Christian teaching come from many districts 'where
the foot of the white man has never yet trod.' The
Bible finds its way to those far•of}' places, and little
companies of Christians are gathered, who, increas

form th,-ir church government 'according to what
they understand from the teachings of the New
Testament. Of course with it all there is often much
ignorance, but always an intense desire for instruc

DR. DU FF ON THE STUART CASE.
The suspension of Mr. Geo. H. Stuart has elicit
ed numerous letters from some of the most dis
tinguished ministers and laymen in Great :Britain
as well as in America. Among them, none is
more worthy of attention than the following from
Rev. Dr. Alexander Duff. The high position of
the writer, one of the most eminent missionaries
of our own or any age. and the full acquaintance
which, us a minister of the Free Church of Scotland,
he has w;th the subject of Presbyterian worship
and discipline, give great value to his opinion in
regard to this matter. It will be observed; that
he takes precisely the ground which Mr. S. has
taken, and for which, ostensibly at least, the at
tempt has been made to dishonor him before the
world by ecclesiastical censure.
In this community, where he has long been so
highly loved and la mored, as well as in other
parts of the world where he is so extensively and
so favorably known, Hr. Stuart has been elevated
in public estimation by the proceedings of the
Synod against him. At his special and urgent
request, we omit the publication of pOrtions of
Dr. Puff's letter, in which he expresses his own
respect and love, and the feelings of British Chris
ti/MS.
11 BLENHEIM TERRACE, 1
SCARBOROUGH, July 29th, 1868. f
MY DEARLY BELOVED FRIEND-My having been
on the Continent for three months, and the heavy
pressure of urgent matters.demanding immediate at
tention on my return, will account for my. long si
lence.
But I can keep silence no longer. Several Ameri
can papers have reached me, conveying the most as
tounding intellio.ence—intelligence Which filled me
with surprise and dumb amazement..
What I my revered and honored friend * * * * *
actually suspended from Church ordinances and
Church fellowship I The first announcement of this
intelligence seemed really to cut my breath. Why,
I would as soon expect to find it recorded in history,
that George Washington, the Father of his Country,
had been suspended from his Presidential functions
by the Congress and Senate of the United States, or
to open my eyes to-morrow and find it declared in
the public journals that, to-day, our own beloved
Queen Victoria, had been suspended- from her Royal
functions by the Lords and Commons of Great Bri
tain I
What, thought I, could be the cause of such an
unexpected event? What awful catastrophe can
have befallen my friend? Had he been suddenly
overtaken by some grievous fault? Had he been
caught and overmastered' by-some resistless tempta
tion? No I No I It could not be. Such a charac
ter as his * * * * would not, in the-nature of things,
be thus suddenly shattered I What, then, could
have been the provocative cause of such a humilia
ting measure, as that of suspension from- Church, or= dinances, and that, too, by the highest occieeiastical
authority of the body of which he has so lOng' been
among the leading and foremost lay members?
Judge, then, of my fresh aurprise, but unspeakable
relief, when I found that the criminal offence—the
ecclesiastical or spiritual scandal on-account of ; which
my beloved friend was thus ignominiously- suspend
ded—was none other than—than the, stngtng of sa
cred hymns ! I
Really, had I not seen this announced -in more than
one journal, and seen it repeated, too, I would have
supp, , sed that it was the invention of some. malignant
enemy of God's truth— or a piece of good-humored
irony, after the fashion'of Chartvari or Punch I But
the internal evidence was too strong to enable me to
believe that it could be either. Oh, no; it seemed to
be a grave, veritable tact.
Ali, well, thought I with myself, neit, whatever
may have been the motive, object, or• end of the Ec
clesiastical Censors, I can see what may probably
turn out, under the over-ruling Providence of God,
to be the final cause or ultimate end of this ecclesias
tical sentence of condemnation. One of the greatest
foes of " pure religion and undefiled "—of brotherly
kindness and charity—of the Unity of the Church
Catholic and Communion of Saints—is bigotry—na'r
row-brained, narrdw-hearted bigotry. Well, in its
blind infatuation, it has been permitted to launch its
thunderbolt * * * * on purpose to raise such a
storm of indi.pationnas will tear it to &livers, and
cause it to be buried amid "the wreck of things that
were."
- .
Such, in my humble judgment, 'will be found,
sooner or later, to be the final cause or ultimate end,
as overruled by Proiiidencei of this most unique and
all but unparalleled 'case•Of ecclesiastical suspension I
On the vexed question of Psalm-singing versus
hymn-singing, I have neither time, nor heart to en
ter at any length : nor, had I. time pld heart for it,
is there any occasion .for. my doing op, There are two
extremes on the subject, both Of Which; 'think, and
always have thought, ought to be avoided.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1868.
GEO. SCOTT, S. C
gations and churches, in this country (England) that
seem to sing nothing but ilymns—meanin g by hymns,
sacred odes or songs, composed by men inibued by
the Spirit of God, such as the Weslevs, Cowpers,
Now, in my humble, but clear and honest judg
ment, both of these parties rob themselves of an in
estimable privilege—the one by never singing Psalms,
the other, by never singing Hymns. I would
myself, be always ready to sing either the one
or the other, according to time. place and circum
stance—suitableness to the frame of mind, or adapt
edness to the special occasion. But, while claiming
