Paul declared that, under tho limits of liis commission as a preacher of the Gospel, 1 he became all. things, to airmen,'that by’all means he might save some. ' He was an eminent example of that coiiiprehensiyeriesi and versatility, cbmbiried‘ with”a good Com scicnce, which' is an element in the character of highest •uSefulneW. " AChurch firmed updef the controlling influence of such a mind, would feel it'not only apprb priate but*obligatory to adltpt itself, Withifi similar limitations, to the' age in which it; exists. It iS, we believe, the prompting Of tho trite Paulin'e' i’pi'rit, tb the Church in its'fe'pirit',"in it’s m'bde ’of ope ration, in its.'various'schem'es‘ J 'ahli r machiht cry, iu its outward 1 ' and ispeCt in the eyes : of-the'World', in * its 'ministry, mode of preaching, fttM fpfm Of' doctrinal belief, is adapted to the present age; is up with the Unies; is ealeulated highltist degree of useful, saving lhfliife'hce. up6‘n the generation to which it ' |r ” j: ' The characteris(iicS' 'bf : the;'hge ! which the Church (bust bbsbrve, and'‘t'6 Ifrhlhh'it" must adapt itself in'or'def to thh; highest e ; ffleieh r cy, arc such as the'rolloWingV '' ' ' 1.

'lt is an age i - ■ , o when learning is ih the hands' of'the'ene mies, equally with the friends, off the Church; an age in which 1 the'eneriiie9 of ‘thAClihrCh have paid'asprofouhd attention to the history and the sacred books of 1 Christianity, aif its iiiost gifted friend's have done, If in any one department, mote -than ah-, other, the Seientific' culture of t'K'C age Has shown itself hostile to Christranity/Itis : ihi that of natural science.

Now the Church itself, b'ythe'sfcimulating effects of its teachings upon the 1 ihrad', arid especially by the ‘Reformation 1 conjoined with the invention “of* printing/-hits really brought about this wide'difFusibFbf knowl edge and 'culture. 1 The men wHotsowed the seeds of rriddern 1 Sciehee • werb J ‘believers; some, like Newton and' K'epler, wbrC deeply pious men: And tho Church cannot remain insensible to so remarkable a revoluiib'n; i to which it so largely contributed;ahd.'firkich seems to thrcateAparricidal violence to the soureo from whence;',it sprung; , a •< qh y An instance. Of tho Chh-rch adapting itself to the times in this rGspect, is seen among our: Methodist brethren, who, but a, genera- : lion ago,' rather .plumed themselves upon their, want of book-learning, but whose min isters now find their way to Germany, even, to complete their theological education, and who are zealously shaping, all theic.;educa t ional arrangemon ts: .with, > a, ; vie wc .to the thorough culture of their,candidates for the,, ministry'. ... Paul himself'wah fully abreast of the lite rature and philosophy of his time; he could bold his own in disputing with the sophists of Ephesus, and could quote theirowipoetsi to the cultured, inquisitive and critical Ath rnians.

For more than a luonth all parties in the country have been' watching with interest for the result of the first gteat trial of negro suffrage in ttiiS country and in the'“world, which has just taken place in Tennessee: It was an experiment on Which hung the re putation of the enfranchised race, the gene ral judgment upon the policy of’elevating them 1 to Citizenship’and upon the wisdom of the Republican party, in 1 this itslaM and most decisive measure. ’Perhaps, too, the fate of the party itself hung upon the re sult. That result is n'ow knowii, and is a glori ous triumph for thAcolored race in America, and for the party which has elevated and befriended them: The eleetihn which took place a week ago, August T, Was 1 one of the most peaceful and orderly ever known in ’any part of the country. 1 All the. Republican-Congressmen are elected, by an aggregate majority of 50,- 000." The State Legislature Ms also thor oughly Republican, and Governor Rrownk>w is re-elected." This is a bright omen for the reconstructed’'South, and’ for the future Of oiir Republic.
