Christian Discipleship;
I am the vine, ye are the branches.—Jorm xv: 5.
We have here the fundamental idea of all
Christian discipleship—identity of life be
tween him that believes and him that is
believed on—" I am the vine, ye are the
branches." A disciple of Plato is one who
adopts the doctrines of Plato, and lives
them. A disciple of Mohammed is one
who believes the teachings of Mohammed,
incorporates them in his life, and 'lives
them out. A disciple of any great medical
teacher is one who adopts his views, lives
as he directs, eats, walks, and sleeps ac
cording to his rules. Christianity is almost
the only thing in which it is thought a man
may profess one thing s and be another
say he will do this, and go and do just, the
opposite. A disciple of Mohammed who
did not adopt his principles and act on
them, would be considered a very strange
man ; everybody would say, "Why profess.
to be a Mohammedan, when you are not ?"
And the inquiry would be most reasonable.
But Jonathan Edwards said to the people
of Northampton, "Why profess to be.
Christians, when you are not 7" and they
resisted it as an impertinence, and drove
him from their town. So, I say, Chris
tianity, seems to be the only thing in which
it is thought a man may profess one thing,
and be and do just the opposite of what he
professes. Identity of life between Christ
and the Christian is the fundamental idea
of all Christian discipleship. ..".I am
the vine, ye are the branches." This
is very suggestive. I suppose Christ
meant just what he said, when he said
to his disciples, "I am the vine,
_ye
are the branches." He meant to teach
this identity of life between himself and
them. The life of the branch and the
vine is the same, the branch is part of
the vine. You never saw a branch with a
life independent of, or different from the
life of the vine. And you never saw a
Christian with a life independent of, or
essentially different from the life of Christ.
Believers were first called Christians by
the world because the world saw they were,
in the main, like the Christ who lived and
died in those days. A disciple is a learner.
The word means that. • A disciple of Christ
is one who learns of Christ. He looks to
him, not mystically, but actually, and looks
to understand, and understands to imitate.
A disciple of Christ is one who imitates
Christ; not as a mimic imitates, by doing
mechanically what he does, but really—
copies from his inmost, hidden life, and
asks so to be imbued with that life inward
ly, that outwardly he may be Christ-like,
just as naturally as the branch, pervaded by
the life of the vine,
blossoms as the vine
blossoms, and bears fruit as the vine bears
fruit.
Identity of, life between him that believes
and him that is believed on. I speak of
idenity, not quantity, I do not say that
every Christian must possess the whole of
the life of Christ, but what of life he does
possess, must be identical with that life.
Each branch does not possess all the life of
the vine. The vine's life may be diffused
through a thousand branches, yet if there
be but one drop of sap in the branch, that
is identical with the great life-current
which flows through the vine. So with the
Christian. What of life he does possess,
be it ever so little, must be identical with
the life that is in Christ. I speak of
quality, not quanta& ; Christ's 'Vein you,
not all of Christ's life in you; a branch,
not necessarily a branch covered all over,
and always, with bright blossoms, or ripe
fruits. Real life, not perfect life; manly,
honest struggle and
,protest against all sin,
not " sinless perfection."
Are we like Christ? should be the clues
tion of' all earnest Christians. Are we so
much like him that men would, point to us
at once and say, " There is a Christian—a
Christ-man ?" Are we as much like Christ
as A.hranch is like the vine on which it,
grows ? Could men, ignorant of what'
. Christ is, tell what he is by looking at us;
just as men could easily tell what a vine is
like, only , by looking at one of its branches?
. We need these days—we Christians of.
these days—to burnish up that old rusted
idea, "the imitation of Christ,"+and wear
it as a jewel on our hearts. We need some
Thomas h, Kempis to write another "Imi
tation of Christ," from the, text: " He that
saith he abideth in Him, ought himself also
so to walk even as He walked." IL

