/ LOSS BV fire:
/‘I have jusl returned to this place from
/long tour on my extensive field, and find
/hat during my absence, my house with
/every article ofhouseholdfurniture,clothes,
books, papers and every thing else which I
left in it was consumed by fire. My friends
and brethren in the neighborhood have been
very kind in aiding me to commence house
keeping again and, through mercy, I have
not been prevented from meeting any of
<ny appointments. My arrangements for
preaching will remain undisturbed.”
TflE LABORS OF A PIONEER.
••While absent front home on my recent
tour, 1 rode about 300 miles, visited more
than 50 families and preached as 1 went. —
The stations for preaching arc distant from
each other, and 1 frequently have to ride
30 or 40 miles from one to the other, which
in this new territory, is tedious woik. Blit
1 succeeded in finding and collecting to
gether in different neighborhoods, eighty
one] communicants of our denomination,
and have baptized two persons. 1 have
not yet thought it expedient to organize
churches, but have formed the brethren in
to six bands, which 1 shall visit as often us
my other duties will allow, and when we
obtain more ministerial aid, (which 1 have
promise of from some two or three breth
ren) we shall hope to lay the foundation o!
some good churches.”
THE WORD JOYFULLY RECEIVED.
••The people receive me joyfully and
manifest great friendship and gratitude. —
Many of them come to the night meetings,
a distance of five and six miles, on fool ;
and so desirous are they to enjoy the public
worship of God, that they have promised
to build 8 or 10 meeting houses in as many
different settlements as soon as they have
gathered their crops. O that the Lord
would accompany all this effort with Iris
blessing and revive his work among them.”
HARD TIMES.
“But really my heart is pained to wit
ness the trials of the people who have late
ly moved into the territory, owing to the
distressing drought. Some on whom 1
have called had but little food for themselves,
much less for me or my horse, llut recent
rains revive our hopes.
Dear Brother Hill, vve arc literally a poor
and war-worn people. I beg you never to
forget it, or to cease praying for us.”
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Correspondents are respectfully informed
that owing to the necessary absence of the
Secretary for several weeks past, many let
(cis requiring his particular attention have
remained unanswered. Having now re
turned, they will receive that attention as
soon as possible,

