From the London Christian Observer. THE RELIGION OF THE WORLD. ! There is scarcely a chapter of the New < Testament that does not contain pre- i ccpts, promises, and privileges, which i painfully force upon us the striking con- i lra>t that exists between the religion of, I the Bible and the religion of the world. 11 The Bible abounds with precepts, against j which the vast majority of those who ; assert that the Bible is the depository of t their creed firmly protest, with heart, and [ i life, and voice?with promises of sanctification, from which they revolt with i abhorrence?and privileges of peace and ioy 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 apostacv from God, i and from the spiritual nature in which he i was originally created, the Bible carries ; | a battery of terrors, levelled by the hand < of infallible Ouiniscence against all un- I godliness and unrighteousness of men, ' and within whose deadly range the car- j' nal mind, which is enmity against God, | incessantly prosecutes its earlhborn ;' cares, or enjoys its worldly pleasures, in cureless indifference and security ; or ' even riots in the hold defiance of insult- , ing sin. What is the religion of the world ? or, ' I to put this inquiry into the form in which alone any religious question can he practically useful, that of personal appeal, let! the reader ask himself, What is my religion? You can thank God that, as to the let ' ter of the commandment, and in the judgment of man, you are not an extor-.; tioner, unjust,and adulterer; or even as ' the ignorant and deluded disciples of the church of Rome, to whom it is not per- i mitted to inspect the charter of their sal- ; vation; w o are blinded, that they i way follow bl.nd guides ; and are then ' led hoodwinked through all the mazes of! I ? superstition, so that they know not at j | what they stumble. You attend, with ! i tolerable regularity, the public worship of i God on the Sabbath morning; but remember that you live in a land profes- I sing Christianity, where the forms at < least of religion and morality are sanction- < td by the statute law ; and by the still i stronger law of opinion, under the penal- j 1 t* f r + I i . _ A| a , 1.. I . ly 01 lorieueci cnaracier, so inai ijoi ?nnv (j to these moral restraints, but also to these ; t religious observances, the law of the land, JI were it strictly enforced, as well as the ( law of opinion, obliges you. And rernem- < ber that hence and from these motives 1 alone, without any mixture of devotion < or reverential feeling towards God, manv ( asecret and many an avowed infidel, 1 does the same A very few indeed of > those who crowd the morning service of I our churches, when domestic arrange- i inents happen not to interfere, or some c innocent amusement to present its more ?c.i _ .l 1 j>u?ci iin auuiciiuii, it|ipear lllt"re ucta* > sionallv on Sunday evening also. To < this perhaps you add, God and Your own I conscience can tell with what regularity j s a few?shall I say formal and heartless t prayers? I do call them, with respect to / the majority of society, formal and heart- ( less because it is morally impossible for | that man to prav spiritually whose life is i levity or worldlincss. It is the same i spirit which the same man bears with i him to the shop and to the closet, to the i theatre of business or pleasure, and to the I throne of grace. In all places the spirit- i ual and holy God is equally present, and i therefore equally demands a spirit of re- < collection and watchfulness, of reverence < md godly fear. Hence, that man who Iocs not at least strive that his whole ife should be a prayer; who does not lim at the fulfilment of the apostle's exiortation (and to aim at it is in some de. rree to fulfil it,) ? Pray always pray vithout censing,"?this man may atstaed intervals, repeat words, hut does not, tnd cannot, pray. I will rot s| e ik of the veekday services of our Church, because hese find no place in the religion of the vorld: the vast irmjority of men have robably never e itered a church on ordi. jary days fi r the wor hip of G.>d. I vill not speak of the private study of the scriptures, which it is the privilege aid oast o.' the Protestant that he can search ind interpret for himself, hut which boas, ed privilege, not merely conceded, but inforced by the exhor'atinns of those who ' tn liratf*)) nV. ire proviuenuunv <iu|'"iu>eu ?./ jr^Jheir souls, men in general as little 1 ream of exercising, as though the Bible vere closed against them by the prohihi;ory seals of papal domination, infallible iuthority, and an unknown tongue. I jo not speak of family prayer, and family eligion, because without personal religion these cannot ex st; and because most uen would at once admit that they are not cultivated, nor even thought of bv ' O ? them. To this spiritless and