M Y MOTHER'S VOICE.
Mv mother's voice! I hear it now,
I feel her hand upon my brow,
As when, in heartfelt joy,
She raised her evening hymn of praise,
And called down blessings on the davs
k Of her beloved bov.
*
My mother's voire! I hear it now,
i!er hand is on my burning brow,
And in that early hour,
When fever throbb'd in all my veins,
And that kind hand first soothed my pain,
With healing power.
My mother's voice, it sounds as when
She Sj)oke to me of holy men.
The Patriarchs of old 1
And gazing downward in my face.
She seemed each infant thought to trace
My blue cvos told.
I tcomes-when thoughts unhallowed throng
Woven in sweet deceptive song?
And whispers round my heart:
As when at eve it rose on high.
I hear and think that she is nigh,
And they depart.
Though round my heart, all, all beside
The voice of Friendship, Love, had died:
That voice uould linger there:
As when, soft pillowed on her brpast,
lis tones tirst lulled my infant rest,
Or, rose in prayer. La. id marl:.
TIIE PREACHING OF BUNVAX.
The Bible was his principal library. Bu
with scarcely any other book than this, },<
was the most eminent minister of his age
if usefulness may be considered the stand
urd of eminence. It is related of the learnct
Dr. Owen thai, on a certain occasion, aftei
having heard John Bunyan preach, witl
much [>mver and spirituality, and, on bein<
asked if he had tomi to hear the 4 tinker,
the name by which Bunyan. in retercnc;
to his occupation, was scotllnglv designated
the doctor replied, 41 have indeed ; and if
by a surrender of till the human learning
have acquired, I could preach with the abili
tv and the heavenly unction of Mr. Bunyan

Bunyan is but one instance, among a mul
titudc that could bo named, of the talon
w hicli nii^rht be cultivated and the cloqucna
which might be elicited, by a careful an(
truly conscientious and religious study o
the book of(>od. The man who, in hi:
public ministrations, would reason with thi
most effect, must argue Oil the principles o
revelation. There is presented a sys'en
of logic, built on die facts relating to l)o<
and eternity, wiiich is unerring in all it;
rudeness, infallible in all i:s premises, am
inflexible, just, and correct in all its deduc

whom lie would recall to duty and to God
It is because the models of inspiration art
kept out of sight, and are superseded by ?
courtly mode of address, und a mo lei o
argument built on the basis of carnal roa

of modern preachers.
They go to the people w ith much fanciec

because they see no lasting impression madt
on their auditory. Unlike David, they re
fuse the sling and stone ; a simple depend'
mice on God, and the efficacy of his truth :
and disappointment is the consequence.
Rev. J. A. James, of Birmingham.
[From the Rev. R. J. Breckinridge's
Memoranda of Foreign Travel.J
I had no letter to Mr. James. But the
peculiar relation of our denominations to
each other, and of myself to both of them
at the present juncture, fortified by the
general confidence I had in his character,
and the real need of his advipe, emboldened
me to call upon him. I need hardly to say
he received me with great kindness. I had
heard him preach before visiting him; and
was surprised to find a different impression
made on me, by the same person, under
different circumstances, to a degree much
beyond what I have commonly experienced.
He is a thinking man in all situations.
And as there is little likelihood
that bis modestv will ever be o(Tended by
these lines reaching his eyes, and as lie is
so great an object of interest in America,
I may ventute to say a few words of him.
Mr. James* church, like the places of
worship of all dissenters in England, is called
a chapel, and is not allowed to have
either hell or steeple. They, with wig and
cossack, titles and tithes, and numberless
and nameless appliances besides, belong
exclusively to the pure, apostolical, established,
Episcopal Church of England! I
chose, however, to g??to Mr. James' chapel.
I went early?got a central seat,
where I could see the whole interior of the
house, which is very largo, and tastef ,
though peculiarly constructed; with gal ries
on all tour sides, and a high, small pulpit
advanced about one-third of the way
into the area of the room. It was a special
service to the young, on the profitableness
of religion] preached from the 11th
verse of the Epistle to Philemon, lie entered
the pulpit through a steep flight ol
steps behind it; up which he walked clumsi.
ly, and seating himself, seemed for a moment
engaged in prayer. After this, he
seemed to me to be entirelv engaged ir
o c
looking about the church, on all sides, while
the large congregation collected, perhaps
to the extent of 1,200 persons, and whilsl
his clerk, below selected, read, and ther
gave oil by fcmr lines at a time, a psa!rr
j from Dr. W aits' v?rsiun, which tlio con!
gregation stood up and sung. Thus fat
the services were peculiar. After this
the reading of the Scriptures, prayer, and
' second psalm, and the sermon, as with us.
The sermon was over an hour long, and
| one of the very best 1 have ever heard.?
. And after hearing a number of persons in
, Kngland, both from the pulpit and platform
i 1 consider this gentleman one of the very
j best of their public speakers. His dis,
course was evangelical, and exceedingly
tender?occasionally highly poetical, and
even brilliant. He is as all his countrymen
. are, a Zroudntan, in person; not very high
very full-faced; with high, and rather narrow
forehead; a nose not unlike that ot the
historian (iihbon, that is, exceedinglvshorl

