They tell me, Christian friend, that thou, The golden slopes art journeying o'er; with their Autumn•tinted verdure, Shadow the silrer•aanded shore •Of the broad stream flowing between -This earth and Canaan's banks of green. And dost thou find the sure descent Toilsome and painful, sad and slow ? Is•most thy failing visioti bent Upon the stream, whose solemn flow Enoiroles-with its ohilliug bud The beauties of the better land ? Nay, know we not that lorig ago, One, with a gentle eye and hand, Marked mountain side and valley low, And e'en left footprints in the sand, That thou nor I need seek in vain To find the highway o'er the plain? And know He not that loving lips Spoke sweeter words than angel's song, And sealed them in our souls, that we Might bear them with us all life-long? Words for our guidance and our cheer, A lamp to make our pathway clear. And trust we not that angel bands A wall of Ere for our defenoe, Are forming with their joined hands: While, in hie lamb-like innocence, Our Saviottr-Shepherd guides our feet Toward'heavenly pastures green and sweet! Ah, sister! blessings on thy path Have dropped frono. Jesus' awned cross ; Sweet peace, we know, thy spirit hath, For thine le gain, and ours the loss; Fint thou shalt be a jewel set Within the Saviour's coronet. Lambertville, April, 1858. For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate. The Christian . Ministry : ITS DECLARED RESPONSIBILITIES; ITS' AC TUAL BEARINGS ON ALL THE GREAT IN TERESTS OF MEN. NO 2. That we may farther illustrate the dignity and the importance of the Christian• Minis try, we go on to remark the declared RE. SPONSIBILITIES of the office. That cannot: be, an Institution of trivial important:43i of inferior interest, Which God's own declarations := have .clothed with such Wrful, such tremendous responsibilities. Witness some of, those official designations, wide' arc applied, to miaiaterte' , "They'are milled Watchmen. A watchman is one who is set to guard the interests of the camp or city in times of peril. And eolmportant is the trust committed to his eare;that if when' danger impends, be is forind sleeping "at his post, or if for any cause he should fail to give the alarm, and thus betray his truet, be would do it at the forfeiture of his life. Ministers are sentinels about the camp of God. They are watchmen on Zion's walls. They are set to watch for souls as those that must give , .acaount. They cannot sleep; they cannot prove unfaithful, but the inter ests of the Church must suffer. They jeep ard the salvation of their fellow-men ; and, es a just punishment of their treachery to Zion's King, they, run the imminent hazaad of pulling down double ruin on their own souls. Theme aro the terms of their corp. mission : " Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel : there fore, hear the word at my mouth and giVe them Warning from me. When I say ,unto the wicked man, thou shalt surely die ? mid thou give him not warning, the same wicked', man shall die in his iniquity, but his blond' will I require at thine hand:" That office' must be important when a failure in vie . - lance, in fidelity in the discharge of its functions, has such an issue. ' Ministers, too, are called Ambassadors. "Now, then, we are ambassadors for. Christ, as though God did beseech you by us," &o. An ambassador is a messenger or commis sioner sent from one court or nation toau other, to treat of high matters of State, af feeling the great interests of both gevern ments, that which he represents, and that, to which he is deputed. And how much often depends upon the skill and fidelity with which he discharges the trust commit ted to him. Here one wrong step, one im proper Utterance, a single failure in duty, may result in consequences most disastroui. On the manner in which the trust is dis charged, the prosperity or ruin of Empires and nations may depend., ' Ministers are ambassadors sent by Heav en's King to declare his.will—to negotiate a peace between our revolted world and its offended Sodereign. Here, in this trust, are involved, not the interests..of earth merely, but those, too, of heaven. On the appropriate and faithful discharge of duty, here, depends not merely the temporal ; weal or woe of men. But here, the honor' of God, and the interests of the soul—in- tenets too mighty for human thought or hu man utterance, which are infinite and eter nal, are concerned. Those who bear this office are stewards of the mysteries of God', appointed to preside over the affairs of his family, to dispense the spiritual provisions of his house. They are