A CRITROH ORGANIZED IN KANSAS CITY. —A Presbyterian church; was organized in Karina City, by the Rev. Mims. Bracken and Symington, Mo., on the Ist Sabbath of April. The labors of Mr. Symington are divided between this place and Westport. A call is made for aid in erecting a church in the former place. SERMON ON DOMESTIC lthssioNs.—We are much pleased to, learn that Dr. Howard, of our city, will preach, in the. Second church, on Sabbath morning = next, his ser mon delivered before the late General As sembly on Domestic Missions. We listened to the sermon once with great interest, and would be, pleased to hear it again, and would Invite all who conveniently can attend, to be present,. . MEMOIRS AND WRITINGS OF REV. DR. LINDSLET.-A memoir of the late Rev. Philip Lindsley, D.D., edited by the Rev. W. B. Sprague, b.D., with a selectibn from his writings, will be published during the next year, by. Lippincott & Co., of : Phila delphia. Persons having in their posiession any of the Dolor's letters, or any facts of interest concerning bhp, are requested to forward the same to Prof. N. Lawrence Lindsley, Lebanon, Tenn. Colonizatioi It has been recommended: by our General Assembly, and partially attended to by our churches, that a collection be taken up on the Sabbath immediately preceding, or on that succeeding, the Fourth of July, fort the Colonization Society. We wish that the custom were universal; either directly on behalf of the Society, or for sonic one of the plans for•acoomplishing the great object had in view by the Society. In another column we give an article on 'the' Asnmurt USTI- Turt.E. This school is worthy, the cordial lib erality of the Christian, and the friend of the colored race. Let it be favorably re membered. Not ail Satisfied. The Second Presbyterian church, Cinein nati (N. S.) have, by a vote of twenty-five to sixteen, protested against the action of the Assembly at Cleveland, leading to a divisitin of . their body. The Journals,' North, with the exception of the Christian Observer„of Philadelphia, sustain the Assembly, and saythe action was not divisive. They hence cast the 'respon sibility on the South. The Observer thinks differently, and sustains the South.' A Southern New School Assembly is not, likely to draw off the Northern conservatives; but the result may be their separation front the extremists, either by a , third organization, or by a return to the Old School. Unioief the : Associate; and Associite Re• formed Churches. The 'Basis =of union between ' these two' bodies having been adopted at the late sed sions of their ,highest Ecclesiastical Courts, the connexion .is likely to be consummated. It is to take place in one year from the adop tion of the instrument. Whether it will make one body or three bodies out of two, is' yet to be determined. There is still some variety; of sentiment among the .members. We trust that it will not result in ,farther splitting -11311011 g Presbyterians. We would never 'Crowd together those Who cannot agree, but would hope that among the truly orthodox there will be found . Some one exist ing denomination in which' such as cannot adopt the, Easis may •thid, for themselves a happy home; and a suitable•field for. labor. A RATmeATIoN meeting was held;in our city, on` Monday evening last, by members of the two Churches, at which resolutions were adopted declarativeuf arpurpose to act tbgether-fromthe present.time. The Fourth of July. We see, in many of our secular exchanges, the annunciation of loud calls to preparation for celebrating the anniversary of the Dee-, laration of Independence. The end profes- - sedly in view we commend ; but the manner, in which that great national °writ is com memorated, does not always meet our appro bation. The ,reading of the celebrated doc ument is highly proper; and patriotic ora tions are proper; and a good dinner may be unobjectionable; and against the consump tion of a little powder on that day, we should not declaim`with any great violence, whether the ?thing were done by large boys or small ones. And we would= find no serious fault with the ladies if they should choose to take an airing on that day—a promenade or a sail, andpaiticipate in becoming festivities. But we object seriously to the drinking which is usual, and the carousing, and the party political declamation and abuse, and to the vain boasting, which • are so common on the occasion. We disapprove, also, of the extreme selfishness often manifested. The day should be one of generosity. A time for the bestowing of gifts, filiYaising Means for the spread of knowledge, and for the ad vancing