Bee/tee?The following essay was read before the Rap ist Ministerial Conference of Northern Pennsylvania. July 13, 1836; aud by request of the Conference is now sent for publication in the Register. 1. Ministers should cultivate a spirit of ardent, humble piety. For the want of this most important qualification in the servant of God, no other can possibly atone, lie! who preaches the Gospel of Canst with success, must have his own soul imbued wi;hthc j spirit of the gospel. He must enjoy daily communion wita Christ himself, and feel his j own heart warmed at the altar of prayer, or i he is not properly prepared to recommend i religion to outers, or u enforce the duties it enjoins. If a minister would be useful, lie must feel much more concerned to benefit! all than to gain the applause of any: and he : must strive to ho good, instead of indulging | { a vain ambition :o be great. I lis daily walk j and more private intercourse with people j c must also !>e of a piece with his public labors , i and the instruction he imparts. The great t aposde enjoins it upon his son Timothy to r V*an example toothers 4tin word, in conversation. in spirit, in faith, and in purity." j C 2. Ministers should cultivate an enlarged j 1 and intimate acquaintance with the holy { scriptures. The pastors which God has v promised to give as a blessing to his people ; s are said to be such as shall feed them with j c knowledge and understanding. "Study to ) q show thyself approved unto God, a work- it man that needeth not to be ashamed, right-! c * ( ]y dividing the word of truth," is an injunc-1 p tijn which is as much binding upon minis, j ii ters at the present day as it was upon young 1 h Timothy when he received it from his fa- ; q tiier in the Gospel. The Bible is the great r store-house of religious knowledge, from ! it which every teacher of divinity should labor 1 n to bring forth things new and old suited to ; n the various conditions of his hearers. ; c 3. The preaching of the gospel is the } ti grand means which God has chosen to ef.. f.*ct the greatest possible good amongst men; I is ministers should therefore deem it of the ut-' o mos' importance that they preach the pure ; a gospel, without regard to the opinions, pre- d judices or systems of men. Plain evangel- w iettl truth should be presented, and pressed n upon the mind with apos'olic earnestness, j a And those points should he dwelt upon and ! n urged most, which are most prominent in j g the gospel, and most intereshng to 'lying, I p accountable men. Tne cross of C'nrist,' u repentance towards God, and faith in the ! f. Lord Jesus, should occupy as conspicious a n place in the addresses to the people now as o they did in the sermons of (Jurist and his n apostles. ! p 4. Ministers should, as far as it is practi. n cable, visit from house to house, and en- \ li tleavor by their kimness, humility, and i a liutiifulness, to convince the people that they j b are really concerned for their welfare.? j lc These visits should be strictly religious; and j o every suitable opportunity, with families or; c< individuals, should be improved by enforc- 1 u inff truth and exhorting to obedience. In I v tiiis way a minister may do much to secure ! the confidence of the people, and become | acquainted with their various circumstances and wants, so that lie may impart to cacli (j his portion in due season. (i 5. Particular attention should be given to : the ins:ruction of the voting. The youth i s< and children which now surround us will I soon take the place of their parents, and control society. Pains should be taken, .j while their minds are open, and unbiased, j to impart instruction?encourage them to search the scriptures?secure their confidonee, and interest their feelings in favor of j ti religion. ^ ; t| 6. Ministers should endeavor, by their ; 0 prayers, counsels, and influence, to assist. each other, and promote each other's use fulness?remembering that they are labor- ^ ing in the same vineyard, employed by the j snine Master, and are directing tlieir el Forts ; to the attainment of the same desirable ob-j ^ ject. They should therefore cultivate a spir- i it of brotherly affection and mutual concern for each other's prosperity; a\ oiding all jealousiesand prejudices, and carefully watch- J ing against that spirit which seeks to be ! greatest, and excites the desire in one man : a to rise in influence and popularity at the ex-1 c i ^ pense of another. } 7. Churches must prny for their ministers.'}, Paul frequently entreated his brethren to ; tj pray for him, **t!iat the word of the Lord I c might have free course, run, and be gloriti- ? ? ed. If this great apostle, who was moved 0 by the Spirit of inspiration, needed the i s pravers of the saints to help him, and if his j c success in preaching the everlasting gospel j j, was connected with j!k; prayers of Chris- j | tians,how much more do the servants ofjii God at the present day need this assistance. r Ministers are but men, who are possessed v of like passions with other Christians; sub- [, ject to the same trials and discouragements, jj and many more which are peculiar to the r station they occupy. And while they are J, groaning under their fearful responsibility, j; sensible of their own weakness and insuffi- ? tl ciency to stand between the living and the ! 