Lectures— Congress.
Dear Banner :
A stranger at the capital, on a Sabbath
day, would see a very strange sight, if he
ehould visit the hall of the House of Repre
sentatives. Instead of finding it closed, as
other places of business art on that day, he
would see the doors wide open, and the hall
filled with honorable members who have
resorted there to talk over the news of the
day, or to dispatch letteis to their corres
pondents at home. The Sabbath is, with
many members of Congress, anything but a
day of rest. It is rather the busiest day of
the week. One exemption from labor alone
do the members enjoy on a’Sunday —they
do not hear Mr. Foote. It occurs to me
that a happy method to break up these heb
domadal assemblages would be to announce
a Sabbath lecture in the hall by the “mem
ber from Tennessee.” This would, doubt
less, insure an empty house, and ever after
members who now frequent the hall would
be found where they ought to be—at some
one of the many churches of the city, lis
tening to the discourse of some able divine,
instead of frittering away the precious Sab
bath in secular employments. What a pity
that Sabbath breaking should be so univer
sal an offense ! It would delight u.s if the
Congress .would set a better example, and
should refrain from this disregard of God’s
holy day. While such practices continue,
we may not hope, for any improvement of
the laws concerning Sabbath work, for
which one of the editors of your paper has
been toiling so earnestly.
A letter-writer in the Religious Herald
refers to a class of ministers who are busy
in getting up revivals. He says “the get
ters up of revivals are many times to be
shunned as you would shun a plague or the
pestilence.” He relates the following inci
dent: “A good man whom I formerly
knew, used to carry about with him a book
in which he put down, with great exactness,
all the conversions at the several meetings
he attended. He paraded this book among
his acquaintances, and there was manifest
elation at what ho deemed his great success.”
This writer is right in saying that such an
example is not to be commended. It has a
tendency to beget spiritual pride, if it be
not spiritual pride itself. And, by the way,
just here is one of the evils resulting from
the public efforts of revivalists —not a few
of them indulge in a spirit quite alien from
the Gospel, and are apt to appropriate to
themselves the glory due to God’s infinite
grace. Poor, feeble man has no power to
convert the soul ; and when his labors are
blessed with the conversion of souls, it
ought to beget within him a deeper humility
and a profounder sense of his dependence
upon God.
You have noticed Gaius’ “ Half-hours
with my Hymn-book,” in the Religious
Herald. The subject is an attractive one,
and I hope that the articles will be sufficient
ly matured to justify their republication in
book form. The subjects of the two first
articles were “ The Fountain,” of two oth
ers “ The Hindrances to Prayer,” the last,
on the “Star of Bethlehem.” This contains
an extractable passage, which 1 quote to give
your readers a taste of the quality of the
articles :
“There seem to be (says the writer) but
two topics which engage the poet’s atten
tion —the tempest-tost mariner, and the
star which points the way and directs his
path :
•Once on the raging sea# I rode,
The storm was ioml, the night was dark ;
The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed
The wind that tossed my foundering bark .
Deep horror then my vitals froze;
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem,
When, suddenly, a star arose—
It was the Starot Bethlehem.’
The metaphor is transparently clear. Life
is the ocean ; the sinner is the mariner ; the
surging sens are the tempests of passion
which assail him ; the loud storm, the dark
night, the yawning ocean, are the perils to
which he has but just realized his exposure.
A moment more, and he founders his bark,
and its precious, priceless cargo, the soul,
sinks forever beneath the yielding wave—
sinks t<» rise no more. The peril is too
great to endure unappalled. There is a
sudden horror, a freezing of the blood at
the vitals. Just then hope beams upon the
mariner. The darkness of the night cannot
quench the ray of the radiant star. It
pierces through the blackness of (lie storm.
It sends its silvery sheen across the howling
tempest and over the raging waves. It rests
on the path of the despairing one ; he gath
ers new courage; he looks up to his Com
forter, and now he has passed the dangerous
shoals and angry breakers, and now the
surging waves have lashed themselves of
their furv.and are being quieted.and assume
their natural flow, and now the haven is in
sight, and uow the port is entered and the
mariner is sate. But tor the light ol the
guiding Star, he had perished in mid ocean ;
but fur its cheering, consoling, directing
rays, he had never reached the haven of se
curity.”
THE BAPTIST BANNER.
The idea of the “ Half-hours” is to inter
mingle religious biography and experience
with reflections on the sentiments contained
in the hymns. If this idea be carried out
successfully, I do not know a more attrac
tive and useful 'theme for a religious
work.
