P.Errott 81Ntriti:---' Dear Brother : There are two very important facts to which I now 'propose to call attention) afterwards I 'inquire into the reasons of the fact. The:first fact, well known 'ant clisputedty_nobedy, is that.all men . do not come to .Christ for salvation. Atheists; Deists,,Pantheists do not come. Mormons, Spiritualists, Universalists, 'Socinians do not come. 'Murderers, adulterers, thieves, drutikards gamblers, blasphemers, tbe coy etous,,the self-righteous, the impenitent of every class and descriptien do not come': To the question, "lord,'are there few that be saved ?" the Lord replied, "Strive to miter in at the strait gate,-for many, I say unto you, shall seek to - enter in, and shall not be able." The road 'to. ;everlasting. death was in the Saviour's, time vory.wide, , and travellers exceedingly numerous. That fatal highway has net become leSs 'wide, while the gate that opens to eternal life is just as strait, and: the way - just as narrow as ever. The second fact, acknowledged alike, by Arminians and Calvinists, is that a certain portion of mankind do come to, the L6id Jesus to he' saved. Manyd weary sinner, oppressed with a. sense of .guilt, applied to . him in person during.his sojourn dn earth. Nor was such au application• ever in vain. That voice, WhiCh .in tones of awful rebuke sent consternation to a generation of vipers and hypocrites, fell in accents of .heavenly tenderness on the. ears of- the -broken in heart, and diffused a peape_through the spirit that passed allunderstanditig. Since the Redeemer's exaltation to the righ than d of power, vast multitudes have renounced the service of sin, have labored and suffered for his name's sake,and are reigning with him in glory. There are thousands' and tens of thousands now on earth, who. have fled from the, approaching storm to this dear Refuge.; who are united by 'faith to .Jesus, in whom Jesus lives, to whom Jesus is the power of God, and fbr whom -the very name ,of Jesus has -an inexpressible charm—a , Dear Name, the Rock on which they build, Their Shield and Hiding-place, Their never-failing Treasury; filled '• • ' With boundless stores of grace. Here, then, are two stupendous facts -oinc men come to the Lord Jesus Christ, nd are saved;' others do not come, and are ~ u 3t. How 'are we to account for these :acts ? Why do sinners reject the proffered :,id of the only I3eing that can deliver them, from destruction ? The Bible discloses the painful reason. A fixed, settled, deadly enmity to God' 18 the only barrier in the way. Let this be removed, and the attrac tions of the cross would be irresistible. But to the removal of . this barrier the im penitent sinner, in whose estimation sin is happiness and holines.s misery, will by no means consent. He woiild'in truth sooner part with life. You and we agree in , main taining that sinners refuse to come to the Saviour because they will not come, and that the reasons of their rejection ,Of the offers of mercy all have their origin in the, dreadful wickedness of their own hearts. They love darkness rather than light; that is, they love sin rather: than holiness, re-. bellion rather than obedience., Satan rather than God. The whole difficulty begins and ends with themselves. They ma/ not be saved. But though we are agreed on this point; we are not agreed, on this other question, " Why do sinners come to Christ . forsalva tion ? Christ, the Author of — life, points to`God the Father as the prime mover and originator of human redemption. It was he that sent the Son into themorld. It was he that gave the Son power over, all flesh, that he should g ive eternal life to as many as' he had given him. - It is remarkable, that Arminians, among the reasons they assign, neverlpecify the reason given by the Sa viour himself In no Arminian book can it be fennd, from no Arminian pulpit is. it proclaimed, that all that the Father gives, to' the Son shall come to him. And 'yet the salvation of each and every 'Christian is traced to this, as it,El ultimate source.. It conlfl,in fact have no Other. origi n ., What possible hope of escape from : endless c wrath colikl'there be to a race convicted of high trelisOn against the throne of heaven, had not .offers of pardon and reconciliation emanated from that, throne itself?. To suppose that the first steps toward recon ciliation would be taken by guilty rebels, would' be an absurdity only inferior to that other -very COMIIICITI, but most strange ab surdity, that guilty rebels haiie a just claim on God for a certain .measure of grace. JOHN SMITH. . For tho Presbyterian Banner Free Communion in Scotland. MEsarts. EDIToIts :—ln a recent editorial you alluded to the case of Rev. Mr. Dav idson, who, it seems, has 'renounded the close communion doctrine, held by. the Uaitetl Pr,csbyteria,us. It is interesting to know that in this matter Mr. D. has only gone back to the safe precedent of the best and most influential Ministers of the Scot tish ohurches.'; :Few men have.left a more grateful savor of eminent godliness and distinguished usefulness, than the lamented Alecheyne. Though scarcely in his thirtie,th year *hen he died, his name bears' a fragrance, Which hub- refreshed the spirits of hundreds ofi Zion's pilgrims. Of'his views on Psalm odyrtlite following extract from his memoir,. gl o w a , pleasing ilstr4ion: • velre w'as' never ' satisfied with his. own': inholinest. • * *•' About thib. peiiiodNha used to sing a pmilm or• hrtm•exerytday after dinner.