COMMUNION OF CHRISTIANS.
! Communion in respect to the follower:
i of Christ, we may suppose, means some'
' thing more than agreement in articles o
faith and modes of discipline. Something
' more than the act of communicating in the
j: sacrament of the Eucharist. It means fel.
11 lowship in joys and in sorrows, in conflict;
. and in victories, in labors and attainments
j in every thing, which pertains to Christiar
r character, duty or experience. This is tin
j view which Paul seems to have taken of tlx
f j subject when he says, (ii Cor. 1. 4.) of tlx
J Father of mercies and the God ol* all com
31 fort, "Who comforteh us in all tribulation
,! that we may be able to comfort them whici
' are in any trouble bv the com Ibrt where wit I
[ < we ourselves are comforted of God." Thi:
I . 1*1
; is to saw the comforts which we receive iron
I
, I above ought not to be concealed nor shu
| up in our own bosoms, but imparted to oui
.' brethren, according to the principles of tlx
i! Gospel and the example of its Author. Ant
2 j that this principle of participation applies U
\' the whole circle of Christian cxpcri
f i ence is evident from the following words o
s | the same inspired apostle, (1 Cor. 1*2. 12
j 20.) " For as the body is one and hath ma
f 1 ny members, and nil the members of tha
j 1 one body, being many, are one body, so i:
j j Christ.?And whether one member suffei
s I with it, or one member be honored, all tlx
1' members rejoice with it." This is Christ
.j ian communion, and the church relation
| ship, is both designed and admirably adapt
fled to promote tiiis communion. In tlx
r; visible church the followers of Christ be
^ come known to each other as such; then
j j thev are brought to unite iu solemn acts o
) worship, which, while they draw their heart.'
. I nearer to Christ the centre of spiritual at

! as well as to the Creat llead of the churci
? | bv most solemn covenant vows; there tlrey
x | recogniz** the fact tliat they have a cotnmoi
t i interest and aim. Is it not to be expected
. therefore, that Christinns thus situated wii
. i feel towards each other, as they feel toward:
| no other persons, and that they will be pre

