The First Presbyterian Church of Spruce
Creek, Pa.
Within a quiet little vale—
A sweet, sequestered shady dale,
Where flows a crystal stream ;
With mossy rooks and hills around,
Where's dreaded not the tempest's sound,
Or mid day's scorching beam—
A rural church has met my eye,
(With spire pointing to the sky,)
Of most exquisite mould ;
Whosamassive walls seem but a part
Of Ntibitti peeping out through Art,
With 14*eliness untold.
And on a beauteous hill-top's site,
The chiselled marble pute and white,
Doth many a story tell,
Of dear ones laid beneath the sod,
(Whose spirits have gone home to God,)
We loved, alas, too well
When those 'who reared this church there rest
Within its walls, their children bleat,
Shall strike the sacred lyre,
Their songs of joy and praise shill rise
(As grateful incense to the skies,)
With the angelic choir.
And when its walls have mossy,grown,
And all rejoice around the throne
Of the eternal One—
That while on earth they helped to rear
A temple to the God we fear—
The Spirit, Father, Bon.
For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate.
Our Sectarianism.
"The Old School Presbyterians, I have
been accustomed to regard as the most rigid
sectarians in the land." This.remark
made to me by a very worthy •gentleman,
with whom I was conversing on eoclesiasti.-
cal matters. It was uttered :without any,
warmth of manner, and evidently without
any acrimonious feeling. I have no doubt
that the gentleman thought it was true, for
he spoke it just as one would a common
place sentiment, which no well-informed
person would, call in question. And he
seemed not a little astonished, when I as
sured him that his opinion was se remote
from correct as it well could be, and that
the Church, so far from being rigidly sects
rian, was remarkably. destitute, of that.char
acter. Indeed, he avowed this by,exclaim
ing, Why, you surprise me, sir, by that
statement; for I have often and often heard
such sectarianism attributed to that Church.
I have no doubt he had; and I dare say
it would be hard to find a person who, has
not heard the same thing. The charge has
been so long and loudly made against us, as
into
thereproach, that accusers have fallen
the belief of its truth. Nor has-the .ohurob
itself escaped unharmed from the'elamorous
accusation. She has been so often arraigned
on this indictment, that, feeling the awk
wardness of a false position, she has, put. in
her bashful disclaimer, with an embarraas
meat that many have construed: as a sign of
conscious guilt. And the confidently reiter
ated clamor has almost-led to thelepression
of that measure of a elkateem which is ne-.
'seamy to self-defenee, and has gone far, to
ward
. produoing:actual indecision and de
bility in reference to. measures whioh , are
necessary to the Church's influence and-:use
fulness in the world—perhaps the very re
sults which the declaimers on her sectarian
ism anticipated and desired.
The lack of sectarianism in the Church,
I both affirm and deplore. It is an exceed
ingly equivocal virtue. One might as ores
itably boast that he had no patriotism, no
love of kindred,ias that he had no love! to
the Church which he had deliberately joined,,
in preference to any and every other. And
no society can long subsist, in vigor nand
prosperity, without that fellow-feeling, aym-,
pathy and attachment among its members,
which are included in the true idea of .sec
tarianism. The true sectarianism, or de
nominationalism, if this gentler and more
sonorous term is prefered, does not involie
hatred or hostility to other churches, any
more than patriotism precludes the senti
meats of a comprehensive and benevolent
humanity. The species does :not exclude
the genus, but is embraced by it. The
love of the Church to' which we belong, is
due to it in consequence of the mere vela
tion ; and in uniting• with itove formally
assume the obligation. On the fulfillment
of this obligation, she depends for her use
fulness and prosperity. By withholding
special love and support, which thatiobliga
tion. demands, we disappoint or just. expeo•
tation, and occasion injury instead of lienefit,
weakness instead of strength. If 'we have
only general sentiments of good Will, with
out special interest and attachment,„cur ac
cession will be productive of comparatively,
little advantage to the Church in hergreat
undertakings for the good of the world.
I would describe sectarianism, or thelove
of one's Church, as I would one's love of
country, by what it impala one to do, and
by the feelings that aociompany it. It ire
joins in the Church's 'prosperity, and labors
to promote it; it feels tenderly for her rep
utation,.and will do nothing- to tarnish it.
Its love for the 'Church of its preference,
