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<

will not speak of the private study of the
Scriptures, which it is the privilege ant

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

f men would at once admit that tiioy an

them.

of religious observances, most men, adc
in different degrees, certain moral re

You are content to live as if God and e

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 ? ?

. with power and gr;at g'ory to take his seat

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 ,

| 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.
