From tho Virginia Contuctor. Christian Influence. Of all people in the world, those who pro fess to lie the disciples of Christ should be the most exemplary and circumspect in their daily avocations. Recognized in Divine reve lation as the salt of the tarth and light of the world, and being the Representatives of Him who is without spot or blemish, Chris tians occupy a peculiarly prominent position in society, from whence springs an intluence that either tends to elevate the moral condi tion of the human race, or else religion sus tains a serious loss by causing those who have never named the name of Christ to become careless and indifferent as to the true merits of redeeming grace. Naturally prone to walk the paths of sin and folly, no opportunity is lost by the man of the world in scrutinizing the Christian's conduct in order to detect some error by which he may he justified in the course he pursues. Yea, instead of perusing the Bible, wherein he may learn the duties he owes to God and man, invariably the professor of re ligion is regarded by him as the exponent of the Scriptures, as a guide to him in every controverted point on morality and as a monu ment of redeeming love. Hence the responsibility of every member of the church-and really it is an awful one. Then, evidently, it is the indispensible duty of every disciple of our Lord and Savior to walk the narrow but pleasant path pointed out in the Book of life, cultivate the Qhris tian graces along the entire journey, remov ing every obstacle, be it what it may, that has the least tendency to clog the wheels of the car of salvation, and thus, the Christian would exert a powerful sway on the minds of those among whom he may chance to move. Religious principles are positively contagious when properly enforced by sal4tary exam pies, so well adapted are they to the interest of fallen men. But, alas! idiscretion pre vails to an alarming extent in the church. At this juncture of our essay, readers, we earnestly invoke your attention to one very great IndTseretion on the part of the mem bers of the church-the peculiar people of God-that is the use of alcoho" liquors as a beverage-alhuost as far back in the records of antiquity as the history of man extends, the use of ardent spirits is found to have ministered to the baser. passions of the hu oan soul, stirring up strife and ambition, in citing to murders and all kinds of vice, con sequently, operating very materially against the transforming influence of Jehovah's just and holy law. Solomon, in the profundity of his wisdom raised his warning voice against the use of wine, because it was a mocker and a deceiver, ruining the souls of men-and subsequent history both of a profane and sacred char acter, has proven incoutestibly tho truth of his declaration. le was thoroughly versed in nll the secret operations of the hunian heart, he was acquainted with its frailties, and he prescribed remedies for all of them. But how few regard his admonitions. At the commencement of the Christian era, intoxi cation seems to have been a prevalent evil among all classes of society, as the great founder of the church was called a wine bib ber by those who were inveterate enemies to his doctrine. Coeval with the advent of the Savior-heathen nations looked upon Bacchus as the presiding deity at all of their banquets, invoking him with incantations of a lewed nature to inspire them with feelings of con geniplity and cheerfulness. Wine, at that time, and ever since, in addition to all of its kindred liquids, has fired the sordid passions of the soul, and has drawn a dark and dismal veil across the way that leads to happiness above-it suppresses the noblest aspirations of the mind, and causes the inebriate to curse the God that made him. Drunkenness is an abomination in the .sight of the Lord, his curse rests upon it everywhere. Some who differ from usi may argue that the scriptures declare we must be temperate in all things, even in the use of alcoholic -liquids. Where is arsenic? strychnine? and prussic acid, ad a host of other deadly pisons in the same ' catalogue with alcohol . The reason you don't tamper with arsenic you nre afraid of it, but alcohol deceives you by inducing a genial flow of spirits in your nervous system for a moment or so, then it leaves you a vie tinm to gloomy feeling and a morbid appetite. If you intend to fulfil the scriptures as it re gards temperance, according to your inter pretation, you must not only be temperate in the use of ardent spirits, but, in order to be temperate in all things, you must not repudiate strychnine, opium and prussic acid, because