Among' the ' 44 'Seleof Remains" of the,
Rev. John 3310Wn, Haddingtoii, there is

in the family.
The title of the Essay is, "Divine War-
rants, Advantages, Ends, and Rulea
lowship-Meetings." After observing that ,
a fell'ovvid4oneetingia a TegUltir Society of:
Christiane who .have veluntaril i agreed to: •
assemble at stated 4meseriir,places flit' the
promoting Of ,holy friendehii by joint,
prayer and spiritual conference, the author„
proceeds to 'give' the Divine Warrant for
such meetings. The , first Divine Warrant
is drawn from such. Scriptures as speak of •
Christians as felloW•citizens, fellow heirs,'
fellOw;sOldiers - ' ' and Artembers of the same
household or familY. Thus related, they
shouhLdivell together in sweet concord.
They have common interests, common
wanta),eoimon enemies, and should there.
fore asaeolate to eneourage,eomfort, emin
sel and etrengtheri. each other. The second ) ,
from snob. passagettof Scripture as Malachi
Then they that feared the
Lord spike often one to another; and the
Lord hearkened and , heard it; and a hook
of remembrance was written before hiin,
for them that feared the Lord, and thought
upon his ninitr'' And'illey shall be mine,

The third, from such passagesias'exhort •
Christians to teach and admonish• one an
'otherrto' tithe& oneanother, , brat any be
hardened; • to , provoke •one -another to - lovel
arid to 00 works; `to bear one anether's
bikrdens.; to strenthen the:feeble, &c.
The important ends which • Christians
should.havein view in forming •such , Soci-`
eties, are `to ',increase among tbemselves
the knewledge of the truths,, ordinances,
and worship ,of God; to express and . exer
cise mutual sympathy among the members ;'
to help one another forward in theiTtath of.
holinessT to' `use their various' tifte and
graoes t6theirlaUthal edificatiOn, &o.
In forming Such societies,: every one
should airetioleltat the 'glory of God and
the spiritual advantage of himself and his'
brethren. None should be admitted. but
such as are soundiri the faith, anent.° en
deavoring ,to lead a holy life. All the
members should behave in an humble :and `
affectionate manner towardeeach other, in
their meetings and elsewliiire : ': 'No . cdrions
and captious question, ' to debate
or strife, ought ever to be proposed as a
subject of conversation. "...No m ember unght
to be upbraided for his weak, Lot 'even pis=
taken expressions in prairer,'cir
to any question. (Reader take notice—a .
Christian may •have'mistilen opinitins in
relation to many questions, and, yet 'be
sound in the faith:)'' • Nonmember ought to
affect a tedious length in prayer.
The advantages , of such meetings are :`
religions intimacies are preservatives against,
infection !remit, world which lies in wick
edness; noligione fellowship' secures all
the advantages Which' we can propose to
ourselves h` 'ins kind of intlinaliiek,suoh
as friendly Counsel,, sympathy, 'assistanc e
or comfort." •• (If this religious fellowship -
exists in some good degree of-perfection,
the rulers of ftfe'Chtireli need not disquiet'
themselves itbiint,"segret seeietiei." There ,
will be no dispoSition on the' part of:Chris

Among' the: rules adopted bT some such , '

success of- the Gospel. And, indeed—wi3

Say that if some--mit, all—of the features
of' the former. times were. grafted on our
modern " developments," it would be a
desirable consumthation.
It may. be added that the writer. was
present at one. r two such meetings in the
southern part of Illinois, a year or two ago.
They were held on the' afternoon of Sulu
day. In at least one family he had an op

