I pray7tiighty God to assist my understandleg and en alThe me to speak as I ought to-speak on a tippet of such greet magnitude ana•Tital impost/inn to all. In pursuing our subject, we propose to take it up in thelollowing order In the first place, we shall speak of peace. Secondly, of the peace makers. Thirdly, the blessings conferred upon them. let. Perfoot peace , oottsists of that state ithet,is whoVy and rely free ffoin every eying or warrig "element that can pee , sibly ictertmt our joys or Inflict the finial lest *WM of pain.' Perfect peace - - can only be possessed and enjoyed ...by" perfect beings, in a state oi.perfernr - ioeiety, sur rounded by congenial elements, and hence cannot be found in-thid sin polluted vcrrld of mipory end4ite. It dwells in God who is the fountain head et peace, and from His goodness, love and Mercy, tale ohild of grace, this heaven born . spirit, that warms and inspires all the heav enly host that surrotind the throne of Om nipotence and fill heaven with joys unspeak able and full of glory, is sent down to earth to dwell with man, to shed its genial bles sings upon his heart,. to control his turbu lent passions and cheer him, to chase away his gloomy forebodings, to lead him on in the paths of peace unto that rest which God bath prepared for all that' love Him. In vain does the wayworn pilgrim, throughout this world and wilderness of sin, look for peace from the surrounding elements that can only fill his path with thorns and pierce his heart with sorrows; bet when by faith he can look through and beyond the vale'of tears and behold his Father and God en throned on high and hear the voice of peace assuring his desponding soul, that though ie our lot " in this world to have tribula tion, get in God 'you shall have peape;" at ho will extend peace unto you like a riv " and you shall ere long reap the peaceab ..fruits of righteousness. 'Then does he lift his heed and rejoice, know ing that his rectemption draweth nigh,. and as far as in him lie tolive peaceably with all men, to deal justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with his God. 'g k ennty first proposition is,"thst God is the author of peace, and eonsequentiris not and, eanitot be either directly or indirectly, the author of war, which is the antagoniste and opposite of peace. - That God is the author of peace, none dare deny. This be ing granted, the other follows as a logical consequence. The Apostle James affirms that the same fountain cannot send forth sweet and bitter water, and Paul declares that God is no. the author of confusion, but of peace. You will undoubtedly inquire, then, from whom come those cruel ware and fightings that have so often deluged the earth in hu man blood? The Apostle James asked and - answered that identical question, over eigh teen hundred years ago. Ho asks, from whenoo comes wars and fighting Now note the answer ; let it sink deep into every heart, for it is the voice of inspiration.— Hear it, then, ye advocates-of war : " Come they aot,evert of your own lusts?" here you have the question infallibly answered L all the war, fighting and bloodshed, that have ever cursed the world have been en gendered and carried on by the cruel' lusts of mitt. Those lusts come not from God, bp' are to be imbed to another and opposite fountAin. When the morning of creation dawned, and Omnipotence, by the word of Ills power, called into being this vast crea tion, and• in wisdom fashioned all its parts, in beauty and harmony, peace reigned throughout the vast enpizeofJelitrah, and the morning damning tOgether for joy.— Nets dimmrdant eldment was found. in the vast domain; And,ooll beholding all this inignifittentaisucture,...thalre of o*n hinutt, frOnolthoed it verj good.

Thus was m ilthiehed the stupendous work of ea crtion, God pronounoed it all very. good. • Whence then dame lust, the very lush of war ? The sequel of hietei7 will answer the question.

