poet Ty.
The Child's Guardian Angel.
Each little child that secs the light
In hut or palace grand,
Has for his guidance, day and night,
A hidden Angel’s hand;
That hidden angel, kind and strong,
Conducts him step by step along.
When sinks to sleep the weary head,
The angel never sleeps;
But round the 1>» le trundle-bed
His silent vigil keeps.
When storms alarm the older breast,
He keeps his little charge at rest.
And when the light and bounding heart
Is pleased with play or toy.
The blessed angel takes a part
In all its childish joy ;
And but for guardian angel's cares.
How few would reach to hoary hairs.
It gives an angel joy to find
A child that loves to pray;
To see it gentle, good and kind,
And cheerful to obey;
And -when he meets an angel friend,
He loves his darling to commend.
But wen a child begins to stray,
Nor heeds his mother’s word ;
Neglects his father to obey,
And sins against the Lord;
It makes the angel very sad
To see his child perverse and bad.
And if from worse to worse be speeds,
Rebellions in his heart,
Nor e’er reforms his evil deeds,
The angel must depart,
And carry up a sad report
To read before the heavenly court.
But if a child, however small,
Is pions, good and true.
The Lord himself, who knows it all,
Keeps that good child,in. viexg.
And sends him many an angel arm,
To guard him night "and day from harm.
Remember, children glad and gay,
That angels pure and bright
Are round about yon every day,
And round your bed by night ;
And God himself the Great, the High,
Is always looking from the sky.

EXAMINATION OF THE TESTIMONY
OF THE
FOUR E VANG E LI STH,
BY THE RULES OF EVIDENCE ADMINISTERED
IN COURTS OF JUSTICE.
BY SIMON GREENLEAF, LL. 1).
§ 1. In examining the evidences of the
Christian religion, it is essential to the discov
ery of truth that we bring to the investiga
tion a mind freed, as fir as possible, from
existing prejudice and open to conviction.
There should be a readiness, on our part, j
to investigate with candor, to follow the
truth wherever it may lead us. and to sni>-
mit, without reserve or objection, to all
the teachings of this religion, if it be found
to be of divine origin, “There is no other i
entrance,” says Lord Bacon, "to the king
dom of man, which is founded in th ■ sci
ences, than to the kingdom heaven, into
which no one can enter but in the eharac- !
ter of a little child." The docility which
true philosophy requires of her disciples is
not a spirit of servility, or the surrender
of the reason ami judgment to whatsoever
the teacher may inculcate ; but it is a mind
free from all pride of opinion, not hostile
to the trqth sought for, willing to pursue
the inquiry and impartially to weigh the
arguments and evidence, and to acquiesce
in the judgment of right reason. The in
vestigation, nmreover, should, be pursued
with the seriotks earnostm which becoims
the greatness bt the subject --a subject
fraught with such
to mam It should be prsn<<f .--|L tI.V

omniscience, and el our ;i<-< ijinitaLility '•
him for the right use of the faculties which
he has bestowed.
<2. In requiring this candor and situ
plicity of mind in those who would inves
tigate the truth of our religion, Christianity ;
demands nothing more than is readily con
ceded to every branch of human science.
All these have their .lata, and their axioms ;
and Christianity , t ><•, has her fit st principle
the admission of which is essential to any j
real progres in knowledge. ‘•Christianity. .
says Bishop Wilson, “inscribes on the. j»<»r- ,
tai of her dominions, hosoever shall
not receive the kingdom of' God as a little
child, shall in nowise enter therein."
Christianity dot s not proie-s to convince 1
the perverse mid headstrong, to bring irre
sistihle evidence to the daring and profane,
to vanquish the proud scorner, and afford
evidences from which the careless and per
verse cannot possibly escape. This might
go to destroy man’s responsibility. All
that Christianity professes, is to propose
such evidences as may satisfy the meek, the
tractable, the candid, the serious inquirer.”
tj 3. The present design, however, is not
to enter upon any general examination < f
the evidences of Christianity , but to confine
the inquiry to the testimony of the Four,
Evangelists, bringing their narratives to
the tests to which other ewdence is sub
jected in human tribunals. The foundation
of our religion is a basis of tiict- the tint
of the birth, ministry . miracii s, death, res
urreetion, and as.-cn-ion of Jesus Christ.—
These are related by the Evangelists as
having actually oe mred. within their own '
persona! knowledge. < »m- religion, then,
rests on the credit due to these witnesses.
Are they worthy of imp!.. it Is” in i'
matters which they relate .’ This is the
question, in all human tribur. ds, j ;i , I
to persons testifying before them ; and w<