THE BISHOP OP Bircrzn now very old
has beep. lately,,niddressing his clergy, and
iu reference to.,Bishop Colenso he said
"From emery considerable body of you
have received an address upon a matter of
deep regret - to the °hutch and 'affliction to
all of us. I. mean that which is 'said to
'have been , the unhappy work put -forth by
ft Bishop of our Church. I say it is said
to*have - been, so put forth, ,because I, in my,
'old age,have 'not read the book which has
occasioned so 'much alarm. I, therefore,
cannot speak of. .the' real contents of the
book, but I conclude that deep =indeed has
been, the mischief' which 'lsis turned the
very botfom 'of the -heart of the Church.
Still I =may 'venture to :say that. I do not
altogether partake 'of the alarm which has
begin expressed. It has happened, it should
seem, that a work has been put forth by a
.Bishop , of, our, Church; which has occa
,sioned., astenildmient and consternation.
Be it So. It is not, unfu4Pily, the. first
time that a BiShOp'eVen ofour\Oltnrch has
. pnt - fo - tir - tßigs'irainful to the flock of
Christ": l sNot'very long ago-Ll'mein in• the
course of 'the century, Which'in the
history of the Church is not very long
ago—a Bishop of Ireland put forth a
work distinctly denying the atonement of
our blessed Lord. What happened ? Great,
undoubtedly, was the scandal he gave,
and the necessary steps were taken to do
'justice to the Church, and to expel from
its bosom so dangerous a minister. That
unhappy man, when he found that he was
likely to be expelled, ignominiously from
the Church by regular process of the
Chuich law, Tell sick and died. Novi, I
mention this not as a solitary instance in
the Church's history, There have been
several in olden times-74 will not speak of
onr, own ,Churoh*only, but in the Catholic
Church. There have been Bi'shops cast
off by the Church, and was a 'subject of
doubtless deep lamentation' to the Church
at that time; as the present may be for
aught I knew—and permit me to say that
not, having examined the book I will not
condimn—but the present, I am afraid, will
be o£' an equally' deep cane of pain to all
of ~1 3tittlet ins --have :conlidende Tithe

;helms been ,pleased to guard ,utir Church
from the frequency of such itistanene; and
however bad it may be now, let us be thank
ful that has' called forth's° strong a feel

by, his help to be faithful, I hope, in the
ministration to, , which' he has called us,
Vei"thia bdtlielesson which we learn from
it- =thie ditty of thankfulness to God." -
In the diocese: of= the Bishop. is a large
body of inefficient clergy—High.Church in
their erepathies„ and very few of them

hee - used to light at night; in order torstidy
th'e law ; a cock,.which served him inttead
of a watch, to announce to him..the rising
dawn; and an ass, on which he rode ; ,
The sun was gradually sinkinc , beneith

and the rider Wanderer kne* trhei6 to

glad to find it inhabited, thinking Waere
human beings' dwelt, there dwelt also ha

'taken: He asked for a tithes - lodging ;• it
w refused. Not one of the i.nhospitable
inhabitants would aceo,l3llll.odate him; he
was, therefore, obliged to seek shelter in a
,neighboring wood.
"Ills hard; very' hard," said he, "noeto
find whospitable roof to protect wt:against
the inclemency of the weather ;.but God is
just, and whatever he does is for the best."
He seated himself .beneath a tree, lighted
his lamp and began , to read the He
had scarcely read a chapter, When a violent
storm extinguished his light..
"What!" exclaimed he, "ninste•l not 'be
permitted even to pursue mylavorite study?
rl3 ir God is jnst,.and vrhatever he does is
for the best." ,
He stre.ehed himelt—oe.thilt.b4e
ff passible, fo"hiire a 'hour,?
sleep.- He had hatdly closed eyes;
when a fierce waif-came and killed the
cook. , , *./
" What new misfortune is this?" ejecta

But God is just; he knows best. whit is
good for us poor mortals." , f
Scarcely had he ,finished the sentence,
when a terrible lion came and devehred 'the
ass.
" What is to be done now ?" exclaimed
the lonely wanderer. "My lamp ,and my
cock are gone . ; my poor ass,too, is gone—
all is gone I Bat, praised
,be the Ford,

• He passed a sleepless night, and early in
the morning went to the village to see
whether he could procure .a horse,. or any
beast of burden, to enable him . to pursue
his journey; but what was his surprise not
to find a single person elite !
It appears that a band-of robbere had.en
tered the village daring the night, mar
xlered the inhabitants, and plundered their
houses. gAs solid , as Alcibre hitt sufficiently
recovered from the amazement into, which
this wonderful oec'arrenoehad throVin him,
he" lifted up his voice, and exclaimed
• " Thou great God, the - God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob, now .I know by i.experi

and blind,:often considering as evil what is
intended' for their preservation. Bat thoa
alone art just, and kind, and merciful.
Had not hard.hearted people driven me, by
their inhospitality, from the village, I
should assuredly have. Shared their fate.
Had not the wind e l itinguished my lamp,
the robbers would have been drawn to the
spot and have murdered men. I perceive,
also, that it was thy mercy which deprived
me of my two companions, that.they might
not, by their noise,give notice to.the,ban
ditti, and tell them where I was taking , my
rest. Praised be thy name forever and
