For some dnvs previous to iho election many of onr citizens felt nervous as to the possible result of the iinpondinur * irciuui ?n hi! > vvjuiuy, 110 less uuwi iiiry \ feared tho danger which threatened the I Tntiro State ticket. Stirring .".p-1 peals from the various newspapers, pa* tiiotic addresses by tho campaign orator**, together, had a tendency t<? create a feeling of uncertainty, and to foster a dread of a defeat at the polN, but our people did their fall duty yesterdaj*. They forgot their past grievances from which they had suffered within the party lines, and with almost a solid vote supported | the Democratic ticket, and the result has I h*>en all that could have been desired. "With patriotic voters, and honest and faithful managers of election, everything passed oil" satisfactorily to everybody, I both black ?ud white. Oriv County ticket will bo elected by a solid vote. Our Stato ticket, and our member to Congress will receive majori- j ties in this County, averaging more than two thousand. Does anybody want! *nore ? I Our Victory Yesterday. It is with unfeigned pleasure that i our readers will hear to-day, that the' Democratic party of South Carolina won I yesterday a most signal victory at the I polls. By dispatches from Columbia, which appear in another part of the J'rcss and Banner, It will be seen that South Carolina is still true to herself, and that her sons are still steadfast and Joyal to the principles of honesty and good government. The people may rest in tranquility. Good government is assured to them for two years longer, and j the opponents of decency, the haters of' respectability, and tbe despoilers of hon-1 est government have been most thor-1 oughly vanquished. They are dofeated \ $ n D\?n??tT /*nnnf v nnrl thn ir*l.-nf will ! have a clear majority of fifty thousand. Is that not glor}- enough for one day ? Killed by Negroes. A rumor pained enrrcnoy on our! streets last Monday that a great riot had j occurred at Hampton in which seven j white men had been killed by negroes, i and everybody at Abbeville seeniGd anx-! ions to laarn the particulars. Tho daily | papers were seized last night at tho post ollice, and every copy was examined for the particulars of tho bloody alfrav. The papers state that tho negroes killed a \vhito policemna, and cut and wounded four or five others. Tho guilty parties have escaped. If that fuss had occurred in this necghborhood, the probability is that tho whites would have gotten in -some good shooting. The Election. The election progressed qnietlvall day. 'I ho business houses of tho town wore closed, tho white men stood abmit the polls, the court house, and on the sr/nare, while a majority of our colored citizens went gunning. The whole town had more the appearance of a Sunday than of a general election uny. This was tin first election under the registration law, and tho difference in the size of the crowd was a noticeable feature. Under tho new law tho voter is required to cast his ballot at tho precinct where ho may have registered, and this requirement together with the fact that no citizen, who had neglccted to register, could vote, prevented repeating and the massing of our citizons at any of the precincts. A much smaller number of colored citizens presented themselves at Abbeville yesterday than on any previous similar occasion. With very few exceptions tho town darkeys paid no attention to the election. Many of the country darkeys who came to town yesterday had been provided with Greenback tickets. A large part of this class of our citizens are not regular readers of any of mo county f' papers, and as a consequence, many of them wore not informed as to what was their duty in the matter, nml had not conformed to the plainest provisions of the registration act. Some had not been registered at all. Others thought it unnecessary to bring their registration tickets. Others had eomo from a different precinct. Others had registered by one name, und proposed to vote under another entitle. Of course all such citizens, as had no* complied with every requirement of the law, lacked the necessary qualification, and could not have a voice in the election. Another class, and bj' far the larger number of our colored citizens, indignantly refused to vote the Greenback ticket when they learned that the man at the head of that ticket ITad once been a Ku Klux Democrat. The elections were in the Court IIousc. Tho State election being hold on the centro table in the Court room, and tho Congressional election in the door of one of ;the jury rooms. It seems that Russell, 'the Greenbacker, whom it had been alleged was a candidate for Congress "against Aiken, had neither tiekots nor friends hero yesterday. Russell did not receive a vote. Aiken got nearly every one. The State ticket was as follows : For Governor: Hush S. Thompson , ....258 J. II.

