LONDON, Dec: 7 , 1861.
SPEcuai PRAYER is being offered in con
nexion with the Anglo-American crisis.
"To OUT knowledge," says the Record, of
Monday last, "'it was anticipated in some
of the metropolitan , churches, yesterday,
and we cannot doubt but that it, will awaken a
response in thousands of Christian hearts!'
Mitt Marsh had previously Addressed to
the Record, the following letter :
" Sir :—At this moment when a. war
with America is imminent, will you not
call upon the praying people of the land to
beseech of God yet to avert the curse of
war—a. double curse when it falls between
kindrea nations of kindred faith.
" I am, &0.,

It certainly is a special duty =and privi
lege at such a crisis, to repair to the throne
of Infinite Wisdom, to the Mercy Seat,
over whieji sits in his glory, the Govern
or of XationS., How many the 'true chil
dren of God are on either side of the At
lantic—how closely connected multitudes
of them are by! European birth place . and
Scottish,Ulstdirti English blood ! And
then how, if they share,
as both parties.
naturally do, more or less of the chafed
spirit of irritation which, as it were, fills
the air around them, how it tends to bring
both into a humble, contrite, forgiving, for
bearing condition of mind` and soul—when.
"debtors," to justice theMselves, and need
ing a free pardon from the' Great Absolver,
they say to "Our (common)_ Father which
art in heaven, forgive us our debts even as
we forgive our debtors !" May that spirit
reign and rule. -May it find enlarged and"
honest'utterancein that fresh New Year's
Concert for prayer which American mis
sionaries Were the first to propose. And
may the lanswer comea-rsuch as-,the real
friends , of -Evangelical Until and Protest
ant strength, would and ought most earn
estly to desire and long O."
The conviction prevails Imre that our
Government does. not wish a conflict, and
also that President Lincoln is of , the same
mind, and likely to disavow thallroceed
ings of an officer, who, it is now sler,..acted
without orders, and proceedings,
whether legal or illegal,, not only exasper
ates many, but also daniages , even the Fed
eralist cause both politically and in refer
ence to the tremendous home stiliggie in
whichthe United States,. by no fault of
their own, are involved. Thus evil is done
for example, in the sense that a loan could
not now be raised, if it were required, so
110 to arrest a drain of gold (ere long be
lieved to be coming,) tathis side from New
York. In like manner, the prohibition by
Royal' proclamation, of the departure from
the 'United Kingdom, of saltpetre, nitrate
of soda brimstone , arms of., all kinds, &a.,
of which .immense quantity had lately
been purchased or ordered, must be a loss
of no small amount to the cause of the
United States.' . . .
General Scot*. letter to the Paris•pa
pert., tends to increase hopes of a peaceful
settlement, as be clearly denies that any
order was previouslf given to Captain
Wilke to, stop English vessels, in search r.
for Udel and Masonf , kAt, all events he
is anxious to prevent a War. But the dif
ficulty is, that he calls that "a pretence,"
which our Law officers (lona& ~the law of
the question—namely;thothe, 2, l rent ought
to have been taken into port. .Alas, if it
be true what the Daily Telegrapk,:says of
the. issue of negotiations: " Those' who
know best, hope least; .and we may talk of;,
this coming conflict with: only too .01100,
1 la that our talking;, will , have been'
ffitown away," • I trust and hopathat,this
will prove au unwarranted foreboding.
A DEPLOS,ABLZ CALAMITY has occurred

" THE RAG-Cor.rxeriNG BRIGADE "
such is a new development of the Ragged
School system. The Shon-blaok. Brigade
began with twenty-four boys, but its num
ber: for the year. ending February last, was
three hundred ~ancl thirty-one, and their
year's earnings were 44,447, , .from shoes
and hoots blanked: at id. eaoh pair on. Lon
don streets. The new movement will be-
gin with January, 186/ During the
month .or October last, no less than 7,850
bags of foreign rags were auctioned at Liv
erpool, alone. the rags in. London itself,
clippings, &c., must be immense. There
is a class of dealeis in them, who keep
" Marine Stores," so called, and where
short, weights are often used, and their
proprietors often tempt servants to rob
their masters. Now we shall have the fine
boys in, clean; dress and uniform, calling at
our doors for rags, ,hones, kitchen stuff,
waste paper, worn and broken metal, &c.