this liberty and privilege for myself, I would cheer
fully concede the same liberty and privilege to these
extremists. The case is one pre-eminently demand
ing a practical application of the memorable Apos
tolic exhortation, " Let every one be persuaded in
his own mind "—and be fully allowed to act accord
ingly.
As a treasury of praise and thanksgiving, and a
record of infinitely varied religious experiences, noth
ing, nothing is comparable to the Psalms of David.
Rather than forego the use of them, I would be pre
pared to submit to any sacrifice.
As bringing out more explicitly and more fully, in
the light of the New Testament economy and of Evan
gelical experience, the grand fundamental truths con
nected with Redemption through the blood and
righteousness of our adored Immanuel, and sanctifi
cation by the grace of the Holy Spirit, there are
many Hymns that are altogether invaluable. Rath
er than forego th'e use of these, I would also be pre
pared to subinit to almost any. sacrifice.
My own impression has, always been, that the right
thing for all our Churches to do. would be this, viz.:
for each Church, out of the 'Vaal: mass of existing
hymns,—in. Germany, amounting to literally tens of
thousands,—to select a certain tiumbera few scores
or a few hundreds, as the case might' be—of such
as it could set its imprimatur or seal upon, as
being sound in doctrine and sentiment, according to
its own views and interpretation of Holy Scripture.
Then publish these in a volume along with the Psalms
of David, which ought ever to be put in the forefront
as "given by Inspiration of God"—saying in sub
stance, "The Psalms of David need no authorization
from us, in order to be sung by individuals or con
gregations; they have already the impress. of God's
Holy Spirit. The Hymns, here selected, being coin
..
post d by uninspired men, yet men, for the most part,
full of faith and the Holy Ghost, we do not direct or
order to be sung either by individuals or congrega
tions ; we only state that, having carefully examined
them, we find them to be, in our judgment, scriptu
rally sound in 'doctrine and sentiment, and such,
therefore, as may be safely and profitably sung by
individuals or congregations who may be inclined or
disposed to do so "
What would be, more reasonable, more equitable,
more tolerant than a decision like this? It is, in
point of fact, what the Church of Scotland did many
years ago, when it appended Paraphrases, which are
just Hymns, to the Psalms • and did not order, but
simply authorized them to be sung by individuals or
congregations who chose to 'do so. This seems to
me the right way of solving and settling the whole
vexed question...
A Church or ecclesiistieal body may prohibit hymns
from being sung ; but such prohibition is' not wise.
So long as men's soul's are spiritually languid, it does
not signify much ; they will net trouble themselves
much about the singing of Psalms .or Hymns, or
singing anything_ at all. But let the fountains of
the great deep of old Nature be broken up in men's
souls, as under the earth=quake heavirms of a Mighty
revival, and the spiritual instincts let r ‘loose and in-.
tensified, will find for themselves vent in sacred song;
and cannot be restricted to Old Testament Psalms,
however incalculably precious in their own place.
Under the flow and current of spiritual.energy, the
prose of Scripture will often be used as a chant;
prayer will often become a sort of chant ; the glow
and fervor of inward feeling diffusing.a radiance over
all surrounding objects,and the visible manifestations
of grace in the awakened and converted—all, all will
be turned into matter—often it may be extempora
neously—of .sacred song. Under the stir and gush
of spiritual movement and excitement, let a hymnist
only strike up such a simple ode. with accompany
ing time, as that which begins with the familiar
words, " Nearer my God to thee "—and I venture to
say that the stiffest., the sternest, and the most exclu
sive Psalmist would, in spite , of himself, 'his prefer
ences and arite:e lent c.invictions, be carried along
with the tide'of "grs,t e, sweet melody,"—and almost
unconsciously, contribute his own quota to swell
the stream. •
Has not something of all this been actually expe
rienced in most of your great American revivals? It
was assuredly so in the time of the Reformation,
which was the greatest revival of religion, not only
in modern times; but since the day of the mighty
Pentecostal effusion.
Luth-r began his am az;ng career by singing hymns
as a boy ; he also composed hymns of his own in ri
per years, which• are still sung in the Protestant
Churches of Germany ; and 'of these hymns it has
been asserted, as an historical feet, that they carried
the precious truths of God's inspired word to many
hearts Ihich would never have been reached by pon ,
derous tomes of theology. But Luther was also a great
singer of Psalms ; and the 46th will ever.be known as
Lulher's favorite Psalm.
And we may rest assured, that, whether there be
revivals or not amongst. us, people will sing hymns
of some kind, whether Churches grant them liberty
to do so, or otherwise. And if they will not be wise
ly directed by ecclesiastical rulers to hymns that are
spiritually sound in doctrine, as well, as in the ex
pression of evangelical feeling ,and experience, they
will often, in their ignorance, carelessness or folly,
choose hymns for themselves, which May be very un
sound in doctrine, as well as in expression of religious
experience; and the singing of which, therefore, may
do no good, but 'much harm. Such are briefly my
own views on the subject. And rather than abandon
them, I would cheerfully stand, by your side, and be
rebtiked by any or all of the ecclesiastical conclaves
of Christendom. I remain, dearly beloved friend,
Yours very affectionately, -

$lO,OOO to $18,600 per mile, according to the• difiCulties to be sur
