The Blind
Beside the cottage door there rests,
A lovely girl so fair,
And evening's soft and balmy breeze,
Toys with her golden hair.
A holy light rests Olk her face,
Her voice is s►veet:and kind,
But ah I her eyes, her sightless eyes—
Ales 1 the girt is blind.
She Often talks of, coming joys,
And oft,of 'heaven she sings;
Until she.thinks she hears the. sound
Of angel's golden wings.
"They'll come for me some day," she says,
"Those angels pure and bright,
To take me with them to the pled° ,
'Where I'll receive my sight.
"But oh, I wish that. I had lived, .
When Christ was on the earth,
When ho gave sight to many blind,
Blind even from their birth;
If I could hear the joyful about,
Christ Jesus comes this way,
How soon I'd fall before-his feet,
And for my sight I 'd pray.'
H Because my mother says she's old,
And that her hair is gray,
That soon to her will come the end
Of all life's toilsothe way—,
This makes me long that I could see,
If only for a day,
• How I would gaze upon her face,
As long as sight would . stay,
"At evening when she shelters me,
Within her fond embrace,
In happy dreams I always see
My mother's loving faCe.
These many years I've heard her voice,
So cheering at my side;
And when I've wept that I was blind,
She's sat with me and cried.
"But, happy thought! . we're going soon,
Where Christ restores the blind,
And holy ones our_feet will guide,
Until his throne we find;
What joy,and bliss will then be mine,
When I begin to see,
And mother will be with me there,
To share the joy with me."
Tranelnted from the Greek for the Watchman and Reflector•
The Greek and Papal Churches---The Differ
ences Between • Them.
The following article, translated from a
late number of the Star of the East, a
Greek newspaper published in Athens,
though not.precisely accurate in every par
ticular, presents an outline of the chief
difference between the Roman and the
Greek Churches. The reader will keep in
mind that it is from. a Greek source, and
is hence likely to be somewhat partial.
still, the statement is instructive.
1. Cozicerning the Sapremacy of the
Pope.
The Papal. Church holds that the pope
is the only head of the Church, the suc
cessor of the Apostle Peter, and the Vicar
of Christ on . earth, having the key of
heaven and hell, so that whatsoever he
looses or binds on earth shall be loosed or
bound in heaven; thus he is regarded as
infallible, and his decision upon disputed
points has more — authortty than the testi-.
mony of the Holy Scriptures themselves.
The Greek Church, on the contrary,
maintains that Christ did not leave, any
special vicar on eaith, but that all bishops
are representatives, and that the Pope is
only a simple bishop.
IL Concerning the _Procession of the
Holy Spirit.
The Papal Church holds that the Holy
Spirit proceeds hot only,from the Fattier,
but also from- the Son. The Greek
Church, on the other hand, maintains that
the Holy Spirit proceeds only from the
Father.
Concerning the Unleavened Bread,
and the Giving of the Bread only to the
Laity.
In. the celebration of the Communion,
the Papal Church uses unleavened bread,
and permits the laity to partake only of this;
the Greek Church uses leavened bread, and
gives to the communicants both the bread
and the wine, in remembrance of the death
of Christ.
Iv. Concerning the Rest of the Saints,
and Purgatorial Fire.
The Papal Church holds, that in , the fu
ture world there are three conditions 1.
That of eternal happiness for the righteous;
2. That of eternal punishment for the
wicked and the impenitent; 3. An inter
mediate state for the souls of those who
have repented; but not in time to show
their repentance in the present life by good
works. This last condition is called the
fire of Purgatory, br the fire 'Which, in a
limited time, purifies souls from the defile
ment of sin, and thus prepares them to
cuter into heaven. In other words, this
condition is one of temporary punishment,
inflicted by the Lord upon the soulg of
those who have repented before death, but
have not time to perform good works,,
and limited to a certain duration, at the
end of which ho permits them to enter into
everlasting-mansions. The Greek Church,
on the other hand, holds that there are only
two conditions, that of those who are saved,
and that of those who will be punished.
And in regard to those who have repented,
but have had opportunity to perform good
works,.-on account of the intervention of
death, the Greek Church declares that they
are ivholly forgiven at the very moment of
confession, and that there remains nothing
lbr them to expiate after death. The Pa
pist, however, in defence of their own
Church, say that the Greeks reject the
name, and stillre.tain the thing. , For they
make offerings to the priestson order that
they may pray for the dead, and perform
masses, and make supplications `to :God, and
give .alms on behalf of the souls-, of the
departed, which signifies that they, believe
their souls are in torments, and that they
can by these means better their condition;
that is deliver them from punishment, and
introduce them into heaven; which is the
same with the Purgatorial fire of the Pa
pal Church.
