Addison Alexander. In two vols., 12m0., pp.
462 and 498. New York : Charles Scribner,
377 Broadway. 1857.
We have waited for the , publication of this
work with much expectancy, and now that it has
appeared, it has realized all , our anticipations.
The materials of this Commentary were collected
and prepared- for publication in order to meet
the wants of ministers and students, but after
the first Chapter was in type, Dr. Alexander
changed his plan, omitting all that was fitted for
the mere scholar, reducing the size, and making
the work more popular in character, and conse
quently more generally useful. This will account
for the omission of much Greek that would oth
erwise ,have appeared; but the learned author,
does not need,to be continually using Greek terms`
in order to keep the community aware of the fact
that he is extensively and profoundly learned.
We have no doubt whatever, but that this Com
mentary will speedily be recognized on both sides
of the Atlantic, as possessing all the excellen
ces of the other expository works which have
raised the name Of Dr. Aleiander to the;high po
sition which it occupies among the eminent Bib
lical Interpreters of the age. We wish to guard
our readers from falling into a mistake as to the
amount of learning which pervades these vol
umes. They are eminently surcharged with
learning, which will appear on every page to ed.
mated men. The half educated, and those
who mistake long quotations and multitudinous
references for eeholarehip, could alone fall into
the error that this is a want of erudition. We
commend the work moat heartily to students and
ministers, stating that even ordinary readers will
not fail to profit by its rich and lucid expositions.
ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION OF THE EPISTLE OP PAHL
THE A.POSTLB TO THE ROMANS. By John
Brown, D.D., Senior Minister of the United
Presbyterian Congregation, Broughton Place,
Edinburgh, and Professor of the Exegetical
Theology to the United Presbyterian Church.
Bvo., pp. 639. New York : Robert Carter t
Brothers,,s3o Broadway. 1867.
This great work is the production of many
years of study and careful revision, by one of
theleading minds of. Scotland. It differs entirely
from the Commentary of Dr. Chalmers, which
was written currente calamo with all the vigor of
the great modern reformer who wrote with all
the energy and fire of his nature, but who had
no time to stop and balance Greek particles and
analyze like a grammarian. On certain points,
Dr. Brown was known to hold views from which
his brethren in the Secession dissented. Indeed
the feeling at one time arose to such a pitch, that
libel was prepared and submitted against him
and his 00-laborer in the theologioal ,chair, by
Dr. Marshall. The charges of the libel were not
held as sustained by the Church, but the pro
ceedings justified a call to all readers of Dr.
Brown's works to watch his statements on the
nature of the Atonement, and certain aspeotfrof
the work of the , Holy Writ. One thing is un
questionably true of this eminent man, namely,
a simple desire and vigorous effort to ascertain
the mind of the inspired penman. No one ever
souped him, of erring through indolence or af-
Dictation. and singularity. No man is freer from
vanity, and as his scholarship is extensive and
profound, and as his piety is genuine and un
doubted, he possesses many attributes'which are
required for an exposition of the Word of God.
It would require more time than we have yet
been able to command, to read an *lvo. Commen
tary, filled with references to Greek and'German
literature, to weigh all its statements, in order to
be able to affirm that it is consistent with itself
in all its parts, and with our Standards. So far,
however, as we have been able to examine it, it
is evidently more close and critical than his Com
nientarY on Peter, and it will' no doubt very
justly take rank with the Expositions of Calvin,
Chalmers, and Hodge. It is probable that we
may refer again to this masterly production.

This is the reprint of , a work well known in

circulation, and where it is still in demand. Like
all the writings of the admirable Leighton, it is
filled with the Gospel, and the manner in which
the believer acknowledges the obligation of moral.

In many respects we have esteemed Fined be
fore all the old Puritanical writers. It has been
a matter of great regret that in ninny districts in
Great Britain and in this country he should have
been known by his least valuable works, viz., his
Husbandry and Navigation Spiritualized. Hap
pily his " Method of Grace," his " Fountain of
Life," and his " Treatise of the Soul of man,"
together with his "Balm of the Covenant," are
now being widely circulated, and wherever they
are read, their author will require no commenda
tion.., This Exposition is short and pithy, but
very admirable, and ire commend it most ear
nestly to our readers as suitable for family use.

have entered upon the work of Establishing a
University of the "first class," to be under their
exclusive control; and, whereas this Presbytery
regard this as an exceedingly important enter
prise, having an intimate connexion with the in
terests of the churches; therefore.
Resolved, That the Presbytery commend this
enterprise to the enlarged liberality of the
churches under our care; and as Rev. R. H
Hollyday appears in our midst as agent, be:is
hereby recommended to the cordial co-operation
of all our pastors and churches.

