d.c -sibility also of Divine inspirations,
all those exaltations—visibly Divine
t,o7.luer.ts in the soul—that endow and
... - eded to endow the preacher. 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

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

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 ,