Besides these principal differences, w,hich
were the cause of the sepiration of the two
Churches, there are also the following see
ondar,youes
V. Concerning Oe' Celibacy of the Cler-
The Papal Church imposes the condition
of celibacy on all its. priests; the' Greek'
Church leaves them .free to choose a mar
ried or an unmarried, life. Indeed, at the
present time,
so far as •wo are infbrmed, in
free Greece, license is given to no one to be
ordained a priest, unless he is married:
VI Concerning the use' of Graven Int
ayes, in. Churches and in Private Houses.
The Papal Church, as it is' well known,
uses in churches and in private "houses,
graven and molten images of Christ,. of the
Virgin, and. of the Saints and Angels; the
Greek Church' uses.only pieturei:
- -
T II Concerning the Holy Scriptures.
The Papal Church not .only hinder, the

distribution of the Holy Scriptures among
the people, but also punishes those who.
read them, in the States of the Church, in
Naples, and in Austria, with imprisonment,
and other civil penalties; and in other
kingdoms, where it cannot use the tempor
al sword, it uses spiritual weapons for the
same end. The Greek Church, however,
both exhorts the people to read the Holy
Scriptures, and herself distributes them
among her spiiitual children. It is true
that there were some even in the Greek
Church, who have declined from the right
way, and who Romanize" in respect to
this subject; but the usages of the Greek
Church is in favor of the Holy Scriptures.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—Among the many
reasons that should prompt your ministe
rial brethren to constant efforts for the cir
culation of the Banner in their congrega
tions, there is one that few pastors are in
circumstances to despise. I refer to the
bearing of your excellent periodical on the
support of the Gospel ministry in ,our own
land. The missionary to a foreign land, or
even to the missionary stations of our own
country, calls forth the general and sub
stantial sympathies of the Church in his
behalf. But how many of our pastors, in
comparatively feeble churches—churches
that, however they might , need assistance,
iesolve to be self-sustaining, and scorn the
idea of remaining forever on the missionary
list—how many such pastors are expending
their private means, or contracting debts,
to preach the Gospel. Let the people hay.e
light on this point. The Banner has in
deed done important service in the cause.
The noble deeds of congregations for their
pastors, are spread before the Church and
the world; to stand forth as an example
for imitation, leadine others to go and do
likewise.
In addition to salaries promised and
promptly paid, donation visits are evidently
on the incirse. Many of them are never
published. The pastor, through modesty,
shrinks from such a course as
.apparently
ostentatious, or tending to draw attention
to himself. Nor could the Banner contain
the things that might be , written on this
Subject. It is enough, perhaps, in brief
editorials, to keep it before the people.
When such demonstrations for the support
of the Gospel become universal in our
churches, the prospects of the millenium
will doubtless be relieved from some of the,
clouds, that often create feelings of despon
dency with regard to its approach. • In that
good time , to come, in this selfish world, it
may be that even editors will be remember
ed in donation visits. Then among the
other beatitudes, this will be realized:—
"Blessed are the meek, (or the:humble ad
vocates of righteousness) for they shall in:
befit the earth. DELTA.
S. ' .
New-England Correspondence
If any one has ddubts as to .the perils in
the New-England churches, those doubts are
likely to be dissipated. Since •the Hart
ford case, another more astounding has
transpired. Your readers will recollect
that in that case a man denying the ortho
dox doctrines of inspiration, original sin,
inability, atonement, &c., and inclining to
the belief that sinners might be= saved , a4
ter deathi.was orslained-t 7 -one - ott - the_zooet,
respectable Councils in New-England.
You will also recollect that owing to the
controversy in that case, another man hold
ing similar views was soon after rejected by
a Council—a thing that- has not occurred,
we believe, for years before. But now we
have an illustration of the force of Con
grecr°ationalism.' As soon as the candidate
had been rejected by one Council, another
was called, upon which were obtained Drs.
Hawes and Samuel Spring, (who had been
upon the Hartford Council, and had de
fended its action,) and Mr. Parker (the
man ordained by the Hartford Council,)
with others of like views, and the candi
date was i ordained and installed. The sig
nificant thing, about this ease was, not only
that the man held views similar to those
avowed by the Hartford candidate, but
that he was ordained directly over the
head of the Council that rejected him.
And what is the remedy in such a case'?
