For the Christian Index.
The Hospital Patient.
BY REV. A. D. COHEN.
0 how weary! How painful! How disa
greeable! These are expressions which we
often hear as we pass through the hospitals
where our dear soldier friends are confined
to their couches of pain and sickness. And
we know that these sad cadences fall from
the lips of those who have reason to utter
them, as they do, with heart-felt sincerity.
To lie there upon the narrow couch for days
and weeks is wearisome indeed. To he un
able to engage in those employments which
have hitherto occupied the mind beclouded
with disease and the body becoming weaker
and weaker, and the couch, be it ever so
nicely made up, seeming to get harder and
harder —we know this is painful. To be
continually assailed by the groans of the dis
eased and suffering all around, and frequent
ly to have the nerves of the whole system,
already sensitive to the least noise, shocked
by the screams of some poor fellow whose
extreme pains compel him to cry out—or by
the incoherent mutterings of another whose
brain is affected —or by the dying groans of
a departing soldier friend —I know this is
extremely unpleasant and disagreeable. You
have the sympathy, the deepest sympathy
of my soul, dear reader. lam most sorry
for you. Could I relieve you so that you
could at once return to your accustomed
place in your company, how gladly would I
do it! This I can not do. There are those
around you who are endeavoring to do all
they can, I trust, for your comfort and re
covery. The skilful Surgeon is there to
watch the development of your disease and
to apply the remedies. The kind nurse is
by your side to administer to your wants —
to adjust your pillow, to fan your feverish
head, and to apprise the Surgeon of- any sud
den change in the character of your symp
toms. The missionary or colporter occasion
ally your side and speaks kindly and
encouragingly to ycu, and perhaps, prays for
you. He has just handed you this little
Tract which desires to remind you that a
greater than all these is here too. Jesus—
the Son of Cod, the Saviour—the sinner’s
Friend—the kind Physician of souls, who
truly, deeply sympathises with you, in all
your troubles. Yes! Jesus is near to you.
Did you ever think of of it ?’ He is able to
cure you. He can cure you by a word—
at once. Or, He can cure you by the use
of means. Os the truth of this, we have
many examples. He can cure the most in
veterate disease. Once, “two blind men sit
ting by the way-side, when they heard that
Jesus passed by, cried out saying, Have mer
cy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And
Jesus stood still, and called them, and said,
What will ye that I shall do unto you? They
said unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be
opened. So Jesus had compassion on them
and touched their eyes; and immediately
their eyes received sight, and they followed
him.” Matt. 20: 30. Peter’s mother-in
law was afflicted and Jesus cured her. “And
when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he
saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fe
ver. And he touched her hand, and the fe
ver left herand she arose and ministered
unto them.” Matt. 8 :14,15. “And there
came a leper- to him, beseeching him and
kneeling down to him, and saying unto him,
If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.—
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put
forth his hand, and touched him, and saith
unto him, I will, be thou clean. And as
soon as he had spoken, immediately the lep
rosy departed from him and he was cleans
ed.” Mark 1: 40. Our Saviour met a funer
al procession just outside of the main. The
dead man was the only son of his mother,
and she was a widow. “And when the Lord
saw her, he had compassion on her, and said
unto her, Weep not. And he came and
touched the bier, and they that bare it stood
still. And he said, Young man, I say unto
thee, arise. And he that was dead sat up
and began to speak. And he delivered him
to his mother.” Luke 7:11.
You do not doubt his power to cure you,
but you would be glad to know that he was
willing to cure you. And how are you to
know that, without asking him ? Have you
ever gone to him and asked him to heal your
malady —to rebuke the disease under the
power of which you are suffering ? If you
would pursue this course, perhaps he would
put forth his mighty power and turn your
sickness, at once—or bless the means which
are being used by your Surgeon, and grad
ually, yet surely, you would find your strength
returning to you. Have you ever prayed
that Jesus would thus bless you ? Do, my
dear friend, consider, seriously, this question.
Don’t put it away from you. Much as you
may depend upon the skill of your surgeon,
and as much as I may value it, unless the
medicines hejprescribes, is blessed of God to
bring about the desired end, you will not
rise from your bed of sickness, this time. Or,
why is it that so many die under the treat
ment of the same kind Surgeon ? Why do
not the same medicines prescribed for pa
tients afflicted with the same diseases always
cure under exactly the same circhmstahdes ?
