THE RELIGION OF THE WORLD. There in scarcely a chapter of the New Testament that does not contain precepts, promises, and privileges, which painfully force upon us the striking contrast that exists between the religion of the Bible and the religion of the world. ; The Bible abounds with precepts, against which the vast majority of those who assert that the Bible is the depository of j their creed firmly protest, with heart, and life, and voice?with promises of sancti- i fication, from which they revolt with abhorrence?and privileges of peace and joy in believing, which they think it pride and presumption, enthusiastic and fanatical, that any should profess, or hope to experience. And to complete the proof of man's apostacy from God, and from the spiritual nature in which he was originally created, the Bible carries a battery of terrors, levelled by the hand : of infallible Omniscence against all un- I godliness and unrighteousness of men, j and within whose deadly range the car- j nal mind, whicli is enmity against God, j incessantly prosecutes its earthborn cares, or enjoys its worldly pleasures, in : careless indifference and security; or even riots in the hold defiance of insult- j ing sin. What is the religion of the world ? or, j to put this inquiry into the form in which alone any religious question can l>e practically useful, that of personal appeal, let j the reader ask himself, NVhat is my religion ? | You can thank God that, as to the letter of the commandment, and in the judgment of man, you are not an extortioner, unjust,and adulterer; or even as the ignorant and deluded disciples of the church of Rome, to whom it is not permitted to inspect the charter of th^ir salvation ; w o are blinded, that they may follow bl.nd guides; and are then led hoodwinked through all the mazes of, superstition, so that they know not at j what they stumble. You attend, with tolerable regularity, the public worship of God on the Sabbath morning; but remember that you live in a land professing Christianity, where the forms at least of religion and morality are sanctioncd by the statute law; and by the still stronger law of opinion, under the penalty of forfeited character, so that not only I 1 xl to these moral restraints, Dutaisoio mese religious observances, the law of the land, were it strictly enforced, as well as the law of opinion, obiiges you. And remember that hence and from these motives alone, without any mixture of devotion or reverential feeling towards God, manv a secret and many an avowed infidel, does the same A very few indeed of those who crowd the morning service of our churches, when domestic arrangements happen not to interfere, or some innocent amusement to present its more powerful attraction, appear there occasionally on Sunday evening also. To this perhaps you add, God and your own conscience can tell with what regularity a few?shall I say formal and heartless prayers? i do call them, with respect to the majority of society, formal and heartless because it is morally impossible for that man to pray spiritually whose life is levity or worldliness. It is the same spirit which the same man bears with him to the shop and to the closet, to the theatre of business or pleasure, and to the throne of grace. In all places the spiritual and holy God is equally present, and therefore equally demands a spirit of recollection and watchfulness, of reverence m w i urn ju?ft?? ? ?1 and godly fear. Ilenre, that man whc docs not at least strive that his whole life should be a prayer; who does nol aim at the fulfilment of the apostle's exhortation (and to aim at it is in some degree to fulfil it,) ? Pray always praj without ceasing,"?this man may atstated intervals, repeat words, hut does not and cannot, pray. I w.Jl rot >'| e ik of the weekday services of our Church, because these find r.o place in the religion of tli< world : the vast nmjority of men have probably never e itered a church on ordi nary days fi r the wor hip of Gnd. ] will not speak of the private study of the Scriptures, which it is the privilege ant boast of the Protestant that he can searcl and interpret for himself, hut which boas ted privilege, not merely conceded, bu enforced by the exhur'ations of those whc : arc providentially appointed to watcu u? lerjheir souls, men in general as littk dream of exorcising, as though the Bible were closed against them by the prohibi tory seals of papal domination, infallible authority, and an unknown tongue. ] do not speak of family prayer, and family religion, because without personal relig I ion these cannot ex st; and because mos f men would at once admit that tiioy an not cultivated, nor even thought of by them. To this spiritless and mutilated hod} of religious observances, most men, adc in different degrees, certain moral re straints* and moral duties?an abstinence from those vices which society has bran ded with a mark of infamy, or. v hich are injurious to their temporal interests, te I health or domestic comfort, to prosperity I end advancement in life ; and a read} lischarge of those nmiahle courtesiesanc iropriettes which social life demands; o hat honesty and liberality which hon >ur and gentlemanly feeling claim; o :hat benevolence which the instinct o nature suggests, or which the voice o J public opinion sanctions. I-*--'!... 