MA'SSUS. EDITORS :—lt is sometimes
thought proper to kick the ball when it ii
rolling, to keep it in motion. There is
much written in these times concerning
Church Music, ome writers have lately
published much which meets my amain
tion, and I need not repeat. bi
C. 1?. Worrel has taken a wide range—
proposing so much that even if the Assem- •
bly and the Board of Publication enter up
on the work, it will require years to accom
plish what he proposes.
Another writer proposes that we have
our Psalms and Hymns` set to tunes, so that
the eye may embrace'botla at once, and thus
have all our people singing correctly.
I have often noticed that some are so well
educated, that they cannot conceive how far
many are below them in acquirements. I
have been teaching Music, 'and' leading in
churches about forty years, and tknow that
Music Notes are a dead letter to very many
who are well informed in many other
branches of learning.
Now, I suggest a shorter , course to accent

tional singing, to have an increase' of shit,-

inn sooner than by some or any of the
courses proposed, and to help forward the
work proposed by some previous writers.
I have two reasons for not delaying this
communication; one, that it may appear
before the meeting of the Assembly; and
the other, that the Sunday-Schools now, in
the beginning of their Summer terms, may
do good by following my suggestion.
1 have taught Music Classes containing
nearly all ages,. and have discovered that
young children learn fastest. I have tried
the experiment in common district schools, ,
devoting only ten minutes each day; and
in Sabbath-Schools ten to thirty= minutes,
each Sabbath, before regular Sabbath-
School hours. It is surprising how much
children will learn in these small portions
of time..
My course has been to use the black
board, or cards printed, or written with a
pen or brush. The Sunday-School Union,
about A. D. 1828, published a set of Music
Cards, whiCh I bought and used, adding
many by my own hand. Many Sabbath-
Schools meet in houses containing good
black-boards, on which with little trouble,
tunes could be written, and the children
taught.
In many neighborhoods one or more,
(male or female '
) may be found capable of
writing and teaching the plainer rudiments
of Music and tunes of the easier kind;
and in this way our worshipping assemblies
may 'be filled with sacred song, in a time
much shorter than people generally suppose.
I speak from facts that have passed under,
my own eye, and propose a measure which
I know is feasible. Let Sabbath-Schools—
yes, and district schools—try it, even six
or twelve months, and they will prove to
themselves the truth of what I write. I do'
not propose to stop with this—it is a mere
beginning,' and a help to accomplish higher
attainments, such as others propose.
.. church' may be filled with music in
this way, while some other methods would
be only be. 2 otnning, or getting ready to be
gin. Yours, respectfully,
JOSEPH WORAEL.

Jacobus' Notes on the Acts.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—Although I have
had Professor Jacobus' "'Explanatory
Notes on the Acts of the Apostles," a good,
in my possession, I had not leisure
to examine the book until lately. Dr. A.
Alexander used to say that it was part of a
pastor's duty to recommend good books to
the people; and I ask permission to recom
mend this as a good book, an invaluable
aid not only to the Sabbath School Teacher,
but to the more erudite and mature student
of the Scriptures. The Sunday School
leachers of Amy charge are already, upon
my suggestion, in .possession of the work,
and that part of the Scripture is now being
studied in our Schools; and I would like
to meet the book in every family. Having
already expounded that portion of the
Word, in extenso, three several times—l am
somewhat:prepared for judging of a corn
mentary upon it, and I can most cordially
commend Dr. J.'s notes. His "Introduc
tion " and " Synopsis " are learned, lucid,
compact, and enable the student to get a
clear and satisfactory outline view and com 7
prehension of the design, plan, and order
of the book ; whilst his explanations are
lucid, suggestive, rich, scholarly, brief and
comprehensive. Without committing
my
self to •the absolute correctness of the inter
pretation in every instance, I must =say
that the Dr. has given to the Church avery
valuable helper in studying this part of the
Word of God—the MISSIONARY book of
the New Testament. D. X. J.

