Biortitantous. THE COLORED RACE HATE TO pECT FROM THE SOUTHERN iitt , :sBYTERIAN CHURCH. ,i v v. the sittings of the late Southern Assembly, we noticed, in the dim respecting the church status of m inisters and churches, what then ,red like a disposition to rise superior a ccidental distinctions which have to do with the placis of people in u:ebold of Christ. As the discussion iscd, the hope that there was finally relaxing of the old pro-slavery preju- . dwindled away, and the dissolving rime, in the following series of teso- „d e ed, 1. That this Assembly enter :, jar the freed people the sincerest eats of good will and affection ; that r-dy desires and prlys for their sal , and would encourage the employ every legitimate means for the ~ on of their spiritual good; that ..embly believes the present condi ! the, colored race in the country to ~: alarming spirithal jeopardy, and is binding on us, as Christians, to that lies in our power to save them t he calamities by which they are .tenicl, and to confer on them the rich of the Gospel.' (7, 2. That it be recommended to ministers and Churches to exert ° N es to the utmost of their ability to ee to give the Gospel' to these peo ,., church sessions to urge upon • among them the duty of presenting 'hill:iron for baptism, a4d of bringing .p in the nurture and admonition of , rd; and to pastors, evangelists and ~i , ries to' devote a portion of their :he promotion of the salvation of people. e#lo•'d, 3. That in the judgment of .\.,embly, it is highly inexpedient t mere should be an ecclesiastical sepa• or the white and colored races ; that measure would threaten evil to both and especially to the colored, and ua therefore it is desirable that every ie..rrantable effort be made affectionately to 1 : ....ade the freed people from severing • connection with our churches, and to 11:,'12 them with us as of old. Should decline this fellowship of ordinances, 1:; desire a separate organization, then our - .3'3 are authorized to organize them ,_ branch congregations. In such oases, recommends that suolicon ,,ations shall be allowed, under. the :kin of the sessions, to elect from themselves, every year, such num ut superintendents or watchmen as the -Jai may advise, who shall be charged w • : the oversight of such congregations. 7t r superintendents shall report to the for their action, all matters relat li the welfare of said' congregations. Resolved, 4. Whenever Presbyteries may :1: , 1 it necessary to organize separate col -c ti congregations, they shall appoint a omission of elders who shall discharge functions committed to the sessions in preceding resolutions. -R,.so/ve4, 5. That while nothing in our :,,;cards, or in the Word of God, pro ,' 't, the introduction into the Gospel -try of duly qualified persons of any ,• yer difficulties arise in the genera' • ~:ture. of society, and from providential which may and should restrain the I tication in the Church of this abstract :.r.ciple. Holding this in view,•the As whly recommends that wherever a session Presbytery shall find a colored person shall possess suitable qualifications, y are authorized to license him to labor . an exhorter among the colored people ~ i er the supervision of the 'body appoint him. Rcquived, 6. That the Assembly re .,uniends'whenever it is - prabtiCable, oli-nhools for the benefit of the freed ople, especially the young, be established , connection with our churches, and that .:ie sessions of the churches take these , 11001, under their charge and provide tibt teachers for them. 'Re No' vet?, 7., That the heads of , families exhorted to encourage the freed people it households' to attend upon family üblie worship, and that they provide t, em, as far as possible,' cateobetical in -1.,J1,,n in the doctrines and duties of (; uspel. . .I:ws'ved ) S. That the General Assem earnestly desire the intellectual and improvement of the colored race, hereby tender to all persons suitably idled, who may labor in the work, its -zy encouragement and support." e New York Observer passes a justly ere censure upon this action. The f01.7,n0, .7,no, paragraphs from that paper bring its true import from the nimbus of a :111e.,..ed tenderness for the colored race, id put it into plain English, revealing 'e despotic spirit of the most glorious • ot the patriarchal institution. The most important point in the action _''this Assembly, 'and one which has a - ,artling significance, 'as coming from a Igh court of Jesus Christ t is the deliber 'e resolution to make an u.iter distinction the Church of God between <those who Ire a white skin and those who have a aclt one, and to shut out from all the Ices of the Church the litter, no matter , hether they have been called of God; Or ow well qualified they may be