Our second pAtion is that all lust. pqr4 and btoodotot that Aavicursed Me world, are of antifrom the devil. I repeat, that all the lust, war and.bloodshed that ever mimed the human himily,Areof and from the devil, and all those who'sre practising lusts, en couraging and promoting war and blood :died, are notintlueueed thereto by any ha poles of the Almighty; but are prompted to those helliih depds, by the spirit of Iniquity that works in the ohildron of disobedience. There.are some facts that we- sholdd never lose sight of, but keep them always in view : let. That, the shedding ofehtiman- blood Is the greatest crime that a man can commit against God. In Genesis 9th chapter,' be ginning at the Bth Torte, We Ind- these re markablelsords t I .4„nd surely_latu ,blood of your tins will I require ; at the hand of beast will I require it, and. at tie hand of man, and at the hand of every men's brother will' I require, the lifo of man.— Whoeo sheddeth man's blood' , by man shall his - blood beached; for in the image 04 God made Ile mom",' Then, 2d. Wh6soever 'sheddoth man's blood, as far as indtim item, desecrates the image of God and cannot es cape hisjudgment. Bd. The fearful respon sibility of all the human blood shed from righteous Abel down to this day rests upon some persons ; none should flatter them selves that they can escape Billet retribution, the record of crime it made out•in heovint, and though the stroke of vengeance may be delayed for a time yet fall it must, with all its terrible cease. uen •._ • t • party. 1 o you as ~ "are we told in holy writ that God has reputedly visited the-na tions of the earth With a war as a scourge for their disobedience ; if not the &nth.* of war, how are we t'o account for these ma'am glib" _ X.LtaiLer,ite iteta,dr__Ween , na tions as a scourge, and in some instances. to a ohastisement upon 1110 children, in the same way He brought Joseph into Egypt, to save his father Jacob and all his family, alive during the seven yearg famine ; see Genesis, beginning at the 371liohapter. '', As lie hardoned`the heart of l'haroh, that,H. should dot lot His people of Israel-la, to the intent that He might magnifyilis power in bringing them out of bendage with a strong band. As Ile putifis own eon to death ,on the cross, by whose blood He- has made perfect foreye Glom that are sanctified, and thus laitt - broad and deep the foundation of the Christian's hope. I These instances ofbible history I have se lected nde because they stand alone,- but:be cause they are perhaps the most familiar to your minds, and very clearly illustrate what otherwise 'would appear God's moat mysteri ous providential dealing' with the human family. • • '' It was not by any impulse or agency of God., that put it into the hearts of Joseph's brut roil to sell fiim into Egyptian bondage, Ile hardened not the boartof Pharoh by any divine impulse or impression produced by His own agency, neither did He incline the hearts of the Jews to hate and persecutallie . son, nor put it into the heart of Judas to betray his master. It was not His - spirit that inspred the winked mob that nailed Him to the cross, and stood beholding and deriding Him in his agony. But in all these instances Ile-only withdrew His re straining power that holds in subjection the lusts and evil passions of the heart of man, and suffered them to act out .the accursed lusts that wets already within them, and in this way He deals With nations and indi- 1 viduals, causing the wrath of mtri to praise Him, and restraining the'remainder of the wrath, But we are not to infer because God suf fers men to 'inflict cruel wars and punish ments upon each other, and often upon hie children as a chastisement, that the perpe trators of those crimes and cruelties, are any the less 'l:width's.' because God has over ruled it for tied good of his children and the fulfillment of his purposes. It is not by the final result of a man's act that ho is to be judged, but it is the motive by which he is governed, and that prompts him to not, that stamps the moral character of his action. To illustrate; a man by physical I force, performs en act that results in taking 1 the life of his neighbor. That, foot of itself does not convict that man of murder, and no °Curt would Qll such testimony so deft° but another question arises. teat - must de termine bit gnilt or innocence, to wit': from what motive did 'the man act in performing the deed ? If from malice aforethought, then it is murder, if from either motives 'the verdict will vary accordingly. ~ The truth is the act must be committed by the mental Man, or it atlases to be crime; morally cron sidered, 'the orime is consummated when the motive or determination is formed in the heart ; a maanny ceuunit murder irr the sight of God, and dread convicted of the Grime before Him without over having shod human blood. He that is angry with his brother without cause is a murderer accor ding to the.teaohings . of Christ. Joseph's brethren had it in their hearts to destroy him, and though rentrainqLl by the provi dent* of God, were guilty of the crime. The sews and their rulers, that conspired to de stroy Christ and,bis ddotrino from the earth, being filled with malice and hellish. rage, anti rejected all his teaching and heavenly dootrine, were suffered to vontlheir spleen fiaindlioting upon him the most cruel tor tare, until-he found rest in the arms of death. In this they committed the brightest crime known to any law human or divine, yet the •Apostle affirms that they were gathered .to gether to do what God's hand and council before determined should be done. 1 - From the foregoing facts and illustrations It la alearlY_lleintliudrated_that ..iny_..aeconsl., proposition is true, that all the lusts, w add bloddshed, that have' aver (inroad the human family are of and from the Devil. i 2nd.