The subject of ministerial support is at
tracting much attention. 1 met withan in
■ cident in the Herald which is worth men
tioning. A contributor writes: “1 know
a young minister who has a family to sup
port by his own exertions, who has spent
1 four or five thousand dollars in educating
' himself for the ministry, and whose whole
1 property is hardly worth what his education
' has cost, and yet I know the fact of his hav
' ing preached for six months, every Sunday,
and frequently twice on a Sunday, together
1 with occasional sermons and other services
1 during the week, to a church in one of the
wealthiest neighborhoods in .the land, and
' he never received a cent for bis labor du
r ring the time. The congregation increased
3 rapidly during his six months’ preaching;
the membership was considerably enlarged ;
3 some twenty persons were baptized into the
fellowship of the "church ; the preacher was
frequently applauded by individual, mem
bers, and twice by the church as a body, for
his zeal, energy, and devotion to his work ;
and .yet, not one cent was'contributed to his
support.” I suppose tnis is rather a re
markable case. Churches are not, in gene
ral, so negligent of their duty as the one to
which reference is made by this waiter; but
there was sad negligence before the war, in
this matter, and ministers must now lay
aside their calling'uuless” they are better
supported. The reasons for the support of
the ministry are so obvious and controlling
that I wonder the duty should ever be ne
glected. A pastor birdened with home
cares, and embarrassed with pecuniary diffi
culties is, in great degree, disqualified for
the duties of his calling. He is apt to bring
the Gospel into reproach by incurring debts
he can not discharge. The honor of the
pastor ought to be dear’to his people and
they should, in no contingency, allow it t°
suffer through their neglect. I hope there
will I e an enlarged liberality among all the
churches in this'matter. 1 am sure that
along with this increase of support there
will be an increase of the gospel work ; and
it will be' much’ deplored if, while the
churches arc, many of them, receiving the
gracious influence.of the Spirit, and are be
ing revived, there should be a r-dative dim
inution of tluFsupport of the Gospel. A
writer in the Central PrenbyterianpubYished
a feasible plan of relief for the churches in
the country. It is this: that the farmers in
each congregation, without, delay, furnish
their ministers with pork, beef, and flour,;
in such quantities as may be needed, instead
of paying a fixed salary as heretofore. —
These things really cost the producers very
little more than they ordinarily do ; and the
writer referred to very properly suggests
that what the farmers sell w others at the
present enormous pi ices willfully compen
sate them, and not feel thecontri
buttons.
You have,’ perhaps, noticed that the
Southern Presbyterian \s “enabled by the
contributions of its patrons, to send five
thousand copies to the army.” This ought
to be imitated by the friends of other pa
pers throughout the Confederacy. While
political papers are being circulated by the
twenty and thirty thousand, there is no rea'
son why the same circulation should not be
given to the religious journals of the Con
federacy. For my own part, I would rather
lose any other than the weekly visits of my
religious instructor. I never lay it down
without receiving some instruction of value,
or being inspirited anew to the performance
of some religious duty.
Our lecture season has opened quite at
tractively. Dr. Hoge, of this city, who has
visited Europe recently, has been delivering
a series of lectures on his observations in
Europe. His second lecture was delivered
on Tuesday evening, the 15th instant. He
gave a flattering account of the London cler
gy, and in the course of his remarks, paid a
handsome, tribute to Spurgeon, and to other
Baptist ministers. The Doctor noticed the
universal attention paid, to fresh air by the
Britons, and attributed to their fondness for
out-of-door exercise their great longevity
and vigor of life, and;capacity for intense
intellectual labor. II is description of a day’s
work by Lord Palmerston, now in his 80th
year, was truly marvellous.
I Congress has done nothing yet —the com
• mittees are at work, and will probably get
- business in some shape for ac.ion b\ the
earlier part of next week. It seems to I e
understood that those who have put in sub
( stitutes will be called upon to go in the ar
' mv themselves. Some outsiders regard this
’> as a breach of faith on the part of the Gov
ernment, but the Secretary of M ar an 1 Mr,
! Davis sax it is not. Having no persona
’ interest in the matter, farther than thebesi
' good ot the cause, I am prepared to give al
1 least an unbiased opinion. I am in favoi
of preserving our national faith from every
stigma of reproach ; and I sincerely believe
that if the Congress would thus act, both in
regard to this question and the financial
question, the country will incur ro loss. —
Edmund Burke once said, “the national
faith is a part of the national inheritance
and if this be preserved intact, we need
have no fear of the rest. May Heaven grant
our legislators vdsdom to direct the af
fairs of the people, at this crisis of their na
tional history. Observer.
[For the Baptist Banner.]
Tlie Closing Year.
Time and space, what are they ? Do
they belong to the world without or to the
world within, or to some mysterious and
inseparable ufiion of both departments ?
Who has not thought on the enigmas of
time and space ?—each baffling every effort
the mind fnay make. Where is the man,
or child even, who has not been drawn to
some contemplation of that wondrous
stream"on whose Uosorn we are sailing, but
of which we can conceive neither origin nor
outlet? that mysterious river, ever
sweeping us along by some irresistible
(force, and yet seeming to be so strangely
| affected by thc’internal condition of each
soul voyaging upon its surface.
This year is closing, and with it many
• pleasant drcams of future happiness. The
(gay spring is gone, with its atmosphere of
l roses, its birds telling their loves in music,
and its streams leaping from the up-piled
rocks, making the earth echo with the joy of
the waves.
And summer, withits dews and showers,
* has gone—its rainbows glowing on the dis
tant, cloud like spirits of the storm—its
peaceful lakes smiling in their sleep, as if
their dreams were of the spring flowers and
budding trees.
Autumn, too, has gone, with its deeper
glories—its cold winds straying among the
forest aisles, to make their thousand wind
harps—its serene and beautiful sunsets —all
gone !
One year comes, and another goes ; yet
I at the close of each our souls are filled with
! sad thoughts and painful reminiscences.—
Now,'the long buried Past moves before us,
(as we remember with how many good reso
i Jutions’we set out at the beginning of this
year. Have they all been kept ? Have
’we paid our vows ? Alas ! I fear but few
of us have reached the goal of our ambition !
. —few vs us have lived up to the standard
we erected for ourselves.
O, immortal beings ! will we thus negli
gently live 1 Will the close of life find us
lamenting the end of pleasure, instead of
rejoicing at the dawn of a glorious day?
Will it find us dreading the approaching
darkness, instead of gladly wclceming the
morning of a bright future? Will the
Bridegroom find us among the foolish vir
gins,’with our lamjs empty, instead of
trimmed and burning ? While time marches
on with rapid, I ut measured, paces, let us,
like faithful stewards arouse to our duty,
or our barque will sink into the bottomless
ocean of endless misery. Let prudence
spread the sails, and the Spirit of God.impel
them—let pure'and vital piety seize the
helm, and steer us in;o a'blissful eternity !
