We allays take up the Presbyterian Quarterly with interest. There is ;a directness and spright liness in its articles, which makes it attractive Poe the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate. Is the Power of the Pulpit Waning? This inquiry we most unhesitatingly an swer in the negative. Never, since the days of the apostles, has there been a period when more of the real elements of power met in the pulpit, than now. Denominations that once openly and zeal ously contemned all College culture in ;the ministry, have of late suffered their views to undergo.a radical change for the better. And individuals who once scoffed at the idea. of candidates for holy orders spending y'eam, in scholastio pursuits, to secure , the necessa ry intellectual furniture to fit them for the awfully responsible stations,of Divine ambas sadors,, are now loudest in their : approval of the most rigid mental discipline, and the• most thorough development and test of all the powers of the mind, prior to liconsure. Rollers' and revilers of Colleges and Cal vin, are dully diminishing. The time was, when their number was • great. Then they had but a meagre modicum of moral power, either in the pulpit or out of it. Now, hav ing become the fast friends, both of sound learning and doctrinal knowledge, there has, with the change of their views, come an increase of their power over all thoughtful and intelligent minds. So far is there is power in intellect of the first order, in profound learning, polished elo cution, %general information, and talent of every shade and kind, the pulpit of the present day is far in advance of its state in former years. The style and manner of some of the leading writers and speakers of times gone by, Would scarcely be tolerated now, even by the pious and devout. Not onlyiso, - but even the. morals of many who were then 'Church members, would now be censured by professors, whom we- by no means regard as peculiarly conscientious. This may be - denied; it is nevertheless true, as a reference to, tie ecclesiastical records of those times will clearly. attest. The revolting accounts of intemperance, licentiousness, dishonesty, falsehood, decep. Lion,quarrels, revenge, hatred, spite, envy, proanity, vulgarity; indeed, sin of almost every kind, therein recorded as having been practiced, not only by lay members of the Chuich, but by some in high official stations also, certainly go to prove that the pulpit now is more powerful over man than it MS then. If this were not so, the counter agencies of a special kind, brought by Satan to bear against the Church now, would soon overcome it, and the gates. of hell would prevail over Zion. But to the Church, as well as the individual Christian, is that rich promise made good which says, According to thy day, thy strength shall be. Far be iffrom us to deny, but that in the moral heas ens of the past, there shone stars of the first magnitude, both lay and cleri cal ; but we are taking a view of the Church as it once appeared in its general and not in its individual aspect. And tliis view clearly proves, that much as wickedness and scandal pervade the lower walks of society, in these modern times, they are by no means so common as they once were among Chris tian professors, and ehurch-going people gen erally. Sessions, Presb3rteries, Synods, and Assemblies are not called on now, as former ly, blessed be God, to spend wearisome days, and weeks, in the investigation of judicial .eases,' developing immoralities of the most revolting character, originating, too, in some trifling matter, which the pulpit seemed to lack power to control. The time was, when such business consumed'the greater part of the whole time of the sittings of our Church Cotirts. Now, their' time is, as a general thing, occupied in the more pleasing and reofitable task of hearing and considering porti from Committees appointed to devise the best means to extend the Church; and And in what way the Boards, and all the \rms of the Church, may have their strength std. efficiency increased. ‘ at the pew, contains much evil, and the P it much feebleness yet, is by no means de a; but, goodne.ss is gradually growing in t bne, and power in the other. There. fere l the troubles of .the. past Past *ill no more be caned up to the Church Courts of the future. An evil which, by the time it would 'each the General Assembly, would have as nied the horrid .coil and terror of a huge.. b -constrictor ,, can be crushed to death in moment, by the heel of the pul pit's pit's pow 7 as it first creeps, young and -tender; fro the egg of the anake-nest of some serpe iin the congregation. By a wise watchful*, and a judicious movement in the pulpit, \wful conflagrations, such as arise merely fro, ' a,spark, but which spread throughout the thole land, carrying moral , destfintion,and Aath in their course, may be readily extingui,W.

