Genuine religiou is not so much a matter of feeling us of principle. It be gins in right thinking, develops itself in right acting, and ends in a condition ol love to God and good will toward meu. The attempt to violate this order and tc jump at ouee into the enjoyment of re suits which are only to be reached b) long and patient labor, is a mistake which causes most of the discredit ink which religion and its advocates hav< fallen with the world at large. Th< transient excitement produced by sing iug, praying, and impassioned exhort ing which multitudes esteem the chie ulnmpnt nf rplicinns nxnerience. is found J?V.MV-V V. - - ? m practice, to be of so little avail ii making men honest and good, that i has ceased to command the respect o sensible people, and the real article o which it is a counterfeit comes to be de spised along with it. Whatever gushing orators and sensa tiooal prcachers may say to the contra ry, it is ?o more possible, in the ordina ry course of things, to pass dircctlj from a state of sinfulness into a trul] religious state tliau it is for a con/innei invalid to be at once restored to health There have, it is true, bceu eases of ini raculous spiritual as of miraculous cor poreal heiiliug, but they do not occui often. The only means that can be re lied ou, as a rule, to effect a radical an< permaueut cure req urns time zor us ?p plication. The spiritual teacher \vh< promises iustaut salvation to his follow ers is as much of a quack as the self styled physician who advertises to cur< diseases by simply giving his pills without change of diet or intcrferenci with business. Both may succeed ii giving temporary relief; but both in th< end are sure to leave their patients worst off than they found them. In religion, as in the mannagemen of bodily health, the one great point t< be steadily kept in view is abstinent from sin. Every physician of experi ence knows thatvif men could only re fraiu from improper eating, drinking and exposure, uine-tenths of thesicknes; of the world would immediately cease and the remaining tenth would uot be s( slow in passing away likewise. Th( science of medicine is every day becom iug less oue of drug-giving and mor< one of regimen. To find out the caus< of sickness and put a stop to it, is seei to be a much more sensible proceeding than to let the cause go on working imd only try to remedy its effects When the teachers of religion come t( the same conclusion, they will have rea son to expect success in their efforts t( reform the world, and not before. Christianity, the prevailing religior of this country, is, as we all know, base< upon Judaism. Its Founder cmphati cally declared that he did not come tc abrogate the Jewish law, but to explain and amplify it. The basis of that law is the Ten Commandments, which both Jew and Christian accept as stiil bind ins:, and which, indeed, are an integral portion of every religion in the world Of these Ten Commandmeuts, all bill one point out sins which are not to b( committed, without saying anything o: church-going, revivals, prayer meetings or hearing sermons. We are com rnanded not to worship other than th< one true God, not to take His name ir vain, not to labor ou the Sabbath-day not to steal or tell lies, nor murder, noi commit adultery, and, finally, not t( cherish even the desire of doing sucl things. It requires no argument t< show that, if men would only faithfully follow these few simple precepts, then would be an end ol sin, audeartu wouic become like heaven. The difficulty is, that, simple as thesi laws appear to be, they arc amazinglj hard to obey in practical life, and al sorts of expedients have been inventec to get around them. In devising thes< expedients none have been more zealou; than the ministers of religion themselves One fiction, which they have popular ized, is that it is impossible to obey th< L'ommaudmeuts, and that, therefore obedience is not necessary. As if Got would trifle with His creatures by en ioiniug upon them an impossibility Another infliction is that membership iu certain ecclesiastical organizations L 1 protection against the consequences ol disobedience?a kind of insurance poli 2y, as it were, against hell lire. Anoth' ir is, that no matter what sin we com mit, Jesus Christ has suffered our puir ishmeut for us, and therefore we shal] escape. To come fairly and squareh Dut witn the scriptural doctrine. "The soul that sinueth, it shall die," is the last thing that seems to be thought of Of course, it has been found that none rf these devices are succcssful ,iu pro iucing that peace and joy and contentment which are the fruits of a truly religious life, and further measures have bad to be restored to to supply the deficiency. To continue the parallel of the body and of the soul, the glow of health being wanting, its absence has been supplied by stimulants; just as the glutton takes brandy to relieve his indigestion, ar as opium is admiuistered to destroy the sense of pain. It is not too much to say, that nine-tenths of the existing mnnliinonr r*P i-n!irrinn linrl its nritrtri in the effort to produce a semblance oi irenuiuc fervor, in breasts which are sc filled with natural bad passions that there is no room for heavenly affections, riie corporeal titillation of exquisite music and architecture, the thrill oi jratory, and the rousing fervoi of congregational singing are made to do duty for the nobler aud higher earnestness that results from a life of strict obedience to the law of God. Aud the consequence is that, with millions, religion, us we have said, has come to be regarded as an affair of the emotions alone, without any necessary connection with honesty and virtue. It is seen thai there is no incompatibility between the most i'ervid religious experiences and thorough scoundrelism in ever}' day life, Eminent church-going Christians and eloquent talksrs about their love to Jesus, their sweet out-pourings of soul, and their ecstatic enjoyment of heavenlj contemplation, are found to be none th< less corrupt politicians, dishonest mer chants, tricky lawyers, and bad hus bands, fathers and citizens generally If abstinence from sin, in obedience u the divine laws, were made, as it ought tc be, the chief and prominent element o: religious life, all this would be avqjdcd If the world saw ^liat the professors anc ministers of religion were careful not t( i* ? ...... lie, uuirauu, uiuuigc iu icvcugo am adultery, nor in any way to wroug theii fellowmen, they would respect them ac cordingly, and their display of religioui emotion, instead of exciting contempt as it now too often does,would lead to * desire to share in its enjoyment.
