. 0 God, thou holy, just and -wise.
In humbleness I bow,
Before thy throne, and wilt thou smile?
0 smile, upon me now.
I feel that I have gone astray,
Trampling upon thy grace
And that my sins as mighty clouds
Have hid thee from my face.
But Jesus died for fallen man,
His merits, Lord, I plead;
Forgive my sins, and may my soul
On heavenly manna fed.
And in the knowledge of thy truth,
0 may I daily grow
More perfect; may I live with thee
When time shall be no more.

Sec. 3. No enlightened chriStian, like
Jesse Mercer,* could read the Bible, and yet
not feel the duty pressing upon him, with a
mountain’s'weight, to proclaim the unsearch
able riches of Christ to a ruined wosld. Did
not Paul and other apostles entertain similar
sentiments as exhibited in their
active missionary labors ? Paul’s conversion
was of the benevolent character : “What
shall Ido Lord ?” “I will send thee far
heuce to the Gentiles.” Acts 22: 10, 21.
When he and Barnabas had returned from
their first missionary tour (Acts 13 and 14,)
how were they treated when they reached
Jerusalem, at the famous Council convened
there on the question of Gentile circumcis
ion 7 You know it is said by Baptists, that
there never was furnished so favorable an
opportunity to show that baptism had w ©ouie
in room of circttmcision, as in the’ discus
sions of that council ; for if it were true f
> yvhy did not some of the wise men m attend--
ance make this broad declaration: “These
brethren at Antioeh, where the dispute had
its origin, have all been baptized , have re
ceived the milder seal, which Christ appoint
ed in lieu of circumcision; now, why make
a noise about that Antiquated rite; baptism
has come in its place ?” The council, how
ever, determined, “As touching the Gentiles,
which believe, we have written and conclud
ed that they observe no such thing” as cir
cumcision, for it belongs exclusively to Abra
ham’s posterity. Acta 21 : 25. What did
the council say to the missionaries ? “Then
all the multitude kept silence and gave au
dience to Barnabas and Saul, declaring what
miracles and wonders God had wrought
among the Gentiles by them.” Acts 15 :12.
Do they resolve that the missionaries shall be
inhibited going abroad, when so much is to
be done among the churches at home ? Do
they aver that missions is an unscriptural
theory, destitute of prophetic authority and
New Testament command ? If the zeal of
those brethren were too warm, if they had
attempted some new scheme, ambitious of
worldly glory, they ought to have been re
buked and taught the way of the Lord more
perfectly, and forbidden to run away after
new notions and unrevealed paths; but not
so, for we learn from Gal. 2 : 9, that “James,
Peter and John, pillars,” the most distin
guished of the apostles, “gave them the right
hand of fellowship, that we should *mw
the heathen.” Timothy
and ,Lx£e Wre off into Europe and preach
IHo gospel in Macedonia, Greece and other
regions. Not a disfclloivshipping resolution is
passed against their unscriptural oourse.
Sec. 4. Wm. Cary, justly entitled to theap
pellation of apostle of Hindostan, was some 8
years older than Mercer, and ordained two
years before him. His native county was
Northampton, England, where he labored,
when grown, as a journeyman shoe-maker—
afterwards as a village school-master. For
a dozen years prior to 1790 his mind was
much concerned on the condition of the hea
then world and the duty of Christians to
send to them the gospel: He was intense in
studying geography and history, and in con
structing maps of various countries, in order
to ascertain the number and moral condi
tion of the people. Prior to the discovery
of this Western world, Columbus was ab-
A garbed in the study of geography; he search
■Mgfcevery map and chart, enquired of every
acquainted with nautical affair*, in ro
l^e winds, seas and islands,
a list,pf ever) log that had been
floated from the West, in order that he
might gain information. Such, was the in
tensity of Carey's mind in regard to the mo
ral condition of the heathen world,
an irrepressible desire to save . them
the folly and ruin of. idolatry. Tue jltscovj
ery of anew continent is regarded a mighty
achievement; but he who lays a success t#l
plan to enlightep the inhabitants and scts in
operation means to render them
ly and ripe for <heaVen, accomplishes more
than aU the navigators that have ever con
structed a chart o the deck of a ves
sel on a voyage to undiscovered lands.
