HAMM MARCH, D.C. 11 hive seen theland, and. behold, it le very good : l en d: a place in which there is no went of 0 3 'jibing that is in the earth.—Jonoss s'vrit. 9, 10. Thee words were used in old time to de ,cribe a broad andifertile plain lying at the f o untains of the Jordan; watered by running Strl" ,o tns shaded by evergreen oaks and tere linth and bay trees, bordered by sunny hills,, Ind hounded in the distance by snow-crowned m ountains. Enlarge the original signification of the words a hundred-thousand-fold, and t h e y become a fit description of the great l an d which Divine Providence has given to h e a home for the American people. We bad all seen enough of the exceeding beauty an dfertility . of this land to exclaim, with ever increasing wonder and delight, "Be hold. it is very good." Some of us have b ee n hurled on railway lines, day and night, with the speed of the storm over its vast ex pan,e westward, in the vain endeavor to I l e ave its eastern half behind, until every n erve in our weary frame was ready to cry, The land is very large." We have seen its arts and inventions and natural resources multiply so rapidly, and the merchandise of nations flow in upon its shores with such profusion, that we could indeed say, "This ie a land in which there is no want of any thing that is in the earth." This day of National Thanksgiving is a fit occasion to review the greatness and the value of the inheritance which God has given t he American people to possess, to cultivate and to enjoy. Not in pride nor in boastful ness would we survey this broad domain, which is doubly ours, by the gift, of Provi dence and by the purchase of human suffer ing. We would measure its vast extent and admire its exceeding_ beauty with such grati tude and praise as filled the first man's heart, when he surveyed the pleasant trees of para dise : when he saw the silvery streams of Eden flowing forth from their fourfold fount ; when be lifted up . his eyes to the distant mountains, stored with gold and all manner o f precious stones, and 'when he heard the voice bt the Lord God, walking in the shade of the garden, and saying, " This goodly land is given unto thee, 0 man, to keep, to culti vate and to enjoy." The voice of the Lord God has spoken many times to the American people, in the providences of our own history, in the agita tions of distant nations, and in the more re cent thunders of battle, saying, " This great land is all thine own, to be made the home of freedom s the habitation of righteousness, beacon of light and hope to all the oppressed and darkened of the earth." The inheritance is indeed very great, and it imposes a great responsibility. Let us look at both with gratitude for the trust, and with solemn purposes to keep it well. After all that has been said upon this pe culiar national theme, there are few .who know how great and rich and beautiul is this good land of oars. The facts that tell its greatness are poorly told in, figures. Let me try to express them by some of the as pects and phenomena, of nature which arrest the attention and, work themselves into per sonal experience. The summer dawn is purpling the pines in the woods of Maine, and changing Kathadin t 0.4. mountain of go , ld ,• while the shade's of midnight fall thick and dark upon our western coast. The morning smoke, rising from hunters' cabins on our northeastern frontier, and traveling westward in company with the flush of day, must move over one-fourth the breadth of the habitable Elobe, before it casts its shadow upon the l'acific wave. The telegraphic operator at Eastport keeps his office .open four hours after dark, and then, before retiring, sends his good-night salutation across sixty degrees of longitude to his associate at the Golden Horn. The message goes in a flash and overtakes the day before it leaves the western coast. And when the play of lightning winged words moves across the lines of lati tude, the operator at New Orleans complains that musquitoes come in with the sultry night air through his open window, and tor ment him at his work, while 'his northern associate is shivering with. cold before a win ter's fire.. The depth of snow in the woods of Maine is equal to the stature of a man, while the mocking bird sings in the everglades and the orange groves are all ablaze with flowers and fruit in the open air of Florida. The ambitious son of America who would survey his paternal inheritance with his own eyes by walking round' its varied outlines of land and sea, would need to walk every working day, through summer and winter, until the year, with all its seasons, had three times cempleted its round before he could say, "I have seen that boundaries of the na tion's home." Within the compass of this great domain may be found substantially every 'variety of surface and of scenery, of climate and of curiosity, of natural production and 'mineral treasure contained in