JjliiSttttatm. DB. HUMPHREY'S PAREWELL SERMON. It is cause of regret, says the North-West ern Christian Advocate, to all the evangelical churches and pastors of this city, that Rev. 1. M. Humphrey, D.D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church, has felt that duty calls him to Philadelphia. His piety, faithfulness, unostentatious ability and genuine catholici ty have made him hosts of friends not only in his own Church and congregation, but in all. Ur- Humphrey is a modest man, de spising clap-trap, a conscientious student nnd an able preacher. This much we say as he goes from us, and while protending to no intimacy, yet we feel as if a real friend had gone from our side. We trust that in his new home nearer the ocean, his accomplished, Christian wife will find renewed and confirmed health, and that in his new field of labor his “ bow may abide in strength, and his hands be made strong from the mighty God of Jacob.” On Sabbath, March Ist, Dr. Humphrey preached his farewell sermon. The large church edifice was crowded. The people were sad. The sermon was of touching appropriateness. Tho text was Acts xxf 14: “ And when he weuld not be per suaded we ceased, saying, the will of the Lord be done.” We cannot give even a full outline, but we were struck with the candor and characteristic good sense with which ho treated the subject of pastoral changes, and we think our readers will feel that we have not erred in calling that por tion of the eloquent sermon, “A Plea for Itinerancy.” We thank the Dr. sincerely. He may not have meant so full and earnest an endorsement of our system, but he is not the first, though he may be among the chief of the many “ Who builded wiser than they knew.” We give some extracts from the sermon, as reported in the Republican, premising that the sub-heads are ours : REMOVALS NOT ALL EVIL. " Still another thought is, that the separa tion which seems to be final is not perfect. St. Paul left a part of himself wherever he wrought for Christ. He left not only the truth he proclaimed, but also himself; for that truth always bore the stamp of his own individuality. Michael Angelo is not lost to Rome, although he died long ago. He still remains there in the wonderful architecture of St. Peter's, and in the still more wonder ful frescoes with which the interiors of his architecture were adorned. We cannot build up any structure of thought without leaving on it the traces of the thinker. St. Peter’s, built by Leonardo da Vinci, would have been characteristically different from that which Michael Angelo built, though the same stones should have been laid in Its walls. The truths we hold may bo iden tical with those which others in distant places hold; and we hold them as they were communicated to us by men who shaped thorn in thoir own minds before they were communicated. In the same manner per sonal influences abide after he who exer cised them is gone. We feel not only their pressure, but also that Of the character of him from whom they come. Every personal influence is like the stroke of a die on a coin. It leaves a fixed image; it may be Cassar, it may be Xerxes. Mobl men’s lives are divided into chapters, and in each chap ter we have not only a record of what they did at certain periods and in certain places, but also what they were. In any one period of a man's life, you have the whole of him at that period. He is identified with the in terests which his life affects. His roots go out into the soil where for the time he is planted. He draws strength from his sur roundings, qnd he yields fruit where he abides. Bo far as he has personal character and force, just so far does he affect society. Transplant him, and some of his roots still remain, perhaps to send up new shoots when he is taken away. The seeds he has ma tured, good or bad, may still grow. One bad man in a community may be like a thistle, which curses broad acres. One good man may be like an oak, from whose acorns a whole forest may spring.” OHANGES INEVITABLE. “ In the present constitution of society, it is unavoidable that pastoral administrations shall be comparatively brief. Time was when the settlement of a pastor was consid ered as forming a life-long relation. The young pastor expected to mature and grow gray in one parish, and to be laid at last where the shadow of his own church-spire should sweep over his grave with each re volving day. He expected to marry, the children whom he baptized in his earlier ministry, and in his later days to baptize and perhaps marry their children in turn. And there was something indescribably beautiful in the long pastorates which were passed under such.a system. But those were the days of even and tranquil movement, be fore our population had become restless and migratory as now; before the currents of popular thought had become so swift and changeful; before the requirements made upon the ministry were so exacting, so wear ing upon nerve and. brain. .A congregation will not now be satisfied with the quieter, though pernaps more instructive preaching which flowed so evenly from the lips of our fathers. By railway and steamship we are carried hither and thither to all parts of our country, if not to all parts of the civilized