JJrothcr linker —lVc had on the 4th inst.
a most pleasing and interesting celebration
of our national Independence, by the vari
ous Sabbath Schools of this city and adja
cent villages of Wynton and Girard, which
must have carried to the head of every Chris
tian present, cheering evidence of the pros
perity of this department of Christian use
fulness and labors.
At an early hour (8 o’clock) the various
Schools referred to, formed in procession at
the Presbyterian church, numbering from
five to six hundred children, which moved
thence into Crawford to Broad, up Broad
to Randolph sts., and thence to the Baptist
church, into which they were conducted
and seated with the most perfect good or
der and quietness. The services wore then
opened by the singing of an appropriate
Hymn by the children, accompanied hv a
few of the teachers. ’Twas a lovely scene;
so many young and innocent faces bright
with present happiucss and joyous hope
for the future, attuning their youthful voices
to the piaise of their Heavenly Father.—
None witnessed it with other than pleasing
emotions ; none heard their uotes of praise
blit with feelings of delight. To the Chris
tian heart it could not but carry the gratify
ing reflection that the religious instruction
and culture of the rising generation was not
entirely neglected. This Hymn was fol
lowed by various other interesting set vices
and an appropriate address, after which,
the children were conducted from thechurcli
to their respective rooms, where, we be
lieve, all found a collation prepared for the
occasion. Every tiling passed off with the ;
utmost harmony and good feeling; nothing
occurring to mar the happiness for a mo
ment, of the children or their teachers.—
‘Twas indeed a proud day for those who
are engaged m this holy and good work.—
God has been pleased to bless this effort a
mong us and to set bis seal upon it for
good.
I have invited your attention to ibis cel
ebration for the purpose of endeavoring to
bring the subject of Sabbath Schools before
the attention of our denomination, to induce
them, if possible, to awake from llicir stu
por, their comparative iudiileicnee to this
subject. It is one of vast importance, and
anj- one, who will lor a few moments re
flect upon it, will be prepared to admit it,
yet where the necessity of ah admission of
the fact, unless vve reduce it to practice
It becomes every Christian, t/oung and old,
to inquire, Lord what will thou have me
do? and whatsoever their hands find to do,
let them do it with all llicir might and
strength. It is the duty of all to enforce,
as far as they can, the doctrines of the Bi
ble. Where can we find so favorable a
spot to implant the principles of our bless
ed Lord and Saviour's gospel, as in the
young and guileless heart, which is ever
sady to receive the first impressions made.
1 then the’ voiing heart is as wax before the
fi*e, in die hands of the experienced, how
ifniorfant that it should be moulded to the
cufi-atiou of a high regard tor the precepts
of th. Bible ? And, you may rely upon it, j
(hat if this moral cultutc is not going on,
the enemy of souls is vitiating, as fast as i
possible, the taste of the child for such t
things, and placing his heart and affections
in such a shape that when the boy has i j
grown up to manhood, you look'to.him as
the prop of your declining years, that the 1
plant you have rear’d shall bring forth fruit, :
but alas ! it is but bitterness. Disappoint- i
ed the parent sinks into his grave, regret- \
ing that lie neglcctd the moral culture of ,
his child at an early age. Ilow often has
the writer heard parents warn their children j
to act propcily, and say that the country >
was dependent on the rising generation for
its rulers, and its laws. Such is die fact;
hut these very persons frequently neglect
to use the means to prepare their children
for these coming responsibilities. Is not
such conduct inexcusable, especially in one
who professes to be a follower of the meek
and lowly Jesus? It is no less strange than
I true, that in many cities and villages where
schools are established, even members of
the church fail to send their children. What
their reasoning with themselves may be, 1
cannot say,bull awfully fear many of them
will find it a thorn in their dying pillows,
especially if their children should go into
dissipation (as may be reasonably expected
| under such Tuition,) and end their day by
a violent death.
And again, vve hear from all quarters the
cry of the demoralising influence spreading
itself abroad over ourland. Immorality has
raised its head and stalks abroad in our high
places. Where vve should expect to find pa
triotism, vve see but the political tool. Who
is to slop this wide spread and desolating in
fluence ! How is it to be counteracted? ’Tis
by teaching diligently and impressing ear
nestly the youth of the land with the great
moral precepts of the Bible. And unless,
this is done, the contrary result will follow
as a matter of necessity. I then call irpon
all Christians to awake to the importance of
this subject. I call upon them, in the name
of our blessed Saviour, in the name of mor
ality and of patriotism, to arise in their
moral strength, and let that strength be felt.
Let us then give the Bible to our children
as their daily study, and with the blessing
of God, which is promised us, we will rear
up a geneiation of moral, virtuous and reli
gious men and women, who will perpetu
ate, unimpaired, our religion, and the no
ble institutions of our fair republic to gen
erations yet unborn.

