Emotional Religion.
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.

Iron In the Blood
MAKES THE WEAK STRONG,
" '1 ' * 'Oi.
The Peruvian Syrup, a Protected
Solution of the JProtoxUle of
<2roii. is so combined as to TiavO
the character of an aliment, as
easily digested and assimilated
with the blood as the simplest
food. It increases the qi&antUy ;
of Nature's Own Vitalizing
Agent, Iron in the blood, and
cures'*athousand Ms," simply
by Toning up, Invigorating and
Vitalizing the System. The eririched
and vitalized blood permeates
every part of tjie body,
repairing damages and waste,
searching out morbid secretions,
and leaving nothing for
disease to feed upon. I
This is the secret of the wonderful
success of this remedy in
Ckring Dyspepsia, liver Complaint,
Dropsy, Chronic Diarrhoea,
Boils, Nervous Affections,
Chills 0 and Fevers, Humors,
Iioss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of the Kidneys and
Bladder, Female Complaints,
and aU diseases originating in
a bad state of the biooa, or accompanied
by debility or a low
state of the system* Being free
from Alcohol, in any form, its
energizing effects are not followed
by corresponding reaction,
but are permanent, infusing
strength, vigor, and neuf
life into all parts of the system>?
and building up an Iron Constitution#
Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remedy, front
weak, sickly, suffering creatures,
to strong, healthy, and
happy men and women} and
invalids cannot reasonaMy hesitate
to give it a trial.
