Sow far Churches may aid in the successful
Preaching of Christ Crucified-
In my lust communication ] slated that,
the pre idier by enjoying the respect and
support of a church will be placed in the
most suitable condition to preach Christ
Crucified. Another circumstance I would
mention, which is equally entitled to our
notice, and that is, punctuality on the min
istration of God’s word. The people are
the inaietials on whom the Gospel is loop
crate; and in pioponion to the multiplicity j
of those who hear, there will be a corres- I
ponding opportunity for good. A cannon
ball discharged at a crowd will be more like
ly lo lake effect, anti when it does take ef
fect, will produce a wider range of destrue- !
tion, than if directed against a single object, j
What is true in this respect, is equally so j
in the preaching of Christ Crueilied. in a !
large assembly, there are more to he fqtiud, |
whose mental, and moral complexion is
similar ; and as all minds are effected
by the exhibition til th, same trmnjSpl will \
happen that if one mind be elfecreuT there
will be more, 11s the proportion ol similar j
moral and intellectual complexion will be j
greater.
But it may be said that a church will not j
afford this opportunity of doing good, since
all tile members are supposed lobe convert
ed : therefore the punctual attendance of
members can neither add to, nor diminish i
the usefulness of a preacher. This may i
seem plausible to some, hut to me, it is not
altogether plain. The sevcial changes of
Christian experience ea i no more he pro
duced, without a cause, than rain and sun
shine. The services connected with God’s
sanctuary are intimately associated with
our religions impiovcinenl. In proof of
which I need lint appeal to facts. Experience
leaches us that every chtireh, which enjoys
not a stated ministry, is in a most deplora
ble condition ; and that those families, who
are more marked in their negligence on pub
lic worship, have stink down into a cold
formality, having scarcely “ the form of
godliness.” Facts therefore teach us, that
a punctual attendance on tho ministry id
God’s word is attended with religious im
provement, and if so, then it is tlui result ol
the preaching of Christ Crueilied ; for the
power ol tin; Gospel is i lu.-tral tl not only
in die conversion ol mutters, tflh in the com
fort and final salvation of believers.
In further illustration of my position I
would assert, that by punctual attendance
oh the ministry, we will ultimately create
an opinion, which it it be not already in the
ascendant, will become so, when it will he
considered an unpopular feature in theehar
scloi ol any mail to neglect the house of
worship. And thus by the influence of
your example, you will multiply the num
ber of hearers, and furnish a wider scope
for the succcslul preaching of Olitist Cru
cified. Besides, the prospect ol'a large ami
attentive assembly will carry with it a cor
responding change to the mind ol the
preacher, lie will be encouraged and ani
mated. The increase of Ins responsibly,
consequent upon the addition of his hear
ers, will rouse the dormant energies of his j
soul. The prospect of a wider field will i
make him more fervent in his prayer, more |
zealous in his devotions, more energetic in :
his efforts, and more patient in his endu
rance ; lor greater will be the number of
those who will be stars in the crown of his
rejoicing. Thus by your punctuality on
the ministration of God’s word; by tho im
provement of your own spiritual condition,
by increasing the number of hearers, by an
imating and encouraging > our preacher, you
render him more ellieiciit in preaching
Christ and him crucified.
Equally allied to this, is unity, both in
feeling and, if possible, in sentiment.*
The Apostle Peter never would have
written to the scattered churches of Asia,
urging them to lie of one mind, to love as
brethren, to be pitiful and courteous if he
did not believe that unity was a cnciiuisiuii
tial, a secondary condition to the successful
preaching of Christ Crucified. Unity is
the only sure pledge of success; and divis
ion, the harbinger of defeat. The moun
tain torrent moving with such power is but
the unitinii of several streams acting con
jointly. The enormous masses of the ma
terial universe are composed ol infinitely
small particles of matter, which in their
separate capacities are scarcely perceptible.
Love ts that cohesive pi.uciple which binds
tho scattered paniclesot the church together
in otic firm and solid body ; and the pietten
or who finds himself garrisoned by such
a heart work will hid defiance to all the
weapons that are formed against him; lor
they will prove weak and powerless.