Reports reachod us last night that the ' rtadir-als yotod twice as many Greenback i tickets at this box, as tho Democrats, polled. Cokcsbury. The voting at this box to-day may be , considered somewhat discouraging to tbe j prosperts of the Greenback-Labor-Ke-; form - Poor - Man's - Anti - Respectability j party. Two hundred and sixty-live votes were polled at this precinct, and upon a1 close scrutiny of the ballots, after open-! ing tho respective boxes, it was ascertain- j ed that a solid Democratic vote had been cast, except in four or live instances,' tho Legislative candidates were scratch-1 ed. Dcnaldsvilic. j The voting to-day at this box was pretty much all one way. The Democrats polled 100 votes, while the Green backers marshalled but ono solitary citizen who <vas willing to cast his suffrage for them. Due West.

The election was quiet, and without any special incident worthy of note. As will be soen by the vote as given below, it will be observed that our poople iiereabout are very nearly evenly divided on the County question.

In making preparations for the coming winter, there is no part of the house entitled to more care than the fatnily sitting-room, if as much. The selection of the room is of tho utmost importance, and it may he that there is little or no choice left to you, the Mouse naviug ueeu su cuusu ucii-u mat there is but one room that can he appreciated to that purpose. If that room is the largest, sunniest and otherwise best-warmed room, it is just as it should he. But if, on the contrary, the room "which has ail these advantages has been consecrated to absent friends, and set apart for their use in case they should occasionally favor you with their presence, or to be held sacred to their memory if they never come, it will be well to consider the propriety of setting aside this senseless custom of the past. Take this choice room, whatever it may have been called?parlor or drawing-room ?and make it a home room; make it as pretty as you can with things fit to use and intended for use. Don't shut out the sunshine with curtains or porcliee; don't fill the windows with flowers, so that no one can get near or open them. Shades are well enough, indeed essential to regulate the light according to one's comfort, hut curtains, although ornamental and warmlooking, do interfere with the light too much, and also porches over the windows?they should be attached to the part of the house where we spend theleastof our time indoors. Flowers are the best decorations we could possibly hflve for the sitting-room or any other room, but nevertheless they become ii positive nuisance when they monopolize the window where we like to sit or look out, or, as is sometimes the case, make the room too dark for comfort. An extra window adapted to flowers is the greatest of boons in a sitting-room, unci will give a charm to the plainest of furnishings, if the flowers are tastefully arranged and weir kept; but poor, sickly-looking flowers are no longer "things of beauty," and they cease lobe a "glory" when they are in the way. i If your house has been so unfortunately'built that the sun cannot find its way into your winter sitting-room, it will be worth your while to put it on wheels and switch it Around until the sun can shine there for several hours each day. The health of the family requires it?the chances are that you will all live longer and happier for having a sitting-room where the fami- i ly will gather from choice and remain because of its thorough comfort. Is it too much to ask that each of the contributors to this "Home Department'' ijive us decorations for some one article to add to the comfort or beauty of this winter sitting-room ? Ckkks. Hogs* There is a shortage in the hog supply throughout ail the hog raising districts of the country as compared with the avorage staudard. In Ohio the latest detailed reports gathered shows the hog supply in the State to be 71 per cent of an average, and the condition is given at S-l per cent. If this condition should hold throughout the country it would make a serious falling off "in our supply of hog product for the coming year. There is no doubt hut what the.same general cause which has produceb the result stated in Ohio has been in operation to a greater or less extent in all the hog raising districts of tha country, but we suppose the hog supply has hardly been reduced so low in some of the heavy hog raising States as in the one referred to. Iu some general estimate that we have seen it is calculated thLt the number of hogs to be packed during the coming winter packing season will fall 10 per cent, below the number packed last winter, with some probable shrinkage in weight. Altogether this would make a very considerable decrease in the quanity of pork packed for the winter as compared with the packingsof last winter. Undoubtly the shortage in the last year's corn crop and the consequent Wge advance in the price of corn that has led to this shortage In the supply of hogs. At the preseut writing we have promise of a fair corn crop,! taking the whole country to gether, and certainly taking into account rye and oats of, which we have abundant crops with other feed, and will uodouptedly be for the best interests of the farmers generally to make an immediate increasa in their hog raising operations for the reason that there is 110 other way that they can make so good a market of all the feed we have referred to as to put it into pork. The supply of whiskey in the country is so huge that the distilleries are not likely to want a large amount of grein from this year's crop, so that the best outlet for all will be hog feeding.?Drovrr'a Journal.