'J <*pad,an<i speak in the name of the Jehovah.! ?s hey certainly need the prayers of (iod's >eopIe. And it'tlio truth could be nsceraincd, it would doubtless be seen that those Christians who pray most for their minister ire most benefitted by his labors. 9. Churches should pay their ministers, [f he who preaches the Gospel must be perllexed with his temporal atfairs?if his own .varus, the wants of his own family, the demands of creditors, and the fear of incurring he guilt of not providing for his own house embarrass his mind, his work mustbeessenially hindered, Churches should therefore be careful to relieve their minister from such t i /* J* .1 mDarrassinents; <v uy nuoraingtnepeciuiiirv aid which he needs. enable hini to give Himself wholly to the work, that his profiting may appear unto all. {). IJretlmm should hold up the hands of :heir pastor by their punclua! attendance at ill the meetings. (hi the day of pcntecost, ivlien that wonderful refresliing was enjoyid, the disciples were with one accord in mo place. It is exceedingly disheartening o a minister to have brethren neglect the touse of worship. The unhappy influence >f this neglect extends much farther than s generally imagined. Such delinquents lot only suffer great loss themselves, but hey compel their anxious and aflectionate minister to come to the conclusion that the >eople are not benefitted by his instruction, md that his labors are in vain. And if nembcrs of the church do not attend meetngs, those who make no profession will be content to follow the example; and, consequently, but few are brought under the influence of the Gospel. Members of our - iiurciiessnouici leei tne importance oi puncually attending all the meetings as far as it s practicable, that they may encourage their ninister and brethren, and set a good cximp!e for those who are without. And if hey would invite their friends and neighbors o attend,and, were it necessary, assist them o go,many more might be benefitted by the )reaching of the word. 10. brethren should always be ready to issist their pastor in ail suitable efforts to do food; remembering that they are laborers ogether, and that, in order to success, thero nust be conceit of action. 11. Churches should appreciate all the 1 1:.: r.iw.: ?.,n juuu <}u<uiiirsui iiuur iimiiMur. iuuuit vu ias resulted from want of attention to this ?oint. Churches have become dissatisfied w ith their pastor because lie does not pos- | ess some[peculiar gift which they see in an>ther with whom they have but little ac. [uaintance; .and a change is effected, much | 0 the disadvantage of both parties. Church* j s sliould remember that 110 minister is ! >orfect, and if theirs does not possess preach- i ng talents so great n? another, perhaps he : lasothcr qualifications which render him I ui*e as useful. If they would estimate his ! oal worth they must look at him, not only ! 1 the pulpit, but in every place where duty i nay call him. And if he be worthy the ! ame of a minister of Christ, they will dis-1 over much in his character which demands : icir warm and affectionate regard. 12. The last thing which I shall notice,! ; ardent devotednessto (*od in all members ! f the church. This is of vital importance j nd is inseparably connected with the full isplay of the power of the gospel in the j orld. If believers are seals of the gospel j linis.ry. if they are living cpis.l s, known i nd read of all men, there is certainly great eccssity of their living ns it bccomcth the ! ospel. For, men will judge of t he reality, j uritv, and value of religion, from its effects pen those who profess to embrace it and j ;ol its controlling power. If there were 1 tore living examples of primitive piety in! iir churches, doubtless there would be wit- \ essed more of that power which attended rimi'.ive preaching. All Christians, then mst come up to a higher standard of holy ! ving. They must considerate themselves j ltd their all entirely to God. They must e in reality a peculiar people; united in >ve, separate from the world, and zealous f good works. Then we may look with onfidence for the immediate accomplish- ; tent of Go f s glorious promise, in the reno- j ation of our sinful world. B. ! j ITT TMV/' T>TTT? IT* , T T O T V Tt'lll-n! AfO TtltrP ' LI-L?L'JL.