THE SAILOR'S RETURN"TO HIS NATIVE
LAND
It was a lovely day in the early part of
Summer, that an old man was observed
passing along the road that led to the vil
lage of D A single p.,:anee at the
old man's mien, satisfied the observer that
he had led a stormy and unsettled life. A
long snow-white beard covered his breast;
while the deep furrows on his massive brow,
and the settled gloom that wrapt his fea
tures, showed that his had been no small
part of this world's trouble.
Pressing on with as much speed as his
worn-out frame would permit, he came to
where a rugged mountain rose up abruptly
before him; passing around its base, he en
tered upon a retired upland valley situated
between two ridges of mountains. The
valley consisted of smooth meadow land,
Which at this season of the year, was cov
ered with wild-flowers of-every description,
filling the atmosphere with their fra
grance. •
A clear little brook ran winding along
through the middle of the valley. The
hills on either side, were for the most part
covered with forests; but here , and there,
a pe 4k rose up higher than its companions,
and stood out in bold relief against the sky
without a tree to disturb its symmetry.
The road, over which the traveller passed,
wound along at the foot of the hills.
Near the middle of the valley, the hills
fora small distance, receded from their di
rection, forming a semi-circle with the road ;
in the, middle of this space stood a little
cottage. 0, how that old veteran's heart
beat as he saw it in the distance I how the
expression, - of his care-worn-features worked
between hope and fear ! but as he approach
ed nearer, and beheld the dilapidated state
of the cottage, the fallen-in roof, the ivy
clambering up over the door and window,
looking as if it had not been inhabited for
years, he was seized with the most hopeless
despair.
It was just forty years ago from that very
morning, that he had east a farewell linger
ing look upon that little cottage, that con
tained all that was dear to him on earth;
he was then running aivay from his mother
and dear little Ellen, to be what he had so
long wished to be—a sailor—a mere child,
only fifteen Summer's old. The sun .was
shining just as brightly now as it did that
very morning, forty years 'ago ; the birds
were singing just as sweetly; and nature
looked just as gay ; and there on the old lo
cust before the cottag?, door, a robin was
caroling away, just as the old robin that
used tb build her nest in the forks of that
old locust, did that very morning, when he,
ran away from home. For a moment he half
thought it was the same old robin. As he
looked upon the decayed dwelling, the most
inexpressible anguish settled over his fea
tures; he turned away, not knowing whither
he went, until after a fewmoments, he found
himself standing under a large elm on the
banks of the little brook, where he and El
len used to recline,in days long since gone.
As the recollections of the former innocent
sports in which he and Ellen engaged, came
up before his mind, the involuntary excla
mation broke from his lips, " 0 where is
Ellie, now."
Simultaneous with the exclamation those
eyes that had been dry for forty'years, were
turned into fountains of tears. Unable to
endure the recollections that came up, he
turned away, when the tomb-stones in the
distant church-yard .arrested his eye. In
the most intense agony, he hastened to the
church-yard. How changed from what he
knew it, when le•and little Ellen used to

repose upon the soft grass on the little
green mounds. At every step, strange
tomb-stones greeted'him ; yet he could'find
no trace of those after whom he sought.
He was just going to give up the fruit
less search in despair; when he espied - twe
tomb-stones standing side by side in a re
tired corner of the church-yard; he hast
ened thither and there, at length, the mys
tery was solved: As he gazed on Ellie's
tomb,- and saw there carved the words,
" Suffer little children to come unto me,"
all his early teachings and admonitions
came back to - his memory. All that angel
mother's prayers and counsels, -that had
long been forgotten in a life spent in sin?*
suddenly rose up before him. -
When he thought of his mother and El
len's tears, when he wickedly left them,
hardened as he was, he sobbed as if his
heart would break. He knelt d'oWn upon
the graves of the only two beings whose
heart's had ever beat for him. He arose,
and stood for a little while gazing npon'the
tombs in silence,' gave utterance to 'the
words, "Rave killed my poor mother; I have
spent my youthin sin and debauchery. No
one cares for me. lam a wanderer and an
outcast upon the earth. I will go and
throw away the rest of my life where I
squandered my youth." e