[Axxocifttc Rcjorm'd Presbyterian.) "For the Influence upon the conscience of a I,r,.ll?!,>n ? #. BIIU ought to give thanks." This is one of the items included in tiic proclamation of tlie President, Just issued, for our National Thanksgiving. It is worthy the place and the prominence lie gives it. We cannot overestimate the value of this element in our national greatness and prosperity. We hear much of the unl<|iie and admirable structure of our government, of the wisdom of our laws, as securing to us the blessings of peace and social order. But, buck of all this and visibly overshadowing these elements of our wellbeing is the pervasive Influence of the Christian religion. This, more than our republican form of government and more than our great system of laws, makes us what we are as a people, and gives us what we have. The divine government and the divine law in Christianity, secure and perpetuate thoso inestimable blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness which have given us Bttchaproud distinction among the nations of the earth. Our Courts of Justice, oui halls of legislation, our high olllces owe very much of their power for good to the "influence upon the conscience of this religion. Whoever then seeks to weaken or destroy this Influence by weakening or destroying this religion, is to be accounted a public enemy. Ho is aiming a blow at the very lifo of the nation.

Pyinsr Words of (lie Groat. Pr. Johnson, passing a way amid a tumult j of uneasiness and tear said toone who stood I elo^c beside iiis.

Tint the noble Wesley! I simply exclaimed, in calmness ot spirit, "The best of all is, (Jod Is with us." Toor Robert Hums,outol his head when he drew his hint! breath, cried, "Oh don't let! the awkward squad fire over me!" How curious, Indeed, | that Lord Thtrlow should have cried out I as he passed away, "I'm shot, if I don't be! leive I'm dying. "Ah! mva enfant*, you cannot cry as much for me as I have-made you lauuh in my time !' so said the brilliant wit of France, Scarron |as he lay dying that hour with a host of weeping friends around him. ! It was a (,'hrisiain philosopher like John j T,ocke who exclaimed with his latest breath j thatsolemn day, "Oh, the depth of the riches of the goodnessand knowledge of God! How strange to think that the great Mlrabeau, ! ru.r (i llfo nf Kiich wild discord, should have cried out fantically, as he lay waiting for the last change, "Music !

Sermon Delivered by Rev. TV. M. j (Jrier, I). I)., at the Opening- of Hie j late Session of the A. R. P. Synod at New Hope, Tennessee. | "Mighty in the Serlptnres."?Acts x vlii: 2?. I The biography of .a great preacher possesses a special interest for ministers of the Gospel. Kverything about him is eagerly caught at, his ancestry, his early surroundings,his home; influences nnii training, the promises of hlsj early youth,how he lived and preached, these j nr.. ..u i.in Kits of iinl'iLilini! interest tot how i who aio devoting themselves to the same! high calling. .such biographies serve mast, important and useful ends. They present us' witli example* which may i.ot only stlimilute but direct ell'oii. 'i'hey show us how | large ministerial abilities wrought out it.s re-J suits under varying conditions and oftentimes in the faee of disheartening failures.The liffcof McCheyne, for example, lias probed ' to the quick the coldness, tlie worldliness and self-seel;in^ of many a minister of Christ. In | its record of consuming zeal, singleness ol'j purpose, mid eminent spirituality, it has revealed II.u real secret of moral power, and. I has been blessed to the increased activity of j an indolent ministry. In tiie passage before us we have a brief ref-: crence to one whose eminence classed him | with the chielest of the Apostles. In more than one place their names octtir together. "One says, I am of Paul; anot her, I of A polios," "I Paul have planted, A polios watered, but God nave the Increase." In this record here, we hope to rind something appropriate to the services of this hour. It reveals the prevailing characteristic, the predominant element in the preaching of this eminent and successful minister of the Gospel. Looking at it from the standpoint of human instrumentality, what would you simile out from j jM' bis qualities known to us as that In which ] ills strength lay? Was It his eloquence? M'e may feel sure that, his power ol speech was something remarkable,since the grave' and sober narrative'of scripture, without an j element of exng^ertion or undeserved praise I has signalized it. No doubt all who came in ) the nrhge of Ills oratory felt its power andj spell, and to tins wonderful gift we may trace something of the success with which he was blecsod. Another source ot power was'n tbo fervoncy of his spirit. He proclaimed tiie truth boldly. Those