does not require envy, jealousy, or hatred of
other Churches. It is not supercilious, or
bosstful ; disingenuous or mean in rte sen
timents or action toward others. The ten
der emotions of the captives by the rivers of
Babylon, arc a type of its feeling for, the
Church's calamities; and the noble senti
ment, " If I forget thee, 0 Jerusalem," &0.,
is an expression of its fixed affection.
Among the evidences of our lack of the
sectarian feeling, I notice, briefly,
1. The rather excessive freedom with
*Wei. measures constitutionally-adopted are
canvassed and criticised. Discussion, free
and protracted, as a •preliminary and aid to
correct judgment, cannot be too highly
prized, both as a privilege and duty.. Bub
when, after such discussion, the 'eonatituted
authorities of the Church have , given st.
"Deliverance ;" the true seotarianbm deems
submission and acquiescence an ,etslesiasti-'
cal duty, the performance of which is essen- ,
tial to the' Church's peace and ,prosperity.
2. The frequent and sometimes a)ierP =-
terms/ controversies., Looking back* few
years, one cannot but notice how- lartikua'
proportion of our dispeteeleve beakof the
inter-fraternal kind. Our heroes have buck
led on their armor, and shown themselves
to be men of might and Valor; but in what
field has their prowess been illustrated ? In
the domestic fide What expenditure ;has
there been of polemic power, on "College
questions," " Seminary questions," "New
ti;emes," ," Boards," " Baptized members,"
Agentti Y" &0., &c. But who has fought
for Presbyterianism?
8. The mutual aspects and policy of the..
Church, Press. We have able newspapers;
but bow seldom do they copy distinctive ar
ticles from each other Row sedulously do
they avoid. doing so It is not thus, I
think r with, other bodies. S,triking and, ef
fective, denominational articles are trans-,
1 ferred from paper to paper, till they have
reached 'the whole body, furnishing themes
for thought- and conversation, and awaken,
ing a common sympathy through- its whele
extent. This is sensible. The opposite
°guise ignores a. great
,principle of our, so
cial nature and tends . . to localism and see
tionaligni in the body. •
-These evidences of, the lack of true.see
tarianism in the Presbyterian Churob,
will be observed, have also something of the
character of causes occasioning that lack.
I will briefly mention some otliereauses that
have had some. influence in producing the
same result.-
I. This eeclesiaatical.virtue is, not prop
erly estimcoecl. It has,, somehow, got a bad
name; and"examination and judgment are
necessary to obviate the (Nikita wrongly as
sociated with it, and , to establish it upon.its
right basis, and in its proper use.
2. It isnot eultioatecl with due care. In
telligence, piety, and discrimination are ne
cessary, to rear it to its perfect size, and to
ensure froti it, abundant and whulekome
fruit. Left to spontaneona-grolithi it will
degenerate into a soragged, unsightly n anA
pesnicious secta#sm, with which, ' a
soil of Ignorance and , `dePnivity, it tends to
assimilate; and with 4hibh. , it le often lion
fonnded.
E. W. H.
8. The extent of the Okafrch t renders the
growth of this lrirtne more. difficult than a
smaller, body. A largo denomination is not
so readily permeated by a 'Common sy4a
-414. Besides, large extent usually am
:brat:ea greater variety.iof peendiarities .and
interests; and sectionalism interposes difft
,oulties,to the spread.of a nniqne sectarian
ism. The .lines that bound the several
zones, and Circles, tend to embarrass and
impede those mutual interchanges of thought
and• feeling, that.are essential to a right ,ap
preCiation of, the eonmou. ißtere4 ? •
4. The Church has no small, portatile,
and conspicuous badge of distinction.
This, I adroit, is an equiiodal reason sines
'the blazoning of some rite, some notion,
some custom, as a " distinctiveprinciple,"
only
faeilitates. the growth of an inferior sort
of sectarianism. The faith and order of
the Presbyterian Church are held, in corn
ice= With some other bodies: They areas
'broad as the Bible, aniline broader. It re
'quires industry and intelligence to embrace
these and make them the object of the true
sectarianism. Beyond these the Chinch
cannot go, for a ' distinetive " banner, as a
rallying point for the love of its member
ship.
The doctrine that we would inculcate by
these ,remarks 'is, that every Member of the
Presbyterian Chtireh'shortld'etherish for`it a
eincerc affection,. and sustain , its.measures,
for the good of the .wori.4, with an earnest
oo l operation ; that he
not
love her so
well and wisely, as not to hate any other
Christian community; bat to pray for the:
peace, purity and prosperity of Zion.

