Our Richmond Correspondence. RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 17,1803. SabhalhDesecration—Revivalists-llalf-hours with my Hymn-book —Ministerial Support Niggardly Churches —Plan to pay Pastors —Subscriptions to Religious Jour nals—The Lecture Season—Dr. Hoge’s 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 ! LTNCONNUE. Receipts for The Banner. Miss P. B.
