The popular use of the term Sectarian, is quite as vague and erroneous us any iV the expressions that compose the vocabu lary of religious cant. Although rejected by some high authorities iti matters of lan guage, yet in these days, it is much in ta vour, and much in fashion. As conven ience requires, it describes either a person, ora quality : and is used, universally, in a j bad sense. It is a term of reproach, if this epithet be attached to a man, he thence forth wanders about like Cain, bearing his mark in his forehead. Pronounce any thing, no matter w hat, to be Sectarian, and it becomes at onco an object of suspicion, if not of reprobation. This course is sanc tioned by some, who in the language of Doc tor are “fierce for modera tion. feel or a tied uncommon li- a See-. s^glnWleraff o PI I tj| |§gfD\’ ■dim.’ | P'ff or no SHkJ :i ’ “ 1 ’ ar** ‘■ : . ■ 1 Hey Hi 1. ys-’Ji ‘TE ‘ > ‘■ BRii'.v. :■ feajßjjsA3ffi|M th-v <-'idd -m.- on . m. w i b ■ ■HH|HYa rtia 1 i:id . .

A > tlie word in question currccy of the country, I shall thing hut its misapplication. And I con tend that its popular acceptation is errrone ous; because, either it should he regarded as a term of distinction without inferring a nv censure whatever or, ifit must be con sidered as reproachful in its meaning, its application in the instance just mentioned, and in a great many others; is entirely un just. The word Sect denotes a number of per sons associated as the followers of some master, or in the belief of some common; doctrines. In this sense it is applied to the ancient philosophers. Socrates,and Plato, and Aristotle, and Zeno, had their follow ers. When we read, for example, of the : Academic, or Peripatetic, or Stoic, Eclec-; tic Sect, it never occurs to us. that any cen sure is intended to be conveyed. The establishment of Christianity’ was the establishment of certain opinions, and forms, and rites. The magnificient appel lation of the church, was assumed and ap propriated: and those whose consciences compelled them to dissent, became victims of persecution, or lived by mere connivance. Toleration is comparatively a modern in vention. And even now, in the geography of Christendom, there are regions where it is scarcely known. Among Protestants,in the present day, that which in one country is the church, in another is a sect, and vice versa. Where an established church is basking in the sunshine of political favour, •it is next to impossible that dissent from it should not lie regarded as a ground of re proach, and that the terms sect, and sectary, &c. should not be employed in an unfavor able sense. And yet the mere establish ment, for political purposes, of a specific mode of faith and form of worship, does not demonstrate it to be more true or profi table than another; much less does it prove it to be the only mode or form in which Christianity can subsist. If men should keep aloof from the means and influences of religion, because they arc employed by different and discordant sects; if this fact be and objection against Chris tianity, in its only visible and tangible forms, and in its only modes of application to the human heart and human life, then the al ternative of truth and duty, is down right infidelity. The rock on which itself is to be dissolved, and Christianity abolished.— It is in vain to say that an individual may still derive his sentiments from the llihle, and regulate his practice by its precepts. — lfthis be the duty of one, for the same rea son it may he the duty of another, and of every other. And then, the church, as a visible society is swept away. And then, in a few generations, Christianity would be lost; its form having vanished, its spirit would lake its flight. It is well if indiiler iefieeto a result so appallin';, drxjs not min gle unperceived, with a disposition to erv down all peculiarities of religious faith atul practice. From the Cross anil Baptist Journal. Addresses ou Foreign Missions, Delivered before the Western Baptist Con vention, at Cincinnati, Thursday even ing, Nov. ~ith, 1833. —Reported by J. M. Peck.

