In Memory of MART MUMS, daughter of B. T.
arid Eliza A. Patton, who died of croup, in
Brownsville, Pa:, November the 80th, 1868, aged
two years and thirteen days.
Diary, sad thy mother weepeth
For thy loss my cherished one;
Since forever now thou steepest
In the silent grave alone.
Now, above thy lonely dwelling,
Look the stars in silence down,
While the dirge like winds are swelling,
And the night clouds darkly frown.
Darling, it was hard to lay thee
In thy cold and narrow bed ;
0 1 't was anguish to convey thee
To the dwelling of the dead.
Dearest of our household treasures,
Sunbeam ever in our home,
Still I heat; thy foot-fall measures,
Still I list to hear thee come.
But thou never more shalt cheer us,
With thy mild and winning ways ;
Yet, oh, sometimes linger near us,
Passing through life's chequered maze;
Teaching us a sweet submission
To our heavenly Father's will,
And while bowed in meek , contrition,
May we whisper, " ream, be still."

THE THEOLOGY Of CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE.
Designed as an Exposition of the "Common
Faith" of the Church of God. By George D.
Armstrong, D.D., Pastor of the Presbyterian
church of Norfolk, Va. New" York : Scrib
ner, 124 Grand Street. Pittsburgh : John S.
Davison, 93 Wood Street. Pp. 342. 1868.
This book was not written from any momen
tary impulse, but the subject of which it treats
has occupied the author's thoughts, to a greater
or less extent, during a laborious, varied, and
suocessful pastoral life of twenty years. He has
selected the title, " Theology of Christian -Ex
periehoe," because the " Common Faith" of
which he writes is one at which Christian. arrive
by the study of the Word of God, 'and because it
is this "Common Faith "alone which fully ex
plains and illustrates the Christian experience of
the child of God in the world. In treating of
this "Common Faith," the author overthrows the
cavil of the infidel and Romanist, based on the
alleged want of uniformity among Evangelical
Churches ; shows the thinking man of the world
what our "Common Faith" is; aids the inquirer
in ascertaining what this experimental religion is
of which Christians speak; guides the young
Christian in the study of Divine truth ; and as
sists older disciples in their efforts to acquire
greater distinctness and consistency in their re
ligions views and opinions.

This little;book has an attractive exterior, and
its contents are valuable and instructive, while
:.we...
of the different accounts given by Matthew,
Mark, and Luke, of the 'healing of Blind Bar
tinieus, is shown, and upon this history the
author sets forth hod a sinner, ignorant of Godie
method of salvation, and blind to the truth of 'his
Word, is brought to the knowledge of the truth
as it is in Jesus, and led forward toward the
perfect light. It is a beautiful bringing out of;
the full circumstanoes connected with the mirac
ulous cure of Bartimeus, an interesting grouping
of the various incidents, and a faithful and able
setting forth of the prini3iples and lessons to be
learned therefrom ; whilst every position taken,'
every duty inculcated, and every promise or iiope
held up, is illustrated or sustained by most abun
dant Scriptural references.

This admirable Series of School Books consists
of a Pictorial Primer, a Speller, Analyzer and
Definer ; First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth
Readers ; High School Meader, Young Ladies'
Reader, and School Speaker... Froni this it will be
seen that this reading course, for ''Common
Schools, is full and complete, and the considera
tions in its favor are many and important. The
publishing house, Messrs. Ivieon & Phinney, from
which they are issued, is one of very high and
reliable character. The author, Mr. Sanders,
has made the eubjeot of common schools his ex
clusive study for nearly a (nailer of a century,
and has in an eminent degree, the taste, spirit,
and qualifications suitable for such an undertak
ing as he has here accomplished, under a deep
sense of the responsibility he has incurred.
These nine books are all connected with each
other, and form enocessive stages of a uniform
plan ; each one takes the pupil at the precise
point where the preceding one left him, so that
no breaks or violent transitions are experienced.
The selections have been :made with great care;
and'exoellent judgment, eMbodying in the course
all the qualitiee ot ; expression; idiom, style, and

