It, lfW-tf constituted the commerce of the place. In the primitive days of Madison there was little known of what is termed “religious differences,” or denominational jealousy.” The cit izens had been of one mind as to doc trines. Had sac under the ministry of one man, who had grown gray among this people. He was blue Pres byterian of the old puritan stock, so thoroughly was he indoctrinated in what is termed the “hard doctrine of election, &c. At length a Baptist preacher came, full of his peculiar belief; strong on the “baptism effica cy,” with tho atoning blood of Christ, The Baptist brother was zealous to make converts. Brought forth his powerful water arguments. “The bible baptism,” the only efficacious one. And being an earnest, sincere Christian, he created a devision in the ranks, and won over a number of Presbyterians. A favorite saying of this old veteran of the Baptists was ‘%e Pedo Baptists,” when they do turn over to us, make the grand est, best and most useful Baptists. Tho ltev. Dr. Judson, and his saint ed wife, are illustrations. By and by this faithful brother had a tine large church, with a tall cupola, large windows, beautiful painted seats; the church was brick, and was an ornament to the town. The dis cussions and arguments, in the new church, went on increasing in strength and power until bitter feel ings were aroused, and the brethren loved eaoh other less. Then, strange it is, “When religion is love, love to God and man;” yet all history shows no persecution is so bitter as religious persecution. Look at the religious wars of old. Think of the Spanish inquisition—the noble martyrs—all this under the name of religion. Ah, as the immortal Shukepeare said, “how often is the livery of Heaven borrowed for the devil’s service.” So contrary is all bitterness to the doc trines of “the meek and lowly Jesus,” who went about doing good; showing “love is the fulfilling of the law. 5 By and by some of tho grandees and aristocrats who had waxed rich and influential, went to the city of Baltimore, the commercial Queen of the Ohegsapeake—the grand focus of southern talent and culture. There they heard the griat and fashionable orators of the Episcopal church. Were completely charmed, yea, fasci nated. So much so, or their return the verdict was, after an ontusinstic consultation, “we musi right away build tin Episcopal church, that is tho church of our mother land.” They even went so far in their zeal as to wish it were tho established church of aristocratic Virginia, the best loved of the colonial daughters. So intense was the new love for Epis copacy, it spread, and good, faithful, and true Dr. Wal ou saw, with pain, a number of his richest, most valua ble members leave his church for the ranks of Episcopacy. Soon was erec ted a splendid church after the choic est plan of Grecian architecture. This became “The Church” of the town. The most fashionable, the moat aristodfrilic. it was carpeted and cushioned. Hud grand chan delier. Purple velvet hangings adorned the pulpit. A marble font of Italian workmanship was in the chanced. In short, the “church of the good Shepherd,” carried all. It was the favorite with old and young. And well it may he, with its glorious Litany—the beautiful, year sublime prayes; thrilling, nnd carrying us al most unconsciously to the feet of the “Divine Master.” The deep ton ed organ. The sublime Te De limits, Veuites Jubilantes, Benediote Benediotus, Oante Domino, the es sence of grandeur, thrilling one to tho very soul; thrilling the heart with penetential love, and carrying one in feeding, to the gates of the Heaven of Heavens. The young cannot help being fas cinated and won by the beauty deur and sublimity _of the servi ces of the Episcopal church. It touches the heart th rough the imag ination. Other churched may look to their laurels, for the attractions of this grand branch of the Christian church is destined to be a mighty that will christianize the world. Its increase is beyond a precedent in the annuls of church history. This tribute I must pay to u church 1 so greatly admire and tenderly love, al though a member of Dr. Walton’s church. Excuse the digression. Well, tho Baptist church ceased to grow, because less popular, and the dear old Presbyterian church, which for a half century, served the citizens of Madison, was regarded as behind the limes; the venerable minister al so. These innovations caused the moral innocence ol the place to de part forever. There came to the village a groat revival Methodist. lie drew im mensely, and Presbyterian ism suffer ed still more. The venerable minis ter’s voice found every Sabbath more and more oclioes from empty seats. What with the Baptists, their genteel preacher in white vest, fashionable dress coat and gold spectacles, and the grand Episcoynl church, with its learned And gifted Hector who had made the tour of Europe, hud dis cussed in Westminster, and trod the glorious aisles of St. Peters; aud, what with the Methodists, with their exciting and entrancing religion, preached with such zeal and earnest ness, the Lamb, Christ Jesus, so pre cious to a sin smitten world, no won der good old Dr. Walton, with his old church and old fashioned ortho* doxy, was given the cold shoulder, and on the brightest Sundays had no more that a rainy day congregation- A few dear friends; a Judge or so; his bald headed elders, a few mer chants, his family physician, with the remnant of “God’s poor,” stuck to the old minister, the dear, saintly, good man. There was no fund in Madison for ministers whose salaries fall short, to draw from. The great Head of the the church founded no hunk to pay worn out ministers, whoso