who heard him went away Impressed with his evident earnestness ami zeal. Cheerfully conceding tlie lnllueneeof these elements of success, we feel warranted In saying from the narrative here, that they wero all overshadowed by his perfect familiarity with the Scriptures. Here he was furnished | with arguments upon which he might well expend all his gifts of speech ami which were admirably litted to call out ail his fervency. Here was the armory from which lie supplied himself with weapons of keenest edge and marvellous temper, weapons which before his day and often since have pierced to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and the Joints and marrow. Tho lessen then of the text, to us ministers is, that we be ".Mighty In the Scriptures," not only deeply imbued with their spirit, and the great truths which they present, but familiar, also with their very language and imagery. And Kirst: Professional fidelity requires this of us. We have chosen as our life-work the exposition, illustration and defense of the i truth of God as revealed in the Scriptures. To us tlie people look and they have a right, to look for Instruction in righteousness, for the explanation of obscure and dltlicult passages. They expect us to hold forth the word of life and to declare the whole counsel of God. We arc exacting in our domains of other professions. The lawyci who is unable to stale and apply the principles of his profession to the ; various cases confided to him Is Justly reckloned Incompetent and has proved himself unworthy the trust reposed in linn; and that, too, in spite It may beol eminent gilts and attainments in other departments. Ills skill as | a chemist, lils taste ns nil artist, his research and discovery as a natural philosopher, none i I of these, nor all of them combined can compensate for his Ignorance of'law. Precisely so It is with the minister. As a preacher, his special work Is with the Word of God, and he should feel it a shame and a professional dishonor to know nrore of Philosophy than Theology, to be distinguished for bis knowledge of insects, rocks and fossils rather than the history of Redemption. This, however, is not tho highest consideration by which tlie example of Apotlos may be pressed upon your attention. Professional fidelity may make t lie learned theologian and the wise expositor without tlie successful preacher. As an ambassador of Christ the prime object which you have placed before you, tile single aim upon which your heart is j fixed is to brinir sinners to Christ, to nersuiidc' men to receive and obey the truth. If this be not so, if we have earthly ambitions to tcruti-1 ly. if we seek literary ease or fame, If wo make o*ar calling simply the means of a live-; iihooii, then we need the exhortation given to j Simon Magus, "Uepent of this thy wickedness and pray God If perhaps the thought of thine! heart may bo forgiven thee." But, brethren, wc are persuaded better things of you. \Ve assume that you covet no higher honor than to be counted worthy to take part in this ministry, that you seek no higher Joy than to be j employed us Instruments in converting sin-1 nors. Uh, see to it that there is no mistake! here?that the heart with all its deceit full) ess j Impose none of its fair plausibilities upon us j in this mat ter. As those, then, whose settled rmt'pose it Is to work for so grand an end, who j iave one supreme desire to gra.lfy we say, make yourselves masters of the Word of God. j The Scriptures are truth, truth unmixed with error. Not. that every sentiment is to be I adopted or every example to be imitated. But wherever doctrine is announced and duty inculcatcd it Is stamped with the seal of intlnlte holiness. God's wisdom preserves from all mistake, his holiness forbids an nppronch to falsehood and deception. Goil is Truth as well as Love. So emphatic is the Apostlo on this subject that sooner than allow a shadow to rest upon the divine voracity lie would convict every man of falsehood. "Let God he true and every man a liar." No human wisdom or learning, however high and pretentious its claims, can escape this damaging in-1 dlcttnent if it impugn these Scriptures and J assail the Word of God that liveth and abideth forever. We may then receive with entire confidence and Implicit faith whatever is announced and l authenticated as a "Thus suith tiie Lord.' j I This Is an advantage which cannot he too much appreciated. Wltht lie blindness which has fallen upon iro it. consequence of sin, with , that, inability to arrive at, certainty which ! characterizes man in every stnire ot culture ami advancement, and with Hint Insatiable longing of tlie soul afier truth which no blindness or inability can crush out, nothing is so valuable to us as simple, unadulterated, infallible truth. Amid those ceaseless changes [ which are occurring in our philosophies, our clhies and our religious beliefs, amid those fearful drills of doubt, which have swept away j many strong men from the moorings of their early faith, we need some rock to stand upon, the heart cries out for something to which It can anchor its dearest hopes. That something is the Word of God. On all those great questions which have ever engaged tiie attention of men it gives us the most positive information. It speaks to us of God, Creation, the Fall, Kedemption, Kternity, Immortality, Heaven and Hell in a way that Is plain to the understanding and that demands our assent. They speak to us in the clear, calm authoritative voice of Hint who knows all things,and who cannot lie. Whatever claims to be religious truth and asks our support is to be tried oy this test. Prove all things, hold fast tlial which is true according to these Scriptures. But how can we prove them unless wo arc acquainted with the test. Curability to detect error will Just be in proportion to our knowledge of the Word of God. The more extensive and accurate our acquaintance with it, the better qualified we will be to settle fairly and intelligently tlie claims of conflicting religious opinions, and tlie less disturbed and unsettled we will bo by the most plausible support of heterodoxy. There are, perhaps, but. few minds that aro not more or less affected by an able and ingenious statement, of the arguments in favor of a false creed. For a moment doubts start up and throng about us like serpents from dragons teeth. Our confidence Is shaken, and for the time there Isa reeling, the most painful which a conscientious mind ever [ experiences, lest perhaps a lifelong mistake | bus been made. We repeat It, there are but I few minds of such comprehensive grasp and i so fir i ly established in the truth as to be entirely free from these occasional Incursions of doubt. A most Important help. If not a perfect remedy for all this is in a profound familiarity with the sacred oracles. This will at least prepare the mind for a speedy recovery from the staggering eflects of specious error; unit n will dc not oiuy n>r your cannon, mil I it will be to you the best preparation for ? ; successful opposition to all forms of unbollef. I It will be not only your best armor of defense, ! but also your most effective weapon of ns> sault. IIow complete I lie victory which our I Savior gained over the adversary by a ready use of tliis sword of the Spirit. To every | temptation so craftily presented he replies in j the very words of inspiration. It is said of , Henry Martyn.thedevotcd missionary, when j he was 011 his way to India and while tarrying at Sail Salvador, that he fell in with a i number of those Itomlsh priests which throng : that place. Soon a dispute arose as to the peI culiar doctrines of the Komlsh Church, such ; as purgatory,image-worshlpend traiisubstantiatlon. These he disproved from the Scriptures and witli such readiness, fulness and force that the priests could only reply, mhnmc minima. Says Martyn, and his characteristic modesty excludes the thought of exaggeration, they were amazed at my knowledge ot the Scriptures. The whole history of relljsl uus cuuiiovcrsj' noes uj snow uiai wie lunr! ough Biblical scholar Is the successful advocate ami triumphant defender of the truth. Ha.vs Dr. Alexander, "men need oftentimes not so much long chalnsof reasoning, labored processes of arcuineiit, as poslllve. authoritative truth." There arc some truths the simple statement of which Is mighty. They carry Willi them a moral weight and force that sweeps away in an Instant the weak defenses of error. Unbelief shrinks from their presI cnee as vice from goodness, as guilt from Innocence. Let me illustrate; In ttie recent past the religious press of Christendom has | groaned with elaborate statements of what is | called the Development theory. The replies and criticisms have been us numerous and learned as the statements. And not. only so but there is scarcely a platform, a lecture room and. in some sections, scarcely a pulpit but has discussed thi? so-called Hedging of in[fidelity. What prodigious efl'orts have been [called into requisition to strangle in its swaddling clothes this monstrous progeny. It would be hard to llnd another Instance In which so Inconsiderable a personage has bsen so honored. Is not the attention which this theory has received out of all proportion to its merits? Where Is the wisdom, on the part of friends of Christianity, in expending so niticri etrort upon a theory which, in all its essential features, is as ohl us Lord Monbodo. I and tlis-it was successfully assailed three linn died years ago. This hybrid of Atheism ami Pantheism, Ions: huo driven from ttie haunts of a Christian civilization and that has wandered in desert