v - *'§ l -, From an tfkay on the I)iiiae Authority OF run he iv •fp. srjMEVTy By D KVtb'jSQGXJp: Men never get before the New Testa ment. For centijnes' past, ti e world hat ’ be''o state of gradual improve rntvu. which is ‘till increasing with accelerated rapidity. Ancient ages, even most rendwneA, we hare far out stripped in evtrv by means of modern discoveries- their most famous books are found ex trerrtly deficient. W ithin the limits of the eighteenth c<*nturv, this has been remarkably the case. How mmy treatises regarded as master pieces, at the pegmuing, were look er? upon fcs antiquated, before the end. Vv heft we consider the intense appli cation. of thousands of enlighened and highly cultivated minds, all in quest of new discoveries, and all en <!’ i.voiiiing to improve on what was . written before, tie shall not wonder at this advancement. We a.’ ndlurully led to enquirej bow it is in reference to religion, and whether-the New Testament stands its ground. A full proportion of lehrned “men have applied themselves to the study of the principles .of reli gion and morals, arid to those sci ences connected with them, Which hafVe re sp ect to moral obligation and privilege. But .have any of them out stripped ifte N 2'v Testament,ms the moderns have outstripped the andient philosophers l Have.they found out J any part of the character of God | Ivhjj|h it does not display ; or any | dntv, widen it does not inculcate ?—• No : after ail their researches, and with ad the additional knowledge of eighteen cenuirics, thev have nos itkjv I » step before it. Nay, tuey may perceive the New atiH before them. ‘ , In t.iese latte i times many conceive tha* c >n .iderahlc progress h.** been ihade ui the knowledge of that part of morals whitfh respects individual, and domestic* but especially nation-* , al relations. After having viewed these pretensions, which profess to | ifoa.ve their basis fixed on tiie princi- ‘ pfle-> us eternal justice, let us turn to the New Testament, aftxt ekamme j if tiiese men have outstripped it.— Hut ve iind there all tnese noble sen- , the force, and extent of • ht.'.h were not perceived before, ■ Ta» are applicable to what is good in iht m and »o those things which $r realty improvement*; md coun naociog and enjoying tne in bv the ! Spirit of tile gospel. Is it not aston- \ inning. that whenever any useful dis- i covery in moral science has be/nr ’ in vde. it is found that toe N*w Tes tam nt contains it, th ugh unnoticed before ♦ Inis bus need me case IYo n’ ten ury to century : it is so still ; an t no doubt, there are manv divure prmciples ot morals in this book, WtW. i the i#ogress in kvio wledge, of mU and future agifsf will enaoie jnyn to perceive. e But wiience comes tins peeoh&v quality i ThcJ vast c >.:ip cHebsive ’knowledge of tne ipirit or Jfo t woo indr'.ed it. can alode oe assigned as a rational, and satisfactory cause. If Christianity had oeeti tne invention of men, it would nave -shared the fate of ail other systems of the like origin : Tne improvements ojf mo-* dem Limes would have left it lar be hind. , ‘ ‘ ■ t his bas been :he case with all the pagan religions. A\ person in tiv* present age, who had written >n theon)gic fJpnojects, i-hough of mode rate abilities, instead of considering it as a comgjiment, would think him self grossly insulted, if you ware to say to him, I tduure your nook : yotu ideas of God and religion are fully on a level with the Grecian my tlvdogy, the Indian 1 Ghasiers. and toe system of GthlfucfiMk*’ Nor would be think that justiceavas donemimv Unless it were granted,• that be had surpassed the Koran hi Mahomet, in his i c presentafionrs of ti inn and du ty. But the plain illiterate fisher men, publicans, -and tt iu-makers of Judea and Galilee, after the lapse of eighteen centuries, are still mailers .in religion and morals. No iban in all tliat* time has stepped one foot before them-—L*ei mose. *who will Hot allow tnat 4hey were taught of God, assign a satisfactory reason for their pre-snn,»ence. ff . „ Cofj 1 utter frni Coin Chrtancey to the Secretary of the Navy % dated Uni • ted States* Ship Sackett's //ci- ir, fune 20, 181-4. ~ s>lU Kuo .vmg tnat tiie enemy wis cookuiufy »;eceivmg naval and nui'tai y stores at Kingston by the St. L . c icc\ i \uougu it m gnt bt pr.u;:!c.-ic surprize and capture a ft ; , iip. of bovis Ywitn st»r;s oa bo..rh,.‘»nT, ptiier to destroy of ur,ng|* < h y * iv ’ *tv* * * _ •*: - only jtoefo* crews & one *se catefi bd<ft, and proceeded down < a §t.
