=== . 1 ?r Irum Neviiib' Practical Thought*. HOW CAME IT TO PASS ? That three thousand were converted on j the day of Pentecost?how came it to ? pass? The truth as it is in Jesus was j preached and the power of God acconi- j pained and made the truth effectual. Hut hud not the meeting for prayer, of which mention is made in Acts, I: 14, a close and indueutua! connection with the glori- j ous results of that day and thai discourse? j Undoubtedly it had. But what was there ; in that meeting of the hundred and twenty ! disciples, to exert an influence to the con-1 version of three thousand individuals?? i Whence had it that power? 1 answer, it was a prayer meeting?-professedly and 1 up t inly a prayer meeting. If it had been < a meeting for preaching, it would not have exerted the influence it did. even th.nHi O prayer .had preceded and followed the sermon. It was a prayer meeting?a I' _ .1,A. meeting 01 xnnsaaus ;o express mvu w pendence on God; unitedly to call on liim , for his blessing; to plead tlx* promise, and to wait for the fulfilment of it. Those are the ejicient meetings, in which Christians meet and agree to ask of God. I wonder they do not value them more. To tit prayer meeting Christians come, to ever-, cise the high privilege of intercession frc others?to do good and to communicate? act the "more blessed" part; whereas to meetings of another kind,they go from the far less benevolent purpose of receiving good. Yet Christians value no meetings so little as prayer meetings! And, 0 shame! no prayer meeting do they value so little as that which Christ himself may be said to have established in saving, "When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven; hallowed he thy name: thy kingdom come." The Monthly Concert, though it occur but once a month, and though our Savoir, iu the prayer he has given us, has expressly instructed us to pray specially for the c-onvrsion of the world, yet how thinly is it atA 1 .11 I ,l. t".C. leuueu: i piiv lot; ocaou-ii. i<iui aw tew nn; disposed to meet to pray lor them, l or liie church, I blush that it should be so. Hut the influence of that meeting ot' a hundred and twenty was not owing entirely to its being a prayer meeting. Many meetings for prayer are held, and no such effects follow. There must have been j something peculiar about that prayer meet- ; ing, to account for its efficacy. There was much by which it was distinguished from ordinary prayer meetings. The mention of some of these peculiarities mav be of service. It may provoke imitation in some churches. 1. All the church attended that prayer meeting. "These all continued,'' <Scc.? There were but a hundred and twenty disciples, and they were all present. Not a member of the church was absent, unless j providentially detained. How different j is it now! Now, if so many as a hundred ; and twenty can be coliected in a prayer i meeting, yet they represent perhaps a 1 church of five or six hundred communi-1 cants, and all the rest are with one accord | absent. They who meet may agree among ! themselves to ask for an outpouring of the Spirit, but it is, after all, but the agreement of a minority of the church. The niajori. ty, by their absence dissent from their request. 2. As all attended, of course the men at. tended as well as the women. Yes, every i male member of the church w& present, and 1 suppose tbe males were more than one j half of the number. They did not leave it to the women to sustain the prayer meet- j ings. That prayer meeting had not the aspect of many a modern prayer meeting, j ttnd in which almost all are of the weaker , sex. 3. The most distinguished members of; -i i ? ii .i . i tne cnurcn aueuaeo, as w?u us me musi \ obscure. There were all the apostles, and 'Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brethren." None of them felt above being at a j prayer meeting. How is it now? Let that j question answer itself. j 4. They were all agreed?"of one ae-| cord," as it is said. Not merely agreed J touching what they should ask, viz. the j fulfilment of "the promise of the Father," j hut of one mind generally?aye, and of one j heart. They thought and felt alike.?! Thev all loved one another. Thev obser- j ved the new commandment. .Such cor- j dial union among Christians has great i power with God. It does not always exist in our prayer meetings. j 5. They persevered in prayer. "These all continued in prayer." First they stirr 1 .1 1 .... I- ~ CO XlieillSei* CS up ilf latvr iiwiu, uu uuu, ; and then they said, "We will not let thee j go, except thou biess us." They met ol-1 ten ior prayer; and all met, and they linger- i ed long at the throne of grace. There | were not some who came to the meeting once for a wonder, or only occasionally.? No; "these all continued," &c. It is not so now. But how long did they continue asking? Until they obtained; and then they did but pass from the note of prayer to that of praise. Thev sought the Lord until he came. It is time we all should do it. They were together?holding meeting ?when the Spirit decended. I think if all our church members would ! habitually attend the prayer meetings rn^n j as well as women, rich as well as poor, and be "ot one accord" in heart, as well { as in judgement, ami would continue in i prayer, they would not wait in vain for; "the promise of the Father." O for such \ prayer meetings! But now they are dc-1 spised by many. How often we hear it' said, It is nothing but a prayer meeting!? j Nothing but! I should like, for my part, to know what surpasses a prayer meeting.? And often on what unworthy conditions do those called Christians suspend their attendance. They must know who is to conduct the meeting, who will probably lead in prayer, and from whom a word of exhortation may be expected; and if the meeting is not likelv to be to their mind, From Booth's Pastoral Cautious.