1 And now, in Christian simplicity, j would ask the reader?and I entreat o him this moment to answer to his owr conscience, and to God?Have I emitter in this summary of your religion a single item, which, if called upon for a full state ment of it, vou vourself would add ? Some 7 J * blessed be God, there are. who conic meekly but firnilv protest against thif j meagre skeleton, as exhibiting the bod) : and substance of their religion; and, ir I telling what great things the Lord hat done for their souls, cauld record mani festationsof Divine love and power, sue! as eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nci ther hath it entered into the heart of th< natural man to conceive. But surel) many must admit the charge. I woulc then ask such^What place in this sum marvofyour religion, even curtailed anc meagre, as it is, does God occupy / How much has been performed in a spirit o prayer, of fillial obedience, of confidenci of gratitude, of holy love ? How mud r ' o,wl wholly, has neen periurmcu,?iiupij with a view to the Divine command, with a single eye to the glory of God 1 What would the answer of conscience were the heart-seeing God this moment to appeal to you with the searching ques. tion?What has thou done unto me 1 Perhaps conscience now falters orequiv. cates in its reply to this vital question, yet you live in perfectease; in undisturh. ed and disengaged security, as thougl | God were propitious, eternity assured tr ' you. And | while common prudence would require ofyou to look well to the [foundation on which an edifice rests tlia you are building for eternity, you are j ready to base y6ur hopes of happinesj and heaven upon this sandy and insecure 'foundation. From this induction of par ticulars wholly inadequate, you are reach te> conclude a fact of such vital importance as the eternal salvation of your immorta soul?a fact which nothing hut the ful current of your affe ctions purified fron the contaminating dross of earth, and the pollutions of the world, and flowing inte the bosom of eternity and of Cod, coulc realize, or even satisfactorily evidence You are content to live as if God and e ternity were indeed but the vision?* oft dream, untiJ some disastrous providence orsome dangerous illness awakens you when perhaps it is too late, to all the hor rors of recollection, and all the realities o vour awful position. You live just like the man, who, walking in a troubled sleep has mounted upon the ridge of some gid dy eminence, and there to the horror o every waking eye, heedless because ig norantof h;s danger, acts over the sport; of his waking hours, manages the race or pushes the cliace, until at length he a wakes to all the trembling horrors of i situation in which but a moment befon he exultinglv rioted , and alarmed, un nerved, stupified, with an ctfort sinks t< destruction. And here I would offer one brief ex hortation, which to me appears important and strictly practical. Let not your religion, whatever its extent may be, con sist merely in action, but sometime; think. This may appear a strangeprac tical exhortation ; but let it be remember ed that m?ny are impelled !>y unsount principles, whether of compromise or o slavish fear, to much that appears relig ious in action?are impelled to the fulfil ment of many religious observances, am moral duties, and even of many self inflic ted and voluntary austerities, hy low mo, tives, which the Gospel refuses to recog. nize, perhaps even classes in the catalogue of sins. Such persons would therefore dread, in the midst cf all their bocitbd per. ? formnnces of a self-justifying righteous- r ; ness, to be confronted with their own c t consciences. f In the silent watches of the night, hold * . some such converse as with your own ? soul. I have now closed mv eyes upon . the light of day, and the pageant of the , world; and darkness, and silence, and ; the presence of God surround rse. The | ; eyeofHim whose th in secret, and dis- j j cerneth the thoughts and intents of the j ? heart, is this moment fixed upon me. He | . whoknoweth my down sitting, and mine ( f 'uprising, and understanaeth mv thoughts \ ? long before, is about my path, and now a- j j bout mv bed, and spieth out all my ways. \ With Him the night is as clear as the , day, and darkness and light to Him are * both alike. Let me then examine myself with sincerity, as in His presence. ] ' i Let me, in this calm and solemn hour, ; " cease to silence the still smaii voice of , j conscience ; to shrink from the knowledge , ; of my true state ; and to close my eyes a- j gainst the view of my ture character; and, ) I since God cannot be mocked, let me now i [ cease to impose upon and decisive my r own sou!. Let me seriously endeavor to . : ascertain what are my state and charac- i t j ter now, in the sight of God ; and what is > i to be my destination for eternity. Let ; i me sincerely endeavor to know myself as II am known of God. r I Were I open my eyes for the next 1 j time upon the light of eternity; were -i ? ? . i the first object upon wnicn mey ru&ieu ? Christ coming in the clouds of heaven . with power and gr;at g'ory to take his seat j upon the throne of final judgment: were j th j first iound w hich ra^t my ears my own j name repeated by the voice of the ar. j I change!, and the trump of God, ringing 1 j through the illuminated vault of a flamf ing and dissolving universe, as he sum. moned me to the judgment, is there any f assured hope to which my astounded spirit f, could rally with confidence, amid those f complicated terrors ? Could I meet all this is in the spirit of the Saviour's ex. [ i hortation to his two disciples, " When f | these things begin to come to pass, then j look up, and lift up your heads, for your | redemption draweth nigh." How would ; it then fare with my soul ? And is there no better security, no firmer assuracne for this mighty stake, than the | vague, faint hope?or to deal honestly ; with myself, the trembling fear?which I r now experience ? The apostle says, ** l: , know whom [ have believed, and I am j persuaded that he is able to keep that . which I have committed to him unto that i day." This is indeed an unfaltering de. . pendence upon the Saviour : do I possess ? it? The same apostle says, " I desire to j depart, and to be with Christ." This is ] indeed the full assurance of faith the con. fidence of Christian hope, the ardent 1 breathing of divine love : do / possess it ? / But perhaps this is the exclusive privilf ege of an inspired apostle, a chosen ves. sel, and not vouchsafed to every believer. . Yea the same apostle says, and with the 1 ( same confidence, ? Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, 1 which the Lord, the righteous Judge, ? will give at that day, and not to me only, hut to all them also which love his ap^ , pearing;" To love then Christ's ap-' f pearing in a simple dependence upon his , atonement and grace, to view with unf shrinking eye the solemnities of the judg. ment day; to anticipate its result with a , hope full of immortality; is here stated } by an inspired apostle to he not only > the -privilege, hut the mark of all those for } whom is laid up a crown of righteous, t ness ; and this privilege1 many a Christian ? meekly asserts that he enjoys. Do I 1 s love Christ's appearing ! Do/enjoy this ' ; blessed privilege ? Why is it not my . hope J j And here still further ask, yourself, ? And have I lived hitherto uninterested aj bout this hope; content, and self-satisfied | I in its absence ; careless for its possession ? , ! If so, resist not, I beseech you, the con? viction which conscience would then , * **? vinai nncuouG it lint. ? ioruu UpUll JUU, urni JUU .? y I because the Comforter, who is the Spirit < j of truth, cannot set the9eal of His testi.

That it is because you are un. 31 pardoned, unreconciled, unsanctified. j Resist not the conviction, that unless you j be horn again, born of the Spirit, you! p cannot* see thekindom of God. Bow yourself beforo the Lord in this day of . His power ; and offer from the heart your r first petition, God he merciful to me a sinner. | A NEW PROPHET [N|ARABIA. " Extract of a letter from Alexandria, in the London Times. j J A great sensation has been created at the palace to-day by the receipt of intolli gence from Beni Om, the scherifi'of Mec, ca. He informs Mehemet Ali that a namtdess person who proclaimed himself! . to be the Imaum, or priest of the Mehdi i 3 promised bv iMahomet, has appeared in . i Yemen, and had drawn a crowd of disci- r, | pies after him, which, when he first ap- j, i i-j i Knn U.n? It j pearoa amounieu iuuuuui xuvu. ucuu- ? ^ nounced no new doctrine, but preached ( the Koran in its purity and enforced its precepts with great strictness wherever " he went; and distributed justice accerding to the holy law with great impartiali ty. He declared himself but the precur sor of the Mehdi, who was already come on earth, and was now at Mecca; whence 5 he would set forth and appear before all . ) true believers in the fullness of time. . Meantime, this Imauin was "working j niracles" in his name. He affords hi I