Sermon on Universalis*!. Genesis hi. 4.?And the Serpent said unto the Woman, Ye shall not surely die ? The holy scriptures are a peculiar fund of instruction. They inform us of the origin of creation ; of the primitive state of man : of his fall, or apostacy from God. It appears that he was placed in the gar. den of EJen, with full liberty to regale himself with all the delicious fruits that were to be found, except what grew on one tree?if he eat of that he should surely die, was the declaration of the most high. Happy were the human pair, amidst this delightful paradise, until a certain preacher, in his journey, came that way, and disturbed their peace and tranquility, by endeavoring to reverse the prohibition - - \y _ of the almighty, as i:t our icxi?xe shall not surely die." " Siie plucked, She ate ; Earth felt the wound ; nature from her seat, Sighing through all tier works, gave signs of wo, That all was lost." mtltox. We may attend, To the character o 1 the preacher?To the doctrine inculcated ?To the hearer addressed?To the med'f 11m or instrument of the preaching. 1. As to the preacher, I w< uld observe, he has rnanv names given him in the sacred writings, the most common is the Devil. That it was he that disturbed the felicity of our first parents,is evident from 2 Cor. xi. 3, and many oilier passages of scripture. He was once an angol of light, and knew better than to preach such doctrine?he did v iolence to his own reason. But to he a little more particular, let it be observed, 1. He is an old preacher. II lived nhove one thousand seven hundred years before Abraham?above two thousand four hundred and thirty years before Moses, four thousand and four^vears before. Christ. It is now five thousand and eight hundred and nine years since he common ced preaching.?By this tiino he must have acquired great skill in the art, 2. He is a very cunning artful preach? r. When Klymns the sorcerer, came to turn away people from the faith he is said to b a full of a'i svbUc'ij . rn I a child of the decii?not only because lie was an enemy of all righteousness, but on account of his . careful cunning and craftiness. 3. He is a very laborious unwearied preacher. He has been in the ministry almost six thousand years ; and yet his zeal is not in the least abated. The apostle Peter compares him to a roaring lion, walking about, seeking whom he may devour. When God inquired of this persevering preacher, Job ii. 2 " From whence comest thou ?" he 4k answered the Lord and said, from going to an lfro in the enrth and, from walking up and down in it." He is far from being circumscribed within the narrow limits of parish, state or continent lines; but his haunt and travel is very large and extensive. 4. He is a heterogenous preacher, If I may so express myself. He makes use of a bible when he holds forth, as in his sermon to our saviour, Matth. iv. 6. He mixes truth with error, in order to make it go well or to carry his point. 5. He is a very presum'uous preacher. Notwithstanding Go i has declared in the most plain and positive terms, " Thou shu't surely die"?or " In dying thou shall die"?yet, this audacious-wretch had the impudence to confront Omnipotence, ana say, 44 Ye shall not surely die.'' 6. He is a very successful preacher. He draws a great number after him. No preacher can commnd horor.s like him He was successful! with our first parents ?w ith the old worlh Noah once preached to those spirits that are in the prison of hell; and told them from God that they should surely die; but this prcacharcame along and declared the contiary? Ye shall not surely die. The greater part it seems, believed him. and went to destruction. So it was with S<x!om and Gomorrah and ?Lot preached to them; the substance of which was, 44 Up, get ye out of this place: for the Lord will destroy this city. J Gen. xix 14. hut this old doclaimer told thpm \n dancer! no danger! Ye sha'l 1 ",v"v r? o not surely die. To which tlicy generally gave heed ; and Lot seemed to them as one who mor/ee/?Tbc-y believed the universal preacher and were consumed ; agreeably to rhe declaration of the Apostle Jude, Sodom and Gomorrah and (he cilics about them suffering the vengeance of eternal fire II. Let us attend to the doctrine inculcated by this preacher. Ye shall not surety die. Bold assertion! without a single argument to support it. Thedeath contained in the threatening, was doubtless eternal death?as nothing hut this would express God's feelings toward sin, or render a a infinite