It is found much more coivenient to take an occasional dose of' hall'a dozen Pills, and be alway s well, than to send for a Doctor and be bled. blistered, and salivated-wih the certainty that ifyou are not killed, you are sure to have moinths ofmis erable weakness, and the only one who is bine fitted is your Doctor Look at the ditierence between the appearance of those two persons one lens been treated by your regular practi tioner-see how pale and dehigated he is, see how the shadow of death throws his solitarv glance firom hit emaciated cointena nce, -ee how he trembles in every iimtb; his eyes soi.k, his teeth destroyed-his conisteteatiton pet haps, irrevocably go e-yet. just hear how the Doc tor arrogates to himself credit. le says, "most inveterate case of liver cnnplaint"-"nothing but the most energetic remedies sared hint."

Shocking folly! Let ns now look at your "purged" man-the man who has taken lirandreth's Pil s for Liver Complaint-he has the firim. elastic tread of conscious strength, his countenaice is clear and serene, his eye is full and sparkling with the feeling of new lire and anitmatioii; Tie has been confined a few davs to his bed. but he Usd nothing but the TR'UE BRANDRExTH PtL1.s, antd soon rose without any ihnjury being sustain ed by hisconstitution. Instead of being ionhs in a weak state,he will be siroiger after lie has entirely recovered the attack; be'enuse his blood and fluids have become purified, and havitig purged away the old and impure flnids, the sol ido are thereby renovated, and he is not borne down by useless particles, but has renewed his life aid body both. This principle of purging with Brandreth's Pills. removes nothing but the useless and ie c-tyerl particles froi the body.-the morbid and corrupt humors of the blond; those hmnors which canse disease-they itipede the func tions of the liver when they settle upon that organ. and which when they settle upon the' muscles, produce rheumatism; or, upon die - erves produce gout; or. upon the lungs pro. duce consumption; or, upon the intestines. cos tivenes.,; or. upon thie linings of the blooid ves gels. aoplexy and pa-alysis. and all thte traitn of' disortlers so ielancholy to.the sufferer and all a ho behold theim.

The cure by purging may more depend upon the laws which produce sweetness or purity than mty be generally itungined.