Presbytery of Findlay,
-The Presbytery of Findlay held its stated Fall
meeting in the Blanchard church, on the 15th and
16th inst.

In reference to the stated supply system, the
following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Presby

grown into such general prevalence in tlie
churches of our connexion, is an element foreign
to our system ; and, in its practical working, not
favorable to the highest state of prosperity in our
churches.
Resolved, That, holding this view, we advise
our churches, as far as practicable, to abandon
this system, and settle their ministers as paaiora,
according to the provisions of our Book.
The Presbytery directed its Sixteenth Stand

the churchea. It.is P.S follows:
The delegate from each congregation shall
report a settlement with their pastor, or stated

For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate
Preibytery of Lake Superior.
The Presbytery of Lake Superior, at its recent
organization, appointed J. Irwin Smith and T. It.
Elder, ministers, and J. Harvey Hoarse, Ruling El
ler, a Standing Committee on Missions, within its
bounds. And Presbytery directed the Committee
re procure, if possible, this Fall, a minister to
Labor as itinerant missionary, for the supply of
range of towns and villages which are growing
:tp on the North shore, and around the head of
;.his lake.
These towns would at present form afield some
orbat like a Methodist circuit, and in a few years
everal of them will be able singly to settle and
; upport a minister. The engagement is regarded
If the Presbytery as a very hopeful one, and pe
.3uliarly inviting for a young man, or for a min-
Ater in a debilitated state of health, who needs
!rreedom and exercise.
The writer has been a resident in this region
istUrcen five and six years, and has been preach
' rig in it for the last four years, enjoying ext;a
yrdinary exemption from the usual clerical ills;'
lifter having resorted thither for health, in so low
,% state of decline as to leave but little hope of his
, ver being permitted to preach at all. The
lealthfulness of the Lake Superior country is
unrivalled. And its unparalleled supply of iron
And copper, its abundant resources for agricul-
Inre, commerce, and manufactures, render it cer
iainly not less interesting and important as an
encouraging field for usefulness, than any other
;region upon our continent Its growth, in all the
nssential elements of true progress, is now very
apid. Either for the Christian citizen, or the
;hristian minister , it has extraordinary induce
:cents.
Our Presbytery, at its organization, comprised
ant three ministers; if one should fall, it must
ie dissolved. Ocr isolated position makes it im-
Jossible for us to receive accessions during more
ban one-half of the year. A concerted scheme
tad been projected, an onset made, and an effort

In past years into a most singularly provided

view of these circumstances, it seemed eminently
geoessary to the Presbytery, in order to maintain
is own integrity, and secure our cause here, that
'he proposed missionary, at least, should be at
once obtained.
But, lo ! God's ways are not our ways, nor his