atonement necessary. To suppose it to be spiritual death, is to blend crime and punishment together. To suppose temporal death to be the curse, of the law, then believers, are not delivered from it, according is Gal. iii. 15. What Satan meant to preacn was that there is no hell; and that the wages of sin is not death but eternal life. III. Wc shall now take notice of the hearer addressed by the preacher. This we have in the text, And the serpent said tinto the wom vx, Ye shall not surely die, That Eve had not so much experience as . Adam, is evident; and so was not equally able 10 withstand temptation. This doubtless was a reason why the tempter chose her, with whom he might hope to be successful. Doubtless he took a time when she was separated from her husband. That this preacher has had the greatest success 111 the dark and ignorant parts of the earth, is evident : his kingdom is a kingdom of darkness. He is a great enemy to light. St. Paul gives us some account of him in his dav?2 Tim. iii. 6. " For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women, | laden with sins, led away with divers lusts." i The same apostle observes, Rom. xvi. I 17, 18. Now 1 beseech you, brethren, ! mark them which cause divisions and of| fences contrary to the d?ctrine which ye I have learned, and avoid them. For they | that are such, serve not our Lord Jesus i Christ, but their own belly ; and by good , ; words and fair speeches deceive the hearts i of the simple. IV. The instrument or medium made J use of by the preacher will now be con[ side red. This we have in the text?-And , the Skrpext said unto the Woman Ye shall j not surely die. But how catne the devil i to preach through the serpent ? I 1. To save his own character, and the j better to carry his point. Had the devil come to our tirst parents personally and unmasked, they would more easily have seen the deccpfiou. The reality of a future punishment is at times so clearly imj pressed on the human mind, that even Saj tan is constrained to own that there is a i hell: although at other times he denies it. j 7 O He does not wish to have it known that j lie is a liar; therefore he conceals himself, I that he can the better accomplish his deJ .signs, and save his own character. 2. Tuc Devil is an enemy to all good, | to all happincsg and excellence. He is (opposed to the felicity of the brutes. He ' took delight in tormenting the swine. The serpent, before he setup preaching universal salvation, was a cunning beautliful happy creature; but now his glory is j departed. "And the Lord said unto the : serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above aH cattle, and above evej ry beast of the field : upon thy belly shall thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the ! days of thy iife.?There is, therefore, a ? Aiinninrr ? n < kn moHnr I niuu ui uu|;ii?y<iic vuiiiuiig tn inv/ umwivi ; Satan gets the preacher and hears a'so. | 44 And is not this triumphant treachery, And more than a mple conquest in the foe;*' T<>VNO. S 3. Another reason why Satan employs instruments in his service, is, because his I empire is large, and he cannot he every : where himself. 4. He has h large number at his comm:u:d, thai love and approve of his work, ! delight in building tip his k;ng loin, and stand r.'ulv t<? goat his call. l\fi: n p:\ces. j 1. The devil is not dead, but still lives ; : and is able to preach as well as ever. 1 e skill no? surely die. 2. Universai salvation is no new fangled scheme, but can boa^t of great an'.iquily. 3. See a reason why it ought to he rejected, because it fs an ancient devilish j doctrine. S?e one reason why it is that Satan is 1. _ i I _ _ \ it. f > t I . 1 a sum a moriat enemy 10 mc Dime, ana 10 j j all who preach the gospel, because of (hat i injunction, Mark xvi. 15, 16. "And hel said unto them, Go ye into ail the world, j and preach iho gospel to every creature. I He 'hat belioveth and is babiized, shall ht. ! saved, hut he that believcth not shall he I damned. j 5. See whence it was that Satan exerted himself so much to convince our first parents that there was no hell, because the denunciation of the Almighty was true, and he was afraid that Adam and Eve would continue in the belief of it. Was there no truth in future punishment, or was it only a temporary evil, Satan j would not be so busy in trying toconvincc men that then* is none. It is his nature! awl element to lie. When hespeaketh | a lie, he speakoth of his own for lie is a li- j ar and the father of it." John viii. 41. 