From the Bibhcal Recorder. To the Rev. .Vr. B. Jourssow, D. D., of Edgefield District S. C. My Dear Brother:-Pardon me -for thus bringing your natne before the 'pub lie. It was for the purpose, -and with the expectation or doing eood, id that branch of the church of Christ to which we both belong.-l have occasionally no .iced in our religious periodicals- latters of this nature, addressed to men of deserved standing and iulluence-in the church ; so liciting their- opinions and' advice as'to certain doctrines and practices then prev olent, antid agitating the minds of men for good or for evil. Such communications appear to the to be extremely userul and inte-esting. They are read with avidity as coming from a sour:e high and respec ted and carry a benign infuence over an extensive field. Why not make whatever wisdom and piety there is in the church available for the general good I The property, as it ought.:o be, not of some little corner of the land but the whole -brotherhood of faith. Many errors in faith and practice, which have curraney and are doing mischierin some less enlightened sections. of the church, might be arrested and abandoned if the propagators and encouragers of them, who often mean well, could' see them ju deiciously discussed and satisfactorily con demned by some -of their venerated bre thren. Your age and services to the church, and your long experience in the Lord's vineyard, entitle you to the distinc tion, among many other worthly brethren, of being requested. on this occasion,.to furnish our members with your views in regard to the practices and modes or wor ship which I have frequently witnessed, and which I am ~niw about to describe to you. I have lived for many years in N. Carolina, and since my removal to South Carolina, my summers have been chiefly spent itn the upper or central counties of -the former State. Durirg all this time I have been very frequently present at large public meetings held by our haptist breth ren continued for several days in succes sion. These meetings are almost always held in the open air. under the shade of some pliasant grove, in the centre of which is erected "the staud," as it is called, or pulpit, with seats for a considrable num ber of preachers; and in fine-weather, when housands of im mortal and reponsible be ing are seated in. respectful silence around and looking up to the embassador (of Christ there elevated to teach and to per suader-nothing"can he more impossing, nothing more inspiring to .he feelings, nothing which ought to fitl the breast of such ambassador with more trembling awe lest he should say or (o somethitin wrong, for if he should, it might light upon some unstable, excitable mind, who will propa gate it rapidly by sympathy to the itm mense multitude. The exercises, on the occasion of tiese large protracted meetings, commence, as is usual, in'ordinary'meetings. A sermon is' preached, and the utmiost decorum and silence is observed, and generally an at tention is giviing' bghly gratifying' to the preache rho,'unr'ess -he' sh'uld become vociferous'and appear to be desirous to stir the, multitude:into -a noise.- will sit down ainid .antandietnce:still. and solemn, and showing a-disposition to hear more.

The former are expected to apply for baptism at the earliest oppor tunity, and are generally, upon a relation of their experience, admitted into- the church. Such is a brief sketch of the history of protracted meetings, both baptist and methodist, as I have witnessed them in N. Carolinn. God furbid that I should distori, or exaggerate, or set down aught ill sporn, or with a view to bring reproacb, or ridicule upon my-brethren. They have received me kindly among them, cordial- I ly invited me to preach, and if I ever re ceived heart-touching evidences of being 1 lis:ened to with profit and with gratitude it has betn at such meetings. It is with fair I other intentions than to furnish a handle i for the mocking world that I give this i plain and faithful delineation. . If these a proceedings are. right, are scriptural, are and owned of. God,- as well pleasing itn his sight, my brethren who con Iduct and encourage them, will not be a shamed of having them expossed to pub lie view ; but if they are wrong and no scriptural and fraught with numerous evil, to the world and to the church, any looker-on who wishes well to the cause of religion, is justified in remonstrating and t endeavoring, with kindness, to convice his brethren of their error. My opinion, has not been withheld when I have been -pre sent at such times, but it-had little effect. It was attributed, I suppnse, to a lack of zeal, or to prejudice, while perhaps, in their hearts,.they were inclined to give me Gamaliel's advice: - "Now I ay unto you ( refrain from these men and let them alone :. for if this counsel or this ework be of men it will come to naught : but if it be of God you cannot orerthrow it ; lest ,haply ye be found even to fight against God." 8 Althoughthis-paper has been penned rather to call out their views than exhibit r my own, I will briefly state the reasons d on which I have left myself warranted, to bear this testimony against this mode of working on the minds of men in religious meetings. b 1st. IL is not scripural. I cannot think. if any man will seriously read I Cor. xiv. from the 30th verse to the end, he can help d perceiving that the Apostle's reproof is directed against disorder and confusion of much the same kind as that now itt qtues- a ion. arising from more than one speaking a at a time, and particularly women taking a a part in public exercises. -. t] 2d. It is depending on other means than a the word, faithfully preached and urged. home upon the conscience and heart. Af-. C ter this is done there is evidently .d i trust of leaving the matter here. Vilioent 9 agitation must be produced, anti this agt tation is regarded as a proof, add the only j proof that- the truth has takeneffect ;and 1 this agitation, when once begun, iv-rejoiced a in and expected to propagate itselfthrough the assembly. Is not this aiing to pro- a duce religion in. the heart by exciting ani mal sensibilities? Indeed any one whr a watches the progress of. such excitements :b will see that the greatest emotioo it often tc produced, not only by the powerful exhi- s biton of God's law and gospel', but by glowing and Melting descriptions of faim- t ly ines, Which might produce the same a commotion ever ifrehgion had nothkig to do with the the meeting 3d.