4110w4ne, Mr. Eri# o r, respectfully to de
cline the title you suggest fo . r. me—" a rep r
resentative man." Fe* members of these
Synods have . less claiin upon it. Entering
the field after the initiatory was made for
the Seminary ; having, had no voice in
adopting the Constitution ; having little con r
imitation with my brethren even in my own
Synod, and caring more, I hope, to'walk- in
the right than in the popular path, I do not'
pretend tolls) , how my, brethren judge, And
1 do , not presume to speak for more ,than
; myself. ,
I do not agree with Amicus that my argu
ment was defective on the point he chiefly
discusses. It 'was not full, I grant, and
:did not design to make it so. • But I affirmed
the unison of the North-West churches ; ith
the Assembly on the subject of slavery, and
if this is ,30, the charge of sectionalism is
unfounded. To-Make a charge unjustly, is
to , give 'the accused good reaeon-to,resiA
rather than by evadingit, tacitly to confesa
judgment; and it is to give candid men
Cause for withdrairing the false allegation.
When I say further that the , plan ‘ proposed
for the Assemblfs control secures all ithat

Professors'' ()halm the nnly,rersydr* mund

Before entering upon• the.-direct defence
called for by Amiens, I will notice,tha ear

No one can question the interest of the

sembly. I have shownpreviously that even
the. Assembly's injunctions are regarded as
of, little force; and the fair construction of
Dr. Rice's words on the floor of the Assem
bly, shows us that the agents of Danville—
an Assembly's Seminary--were not welcome
in his church. • But upon this point, and
others that we, mentioned, ; am quite
willing .to , leave the matter to the candid
readers of both sides. My object is truth,
not triumph ; and I care not for noticing
every point of objection to the views already
given.
I may, add this, howeveros a feet bear
ing upon, my , preyions statements, touching
the transferrence of the Assemliffs Bern ina ries to the Syttode, 'that this matter was
largely discussed in the. General- Assembly

majority in a single body. But it deserves
to be, ecnisidered, whether - the .sound con
servatism of the Presbyterian Church will
not be better maintained by numerous con
trolling Syneds. The more Synods -there
are,. the less, danger- is there .of the ,hasty

surely the' charge' shauld, by every candid
Mind, be withdrawn.
I-mill-state my-reasons briefly: ,
I. There has been no such expressipm of
abolition squib:pup on the part of peoPle,
ministers, 'Presbyteries, or Synods in the
Noith-Weiit, as to give countenance' , toi any
ouch :,charge.' We,•,are ,all :ants slavery if
giere any exceptions to:this, let plain speak
for theroselves,--Init not more so ihap the
Assembly's utterances. ' We feel that gross
injustice is done us in many portions of ,the
Church' in- regard. to'this . matter; . especially ,
as the letters of IDE; Vari ; BAnsselaer, noir in
progretui, of publication, gives , almost the
first decided note of warning against sectional.
errors elsewhere. We will plead guilty to
the charge, when as , much can be produced
of -abolitionism from .the „North-West as is
:boldly published of prollavery from *ha
South-East ; and we will give our accusers
credit for a candid and honest' zeal, when
they attack departures-from our Church posi
tion as, readily on one ,extreme as the other.-