sciples a view of the holy cities by bid ling them look up each of his sleeves, ii ull faith that they will see^here Mecc ind there Medina. He had fed an im nense multitude with a single loaf c >read, &c. His followers now amour o 35,000. He coined silver money c he value of half a piaster (40 to the do ar,) bearing the inscription, " lmaum ( Berrein vel Bahrein; Iinaum el Muntazc Mohammed Mehdi;" which they tran: ate, "lmaum of the two lands (contir jnts) and the two seas (Black and Red the lmaum who awaits Mohamme Mehdi." The Scheriff has sent one c the pieces to the Pasha, struck in the o Jinarv rude style of coinage which pr< /ails in his own mint. Mehernet Ali pretends to take the inte ligence very lightly, as a mixture of fab! and fanaticism; not so with the good Mu sulmans of Alexandria. They are a alive to the importance of the announci ment, and familiar with the propheeii relating to the Mehdi, aud his coming i the latter days to fulfil the law and pr pare for the millenium. El Hadisci Scheriff (the inspired wr tings of Mahomet's apostles, Omar ar Aboubekir, Osman and A sap) speak larg ly of this personage. The "Gife," wri ten by Ali, the son-in-law and kinsma of Mahomet, specially contains prophet announcements of his advent and procee ings. In short, the several sects of M hometan9, however they may quarr about doctrines, all seem to unite in tl belief of this Arabian Messiah, or Para lete, and the expectation of his mission carry out the decrees of Allah and co sumate the glory of Mahomet, who is b: incarnate in this Mehdi, as far as I ct ? j?. i U lUCTMUIJU II. The Mehdi is to appear at Mecca the 40th year of his age; he is to call tl true believers to his standard, and mar* at once to Jerusalem, where he is to reig with power and glory, dispensing justi throughout the earth for seven or nil years. After this period Dejail (li Arabian Antichrist) will rise up, man against him with a great army, and ha' proceeded as far as Elouadi, a village the south, adjacent to Bethlehem, wh( an army of 70,000 angels, command' by Jesus, will descend from heaven earth at Damascus, and come to the re cue. They are to alight upon the famo minerateZ Shnrki, of the East, built up< the ruins of a Christian church dedicati to St. John, and which was so highly r spected by the Mussulmans of Damasc at the period of its conversion to the Mr que of Beni Oini, that they built up tl altar hermetically within it to preserve from profanation; while they slaughter unmercifully those who had knelt ther at. The angelic forces will immediat ly march to Elouadi, attack Dejail's a iny, and utterly destroy both it and hir Then shall all the nations of the earth a knowledge the divine authority of t! Mehdi: Jews, Christians, and Pagai shall all be converted, the millenium sht commence, drc. Your readers will naturally think th all very absurd, and possibly wonder he 35,000 men could be found to believe i those, however, who have been educati to receive it as revelation, are equal ready to exclaim against the infidels, ai to cut their throats, besides, as one the works of merit. The Scheriffof Me ca (who is a greater authority than ev< the Sultan in Religious matters) does n attempt to speak of the Mehdi irreverer ly in his report of this "revival," or make light of the consequences whit have resulted from the credulity and e thu^iasm of the Arabs of Yemen, f knows that the Ottoman empire was bas< on a similar attempt, sustained by simil appeals to Jewish and Christian proph cies, and, in short he knows that 35,0( Arab fanatics are capable of effecting ar thing that can be accomplished by hand lances, swords, and matchdocks. I does not mention the YVahabees as forr ing a part of this dangerous multitud but they are very likely to be concert ed, for though Mehemet Ali extinguish! the political power of their sect in a seri of savage conflicts, still their religio opinions are extensively spread throug out Arabia, where they are looked on t the puritans of the Koran, so "unco' gu and rigidly righteous," that they wou even abolish pilgrimages. They have n merous partisans in Egypt also, especial in Cairo; and even here I find them < the instant ready to quote the propheci of Ali from the "Gife," respecting a rul in Egypt, one of the legion of Dejail, wl shall rise up against the Mehdi and pers cute his people?"one who shall bear n name, and the name of my uncle, yet wl shall be cut off in his sins," &c. Sui spiritual conundrums are dangerous wea ons in the mouths of priests who fii themselves not only neglected,}but taxi and insulted by a ruler who shears the docks to the quick, and believt c hii self strong enough to dispense with tl aid of superstition to sanction his u scrupulous proceedings. y, : r mni.iwA. i m.r.nv OVt/ Jl MM VAA?VJU?ltn^ I Chesterfield District.