bishops, overseers, shepherds, who, un der the direction of the Chief Shepherd, are to feed, to guide, to govern the flock which be has purchased with his own blood. Ministers are emphatically declared to be the salt of the earth, the light of the world, the messengers of the churches, and the glory or Christ.' They are unto God, a sweet savor of Christ i in them that are saved, and in them that perish. To the one they are the savor of life unto life, and to the other they are the savor of death unto death. We might notice 'other designations and titles applied to ruinisters, going to show the dread responsibilities Of their office;' but on this topic we shall hot dwell, but pro , teed, finally, to remark theACTUAL BEAR \ Dias of this office, on all the ,great interests 1 of men., \ When We speak of the inflifenee of the 'hristian Ministry, we wish to' lie sunder . ood, as referring to the Instittition, as i came, pure, and uncorrupted, the ha , d of the 'Founder. pay tione,.of our homage to that '4.!:4- ,,,, 14 ~k 4411* ra: b;if.t . 4 ONE THING IS NEEDFUL:" "ONE THING HAVE I DESIRED OF THE LORD:" "THIS ONE THING I DO." wretched and impious substitute which we have in the form of the Papacy—that was ter piece of Satan, to do the work of hell. This has had its way in lust and blood. The full story of the evils with which it has already cursed the Church and the world, must remain untold, until the day when God will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of all hearts. There are, too, the Apostles of error, who, under the garb of the minis ters of Christ, bring in damnable heresies; who beguile that they may destroy ; who turn the.grace of God into lasciviousness. And many follow their pernioious ways, through whom the way of truth is evil spo ken of. Through covetousness, and with feigned words, they make merchandise of souls. With such, we own no fellowship. Nor, with weak ,enthusiasts, ignorant pre tenders, who though under the influence of a disordered fancy, or a spirit of pride and self.righteousness imagine they have special fitness for the work, yet show their utter want of qualification. Who have evidently run without being sent. We admit, more over, that great injury has been done to,the cause of religion and of souls, by unsancti-, fled Men, who, though regularly set apart to the work, were not called of God,. as' was Aaron. And it is lamentably true, that good men, and those most eminently fitted for the work, are often so encompassed with infirinity, and so often act out of character, that they greatly mar their influence for good, do - injury to others, and bring reproach on the cause of Christ. Yet with all these admissions, we still maintain that the influ ence of the Christian Ministry, in its legiti mate bearings, is salutary, and only salutary. That itis adapted 'to promote, and that it does promote, all the most precious interests of men. We, of coarse, here regard the Ministry- in connexion wi th . the Bible, and with all, the Institutions of a genuine Christianity. The Christian Ministry, in relation to men, seeks to bring them under the power a.nd,in fluenee of • the Gospel. This, is its grand purpose. It takes man as he is; as a ores. ture - indeed God's noble 'workmanship but now in ruins. It finds him guilty, depraved, enfeebled and undone. And it seeks to restore him to what he once was yea, •to higher glory and happiness , than Eden ever knew. It seeks to correct,. ultimately, all that, is wrong in man's physical, intellectu al, moral, and 'spiritual,dature. And'where its influences are -brought 'to bear, it does, even in this life, meliorate his whole char aster and condition, to an'extent to which all other appliances combined can have no, pretension. And theu it prepares him for his high destinY in heaven. For,lwhat else can do for man, .in refer ence to his phpical cmistitution, s what the Gospel does ? • , ;i , Tire body dcesriadeed,,eentain ,the sees of decay and ' death. Under the power of the curse, it must'be subject to disease, suf fering, and - dissolution. It must at last sink into the grave, and become a prey to putrefaction Farad;worms. But, under the Wise and, purifying economy which the Gos pel nreacribes, the phYsical evils incident to our condition, are, in fact, greatly lessened or greatly alleviated. And only let men's passions ; and appetites, and vicious propen-, shies, every, where be brought under the Gospel's restraining, power. Let men use the world so is not to abuse it. Let them observe that sobriety, and temperance, - and moderation,' in all things,' which it