of "virtue, liberty, and in'depend ,;- en e." Insmity and Religion. The numerous eases in which we find in sanity developed in connexion with religion; sometimes seemingly but co-existent, at oth ers apparently - ,spiinging from it as 'a `cause, and often leading to the most disastrous con- ' equences,makei the subject one of immense importance Its importance concerns every individind; but especially does it devolve upon the Christian minister responsibilities which he should deeply feel. In cases of mental disenie theminister, as being the man charged with the cure of ,souls,- is = first sent for, and is mainly relied upon. He ought hence to be a man well instructed', and pos sessed of great discriminating powers. He should be able to discern the character of the disease, to ascertain its cause, and to ap ply a remedy. Does it need to be treated by the physician? Or by the minister of Christ? Or by both? Can he direct to the proper medical adviser? Or are Gospel remediei the things needed? Is the, patient in a state to receive these? Does the minister know how to apply them—how to discriminate---- how rightly to divide the Word, and give to the insane one (often the distressed and dis consolate, the dejected or the "tortured,) a portion in due season ? ;1 , - The mutual influence of body and mind upon 'each other,- is very great and should be intimately known. ' The physician needs to know it, that he may call in the minister to his . aid ; and the minister needs to know it, that he may turn over a case partially, or chiefly, to a 'physician. The professions, both, doubtless, are very, much, at fault on this subject Ministers especially, as having the deeper interest in charge, are ; negli r gent- of the acquisition of knowledge which will qualify them for the : effective . discharge of their duty toward those Who resort to them for relief. There should, be far more attention than what has been common, paid to the causes of mental distress, and far more close and ,discriminating observation upon the influence °trundles. Every case must have its peculiarities, but still there are generalities under which particular cases may be classified, so that 'experience may be made highly valuable. But we do ,not mean to write a treatise on the subject:. We would merely call attention to it, and give an intimation"direpting inqui ry. In the June number' of the .Eclectia Magazine, We find an excellent article. It is from the. London Quarterly, and is a Review of three important works : The power of the Saul over the Body,' considered - in - relation to Health and Morals, by GEouGE MoonE, M. D.; Essays ou the partial Derangement of Mind, in supposed Connexion, with Reli gion, by JOHN CREYNE . K D.- The Use of the; .Body in relation to the Ilfind, by GEORGE MOORE, M. D. The article was prompted by the recent tragical end, of the eminent'Hugh Miller,, of Scotland.: It .is quite too long for bine columns, but copious extracts will be birth "interesting, and pro motive of the end we design. The Reviewer says Not only is the body influenced by the mind, which most, know, but also the, spirit ual mind is influenced, in its progress or de terioration, by the body, which fewer under stand. ,Hence - Dr. Moore has written upon the :morality . of the 'stomach. We are hedged in by laws which,are re ally what the Median and Persian only pre tended to be—unalterable. . Alen may niod-. ify or direct, but theycannot alter the laws by :which the acorn becomes the oak. If the seed of the oak, is cast on the sea, or set in the sands on its shore, or exposed to the at mosphere on a stone or on the hard soil, it will not . grow;-:because, it is subject to laws which all these circumstances violate. And similar remarks' are applicable to every or ganized body with which the wants or the fanciew of man induce him'to deal. 'Stearn and the electric fluid will obey him, if he will first of all obey them. Steam will do his bidding, if he will investigate the constitu tion of that most subtle machinery, in which alone the laws' by which it is hedged in, will permit it to work. And the electric fluid will pass under the ocean, and carry his mes sage to earth's Poles, if he will eipend for inventing for it that machinery without which its marvellous powers will yield him no obedience. And to follow up' these cases a few, steps further,:for the sake of illustrating the inax im, that man and his world are hedged in by laWs so stern and unyielding; that in other instances they either enforce obedieZee or result . in. death-:---let =•us look at, the ship, richly freighted with human life or material . wealth, =which steam, obeying its own• laws, is urging over the unwilling seas, winds and. I waves fighting together against its proe b ress in , vain. What t.a. 