To the same effect, heartihe Harper, of the IJaifed.Rresbyterian ,b 047 1: He is now travellnit '.England, and writes the ChristianTWiitess of Cinbin: i nati, as follows: • • • "The impression, we think, is very gen- ,, oral that the ehurclies_of.lNeland and Scot land,amidentical with us on the subject of a Scripture Psalmody. One , good brother in the last Assembly opnoied a change in the present , version of the Psalms or any efforts for's 'new version, because it would sever tuvfroizi the churches of Scotland and Ireland!' -Such a: ii t entitnent would provoke a smile hete." l :The:fait isAhat neither the EStablished Olittreh 'of Scotland, nor the Free Church, nor'-the :United-Presbyterian Churoh, nor the Vtesbytetian , Church oft Ireland pre ten di to ' , adh'ere .to` the 'exclusive. use )of the Scriptwie Dallies? I believe thee' the Scottish version 'is gefieVally used in all these churches, but' nbrezelusively.

They know nothing:about the exclusive use of the Scripture, Psalms. If we'expeekthe thousands 'who are coming to our shores froth the4e churcheS to identify themselves with us, we'must have something different from tthe•present antiquated version:" Lk. thefirst volume. of his works, I'dc- Cheyne has, an essay on " Communion with brethren of other denominations." Ile takes such grotirtd as this': ' I believe it to be the mind of Christ, that all who are vir tually united to hini, Should love one an other, exhort one another daily, * * * pray witkand for one another, and sit down ,together at the Lord'stable. Each of these positions may, ho, Proved by the Word- of God. * * Upon this ',have always acted, both in sitting down to the Lord's table, and'in admitting othors`to `that bless ed privilege!' r In illustration The adds: "I . was once per nutted to unite in celebrating the Lord's Supper in an, upper room #1 Jerusalem. There were' fonrteen`preSent, most of when], had good•reason to believe, kneW and loved the Lord Jesus. 'Several were godly c v,p lc ,opalial i t,s, two ,were ;pon , verted Jews, and one a Christian from Nazareth, con- - relied under the American missionaries. The bread and wine were diSperised in the Episcopal manner, and most were kneelinn. as, they. received 'them. * * * 'Gee felt it to be, net the confusion of Babel, but the sweet fellowship with dhrist and the 'brethren." He then' quotes the remark. of Roland- Hill, who, when certain Baptists told him, "You cannot sit down at our hie," replied, " I thought It,wastthe,Lord's table." "The early Reformers," adds MeCheyne, held the same view. Calvin wrote to Creamer that he `would cross ten seas to bring it about. Baxter, Owen, and Howe, in a ,later generation,,pleaded ler it; and W the estminster Divin es laid down the same principle, in few but solemnp words: 'Saints' by profession, are bound to main tain a holy fellowship and communion in the worship of God—which communion, as God offereth opportunity, is to be extended to those who,,in,every place, call upon the natne of the Lord Jesus.' These words, , embodied in 'our Standards - show clearly that the views maintained above are the very principles of the. Church of Scot land. Such were the ,prineiples of the Be formerSl" These statements by McCheyne, are con firmed as matters' of fact;= by Mr. Harper, before quoted. Thus,; he. says : , " None„of these churches are identified. with us,in prinCiple or practice , on the sub ject of Communion, or Secret 'Societies, or Covenanting. There is, in fact, but one point of "strict identity, so fai as our dis tinetive,principles are concerned; and4hat is Slavery!' . I have copied these extracts from the la merited McCheyne, not merely ,because of the argument they contain, but as aft' lustrattons of the sort 't)f views , which are cherished by the best and most:giftedinen of the, Free Church.. Did any ,body ever, bring charges against Meeheyne for hold ing and publishing these dangerous senti-: meats? Such a proposition .:would doubt- less have been treated with derision. The. heart of the Scottish Church was, with him, and he well knew that he stood on safe ground. When' the General Assembly, of the noble Free Church united in singing " A hymn.of human coinpositien," - at' the' fiineral pe;Vite ferDf , ,Qll4lKairs,:they proved dist 'the spirit .which actuates, the body is ,, no . thrrow partyism, centending for mint, cm mmin, and. anise. It is gratifying to , find the iriewS 'of 'Me- Cheyne and the Free Chitin+ Aif Scotland, gradually making progre,ss,in this, country.