A divided church is like a nest of vipers
—a stale of perpetual warfare and commo
tion. A noxious vapor is constantly as
cending, poisoning the atmosphere. Di
vision! Division! thou bane to prospeiiiv
—how would 1 strangle thee, as lien tilts
did tho serpent, for tmly thou art a serpent
in tlie church of Christ. Streams running
in a parallel line would never meet, lull let
them couveige dll they meet, ami they lorni
a mighty river, multiplying the sources ol
their lit lily, or pert-hanec, they foim a
mighty cataract; speaking lo man the proud
language of Omnipotence. So far shall
thou come, and no fmthcr. It i* not to lie
expected that we shall think alike on every
subject; the field of speculative subjects is
too wide to admit ol any such supposition ;
we should be of the same moral mind—feel
ing alike on all subjects of moral interest.
Should a church not co-operate with its pas
tor in benevolent enterprises ; the influence
ofl'.is individual example would be compar
atively tiifling; hut let the church come
forth, with a generous mind, anil feel alike
on moral subjects ; then indeed Satan might
tremble lor the safety of his kingdom; for
the (’hrist crucified, under such
circumstances, will prove the power of God
and the wisdom of God, .W. R. s.

Sunday School Hooks.
“It is a fact to be lamented on our p.,rt,
that the American Sunday School Union
furnishes cheaper hooks than our Amciican
I Baptist Publication and Sunday School So- J
■ ciety or any baptist publishets in our coun
try/”
The above paragraph is to be lottiid at the
close of an editorial in the Christian index,
u Baptist paper published in Penlield, Geor
gia, and headed Sunday Schools; in which
the editor recommends the church at Salem,
either to comply with cettain conditions and
accept the offer of the American Sunday
School Union, which is a library of eighty i
volumes, &e., or else to “make up a sum j
of money, send it on eillict to Gould, Ken- j
dall and Lincoln, Boston, Massachusetts,or j
to the corresponding secretary of the Airier- j
icatl Sunday School Union, Philadelphia,
and obtain Sunday School Books, &c.—
and then follows the above lamentation. If!
indeed ilte books of our Publication Socie
ty, are dearer than those of the American
Sunday School Union,(but which assertion
wu have the liberty of questioning.) what
advantage was there in proclaiming it to the
world, tu the injury of a denominational in
stitution, which not only requires but which
looks for the fostering care of every Bap
i tita.
I But is it so,—that the books published !
bjr our Society are ovre costly than the
i publications of the Union? This statement
| should he looked at carefully, fur tl is a se
| rinus one, and whether true or not, its mere
| announcement lit the connexion with which
> it is made, is calculated to inflict a serious
! injury on our institution by directing our |
Baptist friends to look else where for their i
hooks.
Since writing the above, we have con-1
versed on the subject, with brother Loxley.
the depository Agent, who assures ns, that
the prices of the publications of our Socie- j
ly aie as leasonuhlc as those of the Ameri-j
can Sunday School Union, or any other re
spectable publishing linn, and that the coin-1
iniltee whose business it is to fix the prices j
to the new books, have always endeavored
by a lair comparison, to rate them as low as!
those of otliei publishers.
But admitting that tho books of our So- i
ciety are a liaclion above the pries* of those
ol oilier houses, it ought not in be employ
ed as an argument to our disadvantage, par
itculuily by one of our denomination—as it
will be temembered, that we are compara
tively a young publishing firm, wilhooteap
1 ilal, struggling to live, and depending en
| tirely upon Baptist patronage and suppott,
j as it is well known, that from pedo-haplists,
j we cannot expect to detive any favors.
But independent of otir own hooks, all
the publications of the American Sunday
School Union, may he had at our deposito
ry No. 31, N. Sixth street, on the same
terms as at the counter of their own store, j
| as also those of the New England Sunday
j School Union, and the publications ofGould,
Kendall, and Lincoln, of Boston.
We would lake it kindly il brother Baker
will make this fact known through his In
dex. It seems to us, but an act of justice
to the Society, that all should be apprised
of this arrangement, for we are sure that
the brethren in Georgia, would prefer mak
ing their purchases at their own Baptist de
pository, provided they can be as well serv
ed, as to go elsewhere.
REMARKS ON Tllf. ABOVE.
Wo were applied to for information by !
the church at Salem ; we also knew that
others desired information on the same sub
ject; wa knew that our churches find it dif
ficult to taise the stun necessary to procure
a Sabbath school lilnaty ; it was therefore
desirable that they should be informed
where they could obtain the greatest num
ber oj books for their money, and we hon
estly informed them of the fact, that they
could obtain from the Am. S. 8. Union
cheaper than any where else.
