*- I _Why am I tut Episcopalian'?"
Was a question proposed to the Bible Clam
a Boarding School of a certain eity.
How were Presbyterian children to meet
? Why; were they in that
schoql 1% When will parents learn not to,place
their Children under such influencers? There
were girls of different character and tem.
perament; many of them trained as Pres.
hiteikentr, lairteitiY. • Yet very few of ISte•
cient firmness to repel insidious argument,
and maintain their position. Yet here they
were obliged to prepare , an answer, and
listen to the reasoning of prejudiced minds,
watnxesl, too, in behalf of The Ckarch,
which is only true in their estimate. Pres.
byterians are , rather careless in training their
children -with that devoted fondness for
th e i r ewee"Chriroh, we see in other depend.
nations ; they 'don't prepare them to meet
these emergencies, and yet put them in the
fire to be tried; arinserinently, many young
minds easily influenced by external pomps,
and ceremonies, are led off to a Church not
so strict as their fathers; and become soon
bitter opponents of Presbyterianism.
Not so to one brave spirit to whom this
question was committed; yet fatal to an.
other of less firmness, who, before long, was
confirmed in a High Church congregation.
What can parents expect if they place their
children in Episcopal or Papist schools, to
be trained ? Sad mistake, to which frequent
attention should be called.
The youthful mind; already tinctured by
romanoe•reading, which describes the din t
religious light of old country churches, is
ready to be captivated by the imitations of
it in our free country—by the "incompara
ble " Liturgy, the solemn robes, and,, venal
paraphernalia of this sect, and the similar
one of. Romish name.
An observing mother, who lives a retired
life, lifts this warning. voice to those who
have not reflected, perhaps not noticed in
dick passage through life, how many young
members of our Church—not tin mention
Ariany. t femilies—are led away by these
fascinations. In the place where I once

A good Lesson . for n Young Pastor
In taking My accustomed stroll. this even
ing, I called at the residence of one of the
oldest members. of my little flock, who has
tfor many .years' been a ruling -elder in the
- Church. The lesson that I learned by this
short - visit, .was one that - caused my heart to
throb with " gushing sympathies! Yet it
~was One .that I , hope may never be forgotten.
.This good old " Father in Israel " has long
since lived his 44 three score years and ten, "
sod-billow 4 i.by reason of strength," living
his fifth score. Ile is but little more than a
Jiving skeleton, is, of course, very feeble,
shiest deaf, and suffering intensely from
other . bodily diseases. Thus he has been
afflicted for many years, and yet his testi
mony is, that the Lord is very merciful and
kind to his unworthy servant. He desires
to go and bec , with his Saviour; yet he is
willing.to.stay sad sdffer all' that the Lord
may ,require, -without a complaint ; only be.
catnielt,is his Masters will. His prayer is,
that': o the midst of all his sufferings, a
-murmur way not escape his lips. We have
sill been such gnat sinners, that we should
suffer' -without a - groan, all that the Lord , may
inflict upon US.
This is an old man's testimony, as he tot
ters itpon the brink of the grave. Now, if
this good old :elder, 'in the midst of all his
sufferings, can:"-praise the Lord for his good
ness," how thankfuhshould they be who are
in the enjoyment...of health, with its mani
folds ebmferts I -Yet how prone we all are to