penitence. Let youth beware how they

mlictiTz RESPECTING REV. WILLIAM
Since our last regular meeting, one of our plum
ber has been called to his reward. On the first
day of February, bur 'deal. biother, P.m William
Hutchinson passed from this scene of his trial !
and his suffering, to one where the tcary are at
rest. r
He came among us when it was yet the 'day of
small things with our beloired Church in this vi
cinity—came to make sacrifices for Christ. ' Af
ter ten 'years of arduous labor in our midst, in
times of self-sacrifices and toil, his tongue was
silenced for the time by hemorrhage of the
lungs. ' He then removed to Salon, Tennessee, in,
the hope that the salubrious atmoaphere of 4
Southern and mountainous region might. be in
strumental in restoring his health.
But placed amid destitution of the word of life,
his Christian heart, full of yearning love to souls,
would not allow him to be long idle. He was
soon laboriously engaged in originating rind con
ducting Sabbath-Schools, and in preaching. Thus
he labored till stricken down by paralysis, under
which suffering the partial deprivation-of all the
bodily senses, and much discomfort and pain, his
time passed wearily on till he departed for that
rest. that remaineth, foi the people of God.
Eight Months before his death, he returned to
Eticyrus, 0., to a people wham he loved, and for
whose good he had labored. His'last days were
not dark ones—they were made light by the evi
dence of his Father's love. With the emphasis
of strong faith, he remarked bow little earthly
trials would seem, when he should get away, in
the better world. His view of passages in' the
Word of God,. he frequently remarked, were
higher and more precious than ever before. His
state was that of hoping, believing, waiting till his
change should come. Therefore,
Resolved, That it becomes us to box in humble
submission to the mysterious providence of God,
whose ways are not our ways, nor his thoughts
our thoughts.
Resolved, That it is our duty to learn that' our
time is short, and our opportunities of doing good;
precious.
Resolved, That we heartily sympathise with
the widow of our' deceased brother in her deep
afilietion. • -

Roman Catholics.
There are 'more than one .hundred and

them are honest -in -their errors, only the
Omniscient can tell. But -we are permit
ted 'to know that Inanyare. Their zeal.may
not, be.according to -knowledge,,but it is a
"zeal of God." Noble; spirits have lived
and died within that, communion; men in
radical antagonism to its fundamental prin
ciples, but never, seeing that, what they
attacked was what gave it its charm to its
leading spirits. Blaise Pascal was,a Prot
estant in intellect, in heart, in his power
ful writings. But he lived and died a sin
cere member of the Latin Communion.
Martin Luther had beerris sincere in ad
hering to that Church as he was in forsak
ing it. And when we feel constrained to
ex.pose the enormous evils of that organi
zation, -we no more imagine three fourths
of that peciple to intend 'all those evils than
we ourselves do.
For the millions of the Roman Church
who have no desire to do wrong in sustain
ing that Church, however mistaken they
may be, however much mischief they may
unwillingly do, we should feel the tender
est sympathy. We should labor for their
conversion with the same spirit which' ani
mated Paulin his labors to bring the Jews
about him to a knowledge of the truth as
it is in' Jesus. "'Brethren, my heart's de
sire and prayer to God for Israel is, that
they might be saved."
Nor will these labors he in vain. There
are throughout the Protestant world, some
eight or ten organizations having special
reference to the evangelization of Roman'
Catholics, and a .glance at the field will
show that the blessing of God is resting,
upon their efforts.

