Spring-Time, AY MARTHA L. COOK I), gentle Spring, thy sunny light Spreads happiness around; There's beauty now in every sight, Mesielu every Bowl. ThTweloome smile awakes to bloom Each lowly flower of earth ; Each streamlet, from its icy tomb; Breaks forth in soands of mirth. I hear the murmur of the bee, Borne on the Bouthern breeze ; And songs of birds, all blithe and free, Amid the budding trees. - How sweetly breaks the morning light Upon the Eastern ky ! How softlY fades the gloom of night,' When day's Gallia dawn is nigh ! Hail, glorious sun! whose constant light Bath never ceased to shine; As day succeeds, the gloom of night, In harmony Divine. Year after year the harvest fields Their bounty still bestow; The clustering vine its treasure yields, Fair flowers forever grow. Rich blessings round our daily path In swift succession rise ; Bach hour some new-found pleasure bath, Bright joy that never dies. So bath it been, and may we plead, Great' God,. thy meroy still ; • Bend us a gift for every need, A. balm for every ill. And while the rolling years advance, And we thy blessings share; . 0, give us hearts of 'gratitude, To thank thee for thy care. Lebanon, Pa., - Afarch 151 k, 1858. Der aid Presbyterian Banner and Advocate. Pastoral Letter.. The Presbytery of Redstone deem it proper to address a Pastoral Letter to you, the churches under our care, relating to the religious edueation of your youth. Our airci is to present you spotless unto . Christ; and we learn from his holy . Word that,the proper culture of the youth, whom he has committed 'to your care,, is regarded by him an' net iehly irnportant for their wel fare, but is' also inseparably Connected by him with your own spiritual - well-being.— Song : 8. Whilst, therefore, you accredit us as God's ministers, laboring for your, good, ; you will not fail to receive from us affection ate instruction and assistance, and, if need be, faithful admonition. We specify a fov'partioulars. First. God has placed the' responsibility Of L IU training of your youth mainly upon yen. Shall they receive any culture or- shalt they be- per mitted to remain in all the ignorance and. rudeness of uncultivated nature? are ques tions for you to answer. -And this =is 'true both as to the kind, as well as _the degree, of education. Shall it relate only to the body? or shall it also inolude the mind ? Shall it appertain only to time and " things seen and temporal?" or 401 it be adapted to prepare your precious yoith for eternal life and hap piness ? Dear brethren, when we reflect upon this weighty responsibility that rests upon you,., and then advert to the fact that many parents seem unconscious that their children have mental oapaoities, and immortal souls also,' we are pained and cannot refrain. When' we know that God holds parents responsible for the guidance and control of their e.hil dren in this high interest, and also knew that often they perniit the caprices and uu intelligent preferences of their youth to shape their entire , fiture destinies in this respect, feellhat we would he false to our trust in general, and false to our duty to you in partieular, if we did not , earnestly protest against Buell a , weak•minded, l and guilty compliance. When 'you, dear 'parents, are called to give account of this' abused trust, ,will it justify, you to say, " Co, my child was so bent upon it, and his young companions were so impel.- tunste, that I had to yield." Would , it not be more worthy of your profession and priv ileges to say, respecting each member of rue_ " How can I best promote God's glory as to this child, and how secure its highest welfare ? Shall I 'strive to prepare it phystoally, •mentally, and. religiously, for some high Ober° of usefulnees or shall I content myself' with the thought that God has intended iV for • the mere purposes of an animal life, and, therefore, abandon it to-its own 'will?" And if the -way should open up that your child.may receiva.a thorough edu cation, does not this responsibility, 'require you to watch over every step of its progress? Will it allow you to trust to the mere pop lar fame of an, institution of learning, and there send. your precious but'eadly suseepti.., ble offspring with. no Adequate vouchers, as to the example and the precepts which must mould their morals and habits ? Will not this responsibility require you to go with your sons and daughters' to the boarding hoUses, which, for a time, muit be their homes; not mainly to see that they have suitable food' and lodging, but chiefly to see if God worshipped there, and to know, as well es you may