These are God's plowmen. They break up the new and hard ground of the heart. They grub, too, and clear away those stumps and rocks that nature leaves in the -great field that the minister has to sow. Truly, they are a useful class of workmen, and are worthy of their hire. . Every good book, religions journal, and periodical that gains a reading in a family or congregation, adds power to the pulpit. And every minister that is not urgently solicitous for the general circulation of such seeds of power, is blind to his own interest, as well as to the great cause of truth. A family in the Church, without religious books and newspapers, is like a thorn thicket in the midst of a wheat field, or a miasmatic swamp in the centre of a grass plot, or a black spot on the disk of the sun. A whole congregation without Church journals, is a cold, dark, bleak, moral desert. Woe, woe, to the poor son of Levi, who is unfortunate enough to, be 'called to , stand in the pulpit of such a place. He may thun der, and and lighten, and labor for years, an produce no lasting effects, for the people will just, sleep on, and on, and ori. God bless the Colporteur, and the Editor, and the Professor, for they are the great pro moters of the pulpit's power ! The pulpit of the present day needs only, a re-baptism from . above, to make it omnipo tent to the end of its institution. Humanly speaking, it has within it all that is beauti ful in poetry, profound in philosophy, rich in history, powerful in logic, sublime in elo ,fpience, glowing in imagination, persuasive in love, and pure in truth.,. All , learning, ancient and modern, secular and sacred; all nature, with her rich kingdoms, and store houses of 'wealth ; and all heaven, with its grace, light, and glory, stand ready to pour their combined influences through the pul pit, into the minds of men. What an en viable position is the minister's as he stands in the sacred desk, holding in one hand the charter of salvation, , and in the other the key of all knowledge, wisdom, and power ! The richest benefits of the Divine grace-at tend his ministrations, and. thelwo leaved gates of glory are opened at his behests ! Why, then, it may bunked, is the pulpit so feeble in some localities ? For numerous are the places where; t puts : forth or no influence on the masses. It may be an swered, that special exceptions are no inval idation of general truths. And yet, it must be 'admitted,r that ' not a few - ministers do most shamefully fail. They neglect their duties, or they pander to the vitiated tastes of their people. A people often fancy them selves gifted with an uncommon amount of intellectual refinement. They call a minis ter of the boa ton. order, and expect of him sermons to their taste. They look rather for graceful , manners in the man, than for the doctrines of grace in his message. A short, jingling, generalizing, meaningless essay, on some fantastic topic of the day, is mis-named an 4, exquisitely beautiful ser mon." lisuch a place, it would be as vain to look for power in the pulpit, , as for piety in the pew... The. sermon may be beautiful, but it reaches not the heart. It is not a production of the warm breathings of the true minister of Jesus Christ. Stich a pul pit has no power for good. Dreadful are the responsibilities of the man ; and sad is the condition of the people. Again : • The power of the pipit is crip pled, when either minister or people view Christianity as a dry code of outward morals, or a bald system of didactic .truths, er con eider " religion a mere compend of specific statutes. This is to forget that the soul needs nourishment, and that the GOSPEL is the rich provender that the good and.-great' Shepherd has furnished. Religion has warmth for man's emotional, as well as light for his intellectual nature. Alas I also, what cold,, speculative light flickers from the •pulpit in some would-be thought refined places I and how the worldly conformity of the people is fitly matched by the secularization of the minister And many there are who love intellectual enter tainment more than spiritual instruction. And the tickling of their ears is more agreea ble to them than the improvement of their hearts. Rather would they see the towers of rhetoric in a pulpit discourse,,than behold the Dose of Sharon or the Lily of the And another class there is, with whom the E pulpit seems to have but e power. They are self-styled free-thinkers. 'They consider religion, worship, the soul, immortality, nothing. These are they whom ,a vain phi losophy has spoiled. Their creed is abom inable ; at • one time as licentious as the Epicureans; at another, as snappish, as the Cynics; and at another, as unimpassioned as the Stoics ! 'They set their -vain Reason above Divine Revelation, and turn a most impertinent sneer at the truth, saying to the God of the Bible, " Kant, and Hegel, and Sehelling, and La Compte, we know; but , who art thou.?" • Such foes, the rilpit may, pity, but it need not dread. The sword of the Spirit has conquered greater,giants than they. A greater than' David'S sling is now in the hand of the weakeSt stripling found in the ranks of the Israel of God. Let ministers only have faith •in , the efficiency of " the sword of the Spirit," and strike every form of error with a direct aim, a steady arm, and a fearless heart, and soon the leagued hosts of darkness will turn and flee be fore the waxing glories of the pulpit's Dower.