Through hip influence, at a meeting of the
Northamptonshire Association, in 1784, an
hour, the first Monday in each month, was
set apart for extraordinary prayer for a re
vival of religion, and for the extension of
Christ’s kingdom in the world. Few sym
pathized ii) his views; they supposed the set
time to favor Zion had not arrived. Home
must first be evangelized, not aware of the
fact established by history ttett, these churchy
■es which, sent out horaldg—el the* cross TO
heathen lands, are most apt to be revived at
home and blessed abundantly in their efforts
abroad.
In 1792 he preached from Isaiah 54: 2d
and 3d verses, which produced the deepest
interest. His two leading thoughts were,
Ist, “Expect great things from God.” 2d,
“Attempt great things for God.” The Mis
sion society was formed in October of this
year, and all that could be raised were £l3
2s 6d! —thirteen pounds two shillings and
six pence, English money.
A Doctor Thomas, who had been a sur
geon in Bengal, a pious man, had made some
attempts to preach to the natives, was trying
to raise some support for a'mission there and
desired a companion: when Carey and he
met, though strangers, “they fell on each
other’s neck and wept.”
* It is known that Mercer attended the
sessions of the Triennial Convention in
1817 —in 1820, with Elijah Mosely, in 1826
and preached the Introductory in New York,
and in 1835 at Richmond, Va., and was for
many years the President of the Board. At
the last meeting he formed an acquaintance
with Rev. Isaac Taylor Hinton, a young En
glish minister, pastor of a church in that ci
ty. Soon he is pastor in Chicago—then iu
St. Louis, 1841-2, for eight years; then he
settled in New Orleans, where he died of
Yellow Fever, about 1850. “The A. B. P.
Society” published iu 1842 ap excellent
work, “History of Baptism,” which he wroff*
at their request, 12 rao.‘.•wx-pagesT In T 843
p-VKoued In St. Louis “The .prophesies
of Daniel and John, illifislrated by the events
of history,” 375 pages, a very useful work.
As he was correcting the title page, for the
printer, a friend stepped in, to whom he
showed it; it was, the “Prophecies of Dan
iel and St. John,” on which he was asked,
“Why not St. Daniel as well as St. John ?
for Daniel was as good a saint as the other?”
He erased St. immediately; for custom, not
inspiration had misled him.
Mr. H. was an easy and effective speaker
and a man of very respectable acquirements,
a scholar of Bristol Academy. In 1844,
Union College, N. Y., conferred on him the
title of A. M. Friends tried to dissuade
him from going to New Orleans, but he
thought his English constitution could en
dure any unhealthy climate. He left a wid
ow, a most excellent woman, and five or six
children.
John H., his brother, published in Eng
land a very large history of missions, quar
to, which was republished iu this-country,
some twenty years ago, edited by Doctor
Choules, an English minister in the N. E.
States.
Piety upon a Throne.
Among the distinguished Christian war
riors, if that name may be permitted, Gus
tavus Adolphus, king of Sweden, holds a
prominent place,. He was born in Stockholm
on the 9th of December, 1594; crowned
kiug of Swedcn at 26th of De
cember, 1611, and feUjfctfwJmttle of Lut
zen, fitb- of‘November, 17)32. Born*—
crowned—fell! these three words record the
history of the great man. His grand-father,
Gustavus Yasa, had introduced the refor
mation into Sweden; his father, Charles IX,
had completed the work; and it remained
for Gustavus Adolphus to become one of the
most distinguished defenders of protestan ism
against the attacks of its enemies. It is
written iu the book of life, “Train up a child
in the way he should go, and when he is old
he will not depart from it;” and not one
promise of that blessed book has ever been
found to deceive those who trust in it. In
choosing tutors for his son, Charles IX se
lected only those whom he knew to be god
ly men, and who would not forget that the
fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Johu Skitte and Otto de Moerner were the
names of the men to whom this charge was
committed.