the storehouse of the universal globe. Many of the natural fea tures of this land are set forth upon a scale of such colossal proportions as to make it seen' as if Divine Providence designed this Western world for a mightier race and for deeds of greater magnificence and for a return, in the elements of mental and moral grandeur, to the times of old, when there were giants in the earth, and the sons of God sought al liance with the children of men. We do not need to visit the Old World to find objects in nature or scenes of historic in terest to inspire the imagination or move the heart. The Thames bears the commerce of the world upon its waters, and yet an Ameri can schoolboy would not name so insignificant k stream in reciting the rivers of his native land. Poets have written rhapsodies of ad iniration upon the waterfalls of Switzerland, and yet all the cataracts of Europe might be Poured into the current of Niagara without sensibly increasing the volume of its flood, or deepening the voice of its thunder. We now Cross the ocean, and incur the cost and weari ness of long travel by land, that we may see the everlasting snows , of the. Alps, and climb the wild ravines where the glacier's cold and restless stream ploughs its way slowly down to the edge of the grassy plain. But let us Wait a little for the iron track o be laid, and seventy hours of travel, within our own terri tory, will whirl us along the edge of preci- Pices where Alpine goats would fear to climb; it will bring us under the alma& of mountains, whose cold tops are higher than the cloud-cleaving eagle ever flies ; and the roar of the rushing train, as we pass in the valley below, shall be answered by the louder thunder of the avalanche loosened from the suowy heights above. In the Old World men gather hay with reaping-hooks, and portion the earth into hand-breadthsfor tillage, and make food grow for man or - beast wherever there is soil enough to catch the sunshine. The wheat.field of a Western farmer would cover the inheritance of a thousand familieg in France. Let the valley of the Mississippi be subjected to such - economy of cultivation as is practised is Belgium, and it would support greater population than now lives on the fac e of the whole earth. In the Old World th e difficult problem is to find land for the people ; in the new, •to find people for the land. If our thirty millions were sprinkled uniformly over our whole territory, it would scatter individuals and families so far from each other as to destroy the bands of society and defeat the ends of civilization. It has become a Parliamentary question in England, how long she can live upon the na tural resources stored within the narrow 1 bounds of her sea-walled home. Her states men and economists have begun .to calculate the time when the failure of ore in her mines shall silence her hammers and forges ; the exhaustion of her coal-fields shall put out the fires in her furnaces ; the loss of commerce shall leave her ships idle on the sea, and the once proud sovereignty shall become an im poverished and dependent province of some mightier people. Twill not presume to say whether or not there may be reasons for such calCulations, but on..this side of the ocean the constant problem with economists and states men is, hoiv to bring into more rapid use mineral treasures and natural resources which. all believe to be exhaustless. When all the iron of this continent has been smelted into bars, and all the coal of our hills and moun tains has disappeared in smoke and flame, surely the earth itself will be ready for the final conflagration, or the race of 'man will be prepared for a new heaven and a new earth. I am not ,afraid *of saying too much in praise of this great and good land which God has given to the American people. It is due to the Infinite Giver that we- shall task our selves to describe and appreciate the great ness of His gift. And no fastidious critic, native or foreign, shall make me ashamed to Plory in this great inheritance, which Divine rovidence has given to us to keep, to culti vate and to enjoy as truly as Paradise was given to Adam, - and Palestine was given to Israel. I have read what Moses wrote by Divine inspiration; in describing the littld land given unto his people. And I have seen that he exhaus ~ the power of language in praising their wised land to the tribes of Israel, and teac mg them to exalt it above all other lands of the earth, thatthus they might learn to love it and keep it as the gift of God. And for the same purpose will I ever praise and exalt and magnify this greater and richer land which God has given unto the Ameri can people. Every time I survey this vast inheritance, already dedicated to God and liberty, by the faith of every true American Christian, I rejoice that it has skies purer than Italy, valleys richer than Egypt, rivers greater than the Rhine or Ganges, mountain ranges longer