Congregationalism furnishes- none. The
candidate declared that he would run the
gauntlet of fifty Councils; but he would ob
tain his ordination; and it was publicly
announced that the church would have
him if no Council would ordain him. And
the man and the church are to-day in full
and regular standing in the Congregational
body. These are the inevitable liabilities
of Congregationalism. The system does
well enough as long as there is no error in
doctrine to be guarded against, and no dis
order in practice; but it utterly fails where
government and discipline are to be main;
tained. 'How much longer the better por
tion of the body will endure this state of
things, remains to be seen.
NEW-ENGLAND.
Sights and Incidents Concluded.
Our departure from Mingo was as early as
our arrival had been late. For this there
was no remedy; as time, tide, and trains wait
for no one. Morning's gray dawn found
us on our way to the Cadiz Junction.'
Forest and fields sparkled with dewy beau
ties. Sweetness filled the air; and our
momentary halt at the first. few -stations,
grooted-with the warble of a thousand
feathered songsters. Surely what May is
to the year, the morning is to the, day.
But the loveliness of the latter, multitudes
never see. Sleep (the rogue, the sluggard)
robs them. What is the grandeur of a
golden sunrise, or all the glories of early
morn to them, compared with the dreamy
luxury, and soul arousing sublimity of ly
ing in bed! As for us, we felt that the
sweet scenes of this morning were a rich'
compensation for our abridged slumbers at
Mingo. One incident creditahle to the
character of our conductor, we note with
much satisfaction. In receiving our fare,
he had, in change, passed some uneurrent
bills on us. When he discovered this af
terwards, he, unsolicited, returned,' apolo-.
gized, and rectified it; a matter he would, '
doubtless not have done, had he not been
strictly honest; for he must have known
that detection on our part was not only
very improbable, but next to impossible,
seeing we knew neither him nor his notes.
Well, bad as the world is, there• are still
some honest men in it. Some? Yes,
many; for, 'among the •multitude we daily
trust, rogues are the ,exception, not the
rule. And I am glad to say that of the
thousands upow thousands.of persons that
I have met in my .travels; not one, in a hun
dred of them did I evariMpoutef,dishon
esty. I never have lost a cent by stealth, ft:3r
have I ever received what I regarded as an
insult or an indignity from either man or
mortal, when among strangers. • .
But, let me see, if I remember correctly;
I was speaking, .of our trip to Cadiz -from
Mingo Junction, along the Steubenville
and Indiana Road. A, few hours, our.
destination' Wei reached. Harrison,` the

fertile, rolling, well 'Watered, richly timber
ed; abounds,in minerals and is highly im
proved. As a grain and grazing , region it
ranks high ; , but in, wool-growing it, is the
prince of the' West, having no rival, ex
cepting the `country, around Cumberland
and Washington, in Guernsey County,
which, of late years, has:yielded a fiber just
as fine, and a quantity, almost :as great as
ever was, shown by the Cadiz shepherds.
Our reception by Rev. W. M. Grimes
and his people, was truly cordial. A com
munion service was in progress in his
church. What assistance we could give,
we freely rendered fora few days. Presby
terianism here, is strong. It has grown to
a vigorous and fruitful tree, from a healthy
shoot, planted and long watered by the late
Rev. Mr. Kerr, whose family still lives
here, and whose labors were remarkably
blessed, till his Master called him home .to
his reward. He has a, worthy successor in
the present pastor, who is a very popular
and efficient minister of. Jesus
tiring in zeal to: promote the good of souls
and the glory of God in this, wealthy and
intelligent community. Reader,, what do
you think of a series of sixty sernions on
the prophecies ?" Such a task brother G.
has actually' undertaken Eight or ten of
these.have -been delivered. ---Tha_rest—Lsaw
*yranged in. their embryotic state; and no
doubt they will, in doe time appear to the
edification and delight of every attentive
hearer. The structure of brother G.'s
mind is peculiar. His - views are in the
main orthodox, bait original and speeulative.
He loves,to wash gold from sand unwashed
before—to pluck a flower from' a towering
summit, or to pick a gem from, the dust, that
no other eye has ever seen, or finger touch
ed, and to lay it all at his Saviour's feet.