Gustavus Adolphus seems from a very
early age to have been under the influence
of vital religion. Even as a child he never
commenced any new undertaking without
first committing it to God in prayer; and
when he was become a man, he saw no reas
on to give over the practice. How wondrous
is the influence of S* ves j
clearness to the con
ness to the whole
years of age, this youth dflHB
, lari y in the council of
- important
to him. In his fifteenth
giving audience
tiering the army,
the soldiers, undertaking M?
sy to Denmark to prevent
hostilities, and taking an aefl
deliberation- of the
know, also, that it was
uion with G.d which gave jfl
tone to his whole charactei^^H^^^HHß
Many years later, in u r. T
camp, housed to say, “1 * -~
the temptations of the devi
to the word of God.” He
remained for hours alone in
and wouKl-Vi >t suffer hiniseH'WV.-' v
Un one such occasion a U. Z ££•*!
at the camp with news
’ ‘lfosihess could bear no delay, and * qp-enter
ing thejtent, the messenger fmffd the king
bathed in tears and on his knees before
open Bible. The intruder was. about to re
tire, when the king, rising slowly from his
knees, bade him remain.
“You, may, perhaps, thinldifbtrange,” he
said, “to see me thus occupied, whett I have
so many to pray for me, but no one has so
much need of grayer as the mart who is res
ponsible to God alone for his conduct, When
I first seek counsel of God, and obtain the
divine approbation, I may then-venture fear
lessly to carry out my plans.” i
It was well that Gustavus Adolphus bad
early learned the efficacy of prayer, for the
decease of his father brought slim at-a very
early age to the throne of Sweden. He had
just completed his seventeenth year, when
on the 17th of December, was pro
claimed king, and nine days*’later was crow
ned. He may have felt at t&jit time as king
Solomon did, and his prdjjfr was the same :
“And now, oh Lordmy God,Hiou hast made
thy servant king instead of my father, and
lam but a little child. Give, therefpre, thy
servant an understanding heart to judge
thy people. “■ . . -i
His natural fiery disposition
much grace to subdue it, and though his gen
eral oharacter was subject to the law-of God
In a pre-eminent degree, still be was not free
from many and grievous faifitgs_ lie had
grown up at a court where duels wefg_ com
mon, and yrbvre ib > po7ish*of later times had
as yet not entered-. Shortly after he became
king, an incident occurred which shows
something of hia character. A Sootoli of
ficeT, €ol. Seaton, who was at court, had at
one time made some mistake in the discharge
of duty. The king, in his usual manner,
gave him a severe reprimand, when the col
onel attempting to palliate the offence, re
ceived from Gustavns a smart boi on the
ear. Seaton at once surrendered his com
mission, and.hastened to offer his-services to
the king of Denmark. Gustavus Adolphus
soon repented of what* dae .had done, and, ta
king a few companions, he mounted his
horse, and galloped after t|e Scotchman,
overtaking him just as he -crossed the
Swedish frontiers. “Colonel,’?-said thp king
on coming up, “1 have done you injustice,
and have insulted you, for whieh I am very
sorry; and knowing you to be a man of hon
or, I have come to offer you satisfaction. —
Here are pistols and swords, choose- which
you will, for beyond the frontiers Gustavus
Adolphus and Seaton are equals.” StpUn j
sprung from his horse, fell on his knee be- j
fore the king, and begged to be agaiu tfken :
ir.to his service ; for such a king he would
gladly live and die. The offer was accepted,
and on returning to court, the king stited
publicly what satisfaction lie had offered,
and what reparation he had made for the in
sult, This, although displaying honorable
traits of feeling, was yet a concession to the
false notions of the age.
A little tnore experience, however,
.£.d_bis:.,vi&wa of duelling, and in the lavs
which lie wrote for his own army, it was clas
sed among “the crimes to be punished with
death. Matty years after the event abtre
recorded, two effieers having quarrelled,
having asked leave to he relieved from tin
army regulations about duelling,
king at the same time to be present at fti*
“affair of honor,” were somewhat astonislel
on arriving at the appointed place to. fin<§
the king and all his staff waiting for them.—-
Theft astonishment was increased on seeing
the public executioner take his place witl
the axe beside him. “Don’t he alarmed
gentlemen,” said the king, “yon have ia.vi
ted me to witness a breach of the law whieL
you and I have sworn to obey, and I have
given orders to the headsman that whoevei
strikes the first blow shall be immediately
beheaded.” The duellists laid down theii
swords, and the king retired, having thus
publicly vindicated the majesty of the law
The fountain of content must spring'up
in the mind; and he whethae so little knowl
edge of human nature, as to seek happi
ness by changing anything hut his own dis
position, will waste his life in fruitless ef
forts, and multiply the griwfo which he pro
poses to remove.