THE PRESBYTERIAN B
Etft
For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate.
The Laws of Moses.
Another evil which, before the time of
Moses, bad become so common, that its law
fulness or innocence seems not to have been
doubted, or called in question by any, was
simultaneous polygamy. The reader will
see, by turning to Deut. xxi : 15-17, that
the judicial law permitted or tolerated this
evil. That is to say, the Jewish magistrate
Iva directed, instead of attempting to abol
ish this ancient usage, to connive at it un
der certain prescribed regulations. If po
lygamy was then as almost all admit that it
is new, morally wrong and offensive to OW,
we have here another evidence, that the ju
dicial law was not intended as a rule of duty
—not intended to show what was right .and
what was wrong, as pertaining to the con
science, but as a rule of government and
judicature by which the magistrate, in his
official capacity, was to be guided.
Many speak of polygamy.as having been
entirely innocent during the continuance of
the Old Testament dispensation. - They,af
firm that there was then no law against it.
How are we to understand this Does it
mean that" lie moral law was silent on this
subject, until our Lord or his apostles
amended it by, adding a clause prohibiting
polygamy ? Or does it mean that during
the period, or at leaet a part of 'the period
froin Adam to• Christ, the Lawgiver die
perised with or suspended so much of the
moral law as prohibits polygamy ? •
In -opposition • to the first alternative, I
appeal to the history of the creation, and of
the institution of marriage—the,very argu-
ment which our Lord urged against the
Pharisees, (Matt. xix 4-6 ;) the same ar
gument which the Prophet (MAL . : 16,)
urged against -the Jews in his day. It is
true, that both our Lord and the Prophet,
in the passages referred to, are arguing
against unjust divorCe, whieh was the pre
vailing
.sin of the times, polygamy having
almost disappeared from amongst the Jews.
But their argument concludes with full as
much force against the latter, as against the
former. " The reason/ says Scott, " equal
ly determines against polygamy; for from
the beginning it was not so. -If from the
beginning the law of nature :was against
polygamy, and if the law of- nature on this,
subject was indicated in the creation oEbut
one wife for the first man, then those who
say that there was no law against polygamy
under the old Testament, are certainly 'mis
taken.
Besides, the New. Testament °entail/8 no
legislation on this subject; in other Ards,
there-oan be found in it no enactment or law
prohibiting polygamy. That there are pas
sages from which its sinfulness may, be in
ferred, - very true. 'But are there not
such passages in the_ Old Testament, also
Not to speak of Lev. 18, which many
of the best critics consider an express pro.
hibition of this evil, the inferential proof
from Gen. ii : 24, and Mal. ii :,15, seems as
conclusive as any which the New Testament
contains.- No doubt we, who possess both,
have clearer evidence of the sinfulness of
polygamy, than they had who lived before
the> New Testament was published; but
whether the New,, -apart from the Old,
would be more explicit on this point, is
another question.
Butaperhaps most of those who contend for
the entire innocence of polygamy, under the
Old Testament, willyieferthrether-ifferria
tive noticed above. Their idea perhaps is,
that it Was. always contrary to thelaw of na.
tore ; but the Author of that law was pleased,
during the patriarchai age, and Mosaio dis
pensation, to dispinie with so much orit, as'
prohibited simultaneous polygamy. Thus
Horne, in his , Introduction, says : "But
though God, as supreme lawgiver, had pow
er to dispentie with hitoown, law; and iota.,
ally did to with the Jews for the more'
speedY,peopling - of the werld, yet it is cer
tain there is no such toleration under the,
Christian dispensation, and therefore their
example is no ' rule at • this day." Withimt
stopping to inquire whether- polygamy is
adapted to answer the end, which Home as
cribes to it, viz , the more rpeedy peopling
of, the world, which, to' ay the least, is very
doubtful, I should Abe gratified to learn, from
those who adopt this view of the, subject, ai
'what time this supposed - dispensation_ comi
menced—was it before or after the introduce
tion of polygamy, into the fain* of Cain ?
How, and to`whom, was this dispensation
made known, and at what precise, time did
it terminate, and the moral law on this sub
jeet resume its' former authority.? While
the dispensation continued, how many wives
did 'it permit a man to have at the same
time ? Abraham had two, Jacob tour, Gid
eon and David, each, "many," and Solo-.
12:1 011 one thousand, including concubines, or
secondary Wives. Was the dispensation
such as 'to cover all these oases, and warrant
a man in taking as many wives as he could
obtain; or was able to support ? Audifnot,
what, were its limits ?
True it is, these and 'many' ether cases of
polygliny ere roccirded without any expres
sion of disapprobation in `the passage eon•
coining the rec - 0rd.. 1 Poi =evenin the ease
of Solomon the disapprobation implied,

the 'that they. relate Without any

graceful sins even of those whem the same
Soripturee cemmended as having "'pleased