They will have covered trucks, scales,
weights, and receipt books, and, pay ready
moneyfor, their purchases. An adult su
perintendent, will, for the first few months,
accompanyeach party. A " Brigade Bank"
will be-established, and no boy will be
raised to the position of collector, and in
trusted Itith the money`' for the daily trad
ing payments, till Jut has at his credit in
this bank, a sum sufficient to'gUirantee the
amount orhis daily. dealings. Store rooms
will benbtained, where under skilled man-
agement the boys will.sort.and prepare the
stuff for sale. Could not this movement
be introduced with great advantage into
American towns and cities?
" WYCLIFFE AND LOLLARDY" WES this
week the subject of a very able lecture be
forethe Young Men's Association, at ,Exe
ter Hall. The lecturer is an eminently
useful and Evangelical preacher in the Es
tablished Church, well versed in, or rather
deeply imbued with, peculiar views in the
ology, and wont' to address awakening or
edifying discourses' of rare excellence to a
very numerous and deeply attached congre
Lion in Solloway, Loudon., .The lecture—
although it lasted two hours—was long
but not lengthy, and' in the middle of it a
hymn was sung by the vast audience, to the
Swellina b diapasorr of the great organ. The
first part of the lecture gave a pictorial and
historically faithful sketch of the social and
moral conditionsof the 'people of, England in
the age when Wycliffe appeared, as well as.
in that immediately preceding. The baie
King John and the terrible Papal Inter
diet, by which the whole kingdom was put
under ban, the mass‘ left unsaid, and the
dying unannealed and unshriven ; the
°hunter and reign of Edward V.; the
wealth and luxury of the regular clergy;
the sudden rise of Abe Dominican Friars,.
their immediate popularity, and their sell
ing (in connexion with •preaching. at Fairs
and the exhibition of holy
,relics,) of
" pardons;" their greed and covetousness;
and then their denunciation. by Wycliffe,
his circulation in MS. of small tractates
among the people, showing that pardon
must come from God alone, and through
the merits of Jesus Christ; the spread of
the leaven. of Lollardy .specially WI the
midland counties, and also in Kent; the
danger of Luther from the.enraged bishops;
his appearance at old St. Paul's his pro
tection by great nobles espousinghis cause;
his parish labors at Lutter*orth, in Leices
tershire ; and, above all, his magnum opus,
the first translation of the Bible into
the English tongue—finally; "his death and
burial, and forty-four years afterwards, the
exhuming and burning of his bones by
Papal zealots~; " his ashes, as old Fuller
bath it, being " cast into the Swift, thence
into the Severa l thence into the Narrow
seas, and'so passing, like, his. own doctrine,
all round• the world."
Mr. Mackenzie. very strikingly pointed
out
-the indebtedness of the Englishuatiou
to Wycliffe, or rather to Him.whe has kin
died inn) light and usefulness this " Morn-,
iog Stare. of the Reformation." And. lie
closed with two solemn and weighty les
sons, a disceurse which was received with
great enthusiasm—the first; how much one
man -might do; and the-second, a voice of
personal,- monition to every youth present:.
".My son, , ,know thou the God of thy:t
&the; and serve, him with a perfect heart.
and a willing.mind ; if thou seek, him; he l
will be found of thee, but if thou forsake.
him, he will cait,thee, off forever!?
A visit to Lutterworth had been made by, ;
myself, in the discharge of,publie,duty, the
week preceding this lecture in, Exeter Hall.
This coupled with my, personal acquaint-,
acme with *Mr. Mackenzie, made me feel
ihe more deeply interested. Let me try to
take your readers with me to Litterworth.