>VJ AlllJ >> i ni"t jj.a/I/O ii^'iLO i There are times when the cause of truth ematuls of its friends a two-fold duty, viz: ' rfencc and advancement. And these s mes are when the cause is assailed by the jrect devices or open opposition of its cneiies. Advancement of true religion is alays the duty of its friends, but in troublous mes defence is to be added. Thus Neemiah, building the second temple in the lidst of surrounding enemies, found it j eccssary, while he built with one band, with ' to other hand to hold a weapon. And ins Paul, while laboring to advance the J ause of Christ in the world, often found it j ecessarv to turn hack and guard his acqui- J itions from the influence of those who I ere creeping or breaking into the churches,! nd trying to spoil men ttiroujfli philosophy ! nd vaii) deceit, after the rudiments of the :orld, and not after Christ. The proper defence of the truth consists ot only in repelling with spiritual weapons, iie attacks of error when they arc openly lade, but in searching out and guarding gainst its serect devices and silent enT ' ? roachinents. It it were not so, 110defence , hatever can avail. For error does not penly attack until it has prepared the way >y its covered operations. Many who are etormincd and resolute in their own minds in the side of truth, and ready for its de-1 jp.ee when they perceive the enemy in the pen field, tire entirely foiled and taken by tratageni. They are waiting to see error o:ne forth in its own proper name and asicet, when it is making its advances in a 1 lorrowed dress. They are waiting to see 1 i come up before their faces, when it is ' nanceuvering behind their backs. They are vuiting to see a foe until the foe seizes them n the garb of friendship. They are waitng for the manifesto, the mauly. open declaation of the hostile band?but the first they ;now the citadel is taken without anv manfesto or declaration at all, unless it be hat they all think alike and are all friends. Phis is the course wliich error has always \k?n. and it always will take. Ti jvma:rjs j then, that the friends of truth be aware ! of this fact, and shape their defence to the | state of the ease. 15m it must not beforgotton, that defence in ail its forms, is only a part of Christian duty. One hand, at least, must be at work | in advancing the cause. There is danger that in times of trouble many will feel satisfied with mere defence. They are active in exposing and repelling error, in explaining and supporting the truth?but there they stop. They clear the road but do not travel f in it. They set up guide-posts and wayj marks, hut do not use them. This is a great ! error in practice. W rong sentiment must be corrected, not by no sentiment, but by that which is right. Wrong practice must he corrected by right j practice. The walls must go up. 1. Let ministers be more discriminating in llieir prcacmug, especially m respect to the great doctrines of the Gospel. \Yc believe the frown of heaven will rest 011 the minister and church, where all the counsel of God is not declared. J 2. Let ministers and churches bo more , khful in the administration of discipline, j The dead branches must be pruned off.? ! Are there not, in some of our churches, men | who are habitually intemperate, who neglect the worship of (rod and the ordinances of i his house, and are in other respects a stumbj ling block? : 13. Let the matter of personal religion, ' heart experience, private devotion, receive j more attention. It is a day of speeches, i and stir and noise, and in such times the | ^ 7 i danger is, that the heart will be neglected. 4. Let churches see to it, that they ! strengthen the things that remain, that are o o ^ i ready to die. That in the observance ot i the Sabbath, the support of the institutions '? ? ? /* 1 | ot the UospeJ, me comiort and cncouragc! mcnt of their ministers, the promotion ol ! Sabbath schools and the religious instrucI tion of their children, and in the work of j charity and benevolence in all its branches | they let their lights shine, t So may we hope that the God of our fath! ers will'bless us, and pour out his Spirit upon the churches and congregations in our land, and revive lis again, that the people ; may rejoice in IIlm.? Watchman. I I | The following is part of a charge of Bishop ! McIIvane of Ohio to his Diocese. In connection with these facts, I feel it to ' be a matter of 110 little importance, in such | times as these, to be able to add that, in our ! several parishes that enjoy the blessing of a I settled ministry, there is evidence of strong and increasing attachment to the order and * government, the worship and ministry that distinguish our Church. Such attachment is the bond of our unity. The Church, as a Churchy can have no stability, no force, without it. To promote such attachment, without bigotry or formality; to make it enlightened, as well as affectionate; and then to use it, not as a substitute for, but as a very important auxiliary to the direct influence of divine truth upon the heart, and the steadfastness of Christian character, is a very considerable matter in the duties ol the ministrv?too little valued indeed ; but with the permanent importance of which, I am more anil more