MY DEAR LITTLE PRUNES :-- The merry, merry holidays are now pasta Still, I oan easily think how happy you have been, 'giving and receiving your nice presents, es pecially about Pittsburgh. But now I sup pose all are settled down to study, again ; and after your, lessons are learned, these long evenings, I presume you still have a little time for reading besides. Well, this lovely morning, that seems here more like your May days than January, I am going to tell you how we spent Christ mas away out in the far, far West. , But, first of all, you will wish to know where we are situated. Then, take your map, and look for Fort Gibson, near , Arkansas; and ten miles West of that, , and something like -two thousand miles from -where your paper is published, yon might find a large mission house, capable of accommodating more than one hundred persons. The number of pupils in school, is eighty-three; forty-five boys and thirty-eight girls, nearly all boarders; with eight missionaries. A few years ago , nearly, if not, all, the poor Creek Indians were living in a s t a t e o f ignorance of God and their duties to, him ; and even, now many of them call:Christmas "Big Sunday;" and pay more respect to it than to the holy Sabbath.' Therefore, Mr., 'Ungirridge `4ltriled the= , difference to scholars eveilingigifOteL and suggested some ways of spending the day pleasantly and profitably. All then retired as usual, and I heard no more of the anticipated enjoyment until the rising bell gave its first tap. Then the joy-, ous shout of a merry Christmas rang through the girls' apartment, and was again and again re-echoed, on meeting the smiling faces of their teachers. Muck .curiosity was excited concerning some preparations they thought were making for their entertainment,-'' and, when all were completed, and they arranged in nice order, they were conducted to the large school room, and, to their great surprise, found it ornamented with evergreens, and in different, parts nice cedar trees, that seemed to have' sprung up in a night; and, more than all, loaded with fine, rosy-looking apples. In the centre of the^ room was a long table, spread with what I:know.you.would call good things. And first the apples at each end, put up in' the form of a pyramid ; then sweetmeats and in the centre a large cake, surrounded by smaller ones, and all tastefully decorated with evergreens; and last, though 110 t least, bordering the whole, a row of nicely-iced cup cakes, with the: number of.each scholar put on, with candies of various colors. Here all were allowed to feast their eyes for a little time, while listening to sweet music , from the melodeon, and tine addresses by mils sionaries. I. would love Ad tell you , much they said, but time would fail. Let me.ortly say, Mr. L.'s remarks'were founded on the words "Set your mark high';" and would not this be a good• motto for you Mr. Wensiett ap . excellent Indian man, our, interpreter, spoke in the native language, and, as I learned, contrasted the happy scenes that surround these yottth, with some of his boyhoed days; and the happy expression of their countenances told how ninth they were pleased. Then came the refreshments, and you may be sure all were delighted. As . I was, but a stranger here then, I Marked particularly-the good order observed by all the scholars; and as many of them have attained the. .size of those you would call younk ladies and gentlemen, really thought they deserved the name, too. The afternoon was spent in walking, and different amusements, and after a good supper, .prepared mostly ,by' the 'lndian girls own hands, the . evening ..was „passed ' away - viewing many beautiful Scripture il lustrations, by the aid of the magic lantern. Many, questions were asked, and the prompt answers given. by `scholars ,showed Lno little knowledge of Scripture history. There was onehowever, I wish you to think •whether it . was correct.., . When asked what kind of food, the birds brought to Elijah, some one said " Sofka," or boiled hominy, the Indian's favorite dish. This mode of spend ing the 'day has been adopted to prevent them-from wishing to go horne, where many would spend weeks, perhapk, in a very im proper ,manner; and now we find all are Contented and happy.. - .There are many, very many, things I -would love to tell you 'about these ludian boys girls, as to their appearance, their schools, their work, their amusements, &e.i &a., but I fear I hive already wearied your patience ; and I must wait till Bora future time. • But just let me say I have care of the girls out of school, and a few days ago Mr. L. gave me a name for one of them. I called her to my room, and asked how she would like to have a new name ?. Then her eyes brightened:with pleasure; and she said, " I will be a goodogirl if you call me Hetty Wilson." This is the name ,Of a lady sent by a Sabbath School far away in 'Virginia, who contribute -twenty-five or thirty dollars yearly, to aid in supporting an Indian girl. Now, we have others here, who would no doubt love to exchange • a single, or 'perhaps a rude Indian- name, for that of some of your good ladies, or little misses, and will I not you go and do likewise? and be assured everything possible will be done to have them become worthy of your names. Many of them love to write letters, and still more to receive them . and anything in teresting concerning yourselves, or Sabbath Schools, will be read with the greatest Plea sure, and maybee directed to my` Arc ' at. Creek Agency, West Of Arkansas. have just read a letter of one of tile