lives have been spent in trying totwin souls to Christ. He draws at sight on men’s hearts and consciences These are the vaults in which He keeps His treasures to pay those who have spent their lives in preaching Christ and Him crucified. The Rev. Dr. Walton kept no bank book but his bible. The loss of his church members fearfully diminished his means of support Like Jacob old lie lmd a large family of sons and daughters; “the poor man’s heritage.” The home of ltev. Dr. Walton was a large dilapidated mansion. The chimney tops shattered by winds und storms, the boards loose, the whole house leaked every time it rained hard. Growing old and worn out like its master pitifully sighed the old minister. For thirty-two years he had occupied this dwelling—no sound of saw or hammer hud been heard (save what little unaided he himself had done with hammer and box of nails) during his residence in it, for every six pence the minister received had to repair the waste and tear of his own, his wife’s and oliil- ohildrens tabernacles, buy food and clothing, and little was left for the decaying house, so the winds und weather aided by old timo, hud its way with the old parsonage. The hard north gales laden with snow and sleet silted the icy cold through the crevices of the doors and win dows. Altogether it was a dreary abode—it had known better days— within the last twelve years the “con gregation” had met to raise a little money to better the old parsonage, but nothing beyond the “resolutions to raise,” had ever come of their lib erality. Of course now the congre gation had divided and subdivided and grown so small, the idea of spen ding money in repairs had to be giv en up for the more absorbing one of providing meat and bread for tho minister nnd his numerous lamily. A grand old man was Dr. Walton. 1 often thought of him “as one in whom there was no guile.” At the time of which we write he was about seventy years old—-tall and slender, with the calm elegant exterior “ot tho gentleman of the old school.” Re possessed that address and cour ly manner which characterizes ever the Christian gentleman—his hair was silvery white, his noble face wore a calm and finely subdued air of peace and patience. lie looked like one of the old up istles, have “learned to be content with what they have, and how to endure. There was a gentle ness and dignity in his aspect that awed even bud men, and won chil dren to his side. If a group of young persons were ut play they would stop until he passed eyeing him with re spect—so great reverence did he in spire—due to the excellence of his character. There was a knock at Dr. Waltons study door, the small room, was rendered still smaller by shelves of books and manuscripts which filled the sides of it. The rev erend old gentleman was seated at his tabic with a sermon before him. lie wore an old pair of slippers, a once black vest nnd pantaloons gray ish and shining with long use—nor were they without patches. As the door opened he looked up and saw uu -urchin with a note Ah! is it you, James, what have you? A paper sir, father told me “to fetch you,” answered the boy.” Dr. Walton took it and read as follows: Reverend sir: We regret to inform you that the subscriptions to your salary barely reach four hundred dol- lars t in8teacl of the nine hundred you have Jjere-to-fore received. Truly yours, John Stephens. Clerk of Session. The note was read again, and yet again. He grew a shade paler, the paper trembled in his hand, as one has seen the aspen shake when the branch was motionless and the wind still. He sighed after raising his eyes to heaven as he knew where to get consolation and hope for suffer ing humanity, he said the “will of the Lord be done,” He who fed the Prophet by seudiug the ravens, will not suffer me or my little ones to want for bread. Four hundred dol lars, it will hardly pay my bills for last year at the stores. So many lit tle mouths to feed. This is a bitter, bitter hour to me. Are my people tired of the old minister, who has served them so long? Do they think I am too old to preach? Why is it they leave me, as men desert a house that 1ms sheltered them from storms so many winters. Do they think we too antiquated—behind the progress ive age? He gazed out of the win dow at the beautiful geranium of bis daughters. See how many leaves that plant has yet all are as green nnd fresh ns if it bore bn tone, There e a thousand acorns on yonder tree, yet each receives as mnoh nourish ment as one does from the good G >d« We are of more value than many leaves; many acorns, many sparrows. These were the last thoughts of good old Dr. Walton. He had d *no enough. God a»W it and took him to heaven. An hour after his receiving the note, his daughter entered tho study. Ho was in his arm chair deud„.. A beautiful calm Wus on his face. It was sad, subdued, Showed he hud suffered even in death. The sorrow ful pitiful expression on his beauti ful benevolent face was touching in its very suffering, llis sufferings en ded with his dying breath, lie h at. r st. in the m»n ions above. Oh, the terrow of his afflicted church when informed of his death so soon utter receiving the cruel note telling him they could no longer support him. Oh, then they remembered his many virtues. That be preached faithful ly his two sermons every sabbath, and when too late they remembered they were better and better;breathed more ol heaven. Like bread cast, up on the waters, brought forth Iruit many days after. Yes, then they re membered their faithful pastor. At tended his Wednesday evening pruy- r meeting, his Friday evening aot- uru, the .Saturday service preparatory to communion, was never neglected.