'glorious vision forhim. whose thoughtful .rnmd is stored with mate rials for filling up. the , vast chasm between the Indian's -first rade attempt to make a road On the waters, and that gallant ship 1 On she sails, mail's pride, and glory, and faith! An explosion more terrible than thunder , shivers the goodly :vessel into fragments. That fearful crash that shook the stout heart of every sailor on board—that momentary climax of human misery, too awful and too profound 'for .words to body forth—the float ing spars, the sole remains of that noble yes sel--what do they tell us ? They simply tell us .that some Quo of the laws by which steam is hedged in had been violated } and that it exacted death in some of its most terrible forms as the penalty. 'But, further, 'a machine may not only be destroyed at once, but also damaged, and, so become more or less unfit to fulfil perfectly its , functions. Or, there may be latent evils at mark, counteracting some one of its laws, but so slowly that the fatal issue comes on at last almost unperceived. + Such has been. the origin of the destruction of some, steam ma chinery. There has been a weakor faulty part overlooked or undervalued, which,was, however, contrary to the laws by which steam (to employ the phrase of another) "is hedged in ;" and when, in -its certain march, the evil reached the prescribed degree, the engine was destroyed by the laws of its.own steam. And this is strictly applicable to that or ganized machine which as hedged in with the unalterable laws of health and disease, ef life and death—the human body. Not only will some sudden and palpable disaster—the knife thrUst into the heart--produce instant death; but there are other evils, fostered either by, ignorance or a wilful violation of known laws, which will gradually, but as surely, prepare the body for preniature de itruction or inefficiency, as the overlooked or disregarded Mischief in the steam machine. For just as we have seen mechanical instru ments laid a side as useless, because some law of their constitution, had 'been gradually vin fated so' have we seen 'human bodies preina- THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATF.h. turely laid aside as useless, for like causes, either in the sick chamber or the lunatic asylum. And the two cases are philosophiz tally, and not fancifully, parallel. ",That mental derangement: may originate in .1 superstition or fanaticism—by either of which, behind a visor of religious zeal, all sobriety, of mind is invaded, to the interruption of social and domestic duties—will be understood by those who know that insanity, in the predisposed, may arise from any;cause that .excites; at the same time that it agitates, the mind. But that true religion which removes doubts and distractions, explains our duties, and reconciles us to them, and teach as that all , things,work 'together for:' good' them ; that love God ; and thus not only guides, but supports us,, as,we toil through..the.weary maze of life ; which, in every pursuit, demands mod. eration and method—that true religion should be productive of insanity, is not easily credible, and would require the clearest evidence."---Page 131. Again, he elsewhere expresses himself hus : " We firmly believe that the Gospel, received simply, never, since it was preached, produced a single case of. insanity; the admission that it has such a tendency, ought never to have been conceded to the enemies of, the press. We have granted that fanaticiste and superstition have caused. insanity, Its well as they may ; nay, de rangement of the mind may often save been caused by the terrors, of the law; but by the Gospel—by a knowledge of and trust in Jesus— never."—Page 144. , And the testimony of Dr. Moore is to the same effect. Thus we read : " Some say religion is a frequent7cause of in-. sanity. No; true religion. is the Spirit of love; and of power, and of a sound mind;-ever active in ,diversified ,duties and delights, and' always busy in a becoming manner, and in a decent or der. But the wild notions; unmeaning. supersti tions, 'spiritual bondage, unrequired and 'forbid: den rites and ceremonies which wayward men have substituted for the liberty of God, beginin disobedience and end in darkness.