places, scarcely seen by men, now presents himself to us, in all his rags and tatters, us a prince of the royal blood claiming our homage and demanding Ihe tribute money, A Ins, that there should be so many todohim rcvercnce, many who acknowledge his claims and pledge themselves to his service. Now, Just place this theory with Its endless'labyrinths, with its mystifying ind incomprehensible lines ot argument, with its ! tangled web of words of learned length and: 1'iunderltig sound, Just place It face to face, set' it side by slue Willi that Scripture truth, the simplest;, most sublime ever written <?r uttered,"In the beginning God crented the heavens j and the earth," and, la, the mighty structure, j reared at such infinite pains disappears like i the baseless fabric of a vision. Tills last, dog ma of unbelief, this Joxology of sceotlclsm falls to the ground ti e moment It Is tried by I the authorltutlve (iccluratlons of the Scrip-1 tures. We ai*e free *'o confess we do not know j what this theory ol evolution Is, we could not I explain It if we wot Id,but we know what It Is j not. It Is not the truth of God?It is antagonistic to It. Its apostles and prophets may at-j IcmpL a reconciliation and they may hones:-! ly believe In it, but the whole tendency of the , theory is in the interest of infidelity. A German writer, as quoted In the Biblical Repertory .In speaking of the Pantheists of his day, [ 9 ' I makes this striking allusion, which may be applied with equal propriety to tho materialist* of this day. "Ancient chroniclers relate that there were watchtowers and castles for which no Arm foundation could he obtained until (by direction of the practitioners of witchcraft) a child was built up In the walls. They made a Utile chambec in the foundation, placed within it u table with sugar and play things, and "wiille the poor unionseloas link victim was rejoicing over lis sweetmeats and toys, the grim nitons did their work. And, on, ars not Mhmo who cut (l,e people loose from t!ie old foundation of their faith, by U-achlriit our youth that there Is no personal God, that consciousness ends with death, that the greatest crimes which ever occurred were necessary and therefore reasonrtble, are not these men the cruel masons who immure; the children of lh? household of faith In the' bastions ami watchtowers of the devil, en-' tielnxthem with the sugar toys of their vain' pliuosopn V, 10 (iitimi 111 im; IIUITtirji <11 iinnmisflod hunger ami thirst for the Word of God. I ?<Prin. Jt'-rirw.) I Hengstenbcrg said nearly 50 years ngo, with prophetic foresail I : "There are two people in tho womb of this ngo, and only two. Tliey will become constantly more lirinly and decidedly opposed to each other. Unbelief will more and more exclude what it has of faith, and faith what it has of unbelief. This new dressed philosophy will break up old divisions. It will carry some Imclc to Atheism and drive others to tho unmuillated Bible." Brethren, wc arc set for the defense of the Gospel and we are to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. We are to contribute our best energies to the perpetuity and i the propagation of the Divine word. 'Ihorolore we are to learn the use of those weapons, I which are mighty, lint it Is not so much of I usefulness in tills direction that we would speak. We hare to deal not so much with the cvl- i deuces as In the exposition and Illustration | of received truth?not so much with a pole-i( mic theologyand n theoretic infidelity as with ignorance and indifference to what is acknowledged to be the Word of God. As preachers, our audiences consist mainly of those, who do not question the authenticity or inspiration of the Bible, and hence frequent and extended discussions of these subjects will be unwise and unnecessary. But they will need to have opened up to them the untold treasures In tho storehouse of Scripture, in all their richness and variety, treasures upon which you are presumed to have looked, and which indeed you have garnered : to yourself in devout study; they wiil need to I have set before them the profound significance of passages which at first appear unimportant; they will need to have Impressed upon them the wonderful harmony which pervades tne whole system of revealed truth, In its close connection, its intcrpendence from Genesis to Revelation,and In itscompact and indissoluble relations. Above all, they will need to come Into full view of the Divine majesty, fulness and graclousucss of these Scriptures. All this will demand a large | knowledge of them, such a knowledge as is I acquired only by a careful, unremitting study , ot them. "Without this," says Dr. J. W. Alexander in his "Thouuhts on preaching," "a minister may be learned andelegant and rhetorical, but lie never can be a powerful preacher." As n