i the happiness of Bunyan's pilgrims while

i common interests and dangers. And here
t let me drop one suggestion as the concluij
sion of these remarks. Would rot socia
i. visits and parties among the profiled friend:
of Christ, be a suitable occasion for protno
j ting Christian communion/ And if, ini
stead of conversing on the passing events
I i of the world, or about wordly interests, the
, followers of Christ in their social intercourse,
II should more often and more freely converse
J of their spiritual interests, and hold Chrisi
tian communion, would tiny not be great
,! gainers ? May not even* one ot' us amend
our example in this respect ?
A SPIRITUAL DESERT NEGLECTED.
I There may be those who cry "The Temij
pie ot the Lord," "The Temple of the
i i Lord," who nevertheless, are not them
j selves lively stones in that spiri ual buildt
j ing. We liave seen sympathy spread over
t; the moral wastes of half a continent, while
I the whole energy of it was needed upon
j the spiritual desertofthe owner's own heart.
, We have seen the whole church the ob>
iect of apparently the sineerest pity and of
i! the gravest rebuke, while that pity would
I: have been well spent in mourning our perf
i sonal dclicencies, and every weapon ol' de !
nnncirttion have found a lair mark in sins at
1 home.
And more. It docs not require a thou :
sandth part the moral energy and self-dei
nial to raise, with a multitude, the loud
; voice of reproach at the sitis of the church
, or the nation, that is requirrcd to quench
j only one of the minor evil pasions of one's
! own heart. We may bodly point our arI
tillery to the abominations which surround
; us, while we have not the moral courage
. j to strike one energetic blow at the sinful
. j principles within us. Far more easily can
fi we rush, with the crowd to the assault of
TI other men's sins than boldly fare our own
]1 and patiently go forward with the work of
; their destruction. There is something
, | grand and exciting in giving one to anothi
er the crv of onward, while there is so no4
i *
i j b!e a mark as the sins of the church or of
; j the nation. But one's own individual de?
ficiences of character, oh, that small game.
Now, disciple of Christ, wo strike not
. i at any tender concern you may feel in the
, j general welfare of the church of God. We
11 care not how broad are your sympathies.
11 We rejoice in the depth and strength of
> i your emotions of interest in the welfare of
i Zion in her extent. But we do caution
t von to beware of being drawn, by any
r I object whatever,even Zion's welfare, from
JI the spiritual care and regulation of your
11 own mind. "While you mourn over deso)
j lations elsewhere, see to it that your own
-! soul is not a moral waste. Let not care
1' jor the church consume those energies
i which the culture of your own heart do
i inands. Zion's present weakness and
t tarnished honor is owing more, than to any
s other cause, to the neglect of personal hor
lioess. Your zeal for Zion has no good
2 foundation, indeed is not a spiritual reali
tv, but a shadow only, if it be not based on
a well kept heart?if it does not originate
" in a soul trained to communion with God.

rEKSECLTIO.N IX PRUSSIA,
j Some time since, our readers will recol,
lect, we published an account, from the
'pen of our French correspondent, of the
persecution of a small body of Lutherans
by the Prussian government, for refusing
to adopt the new liturgy introduced by the
king to premote the union of the Lutheran
i and Relormed churches in his domains.
From the following letter of Rev. A.
> Kawcl, pastor of one of the persecuted
| churches, which we find in the London
; Evangelical Magazine for July, it will be
11 seen that the persecution still continues.
and is extending; that eleven ministers,
and forty laymen have been imprisoned,
i that many heavy fines have been imposed ;
?; and ifiat meetings for prayer have been
r| broken up by the police. We understand
' j that seventy of the persecuted families have
. resolved to emigrate to the United States of
America,and that one object of this letter
. i of Mr. Kawel is to procure from Christians
t in Great Brittain, the aid necessary to ena.
i ble them to execute their design.
11 "His majesty the king of Prussia express1
ed a wish, in a royal ordinance dated 27th
. September 1617, that the Lutheran and
; Reformed churches in his dominons should
i | be united into one body; and endeavored
r to promote the same object by the introi
f duction of the new liturgy in the year 1822.
.' This liturgy was at first used only in the
1! royal church at Berlin ; but, having been
> | received by many otter congregations,
which from lime to time followed the example
set them, it uas commanded in 1830
; that all, w.'io had not previously done i',
j should without farther delay make use of it.
[ Thus, the churches of the two confessions
j the Reformed and the Lutheran, which had
| before had different liturgies, catechisms,
| &c., which were endeared to them by the
j usage of 300 years, were compelled to give
I up their separate ex isienec. This is a di1
rect violation of the 7th, 10th, and 28th
I articles of the Augsburg Confession, as
well as contrary to the Formula Concordia*,
j the articles agreed on in Smalcaldcn, and a
! grievance 1<? the consciences of those who
i ^
I adhere to the doctrines of Luther. Al.
i though they willingly acknowledge the
i good intentions of his majesty in his en!
(ieavoring to unite, the two churches, vet
O # 0
! they cannot consent to violate the solemn
! vows and promises made in baptism and
; confirmation; they cannot agree to depart
(from the doctrines r>i muir muiu^ , mwy
i cannot use a liturgy wiiicii does not ac;
cord with their conscientious opinions.
They think themselves bound to obey the
1 law of Hint who has said (Lukexvi. 10,)
." I le that is unjust in the least, is unjust
J also in mucin5' And again (Rev. ii. 25.)
! "Rut that which ye have already, hold fas:
: till I come ;55 and iii, 3, " Remember,
| therefore, how tiiou linst received and
{ heard, and hold fast, and repent.5' And
; thus St. Paul admonishes Timothy (Tim.
' vi. 14,) that he should "keep the commandment
without spot.55 They wish lbr notliing
more than to maintain without spot the
confession of faith which their church has
taught them ; and this they have been forbidden
to do ever since 1S30. Those prol
lessors in the Universities and clergyman
i in the churches, who would not agree to
1. i
j use the new liturgy, have noon suspenueu
j from their ofiicc as teachers in the church
{ of Christ; and when they felt it to be their
duty to break the bread of life in private
houses, and administer the sacraments ac
cord ins: to the forms used from the time of
i
i the Reformation,thcy were punished with
' imprisonment for so doing. Those of thu
: laity who joined to sing, and pray, and
! read sermons in their own houses, were
j punished with fines : and those who had
j actively engaged in conducting such prij
vate services were imprisoned. These
j punishments were not indicted because they
; had transgressed against any of the laws of
I the country, or because they had neglected
! or refused to pay the taxes required by the
I government, but solely and wholly because
; they would not exchange the liturgy, which
: has been used for 300 years, for a new one,
! which implies in those who make use of il
! a consent to the union of the Reformed
; and Lutheran churches. They suffer
I therefore, purely for conscience sake,
They have often petitioned the king, the
; ministers, the consistory and other authoriJ
ties, for toleration, but in vain ! Most o:
I the congregations have no ministers; the
* . 1 _
children cannot be baptized, because rncsc
j who ought to baptize them are in prison;
! and many fathers have baptized their out
j children with fear and trembling in this
| .season of suffering and need, anJ have
j been sent to prison for so doing. The
communion can very seldom be held, anc
| that in the night, when a minister ventures
| in disguise to go among the people. The}
I go at a time when no one expects them
j and many wait lor a year together withoul
I having an opportunity for partaking of the
J body and blood of Christ. The meetings
' for prayer in private houses are broken up
1 bv the police. At a place in the duchy o!
| Poscn the police pullqd the Lutherans bv
i the hair of their head from their knees,
! The ministers dare not often venture to go
; among the people, as they are almost sur.
J to be speedily sent hack to the prisons
! which they had just left. Eleven ministers
j have been sent to prison in this way, seve.
jral of them two or three times, for three
j monhts or more. They were committed
1 to the common prisons of Ilreslau, Fosen,
and other places. Forty other persons
; have been sent to prison on the same
charge, and a great number of heavy fines
j have been imposed.