enjoins. Let them cease to employ their bodily,mem hers as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin, and employ them as instruments of rikhteousness unto God. Ina word, let all men adopt for—their governing principles, the principles of • the Gospel, and love of God and their fellows, and they would en joy better health, live longer, and more than half the diseases and bodily sufferings which' now alio the race; Would be un known. And'brighter realizations of good, in, reference to our physical condition, would , bless our world, than poetic faney has ever predicated of the fabled golden age. And: then, too, there is the influence which the Christian Ministry sheds upon man's intellectual being. And here all other agencies combined put not forth - half the efficiency to develop, 0-strengthen, and rightly to direct the powers of the 'mind. It may be the policy of a selfish and an ambitious priesthood, to discourage the gen eral diffusion of knowledge. A sanctified ignorant .stupidity, either in or out of the pulpit, may decry.the value of human learn ing. But an, intelligent Christian Ministry, while it owns no fellowship with old wives' fables and oppositions of science; falsely so called, has ever been, and will ever be, the patron of sound science, of genuine learn ing. These are in fact, and emphatically the foster children of the Ministry. The rising sun does not more certainly dispel the darkness of the night, and send out its beams to' warm and to vivify, than does an intelligent Christian Ministry, wherever it comes, shed forth as influence to enlighten .and- to elevate.- That cannotiongrenaain an ignorant community where 4srich a Ministry M enjoyed. And we repeat it, and for , the truth of our position, we, appeal to history 'and to , fact, that the•cause of sound science andlearning owes less for its inornotion, to any and to all other agencies combined, than to this Institution--the Christian .Ministry. But itis a reference to the actual bearing of the Christian Ministry on man's moral and spiritual nature and condition, that es pecially indicates its iniportance and its worth. We will, hiiwever, reserve further remarks on this topic, for a future article. NOMINIS UMBRA. The Christian. The Christian has to gc; forth into the world. There, his profession calls upon him not only to avow religious -sentiments, but to be an example of the virtues which all' men can understand; to live ,a Jife,,of truth, of honor„ of manly courage, and manly kindness; to abjure and detest all meanness and insincerity, and to take as his law the rule of Christ—to do to others as he would that they should do to him. And - to do this, not because. it is " good policy," "will pay in the end," or " will ensure • respect," but, under the sovereiguanthority of a principle of righteousness ; which, whilst it regulates everything in this life, ri s es far above it and stretches far beyond it--tbat,,,prin,ciple, a lifp o pf rightponsnes, with 'men,' because of fellowship with Gods siiilinikih r e that to` live, sushi life. .1 1 ;1. ,a4.4u,w PUBLICATION OFFICE, GAZETTE BUILDING, FIFTH STREET, ABOVE SMITHFIELD, PITTSBURGH, PA. FOR THE WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, JULY 10, ISSS, amidst the temptations that beset us, is an easy work, free from difficulties and perils ? The Christian is a man—a being of human wants, sympathies, and passions. Personal and family cares press upon him, demanding foresight, diligence, and skill ; and troubles come : as you have seen the, rising waters on the sea-shore, so at times _troubles come in like a flood. And mark the men with whoni he frequently Insete mvn whose lives are bounded by time, whose affectioes' are centred upon earth, whose energies are put forth with enthusiastic determination, to win the things of time,, and whose suc cess not only gives 'them abundance, but enables' them :to 'offer snpereilions 'pity or patronage to the man who has made sacrifices for those higher principles by,which he en deavors to live. Is there no clanger of catching the, spirit of such men,, and aq tually living to the world While professingtb live to G-od'?• 'Bat. the Christian has' an , "unction from- the 'Holy One." A wel come precious truth I, But the work of the adorable Spirit is net to deaden your_ slise,p tibilities and supersede, your energies ; but to illuminate and strengthen, to suggestmo tives and warn of danger—Lin short, 'to quicken the-,soul ; so thatit isthe man who repents, believes, accepts the yoke of,Christ, puts on the whole armor of .God, and the Captain of salvation, conquers the world, and stands 'against the wiles of the devil. To live the life of a Christian is a great work, dernandingdetermination and energy. Have you considered it Khave You commenced it? " Whatsoever. thy hand findeth to do, ,do it with thy might,, fer there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor , wisdom in the grave,' whither thou guest."