impressed by every new lesson of experience and observation. Inward and spiritual ties are enough for the holding together of the several parts of the oicticard and visible Church. They may all remain, and yet the Church, as a visible society, be broken in pieces, and her influence, as conservative and promotive of the Gospel, almost destroyed. Unity in cer tain visible institutions is essential to unity in a visible Church. Attachment to those visible institutions is the strength of such unity. Where such attachment does not exist there is no bond of peace. To set little value upon it, because it is not religion, is as foolish as to despise the fencing of the corn-field, because it is not the grain. Not to promote it, /or fear of promoting sectarianism is as if you should not educate your children to love their home and their parents' law, lest they look with too little kindness upon others. No, my brethren! If we would promote the spirit of vital godliness in the world, we must promote it in connexion with, and by means of, that only body?the Church? which the Lord has built as the earthly house of its tabernacle in this wilderness. You may as well expect your minds to be in health while your bodies are diseased, as that the spirit of religion will flourish, while the body of religion, the visible Church, is disordered. Butvou cannot promote the Church, as a visible society, without selecting some one out of the various forms under which its visibility is presented, and distinctly preferring that one above all others, as most according to the Scriptures and most beneficial to the Gospel. I cannot, therefore, my brethren, but think it a hopeful indication of the prospects of true religion in our Church, when I see the affections of our people embracing with a preference, more and more distinct and enlightened, those external peculiarities of our order and worship, with which, in my view, there are none to be compared either in point of scriptural authority, ecclesiastical precedent, or intrinsic adaptation. Such attachment to the externals of a Church is not religion, hut religion would not long remain in the world without it. I can conceive of a person's being a true Christian and yet posssesing it in a very slight degree?a true Christian; but not a steadfast, consistent, well protected Christian. But I cannot 1 conceive of a community of Christians, ; equally destitute, and yet remaining long undivided by difference of opinion, unconvul[ sed by varieties of measures, except in proportion as their bond ofpeace is the contentment of spiritual death. "Christ, as man, subject to the law of love did, in a holy manner, love all men as his neighbors, heartily wished them well, seriously lamented the ruin of those that perished, whom yet, as God, he knew to be reprobates, and for whom, as Mediator, he 'had not engaged. Yet so that he submitted this human afTection, commanded by ' tip.' law. whith :s commotio Chr?\ nni \> ! us, to the Divine appointment, and restricted ' it to the purpose of the decreeing will of God; in tliis manner proving the holiness of his will, in the glorifying of the Divine counsel, aud in a due subjection thereto. This appears from the tears, which Christ, as man, shed over the calamities that were coming upon that abandoned city, which had partly slain, and partly loaded with contempt and ignominy the prophets; nay, had been the only butcher in the whole world for them; and was at length, by a most horrid parricide, to devote itself, with its unhapqy posterity, to the lasting curse of God."?Witsius. I J From the Virginia Conlerence Sentinel. I j WORLDLY CONVERSATION ON TIIE SABBATH. J By worldly conversation, I understand i and mean that which lias no relation to God, j and no connexion with religion. I Conversation about the things of the ' ? > 1 - P- 1 1 J world, in tne general sense c>i me wuru,uuu ! particularly in relation to our own temporal l concerns: this is too common, not only with the people of the world, but with proi lessors of religion. When together on the | Sabbath, instead of conversing upon the j subject of religion aud kindred topics, how J frequently is this holy .and precious time occupied in a different manner. Is it a | company of merchants ? IIow apt are ; they to converse about the state of trade, | the amount of their sales, the character ot | their debtors, the extent of their losses, and ; their prospects for the future. Is it a coli loctiou of farmers? How frequently do I they engage in a free conversation about the j seasonublcness of the weather, the condition | of their grounds, the growth of their crops, q and the price of produce. If it should be I a par(y of young persons, what is more j common than to hear a full and animated a i . conversation about tne manners ot the age, the fashions of the day, the amusements of . the work!, and the matrimonial changes that are taking place in society, and so on in all the professions of life, in all classes of the community. "rp,*ese things ought not so | to be." Jt is a manifest violation of the 11 Sabbath. We are commanded "to rcmemI ber the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." This j we should do, not only by abstaining from ! "ordinary work," but from ordinary world! !y conversation. There is nothing holy in j such conversation, either in its character or i tendency; and however proper and profitaI ble it may be on other days, it is improper, i unprofitable and sinful on the Sabbath. This is evident, not only from the above commandment, but from another passage 1 -* ? 