The wise physician often weeps over his poor
patient, whom he sees sinking into the cold
embrace of death because he is powerless to
prevent it, though he has exercised all his
skill with assiduous care and anxiety. God
has not blessed the means used at this time,
though they have, in a thousand instances,
perhaps, been efficacious in his practice. I
again ask, affectionately, haveyou ever pray
ed to Jesus to raise you up to health and
strength ? No ! Then, perhaps, that is the
reason your disease still clings to you, and
you are getting weaker and weaker, and ypur
surgeon will have to weep over his utter
helplessness to prevent a fatal termination.
O, begin to pray ! Remember, how val
uable your life is. Your country needs your
assistance to drive the wicked enemies from
her soil. They threaten to overrun our land,
to destroy our fair fields, confiscate our prop
erty-drive our wives and little ones out in
to the cold world houseless and homeless.—
Your country needs your strong arm. Pray
that God would give you strength.
Remember, how dear you are as a husband
and father. Your dear companion who has
heard of your sickness weeps over your dan
ger, and her heart flatters in her bosom, and
often sickens at the thought of being for
ever deprived ofyour dear, friendly counsels,
and of you sweet society. Your children
need a father’s care and long to cling around
your knees, and to throw their loving arms
around your neck. Remember, how dear
you are to your fond and affectionate moth
er and doting father and sisters and broth
ers. O, what a void would be produced in
their hearts—what sadness would shroud all
the future, if they were no more to see your
face in the flesh. By all these considera
tions, I begyou to begin to pray that Jesus
would cure you.
You say, “you have never been accustom
ed to pray.” Then there is so much the
greater reason for you to begin at once. The
sands of your life may be running out. Your
disease is progressing—soon you wi.l be bey
ond the reach of all help. Now, while you
are reading his little sheet, your disease may
be approaching your vitals. If it gets there
—your case is ended.
But you say, I have been such a great
sinner, I am afraid Jesus will not hear my
prayers. You have been such a great sin
ner ? Then this is a stronger reason why
you shoald begin at once to pray to Jesus.
Your being a great sinner is no reason why
Jesus should cure you unasked, is it? But
your being such a great sinner is no reason,
either, to cause you to think that Jesus will
not hear your prayers. He has said, “ Who
soever cometh unto me I will in no wise cast
out.”
Paul was a great sinner. Ha nstnomod
himself the chief of sinners, and yet Jesus
did not turn him away. “He came to seek
and to save that which was lost.” He came
to be Friend.
But how do I know that he will hear my
prayer for this temporal blessing ? But how
do you know that he will not ? Is there a
doubt upon your mind? Will you consent
to lie here, becoming more and more emacia
ted, getting worse and worse, and perhaps
lose your life and your soul too, because you
have a doubt on your mind ? What madness
this is ! Suppose you should pray to him
and have your prayer heard and answered ?
Suppose he should disappoint your doubts,
by bending his ear to listen to your prayers,
and stretch forth his hand, his mighty hand,
and deljver you from the jaws of-death, and
the chains of the grave ? These are impor
tant considerations on the other side.
May it not be that he has been praying
that you might be let alone yet another year
’till he should dig around your roots as one
would dig around a tree, to nourish it and
make it bear fruit ? And he has tried eve
ry thing, thus far, to no purpose. He has
torn you from loved ones, exposed you to
hardships, wooed you by his kindness to you
in preserving you ’till now, from all harm.—
Perhaps, you have been exposed to the dan
gers of the battle field, and from the dread
ful carnage and bloodshed and danger which
every where surrounded you, he has saved
you. While your companions were cut
down by your side and left for a while,
bleeding, dying and dead upon the field, he
has brought you out safely.
These have been his calls to you. These
have been the voices of his providences.—
These have been the diggings around your
heart. But you have not heeded any of
them.
This sickness is the last thing he will try.