world. We learn to compare the utterances oif the pulpit with which we are most famil iar, with those which are occupied by the most distinguished men. Every pastor feels that he is brought into a sort of competition with, not those only of his own town or city, but also with those of the whole land. Telegraphs and newspapers excite and quichen us all. We want the throb and “thrill in the sanctuary to which we are accus tomed in the avenue of trade. Popular m THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 1868. telligencc is increased, and it is morcdifficult to satisfy the requirements of people than it was when the week brought but its single dull newspaper, and the book-shelf held but its score of books. The change is, in some respects, unfortunate. The foundations of religious knowledge are laid, perhaps, less securely. Most readers know far less than they suppose. They acquire much without mastering anything. There is little room now for that significant old proverb, ‘ Be ware of the man of one book.’ But the re sult of this speedy running up of the struc tures of knowledge, however insecure the foundation, is an increased demand for that work in the pulpit which most readily wears out the vital forces. If the preacher does not or cannot satisfy his people, it is better that he should leave them. Even if he suc ceeds in this without physical prostration, it still remains that he does not long preach to the same people. His congregation fluc tuates like a quicksand. A few abide like the rock in the centre of the quicksand, while the greater portion come and go with the movements of the Bocial tide.” NO SERIOUS DAMAGE. “We are not, therefore, to regard the ac tual close of a pastor’s ministrations in a particular church, as being so much of a dis aster, as if society were more permanent— not so much as if from the necessities of the day such changes were not to be expected. What renders it natural that a pastor should be detached from his position, renders it the easier to supply his place.” CHANGE BENEFICIAL. “ After all that I have said, it may seem unfortunate that a pastorate closed when neither pastor nor people wish it should be terminated. But in view of these considera tions, it is" easy to believe that what neither party desires may be for the promotion of a common cause. In the great future of Chi cago other pastors may lead on this church through successive stages of growth and prosperity, more effectively than I could have ever led it, while, perhaps, my remain ing life may not be useless in another field. Let us be as hopeful and trustful as we have been submissive, in yielding to a mani fest necessity." ABOUT CANDIDATES. A Methodist editor could hardly write what follows without being liable to a charge of misunderstanding the facts in the case. We suspect the Doctor’s warning may be appropriate to some of our congre gations. t “In respect of obtaining the services of another pastor, allow me this word of coun sel—that you act through those to whom this special duty is committed. Also, that you receive no one into the pulpit as a can didate. There are very many who would be glad to preach here as candidates. Pos sibly you .may know of individuals whom you would be glad to introduco to the con gregation in this capacity. But with the ap pearance of every candidate, you will be thrown into a critical mood, and there is a possibility of division over every candidate presented. Let me assure you that the name of tho pastor who will best satisfy you is not to be found on any one possible list of candidates. He is either now occupying a field from which his people will regret to spare him, or his position is such for other reasons that he will not consent to appear before you as a candidate. You can never decide upon the merit of a preacher by hearing one or two discourses. His stroke may be twelve or it may be only one. You can always learn more of a minister through those who have long known him, than by a personal inspection of him, when both he and you feel that he is on exhibition. When Dr. Bethune, now of sacred memory, left the parish to which he had so long and success fully ministered in Philadelphia, he wrote to his people in the strongest terms upon this point. * Believe me,’ said he, ‘it is a very poor way to judge of a preacher’s qualifica tions on hearing once or twice in the pulpit. It is far better to choose one whom you have never seen, if he has the high esteem of his brethren as a faithful and able minis ter of the Hew Testament.' “Let me say, also, that it is unfortunate for' a church to be publicly known as in pur suit of this or that distinguished man. Whatever may be the movements of those who have the duty of inquiry in charge, they should be quietly made. No reporter should be allowed in any way to learn their secret. And when at last a call is definitely given no public announcement should be made of it until the purpose to accept it has been signified. “No ‘ child of this generation ’ Would be willing to have his attempts at important negotiations trumpeted to the world, espe cially if such attempts shonld, one after the other, prove failures. Why should not the ‘ children of light ’ be equally wise ?