As to the matter of fact, we will add, that
we have acted several years asagentin sell -
ingSabbnth school and otiier religious books.
I When we acted as agent for the Columbus
Association, we were accustomed to order
of brother Loxley a given amount ol'S. S.
Books. Ho generally sent us mostly the
publications of the Society, which we found
exceedingly unsaleable on account of their
prices. The books of the S. 8. Union we
sold readily. We have on file all of hisac
eounts, which will show that we had to pay
inora for the Society’s hooks than for those
of the S. 8. Union. They will also show
that, in some instances, when he furnished
hooks that were published *.f/.ci/.7iere, we
had to pay an additional amount to cover
the expenses of transpot tation to Philadel
phia. This was a clear loss; for the freight
from Philadelphia was as great as the freight
from N. York or Boston.
We state these facts in justification of
our icmarks. We do not intend to enter
into any controversy about the Society. If
therefore l>ro. Jewell or brother Peek art*
disposed to dispute about it they mav have
the disputation all till their own side ; pro
tided they do not require us to publish, ill
I oui own paper, a condemnation of our own
j course, or views.

What is the precise di(Terence existing
i between the foreknowledge and decrees ol
j God ? ‘ c.
I'lie term decree is of frequent occur
; mice in the Old Testament in application
to transactions among men. Cyrus, Dari
us, and Artaxcrxe* each made a decree re
specting the Jews. Ez. 5. 13. 0: 12. 7 :
21. In Acts 17 :7, mention is made of
“the decrees of Osar."—ln Acts 16: 4,
we read of dectees ordained by the apos
tles. In all these cases, decrees are out
ward laws. But in 1 Cor. 7: 37, mention
,is made o( what a man has decreed in his
i heart. In this latter application, the term
| denotes a purpose or determination of the
j mind. In Dan. 4 : 24, mention is made of
I “the decree ol the Most High”—and in
P-. 2> 7, wc hear of “the decree” which
seems to refer to the divine purpose in the
spread of the gospel. God has given “to
the sea his decree that the waters should
not pass his commandment.” Prov. 8 : 29.
The word purpose is [more frequently
used in the Bible, to denote what some call
a decree of God. Jeremiah says, “Every
purpose of the Lord shall bo performed a
g.iiost Babylon.” Isaiah says “The Lord
of I lostS'has purposed, wliosliall disannul?”
God himself says, “1 have purposed, so
shall il stand.” “I have purposed it, 1 also
will do il.” We read of “the purpose ol j
him who woiketh till things after the coun
cil of his own will,” and also ol his “eter- j
oal purpose.”
The term foreknowledge is usually taken i
to mean simply, “The knowledge of a thing •
before it occurs.”
Purpose (or decree) and foreknowledge j
in the Divine Mind, in respect to any liu
man event, may be regauled as alike in some !
particulars, anti unlike in other particulars.
Take, for example, the event referred to in
one of the quotations above—the overthrow
of Babylon. The great event was predict
ed by Isaiah 200 years before it took place ;
The purpose and foreknowledge of God in |
respect to that event did not (litier.
1. In lespeclto their date. They were
co-existent. In the nature or tilings one
could not exist without the other. It is, we
thould thin;., impossible for the human
’ mind to conceive that God should purpose
j such an event without kunwingtliat it would
I lake plane, and yet have no purpose te
| speclmg it.
2. They agree in that both are eternal.
To suppose that God ever existed, either
! without knowledge, or without purpose,
| would imply av, ry inadequate condition ol
j “his eternal power and godhead ?”
3. They do not differ in the implied cer
tainly ol the event. There seems to bean
impression on some minds that il God pur
| (loses or dscrees a tiling, it must be more
! certain than it would be if he simply lore
! knew it. But how so? Is not the lnli
i nite foreknowledge ol God always perfect’
And does not such foreknowledge imply
the most absolute certainty in the event ?
if there had been any unreriatiili as to the
overthrow ol Babylon, would God hate in
spired his prophet t • piethct it ? Does not
the cettain prediction ol an event, imply
that n will certainly come to pass ?