He may now be waiting to see how you will
act. He is keeping you just as you are for
the very purpose of awakening in .you some
concern, some anxiety for your soul. If you
humble yourself, if you earnestly pray for
yourself—this may be the turning point for
time and eternity. He may say to the sick
ness which has prostrated you, it is enough;
or to the raging fever which almost distiacts
you—Peace, be still. He may cure your
bodily disease, and heal your soul. But if
you will not pray, he may say, after that,
cut it down , and you are gone for ever. No
medical skill, no assiduous care of kindest
nurse or most affectionate friend can keep
you from going down into the pit.
The Incarnation and Atone
ment.
In the incarnation and death of Christ
upon the cross, God withdrew the veil that
had hitherto concealed the most glorious at
tributes of his character, and in this new dis
closure infinite justice and infinite mercy
were seen in union, and sustaining each oth
er, and infinite compassion for a polluted,
ruined creature, fixed no stain upon his in
finite holiness.
His law was broken, and nothing less than
an infinite “sanction given to law when the in
finite God, the Lawgiver himself, bowed his
own head to the stroke, in order that law
might be honored, and man’s deliverance
made possible, without a violation cf justice.
Man had sinned, and God showed that his
abhorrence of sin is infinite and must be
eternal, when the Eternal Son gave himself
to die in order that sin might be arr®ted and
its pewer be broken. That, too, was an in
finite love which could induce God himself,
in the person of his Son, to stoop from the
highest heaven to the very nature and con
dition of the offender—to die that he might
live, to wash him in his own blood, to clothe
him in his own heavenly robes, to hail and
own him as a brother, to carry him back in
his arms to his own heavenly home, and sent
him among the angels, and in the presence
of the Father.
Thus every ray of light which comes to il
lustrate the character of God from the deep
bosom of the past eternity centres upon the
cross, and in the focal light the Godhead is
enthroned. The transaction at Cavalry be
comes the ground of unbounded confidence
in God, an exhibition of his manifold wis
dom; it becomes the bond of the universe,
the stability of the eternal throne ; and now
the faith and the worship and thelove of the
universe swell forth in the full exclamation,
“Worthy the Lamb that was slain.” In the
fifth chapter of Revelation we behold assem
bled the angelic hosts, gathered round the
throne of the crucified Son; and from all
these countless millions swells the loud burst
of confidence and praise. The angelic Bhout
rolls outward, a surging billow of song,
sweeping over creation’s fields, and then
heaven, earth, and sea join the high ascrip
tion, every tongue above and below utters its
voice, and creation heaves afar with tho deep
pulsations of this doxology of the universe.
Hark ! as it sinks away, the four living
creatures, the symbol of all created things,
cry Amen ! and then, all bowing low before
the Saviour’s throne, the last strains melt
and die in the silence of worship.
Piety and Courage.
“Sir Alexander Ball,” says Coleridge, in
his exquisite biographical sketch of that dis
tinguished British Admiral, the honatedfand
special friend of Lord Nelson, Sir Alexander
Ball quoted the speech of an old Admiral,
one of whose great wishes was to have a
ship’s crew composed altogether of serious
Scotchmen. He spoke with great reproba
tion of the vulgar notion, ‘the worse man,
the better sailor.’ Courage, he said, was
the natural product of familiarity with
ger, while thoughtlessness would oftentimes
turn into fool-hardiness; and that he had
always found the most useful brave sailors
the greatest and most rational of his crew.
The best sailor ho ever had was never heard
to swear an oath, and was remarkable for
the firmness with which he devoted a part
of every Sunday to the reading of his Bible.”
“I record this,” adds Coleridge, “with satis
faction, as a testimony of great weight, and
all respects unexceptionable.”
“I have often heard it said,” wrote Hed
ley Vicars, “ ‘The woise the man, the better
the soldier !’ Facts contradict this untruth.
Were I ever, as the leader of a forlorn hope,
allowed to select my men, it would be most
certainly from among the soldiers of Christ;
for who should fight so fearlessly and brave
ly, as those to whom death presents no af
ter terrors ?”
“You ought to be braver than rest of
us,” said some of the brother officers to Dab
ney Carr Harrison one day, after witnessing
some exhibition of his serene fearlessness in
danger.
“Why so?” said he, pleasantly. -
“Because,” said they, “you have every
thing settled for eternity. You have noth
ing to fear after death.”