--Potver of the Soul over the Body, p. 296. • What is denominated religiou's insanity,. is' the result,doubtless, of bodily disorder 'as . , well as of moral delinquenciei. The 'll,e -• • viewer, speakincr of the spiritual condition as influenced by disorders of the body, says: By investigating the` influences of food and drink on 'the;' mind, we soon discover the strongest motives for' self-denial, and learn 'many i'lesson"concerning the nature and extent of our responsibility. The com fort and efficiency_of the intellect, .nay, the moral perception,mardinese,'and virtue of the mind, depend greatly on our use of aliment; and in the'very means by which we sustain the strength of the body, or most 'directly disorder its functions; we at the same time either fortify or disable the brain. It is of course known, that the physical na-- ture of than depends upon'his food; but it is less known how much the moral nature depends upon the physical nature; or what' changes in the temper and disposition are introduced by physical influences. Dr. Cheyne remarks, that he never.' saw a case of mental derangement, even when traceable to a moral career, in which 'there was not reason to believe that bodily disease could havCbeen detected before the earliest aberration, had an opportunity offered for: examination." And the same highly re-,, ligious and scientific authority adds, "Not only does every deranged state of the in tellectual faculties and the natural affec tions depend upon bodily 'disease, but also derangements of the rdigious rind more sentiments originate in diseasei of the body." Hence •it can .be „explained, that the sinking of despair is' not' more dreadful , or extreme than the hopelessness which de pends merely upon the disease of the nerv, ow system. But what warnings are -con veyed-by such facts to him, who, instead of mastering his appetites, the indulgence of which is the fruitful parent of so many dis eases, is masteraby them !° In speakina of conscience—even science—as affected 'by health and disease; and especially ,by the excessive use of ardent spirits, opium, tobacco, •andcther narcotics; he adds: Since, therefore, disease affects this guide to all right conduct, it ,becomes important to ascertain the difference between a sound and an unsound, conscience, in cases in which the condition of the bodily health must be taken into the account. Painful and humiliating as such a view may he, it only confireis the maxim so, often Other wise proved, that God 'does not interfere with the laws'of nature ; and therefore adds its warning voice to urguthe duty of mas tering those passions and appetites whose indulgence leads to more bodily ailments thin the legitimate wear and tear of a long life. All, disobedience, to Divine laws, says Dr. Moore, Whether natural or moral, must, be followed inevitably by suffering and disL order. In such cases, which the careful' Christian minister is sure to meet with, the irregularity of the condition of the con science may help to detect the true cause;' for relief, without the adequate causes .of oonfeision .to God, repentance, faith, and, love, cannot be genuine experience, and maY fairly, therefore, point to ;some 'bodily, dis turbance which affects t whole mind. Indeed, this theory has been., confirmed . ' be. yond doubt at the dyin g -bed, where it has been so often needed . : to satisfy *esker minds, which longed' to see the undisturbed departure'to his heavenly mansion of one who has so, often Proclaimed the power of religion to triumph over death. The oe casional dark cloud which enveloped the mind of Dr. Scott the commentator, during his Jest illness, is justly accounted for by noting ,the time when it periodically re turned : that is, says his, biographer, "it always came on with the daily, paroxysm of, fever." Dr. Scott himself took this view of his cane, as its true solution. And the testimony of another. (medical) writer is pregnant with instruction to the careful and thoughtful spiritual visitant of dying.beds " Good men may be unreasonably depressed, and bad men elevated, under the near pros pect of death, from the mere . operation of natural causes." Of the Christian graces, HOPE is, one most intimately connected with the soul's , joy. Hope is an anchor of ,the soul. Tfre are saved by hope. Hope unto the end. Hope maketh not ashttined. Hope that's in, God." Rut even hope, so essential to human'ha.ppi ness, whether the soul cOntemplates time or eternity, ,has its operation controlled. very much by the physical condition. ; Disease soon changes a buoyant* into a desponding nature; and this again resets upon the body, and weakens it still more. The, medical statement of the ease is thig': —indigestion will produce despondency, even when there is no moral cause to ac count for the