b' ends or Fear Ling. But it is neverthe
'• • true that everywhere in Moses, and the
vioplicts. and the Psalms, are written the
things concerning Christ; that all &rip-
Lure is piren by inspiration of God, and is
r eoti table for doctrine, for reproof, for come
;ion, and for instruction in righteousness.
:hat the man of God may be perfect, dm
: ughly furnished unto every good work.
And it is equally true that the great bus
iness of the minister is to preach the Word
a f te r the example of Christ himself, the
great Preacher of the Gospel, and of his
Apostles; when in the instruction of his
disciples, beginning at Moses and all the
prophets, he expounded to them in all the
Suiptures the things concerning himself,
and wilco they, preaching to their hearers
the Gospel of God, reasoned with them out
of he Scriptures, opening and alleging that
Christ must needs have suffered, and risen
again from the dead, and that Jesus is Christ.
—Luke xxiv : 27-44; Acts xvii : 2, 3.
And, without objecting to the common form
of preaching in its place and measure, or
wishing to see our ministers bound down
always to any one form, we do not see how
they can fully preach the Word, and so in
struct the people that they may understand
the Scriptures, without making their preeehe'
ing, in some form, an exposition of the Scrip-1
tures in course, and in their proper connex- .
ion.
We cannot but think that the general
neglect of a due use of the Word of God,,
iu these various respects, is at least amoiik.
the chief causes of the state of religion
which we lament.
2. A second cause of the defective and
unsatisfactory state of religion among us, we
think, ;,s to be found in a general failure on
the part of parents and of the Church, fully
to comprehend the gracious provisions of
God's covenant with his people in relation,
to their offspring; clearly to recognise the
relation of their children, through this cove
nant, to God in Christ .Tesus, and. to his
Church; and duly to embrace the promises
<d• the covenant on their behalf, and, by
the agencies and means which God has or
dained, to train them up in the nurture of
the Lord.
God said to Abraham, "I will establi
44 1
my covenant between•me and thee, and thy
seed after thee in their generations, for an
everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee ,
and to thy seed after thee." To his people
in all times he says, " The promise is unto
you and to your, children." Through, thii,
covenant the children of . God's people are
members of the Church, and, as snob, sus
tain a peculiar relitiOn to Christ, and to
God in Christ; and through this covenant
it is, that God has appointed that the giftof
eternal life in his Son shall be bestowed
upon them. To this end, they are 'to be
dedicated to God from they have any being;
according to the tenor of this covenant, slid
the seal of the covenant, in baptism,
be placed upon them ; , its promisee twerAly
faith to be embraced and pleaded for-them ;
and they are, from the first opening of,their
faculties till mature age, to be duly, "diri..
gently, faithfully, daily instructed' in. the;
knowledge of Divine things, and trained up,
in the nurture and adinonition of din' liord.
This duty God has made incumbent, first
upon parents, in reference to the children
whom he has given them, then upon, the
pastors of his flock. All other teachers, if
lawfully used, are but helps to tbese. They
alone have opportunity in any due manner to
discharge this duty; they alone are competent
to its adequate performance; upon them Gpd
bath laid it; of them he will require it !in
the great day of account; and to it they are ,
bound tly the obligations of nature and of
grace. This is God's method of bringing
salvation to the children of his people.
Now, if Christian parents, and the rs
tors, and the churches, everywhere, were to
clearly comprehend and recognize this
- which is God's method of bestowing his
grace on the children of his Peopfe ; and
were, with an intelligent, living, confiding,
assured faith, to enter into the arrangements
and provisions of God's covenant in behalf
of the little children of the kingdom
. of
heaven, to plead for them i ts prom ises, Nand
faithfully
and duly,to fulfill its obligations
toward them, is it credible that it should be
tho common ease of these children that they
should continue to'be unregenerate, irithout
Christ, and grow up, through childhood and ,
youth to years of manhood , and womanhOod,
not the children of God, but the children of
the Wicked One, of that Old Serpent,. the;
Devil and Satan ? Is this credible ? 'On
the contrary, ought we not to expect that,
under these conditions, the origin of their ,
spiritual life would follow close upon the'
origin of their natural life; and that, stniati
lied from the womb, they would grow up, froui
the beginning of th eir days, the children of
God; in every period of life, frOni early
childhood to old age, bringing forth, in forms
and in measure appropriate, to the. 'mimes
sive stages of their life, the fruits of tle
Spirit, and furnishing in these the'evidence
that they are indeed the children of God ?