and higher than Alps or Appe nines, natural resources sufficient to feed and clothe all nations. And I would thus glory in this great and good land of ours, not in any narrow spirit.of boasting or national vanity, but in gratitude to Him who has made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined for each the bounds of their habitation. And it makes a great dif ference where the bounds of our habitation have been determined for us. Families of Swiss peasantry live for successive centuries in the same rude cabin, extorting a meagre subsistence from the same few rods of earth, t ) living with' a.prescribed line of hard neces sity upon verge of fatal want,,and obliged to walk as ircumspectly within that line, as they would upon the edge of an Alpine pre cipice, knowing that a single misstep would be destruction. There Providence has given them their habitation, and there they must live without power to remove or to rise in the social scale ; there they must remain, bound to their cold mountains by ties that they cannot break. So with the disfranchised and landless peasantry of many nations ; so with the millions of poor, stifling and starv ing in the great cities of the Old World. They cannot endure their cramped and fettered condition, and yet they have scarcely'a hope thatit can ever be made any better. In their desperation of spirit they feel that the boun ties of heaven and the charities of man are all exhausted before reaching their lowly con dition. How different all that from the high career of adventure and improvement open for all classes in this country. To the American people, the voice of God's Provi dence is ever saying, as it said to Abraham in old time :—"Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art north ward, and southward, and eastward, and westward, for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it and to thy seed forever. Arise ! walk through the land in the length of it and in the, breadth of it, for I will give it unto thee." This is our National home which keeps solemn thanksgiving to God to-day. In all the sanctuaries and by all. the firesides of the people it is, meet that there should be con grittulations and festivities of joy, even though team mingle with our gladness and occasional clouds dim our sunshine. I do not forget that I am speaking at a time when. the throes of recent revolution have shaken the' foundations of our most chethhed institutions, and they have not yet had time to settle into, firmness and form. The ship of state his outridden .the. storm, but it is still tossing on the ground swell of the sea. I know that the baleful fires of rebellion have not yet burned out, but 'I will rejoice that, when they shot up their highest flame, they did not reach our eagle in his eyrie. I kno* that the claims of instice are not Yet' fully answered in behalf of the poor and oppressed; but their manhood is admitted, and their'fetters are broken. I am not sur prise& that the work of re-establishing order and unity and good understanding proves to be hard and long.• L am not discouraged be cause there are diversities of feeling and opinion as to the mode in which the work should be done. Delays and hindrances may only help us to wiser and better conclusions. A thousand years scarce serve to form a State. The millenial age of righteousness and peace must dawn before a nation can be born in a day. If we mean that the house of the nation's liberties shall stand, we must take time to build it well ; and we must not lose heart or hope if it be longer in the construction than the Temple of Solomon, which was destroyed, Car the Pyramids of Egypt, which stand. The engineer who would span a mighty stream with piers and arches and roadway for the flying train, lays his foundations deep and broad ; and, if once or twice his work be shattered by flood or storm before its com pletion, the delay and the disaster only in sure a firmer structure in the end. This is not a service in which to' express fears or .to indulge in laihentations. And. there is little need of either to one who studies our condition in the light of history, and who believes in the Divine Providence which has always delivered us in our greatest peril. The great price at which the whole land has been repurchased for the peoPle is a new . guaranty of united and permanent possession. Every dollar in the crushing, millions of National debt confirms the right of every American citizen to call the whole land his, own. The Chancellor of the Eng lish Exchequer has been congratulated upon diminishing their national debt half as much in a whole year as ours is diminished regu larly every week: , The nation which can walk erect with three thousand millions of. debt upon its shoulders, and toss the pay ment of principal and.interest into the hands of its; creditors before they call, is not a nation to, be crushed by a. little delay in the adjuStmentiof a