He regards prophecies as a species of per
petual miracles, having its fulfillment in
the daily occurrences of life, and challeng
ing the prayerful consideration of every
Christian, and calculated to produce con
viction in the mind of the thoughtful and
reverential, of the Divine origin of Reve
lation. He, justly, does not regard the
prophecies of Isaiah,. and of Daniel, of
John, and of Jesus, as so many detached,
or insulated predictions; 'but as a grand
system of previous information, 'as to 'the
Secret purposes of providence, reaching,
like a golden chain, from the origin to the
end of all things, and marked ll,such dis
tinct notations of order, 'place, and time,
as may be palled the geography and chro
nology of propheey. And, therefore, to
understand these Divine predictioni r is to
know.what to expect to 'occur among men
and nations, or in the Church and in the
world, at or about a
are
juncture of
the future. Such are his views, and well
_does he sustain them. Still the task before
him is Herculean; and not void of danger.
May God,assisthim to accomplish it for
the good of souls, and. keep him from, wild
speculations and theories, and steer his
course clear of the anathema denounced
against him who adds to, or takes from the
Book of prophecy. , , -
After days of sweet, social, and much - de
votional intercourse with the people of this
place, we left in an old stage-cciaeh for An
trim. Not long after our arrival here, the
Presbytery of St. Clairsville , met in the '
Presbyterian church, to install• the Rev.
Mr. Knox as pastor. We met with them,
and heard and saw many things that' de
lighted us much. As to the church itself,
it was ..iximniz-ecitlx __about aightoGU'
months since. Now it numbers over sixty
members ; has erected a beautiful new
house; has it finished, furnished, and paid
for; called a pastor half of his time; and
bids fair soon to be one of the foremost
churches in the, Presbytery. What cannot
energy, means, liberality, and piety accom
plish when united ? All the sermons,
charges, and services of the occasion, were
truly interesting, and elicited 'not only the
attention, but the tears of the large audi
ence present.
The Commissioners to the General As
sembly reported. Their reports were very
lengthy, but deeply gratifying. Their ac
count of the great'Board debate was graph
ic; and their profiles of the pro. and con.
champions thereof, drawn to nature;
so
that all of us were•made to feel thankfu l to
God for bringing into the
,church such ex
cellent and gifted ',men as, Thorn Well and
Hodge, Boardman and Krebs, &c.
Father Chiniquy ( Shinekee) and his
cause was carried from the Assembly in the
arms of one of, the Commissioners, and
held up to the view of this Presbytery in
Antrim, in a way most glorious to behold.
We loved this Luther of 'the nineteenth
century before; we love him-,better , now.
Think of it. Ten thousand redeemed from
Peperyl Yes, . and one, hundred and forty
thousand more coming! Blessed Exodus !
This whole Chiniquy movement is marvel
lous. -We must visit this Colony and See
for ourielf.
But night comes, and on the inctrrow the
Tresbytery adjourned to meet, as soon as
possible, in Birmingham, a town eight miles
West of Antrim: So into their buggies
and carriages, and on to their horses, the
members, and many of the visitorr
and many or. 43.
Presbytery, got, and off they go, with a
rattle and a dust, to the place appointed.
We along. What a time ! Here is one
poor fellow with a broken buggy shaft: A
little beyond "another "has lbat, the tire off
his carriage wheel. Here is one with a
lame _horse, and there another with a broken
girth. But on we go ; no mishap's befalling
use and "got to our journey's end in good
time and spirits.
The object int coming, wa,s the installa
tion"of brother Knox, for:the other half of
his time, over this church, which, with
Antrim, makes an exceedingly pleasant and
hopeful pastoral - charge. The audience
.herg was larger' than, yesterday, and the
.serVices eqnally interesting, and
,appropri
ate. Want, of space forbids special notice.
One 3roung man, Mr. Wallace, of Allegheny.
Seminary, was licensed to preach the 'Gos
p'el; a licentiate examined and received
from another Presbytery, and a student of
:Princeton taken Ander the care of Presby
tery as, a candidate for holy orders.
ended this:delightful meeting.. The minis
-lers of this PresbYtery are all loving and
beloved brethren=a truly =efficient. body of
men; and long, will they, be so, under the
lead of such ministers as Dr. Mitehell,
Revs. Crawford, Boyd, Moffat, and DNA.
After many a kind greeting, we left them
and turned our, face hoineward, where,
when, we had arrived, we' saw the last and
' best of these long chapters of sights.
, In our absence, the Building Committee
of eur new church, had determined to kive
us a " surprise" on our return. =So to work
they Went,.and had the new Lecture-Room
nicely fttted,up and furnished, in which for
unto " preach the - first sermon: Unknown
to us we, had : , held our last service in the
old building, and we gladly left its dingy,
damp, and dangerous walls, without a tear
or a regret.