be able, what is the character of those who are to be the in timate companions of your children? Will it permit you to send them 'where there is mental training only, be it ever so extended and thorOugh, and the heart's training en tirely neglected Or will this divinely imposed responsibility .permit - you to send where the religious training—if there be anything that claims that appellation—is in many important respects contrary to your own enlightened convictions of truth and duty? If thus you act; beloved parents, , the rendering of your account to , Ged must , he a. matter of grief and not of joy to you. But we hope better things or you though we thus speak, for such a course of conduot would be a plain violation oflour solemn vows, when you publicly covenanted, in bap tism, to bring up your children "'bl i the nur ture and adthenition of the Lord."'''' Second. , ',We entreat you to set - a „higher value o n an... : Rxtended education of- your youth. Wellman) of course, sueh edu cation as a nidriVanfr intelligent crestUr should receive. Be not discouraged because the cost will be considerable. A cheap edu cdtion is, ordinarily, worse than worthless, because it is insufficient, and precludes the possibility of a better one; whilst a judicious expenditure here, even if it be large, is the beet possible investment. We deprecate the narrow•minded policy which is content with au inferior article because it costs less than a superior one ; and especially is this policy disastrous when it consigns a hopeful youth Ito comparative obscurity, and abates his hap piness and .nsefulness through his entire future life. And we are not without evi -denoe that, in some cases, this unfortunate policy exists amongst us. Does any one bear the name -of Presbyterian who. would abandon the thorough.and enduring educa tion of our tried, and accredited : schools,_ because, forsooth, it may costa few dollars more per annum than at some other institu tions. May the day never dawn when such a sordid policy shall'find many to adopt it. Our Presbyterian birthright of eminence in solid learning cost our fathers and mothers' too dearly, and is in itself too valuable to be thus basely sold for the paltry sum by which it exceeds, in cost, the cheaper and inferior learning, which impudently• exalts itself. We hula thousand fold bather see the stand ard of educational requirement raised higher and let the cost rise proportionally, than that any one requirement be'omitted and the cost abated. "it cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. The gold and the crystal can not equal it; and the exebangei of it shall not be for jewels of most tine gold.• .No mention, shall be made, of coral or ; of pearls; for the price of wisdom is above rubies!! If God in his wisdom withholds -a liberal education from your child, receive the ,dis pensation with meekness and with, perfect assurance that this is best; but see well to it, dear parents, that you do ,not needlessly withhold this priceless inheritance and give, in its stead, the greatly inferior value—the , money which it would• have cost. See well to it also that you do not abate the happi ness and the =usefulness of your child, by giving an inferior education when a trifling addition in cost would have more amply fur nished him for life's duties and• enjoyments. , Again we entreat you Ao set a higher valua tion upon a thorough symmetrical education than you do upon the pecuniary cost of it. The third point in this epistle is to remind you, that there is a proper spirit of denomi national loyalty, which is as needful in' the different branches of the church as national loyalty is in the • different States and Empires of the world. The great family of.mankind ; is best cared for when each division of it is most faithful to- its own, particular.interests. The same principle holds good in the house- , hold of faith. Let each branch of the Church look well after its own interests, and :the whole -body will be best conserved. What then shall be said of the 'wlidorn and the loyalty of those membeni of Otiichureites who ignore Ourowir institutions of learning and patronize thoSe which are not in any , degree responsible to us, nor manageable by our control, - and which indeed- teach dec. trines and =practices will& are, in important respects, directly opposed to our- faith and practice ? , The limits of a Pastoral Letter,- do-not permit us more than just *to ,advert ,t 0..: the cruelty and peril of exposing , tender, and , susceptible youth in this manner. Neither can we more than mention that sad domestic disbord and a scattering of families amongst different denominations, often has been super imbibed' by thig thoughtless and pernicious . conduct. But we must not close without asking a serious thoUght upon this view of your duty to your brethren, viz.