DISCOURSE. -'And let its not be neary in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have, therefore, opportunity, 1 let us do good unto all ien. especiadly to them n ho are of the household of faith." I UALATrs 6 ch.; 9,10 vs.; i The second fundantaiital principle of i the moral law is, "Thou shall love thy . eighbor as thyself." In perfect accor- < dance n ith this principle. was the conduct a of the Saviour, % hen on the Earth.-"Be- j ing madle of a won-an, made under the 1 law, and sulert to the law," he gave the I brihtebt ii itration of coulbritiy to this v principle, by "going about doing good." i In the spirit of the principle, whichlt con- 1 ntitut,: the basis of the second table of the C law, and in agreement with the exatmpleof V . hrist are the exhurtations of the text. In n preparing thij for practical improvement, 8 I Shall treat of the last exhortation fir.;t,viz. 1 "As we have. therefore. opportunity, let us r do good unto all men." hi the use that I shall make of this ex bortation, as adapted to the present occa- I sion, I liro)ose to shew, that :he existruce C and operation of Bible Societies aford a b larger opporiuuity of doing good utoe all C mte,than any other plan of man's devising. It must he conceded, that the preaching of the Gospel is of more importance than P themere distribution of the Bible. Because I "Faith conteth by hearing, hearing by the word of Goi, and how shall they hear C without a preacher." "% hen the world by a wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by 0 the foolishness of preacling to save them % that believe." But the preaching of the i Gospel is a special Institution of God. The fornation of Bible Societies is a plan of I man's devising, though in accortlOnce with I principles laid down by Jehovah himself, I and with dictates iuspired by the Holy 1 Ghost. Now, that it may satisfaetorily appear. that the existence and operatiorn of Bible 6ocieties present :he largest opportunity of doing good unto all mten, I invite your U atention to the following remarks. . Man can originnte nothing of himself. As a creature he is neeessarily limited in his powers; and circumscribed in hi- oper a tions, fur he possesses a Idivine nature, 1 not one that is self con.tituted le looks 8 arouttd hint, and learns, front observation I and experiment, the nature and uses of % all objects. that present thermselvs to his benses. lie turns his eyes within, and q considers himself. It these operations, I fte forms his conceptions, and these re- V viewed by the power of inenory consti tute the store of his ideas. It is his prov- I ince in these oietations, to ascertain the I priticiples upon which ra:stter and mind I are constituted, and the laws by which they are governed. According to these laws, ie can employ these principles, in I various operations, so as to produce cer J lain results. But he can neither form itind nor matter, nor institute the lnws. I b) which either is governed. A tamiliar I exantsple will illustrate this point. The physician acquires a ktowledge of d the difl'erent parts of the lutminan hotly and i obsertves the influetnce,whieb gfhqeases have 1 tupon it. lHe sties the nature anti pro- i per ties ordiff'~eent nteents,snech as mtinerals, I plantts, seeds, atnimals, anud aiscertaints thatt 1 either separaitely, or cot,.hined, they pro dfuee ce'rtiin resttbs. By mesans of thtose I agents skilfully aipplied,. h,- effects (ndtter 5 the divine blessina) a enre of diseases.- 51 Now yu will perceive that the physicianmi I neither mua ces the mnan. nor the agents. F ntor the disease. le tmnly scsertatins faicts. 9 developes principiles. andI applies thetm to I the producitioni ofeerrainr ends. Nor can ti he secure these ends. Trh. blessing ot'God, I th. Gr. at First cause is indispensably no- ra cessairy in success.i A mechanie cotnstructs a machine. In s the worktnanship. he employs the necer, sary miaterial s according ;o given princi- c piles andc laws, which atre exp ained in the s science, calledNatutral Philosophy. In this I cas', fte neither creates the tmaterials, nor <1 gives existenens to the laws, hy which he t is governed. Front God,they till proceed, r and man is only the discoverer ,and the ini-'l t rumenlt, not thie creator. W e migli per- r sue the illustration still farther, btut I r dheem~ it unnttecetsary. As, I trusat, that, a what has been said, is sutlicient to make ( it plain, that man can origttate nothing of r himself. r If this he true in things, tmerely niatural, ( and thtat relate to earth, how much mtore a true inl things that are spiritual, atnd that J relate to the kingjtnotm of Heaven. Man A has, in his apostacy, violsated the inflexi ble law of God, and as far as in his power, 3 hits sunde red all the moral ties itat hound him to his Maker, and to all holy intelli-r gencies. By snech conduct he has brought himtself into a guilty atnd miserable state. How can he restore himself to his former< state, or avert the descending wrath of Hint "who is a consuinirg fire." Hie does not ktnow the bearing of his sin upon the 'l botund less sy stemt of Jehova h's governmetnt. * lie does not know that his sin can be piar Md~ed edtortntIeakh tio rimhtn'df fitih 1 tovernment. ir lie knew the possilcility ifforgiveness, heis unacquainted willh the nanner in which it can lie efrceted. He s ignorant of what will con-titute an ade lnnre sacrifice. If hie were fully inflormned mil this point.he iq wholly incapabcle of ia iina it. He cannot, iherefore, either levise or olfer what the law requnires, or its itthor will accept. Furthermore. it is lnt his province to >rescrihe the plan of his recovery. This s the prerogative of Goil alone. You well kuow, that if any of us were to murder a ellow creature, and be condemned fbr it, t would not he in the power of the crimi mil to evade the sentenee of the law% ex ept by force. The Governor might par lon the criminal; but if he did, it would be if his own will. It would not belong to he transgressor to prescribe the iodle. le could indeed do nothing to obtain his crdon, but beg for it. It would rest eii irely with the Executive, to show mercy ir not. From this familiar illustration. you will learly see. thut guilty mnan cannot origin - te the plan of his salvatiou: on this s'tb ?ct we can appeal to facts, which furnish is with demonistration. For four thots idl years after man's apos ary, the world, vith the exception of the Jews, was left ai moral dtrkness. The opportunity was hus given to the human mind, to devise he way of recovery for lost man. And vhat was the result? Trace the annals f history, and see what light has been truck out onl this momentous subject, by he aecttmulated experience and effort of evolving ages. After successive but ruitless exertions, by the best and wisest f the heathen toelTect a renovution in the arzh; Socreates, the most enlightened of hieti all declared that it was indispensa ly necess-iary for a Divine Teacher to ome down from Heaven to instruct man ind. fn examinining the history or the two nlighiened nations of the vorkl, anterior the era of the christian dispensnation.you ill find 20 or 30,010 Gods enrolled in the alenlar of their Deities. You will be hocked with the rites performed in honor f them. The de!icate and feeling mid 'ill turn with horror froi the vices prac ised by their most celebrated characters: ices, which the decency of this audience irhids mte to mention, bbfore them. So tr. therelfre from man's originating the ,Ian of his recovery, he became mcore and core alietnated froin God. His foolish eart was darkened and ie loved and serv J the creature more than the Creator. )erhaps Jlehovah permitted this lapse of ges to roll on, before he revealed the true ight from Heaven, for the purpose of giv ng to iman an opportunity of trying his A% t) strength in the mighty concern of his alvation, which has proven to be but, veakness. The result ought to, prove sat sfatrory to every mind, as affording un inswerable proof of man's imbecility in be great work of effecting his own sal aticin. Bit for further evidence, let tus see if. ince the introduction of christianity, man ian actiuiredI any more ability to devise a vay of escape frot the wrath to come. .'o what result have those attained, who inve rjected that light. which, like a flood inn poured its streamson out world? The )eist lies denied Revelation, as contained it the - Bible, and withi it. God's plan of alvation. What has he given in its place? iorhing that shows the possibility of the irgiveness of sin, much less its certainty. Ahe Deisical system has been reduced to ractice by one whole nation of people. rance, in her revolutionary struggle.was uiled by men, who rejected the Bible, tessed up a strumpet, carried her in tri mph to the temnple, and worshipped her a the Goddecss of reasont.