Now a bout thirty Americans, male and fe'in.de, are laboring in this region. They are at Rangoon, Maulmcin, Tavoy, Chumincrah, Ava, Merglii, and Arracun. It is the de sire of the Board to give all the facts ol their labors to thu churches in the West, an 1 for that purpose have ordered a re pubiicaliou of the last report, which wid be readv to circulate in a lew days. To this will he appended some very important particulars, received from recent comipu cations. At all the stations, the missionaries labor with great encouragement. The number of their comforts increases. In the Karen he ‘ L Tii i, • ;.u ii'ii.tr'. dHlHP^ffrijnniialis, culiar people. They are in a singular state of preparation for the Gospel. Tilpy are a people without idols—sup pose they once had the Word of God and have lost it —arc now subject to the devil and worship evil spirits, under the name of, Nats. They pray to the Nats, because they are under the hands of these imagina ry evil Spirits,and entreat them to “Be ! as kind, and harm them as little as they can.” Tnc Karens ask for hooks—for tho Scriptures in their own language. They j weep, when told it will take some years to j | translate and print the whole Word of God j jin their own language. One of the con- | | verted Karens recently went hack of Ran- j | goon, with one or two converts, instructed j ! ibe people, and read small portions of Scripture in their own language, and more than one hundred professed to he converted under these feeble ministrations and are waiting for baptism. About thirty of them had been baptized by brother Webb, at the date of the last letters. The church in Rangoon has about eigh ty or ninety members. At Chummerah, 1 up the Salwen river, the Karens are equal-'j ly numerous. Here are Mr. and Mrs. Y in- j ton. Tavoy is a Burman city, but surrounded bv Karens. Here the devoted Mason labors —here is a church of more than one hun dred converted Karens. Mr. and Mrs. Wade is now united with Mr. Mason. A written language has been prepared in which they will soon translate and print the Now Testament. A press and printer j have been ordered to this station to print ■ for the Karens. Ava is the seat of the royal government. | Hoie is brother Kincaid with truly an apos tolic spirit. He has been repeatedly dial- ! langcd by the government, —charged and | WASIIIASxTOIY, (Cla.)

You may cut off my arm on the block, but I cannot go away — cannot cease giving hooks.” He has since learned that these public officers were in a measure compelled by the idolatrous priests to frown upon him, fer all Burmah seemed agitated by the circulation of the Scriptures and tracts. A spirit of inquiry was every where awakened—the priests became al armed for their religion. The missiona ries do not labor in vain. More than 30,- 000 tracts were distributed last year in Rangoon. Tens of thousands are scatter ed amongst the population along the bor ders ot the rivers.—Tracts, single epistles, and other portions of Scriptures with the whole New Testament. Four Presses are in operation, and by the last ship a power Press, equal in execution to four more, has gone out with the last ship. The whole will perform labor equal to eight common presses. Four printers are already there, and one more recently gone out. Twen ty-live hundred reams ol paper with other materials in the printing department have gone in tlie same ship. Siam is a very interesting station where Mr. and Mrs. Jones, ami Mr. Dean are now ■ laboring. Mr. Jones is devoted to the .Si- i amese, and has prepared and printed a por tion of Scripture and a tract. Mr. Dean is study ing the Chinese language. A Chinese convert actively labors, and by reading and explaining Scripture to o thers, some have been converted and a lit tle Chinese Baptist church formed. These missionaries and their wives now on tlieo ceun, are destined to this point to be come prepared to enter China. One will he devoted to printing in Siamese and Chi neses. Founts of type were ordered to he prepared in those languages many months since. lit tlie last ship, that sailed in Septem ber, which is now upon the ocean, and for which wTearnestly solicit your players, Amw-.n wel!t mlt under the direction of our Board; —and in the same ship Mr. Sutton and his company ofllUssioiiarios, destined fm- Orissa., /nuk ing in all twenty -one. A larger number of ordained missionaries went out in that ship than ever before sailed from an American port.

