The ~becture of Prof. TiripLsorT ? pit published; Was hence mat ter in the right ,hands, and treated,in i the proper place. *There is a •vast amount of, wOrkin the world for , ministers to perfor* Laborers areintensely neededd-L-needed in vast numbers, and with fair adaptedness. The men must suit the,times, and, suit the material to be wrought upon. , 'We want workmen who' can take human kind just as they :find 'thein,and' 'change them; by dod"s 'grace, to what they should be—la borers who can go right-into the field as it is, and stay there, and :produce the needed ,change. The world is 'yet, for :the most part, a "wilderness," and men' trained with' adaptations for " kitic , s' houses "..can-' 'not do the-needful. work. , . , , Professor NVILLsorr speaks of the dig. wily of the ministry. •in this' he 'gibes not Mean the - persons, tut the : office As for `the persens, they are earthen vessels, l ! Men of " like . passions "• with others. , • 13.ut their office is from on high; its add is the most noble, and, lowly as are the 'persons, they still shonld be eerifoirned, as far as humanitYla susceptible, te.the character of their calling and work. After several app proPriate remarks, the lecturer says to , his; classes : ' ' • 44 I urge this, also from aconviction that net a few : off' the evil 3 which; through' ha- h d man infirmity, mar t e beauty an in, er the efficiency of the ministerial office, as a living function, " have their immediate source in low and unworthy viewe'regard , ing it, on the part`of those to whose hands it has. been intrusted, and corresponding feelings.in regard to'ltsstaramnimi:dignity and, excellence. ,The Christ,ian minister ;should ever hold his place among men as oue so high—r S til speak of the 'office it. self:--that none' could have_dared eVen, enter ; it :unless called - of od—Ltoo hi without a special designation, for', even aa gelic nature to occupy; ,outranking chief seats of honor and Authority in any dePartinent of Merely human,concern'; and AO pure' to 'be polluted by any feelings of envy, or jealousy,or, rivalry, or pride, Or' covetougnesS; or to be 'degraded by any ter mixture of carnal or 'sinidter ends 'and motives." ' •i - . . It is then Armed; that c'3tie of the neat' itinisterial., qualifications is ;. religious curioSity. By this rather unusual phrase, the Professor mearts-:, "A desire to, know truths and fleets which bear directly on things 'and. ends spiritual and divine : a. euriosityle learn :the truth of Christ; to know-moire of GOO, .f his' 'Word, of his government,: providence and claiins; - . more of man, hie relations, reepon- Sibilities ; character, historY; and destiny;' more-of the grace of God in its 'souice, workings in the heart, its influence upon the life. In thernaelves:tbese` are, beyond allikluestion,... most important to all.men; as matters of personal and 'eternal'interest: Fence none can wisely or safely neglect them, or even give them `a subordinate place: 'but they constitute, us all know,the special field of ministerial Study; and "de inand study, constant, earnest, and: per severing. - To prompt and, impelM suck acquisitions a strong curiosity, a desire whiekcan never be satiated, and which can feel satisfied only in perpetual acquisitionsiis peusable. - - The third qUarifieation brought under nOtienis, sincere and ardent piety. ' Of l is the lecturer says : ' ' "`True 'piety alone awakens and'regulates that principle o ,curiosity just considered. "True piety imparts an ability to finder stand, and wisely, and' affectionately, and perseveringo to exhibit , Gospel truth is not enough, to present 'truth, nor even to enforce it by argnment. Both mayl?,e, done, and still' shmething be' painfully' wanting. There may be, in the of exhibitiOii, no '.persiviSive pOWCT. It is all dry. ' No, more like livina truth', than corpse is Elie d'min. In what this parsua-,. sive power consists, it May''not be possible to .state very clearly in it's:details and tile ments; but it lies; - evidentlY„in the soul of the speaker. it is the life of the speaker, which goes along with: the truth,' and makes . itself felt by the hearer, ,awakening a' sympathy with him .who addresses us, and tending Re mould the:convictions and feel: ings into unison with his. One 'forth` of it the 'French call Its existence" is beyond ~ disinite`, as y •ia its importance?, and 'the general fact that "it originates 'in the full incorporation of the truth with the understanding and affections, , of the orator. It may, indeed, bePartially stimulated. Chreonatie tones, interjections, and upturned eyes, may ,counterfeit it; but not beyond detection ; and, detection, as in all other eases of fraud; however pionS, awakens supreme disgust and a'ver'sion.:' To, be 'ellective, it must be sincere; It can; only be sincere, when it has its birth-place, in a heart full of Christ, of compassion 'for the perishing, of; Voly indignation against , error and sin—in a heart inibued with , " MARL THEM WHICH CAUSE DIVISIONS.' Suchperions were objectionable and held, up as yeinkworthy of rektike, in Apostolic; days, and they are no less reprehensible now. At present a small number of our _ministers in.Sentucky are making untiring efforts to separate-the Kentucky,,churches from us, abeunite therit with the ecelesi .astical seeeders - who have 'gone out - from us and fol:/ned.the Presbyterian ,Church of the Beath.