- We` ave got to a railway station nearest to
'it . —nearly four miles ff o--en the midland
counties , railway. We must walk those
four miles. Well, let it be so. We are on
the broad highway, with almost as broad an
troddenmargin, quick set hedges on either
side, and far as the eye can see, green. fields,
Kilthough,,,tlevember ,is almost ,at its last
breath,) on which are herds of cattle and
ffeeks of Sheep. These are among the
, fittest 'pastures id all' England, and these
old ditches that divided them—just like
those at Kenilworth , and in the neighbor
hood—can be little changed since Wycliffe's
days. The associations are entirely agri
cultural ; and that front - a' small market
town,. in , the midst of such a peaceful,
bucolic legion, should.go forth an influence
that should awake to rage.the Tatican, and
almost convulse it with terror, _ and mt the
same time should draw forth (for,thebene
fit of millions unborn,) " from dusky se
, questration " the Scriptures .of Truth-7
this ,is hard to realize. Thus felt I, „too,
when J,atood once on the field of Waterloo,.
se site**, and nature in the, freshness of
sweet Su‘mer in its noon; so have I, felt
at „Newark, r , in Nottinhamshire, whence
Cromwell's cannon, planted on th ' ese green,
artificial mounds outside , the town,
_bad
drigen .out Charles 1., crambling ,the old
caitle about his, ears, and compelling him
to give himself 'up to the Scottish army . ,
but three miles away.
Such meditations bring us to Latter
worth;on the West' of a swelling 'upland,
and tctits old church Mies. to the left of
thelltighway, once, as in. Wycliffe's time,
mroWned with a spire,"'(Whose model' is
within the Church;) bui that taken away
by a lightning bolt, as if to say that ROM P S'
proud pretensions were -humbled to the
dust, where once she said, '" am a Lady
'forever— , * * I shall know'no sorrow."
Soon after we repairi- accompanied by a
,courteous Congregationalist pastor to the
church , itself...An old: woman custodian _of
,the keys is sought onti and. , while there -is
a little delay:in her,arrival, we survey: be
exterior of, the building.. .The nave; is
narrow, the, channel, still F more , so. The,
,achiteeture is, ,evidently: net, unique 7--, it. is.
of ..,different styles and centuries. , One por.
9 ;URGH, SATURDAY, JAN HARP 4, 1862.
I tion., only, the nave, is, as old as the four
penal century, and beneath the low arch
fir that old doorway in the Southern `side,
ofttimes, it is believedi. Wycliffe had
stooped, going to and..fro in the discharge
of his priestly functions",--for he lived rand.
died nominally a pries! of Borne.
But now the door is opened; and we enter
the 'building. It is sadly disaPpointing as
to the' aspect of antiquity,' because the
high-backed pews of.sthe,' last• century are
everywherb except in tht. chancel .itself.
Here, however, are the nave and the old,
arches perfect—the voice_ of Wycliffe once
chanted "matins" or " even-song" here,
and better still, gave forth , utterances .of
truth which reached flowingly the hearts of
many whose dust has, been •resting,without
in the old churchyard, for well nigh five
hundred years: There are here also the
alleged relics of Wycliffe'a time---the' chair
at the side-of - the communion table,"-in
which he was wont tocsit ; the portrait in
the vestry, (or sacristy,) which was said to
have been taken from life, and the holy
vestment or " chasuble * " in which he used
'to minister at the altar.
As glibly as that well-remembered old'
'woman who showed me, at Warwick Castle
Lodge, the ":porridge pot"-of Guy, Earl
of Warwick, (in which. messes , were pre
pared fbr his, soldiers,) and who concluded
her, fee-prompted description by taking a
long crow-bar and sweeping it round the
edges of the porridge 'pot, causing it to ring
out in tones of, thunder ,the echoes of :..a
mighty past—so ,glinly talked in days past
the guide who led strangers through the
parish church at Latterwarth, and 'pointed
out the real and original relics of John
Wycliffe. But alas i l for. her. Her "occu
pation," if it is not "gone," is now shorn
sadly of its glories, and she can only now
take you into a corner of the sacristy, and
show you a very old oaken chest, clasped
with iron plates, (a real dry-as-dust box,
older, perhaps, than even ,Wyeliffe's time,)
in which she . thinks the great man
. once
kept his books.