For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate
Action of, the Presbytery of Wooster on
Slavery.
The Presbytery being asked, by overture,, to
define the position of our Church on the subject
of Slavery, referred the matter to a Special Com
mittee, whose Report, after discussion and amend
ment, was adopted by a unanimous vote, and is
as follows:
" Wm:netts, It is charged by many, that the
Presbyterian Church (0. 8.) sanctions and sus
tains the institution of Slavery as right and Scrip
tural, and some in our congregations are grieved
thereby, and believing that the opinions pro
mulged by many in our body, in the South, affords
too much ground for reiterating the above named
charge, the Presbytery of Wooster feel called
on to state our views of the actions of our
Church, in reference to Slavery and slave-holding
in this country. The only Acts of the General
Assembly that, we need notice, are those of 1818
and 1845. It is thought by many that these are
inconsistent with each other, and by others, that
the action of 1845 was designed as 11, commentary
amounting -to a repeal of the action of 1818.
After a careful examination of the Assembly's
Acts'in the two Oases, 'we are clearly of the opinion,
that when the time, occasion, and object of each
are fairly considered, they are essentially ham)
nious. The Assembly of 1818 expressed their
judgment on the subject of Slavery in general.
The Assembly of 1845 had mainly, if not exclu
sively in view, the simple question, " whether
the holding of slaves is, under all circumstances;
a heinous sin, calling- for the discipline of the
Church ?" This precise aspect of the subject was
not urged on the attention of the Assembly of
1818, and yet its deciaion clearly involved' the
ground now distinctly stated and answered by the
Assembly of 1845. There were no memorials or
overtures requesting the Assembly of 1845 to re
peal the action of 1818, but there were, to have it
pronounce on slave-holding as sinful per se, and
make it a term of Christian communion. Hence,
the Assembly directed the burden of its announce
ment to the question brought directly to its no
tice by the memorials. This was natural and
proper ; and yet the Assembly guards against
being understood as approving the system of
Slavery, too generally prevailing in ,our land.
The action of 1845 was neither a repeal, nor an
explanation of the action of 1818, but a, declara
tion of sentiment always before assumed and acted
upon, but never before calling for so explicit a
statement. This position is affirmed by the As
sembly of 1846, when they say, " Our Church has,
from time to time, during a period of nearly sixty
years, expressed its views on the subject of Slavery.
During all this period it has held and uttered,
substantially the same sentiments." •
With due deference to the highest Judicatory
of our Church, we could wish tbat the spirit and
language of the Assembly of 1845, so far as there
was a general reference to the system of Slavery
in our country, had been more decidedly disap
proving, and more in unison with the language
and spirit of the Assembly of 1818. This differ
ence in the animus of the two actions, we think,
has been the main cause of the perplexity and
dissatisfaction in regard to the action of 1845,
which has prevailed in certain portions of our
Church.
In view of the conflicting opinions, both in and
out of our Church, on this subject, this Presby
tery regards it a right and a duty to give expres
sion to its views on the matter.
1. We regard as unscriptural, and highly per
nicious in its tendency, the doctrine, that slave
holdihg, in all circumstances, must necessarily be
sinful, and ought to be made a term of Christian
communion. We hold, " that since Christ and his.
Apostles did not make the holding of slaves a bar
to communion, we have no authority to do so."
2. We hold, as equally unscriptural and wrong,
the doctrine that the Scriptures sanction and jus
tify Slavery; that it is a good and desirable in
stitution, and ought to be perpetuated. We be
lieve that the Scripture doctrine concerning do
mestic Slavery and despotism in the State, is the
same. It does not enjoin nor expressly forbid
either. It simply assumes that a Christian may
consistently, in certain circumstances, be an au
tocrat in the State, or a master of slaves. •It
would be just as fair and logical to justify and de
fend the right and expediency of despotism in the
State, from Scripture, as to justify and defend the
right and expediency of domestic Slavery.
3d. We regard the system of Slavery, as gen
erally prevailing in our land, "as utterly incon
sistent with the law of God, which requires us to
love our neighbor as ourselves,' and as totally
irreconcilable with the spirit, and principles, of
the Gospel of Christ ;" as evil in its moral, social,
and political effects on all classes coming within
its immediate influences, and, so fat' as it goes,
on the whole country ; that all good men ought
to desire and labor in every way sanctioned by
Scripture and sound discretion, for its speedy re
moval.
4th. We deprecate the union with our Assem
bly, of that part of the New School body that
has seceded, until we are assured that they agree
with us on the subject of Slavery, and the doc
trines of the Confession of Faith; believing that
such a union would promote distractions and di
vision in our beloved Church, and greatly injure
her prosperity.
sth. We regard the cry of " agitation;" raised
by those who would suppress all discussion on the
relatioa of our Church to Slavery, as unwise and
unjust.
dth. We regard the application of the epithet
4 . abolition," in its modern acceptation, to those
holding the fore-mentioned views, as a violati.n
of the Ninth Commandment.
It was ordered that this action be forwarded
for publication to the Presbyterian Banner and
Advocate, the Presbyterian of the West, and the