0. We infer that ministers should not I he proud of their preaching.?-If they j preach the true gospel, they only in sub- i i stance repeat Christ's sermons. If thev j preach. Ye shall no! surely die, thev only j take the devil's old notes, that he de; live-rod almost 6000 years ago. i 7. It is probable that the doctrine of Universal Salvation will still prevail, since j litis preacher is yet alive, and not in the least superannuated ; and every effort a1 gainst him only enrages hi.rn more, and j ' excites him to new inventions and exertions to build up his cause. 1 To close the subject.?As the author of the foregoing discourse has confined himself wholly to the character of Satan, he trusts no one will feci himself personally i injured bv this short sermon : But should j any imbibe a degree of friendship for this ( aged divine, and think that I have not i not treated this Universal Preacher w ith j that respect and veneration that he | justly deserves, let them be so kind as to ! point it out, and I will most cheerfully re tract: for it has ever been a maxim with j me, " Render unto all their dues." From the Theological Magazine. A writer on universal salvation closed I his piece with the following quotation i from Pope : "The seas shall w.tsto, the skies in smoke . decay, Rooks fail to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixt his word, his saving power remains, Thy realm forever lasts, ihy own -Messiah reigns;" i An antagonist made the following adi dition to them : universalis:* indeed. "When seas shall wasto and skios in smoke decay, Rocks tail to dust and mountains melt away; In adamantine chains shall death ho hound. And hell's grim tyrant feel the eternal Wound." But all his children reach Pi r Eder.'s shore, Not e'er to see their father Satan moie. Tito tottering drunkards shall to glory reel, /.nd common strumpets endless pleasure feel. Blest are the haughty who despise the poor, tor they're cut it 1 .-d to heavenly store Blest all who I nigh and scoff -t truth divine, F or bold revilers endless comfort find.

THE EXERCISES of tins Institution will be resumed on the second Monday in Junun. ry next in dor the direction of .Mr. Chmnc/ I'. Judd as Principa in the Male, and Miss Ann Tiiroop in the Female Department. Mr. Judd is a graduate of Yale College, | has had some experience in teaching and j presents with his application, a strong certificate of character and Competency, to teach from President Day Profesor Sillunan, and thp res' of 'fie Faculty of Yale, as well as a number of distinguished references; in this IS'ate. The object of the course of instruction will be to tit pupils for any class in college, for mer ' ' H _? l-._ ?l'l cantile pursuits, anaoiner waiK? oi me. i ntmnde of teaching will be the inductive, pro. ceeding from truth* Pimple and at once admit, ted. to those more difficult. Reviews wil be frequent and rigorous. rI lie scholars improvement will not be estimated by the space gone over, nor merely by the number of ideas lie ohtains; but by the use he can make of them.? Greek. Latin, and French, will lie taught; and besides the customary English studies, instruction will beg.wn in {Surveying. Book-keeping, and in tin* chief papers ot commerce. M.fs Tiironp was Educated at the Burlington Female Seminary in Vermont where lie cour-e was snffic.ienily thorough to induce Miss Green the accomplished I'nnciphl of that Institution to certify m almost unqualified terms to her competency for teaching in the most respectable Female Schools: Miss Throop presents moreover wrh her application high tea imomals, from sources of distinction hi this state, where she has taught during r tie present year. The Trustees h.vingthus selected Teachers to their entire satisfaction for both Departments the ensuing year, qualified in their ojunio.) to import a thorough, and accomplished education? they appeal confidently to the sui rounding country new to cotne up liberally to the support ul this excellent Institution. To those who from the absence of such facilties in educating their children, have to seek them abroad, this place it would seem should recommend itself above almostany other. The Village m winch the School is locaicu i* considered beautiful, aHd is undoubtedly healthy it is a'so remarkably tjniet, moral and even Rel gious having none of those tempta ions so dangerous to tender age which use lly infect Villages?such as dissipation, Vice and immorality of every discriptv n.