in other • Teets. The simple question of color is ilet , rmiue whether a man is to be ad to the ministry, or even to the office ruling elder; and this is so decided by large body of learned and able Christian Liaihturs and ruling elders, professedly icting in the name of that God who, in •alling His people out of darkness into dis marvelous light, and in calling them Into the ministry of reconciliation, cannot be supposed to select them according to the comp.exion of their skin. The resolutions still further. They effectually prevent organization of a single church com e , -ed ufoolored people alone, anywhere in coact,qion with the Presbyterian body eprcetited by this Assembly. We pre- the circumstances of the case, I THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN , TH URSDAY, DECEMBER 27 1866 and froin the character of the discussion, that there was no serious objection to churches composed of colored people, ex cepting en' the ground that they could not have churches without elders; but if they had elders of their own color, those elders would Ire entitled to take their seats in the Presbyteries and Synods, and even in the General Assembly.: Colored churches, too, might elect coloted,pastors, who, according to the Presbyterian doctrine of parity in the ministry,,,would be placed on an equali ty with white ministers; and so, to prevent the PPssibility' of meeting on the same level, even' ib: the Church, the whole sys tem of exolusion vik adopted ; no colored man oan-be 'a minister of the Gospel; no .colored man can be a ruling elder; no churches, composed of colored people can be organized. For proof that we do not misstate, or overstate, the nature and im portance of this ecclesiastical decision, we - refer our readers to the resolutions. " The reCommendation that ' wherever a session or Presbytery shall find a colored person who shall possess suitable qualifica tions, they are authorized to license him to. labor as an. exhorter among the colored people under the supervision of the body, appointing him,' , does not relieve, but rather aggravates, the case, inasmuch as it admits that qualified persons may be-found to exhort, or preach the Gospel, but it ex cludes them from discharging the functions of the ministry as they are black men. And so in cases where the freed people desire a separate organization the sessions are au thorised to organize them into branch con gregations,' but these organizations are not to be churches; they are simply meetings, having no church authority or privilege, but, in all respects, under the control of white churches, the same as if they met and worshipped with them." THE WORLD'S CONVERSION TO JESUS CHRIST, Comprehensively, our ' -(treat missionary work is "to preach the Gcspel to - every , creature." ' -The completeness of the idea is in bringing back all these aliens to near communion with God. Heathen society is everywhere wretched in its unkindness. Selfishness reigns unbroken ; they "live in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another." But the Pagan nations are still more miserable; in that they are " without s God, and have no hope in the world." They have no conception of a Deity with whom it may be possible that man should hold joyful communion. Their gods are capricious and fickle, lavishing gifts in their fondness upon their favorites, which stimulates them to only a selfish and mer cenary devotion, and wreaking vengeance in their wrath in such a bloody way as only to excite horror and hatred There is. no blending of majesty and mercy, and tem pering the divine character with dignity and amenity, which may at once inspire. reverence' and love. The god and the man cannot meet peaceably together. The god will despise the man, and the man will con temn the god. No pagan devotee ever worships a Deity in whom he sees "mercy and truth meeting together, and righteous ness and peace embracing each other." But what paganism never apprehends, the Bible everywhere discloses. In the Christian ecenom , justice and grace ever meet and suppo each other. Authority is sustained, while benignity prevails. With all his terrible majesty on the smoking mountain, amid the thunderings and light- ItiElfi, still the divine Lawgiver proclaims himself "the Lord, the Lord God, merci ful and gracious." At the awful. day of the last judgment, when he comes in clouds with all his holy angels, there is still the softening of 'the scene in the expiatory mark of the spear; and we look on him "whom they have ,pierced." The mixed majesty and mercy perpetually strike the sinner's attention, and win him to intimate and, joyous communion. The human heart is here hit by, the flash of combined severi ty and tenderness, as was denying„Peter. by the look of his Master; and