girls to the lady for whom she was named in New Or leans. I thought it very good for one who could not speak a single, word of English five years ago. She is studying some of the higher branches. Now I must close; and,-above all things, let me say, do not forgetto pray for the poor Creek Indians. Oh 1 you do not know how much they need your prayers ; and for your encouragement, let me tell- you, that at a late communion, quite a number of the girls attended inquiry meeting, and said they wished to, be Christians. Only 'four of the scholars are members of the Church. From yours truly, M. H.: &MEAN. -, i%tillantous. Pittotial•Presching. ,We have heard of various specimens of negro eloquence in our time, but never se tually listened to the illustration till yester day. Dropping into an African meeting house, . we, found the sermon just Com menced. The toile seemed to be the de priiity of the human heart, and the sable. Divine thus illustrated his argument: " Bredren; when I was in Virginy,, one day de.old:woman's kitchen tablesokbroke, an' I was sent into de woods to out a tree; to make a -new leaf for it. So I took de axe on de shoulder, and I wander into de deeps of de forest. "411 nature was as beautiful as a lady going to de wedding. De leaves glistened on the maple trees like new quarter dollars in de missionary box ; de sun shone as bril liant, and nature +looked as gay.as a buck rabbit in a parsley. garden; and de little bell round de ole sheep's neck tinkled softly and musically in de distance. "I spied' a tree suitable for de purpose, and I raised de axe to cut 'into de trunk. It was a beautiful tree ! De branches reached to de four corners of de earth, and raise;up high tode air above,, and de equir'ls hop about in de limbs like little angels flop ping deir wings in de kingdom ob heaven. Dat tree, was 'full, ob promise, my friends, just like a great many oh you. • ",Den I out into de trunk, and made de chips fly like de mighty scalps dropping from Paul's ; .eyes. Two, ihree. out I gave dat tree, and alas, it was holler in de butt ! "Dat tree was much like you, my friends —full oh .promise. outside, but holler in de butt !" Ministerial Hit. A renowned clergyman, not a thotrand miles from this city, lately preached rather a long sermon from the teat, 4 4 Thou art weighed and .found warding." After the oongregation 'had listened , about an hour, some' began .to get Weary; and 'went nut others ! Foo4 followed, greatly .to the annoy ance of the, minister. Another, person . statird j lwhernupon , tits patonn.stopped in hit sermon, and said, "That is ' right, gentle men ; as fast as you are weighed ? pass out l" He continued his sermon at some length after that, but no one disturbed him by leaying.

The Publishers would call the special attention of Clergy men, and others. to ;ClllO or pie peculiar features of this great work. 1. It is a concordance of "objects, not of words. In this respect, it differs entirely from the common concordance; neither is, thirefore, a substitute for the other, and both are indispensable as a part of Biblical apparatus. 2. It embraces all the topics, secular as well as religions, naturally suggested by the entire contents of the In this respect It differs from Sorooture Manuals and Topical Test-Books, which are confine{ to theological or doctrinal topics. 3. It contains the entire contents. of the Bibleunabridged, differing nothing horn the ordinary Bible exeeptin arrange ment In this respect it differs from the etassofivoiksjust aliened to, which contain. onlyit part oi the Bible. 4. Where the same passage of Scripture relatecto more than one subject, it is repeated under the appropriate bead. In this respect, the bekik differs from any other of the kind. 5. It containss Synopsis of the contents reparate ham the concordance, presenting in a readable form. and in the compass of a few pages, a bird's eye - view of the" whole. -In tide, also, it differs from any. other. B. It contains a table of.contents, embracing nearly two thousand heady, in alphabetical , or This is a degree of fullness quite unsurpassed. 7. There is but one other work in the language, on the same general plan ; and this not only surpasses that in full. 'nese and"completeness ordetall, but iroffw ed At much leas cost. No student of the Bible would willingly dispense with this work when once possessed.- It is ad. pted to assist all classes—clergymen and theological students, Sabbath School superintendents, teachers, had Bible damsels, and those en• gaged lb the composition of religious, and even secular works; and, in a word, common readers of the Bible; who have no other object in view than their own improvement.

The object of this work' is to show that the world has hitherto labored under a profound mistake respecting the }fabler( word given 118 "Jeho v ah" in the Old Testament. The author undertakes ,to prove, by a historic philological argument, that it'was not "Jehovah" but " Yahvth"—that it does n t meaty "I Am," (self-existence) but " Ile Who or Come," (The Deliverer,)--in short, toot the: " Jehovah " of the • Old Testament and the "Christ"- of the New, denote one and thematic Being. [Extract from Dr. Taylor's Introductory Letter.] Tht argument's altovether new and original; and. if valid, proves what many of the ablest theolegiana have believed; without resting their heliefupon grounds so thoroughly ex egetical.. It raises stquestion to be met where', er, the Bible is read—a question in respectlo a fact which it Would seem, it not admitted, must Ist least be controverted.