I Letters have recently been received of
as late a date as March 27th. The gov:
nrnment was becoming settled, order was
prevailing, and the state of things among
the people improving. A series of meetings
was held six days ''n succession about the
first of February, when the large church at
Honolulu uas regularly filled with attentive
| and solemn hearers of the word of God?
! the number present from day to day being
j 4000 to 5000. A number of backsliders
I gave evidence of genuine repentance, the
I members of the church were revived, oth!
ers who had remained in doubt respecting
| their christan character, became decided
j and about forty from this class were, on
the first Sabbath in March, proposed as
candidates for church fellowship. A considerable
number were hopefully converted.
The revised edition of the New Testament,
consisting of 10,000 copies had
been printed, and the demand for it was
very great. The adult Sabbath-school,
superintended by Mr. Chamberlain, embraced

Missionary among the Choc taws, to tho
Editors of the Christian Advocate & Journal,
dated Red Riveh, June 8th, 1836.
Our congregations are respectable.?
New ones are granted us. At all of them
we have generally good order, and seriousness
has her seat in the countenance of
the auditors.?Not unl'requently we hear
: the mourner imploring for mercy, and the
children of Ood shouting his praises. Our
accession of members on trial, this quarter
has been about fifty. Our official and lay
members are getting on very well. On
the 5th instant we closed a three days'
meeting. It proved to be a good meeting.
At the quarterly conferance peace and harmony
prevailed. The reports of the
'members of their several charges were
LLIWJK-r-n. _
flattering, and all seemed dcterminrd to!
renew their vigor, and do more in the aid ,
of the good cause. Theory of the mour-1 *
i ner and shout of tiie redeemed were fre- i
quently heard throughout the meeting and 1
| thirteen were added to the Church all oil att.