The Temperance Pledge.
The evil arising from the use of ardent
spirits lias claimed the attention of Chris
tians for many years, which lias caused
many plans for its abolition, lo rise ami
fall. The present one seems to have in it
the most wisdom; and has more advocates
than any of the precceding. And though
it appears to have the sanction of the Cre
ator of the universe; the example of his
Son our Saviour; the prayers, sormons and
lectures of humheds of pious ministers,
the prayers and influence of thousands of
humble and devoted chrislians in the laity;
though it is watered with the tears of a
host of mothers in Israel; and is elevated
on the banner of the philanthropist; its
course is impeded by some who are the
professed followers of live Saviour. Os
such vve would ask a candid considera
non of the following and the passages eon
nec‘ed. Tim Church of Christ is a socie
ty which requires of us more temperance
than any other body beneath the sun; and
vve as members of that body arc command
ed to shun the appearance of evil; and to
walk circumspectly, and also to walk ivor
thy of the vocation wherewith we are called.
I)o vve fulfil this when vve forget our duty
and pour down the intoxicating fluid which
so defiles us, that we ate incapable of ful
filling the command to “ offer up our bodies
a livingsacrificc wholly acceptable to God,”
&c? Can we ofler them under this agent of
Satan? Or can vve expect our devotions to
be accepted when they proceed from such
a polluted body? I am persuaded not, for
God has said he “ will not look upon sin
with the least allowance.”
Again, you arc told tTuit “ye are the
liillit of the world.” IV hat kind of light:
shines from that brother when he is stir-;
1 rounded with a number of unbelievers,
! with the jovial bowl to his lips in the Tip- j
! ling shops or more properly the Doggery? j
Is this the light which exhibits good j
works, and constrains the world to believe I
that we have been with God? surely not? i
but our light so shines and our acts exert j
such an influence that the odious epithet;
of drunken Baptist is cast upon us to the j
mortification of the innocent part of the ;
church.
IV hat kind of fruit should a Christian ■■
bear? Tlia divine word says “good.” Can
that brother whose brain is influenced by I
this intoxicating fluid, bear fruit to the hon
or and glory of God? Certainly not! For
his thoughts are eontraiy lothe pure spirit,;
and he is sowing evil seed, and will reap 1
the reward of his labor.
IVhen taking the intoxicating draught,
vve certainly do not comply with the righ
teous will of God: for lie wills that vve
should “ cease to do evil and learn to do
well,” and can vve expect him to bless ns,
or even ask him for his blessings after vve
have done this to displease him? No! but
vve must do his will for he says “ eve
ry one that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall
enter'into the Kingdom ot Heaven; but lie
that doetlf the will of my Father which is in
heaven.” Again, do you believe that you
are acting righteously when you are drink
ing this fluid? If you do, examine your
bible and enquire of it what righteousness
is: and then read “ If it is with difficulty j
the righteous are saved, where will the un-}
godly and sinner appear? Therefore do :
not remain in the dark at the expense of
your salvation. What do you expect to
accomplish by your opposition to men for
saking their evil practices? Do you expect
to make them any better by remaining in
the downward road to ruin? Do you ex
pect to advance the cause of religion by
persuading them by word and deed to take
that which when they are as harmless as
doves will render them us satanic as ad
ders? l)o you expect with your opposition
that your Lord when he calls you from
earth, will say well done thou good and faith
ful servant? Can you then tell him that you
have done all in your power to advance his
eanso and Kingdom lieie on earth? If you
cannot tell him this, do nut be compelled to
tell him that you sanctioned the ways of
evil men and worked for their destruction.
But cease your opposition, put on the
shield and enter in with the friends of this
great cause, and endeavor to extirpate the
monster horn the land, and when it is ac
complished the world will cease to powv
the linger of scorn at the church-member,
the church-book will not be crowded with
the records of drunken Baptists: religion
will be more ptosperous; virtue and moral
ity will be die guardian principles of the
rising generation: and much good will re
sult to us as a nation.
PIIILOS.
P. S, —1 neglected to tell you that the
cause seems to be prospering in a part of
the licphztbah Association, in three socie
ties recently established, there are, 1
pose, over two hundred members, and oih
ers are expected to unite soon. Excuse
me for annoying you with such scribbling!
IVc hope for the honor of the cause <J|
Christ that there are no Baptist ChurchcfJj
in the region in which Philos lives, that will
retain in fellowship any one who will ptirfj
sue such a course as is calculated even tlj
render him suspected of having bccinj
drunk! ! God will not wink at the conduqr
of the Church that winks at the condvW
of the drunkard. They must reform, efr;
have their candlestick removed out of it ■
place. IVe shall ever be pleased to hear I
from Philos on temperance, or any other;
subject affecting our moral character.— Ed. \

.1 Prevalent Mistake. —The scnliin w
that it matters not what a man believes, y>
that he is sincere, is as unscriptural as it|s
absurd. Sincerity in belief has no more
effect in warding off evil in the spiritual,
than in the natural kingdom. If the teach
ings and persuasions of a reputed Chemist
should prevail on you to believe that arse
nic is harmless, would it therefore lie harm
less ? Could you mix it with your bread,
and you and your children eat it without in
juiy to health or fife t Oti no ! NeilftW
will the sincerity of your belief save you
from the consequence of error in religious
■ faith. Bight belief—truth, God’s truth, mi’
brethren, is the only foundation on which
you can safely rest your hopes.”— /lev. E.

of life, yet you find them always employed
cither learning or teaching. They are con

an ununimated prolixity. They newer
swear, speak little, and in their public

is in accordance with the resolution of the j