“Well, gentlemen,” said he solemnly, af
ter a moment’s pause, “you are right. Eve
rything is settled; I trust for eternity, and
I have nothing to fear.”— W. J. Jlogc , D.

It is averse to talent to be consorted and
trained up with inferior minds, or inferior
companions, however high they may rank.
The foal of the racer neither finds out his
speed, nor calls out his powers, if pastured
out with the common herd, that are destined
for the collar and the yoke.—[Colton.
There is difference between knowledge
and temperance; for he who knowß what is
good and embraces it, who knows what is
bad and avoids it, is learned and temperate.
But they who know very well what ought to
be done, and yet do otherwise, are ignorant I
and stupid.—[Socrates. 1
Coming to Christ-
Is an act of ohoice, by which the soul
freely chooses him in preference to every- 1
thing besides. Are there any who do not 1
understand this? I will endeavor to be more ’
plain. Suppose that, while your attention
is occupied by various interesting objects, .
you see the dearest friend you have on earth
approaching at a little distance. Your hearts i
immediately drop the objects which had pre
viously engaged them; and, if 1 may so ex
press it, spring forward to meet and wel
come your friend before he arrives. So when
persons come to Christ, their hearts leave
the objects with whieh they had been occu
pied, fly to him with affectionate desire, and
cling to him as the supreme object of their
confidence and love. They see that he is
just such a Saviour as they need; they are
sweetly, but powerfully drawn to him by the
attractions of his moral glory and beauty,
and feel bound to him by bonds which they
have no wish to break. Hence coming to
Christ is elsewhere called ti usting in him,
and loving him.— Payson.
You may depend upon it, religion is, in
its essence, the most gentlemanly thing in
the world. It will alone gentilizc, if unmix
ed with cant; and I know nothing else that
will alone. Certainly not the army, whieh
is thought to be the grand embellisher of
manners.—[Coleridge.
If any man think it a small matter, or of
mean concernment, to bridle his tongue, he
is much mistaken; for it is a point to be si
lent, when occasion requires; and better
than to speak, though never so well. ‘
Rules for Holy Living.
XVI.—OF WORDS.
“Let your speech be always with grace!*
Avoid light, trifling, vain and and world
ly conversation. Never speak merely to ex
cite laughter.
Never speak without thought.
Never speak evil of any one.
Alwayrti&ttend the good of those whom
you are addressing.
XVII—OF ACTIONS.
•‘Do all to the glory of God.”
Frequently ask your heart if you are now
doing the will of God.
Accustom yourself to do everything in
the name of Jesus Christ, as His disciple.
Try that every day shall be marked by at
least one special work of love.
Wherever you go, inwardly pray that you
do no evil unadvisedly, but be the mean* of
some good.
XVIII.—OF REPROVING SIN.
Habituate yourself to speak to others o>
the concerns of salvation.
If reproof be necessary, “deal prudently,”
but never shrink from it to any one.
Be faithful, pointed, plain, and affection
ate.
Shew that you have the good of the re
proved at heart.
The Index for the Soldiers.
We see it intimated that various papors of
1 other denominations are being sent by thous
ands to cur brave soldiers in the Confederate
army, through tho generosity of Christians ;
and being desirous to have the Index, also,
circulated in the army, that the truths and
words of counsel it contains may reach those
so peculiarly exposed to death, we suggest to
our brethren the propriety of aiding in this
good work>* We are assured that nothing is
more welcome to tho soldier than religious pa
pers, and that they are always read with avid
ity. It is but a short time only that we have
to benefit our brave and self-sacrificing
soldiers ; n ihis way, and we should hasten to
embrace the opportunity to the extent of our
ability.

MORGAN AND HIS MEN.
jgQrl beg leave to announce to the public

GREAT NOVEL,
Os this second War of Independence, entitled
“RAIDS AND ROMANCE
OK MORGAN AND HIS MEN.”
By Sally Rochester Ford, of Louisville, Ky.,
author of “Grace Truman, Mary Runyan, Ro
mance of Masonry,” &c., &c.
Complete in one volume at $3,50.
The reader will be gratified to enjoy all the
exciting interest of a first class standard ro
mance, and all the information of a correct

On account of the scarcity of materials, we
were compelled to reduce this edition to a very
limited number, and it is very uncertain, for
