A REPROOF AND A SUGGESTION, The following incident. shows how a bishop met with an unexpected ; reply, and at the same time suggests - a .. , enost im portant truth.. However many helpers'the minister of the • Gospel may enirifoy in t the, interpretation and illustration of Scripture,• or howevor, deeply he may . bureadrin stand awl. theology, let this sermons•nhear the-im press of his own mind and be warmed by theimpulses of his own heart_as it has been made; to glow.with a Saviour's ,39ve. This will make tie sermon attractive; and refreshing: , Bishop BURNETT,, at °neva his visite tions,mben the - name of alvery old gentle man was . called over (of whom a private complaint had been made that ithe parish could . not endure p himle gave such bad sermons,) gravely chided the _poor parson , : "I am told, Mr. thatyour parish is very well satisfied with you ; ,in;: :many, res pects, but ..they are much:discontented with• your sermons.

And on the part of God, the inflic tion is both just and benevolent. He pun itsites potions for their sinsi and, in our chse,'4re tfus‘, he means that it shall result in benefits. The ,sins which have provoked God's.an ger may be embraced under 'the four heads —national infidelity, national immorality, national pride, and national oppression ,nr slavery. Three of these are confessed by all who advance any serious claims to be re prded as Christians. The iburth iS'd'enied by' many; and they endeaVor to defend their position ,by affirming ,that slavgry ez isted when, OUP national being • commenced, and': aver since, and yet God .`bleSsed its greatly.