in heathen and Christian lands alike, penitence goes away alone and weps bitterly. ,e , . Philosophy analyzes and .accurately dis criruinates the elements in, these Christian experiences, b'tit the practical metaphysician takes the facts which are' the fruit of the speculation, and simply and directly uses ,there to bring baek last humanity into com munion with' propitiated Deity. There must be apprehended the seVerity tempered' by placability. The sinner is not - made' alive by the Gospel, till first he has been slain by the law. Compassion will not effectually "persuade men," except as they also " know the terrors of the Lord." Wherever this rational, as truly as evan gelical, way' of return to God is kept in ob scurity or held in incompleteness, there will be, on any portion of the great field of benevolent labor, pagan or • Christian, a large amount of religious effort utterly wasted. Much of that which is called powerful preaching, revival preaching, ar-, dent missionary zeal, very soon exhausts 1 all its efficiency. When the appeals are to the hope of human happiness mainly, or fear of coming misery, melting exhibitions of Jesus's sympathy with suffering humani ty, there may be a quick interest excited, the freshness and force of whioh. soon passes off, and the themes becoMe idle and empty as the tales of the nursery; even the sacred story of the Saviour's, dying limp may be told with such an application, that, the, poiier , of the cross shall be made weakness. When put in the light merely of relief from wretchedness, or attainment of happiness, whether here or hereafter, the oreat transactions of Calvary will quickly n 'wear out as motives to action. To him who closely' reads human nature, there will be nti.mystery, under such influence, that so much apparent " goodness is as the morning cloud and the early dew." He will not wonder that the sensational'preach ers and sensational hearers so soon get tired of each other. But, on the other hand, that kind of deal- ing with fallen man, in any clime, which takes him into the presence• of the heart searching God, and obliges him to see the necessity( of meeting , and gaining prepare- 1 tion for communion with him ; such preach ing)* and dealing with the sinner never loses fountains of the soul, and such motives its power. a penetrates to_the deepest never wear out To these appeals the ear of saint and sinner ever opens, and the convicted man is, forced to cry out, " Be hold, I am vile, what shall 1 answer ? I will lay my hand upon my mouth." " I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth thee, where foie I abhor myself; and repent in dust and ashes !" We shall make the most Chris tians at home and abroad, we shall make the best Christians, when we constrain the most-directly to the -enquiry, " How shall I appear before God ?" and when we bring the soul at length into, the most intimate communion with God. The nations of the earth wait for the day of universal peace, and ill - the families of mankind need to be brought together in love and kindness; Commercial intercourse will not effect this. Literature, philosophy, political economy; diplomacy, will never kindle and diffuse Chriatian philanthropy; The love of Christ shed abroadin the heart by the Holy Ghost, and ,which brings into love and communion with God,- will alone bring men truly to love one another. The greater contains the less, and co,mmunion with God holds within it also fellowship with man We are to value communion with God, not as the:means to get the fur. ther end that man should be kind to man, but because godly communion is itself the highest grace in its own excellency, and includes and sustains within itself love to man and all lower graces. It is the great end of Christian conversion itself, ,and ) the consummation of the Christian life, that the sinning soul his been brought,t6 dwell in peace with God. We shill' haVe; finished our missionary work, andprepared the hea then for all other good, :and brought "hu manity to its highest excellency, when we shall have brought the feeling of the Psalm ist to be universal, " My 'soul longeth:, and even fainteth for the. Lord; my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God." And now, brethren, this same thing, so important for the heathen world, is, equally important fur us in laboring for, their sal vation. As co-workers with God for a dying world, our first need is, that we e.itne ciiise to him, and keep in habitual communion with him. We shall su "he changed into his image from glory to glory," and our love and devotion to him will grofv deeper and parer from year to year This communion with the Father will be:through the Sun, but in the mediation of the Son we shall read the very heart of the Father. All