£Be sides, the selection of a pastor is not a mere matter of business. The leadings of God’s providence are to be sought. It is time enough to announce those leadings when you know what they are. Very likely they will not conduct you to this or that promi nent man, whose name may first occur to you. I believe that in this I have spoken the sentiment which is already entertained by the most of you, and which, on reflec tion, you will all approve." ■ - GOOD ADVICE. “ I have already expressed, in more ways than one, the hope that my departure will be no signal for dispersions among yon. Abide by .the ship; St. Paul gave that coun sel when his vessel wont to pieces. Abide by the ship, for it never rode more hopeful ly on the wave. Not a sail is split; not & spar is strained. Abide by the ship, for it needs you; and if you go you may havd cause to regret it. If any of you now think that you must leave it, wait until a new pas tor is obtained, and then decide.” LAST WORDS. All Methodist clergymen know the feeling with which th% Doctor pronounced these last words, so tender, so touching, so manly. A reference is made in them to Rev. E. A. Pearce, a devoted young minister of this city, who has recently died in the far South, whither he went in search of health : “ In leaving this sanctuary, I leave what is and always will be to me, one of the plea santest spots on earth. Ido not go as one goes from some dingy workshop, in which he has long been a foreman. Were I thus to go, I should still leave this place with re gret, for the mechanic becomes attached to his machinery, and has pleasant associations with the dusty windows through which he has been accustomed to look, and the black ened rafters which have held up tho roof above him. I leave this sanctuary as one leaves a delightful home, and this congrega tion as one leaves a beloved household. I can never go so far that I shall not be'able to review old scenes, and place myself by fancy among them again in one instant. Many a day I shall be in spirit in this pulpit again—in body, too, sometimes, let us hope: Many a day your familiar faces will be clear to the inward vision. Familiar voices shall float about me on the wave of sacred song. I shall hear touching interludes from the organ, plaintive or jubilant strains of volun taries. And then the scene will change. I shall be pleading with you once more in the name of Jesus, or I shall seem to stand beside the communion table, a wide circle of recent converts - around me, binding them selves by solemn covenant to God and to the Church, while beyond stand the cove nanting people, like a cloud of witnesses. And as that vision fades, another will ap pear. The communion table will bold but the baptismal basin. The circle around me will be one of Christian parents holding their long-robed babes, and one of the little ones will be in my arms, the water otf’ its brow, and the formula of baptism on my lips. Again, and there will be the fragrance of flowers all about me. The circle will be that of a bridal party, kneeling in prayer amid the hushed assembly. Again, and be hold the temple is filled with children, sing ing hosannas as of old. Or, in the chapel I shall be once more in the Sunday School, or in the prayer-meeting. Or in the Btudy, I shall be seated at the familiar desk, or standing at the library with hand upon some favorite volume. Or, through the doors of your homes I shall pass without so much as a shadow to tell you I am there. “ Watch for me if you believe the spirit’s presence is to be detected. Watch for me after the tidings of your special joys or sor rows have gone abroad. Watch for me as I come with a smile of congratulation or a tear of sympathy. Watch for me when on a visit to some new made grave. You have promised to see that the turf is green above those little graves I call my own. Shall I not also be looked for and felt, though not seen, beside those graves which are special ly dear to . Ah, brethren of the churches, do you know that much of the sadness of change would be removed, could we feel assured that the people we have served in the Lord would “ see that the turf is green above the graves we call our own.” You can often trace the pathway of the itinerant by the graves of his loved ones! They are the waymarks of his pilgrimage 1 His eye often fills with tears, as in some distant field he thinks of those graves and fears they are forgotten ! The itinerant has no family burial place. The mother and the child sleep far from each other, and too often, each in a neg lected grave. $2 to $6O. $2 to $6O. $3 TO $BO. thy.

We publish this caution to guard our customers against imposi tion. Accept none but Howe k Stevens’ Patent Family Dye Col ors. They «ro the original iuyeutors of an improvement which originated this branch of business, and made dying a domestic art. They have had, also, five years’ experience in this particular business, and have been constantly improving the quality of their Dyes. All the colors, both iu liquid and powder form, are manu factured by the undersigned, and we can supply our customers with either. The liquids do not require so much time in dying; but the powder colors will color the most goods, and cost the game per package.
