respect. as in respect to faith. All men are spirit—permeable, that is, by the Spirit God—and able, in virtue of that tact. to be born of the Spirit. But the inspirable enough to barely be saved is not the kind of capacity necessary to nale a great preacher of Christ. There any even be good, serviceable men in reli gion, having a serviceable heat not easily nflmbted, who have yet no tinder.stock, or int of naphtha mixed with their clay, to tl no , v them up ever into flame. They are n , :bracites all, going by faith princi pai'i in the sense that they trust the cal eulati as of their understanding; wise in conned, it may be, good for the composing ~fc,l:lealties and the planning of solid ad ;Laments, and having an immense value it , al as ballasting for the ship. But as ballast is good for nothing above water line, and nobody can make sails of ballast, these heavy natures cannot preach in acoirdupoise, or do anything in a way of propulsion. Neither is the case very much better where the temperament rushes one directly by faith. into great vehemence and passion. This kind of nature is often less inspirable ever, than the other. The zeal of the flesh is to hot for the quiet zeal of faith. No bait expects either steam or lightning to be inspired. Such cannot have a call of God, because they cannot stay for it. Speaking in the vehemence of steam, there 171 be no accent of divinity in what they say: but they will be very much like those hideously sonorous throats of iron, that publish a call every naorningin the suburbs of our cities, which is most perceptibly not Divine, Now. there is nothing more evident than that one may have all the four canonical talents in great promise, and yet have al most no faith-talent with them—no inspira tion. no capacity of any. Examples of the !find are even common. The nature they have is either a nature, too impetuous, or too close, to let any Divine movement have Play in it. The preacher must be a very different kind of man; one who can be unified with God by his faith, and go into preaching not as a calling but a call ;, one do can domore than get up notions about God, and preach the notions ; one who knows God as he knows his friend, and by closeness of insight gets a Chriatly meaning iu his look, a Divine quality in his voice, lake visibly swayed by unknown impulse, izaginations that are apocalyptic, beauty of feeling not earthly, authority flavored by heavenly sanctity and sweetness, argument that breaks out in flame, asserting new pre nlises and fertilizing old ones, more by T?hat is put into them than by what is de duced from them. Such a man can be God's prophet—that is to say, he can preach. In this view it is important to add, that many persons having this high talent will tot, or may not, for a long time, know it. The inspiration must be developed before either they or others are apprised of the Capability. Hence it; is almost never in cluded, when we make up our account of this or that man's talent for the pulpit. Yer aught that appears, the candidate may- be a Savonarola, a Bunyan, or a White field, but we have no conception of the fact, and never can have, till the inspiration takes him, and his quality is revealed. Not even Luther was any so prodigiously gifted person till he broke into God's liberty, and, by faith, became his prophet. And then a great part of his sublimity lay in that awful robustness of nature that could BALLARD'S TRIRD NATIONAL SHOE STORE ONE PRICE. THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THU be so tremendously kindled by God's in spirations, burning on, still on, in a grand volcanic conflagration of faculty, yet never consumed.—Dr. Bushnell's Andover Ad dress. GREAT AND POPULAR SERMONS. Many good people have a prejudice against what are called " great" sermons, as if they could have in them little reli gion; and a still stronger prejudice against racy sermons, as if wit and aptness were out of place in the pulpit. Dr. Phelps, in the Biblioth,eca Sacra for July, has some good thoughts must believe that undeserved censure has been broadcast upon both the pulpit and the popular taste, by indiscriminate re buke. That is not. a healthful caution= for it is neither reasonable, nor Scriptural, nor true to the teachings of history—which decries the careful, the studied, the elabo rate, the anxious use of what are ambigu ously called " natural means" in preaching. God 'recognizes no other than natural means. Supernatural power acting through natural means, is the Divine ideal of suc cessful preaching. So far as we have any thing to do With it, the means are as essential as the power. Philosophically speaking, indeed, we have nothing to do with any thing but the means. Prayer is but a means auxiliary to truth. That is a legitimate taste, therefore,which demands thought in the pulpit, as every where else .where mind attempts to influ ence mind. That would be a criminal weakness in the pulpit which should fail to meet such a demand. We must com mend the alertness of the popular mind which requires penetrative and suggestive preaching. Men always require this when they are in earnest. They have a right to it. We should not be fearful of " great sermons." •We are in no peril of great ness abovo measure. It would be more be coming to our modesty to stir up each other's minds in remembrance of the evil wrought by small sermons. But the truth is, that in this work of preaching Christ, "great" and "small" are impertinent ad juncts. In such a work nothing is great but God; nothing small in his service. That is not only a hopeless, it is a positive ly false policy, which, in its fear of an ex cess of stimulus in the pulpit, would put down the popular craving for thought, by inundating the pulpit with commonplaces whose only claim to attention is that they are true. Even that which is severely and justly censured as " sensational preaching" is not so unworthy of respect as that preaching which popular impatience de scribes by the use of an old word in our English vocabulary, and