Gnawing a File.
There was once an old house, and in that
house lived an old rat. By means of
cracks and knot-boles, and sundry other
boles of, his own making, he had an exten
sive circuit through the whole. From front
to L, and from cellar to garret, wherever
there was any thing that would minister to
the comfort of the outer man, he was sure
to find it and help himself. One room was
used as • a granary, and the door was kept
carefully closed. The old rat used to hear
the sound of the grain as it was poured upon
the floor or into the barrels, and had a
strong desire to know, from personal obser
vation, what was in the room. But there
was no way for him, to gratify, his desire but
by making-an entrance through an oak board
partition. So, one night, after all was quiet
in the house, be set himself vigorously about
the undertaking;, and though he found it
rather a jaw aching operation, yet he kept
up such an incessant nibbling, that long be
fore daylight his task was accomplished, and
his hard toil was:rewarded by a_ plentiful re
past at the pile of grain. For some days
and nights he passed in and out at pleasure,
and enjoyed high living without let or hin
drance. But the proprietor at length dis
covered the hole which he had made
through the partition, and at < once con
eluded that he would lay an embargo upon
that sort of fun ; so lie thrust a file into the
hole.
The next time the old rat essayed to pass
in, he found a slight impediment in his way ;
and he tried in vain to remove it. At length
said his ratahip, "I know what I can do;
for i know what I have done. I can gnaw
off that stick; for it is n't half as thick as
the oak board through which I gnawed the
hole." ••
So at it he went again. He thought that
the file was a good deal harder than the
board; but he was determined 'not to"give`
it up. Indeed, it was a prominent article
in his creed, never to back out. " Alt, a
workman is known by his chips," said he,
as he looked and discovered quite a little
pile that looked very much like ivory saw
dust, though he wondered that his chips
should be so light-colored. "I shall fetch
it yet," said he ; and he applied himself
with renewed vigor.
But at length he discovered some blood
on the file where he bad been gnawing.,
He instantly clapped his paw to his bleeding
mouth, when behold I he made this dis
covery—that, instead, of gnawing thefile,
the file had actually gnawed his teeth quite
down to the gums. Fora moment he stood
confounded. At last he said, " For once I
have made a fhol of myself."
And so he had ; for he was not only
obliged to go supperless to bed, but, what
was of vastly more consequence, he had lost
a good set of teeth that would be quite in.
dispensable in procuring his future suppers
And here we will leave his ratship, in order
to make an application of the story.
Men ought to be wiser than rats; but
they are not, for they also frequently gnaw
agile.
A person-gnaws a file when, just for the
sake of having his own way, he obstinately
persists in doing that which is against his
own interest—that which injures himself a
vast deal more than any body else.
An illustrafinn:—A boy, whose name I
feel a little delibacy about mentioning, once
got a little grotty at something his mother
required him to, do; so when he was called
to dinner, to Show his independence, said,
with pouting lips—
" I don't want any dinner."
Now, he was hungry enougL; but he was
determined he would-not eat; out of -spite.
He overheard his sister say—
" Guess he'll get hungry by supper.time."
But he thought within himself, " You'll
see."
So be nourished his wrath to keep it warm,
and when his sister called him to supper, he
grouted out more than ever—
" I'don't want any supper,"
But as he turned to go off, he heard his
mother say--
"You'll be a cheap boarder at this rate."
So - he had the blessed satisfaction of hav
ing his own way, and •went supperless to bed,
where he repented at his leisure. There he
lay and thought the matter all over again
and again. He finally came to the "unani
mous conclusion , " in his own mind, that he
was a great fool:,for having done as he had ;
for he had injured no mortal living so much
as himself. It is almost unnecessary to add,
that he had retnrkable good appetite for
breakfasq and that, from this time, he was
of the unshaken opinion that it was misera
bly roor policy to gnaw a file.
We might give illustrations equally perti
nent from those of riper years,‘ but we for
bear.

All these Essays but two or three are now for the first
time minted from the outlaw's manuscripts. They express
his maturest thoughts to his most finished style.
Those who have read his brilliant biographies of Howard,
Buigett, John Foster. Chalmers, Jsc., in his " Christian
Life,' , need not be informed that in this particular depart
ment of literature he has never been excelled, and has rare
ly been equalled. The fact of his appointment to succeed

Mr. Bayne's Book is like Solomon's "word filly spoken.,"
it is as "apples of gold in pictures of silver."—[John

It is full of noble thought and brilliant illustration. The
sketches of Iloward and Wilberforce, and Samuel iludgett,
are among the most charming specimens of condensed bio

I have been intensely interested in reading Mr. Bsyne's
"Christian Life," a predict for the work a wide and a
permanent eirculation.—[Bishop Clarke, of R. L
It triumphantly vindicates Christianity against the Pan
theism, and the scientific Atheism of this age. It is written
in a style as attractive as its contents are. important,—( Ed-.

The hookas a wholeis admirable; the biographical sketch.
es worthy of a place beside those of Carlyle,:'Macaulay,
Mackintosh and Stephen.—Ellon : B.-F. Thome, LL.D.
Thee [biographical] chapters exhibit the author as quite
a brilliant essayist. It is a book to stir the enthnsiasnt of
young readers especially.—[Prof. F. D. Huntington, D. D.
These three [biographical] sketches, forming about, one•
third of the volume, we consider the finest things of the
kind that have appeared in the present century.—[Britisli

of "The Mount," (the Poet's residence.)

Mrs. Knight is widely known by her former works, asps
who has developed rare and peculiar skill in biographical
composition. For fix months after the publication of" La
dy Huntington and her Friends," the demand for It was
greater than the supply. 'The present work will be found,
froin the variety and richness of its materials and their
skillful handling, to be one of the most attractive biegra•
phies of the day. It presents Montgomery under the as
pacts of a youth among the Moravians, a runaway appren
tice, an adventurer in London, a public journalist, a prison
er of State for political reasons, a poet winning tame and
fortune by his works, a philanthropist revered by all his
countrymen. But it is as the author of many of the choicest
hymns in our language that Montgomery is most widely
known; admired and loved and is on tuts account that
thousands will rejoice to possess this Life, prepared in a
spirit congenial to his own. feb2B-ly

Sessions of eighteen weeks each, and commences on the last
Wednesday in September. At the close of the br et tweve
weeks there will be a public examination of the pupils lin
their various studies, and a recess of two weeks given. As