that the Son suffered and does for a lost world is hilt fulfilling the plan and exe cuting the will of the Father. Distinction of office and execution in the redemption work makes no distinction in design and disposition. " Here the whole Deity is known;" the justice and the grace have equal glory; and the justice and the.grace have no distribution in.property or degree among the persons of the Godhead. Our communion here is with God in his unity, and the fellowship is equally with the Father, and his Son Jesus Christ, and with the Holy Ghost. In giving our hearts to God, we receive in return a Father's em brace, and an elder Brother's welcome, and the in-dwelling Spirit of perpetual console,- Here, too, we get our true and deep sym pathy for the heathen. We shall pity their personal debasement, their social degrada tion, and, most of all, shall we pity their alienation from God. All other woes are as nothing.compared with the absolute-desola tion of living without God. The samejm pulse will then move us toward them as that which sent the Saviour into our lost world. " Lo, I come to do thy will, omy God ; I delight to do thy will." qplllllMll - in God's will is our best preparation for all missionary service. Nothing else can make: , us so strong to carry help to the lost nations and tribes of men When dis couragetuents and disasters and•delays Ines& -uponus,,notbing else -can keep.us so hope ful so enduring so persevering.' Amid all sorts of hindrapcpc, this will make us 'patient, courageous, and'at .length triumph ant. In every difficulty and trial we have but to gay, ), , . Nearer myy . God, to thee, Nearer to thee," - and we shall goon refreshed and unfalter ing. Near GOd ourselVes, we shall not fail nor' grew' iFeaty others' to Rim. We shallrexpect sna'Chose not to rest till we reach the heavenly ccinithunion.- Out of this' fallen world, God.has reveal ed to., us :that he ,wili gather , a-'fredeemed world of his own. ; ".He will -purify- to him- Self a . peculiar, people." In all ages he has had a-seed to serve him, an,sl, the promised age is coming "wen When all shall know,the I s ord.", Our part,, brethren', in the good work Will aeon cease. But all are one in ChriAlesua "of whom the Whole family in heaven and earth is named," -and'those who go tip to- their communion with God face to face, will have their places here filled with other workers, growing more numerous, more zealous, more successful. The spiritual temple shall gather its - living stones from every land, and grow up to its finished consummation. The voices of all the,holy in heaven and earth shall shout the top-stone to its place, orying, "Grace, grace unto it." " Every tongue shall con fess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."—President Hickok. MYSTERY, The fact that any doctrine involves a mystery is so far from constituting a fair ground for its rejection, that it agrees in this respect with many of the, most allowed troths of human science. For the distinc tion is nowyell understood between a truth being apprehended and its being compre hcnded. We apprehind or recognize a, fact, when we know it to he established by evidence, but cannot explain it by referring it to its cause. We comprehend or under• stand it, when we can view it in relation to its cause A thing which is not appre hended cannot be believed, but the analogy of our knowledge shows that we believe many things which we cannot explain or resolve into law. We know the law .of at traction which regulates the motion of the visible universe ; but no one can yet ex plain the nature of the attractive power which acts according to the law. Or, to add an example' from the worlu of organ ized nature. We know not in what consist the phenomena of sleep or of life ; and , we are equally ignorant of the. final causes which have led the Creator to lavish his gifts in creating thousands of species of the lower order of animals,, with few pro- perties of enjoyment or of use • or to scat ter in the unseen parts of the petals of flowers, the profusion of beautiful colors. In truth, the peculiarity of modern induc tive ,science is that it professes to explain nothing. It rests content with generali zing phenomena into their most compre hensive statements and there it pauses. It in no case connects them with an ultimale cause. And if truths are thus received undoubtingly in science,. when yet they . cannot be explained, why must an antece dent determination to disbelieve mystery in religion be allowed to outweigh any amount of positive evidence which can be adduced to substantiate those mysteries ? &Oat athars. i This is a personal in , Ivitation to the reader to ,examine our new styles of VINE CLOTHII4G Uas .simer Suits for $l6, and 'Black Suits for $22.