In reference to this fanatical, religious and itecursed seed the savior declared that all the 'bloodshed from riteous Abel down to Zechariah, whom they blew between the temple And the attar, should &me upon that generation." It was the same fell monster that filled the Jews with religious halted against the Son nf God, the Prince of Peace, at z&oee-bileth , the hoses-seng-untliems of psaise,' saying "Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace and good will to man." They hated and *smutted him for no wise en der heaven, only that he dared to teach pub-- Holy a doctrine and practice contrary to the °bombed religion's fanaticism ; this was his only crime; that in thaireetiimition render ed him unit to live, and justified them in heaping upon him all the abuse aud•slander that men and devils could invent ; and per.. scenting him with fiendlike malice until by met:violence and false testimony, they prp oared Prom the Roman judge a sentence of death. 'Pilate, the Igftlge testified that he found no fault in bite, but feared the mul titude, and relnetantly yielded to the de mand er the mob, which vented its spleen Lure that demons could invent ; and this was all done under the plea of serving God. This has been the plea of anti-Christ under Odell it has tyrannized-weer the world, deluging the earth with blood and crime, the record of Whiolutik t es up the darer pigs of his, tory, t',e ;edltal of which - id enough fp shook humanity, and, ir_it Were possible, tb Make devils blush with shame. Think -Ara that this God dishonoring scourge of the earth' has diod out, left the world, or in any degree betomo reformed. I tellyou no ! The monster still lives, enters in and controls the popular rcliglin o f the day. I regret to say, but my an to my God and the cause of truth compels me to. It is a self-evident fact' that needs n 9 proof, that the :argent portion of the clergy of our day, who profess to proclaim thegos psi of peace, and point out to erring man the way of holiness- and of life, happiness, joy, and pence; who, instead of laboring° cultivate love, peace, and good will among men, and exhorting Christians as much as in.tbem lies to live peaceably with all men, to love their enemies, pray for them that hate them, and do good to them that despic ably Use thorn; and, in-a word, to love God with all their might, mind and strength, and their neighbors as themselves, are, te. day, and have for yours, been engaged in building up sectional hate, appealing to the baser passionsX the human heart, sray ing brother a gainst brother, produoing in the churches discord, division, and proscrib ing and consigning to endless perdition all who may honestly differ with them in either faith or practice. liut, not content with stirring up war, distress and disunion in churches, that have rent. them in fragments, .they assurnetr to' be God's, ticogorents, to dictate the policy and shape the politioar destinieteof nations, declaring their.psculiar religion to bo a higher law to which all con stitutions and laws must bow. . . . how far they have succeded in their base and unholy work let the groans and agony of a nation in ttlf death strugght, the blood of hundreds of thousands of our eons and brothers that crimson our soil, the deep wails of widowed mothers who press their little ones near their heart while the tears fall fast upon the cheeks of those little ones crying for bread, answer the question. It is by this anti-Christian infiuehoe Mar men have been educated to hate pure and undefiled religion, to desecrate tlfo house of God and make It a den of thiefelf:' Many there are in out midst who make long pray ers for a pretense and to be hehrd and seen• of men, yet urging their fellow men to fin true their hands In their brother's blood, and blasphemously callit a holy work. And here permit me to offer en apology to• that class of men called skeptics, who ignore all' religion, and call it priest-craft and delu sion ; very many believe that the Infidel, as such aro Galled, are a set of ' ignoramuses who are unlcarned, or that they are wanting to intelleat, we are incapable of deep thought or thorough investigation ; but this is a grave error. My obseruation convinces me that alarge majority of that elate; of mon are of good intellect and close observers, and if ,iliere aro any such here, I will say to you that I wonder not that -when you read the history of 'what bee been termed the Reltgion of Christ and note the ttranny, fraud, and endless,eatalogne of crimes—the most revolting that. ever polluted the earth —all perpetrated in the name of God and under sanction bf what bas been termed his Holy Religion, I repeat, I wonder not that you are Shocked at the picture, and turn from the arena in abhorrence and disgust, and say In your heart that religion is a fa-, blo, gotten up by designing and wicked men,. and had been a greeter curse to man than till things else etenbined. This, sirs, is true to the letter of that spurious, fanatical, 'anti-Christian religion of whioh we have been 'epeaktvfg ; that which the Apostle James calls earthly, sensual, devilish. But this religion comes not from Goat.