destruction of hope. And the essence, it, is said, of that species of mon omania which is commonly' called melan choly, and 'which, always depends upon bod ily causes, is the suppression of hope. Of course, this is not the whole statement of the case. The inconsistent follovier of Christ can give another account of the loss of ,his hope; and it is the part of a skillful spiritual guide to ascertain the true cause of the malady, that he may be able to'pre= scribe 'the proper course to be pursued. The. rty third Psalm ' ei.14144 very'' and beau tifully' truthfully'Procegs' ioul)from "despondeney to theii'recovery of hope. Dr Cheyne once heard a lady of high Christian principles, whilst laboring under . 4opeloOSllesS from, l'OditY- Aig.P.lses declare., that God dOomed her to destructiOn, and. n was -promoting his t decree by means of the ingratitude of her dependents. An anxious dread of some temporal evils, with which attacks of h,oplesniesi 'inay begin' in , pious persons, often retires before the more dreadful anticipation of everlasting destruc tip.,.Such persons imagine they have been deeeiVing themielveti•With , false hopes, , and' that they never had within them the root of fine - ditretne cases of this kind there is frequently the temptation to suicide. But that such a state of soul may spring from bodily Causes is confirmed by a remark of Dr: Burrowes, "that:the opera tion of certain medicines in such persons has removed a propensity to suicide!' It was remarked of the. late Hugh Miller, that if he had overcome his reluctance to resort to drugs, and taken the prescribed dose on that fatal night, the catastrophe might have.been averted. ' • But we cannot pursue the very excellent course of:,, remarks, in, which the article abounds. We merely add the expression of, a hope, that our ministerial brethren will make the matter a subject of some attention; . and, as but few of them can have opportuni ties to, attend minutely to the acquisition of a knowledge of the healing process, they will ,bestow especial care upOn the preventive remedies. Teach those things, and prac tice them also, which belong to the preservi; tion of .a sound mind in a sound body. The Trials of an Editor. We are much obliged to a friend, whoui our eyes have never yet beheld, for the fol lowing article. We trust that it will be read; and be regarded as all in point, except 'the -, : signature. That :should have been SOMBBODY, 'rather` than NOBODY. 'But we shall let him pass m his modesty, since we are told that before the: High and Holy one, all nations• are as nothing. - An editor may be supposed to become very indifferent ,to fault.lnding, and not to be moved, Unless by something very severe. This is ordinarily,. with the religious press, at least, a very great mistake,. He, has his iensibilities; and they may become even more acute by their *being operated upon. He has set himself for usefnlneis in the Church and the world, and desires also suc cess in business. Neither of these can be accomplished unless - he shall Make himself extensively acceptable. TO this end he pro poses to himself a subject, or class of. sub ' jeets, lays his plans and pursues his course, turning to the right onto theleft for no one. And still he needs to know the effects of his doings—their acceptableneSs, and their influ ence boat upon the critics and the masses— that he may, wisely modify his movements, and adapt . them to the emiat which he aims. An editor needs information—needs it from many, and never is unthankful for Sturg es tions which come to him, in fraternal •faith fulness, provided may , that he is treated with respect, and not too seriously impor tuned nor worried, with long lecture& But as to his trials, or rather some of them • listen' to our , correspondent. He founds his , remarks upon,. con job xiv : timtis born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. ECere is'a good test fol. a sermon on the trials of an editor. Whether his days be few-or many, they surely are fall of trouble. No man need have more.