11.. r. ui scripture ct|iiuuv piuiu anu pusiuic> xi is found in Isaiah, Iviii. and 13, 41 If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable: and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own ! pleasure,nor speaking thine own words" &c. j By our44 own words," I understand, words (exclusively in relation to our own temporal i concerns, such as we have noticed above. I Conversation of this description has a direct J tendency to grieve the Holy Spirit, to harden the "heart, to make us worldly minded, ! and to prevent that good which might othI crwise be derived from the appropriate exercises of the Sabbath day. IIow totally I disqualified is one who has spent the morn| ing in this manner, to repair to the house ! of Clod and engage properly and spiritually i in his service: he carries along with him I too much of the spirit of the world, and is 1 apt, while yet in the church, if not upon his j knees, and at the holy altar, to be thinking j about the matter of his previous conversaj tions; and how ruinous are the effects of this i practice after going to church and hearing I the word of God. It supplants the more ! important subjects that were there presented J to the mind?it destroys the good impresI sions there made upon the heart?it weakj ens the pious resolutions which were there i formed,tand it leaves a person unprofited by j the ministrations of the sanctuary. To prevent these evils, I would beseech ! all, professors of religion especially, to spend | one or two hours every Sabbath morning in j reading and studying the sacred scriptures. I Among many other benefits which they | would derive from this practice, it would I furnish them with ample and profitable top| ics for conversation in the after part of the j day, especially if they would treasure up ; some suitable passages for that particular | purpose. Another preventive which I i would earnestly recommend to all, and especially heads of families, is, the reading of ' religious newspapers. Our country* abounds j with them at the present day, and they are | generally published towards.the close of the j week, in reference, no doubt, to the Sabbath, for the purpose of furnishing their patrons and readers with a mental and spiritual feast on that holy day; these, also, provide excellent topics for social conversation, during ! the intervals of private and public devotion. 1 In addition to these, there are many excel. ?

TIMOTHY. Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Brown, missionary Printer sent out by the \V. For. Missionary Society,?dated Smyrna, Asia Minor, June 28,183G. Within a short time past, things have assumed a very serious, not to say alarming, aspect in tiiis country, and in the kingdom of Greece. The Greek bishops and i priests have determined, and are striving to J put down our schools, and bring the influ cnce of Protestant missionaries to an end. | They have threatened to excommunicate all I members of the Greek Church who send their children to the "American Schoolas they contemptously call them. They have also made several publications in which they iabouriously strive to rouse the national pride of the Greeks, and most earnestly entreat them to be on their guard against the innovations of the "American Religion-,'* as they i rightly fear that it would materially affect their customs and usages, and destroy the power and emoluments of the men who ?' rranage the senseless and degrading cere monies and idolatrous practices of what they call the "ANCIENT Greek Churchin ^ contradistinction to our "new religionas they call it. Truly we are in the midst of ti an important crisis; and may the Lord direct fi us in all things, and enable us to do that which will tend most to glorify Him and pro- 8 mote the salvation of immortal souls. Many seem to think it roust be a good employment to talk about Sermons?while they do this in such a way as in fact to profane the Lord's day. Dyspepsia and Liver ComI ^ ^ plaints.

In all cases of torpor . of the bowols, they act like a charin. In recent cases of Dyspepsia, they are a certain cure. Ma. : ny persons who were subject to violent attacks > ofsick head ache, have been much benefitted, and ; several perfectly cured in a few weeks by tneir { use. They are highly recommended as a preven- ! tivo and euro of Billious complaints.