Thh . fruits of the spirit. of God that dwells in and con trol's all christians, are antagonistic to elle spirit of war; they are thus desctibed-tcy the Apostle Paul, Gal. Chap. b, 'Verse : "But the fruit of the spirit ',clove, joy, peace, long, suffering, geutleftesp, goodness, faith, meekness, tempereince; against such there is no law." flare we have ti catalogue of the fundamental principles that govern MTV 'futons; t'•• at, Aristians; the eiementaryArinmpice of the rietiee of Christianity, and hero I re feat that all who are, and necessarily must s be peacemakers. Peace is the element. in I which they live, move and haze their„boing,' those heavirilblesked principles mint be. crush - dratt of the heart of man before lie can wilfully shed his neighbor's blood, or deprive him of his llbertyur the pursuit of happiness. It. is a paradpx' to• say thdt a man who loves his neighbor as himself can del.boratoly plunge a dagger into his heart. Then it is as clear as noonday's sun, that all those who are engaged in stirring up strifet:urging and advosating_war, whether in ohurches, familieh, neighborhoods or no- Ho r ns have ignored every prindiplo of the Christian religion, and are but obeying their own wicked lusts. . . It Is true that thorn is a war that Christ requires all his children - to engnge in ; but it Is not a war with clashing steel, and glit tering ;swords, with powder and ball, and the destruction of human life on the blood stagne4 field, where brother engages against brother in the deadly strife, amidst the groans and turony of the bleedingand dying soldiers, that crimson the earth with their heart's .blood: No! .I—Upon all Koh scenes Christianity can onl'y.look with horror and dismay, and weep tears of compassioil over the misery produced by the demon war. Elbe turns in sadness away from the heaven ridd ing scene, and In humility and sadness of heart, she-bows before the God -ofpeace, andimploringly betteeohes him in m ercy , to restrain the angry passions of men, restore brotherly love between the contesting parties, and thus stay the effusion of blood, and restore peace and quietness to the land. The Christian's warfare is very different •frutti that litst defirtjleed,l io it is a war against our own lusts • against spiritual - wicked ness in high paces, against the world, the flesh and the devil; and the weapons of their warfare are not carnal but mighty through God, to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imagination and every high thing that exaltoth itself against the knowl edge of God, and bringing, into captivity every thought in obedience td Christ: 2d Cor. 10th Chap. 4th and 6th verses. The Word of God is the sword, afid through the love of God, and by the blood of the Lamb, they shall overcome all things and shout viol oty. Every success of Christianity to a cettain extent defeats the war spirit of the world ; and its triumphs shall become universal, as many believe they will, thou shall this child of hell be bn?ishod from the earth, and men shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and their spears • into pruning hooks, and no- Gone shall learn war no more." Love, peace and good 'will shall reign oh earth, univer sally among soon. May God speed the day ! Then all who labor in the gospel field, or arc engaged in practicing °brim! htnity, are peacemakers, and entitled to the blessing promised in our text, 'They shall be called the children of God." • This briugs us to the third proposition of our text. The blessings conferred upon the peace makers, "They shall be called the children of God." We aro not to understand from this appellation that it is an empty title or name that men can assume and appropriate to.themsolves, or confer upon others, that will entitle them to the bleevings that god confers upon his children—it is au, endear ing title that none but,God, the Father, can give, a name more precious than the . Wheat angel on high can claim; to none of the heavenly host, oven Gabriel has., he over said, ...Thou Art my son." What a rich in heritance' what a treasure of, grace, is - Con= tained in that proolotts name. If God is my Father, then I have a place in his paternal love, and may justly claim all the honor of my heavenly pare'ntago, and of this I may boast. You may oast my name otir as evil, call me a traitor, maim° anything, Podr on your vile abuse, I care not. for it; let me but be owned'a child by my heavenly father, and I Will cheat:Wilma those light agile ous, lamming that_ they,work_a_far,...inar exceeding a eternal weight of 'glory.