- He has his per. sonar and relative trials, his bodily aches and pains, and his mental conflicts, as well >as other men;* and then he< must try-to please those Whom he never' saw, an& receive , the rebukes and censures of the very ones whom he tries to please and'benefit. , He offers the very best he can find to his friends and his enemies ; and yet they are ready to reproach him, because he does no better—although, it may be, they have not paid him for his labor. A list of his-trials would be as long as a description of a modern belle's wardrobe. His•patience, as well as his eyesight, is tried, in reading a multitude of manuscripts, some Of 'them as unreadable as Arabic to a donkey. , 'And then he must select what he thinks the best,• and consign the residue to the flames. But woe to him now; for some ,good but'disappointed-biother will send him a violent Philippic for. rejecting his article, albeit neither the editor 'nor-the compositor could read it ! All this',' however, he must bear Patiently, conscious of , his own , recti tude. Some years ago----for am getting old--a friend of mine wrote,- an article for the paper; but it did not appear: In his trouble, he consulted me about it ; he thought of> writing a sharp letter to the edi tor; for he did not like silent contempt., His ,article had been treated in that way, bUt he was - not disposed to be silent.:' I told him he :had better 'just keep- still, for editors' were an independent sort of beings ' and would do. just as they pleased And so think , they should I Not only , for. rejected -articles are they_ censured, but for printed articles, too. No one who has ever been in a printing office— as I often have, and in former days even in the:editor's sanctum, too—l say no one who has ever been in a printing office, or even seen -a single 'type, can look on a printed sheet, and not be filled with wonder at the few effort ,in it; scarcely one in a whole column, or even on a whole page ! And yet . manY a man who has sent an article. to the paper in such a band :that twenty prin ters could not read it, will fret, and scold, and groNirl fora month, because it is •not cor rectly printed in every particular, even to the dot of an "i," and the •cross of a "t" The very fact that he writes , in such. a hand, is proof: of 'his impatience; .and lence the editor had better beware how he deals with such articles. In any case, he must expect trouble. It is woe if he •rejects, and a double woe if he prints ! And then there is every variety of taste among his readers. Some abominate long articles ' and others are quite as much. dis-' pleased with short ones.' Some want• solid matter, others light; and some are so un reasonable as to find fault if every article in every paper is not just to their taste and liking; as if the paper were made 'for them alone; and as if there were not five thou sand families and twenty-five thousand read ers to peruse the very same sheet ! Why, a newspaper is for every body, and hence there should be something in it good for everybody;-and so a religious paper is not for ministers only; nor for Church mem bers only; nor for the old or the young exclusively; nor for established Christians only; or the inquiring only ; it is for all; and hence / should be in a measure adapted tO all: • But - of this adaptation; thaeditor is the judge; and it is presumption ha Ilk readers to call him to account; if they~ were the only persons .in the world, and both the editor and }lie paper . Wfire made for them For myself I seldom now read a series of articles on any subject. But it was not so with- me twenty. or thirty years iago. Then these were the very articles from which I derived most benefit, and in which I most delighted. Then I read '.every, word; in every paper. And as I was then, so very many may be now ; and shall I complain because the. editor sees fit,to gratify, these earnest attentive: readers ? The may be few in comparison of the whole, and yet '1 venture to-say t - hey are the very - ones - who receive most benefit from the editor's labors, and thelabors of his correspondents. Some= read little besides their paper and their Bi ble, for the good reason that they have little else to read. remember,long, long ago, lying ,a, - walle in my bed at night; trying to devise ways and means to raise a dollar to enable 'me to take a religious paper, and could not do it ! Others; may be thus situated' now, young -persons in irreligious families, and they are the , Ones who devour the whole paper, the long series of edibles and all; and they are the ones, too; who are most . benefitted ; looking forward, it may be, to the work of the ministry, as I. was, ant learning their first lessons of theology, as 1.• did, from the religious paper; and. who shall• complain if these babes are furnished with their cup of milk? Mr. Editor— pardon me, my tears fall htre—if there be but one such. among-your readers, your la, labors are not'in vain. . There are more than ote. Why, one of your papers is, handed by me to a neighbor, and after he reads it he sends it far, far est of you, to-a friend, who has• no other religious reading ! So, go on, and God .bless yon.