The Board have heard the cry, and have sent two men and their wives to lift the lamp of life in that land of darkness and the shadow of death. Perhaps you may imagine the world sup plied. —But on the morning hut an hour before the missionaries sailed, a ship arriv ed at Boston from Calcutta, with letters from brethren there, with the copy of a let ter from a British officer in the interior of Hindooston, and bordering upon Burmah, on the one side and China on the other. This gentleman states, that the people in ! his district amount to 15 or 20 millions.— | That their language is the dialect of the | Burman. That a missionary who knows J the Burman language, in six months may speak correctly in that of the Shuns, the ! people alluded to. That if the tnissiona- j j t ies in Burmah will establish a mission a -1 mongst the Shuns in his district he will con ■ tribute one thousand rupees, {five hundred dollars) —and that if they will establish a press and commence printing the Scrip tures, tracts and books he will give one thousand rupees more. The letter from this gentleman was also sent to our brethren in Burmah, and it is hoped ere this, they have sent one of their number to this coun try, and who knows, but that from this point ! tlie Gospel will find direct access into the I heart of China? Judge then whether we j need help—whether we are heating the air, I when a distinguished civilian, on behalf of the people of which lie is governor, calls thus for help! The Convention at the meeting in Rich mond last spring said to the Board “length- : un your cords;” and the Board has done it. Since May 28 persons have been sent out to foreign lands. j Africa—ill fated Africa has received at tention. A company of missionaries sailed ! in July for that region, who have safely <>r | rived. Many missionaries have died there, | Imt others have come forward to fill tlie | ranks. One of the brethren writes from | Monrovia, “The graves of 21 missionaries [just out of town admonish us of the tenor of our lives.” Here is an immense field white lor the harvest, and the missionaries there ask your prayers. Oil pray that they may he spared to enlighten Africa. From France the Board has received very interesting communications. Mr. and Mrs. YV ilmai th are there, and though fee ble in health, have labored with success. Professor Sears, who has spent two years in I rauce and Germany, has just returned and furnished the Board with very interest ing information. He visited many parts ol trance. Amidst popery and infidelity, he foflKntfffl groups of Baptist believers? ■ not formed inti regular churches, lor they i had no public'■administrators to organize ■ them—bu; accustomed to meet for devo ■ tionul exercises, with one of their number , *<’ preside. Formerly, under tlie laws of . the Bourbon dynasty, not more than twon : ly persons were allowed to assemble atone • place. And the custom was for one to i leave tlie meeting if another entered, that . they might not become obnoxious to the i law. Tiny served God with fear and , trembling. Now they enjoy religious free dom. It is expected these little hands of ■ believers are formed into churches, and probably an association is organized. \\ r lien our brethren who visited them were about to leave, these humble Christians fell upon their necks and wept profusely as j did the disciples at Ephesus upon tlie neck of Paid. in Germany we have a valuable mission ary in tli • person of Mr. Oncken. Some have received the impression, that the Board has not paid sufficient attention to the Indians of our own country. But we are doing all that is practicable for them. \\ u have eight or ten stations in as many tribes—actress and a printer west of Mis souri, who has reduced their lauiuage to writing and print; 80 or 80 Indian chur ches exist, oiioof which contains more than two liumJnd members. In many places the Indians are surrounded with tlie worst | influences, hut God is at work aniontrst J them.

Our readers must seek occasion to hear him for themselves.— Rep. Mr. 11. remarked, there was consecration holy, Christian consecration to Cod. — Christianity furnishes a breastplate to de fend us, —a shield to guard as, but we still are in danger from the love of the world.

This is the estimate by many geographers of the population of the globe. Observing men have made the estimate. How many of these are in anv measure enlightened with the gospel 1 Shall we say, (which is a very large esti mate.) in round numbers, four hundred millions! Then GOO millions rumaiu in gross darkness. The trend cannot grasp the idea. The United States have onlv thirteen or fourteen millions. .Six hundred millions yet to he enlightened ! VVe want some way to compare such great numbers - The mind does not readily take in tlie a mount. Let us suppose their names nil written down—that a person could write j five every minute—for twelve hours in a day—and six days in a week, how leg would it take to register them ? • YV-’Uld it take six months? a year? tlirceyears? ten j years?

Sup pose we double it—treble it—say ten mill ions on earth. Takeall Protestant denom inations, and examine them for proofs of God’s Grace on the heart. Then suppose every one a Missionary or a Minister, com missioned from on high, and the church, to preach the Gospel to the rest. Each then would have one thousand in his con gregation, and not one to pray amongst them ! The world lias to be enlightened through the instrumentality of the church. First, by prayer, fervent believing prayer ifi the Iloly Ghost. The Spirit of God must commence—^continue—wand consummate the great work. And why should we des pond; and wliut need of fear ifGod is with us. “Lo I ath with you, always to the end ol the world,” is the promise of Christ to his disciples. But prayer will not answer alone. Some have lost the blessing be cause they prayed, and did not work. The prayers and alms of Cornel ins came up as a memorial belore God, Not his pravers alone, hut his prayers and alms. O, think ol the love of God—the fullness of his grace—the strength of his arm—his al mighty power. Think upon the vow's you have made. You will not labor in vain. Multitudes have been convert) f[nlruad v. Look hack and see w Imt God has wrought in our churches since the foreign missiona ry effort commenced. Have we diminish ed in numbers asn denomination?

Let us have a little Bible arithmetic. “Give and it shall be given to you—pressed down —good measure—running ovep,” an “hun dred fold” will God give “into your bo soms.” This is the arithmetic of Jesus Christ. Since the commencement of our missionary operations, the denomination lias given mote than a million’of dollars ibr benevolent purposes,and has increased m numbers, strength and influence mure than three to one, and are nine times as able to go on.