The entironew edifice will., be coMplete,
probably, in October next. Then we will
have a church indeed. The Lecture-Rom

Well, what is..to be done ? The King of
Hanover has been very - rude and insulting
to Prussia of late, and alt the, petty, Princes
of Austrian sympathies' have been like
minded, to say the le.wit. Nevertheless,
-the Prince Regent is-well advised. He
resolves not to meet Bonaparte alone, but
to invite other ,German Kings, and Princes
to stand by his side, and all together to
confer with this redoubtable and dangerous
parvenu Emperor ! '

Sc MCMAHON, RING OF IRELAND," is
the title of a ' new pamphlet, published at
Paris.lt, preaches rebellion against Eng
land. The Irish recruits for Rome are dis
gusting their new masters, and no more are
to be sent.
Cardinal Wiseman has quarrelled with
Antonelli and the Pope.
: THE REJECTION OF THE .REFORM BILL
by Parliament, which in •this case was
implied in its formal withdrawal, has had
an important result. It Proves, in con
nexion with the volunteer movement, that
England is absorbed = in. thoughts of self
defence:; that she looks with sleepless eye
across the Channel, and that she will per
mit
_no home distractiond to , turn her aside
from, preparation for the worst.
And what, would be Abet worst 2 r Why,
,the successful landing of several divisions
of a French army, and their march after a
battle, or by a ; ;detour,. and surprise; upon
London itself: This it ,is which .has agita
ted • the breasts of. many of‘late ; firth, in'
connexion, with the ,Report of a Perlin
.mentary COmmissioU ori National Defences,
in which the defence .of- London; bye for
is., simply referredao, but virtu
ally' ;ignored as ;: : a thing' impracticable.
And ;secondly, it has, been , brought vividly
_b efore •ns ; by the first article of the Corn
. Magazine, written, it is said, by' Cap-,
tain Fowke, entitled "London the Strong
hold of England." According tothis wri
ter, if the enemy once , landed, and that he
thinks practicable, all Your defences. of mar
tello towers, and coast fortifications, includ
ing, protecting batteries at Plymouth and
Portsmouth, and Woolwich, would- be vir
tually- usele,ss., True,. they would save
their heads if, attacked. But it would be
the policy 'of In, enemy not to attack them,
butb3r landing divisions on different. arts
of th,e unprotected coasts, to divide, and
paralyse our comparatively. small t'army,
and then, orie division to rush toward the
,capital,and.hold it till in humiliation and
,_dishonor; it l bou.ght, _off its captor by .a

"London in a state of siege, a provost
marshal_ installed at the Mansion House, a
park. of artillery on Tower, Hill, the-Royal
Exchange and Guild Hall converted into
militar3r posts, and a foreign,soldiery quar
tered on the inhabitants."

hostile army, by the same means" by which
-Wellington saved his handful of troops in
Spain, when Massena was tuivancing-with
his superior army, •as it seemed, to' annihi-
Jate •him.?.' These means were. simply some
" poor mounds of earth at Torres Vedras,"
and by these earthen redoubts, thrown up •
on every vantage ground, Wellington's po
sition was rendered impregnable. As the
quadrilateral fortresses of Austria, last
year, compelled the French to pause in
their career of victory, so says this. officer,
London should be our quadrilateral, and
that a chain of tolerably large forts, at a
sufficient distance not to interfere with its
-growth,' nor hamper its suburban traffic.
'Should: be'thrown up as -salient points of
defence. • Thaw forts would be' garrisoned
by volunteers, and thus the objection that

TEE SABB4TE QUESTION is again before
the public, in.connexion with a - bill which
has passed the House of Lords, and has
come'down to the COMIIIOI2B. Its author is
Lord Chelmsford, the ex-Lord Chancellor.
In. London, in many districts buying , and
selling in shops and streets prevails exten
sively on the whole of the forenoon of the
Lord's day, Thus at Rag Fair, at Lambeth
Cut, Somers Town, and Wliitecross Street,
an immense traffic is carried.on by the mass
es of the people. The evils, are immense.
The, abatement of it is proposed by the
above Mentioned bill—its enactments le
galizing traffic up , till ten o'clock A . .. 4.,
and after that time subjecting it- ro legal
penaltY. . If 'this were on the plea, "-of ne
cessity and mercy," it might be acceded
to. But all kinds of, shops are to be opened,
and periodicals and newspapers may be
hawked and sold on the public Streets, all
day, except from eleven to one . o'clock:

Whatever wealth, and wit, and example