But how is tins? Why, a famous Rug
by antiquarian, and a Member of an Eccle
sielogical Church Society, not long since
appeared at Lutterworth. Thoroughly
" up" in all architectural. styles, and as,
cognisant of the ages of arches and archi-,
traves of oriel windows and pillars as is pro
fessor Owen, of the ostecdogy of Magathe=
ria and other pre-mundane mattersythis cru
el and: relic-c/ast (excuse meceining a word.
for the nonce,) made out by, a demonstra
tion (in Lutterworth Town Hall,) convincing
even to the reluctant Ltitterworthians them
selves, that the " chair" was comparatively
modern; that the f‘ portrait "I.Waa but the
copy' of another, which ,itself 7 -presenting
Wycliffe, not• with the beardless, face and,
shaven crown of his age and priestly office,
but with the flowing ocks and long beard,
such as were worn two or -three-centuries
laterwas a make-believe, and an imposture.
And then—as to that robe of divers colors,
'which is now covered over by a glass deer—
why, it was proved that it,' could never have
been worn by, a priest of anyage at all. Sic
transit glarza—not of Wycliffe,butuf rel
ic-worship at Lutterworth. Wycliffe, how
ever, lives, in the voice of every shore of
that sounding sea which bore his ashes
around :the world; and lives in 011 r ONVII
English Bible, which speaks- truth _and
comfort in the-backwoods and she,alings of
American forests and prairies, amid the
pine woods of Canada, in the Australian
bush-fire, and, in the myriad homes of the
Anglo-Saxon ,race. Wycliffe is, dead,- yet
alive. Kings are dead and live not, for
" all flesh is grass, andxll the glory of man
as the flower of grass—the grass withereth,
the flower fadeth, BUT THE WORD OF oun
GOD •SHALL =AND FOREVER."
On the Northern wall of the church at
Lutterworth, are two cenotaphs—one in:
memory of Dr. Ryder, who was formerly
Rector'ef the parish, but who became Bishop
of Lichfield—holy, beloved, and long time
a great evangelical Light. and Witness for.
Christ and who "multurn jiebilis occidit -"
the other in honor of Wycliffe himself,
erected about twenty' ears,ago by the Rec
tor- Mr. Gurney, now the vigorous and;'ex
cellent incumbent of the parishof Maryle
bone, London. I cannot refrain from
recording, in your,columns„ this 'just and
loving tribute to the. illustrious Reformer
before the Reformation:
Sacred to - the memory of John •Wye
liffe, the: earliest: champion of ecclesiastical
reformation in _England. •;. He was born in.
Yorkshire A. D. 1324. In 1375 he was
presented to the Rectory, of Lutterworth,
where/he died' on the 31st December, 1384.
At. Oxford,.he acquired.:not only the 're
nown of. a consummate scholar, but the, far
*tore glorious title of the Evangelical Doe
tor. His whole :life was one 'impetuous
'struggle agairist the 'Corruptions and en
'croachments • of 'the +Papal> Court and- the
impostures, of its devoted auxiliaries, the
Mendicant Friars.. ,
" His labors in the cause of Scriptural
truth, were crowned by one 'remarkable
achievement--his translation; of the Bible
into the English tongue_ This mighty
work drew on him, indeed, the bitter ha
trecl of all who were making Anerchandise
of popular credulity .and ; ignorance. But
.he found an, abundant reward in the bles
sings of his countrymen, of every rank and
age, to Whom he unfolded the words of
eternal lifet
- "His mortal remains were interred near
this spot, but they were not allowed to ,rest
in peace. After a lapse of many years, his
bones were dragged from the grave and
consigned to the flemes;and his ashes were
cast into 'the . seaters . - , of the adjoioing
stream."