mutilated body if religious observances, most men, add n different degrees, certain moral re. straint&and moral duties?an abstinence from those vices which society has branled with a mark of infamy, or. v hich are injurious to their temporal interests, to health or domestic comfort, to prosperity ind advancement in life ; and a ready lischarge of those amiable courtesies and iropriettes which social life demands; of hat honesty and liberality which hon>ur and gentlemanly feeling claim; of [hat benevolence which the instinct of nature suggests, or which the voice of mblic opinion sanctions. And now, in Christian simplicity, I vould ask the reader?and I entreat of lim this moment to answer to his own I :onscience, and to God?Have I omitted n this summary of your religion a single tem, which, if called upon for a full state, nent of it, you yourself would add ? Some, | ilessed be God, there are. who could i neekly but firmly protest against this * ' k.-w]ir meagre skeleton, as cxniuuing mc ?????? ind substance of their religion; and, in telling what great things the Lord had lone for their souls, cauld record manifestations of Divine love and power, such is eve hath not seen, nor ear heard, nei:her hath it entered into the heart of the natural man to conceive. But surely many must admit the charge. I would then ask such,-.What place in this summary of your religion, even curtailed and neagre, as it is, does God occupy / How much has been performed in a spirit of >raver, of fillial obedience, of confidence )f gratitude, of holy love 1 How much ins been performed,simply and wholly, vith a view to the Divine command, vith a single eye to the glory of God ? What would the answer of conscience were the heart-seeing God this moment .0 appeal to you with the searching ques. tion?What has thou done unto me? Perhaps conscience now falters orequiv. cates in its reply to this vital question, yet you live in perfectease; in undisturbed and disengaged security, as though (*od were propitious, eternity assured to you. And | while common prudence would require ofyou to look well to the foundation on which an edifice rests that you are building for eternity, you are ready to base your hopes of happiness md heaven upon this sandy and insecure oundation. From this induction of par:iculars wholly inadequate, you are ready :o conclude a fact of such vital importance is the eternal salvation of your immortal ioul?a fact which nothing hut the full ? current of your affections purified from he contaminating dross of earth ..nd the >ollutions of the world, and flowing into * ? he bosom of eternity and of God, could i ealize, or even satisfactorily evidence. I fou are content to live as if God and e-! ernity were indeed but the visions of a , Iream, until some disastrous providence ; Aanorprnus illness awakens you, vhen perhaps it is too late, to all the hor- ! ors of recollection, and all the realities of I rour awful position. You live just like! he man, who, walking in a troubled shvp, j tas mounted upon the ridge of some gid- 1 ly eminence, and there to the horror of j very waking eye, heedless because tg- | lorant of h:s danger, acts over the sports j >f his waking hours, manages the racer >r pushes the cliace, until at length he a. vakes to all the trembling horrors of a iluation in which hut a moment before ~ ?nn.l nbiriiiefl.

Such persons would therefore Iread, in the midst cf all their boosted per formnnces of tt self.junifying righteous- i ness, to be confronted with their own < consciences. * In (lie silent watches of the night, hold ' some such converse as with your own ' soul. I have now closed my eyes upon the light of day, and the pageant of the world; and darkness, and silence, and the presence of God surround r?e.

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. Let me, in this calm and solemn hour, j cease to silence the still small voice of conscience ; to shrink from the knowledge of my true state; and to close my eyes against the view of my ture character; and, ; since God cannot be mocked, let me now cease to impose upon and decisive my own sou!.

Could I meet all this is in the spirit of the Saviour's exi hortation to his two disciples, " When these things begin to come to pass, then 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 hones'Jy with myself, the treinbiing fear?which I now experience ? The f.postle says, ?* IJEritotrwhom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which 7 have committed to him unto that day." This is indeed an unfaltering dependence upon the Saviour: do I possess it? The same apostle says, " I desire to depart, and to be with Christ." This is indeed the full assurance of faith the confidence of Christian hope, the ardent breathing of divine love do I possess it ? f>.?* nn.kniia llliu Id fko d VolllOI Vfl TIMl/lt.