calls "hum drum." The policy of frowning upon the raciness of the pulpit as an unholy thing, is not the policy commended in the Scriptures ; nor is it the policy which historically God has blessed. Apostles charge us : Be strong; quit you like men. The Bible itself is the most thrilling living volume in all litera ture. Why do philosophers turn to it when all wisdom is exhausted ? Yes, savages have wept, entranced by it, when they would play with their plumes under the reading of the Pilgrim's Progress, or Robinson Crusoe. The testimony is, that in every period of religious awakening in the world the pulpit has been intellectual ly awake. Preaching has been thought ful, weighty, pungent, startling and time ly; so broad awake as to impress the world as a novelty. At such times there is very little of conservative tranquility in it. It seems to be turning the world upside down. It has always been thus ; it always will be. Cannot the depth of revivals of religion be generally measured by the weight of the discussions in which the pulpit has pressed down truth into the popular heart ? The principle, in brief, which should de cide all questions respecting the intellectu ality of preaching, is this : that the popu lar mind will always demand, and ought always to receive, so much of weighty, racy, penetrative, original thought as the popular conscience is sufficiently educated to appropriate ; and it should receive no . more. MATIONIET. As he assumed the character of a proph et, one is naturally led to compare him with the mighty spiritual leaders of the chosen people of his own Semitic race, whose majesty Michael Angelo has fitly been able to interpret : with Moses, with Elijah, with Isaiah, and with Elekiel; yet the Arabian is but a sorry and barbarous counterfeit of these great types of human ity. One chapter of Hosea or Amos con tains more grandeur of soul and more lite rary value the than whole of the Coran. Thus, in his highest flights, Mahomet never rises above the dignity of a coarse and ignorant imitation of a Hebrew proph et; while in his lowest abasement, as in the scene of the massacre of the Coraitza, for example, he looms through history with the sanguinary darkness of a king of Da homey or Ashantee. As the founder of a religion, it would be blasphemy to name him in the same breath with one of whom he presumed to declare himself a rival, of whose mission and incarnation he could ap preciate neither the beauty, the spotless ness, nor the truth. Place side by side a narrative of the origin of Christianity and a narrative of the origin of the faith of Islam, and without another word of argu ment the divinity of the one and the hu manity of the other are apparent. But if we compare Mahomet with another founder of a religion, Bouddha, Bouddha appears, in his doctrine of self-abnegation and in his spiritual conception of human nature and the destinies of man, to stand as much above Mahomet as Mahomet does above the founder of American Mormonism. As in Mahomet's moral conduct of life, so in all his religious conceptions, there is a coarse ness and grossness suited only to the semi barbarous nations who have remained faith ful to his creed. The distinguishing mark, however, of Mahomet's whole life and character, is a savage incongruity ; he was BALLARD'S 37 NORTH Emu STREET, NEAR FILBERT ONE PRICE. a strange mixture of barbarity and gentle ness, of severity and of licentiousness, of ignorance and elevation of character, of credulity and astuteness, of ambition and simplicity of life, of religious conviction and low imposture ; but the most astonish ing trait of his character, and that which made him indeed a great man, was an invin cible belief in himself, in the ever-present protection and favor of God, and in the destiny of the religion he was to found. The indissoluble tenacity of his belief, in spite of the tremendous difficulties which beset his career, forms the real grandeur of his character. Mahomet is the only founder of a reli gion of whose personal appearance we pos sess authentic details. He was a little above the middle height, strongly but sparely made, with broad shoulders and a slight stoop ; his hair was black, and in the prime of life clustered over his ears; his moustache and beard were also black, the latter abundant and reaching some way down his chest; his forehead was large, with a vein on it which swelled when he was angry; his complexion was fair for an Arab; his eyes were large, black and piercing, but bloodshot and restless ; his teeth were white and well formed, but stood apart ; his walk was so rapid that people bad to run to keep up with him, and his gait is described as being like that of a man striding downhill. He was simple in his apparel; he never wore silk but once in his life, and then threw it aside in dis :,,ust, saying it was no fit dress for a man. His general attire Was white and red or striped cotton ; like all Arabs, he had no taste for comfort, and, the luxurious refine ments of artificial life were not known to him, or would have been despised. had they become so ; a bed of palm-tree fibre, a low hut of burnt tiling with a palm-tree roof, would have been by him preferred to a palace. Still he was in some things of ex tremely delicate and sensitive taste, as in the use of perfumes and in his distaste for unpleasant odors. At Medina he once sent back a dish of mutton to the sender un touched, because it was flavored with onions, saying that they were disagreeable to the angel who visited him; he never travelled without toothpicks and antimony for his eyes; he was a good listener in con versation, and never in shaking hands was the first to withdraw his own ; he was not addicted to any of the games or sports of which the Arabs were passionately fond, and was, in all things, most unlike the heri oic ideal of Arab character.—Edinburgh , Review. ftttant This is a personal in vitation to the reader to examine our new styles Of FINE CLOTHING, Cas simer Suits for $l6, and Black Suits for $22.
