Folded in tiny leaflets,
Unrevealed to mortal eyes,
Many a flower, most sweet and graceful,
it modest liteautry
Waiting but the charming sunshine,
And the gently falling dew,
To one its znatobless beauties
To the world's admiring view.
And the child—its hidden graces,
Like the bud with foldedleaves,
Linger but for smiles and eunshino
Which a friendly ism) can give,
Ere they bust tbe clasping petals,
Ete the human bud expands,
And reveal the wondrous favors

The infant church which has been gath
ered in by Rev. C. H. Ewing, in West
Philadelphia, has likewise taken fresh strides
toward success. The church is made up
chiefly of families given to the pastor as
seals of his ministry. They have bad added
to them of late, an eldership, and are now en
gaged building a neat and commodious house
of praise. The lot was bestowed to the church
by Mrs. Sarah Miller, widow of the late
Samuel Miller, tt.D., of Princeton. Thus
the good work is progressing. God can
prosper na if we but place our trust and
confidence in him. He oln work and no
man can hinder him We hall see still
greater things, if we have faith to seek
them, and hearts to give unto him the glory
due to his name.
The election has been the principal topic
of general temporal interest, the week past.

withit a motherless child, two years Old;
seated by my side, and with a mind de
.
pressedwith aftliCtion; I lost my road,:
Seeink 6, 'grouri' of men at a distance, I
drove up to them and inquired for the road
to W—. One'of the-group, dressed in a
garb such as Methodist ministers wore thirty:
or forty years ago, before' they ,adopted the
fashions of the dayovery-politely, offered to
put 'me on the right way, as be, was going
to travels mile or two in that , direction.
After. .thanking him for his kindness, on'
we started, and•jn a few momenta the fol
lowing dialogue was commenced : "Are yon
not," said he, " a professor of religion ?"
Yak sir." "Are ..you a " professor?"
" TO. whit Church do you be
long?" ""To 'the Presbyterian." "To
What Church, ,do you belong ?" , To the
Methodist ?" A, few years ago • the Pres
byte4n Oka& was, divided into Old and
New School ;.Ito which of the divisions do
..yota,ha j loog?" "To the Old School" "A
' fe'v years ago the Methodist Church was
di*ided'ipto Episcopalians and Protestants
to Which of the division 'do 3411" *belong ?I.
.
"To 'the Methodiat' Church." "
" Are:You a minister ?" "Yes, Sir."' '" Are
you a minister ?'" 4 Yes; sir." .44 Well,''.,
said he, " there are many wiry talentiug,
learned, and pious' ministers 'in your Old.
School Church, but they all hold some very
erroneous doctrines." " Thank you, sir ;
will you be so kind as to mention some of
them." " Well, one of the worst is in this
language: (The number- of the elect is so,
certain and definite that it cannot be either
increased or diminished! Now, this is a
pretty hard doctrine for any set of men profess.
ing Christianity to believe." " Well, sir, that
is your own doctrine, taught in, your own
Creed, in stronger language, if possible, than
it is taught in ours, and why do yoxt reject
it 7" At the : utterance of this reply, if a
man's countenance be any index to the
thoughts of his heart, the language of the
inner man was, you are , one of the most
unprincipled, impertinent, reckless Calvin
ists that I have ever found on this paltry
globe. "Our Creed teaches no such Cal
vinistic dogma, and neither you nor any
other man • can prove that it so teaches."
" Sir, if you will answer me a few very
simple questions, you shall 'have the proof,
and it shall' be sitisfactorY to yourself, and
any other Man of common ilense." " Give
us your questions, then.",
"Did not your General Conference, sev:
eral years previous t 0.1812, examine , your
•Doetrinal•Tracts, approve, and order them
to -be published in the same volume with
your Disoipline 7" "I believe they did."
" Did not the General Conference, in 1312,
order them to be left out of the Discipline;
and, that they might still be within the
reach of every reader, direct. Ibtun. to be

cording to this, his foreknowledge, he chose

.guage is, that from the .foundation of the
world, or from eternity, God knew that's
part of ourifallen race mould become 4 oho
dient believers,' and all these he predesti
nated or „elected to salvation. Of. course,
then, your. Creed, teaches that. the number
of -the elect from eternity is just as certain,
AA& definite and fixed as the foreknOwledge
of <qofil if one more or one less. ; ,will be
saved than was included in,the niumber,of
the elect., from,, eternity, the Divine fore
knowledge would prove a failure: And
then, again, if the number of the elect, ac
cording to your Creed, be certain, the mini
ber of the reprobates must be as >certain;
for all those not ineluded in' the former,
number, must be 'included in the latter.
But one the-same page your Creed says t ,:by
, the pen of k John Weeley,',,'And 130.1ikerriaa
he .predestinates or -fore-appointa all disobe

foreknowledge, he, refused, or reprobated, all

We hereby.recommend to all our brethren and
churches, cordially to entertain the cause of Sab

diate supervision; but iilso as conducted upon the
principles of said Union ; and that contributions
to its Missionary Fund be made on the'firet Sab
bath of February, or as near to that time 'as may
be convenient.
Resolved, That it affords us peculiar pleainre
to have heard"that the entire loss incurred by the
fraudulent transactions of ihe late'Secretiry, has
been personally assumed by a few devoted'friends
of the Institution:most of whim' itre :Managers,
which is surely a display of glint Christian mag

Whereas, Owing to the greet financial distress
through an the North-West, for the past year,
nothing has been-done toward advancing the in

whieb, in so far as the land is concerned, is now
considered as forfeited by delay ; therefore,

Resolved, That this Synod,` duly apprecialing
the importance and past efficiency of the Board
of Domestic Missions, deeply deplores the exist
once of any cause of dissension among iti,mem
hers; and especially ',the excited conteovertl
which hes sprung up on the subject of the Asso
ciate; Secretaryship, tending, as it may, to weaken
the confidence of the churches in the Board.
Resoi,ved, That this Synod still cherishes confi
(lends in, the wisdom, and fidelity of the B,,ard,
and trusi,,that in the practice of strict economy,
they will, under the guidance of the Spirit of
GUd, adopt snob measures as shall not controot,
but greatly expand the 6ph.re of operation hith
erto occupied; find that the next General Assem
bly will' be able to dispose of the existing diffi
culty in a manner satisfactory to all, and for the
hest interests of the Church of Jesus Christ.

VERMIFUGE
LIVER PILLS.
WE beg leave to rail the atten
tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. Chas. Nines Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but sirup,' for
what their name purports; viz.:
THE V'ERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms froth the
human system. It has also been
administered -with -the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
VTR LIVER PILLS,
For thecure of LivEx COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DBILAIsIGF*ENTS,, SICK
HiAD-ACHE, &c. 'tmes of
FEVER AND AGUE ,
preparatory , to:or after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
a 'speedy and permanent cure.
As, specifics for the above men
tioned diseases, ;they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
I MI
Their unprecedented popularity
hasinduced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully. engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And-being de
termined that Dr. M'Lane's.Cele
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and com
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to
FLBffiRG BRO& Pittsburgh, Pa.
P. S. Dealers and Physicians ordering from others
than Fleming Bros, will do well, to write their orders
distinctly, and take none but Dn./17471e5, p)v i .wed by
Fleming Bros. Pittsburgh, Its. To those wishinfii to give
them a trial, we will forward per mail, post paid, to any
part of the United States, one box of Pills for twelve
three-cent postage stamps, or one vial of "fermifege for
fourteen threecent stamps. Mt orders from Canada must
be accompanied by twenty cents extra.