--'--If some Imay abandon our own system and' prefer' others, why not all? In that Cage, what' must become of the-institutions founded - 'by Aie prayerful and strenuous efforts of our fathers, and which have ,been baptized by. the outpourings of the Holy Spirit, and abundantly owned of God as fountains of saving influences, both for the State and for the Churoli ? What would be your sentence in the case, should the ministers, of our denomination, give their influence to insti tutions whose character. was either unknown, or negative, or considerably oppqsed to the Standards they have vowed to suppert No doubt your verdict would be cendemna don and punishment to the extent of the law; nor can we think of a' syllable that could be uttered, why your sentence shoUld not be executed. Now it requires no subtle nor 'lengthy 'argument to show that it is worse for you, the people, thus to act; for the influence of ministers in this matter is mainly advisory and indirect, -but yours is absolute and libel: After a great expenditure of time, money, and effort, we have established nnuter,.;us institutions of loarning of every grade; some of Which are fully under our ecelesiastioal control; and many others, perhaps in no respect inferior to these, are modeled and carried on much as we would desire them , to be. Some of them have endured the trial of many years. We have scrutinized them closely and afterwards intelligently and eon scientiously commended them. You will not ,then be surprised to hear. us say that we esteem it disloyal to your Church, and a positiye breach of good"laith, to.prefer, other institutions, to our own. If in , any. impor tant respects our own are unsuitable—and this has often occuried—is it not the dictate of common sense that you should take steps to correct whatever may be defective ; for they are - our own',' we can do with them as we please; and we surely have both the skill and the ability to mould them' according to our pleasure. But surely we shall not be'so insane as to abandon , them, ,because they have defects and thus break a right arm of our strength and efficiency. - We desire these considerations to have effect, so far as they are applicable, upon our Presbyterial Academy. of Dunlap's Creek. Its constitution was moulded .by our own hands. Its literary and religious.charaoter has our unqualified confidence and approba; tion. Its students are found amongsti.the foremest wherever 'they go ; and already some of them have received the highest honors of the colleges in which they have completed their classic studies; and a goodly: proportion of them are already, laboring in the great Gospel vineyard, "enduring hard nese.as good soldiers ; Whilst others of them are ,pressing forward with the same aims, hopes, and prospects. Its teachers are of ourselvei; they are brethren, beloved, .hon ored, and confided in. And above all, the 4,, Holy Spirit has:Set to lASI Seal, so that, we "ONE THING IS NEEDFUL:" "ONE THING HAVE I DESIRED OF THE LORD:" "THIS ONE THING I DO." PUBLICATION OFFICE, GAZETTE BUILDING, FIFTH STREET, ABOVE SMITHFIELD, PITTSBURGH, PA. FOR THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1858. can now say of numerous ones, " This and that man was born in her;" and our faith is that "The Highest himself shall establish her." This institution has had to contend against low views and parsimonious action, and to struggle with the various trials inci dent to the beginning of nearly all •similar irkstitUtinns. But we know of nothing con nected with it which Should discourage its friends, or abate our prayers and efforts on its behalf. And when parents shall duly appreciate their responsibility to. God in reference, to the religious, edneatien of their children ; when they shall learn to estimate the intelleCtual and moral elevation of, their children above money ;`and when` they Alan learn that a true cheartalloyalty to their own Presbyterian heritage is the best charity, and the i best way to, promote the true unity of the Church, of Christ; then this Academy,, and all Our institutions - of learning where a thorough synitnetriell 'education -'is given; shalbprosper; and the :beauty of the Lord our God shall be ,upon up. • Resolved, That a copy of this Pa.stnraj, Letter be sent to the Presbyprian Ranier and Advocate, with a request that it be pub -, • r fished.