domestic broil. Every memory, of the long marches which' a million soldiers made under the flag of the Republic, will confir.m,in their hearts an un dyinglesve.for .the whole land and an uncoil qnerable purpose to keep it and defend it for and and liberty.. The sacred' fires. of patriotism will be kindled anew to-day in THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY , DECFAMbER 6 186 t; millions of hearts, when those who gather around the social board are reminded, by a break in the family circle, of some far dis tant spot where a brother or a son poured out his blood in sacrifice upon the altar of his country. The countless graves of the nation's dead will make the whole land sacred to freedom and unity in the eyes of all the people as long as summer crowns the sod with its green coronal, and winter shrouds the mounded field with its snowy mantle. Every exhibition of dauntless courage, every deed of impetuous valor, every example of heroic endurance, every act of self-denying devotion which the great conflict has inscrib ed in the nation's history, is a pledge to all the world that the heritage so dearly bought shall be kept and transmitted in full suc cession to coming generations. The thanks giving which we offer to the God of onr fathers to-day must be understood as a re newal of our solemn league and covenant, that in all this land citizenship shall be the birthright of manhood ; righteousness shall be the inspiration of public law; brother hood'shall be the bond between man and man, and the welfare of the human race shall be sought equally by the policy of the Gov ernment and the prayer of the people. gut cajutto is, to put NARRATIVE' OF RELIGION FOR THE SYNOD OF lOWA. FOR THE YEAR ENDING- SEPT. 11. TH., 1866 One minister of this body has died—Rev. Asa Martin, a worthy member and Stated Clerk of Chariton Presbytery, which may account for no report being sent either to the Assembly or Cynod from that Presby tery. Mr. Martin was an invalid when last appearing in the Synod at Newton, and has since gone to the grave with consumption. As a faithful, modest, and unassuming man of God, his memory is precious. Two ministers have been dismissed; three ministers have been received, and two li censed to preach the Gospel. Two minis ters have been installed as pastors, with high hopes of usefulness and permanence. One church has been lost by change of ecclesiastical relations : , and the majority of another; while four churches have been added to the body, and one from the other Piesbyterian branch, and another from the Free Synod, have ,been united with ours with harmony of feeling. The Synod now sonsiste of six Presby-, teries, fifty-four ministers, two licentiates and four candidates, with forty-nine churches and two thousand three hundred and fifty four communicants. The whole increase reported for the year past is three minis ters, two licentiates, and two hundred and sixty-eight communicants. REVIVALS Revivals, more or less extensive, have been enjoyed in the churches of Winterset, Des Moines, Wattloo, Cedar Valley, Mar engo, Atalipa, and at an out-station of Vin ton. The Churches of Winterset and Waterloo have experienced to a remarkable degree the outpouring4of the Holy Spirit, resulting in fifty hopeful conversions in each congregation, and large additions. Some conversions have occurred in nearly all the churchei of Des Moines Presbytery which. have ministers. Prayer-meetings during the, week, monthly concerts with collections, Sunday-school concerts, young people's and female prayer-meetings, are held with increasing interest. SABBATH-SCHOOLS The observance of the Sabbath .and at tendance upon public worship , is also pro gressing in most congregations and commu nities. Sabbath-schools are assuming more importance, particularly those in out-of-town stations, as at Keokuk, where our Church has a mission school of two hundred at tendants, and generally in. Des Moines Prssbytery, where ministers preach at out posts. In all our churches the Sunday school cause is gaining in interest, and the numbers in attendance are large. At the Soldiers' `Orphans' `Home in Cedar Falls, till lately under a superintendent who is an Elder in our. Church, Sabbath-school in struction has resulted in several Conver sions of the young orphans. The total Sunday-school - membership reported is 3154. . .4 . qH1340 . H EDIVIOES Four congregations have paid'‘all debts on their church edifices—Cedar Rapids, Wyoming, Lyons, and Cedar Falls; while the ' phnrch of Marshalltown, Terhaps the best edifice in our Synod, has been complet ect and dedicated. The_ congreg:ations of Des. Moines third, Janesville, Nevada and Steamboat Rock are erecting church edifices. The Church of Winterset have a paraonage paid for. That of Marengo has a neat par sonage nearly'paid for: Individuals of the Cedar 'Rapids`' °M AL, to prevent the fre quent removals of 'their minister, have erected a dwelling for his 'express accom modation. • CONTRIBUTIONS One church only, that of Lyons, has con tributed to all the objects of benevolence recommended by the General .Assembly; that of Wheatland to nearly all, and others are gaining in systematic giving. The whole amount contributed in all the churches of the Synod, as reported, . for benevolent objects and for congregational miscellaneous purposes, is $31,932. Our churches are thus becoming somewhat of a money power in the' State and world, as well as a moral and religions institution among men. TEMPERANCE The cause of temperance in some parts of our bounds has been much advanced. 