—The Sudden Stimmons,'by the Rev. W H Dyer. ' • The Preacher and•the Robbers. , A Methodist' preaeher,, several years ago, in Ireland; was. journeying to the village where he; had to dispense .the word 'of life, according to the usual routine of his duty, and was stopped on his te-ay , by three robbers. One of them seized his bridle reins, another presented a pistol and demand ed his money, and the third was a mere, looker-O'M , The grave and'devoted man looked each and all of 'therein the face, '9..mt With great gravity and seriousness said': 4 ‘ Friends, can you pray to God' before you eommit the deed?' Gat you ask God to bless you in your undertakings to day ?" These questions startled them for a mo ment. .Recovering themselves,' arte said " have-no time to answer- stitch ques tions; we want your money; we must have bur will?' .4 t. "I am a poor preseher of the .Gospel;"' , .was,tlie,reply; . 4 f if you give mo nothing, do not try to take from me ,the . little I , have-. - ErOweieil'satiq' your thiret, ruin me, and answer it before the God who're I faithfully' serve ; the, little' money I have shall be given you." • A few shillings was all he had, to give, " Have you not a watch ?" " Yea. " " Well, then, give it to us." -.ln taking his viratch from his pocket, ihis saddle-bags were displayed. " What have you got here ?" was the question asked again," "I cannot say Thave nothing in them but religion:se hooks, because I have a pair of shoes and a change of linen also." , 44 We must have them." The preacher dismounted. The saddle bags were taken possession of, and no fur ther demandi were made. Instantly the preacher began to unbutton his great'ebat, and to. throw it off his shoulders, at the same, time asking .. • . 4 . 4 Will,you have my great coat ?" "No," was the reply; "you are a gene- Ems man, and we will notlake it." He then addressed :them: as Allows : ,",.1 have, given you everything you: asked for, and would have given more than you asked for, now I have .oply one favor to ask Of you." " What is that?"' ' " That you wilineel down• and allow me to pray with you and' pray .to Almighty God in your behalf; to ask' him to' turn your.hearts and put you upon better, wAys." "I'll have' nothing, to ,do, with t he , man ' s . things"' said the ringleader of them. • •"Norl either;” said another of them. Here, take your - watch .; 'taitsi %your" aa'adle:baga;, if we have anything 'to with You, the, judgments •God will oyer take us.'..' So all the articles mere retUrned.. That, however, 'did, not , satisfy the godly man. He urged prayer iipon them. He, kneeled down; one of the robbers kneeled -with him.;,que prayed, the other wept, confessed his sin, and said, it was the first time in his, lifehe ad - done such a thing, and should he the last. How far he kept , his word is known only to Hine to whom the darkness and the light, are alike -' to Him whose eye. lids.try the children of men. Parental Faithfulness. W was about four and a half years old. His heart was filled with a pride ithich could brook almobt anything but.submission to authority. One evening, having failed to do as he was hidden, his, father insisted upon being obeyed. He, replied with, deci 1i0n,," 1 icou/d rather he punish,ed than do it." " But," replied his father, " after you have been punished, you must.then obey." This was ,a new idea to W----, and.without further hesitation, he wisely ielded to his father's command. The 'object of parental punishment is .the maintenance - of parental authority, and all punishment that comes short of this end is vain. If the child regards the punishment as an exchange or an equivalent for disobe dience, be is in danger or feeling that he can purcbase a right to disobey, 'by holding himself in readiness to suffer chastisement: Disobedience is a result of the moral dis ease with which all are affected. Like the, diseases of the body, it has its season of crisis, when'ite particular phase is indicative of a decisive: change for better' or worse. At this, point /the welfare of the child de ponds, under,Qod, upon ,the , wisdom and firmness of ths . , : parent. ~, 5 „(9:1! •SPl9Pcioqn "Chasten thy aott while there is hope, and , let not thy soul spare for his crying!'