fbr the arguments and prix <. th, fa,t will
here be assumed as trt. 1 • > a
rvbg us bv.mg. js ut .verv .y < :. .
it has been ses-ii to :v tr .r.—
He is ev ery where a worshipper. In ewrv
age an.! country. and in every stage, from
Jhe highest intellectual culture to the lark
vst stupidity, he bows with homage t a
sut-ermr Being. Be ,t the rude carved idol
of. Ma own tabt.cation, or the unseen diviu*
that stirs w... n h,..i, it is st.l! the ob-
ject of his adoration. This trait in the
character of man is so uniform, that it may 7
safely be assumed, either as one of the
original attributes of his nature, or as ne
cessarily resulting from the action of one
oi’ more of those attributes.
§ 5. The object of man’s worship, what
ever it be, will naturally be his standard
of perfection, lie clothes it with every at
tribute, belonging, in his view, to a perfect
character ; and this character he himself
endeavors to attain. lie. may not, directly
and consciously, aim to acquire every vir
tue of his deity, and to avoid the opposite
vices ; but still this will be the inevitable
consequence of sincere and constant wor
ship. As in human society men become
assimilated, both in manners and in moral
principles, to their chosen associates, so in
the worship of whatever de’ y men adore,
they “form to his the relish of their souls.’
To suppose, then, that God made man ca
pable of religion, and requiring it in order
to the development of the highest part of
his nature, without communicating with
him, as a father, in those revelations which
alone could perfect that nature, would be a
reproach upon God, and a contradiction.
§ <j. How it came to pass that man, orig
inally taught, as we doubt not he was, to
know and to worship the true Jehovah, is
found, at so early a period of his history, a
worshipper of baser objects, it is foreign to
our present purpose to inquire. But the
fact is lamentably true, that he soon be
came an idolater, a worshipper of moral
abominations. The Scythians and North
men adored the impersonations of heroic
valor and of bloodthirsty and cruel re
venge. The mythology of Greece and of
Rome, though it exhibited a few examples
of virtue and uoodue.ss. abmmdeil in oth
ers gruss iiceiitii’ii'iiess as.d vice. The
gods of Egypt were reptiles, and beasts
and birds. The religion of Central and
Eastern Asia was polluted with lust and
cruelty, and smeared with blood, rioting in
deadly triumph, over all the tender affect
ions of the human heart and all the con
victions of the human understanding.—
i Western and Southern Africa and Polyne-
I sia are, to this day, the abodes of frightful
j idolatry, cannibalism, and cruelty ; and the
aborigines of both the Americas arc ex
j ainples of the, depths of superstition to
i which the human mind may be debased.
In every quarter of the world, however,
there is a striking uniformity seen, in all
the features of paganism. The ruling prin
ciple of her religion is terror, and her deity
is lewd and cruel. \\ hatever of puritv
the earlier forms of paganism may have
possessed, it is from history that it was of
brief duration. Every form, which history
has preserved, grew rapidly and steadily
worse and more corrupt, until the entire
j heathen world, before the coming of Christ,
was infected with that loathsome leprosy
: of ] Jiuti >n, lbs. i iiicd with rexoliiii2 xiv-
I illness by St. Paul, in the beginning of his
Epist!,. to th ‘ Romans.
7. So general and decide I was this
! proclivity to the worship of strange gods,
j that, at. the time of the deluge only one
i family remained faithful to Jehovah ; and
; this was a family which had been favored
I with his special revelation. Indeed it is
i evident that nothing but a revelation from
i God could raise men from the degradation
of pagan idolatry, because nothing else has
ever had that effect. If man could achieve
his own freedom from this bondage, he
would long since have been free. But in
stead of this, the increase of light and civ
ilization and refinement in the pamm world
has but multiplied the, objects of his wor
ship, added voluptuous refinements to its
ritual, and thus increased the number and
Weight of his chains. In this respect there
! is no difference in their moral condition, !
! between the liirb.irous Scy thian and the
i 1> irued Euvp’.Gn or Roman of amieiit
L ■ ■,■ i ■. -is T-MaU- qjUvUiU.l .llrivau
! and the polished Hindu <>F offr ovvn <bay.-
The only im th'pl, which has been success
: fully employed to deliver man from idol-
■ atry , is that of presenting to the eye of his
! soul an object of worship perfectly holy
land pure, direct! v opposite, in moral ehar
j aeter to the gods lie had formerly adored.
| 11” could not transfer to his deities a bet
i ter character than he himself possessed.—
: He must forever remain enslaved to his
: idols, unless a new and pure object of wor
] ship were revealed to him, with a display
lot superior power sufficient to overcome
! his former faith mid present fears, to detach
. his affections from gro-.s-.-r objects, and to
li\ them upon that which alone is worthy,
this is precisely what God, as stated intiie
Holy Scriptures, has done. 11- re-cued
one family from idolatry in the Ohl \\ oi I 1,
by the I’x-v elation of' himself to Xoali ; he
, called a dist'met branch of tins family to
ia knowledgx’ of himself, in the person of'
Abraham and his sons; || v extrude I this
j favor to a whole nation, through th ■ minis
try of Moses; but it was through that of
Jesus ('heist ab>ne that it was commnuiva
i ted to the whole wm 11. In Egvpt. ly the
•- dcstrui tioli of all the objects m the popti
: lar worship, God taught the Isr.i lites that
'he .-I'enc was the s. 11-existent Almighty.
At the Red S. ,i. lie emphatically showed
them that he was the Protector an- iv i r
iof his ]>eoph . At Sinai, he reveal- I him
self as the righteous Governor who m
j quired implicit obedieius' tor men, and
! taught them, by the strongly marked dis
, titivtiolis ’ f the cervinonia! law, that he
was a h lv Being, of purer eyes than to
I behohl evil, and that <- :1 I not !•>••!< upon
