Politics in the Pol pit
Home time since, during the beat of the Pied
doutial content, an Episcopalian minister in Phila
delphia, took occasion, by way of variety, to give
his congregation a little spice of politics by deliv
ering a political harangue from the pulpit, instead
of a sermon. This so offended thw tnerobers of
his church that the Vestry requested him to resign.
This he agreed to do, provided the congregation
v.uhl sustain the Vestry. 11m matter vn refer
i.-< I, a short lime since, to the congregation, aad
by a they voted to sustain -Lh
‘i.eo. We think the eoagmghtioa ia this case,
u-u-d fact, fCat politics is connect
ed directly with man’* temporal interest, aiul >r<di
r telly with bis spirt4v*l welfare, will justify the
iulr*>duction of politics into the pulpit, uptife tti#,
waqp lajitudioatiau construction, almost aay sub
ject whatever urigjit_U dragged in. Wilh equal
proprietjTniigbt the importance of construeting a
Railroad, or erecting aYnotory be discussed from
the pulpit. No. “ Let t&e dead bury their de;*d,”
but let the ministry preach the Gospel, the whole
Uospel,* and nothing but the Gospel. “

W have recently been reading Bayard. Tay
l"iT “Journey to Geutral Africa”.and have been
very much interested ia the same. Taylor com
menced his journey at the mouth of the Nile, and
continued it to withiu twelve aud a half degrees
of the Equator. The accouut which ha gives of
Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia and other countries which
he traverseu. is very graphic ami entertaining,
aud will well repay the perusal. He visited tbo-a
countries merely as a traveler, with no other ob
jeer than to gratify his own love of adverttqre, and
add to the get era) stock of scientific reformation.
W bilst he depicts their deep degradation, aad their
miserable superstitions, he do if, rather as a nat
uralist than otherwise. But th* Christian cannot
read the account of millions of immortal beings,
ignorant of trod, *!ven of the basest idolatry, dr
worshipper* of Mahomet, without hawing his feel
ing* of sympathy awakened for their deep misery,
or without (ffihiripg that thwGospel might ha sent