The speaker said, with great solemnity and feeling* lie would go himself of he were young—-Jatt he was too old to learn a heathen laigu'ige, and be eon qualified Tor ’ iftCloL-'oy, in < ■! M>on he there. Aow J"’ church is called to put ou tii<7 ..'in to, logo lorih into tho field o: conflict. J ,iy win gam the victory, the church inim encompass the earth. Christians nms: think ot the world —ol the earth which is full of the liauilalious of cruelty, and they must learn to weep over the miseries of our lalleti nature. The church must employ its influence by its eminent holiness, connected with liberal contributions. How can Christians live in America, while tho world is in sin? Remember how we come by the Bible and tho Gospel. It was amidst dangers and perils, and their influence is felt to he necessary to preserve society in order. — An lulidel in llomer, N. V. once remarked to the speaker, that lies hud changed his views—that we could have no society with out a preached Gospel, and he had come to the determination, to support the Gospel, for the sake of society. The speaker re marked as matter of history, that two or three oftlie first efforts to translate and print the English Bible failed, because the priests were opposed to its circulation.— But the Bible finally prevailed, and spread through the laud. It is not many centu ries since Idol temples existed in England. What destroyed them? The missionaries of the cross entered the country, i’aul or his coadjutors brought the Gospel there. Foreign missions are not against Home Missions. The te/mle. world must receive the Gospel —all nations must have it by missionary efforts. These had been his feelings for -10 years, since he had a hope in Christ. It is the love of God to man. “ a °d so loved the world that w hosoeverl'Ciieved on him should not perish but feve everlasting life.” O, that we had “' ie same mind.

[l)r. Noki.’b Address.] Dr. N. observed that he felt very confi dent he wax about to address many if not all the Christian friends present for the last Vol. 3. IVo. 40. time. He \trtis gratified at the opportunity to speak on so interesting and important a topic. It involved the highest principles of Christian duty—love to God, and love to man.—And lie felt gratified to let so large a nuyber ol the ministers of Christ know that\e was with them—always had been with them—6ver had felt deeply - on the subject ever since his name was enroled ns a member ol the church of Jesus Christ.— He could only add a remark or two, but wished to show the Convention tlie direct connection between the religion of Jesus Christ and Foreign Missions. The religion of Christ begins nt home— in the soul— 9 nil there extends to all around in feelings, affection and desire. A sinner is first concerned about himself, when he is converted and gets an assurance of hope, he is concerned for his family, relatives, friends, neighbors, the people of fiis own country — and the whole world. And the reason is, the principle of Christianity is pure benevolence. Holiness is the pro duction of God in regeneration—it is the principle of holy love—real virtue— true Christianity. “Talk then of morals; O. thou bleeding Love! “The grand morality i.- love oft bee.” I he loved Jesus lias its gradations.— It is like Jacob’s ladder. It goes up step by step. 1 lus is the pilgrimage of the saint through this valool sorrow, lie had no hope ol perseverance where there was not this holy love. It there be no concern for those around 11s, there is none !<>r others more distant.— Ihe religion ol Christ is expensive. It comptcheiwfs the world. L.

There is an awful responsibility under which wo should all feel in view of the con dition of she heathen, and the claims of God upon us. YY'c should look beyond the grave for the result of this responsibili ty. It lies upon the Christian. The Spir it ol the living God resides in his soul.— And there is the crown—the starry crown. —And Christians, so to speak, will he gems in the Redeemers crown, and there gems will differ in brightness. For this we should strive. Sinners are converted through instru mentalities, and not a member of thechurch hut what is responsible for these instru mentalities. There is room to work, and a call for work, not only abroad hut at home —in Christian lands—in our own conntry Jesus Christ is now recruiting sol diers for the,great battle. And where is the battle ground. It is in China, in Burmah in Hindustan. In every part oftlie world where sin reigns there is the battle ground —and we are the soldiers engaged to light this battle, under Jesus the captain of our salvation. WIIO will hold hack. These considerations should arouse us to the field. We should cast our eyes over the earth, and see where our efforts were needed.— TYiere is work every where. [Many other excellent ‘and pointed ex hortations were delivered with great force !of thought and fervency of expression, of which only the substance is given.] Rev. Dr. Holies arose alter Dr. Noel, to answer the enquiry, which some might make, whether the same spirit to carry the blessing to others ns the fruit, of relig ion in the.,son t. described by the preceding speaker, was manifested in the converts in Burmah. Ile was happy to observe it was in a very high degree. An instance was given of the Karen, who visited this coun try in 1833, with Mr. Wade. While pas sing through the United States, Christian brethren Itad frequently given him little presents of money, intended for his own I private use. The latter period of the time j he had tarried in the family of’the speaker. As I)r. B. was going to the mission !