At the beginning of his supplications,
probably early in the nlor c uire of this
memorable` day' of :faStifig and , 'prayer' the
commandment w6nt , forth to Gabriel from
theAhrone,of the-Ilternal, to,fly swiftly to
this earth on, this errand of revelation:
Swiftly he flew, no doubt, in obedience to
this high behest--z..so swiftly, that he %
rived upon our:planet' that, same dayy
cupying probably not more thaw six hours,
or, at, the ,veryanost, ten hours in ,his
pasFage. ,‘
But here the que,stion occurs, how far
had he to travel, and from 'what , place 'did
he conic ? ' We cannot' answer the , first
question ; but, in regard to the second, we
may be•.assureit that it was from some 'dis
tant world in space. Was it from one of
'the sister planets of our own solar system,
tem, or ' was it from some other star or
rather some other =system connected :with
our own Milky .Way? There is still
one other alternative; may it
,nothave been
from beyond the confines of even this great
galaxy----from some distant nebulae' that
trembles in'the field of our MOst powerful
telescopes ?,
If so, it would not be difficult to imagine
the scenes through which he passed 'in his.
stupendous flight. After springing:upwards
from the orb on which he lived, and bend
it* his eye Onlhe far AiStaittrp6int toivai'd
which his flight mast be directed, he would
press onwards with increasing .swiftness,
rivalling at, length the velocity of light..
In the first hour, he, would' hate left behind
hiM firmament'the' f his 'native 'World," and
'entered 'the great Wilderness Of the uni
verse, where no Single stall was visible, and
where the blackvault above, 'benea•th,, , ,and
around, was sprinkled only with its distant
nebillm. Here he is alone with God; and,
probably, in 'the soledm silence 'of his soli
tary-flight, is, receiving upon his inmost
spirit the prophetic message that he :was to
_bear, to earth.. , '
For hours together the same dread gran
deur of nebulous scenery would continue;
and Yet the inconceivable swiftne.ss Of his
progress would produce, as it were, a moving
panorama around him, the nebalm in, front
opening and enlarging themselve,s •before
him, ,passing on each side at greater and
less distances, a.ecording'to the line of his
flight; and finally closing tip and disappear
ing in the distant Waite. Such would be
the characteristic: ; scenery: of,
histhe 'greater,
part of voyage., T.4ke the 'vessel that
leaves its port, and, after passing- through
the forest of shipping, and Witnessing ler
a few hours the surrounding scenery of its
enclosing bay; enters at, length the wide
ocean, and continues ; sailing there, perhaps
for weeks, before it sees the corresponding
scenery of the port to Which it is bound;
So would Gabriel's'flight ''be one ot 'weary
sameness during the greater part of its con-
tinuance. '
Sometimes, no doubt, the stranin outlines
of the distant clusters would present inter
esting objects of stn.' y e angelic
astronomer. Ring-shaped nebulm, con
trasting• with, spherical or lenticular Con
formations (these would apprbach: and
enlarge, and, after decreasing again, ,would
ultimatelY disappear. Grotesque arrange
merits of congregated stars; Some like spiral,
comets, others like fringed ero*ns; sonic
like tangled , clouds,, others like rocket,
showers, would appear to , sail, along the
heaveni as his 'flight bore on. Some-,
times'his' 'way - would lie so near their
confines, thatioecaiionallY the form of some
distant nebula, would growin brightness as.
it, neared, him, and; when it sailed closely
by, perhaps only.a few quadrillions of miles
distant, it Would expand and resolve itself
little myriads of stars, till, being'past,
it Would , again' gather up its glories into
some-new;and strange outline, and at length
fade. away in the ethereal distance.
Toward the, c ose of is voyage, - his
coeliac direeted`to one particular nebula,
from whichlie'airerves not, - either to the
right 'haft& or - the left. It; is - evidently the'
sought-for object of his flight. [t=ie our
Milky Way, although, as yet, it is no more
than a small speck in the distant, night:
'By and by it grows brightness, and be
comes more distinct in outline, like a small
/flat cloud, split - along "AS flanks. Onwards
and onwards , he- flies toward this bourne,
and, as, he approaches, its outline gradually
diaaPpears, and the stars of which its dim
light 'Was "ccenposed disengage themselves,
• and -open up on his 'field , of , view. Now he
must gradually 'slacken his .flight, because
he is approaching the termination of his
voyage. Like the ship entering the port of
its destination, and passing `through another
forest' of shipping, so' would , Gabriel 'find
the.atars , Of :the Milky Nay open out upon
his .view; and, gradually. radiating from
the central point, toward which his ,flight
is'directed, they:would at length brighten_
into a starry flrmainent''aronnd, so Ra j
meet* our admiring gaze on, a cloudless and
moonless night. ,1 , • ~
=Having entered the firmament , of ; the
Milky. Way,,his eye is, now, directed toward
a feeble, undistinguiShed Star, upon Which
all his interest is concentrated. Swift as