£-jT~ Tim Southern Baptist l‘ubli<-ntion Hocu->y_
has dona a good work iu giving to the danotnina
; tiou, iu cheap form, a sertnou bv tha late Thomas
Mured it h, of North Carolina, on the text, •'The
: blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.” It
! is marked by great literary excellence t a quality
| rare indeed iu these times, and which makes it far
more attractive thau mueb-of our denominational
literature ; and yet wa nsme this excellence as the
i least of the various merits of the work before, us.
i Iu exposiiiqi it is dear, in Uteology sound, in ar
: gunjeul/lfrung, and iu spirit it is “full of faith.” —-
Trjj*( the views it presents are not new, and well
it is that they are uot. ‘Theology less than sev
enteen or eighteen hundred years old, is apt to be
unsavory. Much that we meet wilh in these lat
ter days, is too modern to suit our taste. The
writer of this excellent discourse is content to
walk in the “old paths and refreshing indeed it
is to contemplate with him, those Scriptures and
arguments which go to show rbe completeness
and efficacy of that precious atonemeut which is
our only hope.
No partaker of the grace of the Oospel can
read if, we think, without renewing his llrauks to
Cod t*>f his “uuspenkable giftand we think he
might add a tribute of thanksgiving for this little
mta&noget whieS-so faithfully reminds him of the
extent and value of his. heavenly treasure.
Not the least valuable portion of the discourse,
. is the correction of several important errors, too
frequently made by those who ought U> know bet
ter, in regard to the evidences of personal salva
tion. In another column will le found the pas
sage last referred to, and which we commend to
the perusal of our readers. It is beaded, “Am I
a Christian.”
Our Publication Board can do Os no better ser
vice than to furnish such little works as thU, and
we trust that it may be the precursor of many
more of similar character. T.
* —o—
Am Ia Christian?
There are two or three errors, which occur just
at thus [joint, which evidently require correction.
The opinion or impression ■•extensively prevails,
that a sort of aueutul illumination, amounting in
its consequences to a direct revelation, Mud involv
if eg all the properties of absolute inspiration, nec
essarily attends the remission of sins, and is the
only satisfatory attestation of divine acceptance. —
In relation to this ootion we would ask—Gen the
thing itself be intelligibly defined or conceived of?
Oan it be rationally explained or accounted for,
cm gospel principles t Is there any proof any
whereof its existence? On the contrary, Is it not
utterly destitute of proof of all sorts I is it not
contradicted by all rational and enlightened ex
|erieucn? Is it not wholly unknown in the an
nals of primitive theology ? And is it not utterly
inexplicable, inadmissible, and incredible on any ,
principles but those of direct, absolute inspira
tion ? .
A little reflection, it appears to us, cannot foil
to convince any intelligent enquirer, that this
whole theory of illumination, revelalioo, inspira
tion-call it what you please, is founded in mis
apprehension : ia mistaken views lioth of the gu>-
lhe nature of tb.fi .human miiuj: aud
uotxmly’sdj but that it does infinite
leading the mi ad awayjrom thq.pnlr ipithoriaad
. tjst*of divine acceptsuce, hnchcausiug it to trust
’ in ajnere fictional mere creature of the imagina
tion, which ia cumulated ouly tt> deceive and des
troy. Hence it is, no doubt, that there are so
many who confide m the gospel for salvation,, who
have neither part nor lot in the matter ; and so
many, on the other hand, who are cast down with
fear and despondency, who might otherwise be re
juicing in the liberty of the gospel, firmly resting
oo the rook of ages, and intelligibly accounting
for their .bdpe of salvation.
.Another prevalent opioioD of the same stamp
with the preceding, is, that the appropriate test
of forgiveness is a strong-conviction of the mind
that such is the fact. For example, if a person
can believe, or feel firmly persuaded, that his sins
have been remitted, this persuasion, though be
may not be able to account for its existence, he is
to receive as the attestation of diviae acceptance.
And ou the other hand, until he can realize this
mysterious persuasion, whatever the direct evi
dence of his faith, lure, obedience, and the like, be
is to presume that God has pardoued him. Re
specting this opinion, we would enquire as before
Where is the evidence of its correctness? It ia
certainly not to be found in the scriptures, nor is
it to be found in the enlightened experience of
Christians. Neither is it to be found in the decis
ions of reason or of common sense. On the con
trary, it is manifestly as repugnant to reason and
common sense, as it is to the scriptures and Chris
tian experience. How the convictio* of any truth
may be the effect of evidence previously and du
ly considered t can be easily explained and under
stood. But how a conviction can exist in the
mind without evidence, and more especially how
och conviction is to be received as a substitute
for evidence in support of itself, are points as inex
plicable as they are incredible and preposterous. —
Rut a - moment’s reflection can t>e required, we
: should think, to satisfy the most prejudiced, that
such opinion is not less unfounded in truth than it
hwroetstwrttma m tbauthe
mislehce of sudden and uncommon joy in the
mind, is to be regarded as the ouly approved, test
of forgiveness. For example, if tha sinner, after
season of great darkness and depression, shoo id
suddenly, and without any known cause, experi
ence an extraordinary paroxysm of mental delight
this tq be received as evidence that God has
pardoned ‘ him; while on the other band, until
this mysterious affection shall arise in Lis soul,-
whatever the previous evidence of his compliance
of his faith, his repentance and his obedience* he
is not to believe nor even to presume thjtl ha has
obtained remission. That a person long oppressed
•by • sense of previous guilt, on obtaining evidence
and a consequent persuasion,’that his sku were
out, should experience ‘a joy unspeakable
•ndffufl of glory,* is not ouly reasonable C’d- pro
bable, but is precisely what should be .expected.
Indeed, stMJkptf effect could not fail to folio# such,
• cause. Bni *|mw a person, oppressed with sin,
can realize joy, without *vidßnce, and
without conviction sins are remitted, sets

What a Gospel is this Tot; a poor sinner! “There
is pot,” says an old diviae, “an ill word in it
against a |K>or sinner stripped of hi* self Tig lit
eousness.” It speaks of pardou—of acceptance —
of peace —of full redemption here, and uespeaka
ble glory hereafter. It proclaims a to the
lost; a Redeemer to the captive; a surety to the
insolvent; a physician to the sick; a friend to
tha needy : an advocate to the criminal—all that
a .self-ruined, sin-amwed, law-condemed, justice*
threatene<l, brokee-hearted sinner wants, this ‘ gl. -
rious Gospel of the blessed God” provides. It re

r I"'HE NEW CAR MIN A SACRA, by Dr. J.0c11.-w
I. M.tso ib is now readied the astounding sale of a
nearly half a million copies! First published in 1840
the Carolina Sacra has ever since enjoyed uu unpre
eeJeiife 1 sale which still continues—a greater num
ber of copies having been sold during the year just
closed than in the one previous. The New Carmine
Sacra is a revised edition, the least popular portions
of the old book having been omitted, and their place
supplied by the most valuable pieces from Dr. Mu
sou’s numerous other popular woi ks. The Elements
of Music have also been re written and much enlarge
ed. The New Carminft < Sacra, then, stands alone
pre-eminent among books of its class as the Standard
ColL ction of Church Mu-ic. Whatever other new
books it may have, no choir is completely furnished
for usefulness without a supply of this book.
Teachers of Music if they wish to use in their clas.
ses a text-book which is sure to give’ s ttisfaetion,
should use the New C.arinina Sacra.
Leaders of-Choirs, if they would always have on
hand a supply of such music as is sure to satisfy the
congregation, should obtain the New Carolina Sacra.
Clergymen who wish the choir touse, apart of the
time at least, tunes in which the congregation can
and will unite, should see that they are supplied with
the New Carolina Bacra.