matter of fact the most successful preachers have been the inos' diligent students of the Bible. Dr. Austin Phelps In Ills recent admirable work on the "Theory of preaching." gives a leaf from his own experience which bears directly on this point. lie states that for six years, in tho early part of: his ministry, lie made the Prophecy of Isaiah I and the Kolstle to the Romans tho subject of special study, and out of them bo gave a course of biblical sermons. Jliw his conclusion : "ThoseScriptural sermons brought me near to the best Christian experience of my most godly hearers. I am sure that nothing else of which I was master could have held for me the confidence of my people in my auuuy mj in: meir KpiriLUiii igutuvi. t work of those years," continues he, "is yet to he tried an by tire, but If anything In It shall bear the lest by that purest of the elements, it. will be found in that part of the work tu which I went before my hearers with the most elaborate and yet the simplest results of my study of the Word of Cod.'' It is thus that preaching becomes an effectual means of convlneingand converting sinners and building them up in holiness and comfort through faith* It is thus that the ministry grows in spiritual power and fulfills its high mission. And this lningstts totheclimaxof theargument, viz., that this mastery of Scripture will impartciinientnc.'ut, with all t It-it Is Included in that term. It will give us Just and exalted conceptions of our ofHce. It will furnish viewsoi the magnitude of that work in which we are engaged that must dispel every dream of ease, and banish every suggestion of sloth. It will prevent us from dealing with all trifling subjects, I hat plague of the pulpit. We will feel no desire to drag into Its discussions topics that belong to the platform and the lyceum. What minister could lay down the Epistle to the Romans and appenrbefore a congregation of condemned sinners, and read i an essay on politeness? What minister could rise from the serious perusal of Paul's Letters to Timothy and then preach about the Presidential election or the late war? Such Inconsistency would betray a singular moral constitution. Would not asouse of his responsibility as nn ambassador for Christ, and a conception of t lie wretched condition of those who are hanging on his words, would not this fasten his attention upon thoso high themes of redemption. Justification and Hanctiflcatlan ? Oh! this earnestness, born and nurtured in the light of S'-rlptt re truth, with its commanding revelations, is what the Church needs. It will bring all good things with It. It is a common and true remark that revivals j of religion begin with thepeopleof (lod. The history of all great revivals Is referred to for proof. May I not say, In this presence, that I jam persuaded we may draw the line closer [ than that. Do they not begin, always begin ' in the heart of the preacher himself? Burn- j inc Willi semi for tlm nlnrv of God and desire (the Milvation of souls. these will find such ex-1 pression in Ills dully intercourse with his peo- j pie, that, ho inny appropriate the language of I the Apostle: "I ceased not to warn every one I day and night with tears." One and another are touched and moved?an unwonted seriousness gathers about the congregation and we I soon hear of a pentecostal season. Would you learn the power of this earnest- j ness, Just see it exemplified. See what one earnest preacher may accomplish. Head the life of a Whitetleld, a Wesley, a Maxtor. Mark j how they labored In season and out of season, I and with what remarkable success. It may i be said that these men possessed a hitih order j ot Intellect, but In this respect they were not I superior to many others of whom the world has never heard. The secret of their usefulness Is to be found In their zeal, rather than j their talents. They were dreadfully in earnest. One devoted, zealous minister is worth a thousand mere deeout perl'itnctorles. It is said of (irton and Maxtor that the latterwould I set the world on tire while the other was lighting bis match. We pray, and we are commanded to pray that "the (/>rd of the harvest would send forth more laborers into his harvest," but we ought not to forget to pray that an unction Ironi on high,a baptism of the Holy Ghost might be granted those that are j already In the field. If we travailed in birth for sinners till Christ be formed in them, if I the spirit of Christ possessed us, then thei proclamation would go forth to the ends of the earth, "Say ye to the daughter of '/Aon, I Heboid thy salvation eomctb." This earnestness of purpose, this complete devotion to our high calling, may ho fought most surely in the devout study of that Word of Mod, which is spirit and life, which enlightens the eyes, makes wise the simple and converts the soul.