I am not aware that this. inscription has.
ever been published- in the 'United States,.
or even in England; probably it appears
in print the : first time in your columns. It
is painful for me to conclude this somewhat
lengthened, bar I trust not uninteresting
notice of Wycliffe, Lutterworth, by stating'
that the true old Gospel is not preached
now • in the parish, church. There are both
Rector and Curate; they are not High-
Churchmen and exchisivn; they are civil
and courteous, but ' the sheep look up and
are not fed." Life, light, and power, with
the Gospel of the grace of. God, are, alas!
'wanting.
P. S.—A terribly disastrous and de
strUctivre fire, involving the lois of life to a
considerable extent, has taken place at Ant
werp.;.:
Thereis, great depression in, stocks, and
shares. 'Consols have fallen since the news

HOW, A, CURATE . Bxqa.mx, 1%. ; RECTOR.--
Archbishop Whately, in his "Annotations
on Bacon's Essays, relatei the following
anecdote : " A curate of a 1:ondon parish,
of most exemplary conduct, *as accustom
ed to remonstrate very freely with any of
.his people whose life was not what,it should
have been. They wished, much to get rid
of him, but Could find-no pretext for com
plaint; either'to the Rector or the Bishop.
They therefore hit upon this cunning plan :
They drew• up and signed a memorial, to the
Bishop, setting ,fortli f the admirable, charac
tar of the entate,, lamenting that,. his emi
nent worth should not be rewarded, and
earnestly` recommending . him for prefer
ment. •Soon -after, this very .living quite
unexpectedly . betame, vacant, -whereupon
the Bishop,, considering how acceptable, as
well as deseriino• he appeared co be, pre
sented him to it, informing him of the me
morial. The good man thanked his people
with:tearful 'eyes,*rejoicing that they had
,taken in good part.his freedom of speech,'ad assuring them that he would continue
I t'll his life the course which - had won their

He wants what every 'father asks of his
children, a loving heart and a life devoted to
his interests. But here iswhere we see the
baseness of men. How few are found ;to
return and give glory to God ? Yet where
is the man who• is under no obligations to
him ? Not merely for general blessings,
but-also and rather for special merciew. to
soul and body, and family, and success in
life ? , And. what promises have been made
to him in times of danger and trouble, on
condition of his deliverance ? His deliv
erance has come, and they were rescued ;
" But where are the nine'?" Oh!'it seems
to us, that question. must often be -asked hp
the Son of God, in these - our days. On
every Sabbath day, when the ahureh bell
_calls men to worship God, he enters the
sanctuary,' and, remembering how many
who haVe been favored; have heard -the
call, but are- away, he asks again, as of old,
"Where;are -the_ nine?".:,At- every com
munion season, he * comes down and calls the
roll, and then in amazement asks, " Were
not ten cleansed ?" " but where are the
nine ?" Every night when he giveth his
beloved. sleep, and rocks, the cradle , of the
earth, he hears voices of singing , and,
prayers coming up from altars at hearth:
stones, yet so few in number that again,µ
as of old, he asks, " Where are the *nine ?"
We pass around our papers and books for
the names and contributions of; all those
who are willing to aid the cause of . Christ
and in the world; after these lists are re
turned, they are scanned, by the eye of One
" who was rich, yet for .our sakes became
poor," and missing. the -names xof many
whom he has; delivered, he inquires again,;
a But where are the nine ?" ' And this is
not so much the language of inquiry, as it
is of astonishment and pain. To be
*minded in-the house of his friends, to be
neglected.by the men whom he has cleansed,
this is the hardest blow of all, and infin
itely worse than the idolatry of the heathen,
or the unbelief of the Jews.
But there cometh the day when that
question will be asked again. When the
sheep shall once be separated from the - goats,
and Christ shall compare the number of
those actually saved with the number he
favored with great blessings and opportuni
ties, he will once 'more ask, "Were - not
ten cleansed? 'But 'where are the nine?"
And there come :aback•: from the re
gion of the damned, the reply, "They :are
here 1"

Too Much Talk--Too Little Prayer.
