[From the Liverpool Mercury ] A correspondence bas come into our pos-1 session, lor the authenticity of which we can vouch. It consists ol a series of letters which passed between a person who made lt his trade to write sermons, and a Church of England clergyman who made it bis business to preach them in a church some forty or Atty miles from. Liverpool. The sermon writer would appear to have been an obscure news? paper reporter ont of work. The clergyman (wno carried on his correspondence under a J feigned name, and had his letters and MSS. addressed under cover to his grocer) was a much-esteemed rector-none of your wild j young curates, but a reputable, middle-aged, parochial personage, with a living ol his own to subsist on. . The ball seem-i to have been opened by the sermon, writer with j an advertisement Jn a Manchester paper, addressed "to clergymen," and oller Int; "original sermons," on terms to be ascer? tained of the advertiser. To this the clergy? man replies, asking what the terms are, and Intimating that as be is not blessed with a "long j purse," there will be no trade done "unless the price is very low indeed." The sermon writer replies that his "usual terms are a I guinea per sermon," but that it the clergy? man "ls likely lo become a regular customer" he "will put them In for half a guinea each." The clergyman writes that be ls likely to be? come a regular customer; offers to take twelve j sermons per month, "it be can have them at j the rate of three for five and twenty shillings;'1 and stales, finally, that 'il these terms ure accepted, the sermon writer may at Once send thu first'on approval.'" The sermon writer ] certifies that he will do the work for the snm stated, on condition that no MSS. are to be returned If the first three are accepted. The clergyman assents, the sermon writing begins, and the correspondence becomes more Inter? esting. It would seem that two of the sermons have beea delivered, and that the writer ot them, being either distrustful or "hard np," has ap? plied for "something on account." At all evento, he gets this letter: "Dear slr, If you will send me a sermon forthwith on the Chris? tian's victory over death, founded on a similar passage to the one in 1st Corinthians, 15th c napier-'Th e last enemy,' ftc.-and I approve of lr, then will remit you the 25s., upon receipt of whlcn you can send as BOO u as possible three more of stirring subjects suitable for Sabbath evening uses.-'' The sermon goes, and In re? ply comeB this letter: "Dear s'r, I have Just re-1 ceived MS. Shall not need Jt to-morrow. Ap firove of it with one exception, which I should Ike you to remedy. Will then remit you. Hav? ing given a description of man when death en- j tered -toto ire world, I think, In as glowing language as possible, a description should bi given of Car st's resurrection from the dead, when death was conquered and the devil de? feated. Let me havswftrappendage as soon as possible. Will thenOTilfli before mentioned {agreement, upon receipt of which you wiii j ilease send two more at once on striking sub eel^ dressed Inas glowing /lowery (Italics in l original) langrnage as you like." At this po*.ut j the correspondence, except so far ns lt relates to remittances, breaks off for a mooth, Irom which we Judge that the writer laid on the color with a su?lclen tl y unsparing hand. Then we get this: "Dear air, having been from home, I did not receive yours until this day. Approve of lt, if you please append a graphic description of God's love manifested In the gift or His Son for sinners, coupled with a glowing description of Christ's dying on the. cross, the consummation of love. Was too late this evening for P. 0. 0. Will Bend lt on Monday." The next letter sets forth that "one ol'the last sent (that on 'Wheat and Tares') could not be used, having taken the very ! same subject only a few Sundays be- ' lore." "Caa ' you take this back," the clergyman proceeds, "and send me two, one on the nature and advantages of faithful pray er, founded on such a subject as the Syrophcenl cian woman-should like that subject-the other on the reward of a holy life, founded on such a passage as 'Say ye to the righteous,' ?c., or 'There remains, therefore, a rest for the people of God.' Your attention will oblige." The sermon writer replies that he ls quite .-willing to write on either ol the sub? jects suggested, but he declines pointblank to take back "Wheatand Tares." "The compact was that no MSS. were to be returned if the first three were accepted." What became of that unhappy sermon, therefore, must remain a mystery. Perhaps i lt was "saved up" for future use.. After this, however, the clergy? man 13 prudent enough to furnish his own texts, (which he seldom did before.) and even j to ike tera ont the form o? treatment to be adopted. For instance-"Please send me a sermon on the words 'Work while lt ls yet j day.' First, the introduction; then, on'the day.' Secondly, on the nature of the 'work firstly, the sinner's work, [salvation; Be-1 condly, the Christians work, to aid In mend? ing this bad world, In diffusing and spreading the Gospel, with a glowing description of | - the evU that surrounds us; and thirdly, the reward of the work, the wages paid. Later OD, again, we got this-''Dear sir, will j you send the second sermon ot present course from these words, 'And lhere ls room?' My Idea of the passage rons something after tbe J following: First, Introduction. Bring in forci? bly and clearly the reason and occasion of the words. First division, the Gospel provision in the Church of Christ, with a bold and strik? ing glance at the number of believers of every caste and character who have been admitted into Its pale. The ohuroh on earth compared to a railway train-passengers of all ages, ?fcc. A vessel playing on the waters of the sea, ic. Secondly, the 'room*In Heaven, with apathetic picture ot the saved-and yet there ls 'room'- - room tor all-room for me, ?c. The third text .will send In a few days, when please enclose account." The next and concluding letter of KtiB series ls too long to quote In full. It [ ??igIns about "the account" und "the remit .ance," and goes on to ask for a sermon on the words,* "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord."' The writer la to "adopt his own course In intro? duction," but he is to get In a de? scription, "in as lord ble and graphic langage as possible," of ibe first "anos-1 ties- fishermen, tax-gatherers," ?c., and con? trast them with "the great ones, the leading ones, of this day." He ls also to "brinn in tbe Reformation, Marlin Luther," Ac, In "as Slowing language as possible," and then- to escribe "the posit ir r. of the church at the present day-perfect machinery-every adu-l vantage taken lor a glorious Ingathering of f souls," Ac, Alter this there is to be a "vivid picture" drawn of "the sinner saved, not by a | visible hand stretched from Heaven, not by a perceptible voice rinsing forth from the throne, not an angel with brilliant wings, not by might nor by power, but by," 4c. Lastly, the "ooer nf Heaven" ls to be "seen distinctly open? with the saved Christian triumphantly j entering lt." "You will perceive from the \ above sketch," says the clergyman, "that I like the flowery style. Will you try to accom-1 inodatQ me ?" This last sermon seems never I to have been written. Whether it was beyond the reporter's power, or whether he got something better to do, does not appear. All that does appear ls that th ; correspoocence sudden)^ ceases, and does not get resumed.
