DEAR FRIEND :—ln former letters_

words and phrases which: , they-do
, rstand, they should seek , iriforma-
At in these familiar letters !I may
explain, or explain as .[.proceed.
let me say that the passage above
from James i : 18, teaches, as I re
in my last, the personality of 'God . ;
les to him a will, and ants the result
but who ever heard of an impel.-
log, or a principle, having a, will,
g things as the result. of its-volition ?
is said of Gud : Of his own will
us. Here is personality. God is
-an essence—a conscious existence
,ellipeut being. He has intellect
. He has a will of his own 'hie
—James i: 18. Hence, having
Ice and will, he is a personal being.
the world itself, nor merely the
ie world, nor yet the only substance
nature and mind are the pherio
it he is a personal, independent,
ant being, who made, and who
he world ; working all things after
lel of his own will.—Eph. 3
,
nfidelity of the present day denies
're is any personal God, any God
ly and independently existin,, ,, , ,, any
t from sin and independent , of, 'the
creation. It teaches that God is
—or the soul of the world—or the
,tance of which all things are but
la, In some form it teaches that
Jog is God, and that God is every
Hence it calls GOd the Grist All;
1, God is all. It is-pantheistn, and
lot a species ,of, atheism., It may
God as the soul of the universe—
king all matter and all, space—and
ilk very eloquently and very piously
od ; and yet it does not believe at all
being whom we call God; it4oes
ieve in any revelation from acid as,
>ecause it holds all men are inspired,,
d is in all men and in all things', and,
Ire is no God apart from the visible!
: literally, no (tod---no God who!
real, personal existenoe.—Ps.. xiv.
pd yet to hear the pantheist talk, you
think him wondrous wise, and won
pious too, for he will tell you God is
phere and he sees God in everything;
ere is something very grand msome
conceptions, and very poetic, 'and
ptivating; and hence the wide-spread
ee of this species of infidelity; and
.he danger too that many, very many, :
led away by it, especially when we
hat it is even now in some of o , r
:s and our schools, in our books and
in works of science and in novels
;titious trash, in numerous associa•
3 clubs, in lyceums, in libraries, in
—very many of the popular lecturers
taintcd with it—and even , in the
and the devil has his colporteurs
lug it 3 productions all over the
Donee I have felt it important to
you against it, and to guard, you
it, by keeping prominently before
as great truth. There is a persorial
the living and true God. If it is a ,
thing to believe there is a God, it is a,
thing--and a dangerous and, fatal :
—to believe there is no tied. And, as'
practical purposes, we may as well
, e there is no God, as to believe "that
las not, or is not, a personal exisi :. -4eee
:hid of the, pantheist is .no God,'Son
if rorlds wevobletled from*EitateneaAlteP.
ibis God would not exist; but the God of
the Bible, our God, is a God who exists in
and of himself; he existed-before the worlds,
and he would exist.if there were no worlds.
Fie -made the worlds; be governs the worlds;
he made us,' and he will bring us into judg
ment; he will reward his, people and he
will punish his enemies; for he is the Moral
Governor, as, well as the Creator, of the
universe; the Author and Sustainer of the
moral law as Well as or natural laws,; the
God of grace and redemption as well as of
nature and providence:'
.
This may suffice by way of explanation.
You, will now „understand what I mean.by
the personality, of 'God. - I mean that God
has a real existence of his, own; or, as Paul
says: He that cornett). to God must.balieve
that,he is, that he netnally and ;really existai :
-410. xl:6. You exist, and of 01581 ) . 9,4
are ,conscions-rand you ( have Intellect
and.will of your own. Now, as you,haveta
conscious personal existence derived from
God, , so he has a.g O ntitelptlq personal.ext.istence in himself—an intellect, and will
of his own; he is before all things, and
by him all things""ahniist.—Colossians is
15, 17. And-the 'deeigii:'-of'tlie'expres
sion is to ,guard ,tythi \against:the spirit
of infidelity which abroad -int, Oen. world
and even in ,the ehnrch.. As Satan himself
is transfortneft.ipw 411,, al?gel,of. light, even
so its ministers ,mayplso > be, transformed,.as
the ministers.of-righteousness.-2. ,Cor. ix
13-15.
When we speak. of ,ourselves We say, we,
rind*. When we Fray, we address,God as
the ifearer and,Answerer of prayer , saying,
Will not Thou heir it's. We are eonsoious
of cur .own personality and we address God,
as a personal-being. 'he Tupu of our
prayers rises in solemn Riiariv'agaiest our
own most hidden self-conseionsness.' ; —Tal.. -

And in additions to ally:these we greatly
need a plain and,- popular treatise on the

as to secure its.general circulation; for the
two great'opponents,,,of-Ahe Church and of
vital ,piety: for Y.Prs,to con, will, probably
be Mormonism - and, Infidelity, and a third
the, eint product of, these two,---the spirit

,to

a minister. The few aceessiline to the
church: durini the list two `pears; with'
some other " indications of 'deetensiorin
ieligicue' interest, led to an' engagement;
Some two months ago, to 'leave for Danlaps4
-Hilt latterly, from the inoreaie :iitteiv.
dance, and seriousness of the '6iingregation;
together - with greater 'earnestness ''at 'Our
prayerzmeetinga and some - diseir of-personal
concern :on :the Subject' , of religion, we .felt
encouraged to expect the :presence , of the
Lord with= neistoour meeting., The preach
ing of .brother who absisted, :was
accompanied , with. 'special power. , tOw Sat
urday there , was imuch'l seriousness; hut on
Sabbath,: during sermon, and-. communion
seryisaes,, the presence, of-the Sp . irit seemed
felt by
,all The work increased in power as
the services Continued; until ,suipended for
the sitting of Presbytery in our church.
We felt "that the ° etnireli, now Without a
Pastor, 'and preaching for next Sabbath;
could not be left.
I preached on the following 'Sabbath,
when the' interest seemed still as i great,
which' ed to continue till Wednesday.
'Fiftylfciiir Were received into the church's=
examination„ most of whom 'received the
ordinance of hiptisrli. A large propoittion
Were yoting. "Cidd hatreibeeded , ours high

my ,family for sDunlapsville, had ,three or
four of , my r-ibs> broken, by a, kick from a

weeks. Whether ,thin wets a call of pod ;to
remain at. Carmel the issue, is an
arrangement for my

brought b f aei: I write,,fro,m my chair,
which I have occupied these, five days, day
and, night, with , considertible, talk, yet with
the prospect of a speedy "recuiery. It is
said of the good man , "He keepeth all his
bones; no one of them is broken." Yet ''l
can say, irt'view of the yak, " has made
me to 'hear 'joy and gladness'tbat the'bones
which he

WHEN the veil of death has .been drawn
between us and the objects of our, regard,
how quick•sighted do we become to ; their
merits, and how bitterly do we, then remem