IX the parish where Mr. Ilervey preach- 1 d, when he inclined to Arminian sentiments j here re-sided a ploughman, who usually at- [ ended tlie ministry of I)r. Doddridge, and raswell informed in tiie doctrines of grace; ! dr. Ilervcy being advised by his physician ! L>r the benefit of his health, to follow the lough, in order to smell the fresh earth, frc[ucntly accompanied this ploughman in his ural employment. Understanding the >Soughman was a serious person, he said to lira one morning, " What do you think is lie hardest thing in religion ?" To which le replied, *' I am a poor illiterate man, ana , 011, Sir, are a minister : I beg leave to reurn the question." Then said Mr. lier,ey, " I think the hardest tiling is to de- | iv sinful self;" grounding his opinion on j hat solemn admonition of our Lord, "Ifj my man will come after me let him deny i limself." I harangued, says Mr. Ilervy, I * 1 ~.I .3...,. !

In this way, I shot my random bolt. The ploughman re hed, " Here is another instance of self dei::d, to which the injunction extends, and A'hirh :s >4'very great moment in the Chrisian religion; 1 mean tiie instance of re. louncing our own strength and our own ighteousness,not leaning en that for ho'iiiess lor relying on this for justification." In r<-. seating the story to a friend, Mr. Hcrvy ; ibsened, I then hated the righteousness of f'hrist, I looked at the man with astonish- j nentand disdain, I thought him an old fool, | md wondered at (what I then fancied) the ! notlev mi xture of piety and oddity in his i lotions. I have seen clearly since who j .vas the look not the wise old Christian, but ' he proud James Hcrvey. I now discern j sen&e, solidity, and truth in his observation."

I passed the night in D with an enterprising citizen, and in the morning as te was stepping into the stage to be absent for a week, lie said to his wife, 'my dear, o be sure and wind up the clock Sunday.* lie was a good citizen, and believed his [Jible, and had often read the divine di. ection ahout tho Sabbath. 'In it thou ihaltnotdo any.1 I wonder he had not said to be sure and have all your little maters adjusted before the Sabbath, that you ind your children may spend tho whole lay serving (iod, and preparing for eterr>... liu oni/t Mw? euro I IU>? UUl lli5icuu UI liiai 11V JUIU) uv ouiv ind wind up the clock Sunday.' This lirection run through my mind for hours, ind as the thought expanded a little,I found oy friend D??was much like other people, reserving many little things to be lone on the Lord's day. I thought as I massed the streets, that I could see many ong beards that were to be cut on Sunday, ind many counting the time till Sabbath, hat their boots, shoes, and clothes might )e brushed. I could see others accustomed to look upon their stray sheep or cat!e, to walk around their distant fields of jrass and grain, to see whether the fences vere all safe or to learn whether the flocks md herds did not need some attention bat could not be well afforded on any oth;r day. Others make the Sabbath a delight because they can hear and tell the news as hev go to and from the church, and at he recess, and in tiie family circles after heir return. They really learn more up m the Sabbath than they do from their j visitors,periodicals and buoks, the other six j lavs. A worldly man once said, 'I love , o go to church, it is such a capital place J o hear the news.' Many singular plans are devised about he house of God. Appointments are nade for visiting ; errands are done to save ime; friends meet and exchange their nessages of love and friendship; pleasure oats, pleasure coaches and horses, are n great demand upon the Lord's day. Many who lind diseases creeping upon hc-msclves or their children, wait till Sabtath, and then seek medical advice, so that nany physicians and apothecaries must lo twice as much business, as upon other lavs. It is not strange for the sick .to %/ o ee multitudes of pretended friends upon hat holy clay. They are left without r.onolationor aid six days, hut on the seventh heir rooms are crowded to suffocation, nd many a sufferer has lost his life by this leriodical kindness. Most of courts set Monday, and I know no eminent lawyer who will go on Satrday, or will not go till Monday, and he is | xerting a most salutary influence upon the ! ar, in that whole region. Others both I jdges and lawyers, (some standing high I ao in the church), do not 'remember the ! fabbath day to keep it holy,' but in sight f the common people who look up to irofessional men for example, ride across j heir country on the Sabbath so as to be I eady at court. The Jews used to make the day pre- ; ious, a day of preparation for the Sab- ' iath, but we strangely reverse it, and j nake the Sabbath a day of proportion for i he week, and also a time to bring up nu- j nerous little arrearages, that are deferred ill some more leisure day. This systematic Sabbath breaking, has lecome so common, that if the best of your eaders will examine themselves carefuly, they will find some form of this sin hautuai.?Cincinnati Journal.