'ln lowa county, one liquor seller has been prosecuted and fined by the court $6OO, and a druggist $360. In Polk county similk• fines have been inflicted. But in Linn county„ the climax of moral and legal reformation has been attained L-fines to the amount of $3OOO have been imposed On sundry violat ors of the liquofilaws • and in one ease, for repeated acts of violation of the laws, a liquor saloon keeper has been fined. in-all $6OO, and has been imprisciked thirty-five days for his offences. There is yet much need of labor by : Christians and moral citi zens for the further suppression of intem- - , perance. REVIEW In review of the year, therefore, the revivals of religion, the spirit of prayer, the increase of ministers, churches, communi cants., SundaY-school scholars, with the re- opening of the Academic Department of Yellow Spring College at Kossuth, and the prosperity of Lyons Female College, under the ownership and presidency of one of our number, for the education of our youth, and with the erection of new church edifices, and the increased observance of the Sab bath and attendance on public worship, we have every cause for gratitude to the Lord of the harvest, and for hope of future success, while we prs,y him to send forth laborers into this harvest, and to pour out his Spirit from en high, thereby enlarging the peace and prosperity of our Churches, as well as of all the Evangelical Churches of every name in all our new ‘"borders, by far too wide for us to do - all the work of saving our commonwealth, our country and the world, as instruments under God. SAMUEL STORRS How; Chairman. ENGLISH HYMNS OF THE ELIZABETH AN ERA. Few of the hymns of the Elizabethan era live in our knowledge, and fewer still in our affections. On the-whole, they are Divine poems rather than hymns, and as such, are to be judged rather by the intel lect than by the heart. There is something hard and unloving about them, and the voices in which they speak have a strange, unfamiliar sound. The Ambrosian mid night hymn, "Hark 'tis the midnight cry," stirs th Christian heart after a lapse .of fourteen centuries, and'the hymns of two - Bern t ards of the twelfth century are living tones in the Church 'of the nineteenth cen tury, with power to thrill living hearts. The Latin hymn writers being dead, yet speak. But Spencer's fine "Hymn to the Saviour," Gascoigne's morning, and even ing hYmns, and the various sacred verses by Ben Johnson, Shirley, Wotton, Withers, Herrick, and others, are more like. fossil ized specimens of a religious life wherewith we have little kinship, than tongues sing-. ing of our own faith in our own language. The hymns which make our church-roofs ring, which soothe the sick-beds of princes and peasants, which come 'like true " sing ing angels," bringing peace when flesh and heart fail, and falter forth from dying lips wherever our tongue is spoken, were not indicted by the mighty masters of verse, but by humbler men, whose songs gushed warm from hearts which the love of Jesus had touched. To such! in all ages the Church has decreed the crown of sacred song. Aloof as the Elizabethan hym*are from the religious life of our own day, it is hard to conceive of them as having been even in their own the property of any but an educated few. Their doctrine was la boriously orthodox, but their manner was as fantastic as that of the hymns of the later monkish hymn writers. There is, indeed, little enough in the Elizabethan hymnology to warrant its res storation It is mainly interesting as indi cative of the prevailing form of religions thought during eighty years ; thought oc casionally expressed in vigorous language, but lacking poetic beauty and the fervor of an enthusiastic devotion. It might be that, though the old sensuous and emotional creed had lost its hold on men, the new faith, ih all its glorious vitality of love and l i hope ' was not, as in Germany, fully re ceived; 'the abundance of the heart was lacking," and so the mouth spake not. It was not till a later day that the Church in England anointed herself with the oil of gladness, and put on her robes of festival, on awaking into the realization of the "glorious hope" which was hers through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.—London, Sunday Magazine.