is liltagether, Unlike the'work of impostors,
lEut'it is not for our imitation, nor yet to.
teach us that acd" eier appieved Of these
Ahings, pat 'they,are recorded; it is rather.
for our warning, to teach us not:tb trait in
I ourselves, but to take heed lest, we fall.
The remark of Turretin on ,this subject, is
not only true; ibut weighty and impertant
" Qaestions of morals must be- decided by.
laws, not by examples." In deciding 'What
id right and what is wrong, the example of
no man save Jesus of Nazareth; nay, the
example' of all' ot'h'er., men, .supposing all
others to agree, is,not,a safe guide.
It may be alleged that the 'polygamy 'of
the ancients, supposing it to have been kin•
ful,wras a sin in which they persisted all
their lives, and that such persistence in sin
is inconsistentwith that 'faith without which
it is impossible to please God. This is very
true of peraistence in known sin. , But
there can be no `doubt that in` this thing,
Abraham and others sinned ignorantly,•
being blinded by-the-prevalence all around
them of false views on this subject: - Opin
ions are contagious,• and When eMbodfedaso ,
as tolorm a strong current of. public' send•
meat, - the power with which they bear down
all that stands in their Itay, is not easily
-appreciated. Such a current of public
opinion in favor of polyg4y, seems to hare
prevailed for many ages '4'64 all the tribes,
of men, as it prevails. to ibis day in many
parts of Asia and Africa.
„No explanation
of the polygamy of good, men, under the
Old Testament, is BO satisfactory as that
which supposes them to hive been so carried
along by this current of -public sentiment,
so blinded by the prevalence of this sin all
around them as not to reflect, or once in
quire whether it was right: We have-wit
nessed something of the same kind in our
own day. How long is it, since even con
scientious men were so blind to the evils of
these drinking usages the have filled our
land with drunkenness, -and brought scandal
upon the Church, as to eOnntenance and en
courage those usages, by 'virtually "putting
their bottle to their neighbor's head, and
making him drunken 7"
It may be said thatvGed could have
broken this charm, and ;'given ; his people
such a revelation of the sinfulness of
polygamy as could not have been overlooked
or misunderstood. Very true; and he could
have prevented the entrance of sin into the
world, or, having permitted it to enter, he
could have preserved hie own people from
those falls . which are recorded of them.
Why he did not do so, its is vain and pre
snmptuons for us to inquire. We know
that there are wise and .00d,reasons for all
that he does, and for the l perrnission of all that,
he permits. But we ought not to think it

DR. CHURCHILL'S DISCOVERY!
Winchester's Genuine . Preparation of Dr. ,
Churchill's Compound of the
HYPOPHO.SPHITEa
_
OF TIMIE, SODA,' AND POTASH.
A SPZCIFIC NAOMI' FOR PR nue.mourr OF
CONSUMPTION:
The great Chemico-Medlcal Discovery of the celehritied
Dr. J. F. Churchill, of Paris, first made known by him to
the French .Academy of Medicine about two years ago.
marks a new and Important Era in the annals of Medical
Science.
•
Now, for the first time is the history of the world, has a
REMSDY been found that surely strikes at the very founds- ,
tion of, Pulmonary Disease, and by restoring the deficient
chemical 'elements of the blood, increases the principle
which constitutes nervous or vital force. invigorates the
nutritive functions, and thin; not only antra; but oleo PRE
TINTS, the development of this hitherto most fate' Engorge
of the human race.
Air 0 ACTION TO TIER PUBLIC. -4
Various preparations - are already in the market, purport
log to be based on Dr. Churchill's discovery against - which
we solemnly caution both the profession and the public.
• .To'remove all doubts in regard to. the chemical purity of
my preparation of Ilypophoaphites, r beg the attention of
the public and the profession to the following
TsniimoNY OF Int CnILIVN:
. .
1, Ilia's carefully analyzed samples of the Hypophosphites
of Lime, Soda, and 'Potash from which Mr. it; Winchester
manutectures Dr. Churchill's Compound Solution or the
Bypophosphites, - 'and Rad them to he' properly made and
chemically pure. :Having had manyoppertunities of, teat
ing the uniform purity of the articles which he Taws in
compounding this - new rernrdrfor consumption, sod having
a personal.. knowledge of his honesty_ and integrity, I feel
that I can assore the 'Profession - and thti - Public - that this
Preparation of the Bypepbosphltes can be relied on.
"jams R. CnILTON, M.D., Chemist...
"New Yorki February 8, 1859"
And now, to further caution the public against impure
and unreliable preparatiOns claiming to be founded on Dr.
Charchill'i discovery, I quotenn extract from a letter pub-
Ushed by hint, dated the 24th of April, 1858: -
Causcerrit.
Tnsterry OF Da.
'To be used with effect, the Ilypophesphitea must beper.
featly pure; otherwise they may, in same eases, appear alto
gather inert, or even injurieue. In five cases out of six, the
Salts ,Usually sold as pure in Paris, under the name of
Hypophosphitsv, are totally unfit for Medical use. * *
"I use no other treatment of any kind, unless required
by the existence of complications, such as intercurrent in
flammation of the lungs, diarrhea, cardiac discave, Ac!'
The use of the Hypoplicsipites shows these preparations to
have a two-fold and specific action. •On the one hand, they
increase the principle, whatever that may be, which coned
totes nervous force; and, on the other, they are the most
powerful blood generating agents, far superior to any hith
erto known
Tbe physiological effecti - of their use are Shown by an in
crown of nervous power, sometimes even from the first day
of their administration, together with au unusual feeling
of comfort and strength 'The appetite increases; often in
an extraordinary manner. The evacuations become more
regular and more abundant, the per spirations, if any ha , e
ektated, cease, sleep becomes calm and profound,'.' ? All the
general syMptoms.disappear with a rapidity. which Is really
marvelous