’ At this stern crisis, when men ask’ for
facts, not theories, a church must commend
itselfj not by words but deeds, and prove its
apostolic authority by evincing an apostolic
spirit. Our countrymen will not dig amid
the rubbish of antiquity, ndr turn over, die
leaves of books of controversial theology, to
ascertain who are the disciples of Christ. —
They will test our faith by our works, judge
the tree by its fruits, and recognize as the
servants of Jesus those who, like their Mas
ter, go about doing good. Converted souls
are. the only legitimate “seals of our apqstlc-
ship in the Lord.” Preaching the gospel is
the true proselytism. A kind word’ of-chris
tian counsel spoken to a sick soldier, a sin
gle tear dropped at the couch of the sufferer,
by a Baptist missionary or colporter, will
more eftectually promote the interests of our
denomination, than any other human instru
ment at our command.
An Unsuccessful Minister.
A worthy minister of the gospel was the
pastor of a flourishing church. He had been
a popular preacher, but gradually become
less acceptable to hia hearers, and his con
gregation very much decreased. This was
solely attributed to the minister; and mat
ters continuing to get worse and worse, some
of his hearers resolved to speak with him on
the subject. A deputation was accordingly
appointed to wait upon him for that purpose.
They did so; and when the good man had
heard their complaints, he replied :
.“I am quite sensible of all you say, for I
feel it to be true; and the reason of it is,
that I have lost my prayer-book.”
They looked quite astonished at hearing
this, but he proceeded :
“Once ray preaching was acceptable, and
many were edified by it, and numbers were
added to the church, which was then in a
prosperous state. But we were then a pray
ing people. It was this, by the blessing cf
God, that made us prosper. But as prayer
began to be restrained, my preachingbecame
less acceptable, the church declined, and
things became as they now are.”
They took the hint. Social prayer was
again punctually attended to. The result
was, that the minister became as popular,-
and the church as flourishing as ever.
Scraps.
- —The truly great and good, in affliction,
bear a countenance more princely than they
are wont; for it is the temper of the highest
hearts, like the palm-tree, to strive most up
wards when it is most burdened.
—Anger is the most impotent passion
that accompanies the mind of man. It ef
fects nothing it goes about; and hurts the
man who is possessed by it more-than any
other against whom it isclirected.
It is very rare to find ground whieh pro
duces nothing: if it isnotcoveretHfitlflow
ers, with fruit tress and grains, it produces
briars and thorns. It is the same with man ;
it he is not virtuous, he bcomes vicious.
—An Indian philosopher being asked
what were, according to his opinion, the two
most beautiful things in the universe, an
swered : “The starry heavens above our
heads, and the feeling of duty in our hearts.”
—“Pour water into a vessel with a nar
row neck, and littfo enters; pour gradually
and in small quantities, and the vessel is fil
led.” Such was the simile employed by
Quintilian to show the folly of teaching chil
dren too much at a time.
Hints to Ministers.
Expect much, and much will be given. Souls
are perishing everyday; and our own en
trance into eternity cannot he far distant.—
Let us, like Mary, do what we can, and no
doubt God will bless it, and reward us openly.
Seek to be lamb-like; without this all your
efforts to do good to others will be as sounding
brass or tinkling cymbal.
Got much of the hidden life into your own
soul; soon ft will make life spread around.-
Never forget that the end of a sermon is tbe
salvation of the people.
Do not fear tbe face of men. Remember
how small their anger will appear in eternity.
But an inch of time remains, and the eter
nal ages roll on forever —but an inch, on which
we stand and preach the way of salvation to
the perishing world.—-V. Cheyne.
