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

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

vere closed against them by the prohihi;ory
seals of papal domination, infallible

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

them.
To this spiritless and mutilated body
if religious observances, most men, add

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

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

vakes to all the trembling horrors of a

icrved, stupihcd, with an effort sinks te
leslruction.
And here I would offer one brief ex- I
lortation, which tome appears important, I
nd strictly practical. Let not your re- j
igion, whatever its extent may be, con. j
ist merely in action, but sometimes'
hink. This may appear a strangeprac. |
ical exhortation ; but let it he remember- j
d that m my are impelled by unsound i
>rinciples, whether of compromise or of
lavish fear, to much that appears religous
in action?are impelled to the fulfilnent
of many religious observances, and
* o
noral duties,and even of many self infliced
and voluntary austerities, by low mo.
ives, which the Gospel refuses to recoglize,
perhaps even classes in the catalogue
>f sins. 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. The ,
eye of Him who se th in secret, and discerneth
the thoughts and intents of the
heart, is this moment fixed upon me. He
whoknoweth ray down sitting, and mine (
uprising, and understanaeth my thoughts
long before, is about my path, and now abo.it
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.
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!. Let me seriously endeavor to
ascertain what are my state and character
noiCj in the sight of Gcd ; and what is

1110 sincerely endeavor to know myself as
j 1 ain known of God.
VV ere I open my eyes for the next
time upon the light of eternity; were
! the rirst object upon which they rested
Christ coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and gr ;at g'ory to take his seat
; upon the throne of final judgment: were
tti3 first sound which m3t my ears my own
name repeated by the voice of the archangel,
and the trump of God, ringing
through the illuminated vault of a flam;
ing and dissolving universe, as he summoned
me to the judgment, is there any
assured hope to which my astounded spirit
could rally with confidence, amid those
complicated terrors ? 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 ?

same confidence, *? Henceforth there is
laid up for me a crown of righteousness, i

I A NEW PROPHET LN|ARABIA. 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

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.