Have' .we not in, this caption indicated
the.great mistake, not: to , say the great. sin
—of the American, people? We ail talk;
we discuss; and speculate, and criticise, and
find fault, and " opinionate," as a friend of
ours has it, 'concerning the movements.and
aspects of public affairs; but we fear that
comparatively few really and humbly . , and
fervently pray over these matters, " spread
ing them out," - as good Hezekiah did his
case in time of trounle, " `before the Lord."
'Evens on the day of our National Past, your
decided conviction is that, there wee too lit
tle praying in proportion to the preaching.
A very large number of very good sermons
were delivered; probably many more than
were really needed; and- so the sermons
were talked about; and the war was. talked
about, and the Government was talked
about- and the secessionists were talked
about, and all things pertaining to our con
dition were talked about, with the very
breath that ought to have been spent in prayer
to,God. Is it not so :2. Jehovah says, "Be
still, and know that I am God;" ; but we
are hardly willing to be still long enough, to
know this as we ought to know it.
Physicians are accustomed to judge of
the state of the body by the tongue, and
somebody,has reinarked.. that philosophers
judge of the state of the mind by the same
means According to this method, it may
be fairly assumed that the mind of the great
majority is in a fevered condition, and need's
cooling and soothing . 'appliances. 'We
recommend ,a more thorough, trial , . of ~the
tranquilizing efficacy, of ,prayer. Thou
wilt keep him :in perfect peace • whose mind
is stayed on thee, because he trusteth tbee."
$o it is written. But we shall have little
of this quiet trust, and therefore little of
this, stayed and peaceful attitude , of.soul,
without more, prayer—a more, constant
habit of carrying our solicitudes to God,
and "pouring out our hearts before him,"
instead 'of ceaselessly and nervously talk
ing our thoughts to our fellow-mortals,
Who , are as ignorant and restless, as our
selves.
And certainly we should serve our
try better by less talk and more,prayer: , It
was >by solitary, wresthnk, importunate
prayer, that Jacob became Israel, with the
assurance. Divinely communicated, ..".As a
prince hest thou power with God and with
men; and'halt prevailed!' More of the
true ".seed of Jacob," more of Israel's
power to prevail with - God, is.our country's,
special need in this hoir of her < trial ,and
peril. While we seek to increase the
strength and efficiency of our army, and
navy, may the host of the praying ores
be multiplied, and the breath of 17fUtt talk
be largely exchanged for the breath of
prevailing supplication.--Christia.n Treas

It is too much the' custom for men of the
world; and those entertainingliberal ideas,
to sneer at religion, and make its' ministers'
the subject of their scorn. We take it to
be a sign of cowardice , to scoff at either
woman or a clergyman, for the sex of, the
one and the profession of the other pro
hibits a reply. - Whatever may be said of
individnal'eases," - there something in the
clerical profession which commands our re
epect,- and, especially; -when considering the
position theybave assumed in the progress
of the present rebellion. Throughout the,
loyal States the patriotism of the clergy
men has been extraordinary, and no engine
of 'public sentimentr''is more powerful and
patriotic than the , pulpit. Some of these
appeals are among the most splendid speci
mans of eloquence,,and their effect will go
far toward, uniting the national feeling, and
concentrating' the loYal energies of our

Do You, Reail
Did you ever _think of. the pleasure. to
be derived from reading ? To hold- com 7 .,
munion With the,minds, of, good men in all t _
past ages—the purest and nciblest, the most ,
intelligent' nd far-seeing-4s certainly very
pleasing. Sweet as honey to the tastd -aro
the glowing thoughts and emotions Istirred
by a good book; and.he who.knows how to
read has always at.. hand,. .when,.: among:
books, a ready means for deriving the
highest .enjoyment. He nay truly say,
«I steed not go abroad for joys,
Who have . a twit at home.".
