A man wny acknowledge s Just debt, admit the oldigation to pay, and yd fail to tbe prompt liquidation. But Id us illustrate. Tbe great work of Joaiab, ktog of Judab, was a true reformatiou ; because the Uw was oovered in dust aod rubbish iu aa obscure uteke of tbe temple, aod the traditions of mea Usd been sab stttoted, and an abominable con-up tifw lu doctrine filled the laud. Alter the acroll of tlie law bad been foopd, Hhaphati read it to tlie king. Tim contrast tietwacu purity and corruption area apymrent from tbe b*$tontog. Aa be read on the cou trad widened until tbe good tuan real bis clothes in grid and horror at the depth of error into which be and his people bad fallen. Heim mediately instituted mean* to renter* tha truth. Tbe Spirit of God went with hi* truth and the (icopJc were revived ami saved. Tbe work of Hera was a pare revival; because s defect in praciior, rather than a cor rapUoti is docti-ine tlemsuded it. In tbe first instance we bare a reform a- tion, accooi}tallied or at least im me diately *«weeded by a great revival, ia the other we bare a revival without % reformation in doctrine. Again: We speak of tbe Reforwni- tom of the XVI. century , under I/O (her and hia co adjutors, the history of which ought to be familiar to •vary Lutheran ; bat we never «ay the reformntun of 8|iener and Franke. We say the rtrienl of Sfieiier, be- cause tbe doctrine was not so cor rupted as to call for a rcformatiou; but religtou* practice was at so low aa wbb that (lie good mou pray ed iu aighs and groan* ami tear*; Wilt thorn not retire me again, that thy pro pfe aay rejoice in thee f The aovoa apocalyptic ebuirhe* ia Asia are generally admitted to be representative. They represent the entire ebiircb. either in seven differ- «B4 mages or ,in seven different |«eriods of her rxislenoe. or }H‘rba|>8 both. The **aageP or minister is ad dressed in each chnrch, and tlie myi- ister is to read tbe cnmuiuiiicatukii to his congregation. In (lie eounuuni- oUka itself, the luember* are inclu- a (led with the minister. Thus all, minister ami people, become learners frvMa a higher authority of instruc tion. Tlie exhortation is uniform to alt, “Lrt him that hath an ear hear whs* the Bfdrit saith to the churches.” lint bow doe* the Spirit *|M>ak to the charcbe*! Evidently through the word of truth, that i*, he imparts life ami energy to the bearer, by quick oning or preparing ia bis own way, the heart auil mind for the reception of the living word ; jnat ms the photo- graplier ptv|*an*s the dead card, and lender* it sensitive fur the action of the living light, by w hich tlie image is formed. It must Iw remembered that the xmrd never dies. It always live*, sud only man dies sitd needs reviving. Again, what doe* the Spirit say to the churches ! Does be ini}tart any new qMMHuigv, any new revela tion ! t Vila inly not.