Whoever believes the Bible or rejects it,
his formed an opinion as to what it teach
es. No one can assent to the instructions
of Revelation till he has-satisfied himself
aa to what they are. And no one can con
sistenlyreject these instructions till he :has
fOrmed an ,opinion concerning them. In
its drapery of symbols, or in the more di
dactic forms of revelation, the Bible un
folds great'princilifes and doctrines. These
become a reality to men only when they
are understood and believed, or become a
savor of death unto death, only when un
derstood and 'rejected.
It is idle for us to say the Bible is our
creed. - This is ;to. confound things. How
few there are who do not profess to accept
the teachings of the Bible in some form,
and yet how widely do men differ as to
what those teachings 'are. To be definite
and fair we must go farther and state what
we regard the Bible as teaching and as de
nying. As this, book is addressed to our
faith and spiritual conceptions, various, and
conflicting interpretations of it are possi
ble, and hence the importance Of creeds and
cornpends •of truth, 'or clearly expressed
views-and statements of doctrine. Till this
is done, the_ boundary line between truth
and error cannot be ascertained; the differ
ence between the Calvinist and the Trans
cendentalist the man of evangelical and of
• •
latitudinarian views cannot be known or
Made to appear. Till, we come down to
particulars •or definite „statements, wor as
sertion that we believe ltTeltible or that
the Scriptures are our creed, amounts to
just nothing. If a man says' ,he believes
the Bible,
but declines to state what doe
trind he believes the Bible to teach, he is
confused in his own mind, or wants the grace
of Christian frankness.
,
It is said that creeds are not inspired, and
that other ages may change them. This
does not militate against their value. But
their use does not lie on this ground. They
are, useful as tests of religious, thought, or
the landmarks of Christian faith. Creeds
`are not meant to be, snares in which to
catch heretics, -hotlines rather to bound or
exchide heresy. ,`'They are tests 'of Christian
fellowship rather than stakes of Christian
martyrdom. But when we hear persons
speak• reproachfully of them, we cannot re
frain from the conclusion either that they
do not precisely understand themselves, or
that they wish for a latitude of belief a lit
tle broader than the Bible, or for a somewhat
larger faith than its immutable doctrines.
Denominations that have made a prdper
use, of creeds have been the most stable. and
progressive in their . Christian eliaraeter and
history. They have carried their research
es farthest into biblical interpretation and
science. On the other hand, those sects
that have discarded the use of creeds, and
have:,pr'ofessed, to go to the,Bible as their
standard of faith, have been the first to
'abandon its teachings, and drift into, trans
cendentalism. The history of theological
, discassion• for thee-last half century in this
country and in Europe, demonstrates this
fact.
If established and clearly stated princi
ples Are essential to the plogresS of natural
science and of mental and Moral philosophy
—if something like aplatform of Views and
.principles are indispensable to the success
of 'a political 'party, or an assAiation for
:morale and reformatoty purposes, we 'ask if a
= clear =and positive statement of _>y ristian
doctrine does not hold somethi4 like the
=same relation to the Prosperityand progress
of the •Christian Church on earth:
We feel disposed to make these inquiries
noW; , -from our' knowledge of the restive
-of''certain 'men who' are eteeedingly
- pepulavand. influential in our :order with
respect to creeds and platforms in the
Church. We would not be uncharitable or

under 'the name of heresy hunters. We