Without presumirig to usurp the Ovine"-
tive of God, and to pronounce that they are
unregenerate, because of the want of 'paint'
factory evidence that they are born of:God,
there is indeed great reason to fear thist Whirl
multitudes, perhaps with the great majority:
of the children of professed Christians, the.
actual state of their case is widely different
from that which we have here indicated as what
their ease ought to be. It may be that a great
majority of the children of professed Chris..
tians do, in fact, remain unregenerate .n in
fancy and childhood, and grow.up to mature,
years, the eihildren, as they are, by nature, of.
disobedience and of wrath. But we , believe ,
that this is not the normal.state,:of things ,
ordained by God; and that to this abnormal.
departure from and neglect of God's:method
of conferring his grace upon the children of
his people, is owing,, in a large "jool},e
want of a more full, and symmetricalonil
perfect development of Christian character
in those who make a profession of godlinesi;
and the instability, and inconsistencies, and'
and disorders, and imperfections, in so many
ways, of their religious life. • •
3. A third cause of the low state' of reli.
gion among us, we think it can not be
doubted, is the want on the part of:Chris
tians, of due measure and kind of prayer to
God.
A consideration of the place which prayer
holds in the spiritual life of Christians, pre
cludes the supposition that they live prayer
less lives. It may, however, be true—we,
think that there are few real Christians who
will not admit it to be true of themselves—,
that there is a great want of constancy, per.
severance, and abounding in 'all prayer—
public, and social, and private—a failure to
watch unto and continue instant in. prayer.
Stitt more is it true, that there. has been
with us a great want of due art:testi:re and
importunity in prayer—the effebtail,efervent
prayer which prevails with ,God. . Our
prayer has not been like that of Jacob, in
that memorable night when he Wrestled with
the Angel of the Covenant all night long,
even until the morning, saying i "I will not
let thee go except thou bless me -" and ob
tained the new name Israel, became he was
a prince, and prevailed with Go 4. It has
not been like that of the woman of' , Canaan,
who came.to'jesukon behalf of lierdaugh

THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE
It is difficult for us to enlarge our hearts and to
strengthen our faith, to embrace the exceeding
great promises of God's Word. Accustomed to
see the people of God a little flock, and the whole
world lying in wickedness, we scarce know how
to frame our thoughts to conceive of the condition
of things, when multitudes of the people shall
crowd the gates of God's temple, flocking as doves
to their windows ; when they shall all be righteous;
when they shall not say, every one to his neighbor,
Know the Lord ; because they shall all knowliim
from the least to the greatest. We judge of •the
things which shall be from the things which have
been. We make our eight the measure of our faith.
When we stand in the valley of vision and look
around upon men dead in sin, and are asked,
"Can these bones live?" we scarcely, have
faith even to say, "Lord, thou knowestl" tat
is the. arm of Jehovah shortened ? Is , anything
too hard for God ? Know ye not whit ia l the ex
ceeding greatness . of his power which he irkanght
in Christ when he raised himirom. the !Jebel 'end
set him at his own right hand in -heavenly
places? Ile who is the restis'eption and;the i llfis •
has said, " Thy dead men shall live: together
with my dead body shall they-artie." "'Net by,
might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, salth the
Lord." Are ye straitened in God? Are ye not
straitened in yourselves? Enlarge your heart.'
Strengthen your faith. "Bring ye all the tither
into the storehouse, that there mayrbe meat •In
mine hmise, and prove me :herewith, saiih' the
Lord of hosts, if Twill not open the windoini of
heaven and pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room to receive !me