these are certainly three thimgs. Be consistent, we beseech you, for consis tency is a jewel, especially in religions mat t ers. Says Paul, " be ye f irm and st eadfast in the doctrines I have taught you." Now, to substantiate the grounds we occupy, we observe that all alcoholic liquors are the re sult of man's perverted ingenuity. Haed be have plucked the grape from the vine in the condition which the great chemist of nature presented it to him--full of nutritment and pleasant to the taste, sin and sorrow would not have made such rapid strides o'er this eccursed land-of ours, but., on the other hand, n'en in possession of cool and reasonable iijndls, would have been mnore susceptible to thz'uenign influence of those divine truths inl revelation, intended by the author of aill goodness to raise his affections from the per ishable things of this world to a bright sphere where peace and comfort eternally reign. Jnstead of going humbly into the Labratory of Nature, eating and drinking what the uin erring hand of the creator has prepared for him, he is dissatisfied with the offerings of an all-wise Being, subjects many of thema to his rules of chemistry, and the result of which, in the case of all vegetable matters, containing starchy and sacharinte properties, ia poison to both soul and body. Alcohol is not found in an isolated state anywhere within the vast domain of the veg etable kingdom-hence it was never designed by our Creator as beverage for a man. 1t may be found in some of~ the ripe juicy fruits, such as pear, peach, &c., but always so wisely blended with the other ingredients by the skillful chemist of nature so asa not to injure any one who desire4 to ear sneh frtiit. More over, it is t he restult of a put reia,,iive p.rncess that takes place in the juices of' the fruit at the time it becomes mature. Would man allow these juices to take their natural course, the little alcohol they contain would soon result in the formation of those acids peculiar to them, whether citric, malic, or acetic acid. Alcohol is a medicine and poison too, all medicines are poisons, so we should never use them unless necessity calls for thetm therefore no person is benefitted by the habit ual use of ardent spirits. You might ransack the archives of medicine frim the time of 4Esculapius to the present, and you would find no evidence to sustain you. Christian ! You are the moral standard of nonic sinner in your neighborhood-he looks to you for example-every sinner has his christian. Will you tell him by your exam ple that there is no danger in drinking mod erately, when he attempts to follow you in this respect, cannot control his appetite, and falls over the precipice of destruction into the abyss of woe. No doubt you are doing good in many other respects, as a disciple of the-meek and lowly Saviour, but if you drink moderately, you are causing some one to travel the broad and beaten read to death. It is so; you just examine the relation you sustain to your fellow men. How awful is the Christian's responsibility-he may do great good, and do more mischief to the cause of religion than a host of sinners. If you think it too great a sacrifice to give up the bottle in order to teach your tellow mnn sobriety, T point you to the bleeding lamb of I od on the cross, and see how he sacrificed his life to render you happy in all time to come, and how can you think of sanctioning the use of that fiery liquid which has retard ed the progress of your Redeemer's kingdom for so long a time, and is doing so much inju ry to this country at present. The time will soon be here when you wil have to relinquish your right to mortal affairs, anid then your deeds like a huge' mountain, will appear before you-the judge of the quick and the dead will then do you justice. Now, 0 Christian, while you are this side .,r th Jgrdan er death. the agent for him who went about doing good, teach your fel low men one important lesson, and that is to stop using ardent. spirits as a beverage. iDay after day they are alling in the grave-vic tims to the Old Serpent of Intemperance. Poverty, degradation, and ruin nark the sli my trail of this Old Serpent wherever lie uay chance to wend his way. Could we suec'led in expelling thi< miotster from our country. relieion would asitume a int-re flour ishinut condiion-the hoiner of tue cross would the wave triumphan:ly, where it is now comtemned and scorned by the votaries of Bacebhuz. fRuSTICUS. Chriit in the Garden. Christ e aving bequeathed it) his Church t'e inestimable legacy of his own body and blood, and instituted the great Passover of a new covenant, went