Can `such persons be ,happy? It is , to be remembered also in estima ting the condition of the wealthy, that fa minority with comforts and luxuries di r • minishes -their capability of affording sat idfaction. Princely mansions, splendid furniture, luxurious tables, numerous ,at, tendanto, showy equipages, magnifioent decorations—all these, so' envied , iby' the, poor, are in general regarded by the 'rich as mere matters of course. Their' loss ;would be deemed a, great privation, but their possession contributes but little to real enjoyment. - "BeSides' the' consideration. - that wealth adds but little to subitantial happiriesa, .an additional reason why the poor should not envy the rich is, that in their own condi:, tionlhey posseis some of the mostreliable. . sources Of joy. The necessity of daily toil is itself a blessing. The mind, as well as the body is kept employed without' being . harassed with-the cares of an eitensive and complicated • business. The laborer' is cheeiful in his 'occupation; and vie more so because he is thereby providing for the wants of those whom he loves, and who look to him for sustenance.: His labor also prepares him for relishing the''SubStantial supplies of 'a frugal table, and for'the en joyment of sweet' repose when, the toil • of the day. is over. And' then, too, the poor, especially if 'they are God's children, 'may find great cause for rejoicing in the superior adapta tion of their condition to their .growth, in grace. Our: Saviour's words in regard 'to' the spiritual difficulties so generally at tendant upon riches are solemnly sigtlifi cant. Wealth is ensnaring, and eminently unfavorable te the cultivation of the Chris tian graces. Temptations to forgetfulness of God, to conformity to the world, to neg leet of heavenly things are ever present and ever pressing upon persons'in affluent circumstances. ,grom these temptations the poor are not only in a measure free, but they find much in their condition that dis poses them to submission to the Divine will to a ready compliance with the Divine commands, to. ;the exercise of a child-like trust, to walking humbly,with God, and to looking! forliard;to heaven as their blissful 'peitionl • - - In speaking of the ieni,We - have not c had in view extreme even of aestitntion. ,there are multitudes whose poverty brings with it r , tio compensating blegsings; thougir mast of :elioh, eases their eitierae po T iert n iiietehedrietis ire' to 'he atiributed.Z their. own idleness , thriftlessness, ,or.im morality. •Our,remarks have had referenbe to the industrious lioorto those wlio a're obliged "to labor' daily for their own stm tentinele andihat 'of others.

This feeling is founded upon a mistaken view of the comparative happiness of the two classes ; and in proportion as it is cher ished, in that proportion is it the source of unnecessary trouble to those who enter tain it. The rich by no means enjoy life as the poor so commonly imagine. Business men among the former class are, we feel per suaded, less happy for the most part than the employed among the latter. Their business is usually extensive and complica ted. Much is at stake. Engagements are numerous and pressing. Far-reaching plans are to be adopted. The strictest' attention is necessary in order to their successful ex ecution. The mind is too intently and constantly employed. It becomes fatigued and careworn. The wealthy business man commonly derives }it little enjoyment frond his immense possession's. Unemployed wealthy men are often even more unhappy than those, who, are im mersed in business. Their very,want of employment is a source of unhappiness; Mad is 'born for activity. Some 'degree of , employment is indispensable to. Content, mcnt. Time drags heavily with the idle. Hours to them seem like days in duration.. They are oppressed with ennui.- "itou hear CALLING MEV SW =NM = PRESBYTERIAN BANNER.---SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 223 1862. was long repudiated at the North, almost as indignantly as at the South. Hence the thought that its application would excite a revulsion upon the persons thus denomina ted. We find that the advice in the letter alluded to, is being generally adopted. And not only is it being adopted by speak ers and writers at the South, but also; by their Nokhern sympathisers: Under this general use it will soon lose its old signifi cation. It will come to signify loyalty and patriotism. It will designate the men who are the friends of their country. It will be the, opposite of " rebel" and " traitor." Then, men will glory in it. Then also, in the progress of our country's arms, and in the greater spread of knowledge,in the• South, and in the return of good sense to the virL tuous among the people, there will spring up, not merely a Union party, but, an "Ab olition " party, in the Confederate States., And they. will be a working- party, 'and .a' . voting party.

The following para graphs indicate the devotional spirit which animates many who are connected with the meeting : " We have now entered on the thirteenth year of this meeting. Many of the found ers and helpers of this institution have gone where assemblies never break up, and meetings for prayer and praise never end. " During these twelve years three hun. dred prayer-meetings have been held every year, making three thousand six hundred .in all. , What a volume of incense his ascended to. God from this chapel ! This incense is the prayer of the saints. " On entering upon this, new year of our, existence, what are our purposes ? Po we count that , we have , already attained, or are already perfect Let not thirtk more highly, of *ourselves than one ought to think; Jet us not think that we are some thing when ,iye are nothing. let As, forget the things ;that are behind, and reach 'forth to those that are before,, press on toward the Mark for ,the,, prize of high calling in Christ. Jesus our'.Lord." • • A 'CORRESPONDENT• :of the .Congrega tionalist thus 'speaks of 'the Home Evan gelization' work Connecticut, and of its fraternizing influence upon the, churches': 4 4 The work of arousing the local church ,es to engage in Missionary labors in the districts they occupy ; has recently , received a new impulse,in Connecticut. At the last ,General Association . .a resolution, was passed Tecoturnending the, holding- of Conference's of churches in each distriet occupied• by a Consociation, fez the? sole : purpose, Df con ; sultation and, prayer on this subject. Thii - recommendation has, been :universally coin plied : with: : The meetings have been .well attended ; :and some of them. -have been -marked,rin a peculiar. degree, by the pres ence of the. Spirit of God— A , . deep sol. .einnity and earnestness, have appeared ; and the question, • Lord,-,what wilt othou have me to do r has :been, anxiously asked., ,An interesting feature < of. these meetings .that they bring, together the pastors and ,delegates. of. the consociated: and unconso ,ciated churches. !The:objections to consocia-' denim, have, from its inauguration, been so strongly ! felkby some .of the largest 'church es in the State, that there has .hitherto been no ,formal fellowship, ~ t hough a very. kind ,fraternal feeling - has always prevailed. These conferences, without' disturbing, the, presentl.ecelesiutieaLsyistem the: least, furnish all the 'Congregational: churches of, the State. ian 'opportunity- ot meeting to:, gather : to --consult on matter's "0, common Concern.

SurelY this ought not so to be. The reported membership of a church ought to 'be- regarded is a correct index of its 'actual strength. We do not see bow this `can be,' 'excePt our associations adopt the rule of entering upon the minutes the num ber .of resident members, as well as, the total membership.