I I Extract of a letter from Alexandria, in the i London Times. |i A great sensation has been created at j the palace to-day by the receipt of intelli- 1 gence from Deni Orn, the selieriffof Mec- J I ca. He informs Mehcmet Ali that a I nameless person who proclaimed himself! to be the Imaiirn, or priest of the Mehdi i promised bv Mahomet, has appeared in i /* i Li YVmen, and had drawn a crowd 01 disci- r. pies after him, which, when he first ap- j, pearod amounted to about 1500, He an- 11 nounred no new doctrine, but preached j [ the Koran in its purity and enforced its i ' precepts with great strictness wherever he went; and distributed justice according to the holy law with great impartiality. He declared himself hut the precursor of the Mehdi, who was already come on earth, and was now at Mecca; whence he would set forth and appear before all , true believers in the fullness of time. Meantime, this Iraaum was "working j miracles" in his name. He affords his i sciples a view of *he holy cities by biddin?? them look up each of his sleeves, in full faith that they will see^here Mecca and there Medina. He had fed an imrnense multitude with a single loaf of l>rcad, &c. His followers now amount r to 35,000. He coined silver money of the value of half a piaster (40 to the dol- ai lar,) bearing the inscription, " lmaum el " Berrein vel Bahrein; lmaum el Muntazar a Mohammed Mehdi;" which they trans- A late, "lmaum of the two lands (contin- p ents)and the two seas (Black and Red,) d the lmaum who awaits Mohammed JL Mehdi." The Scheriff has sent one of p the pieces to the Pasha, struck in the or- a dinarv rude style of coinage which prevails in his own mint. Meheinet Ali pretends to take the intelligence very lightly, as a mixture of fable S and fanaticism; not so with the good Mus sulmans of Alexandria. They are all alive to the importance of the announce- j ment, and familiar with the prophecies ^ relating to the Mehdi, and his coming in the latter days to fulfil the law and pre- 11 pare for the millenium. a El Hadisci Scheriff (the inspired wri- M tings of Mahomet's apostles, Ornar and d \bouhekir, Osman and A sap) speak large- j? ly of this personage. The "Gife," written by Ali. the son-in-law and kinsman of Mahcmet, specially contains prophetic C announcements of his advent and proceedings. In short, the several sects of Mahometans, however they may quarrel about doctrines, all seem to unite in the belief of this Arabian Messiah, or Parac- ^ lete, and the expectation of his mission to carry out the decrees of Allah and consuinate the glory of Mahomet, who is to b: incarnate in this Mehdi, as far as I can " u iderstand it. The Mehdi is to appear at Mecca in the 40th year of his age; he is to call the true believers to his standard, and march at once to Jerusalem, where he is to reign f with power and glory, dispensing justice ] throughout the earth for seven or nine years. After this period Dejail (^the Arabian Antichrist) will rise up, march i against him with a great army, and have j proceeded as far as Elouadi, a village in the south, adjacent to Bethlehem, when < an army of 70,000 angels, commanded by Jesus, will descend from heaven to earth at Damascus, and come to the rescue. They are to alight upon the famous minerateZ Shorki, of the East, built upon j the ruins of a Christian church dedicated t to St. John, and which was so highly re- < spected by the Mussulmans of Damascus ( at the period of its conversion to the Mos- ' que of Beni Oini, that they built up the altar hermetically within it to preserve it from profanation; while they slaughtered unmercifully those who had knelt thereat. The angelic forces will immediate, ly march to Elouadi, attack Dejail's ar? iny, and utterly destroy both it and him. Then shall all the nations of the earth ac- 1 knowledge the divine authority of the Mehdi: Jews, Christians, and Pagans a shall all be converted, the millenium shall commence, 4cc. Your readers will naturally think this all very absurd, and possibly wonder how 35,000 men could be found to believe it: those, however, who have been educated to receive it as revelation, are equally ready to exclaim against the infidels, and to cut their throats, besides, as one of . the works of merit. The Scheriffof Wee- 8 ca (who is a greater authority than even the Sultan in Religious ma tiers) does not . attempt to speak of the Mehdi irreverently in his report of this "revival," or to make light of the consequences which ? have resulted from the credulity and en-1 thu^iasm of the Arabs of Yemen. He knows that the Ottoman empire was based on a similar attempt, sustained by similar appeals to Jewish and Christian prophecies, and, in short he knows that 35,000 Arab fanatics are capable of effecting any ] thing that can be accomplished by hands, lances, swords, and match-locks. He i n/->f innntinn thf? WnhntlPPS AS form* UUUJ IIWI Iiivuuv;tj I Iiw *. ing a part of this dangerous multitude; but they are very likely to be concern- ed, for though Mehemet Ali extinguished the political power of their sect in a series { of savage conflicts, still their religious * opinions are extensively spread throughout Arabia, where they are looked on as the puritans of the Koran, so "unco' guid and rigidly righteous," that they would even abolish pilgrimages. They have nn- j { merous partisans in Egypt also, especially j in Cairo; and even here 1 find them on the instant ready to quote the prophecies of Ali from the "Gife," respecting a ruler in Egypt, one of the legion of Dejail, who 1 1 shall rise up against the Mehdi and perse- j cute hi3 people?"one who shall bear my | name, a;id the name of niv uncle, yet who j shall be cut off in his sins," A;c. Such ' spiritual conundrums are dangerous weap- j ? ons in the mouths of priests who find | j themselves not only negleeted.Jbut taxed j j and insulted bv a ruler who shears their j t< docks to the quick, and believti him- f self strong enough to dispense with the b aid of superstition to sanction his un- c scrupulous proceedings.