Yet purposes and foreknowledge are not
the same thing. Wisdom and power are
equally attributes of God, and are equally
infinite and eternal. Yet wisdom and pow
er in God are not the same thing, lo re
gard to human agency, God purposed such
agency, and knew it would exist —and in
regard to the various actings of that agen
cy, he knew them all, and purposed, no
doubt for wise reasons, to permit them
When it is proved that God has done a
thing, this ought to settle the point that tl 1
was right lor him to do it—and what it was
right to do, it could not he wrong to pur
pose.
Ail Affecting Incident.
The following lunching incident is
tho New York Mirror:
! An eminent clergyman otic evening bu
j came the subject ol conversation, anil a won
. der was expressed that he never was mar
rietl. ‘That wonder,’ said Miss Dorter, j
; ‘was expressed to the Reverend gentleman
himself m my hearing, and he told a story
in answer, which 1 w ill tell you, and, per
haps, slight as it may seem, it is the histo
ry of other hearts as sensitive and delicate
as Ins own. Boon alter his ordination, he
preached once every Sabbath for a clergy
man in a small village not twenty miles
from London.
Among his auditors, front Sunday to
Sunday he observed a young lady, w ho al
ways occupied a certain seat, and whose
close attention began insensibly to grow to
Inin an object of thought and pleasure.—
She lull the church as soon as service was
over, and it so chanced that he went on for
a year without knowing her name ; bin Ins
sermons were not written without a thought
how she would approve them, nor preach
ed with satisfaction unless he read appro
bation in her face. Gtadually he came to
think of her at other limes than when wri
ting sermons, and to wish to see her on
other days than Sunday ; but the weeks
slipped on, and though he fancied that she
grew paler and. thinner, he never mustered
resolution enough to a>k her name or seek
to speak with her. By those silent steps,
however, love had worked into his heart,
aud he made up his mind to seek her ac
quaintance and marry her, if possible, when
one tlay he was sent for to minister at a
funeral.
I lie face of the corpse was the same that
had looked tip’to him Sunday alter Sunday,
till he learned to make it a part of his rth
gtoii and his life. He was unable to per
form the service, and another clergy man
officiated ; and after slit* was buried her la
ther look him aside and apologized for giv
ing him pain—but he could not resist the
impulse to tell him that Ins daughter lead
mentioned his name with her last breath,
and lie wa afraid a concealed alfeetion for
him had hurried tier to the grave. Since
that, said the clergyman in question, inv
heart has been dead within me, and I look
forward,'only to the time when I shall speak
to her in heaven.’

A NEW BOOK.
Just published and for sale, wholesale
and retail, by the publisher, at the Index of
fice, a work entitled,
“SIMPLE RHYMES
AND
FAMILIAR CONVERSATIONS,
FOR CHILDREN.
BY UNCLE CHARLES.”
Ihe publisher of this work, designs to
say but liule in regard lo its claims to the
patronage of the public. He has given two
or three Iricnds an opportunity of inspect
ing it, and their opinions, with that ol the
Editor ol the Index, wilt be found below.
I’he two following paragraphs are ex
tracted from the Prelate, and will give some
idea ol the character and design ofthe work,:
“Some of the pieces aie written in the
simplest style, suited to the capacity of very
young children ; others in a liule more ele
vated strain, yet not so much so hut vvhat
they can be well understood by most chil
dren, with the aid of a few simple explan
ations from the older members of the family.
The little Book is divided into two pßjns:
the first made up of pieces that are some
what tinged with humor and pleasantry,
though still interspersed with religious sen
timent; tiie other composed entirely ol
such as are of a grave, solemn and religious
character.”
ihe work is illustrated with four hand
somely executed wood cuts. The first rep
resents a mill er, with three little boys near
her, one six years of age, another eight,
another ten—the largest one handing his
mother a little Book open, lor her to in
spect.
2nd. A minister with a young person (a
girl 12 years ol age) standing waist deep to
the water, about to be baptized (immersed)
and several persons, male and female, ami
various ages, standing on the shore.
3rd. I bree little children, (a hoy and his
two sisters) standing in a grave yard by the
gta\es id their parents, weeping.
4th. A little boy, wrapped in a winding
sheet, his little sister not knowing that he
is dead, presenting him Hit a flower, and ]
trying to make him lake it; the mother sit-1
ting by weeping.