out. the saine evening from Jerusalem, and entered the gardent of Gethsemane, situated at the foot .of Mount Olivet. Here it was that the conflict began which ended only on Mount Galvary. As the downfall and ruin of mankind had con menced in a garden, so it was proper that the recovery and redemption of mankind should likewise commence in a garden. The garden of Eden had been the first theatre of sin. So the garden of Gethsemane bEcame tho first stage of our Redeetner's passion. Here his blessed soul underwont an exerucia ting martyrdom, and was drowned in an ocean of sorrows. Here his affectionate heart was seized with strange convulsions of grief, and almost torn asunder with fits of sadness. Here the joy of angels, and the sweet coni fort of all aflicted and distressed souls was overwhelmed with so heavy a load of afflic tion that he breathed forth the doleful com plaint; " My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death." Behold the Son of God pros trate on the earth. le is confounded within himself at the imputation of'our guilt. The leprosy of our sins, which lie is covered, fills him with horror. The enortnous weight of our guilt produced the imost painful and in tense agony; so much so, that even before the hand of man had touched him, he melted as it were by the fire of Divine wrath, so that the sweat Tell from him like drops of blood. We shudder at the account of his sufferings given by the Evangelists, who tell us that he prayed, once, twice, and even a third time, that the cu' of his ailliction might pass from him. And when his bitter trial appioached, and all the powers of the Evil One were let loose upon him, his heart so sank that an angel was sent to strengthen him, In the garden of Gethserane sin was tri umphant. Holiness was abandoned even by the Al-Holy. It was the hour of the- prince of darkness. The Father had withdrawn his consoling presence. The pitiless storm of Divine wrath beat upon the soul of the suffer ing Saviour in all its fury. Ile stood charged with the collective guilt of Adam's fallen race; and all the arrows of Almighty justice flew at once to his heart. How fearful must have been the pressure of that physical suf fering which caused him to pray that. if it were agreeable to the will of his Father, the bitter cup night pass fron him. But this could not be. As the repreaentative of a guilty world, he nust trad the winepress of God's wrath alone. There is no way of re conciling these intense -sufferings of the im maculate Son of God with the attributes of the Mo.st Iligh upon the principles of the Socinian, who utterly denies their vicarious nature.. The agony in the garden is a knot that nothing can untie, but the old doctrine of our sin being really imnded to Christ, and Christ being made a sin and a curse for us. In Lhe agoiy of Jesus we behold, then, the true nature and the proper effects of sin. " The wages of sin is deat h." Therefore his "soul was exceedimg sorrowful even unto death." We see here a sleaciinen .of that "iudignation and wrath, tribulation and an guish," w hich every soul of man would hav, had to suffer, had he not become the sufferer in our stead. Let us think of Gethsemaiie as the place where Jesus bore the wrath < f Jehovah, that we might be restored to his smiles and miercy. As we mtournt over the entrance of the devil into the Gardent of Eden, and the dreadful fall of our fir.,t pa rents, let us behold with joy the "sted of the woman" wrestling with this base usurper in the garden of Gethiseinane, that h,-~ n.ighti enable us to crusb haim benecath our fe,:?. German Reformed M:essenger. Gon's MIERcy is so sweet that it mnahes all his other attributes sweet. Hlolinaess without mercy, and justice without miercy, wvere dreadful. Though the clhildreni of Gotl:-re tnder some clouds of affliction, yet the si n of mercy is never rite out of sight. i aei's justice reaches to the clouds; his tuaercy reaches above the clouds. God's muercy i., like A aron's oil, which rested Riot on his haeadc, but ran clown to the skirts of his garinetni. So the golden oil of mercy dloth ilot re tipy, n the head of a goodi parent, but is pojuredl an his children, and so runs down "to the third and fourth generation." W~Arson. A PREciotus TRUmi.--Christ did not roun' his converts by thousands, nor yet by~ h~un-i dreds, nor yet by tens; but by un~its, .-aying. " There is joy in the presence of the naig.' of God over one sinner that repenteth.'' He valued individuals; and yet at la.,t taball he welcome his redeemned as an inumerable multitude, whomi no man can nunmber. BAKER COUNTY LANIM FOR SA.LE ONT TIME!