Atw 'As Wrdna1 ak r eMr iuladnlire 9reater momeni lhan temporal, that plan which presents the only way of securing eternal happiness must he the most impor tant of all plans. In the Bible only that plan is contaitted. Bible Societies are formed for the sole purpose of dtstributin4 this holy book throughout the whole world, and their work will not be occom lishei until every child of Ad.m shall iave a copy of it in his own language, dtihp "may read in his own tongue the wonder ful works of God." Therefore the exis4 tence and operation of Bible Societies af ' rd the largest "opportunity of-doing good unto all men" by putting into their hahcls ihe words of eternal life. In the second place; I observe, that the. Bilie, instructs us in the true principles of civil and religious liberty, and that it is the only book that does. All other works on this subject. that are of any value, ard but commentaries on the principles devel. oped in this houk. In the holy volume, we are taueht td love our neiglor as ourselves. This ono principle, in its full operation, would ban ish all fraud and oppression from the earth, because it teaches, that every man has rights of a sacred character, which mn other has authority to in fringe. Right which each one should regard in another as sacred. as in himself. In the holy volume, we are also taught, to love God supremely. His authority is paramount to every other. We are fur ther tatght. that the conscience is to b' subject to God alone: that we are to be lieve nothing that has not the sanction of truth; that we are' to do nothing which the principles of his holy law do not re quire. Let these two principles be uni versal in their influence, & what a change nould he efrected in our world? Anarchy nd despotism would disappear. and eartri resemble Ileaven. Previous to the intro duction of christianity, the people. were regarded as mere instruments of the Prin ce's ambition, or pleasures.

In our strugele for ittdependence, the principles of the Bible vhich animated our ancestors, exerted their powerful inu ence on our leaders. The succeeding ru-' lers of our nation have reverenced tho' Bible. in our late conflict with Grett Britain, it is worthy of remark, that our Military and Naval Officers, in announc ing their victories to the proper authority, ascribed them to God. The great principles taught in the Biblo lead the mind directly tip to God, as the author and supporter of universal nature, and where these principles operate, there, man is taught his duty, and dependence on the right source.
