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.

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.