Did you ever think-of the projit of good
reading_?_"- How much more select the
Choice of words, and the arrangement of
the style, than in ordinary conversation t"
and then , how much more rapidly can the,
mind take in •ideas from running-the eye
over the printed page,,than when it.must a.
await the slow utterance of the lagging.
tongue Here. is the choicest and most
varied information collected by the beat
men of-theft - ages, all -brought together and
preserved for-us, -how• profitable; therefore,
to read all this, and ,to• do ; at. ene's
leisure !
Besides, did you never think how a good
book to read, or, rather how reading di9rtin
ishes temptations i botipto evil thoughts and
to bad deeds ? ,om Dr. Watts sang: with
as much ,truth as,poetry, 'to say the, least.
.For Satan Ands some misohi'ef still .
For idle lunids to'do."
With' much greater force may it be said
of that game industrious gad-about, that he
finds some mischief- for idle minds , to
think. But reading, whileit employs the
mind, will drive away, all, or, at least, most
of those tendencies rto evil thought, and
keep ~the mind occupied thoroughly with
something good. And then, when you are
reading a good book,how will= that-business
drive, away evil associates, and so fill up
your own time, that you will find no oppor
tunity to engage in wieked or in unprofita
ble deeds. Add' together, then, the Plea
sures,• the profits, and the securitics.of read
ing, and tell us, young man, tell us, young
woman if it will not pay to form a habit of
reading Y It will not coat much money,
and will save`a great deal. flt will not cost
'much labor, and' will make that labor very
sweet. It will not demand a great deal of
time, and will make all time pass away
swiftly: and. agreeably. Learn to read,
then, and follow up the practice.
Joy and Praise.
What was-the spirit of the Gospel as it
existed in the experience of believers in
the apostolic age it was •preeminently a
glad and joyous spirit. They bad received
by faith a Gospel which-brought them glad
tidings of , great joy, and their daily walk
was in the fear of the Lord and in the com
forts of the Holy. Ghost.. A natural, and
with them, the habitual expression of this
-joy was praise. No' sooner was the Lord
parted from his disciples, and carried-up to
heaven, than they returned to Jerusalem
with• great joy, and were continually in
the temple praising and blessing God."
Praise was a part of the daily expression
::of that Pentecostal gladness with which
_thousands of new converts at Jerusalem re
ceived the rust great outpouring of the.
Spirit.... "And they did eat their meat with
gladness -and singleness of heart, praising
God?' At midnight, in the inner prison
-at Phillippi, two prisoners with their feet
fast in the'stoat, were overheard praying
and -singing praises-to God. The peace
which passeth all understanding kept their
hearts, and One.who never sleeps, and who
, has promised never to forsake them, was
near. Both they and their companions in
the faith were often in tribulation; but as
the-sufferings of.ehrist: abounded in them,
sotheir consolation also abounded by Christ.
They, knew, how to he abased, and how to
abound; how' to' be full, and how to be
hungry ; and in whatsoeverstate they were,
therewith• to .be content. Whether they
were. la favor -with -all the. people, .or were
led forth to. prison and.to death, they went
out with joy, and were led fOrth with peace:
They knew not What a day would bring
forth; but they were careful for nothing,
casting all-their care on him who oared for
them.
Incised be ,God I ,the joy which prison
walls and chains, and
.midnight darkness
could not extinguish, was not confined to
the apostolic age. ' The history of Chris
tianity, down- to the time of Constantine,
presents-the great • body of believers as be- •
ing : ,pervaded, to an extent• never since re ,
sliced, with the spirit of religions joy ex ,
pressed by praise. The, living spring of
gladness' which had been opened in their:
hearts poured itselrforth in exuberant ; ,
never-failing streams - of - sacred melody.
It sent these streams -winding and purling
along all the paths , of life; making them,
like the garden of the Lord, a perpetual'
delight: In their social gatherings, in their
homes, and in their daily private walks, the
early Christians lived and moved in an atw
mosphere of praise. Generally, no 802.3016
of household worship.was without it. The
reading of the Scriptures, prayer, and se,-

active labors of the day,.a,ccompanied: their
