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,

Take Inrod that you pay an habitual re-!(
gard to divine iutluence, as that without ;
which you cannot enjoy a holy liberty in jj
your work, or have any reason to expect | v
success. \\ e have heard, with pleasure, I ]
that the necessity of sucli an intluence, to , j
enlighten, to comfort, and to sanctify the !?
human mind, makes one article in your the- (
ological creed.?an article, doubtless, ofjj
great importance; fur as well might thejj
material system have sprung out ofnonen- j j
j tity u ithout the almighty fiai, as an assent-; \

Now my brother, as the knowledge of, '
any truth js no farther useful to us than we j1
I are influenced by it. and act upon it; as;1
doctrinal sentiments are not beneficial,e.\- (
\ vept in porpotion as they become practical
principles, or produce correspondent feelings
and affections in our own hearts; so J
you should endeavor to live continually un/ti?r
tti!? onpration of that sacred maxim,;
I "Without >ie ye can do nothing." With
i humility, with prayer, with expectation,
i the assistance of the Holy Spirit should he
daily regarded. In ail your private studies
j and in all your public administrations, the !1
: aids of that sacred Agent should be sought, i (
! Consistency of conduct peace in your own .

I Nor can you pray over your Bible in a !

should always attend you in the

, he stands. Guard, therefore, against every ] (
; appearance of levity in your public work, j j

i watch against a spirit of seli-suiTiccncy, ,

it is hurtful to us. I
Let, 0 Lord, the great change be wrought ,

If we cannot make others better it should {(

make us worse. |,

by the merit ot the it>on, so none can conic j (
to the ^on but by the Spirit of the Father. ',
We acknowledge this mercy, that God j(
doth not take us out of the world: but should j
desire this one mercy more, that he would .
take the world out of us.
It is cur duty to know God; our safety
to fear him; our glory to resemble him ;
our stability to trust liini; our sincerity to
love him: and our felicity to serve him. 1

.Many men, m relation tooutwaru tnings, i complain
of want; and yet in truth want 1
nothing but thankful hearts for what they r
already nave. P
Though God docs not always deliver is
his people out of trouble, yet he delivers J1
them from the evil of trouble, the despair of s
trouble, by supporting the spirit; nay, he 1
delivers bv trouble, lor ho sanctifies the 2
trouble, to cure the soul, and by less troubles f
delivers from greater.
It is the peculiar wisdom of a Christian c
to pick arguments out of his worst condi- L
tion to make him thankful; and if he is | J
thankful he ill be joyful.
Many professors w ill plead deb: and fain- -j
ily expenses, when any thing is desired of ,,
them for a pious or righteous use, though
they have enough for their pleasure and
pride; sureiy this is one of the worst J
kinds of sacrilege.

ANECDOTE OF MH. IIERVEV.
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...,. !
IpOU IDC import uuu tAieui ui iuu uui\, j
shewing that merely to forbear the infamous j
iction is little, we must deny admittance, j
lenv entertainment at least, to the e\il imtgination,
ami quench even the enkindling
sparks of irregular desire. 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."

SABBATH VIOLATION.
JE SIRE AND WIND IP THE CLOCK ON SUN- j
DAY!
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

A SOBER CALCULATION.
A young man who earns from six to
light or ten dollars per week, and spends
>ut three or four of it in boarding, and what
>esides is necesary for comfort and conenience,
may lay up from one to two hun
lie may calculate upon being a master, in-!
stead ofajourney run;:. This is one view? 1
obvious, to be Mire, but not less important.!
Another view is,?and one which too!
often presents itself,?if a young man, in-!
stead of laying up the chief part of hiswa-j
ges, spends if all, or nearly so, in idle ?Sun- j
day excursions and frivolous evening balls,1
or billiard playing, or any other vicious or t
imprudent pursuit, lie may calculate upon !
remaining a journeyman for life ; and if not
brought, through evil communication, to the
state prison or gallows, will in all probability
terminate bis mortal career in some poor j
house unpitied and despised. This is an- ^
other view of the case, equally obvious us,
the last; and yet how of en are both of (c
them lost sight of to the ruin of youth. j
To lure to the one, let the other be kept!

youth will find no surer protection than re.
ligion. Iftliev seek and find that, all temO

1 The paper has been now so long established as
i to render it too well known to require an extern
j ded prospectus, the publishers, therefore, will do
\ no more than refer to the two leading daily political
papers of opposite politics The PeunsyIranian
says?"Tho Saturday Courier is tho
largest, and one of tho best family newspapers iu
the Union;" the other, the Inquirer and Daily
Courier, says, "It is the largest journal published
in Philadelphia, and one ot the very best in the
United States." The New York 6tar says?wo
know nothing moro liberal on the part of the dormant
talents of our country, than their unexam
j pled liberality iu offeriug literary prizes."
The Albeny Mercury of March 16th, 1836
[ says, "the Saturday Courier, is decidedly the best
j Family Newspaper ever published iu this or any
j other country, and its value is duly appreciated
| by the pnblic, if wo may judge Its content* are
I agreeably varied, and each number contains inoro
j really valuable 'reading matter' than is published
J in a week iu any daily paper in the Union. Its
| mammoth dimensions enable its enterprising pro,
prietors, Messrs. Woodward &. Clarke, of Philaj
delphia, to re-publish in its colonics in the courso
' of a year, several of the most interesting new
j works that issue from the British press; which

on issuing an edition of the Courier in
the quarto form, which will render it much more
convenient for reading when it is bound in a volume
and thus greatly enhance its value."
THE QUARTO EDITION.
Under the title of the Philadelphia Mirror,
will commence with the publication of the Prizo
Tale, to which was awarded the prize of $100,

Annual the Token, and author of Pencil Sketch|

I Literature, A large number of songs poems

premiums, will add value and interest to the
succeeding numbers, which will also be enriched
by a story from Miss Sedgewick author of Hopo
Leslie. The Linwoods, &c., whose talents have
been so justly and extensively appreciated, both