There I spent some, happy hours the society of Dr. N.

Dr. Bdgar, and afterwards, ,spoken ,at . many meetings in the North, ;besides, at tending the Irish 'General Esseinbly. Mr. Stuart's labors were almost incessant; and his closing, engagement, was on a Sabbath evening, an Linen Hall Street Presbyterian chnrch, Belfast, Where he delivered a very stirring and imPro salve address to a crowded gathering of Sabbath Schooneachers. The facts adstatistics:furnished by him with remard to the extended, domain and usef4- ness of the American Sunday School Union, Were very' , weighty, and lns anecdotes and illustrations were vivid- and telling. ' , ißoth gentlemen were on their way to Manchester f .to take part in , a ,publie meet= trig there, in Dr. Munro's church, and at this moment they are, probably in London, on their way to Paris. They intend; I be lieve, 'to" return home in a week cetwo. Their gratification' with the results of the Great, ; ,Awakening of .1859,: has been in tense,,a.nd while Dr. Murray cannot report on his return that Popery is no longer ma lignant, active, Vigilant; and influential, in Ireland, he can say with truth 'that one Provinee' is ainazingly.. changed, aild. 'that the Divine Spirit has raised up a band , of living„ earnest, evangelistic Christians,. whose ; influence, exertions, contributions, and' prayers, are the sure precursors of blessings to the whole laßd. • Great commemorative meetings Imve been held 14ready, and others are =yet to be con venea. have already ,described to , you that which, assembl4d on July 3d, in the BotaninGardeni, - 13elfast.

A lady who had an op-_ portunity of looking full ninu*th4 'mass from-the central;'platforth, ins fired me that' the spirit of seriousness and prayerfulness 'was even more, manifest than at the vast prayer-meeting of last year/ , • At Scrabo Hill, a lofty elevation near the town Of Newtonards and on the Open space around the base' of the 'monument recently erected to the memory, of the late Marquis of Londonderry;, a, kindred gather ing was " assembled last week.

'AtiondinePublie Worship. There j'is a growing tendency, even in New-England, to neglect public worship, or to ',give' half the day to the sanctuary, and'the other half to.'ease or relaxation. Every Christian ; ought td resist this ten dency, and give the whole force of his in fluence and example to, a regular attend anCe' on the ordinances of God's house. :heWestern pastor, in a published sermon, says It is. needful to create an overwhelming publie sentiment in favor of attending pub lic: WorShip, So that, as in Scotland, a man would feel ashamed to absent himself 'from the house- of Godfe . Thia . may be done in various ways. "First, by the: steady and undeviating example of all those whose consciences are right on this subject. What Linganis,"that' they should never, without goodreason, absent theraselves_from public worship; or,suffer their families , to be absent; mean.that as.often as the church-bell linos, they should:march to its music in solid col ' limn toile house Of God. People are more influenced by fashion than by pthiciple. They.love to go with the crowd. They ad mire a (treat congregation. - Let every sit tino in a .house of worship be occupied, and . ,you may be sure they will be almost beside themselves to obtain church accom modations. So much are we the creatures :of imitation. Now drops make the rivers, and rivers the ocean.

There was something in the manner of doing the thing that was highly significant : Rdsolved, That in consideration of the growing" laxness in doctrine and practice which prevails in the licensing of candi dates, and ordaining men as pastors over the churches, we do solemnly re-affirm the article& of faith adopted as the basis of this Pastoral Union, - and that, in our opinion, it is inconsistent with.
