KKL1UI0US CHARACTER OF THE PRESENT AGE. 1 S Frum the i*itlsburg Christian Herald. ! [ The religious spirit of the times is farther j characterized, hy durk and confused conci ptions of the nature of moral truth gene- j' rally. Titus results the preponderating in- : ! terests which the outward wmld lias come I # to have with the age almost universally, as ; ' we have already seen, The physical car-1 lies it over the spiritu than I t!se consequence ! is, that the very sense of the spiritual has, j in many cases, given way almost entirely j 4 to notions of another nt.v.tre al ogether.? j Even in religion, where the tilings of J lie ' ( spirit are of right all in all, i leas belonging i to the sphere of sense and matter only, have too generally claimed and secured for them- j selves the principal place. The true nature of religion seems to he j not generally well understood. With all . * . . the ree ling and talking which there is on the subj cr, it is very evident that the coin- I ( ..t.-v?* .1 ? , J t!mi1-iMir it-1 ti ri-fr:ir<l tit iv li:is IIM/il ?? ti > w i nmmuj^ ?i i . t ?? i ?? iv/ i iv?.^ j come to be very superficial. The terms of j trie oh! evangelical piety still continue to a considerable ex out. ami we seem to Ik? at . first sight in the way of taking them in the ; sii\.t:g"s! s-'nso. Feeling, earnestness and zeal, are much insis.cd u.oon. indeed, as the ! ? 7 proper features of the modern system, in j opposition to the cold and sluggish formality of other times, hut v.-lien we come to look j at the thing more narrowly, we cannot fail,' to be struck with a certain something in the : whole exhibition, that shows a want of power 1 and depth after all. The spiritually that is ; claimed Ibr the system. i:i such s'rong terms. -1 as if the church had never t;!,' lately begun to enter in.odic true chnrcforof (Tristiauity ' in this respect, is a spiri ualitv thai apj>ears { to be always r ady to run itself out, always * in danger of losing itself in the ordinary j spirit of tlie wo, id, even as hena'urul result of its own free and unobstructed course.? ' it is a spiri'naiity that glories strangely in ' the lies!:, plays strangely on the surface of : the inward life, draws s range !y on t!io re- ' sources of mere na urc, refers itself s range. J !y to worldly principles and maxims, itn i o]). 1 < rates in afrange t'orrespou'lcscc with the, 1 ru'ing course oj'this rcoriifs ttisdom gencr- 1 <7//y. There is a defect here, w :icii many j( iiave felt, though it may not always have ' be n undcrs ooJ. Who that has ever seri- 1 1 ously communed wi:h the miiid of Howe, or 1 Lei^hton, or Flavel, lias no! felt himself coming in o another atmosphere altogether, | * when brought info the society of what is ?' frequently lauded as the first style of rcli- j( gion in these daws? The sniiiluuli v of ' these old practical writers, us it still lives in 1 their works, is a very different thing from 1 the sj?iri uality of the ne.v-measure school ^ of our time, as well as from 'hi religion oft ' our churches generally. It resembles a 1 calm, clear deep fountain, always sending 1 forth tiie same rlfh i.tr-ims of living wafer; i j while the other finds its image rather in ihr shallow, but noisy and troubled torrent, inn! ^ c!r iws its strength only from uncertain rains. ^ and swells and fulls with ike changes of the 1 1 weather. It is r.o uncommon thing to find s modern zeal for C?od combined with great r* wordiincss. It cannot enter into close l; agreement with tlio covctousncss, and pride j ' and fashion of the present life. Only let;C! people give in to its particular s vie of talk- j V ing and acting, which they may very well 1; do without renouncing a single carnal af- n fection, and it will sutler them to he as much i,v' immersed as ever in the life of sense. It n can mix itself with the ordinary stream of: worldly interests, as readily as ii'it were only . '' some active opinion in politics. It can j ^ come into easy intercourse with the habits a of the rich and self-indulgent only shaping i * the face of things a little to its own complex- j j ion, as though it were hut a lever about j n some new rail road, or some 'glorious' land ? speculation away off among the prairies of ^ Missouri. Hut prayerfulness, and serious holiness, and heavenliness of mind, are not o its characteristics. Such, I say, has been , ti too frequently ? e tJ.npcr of modern rcli-, ti gious z-Jiil. And though wc have much j b no doubt that is more solid and deep; yet; a there is reason to believe that as a general p th'ng the true nature of religion is not as It well understood among us, as it has been ; s; in the church in former periods. tti This brings confusion m:o the view the.! ai is taken generally of the ends that should 1 s< be aimed at, in seeking to advance the cause it of righteousness. Ends that fall in most; o readilv witlu the common secular ideas on ri * % f ' the subject of the improvement ot society, jc too often usurp the chief place; either throw- J ing out ot' view entirely those that are strict- w ly spiritual, or thrusting them in:o a sccon- a; darv and subordinate s:\uation. The sane- oi ' I 1 ' 1 1 . _ * . _ I A, I I _ prints from it, must partake largely of an-! >thcr ciiarac:er. It cannot be strictly spir-> tual. I; must carry something of a worlds' complexion, even where it assumes to be , dmost entirely devoted to the interests of 'dig ion. When we come to analyze it, we Ind it to he extensively of the spirit.of man, md net properly speaking of the spirit of Jo 1. The course of things in this countrv is >uch as powerfully to dispose the general ; mind to fail into error, wi.h regard to this j subject. We are so much taken up with \ he outward world, that wc cannot help j transferring much that belongs to it, to the ; things of religion. Our ideas of moral beauty arc in many cases obscured by the iin-. ;>rcss:ons of sense. Our conceptions of, Lro;)d are bewildered by thoughts that terminate in the present life. Our notions ofj moral power are made to shape themselves J confusedly, by being mingled with views ! that relate to physical relations and physical results.

I 'liie distinguishing spirit and genius of j Chris iauity is peace and love; and one of the fruits of the spirit is peace ;?not only a : ;?nsc of reconciliation and peace with Cod j through t!io merit and in crcession of Christ, and as a fruit of tin's jracc of conscience, the j joyful hope that we are objects of the di-! rine favor, and have passed from death 1 into life :?but also a loving and peaceable , disposition towards all men, arising from Christian principles and motives. This pcaccahleness being a fruit of the Holy ?Spirr, must begin in the heart and j khiper. So far as it is truly Christian, it i supposes a change of nature: for. although j some men are more indolent and easy in :heii temper than others, and are naturally j Averse to ouarrelling, and fond of case and piic!, they cannot he said to love and study wacc, upon Gospel motives, until their na:urcsaro changed and renewed by the God ]f peace. iSucii persons may be said to ; lee from contention, as a coward from a i nan that brics-o hi.n ; not from a real dis- | lite to quarrelling or love of friendship. IVaeeabieness, therefore, as a Christian 7 i cm per, supposes not only a hearty love; ind value lor peace, from the amiablcness 1 >fsuch a temper in itself, from tlic author. ! ty of Cod wiio enjo;ns it, in imitation of lie example and spirit of Christ, who sets < is the brightest pattern of it, and from the . raluable purposes it serves in the world and md church; but also, zealous and unwearied si Jcavors to maintain n ponooablo disposiion in ourselves towards all men, an 1 to >r jmote it among others.?A pretence to ove peace, while we are litigious and pro- ; oldug, .' onaticiiS fretful and peevish, s.ub- j >orn and .efractorv, and while we promote [ he quarrels of o'.horfl? i? t;ic vilest and bar ; est hypocrisy. < The aposllu tjiis us, "If it he possible, as j nuch as in us lies, to follow peace with all r.en/' This plainly supposes, that, how- ! vcr wo ought zealously and sincerely to en- ; eavor it, and to let nothing fail on our part, 1 i order to obtain this universal peace with i lankind, yet the tiling may he often impos- i iblc to us : and that, in such cases, we can- j ot charge ourselves with blame. This may happen through the perverse unions of those with whom wc have to do. ,'aptious persons often take oflence without : ny occasion,and will hearken to no rca-! an against their preconceived prejudices. " > i. >i .i__ lie more you yieiu to mem, me mure uu casonublc are their demands ; for that the ! lily way of being at peace with them, is to , reak olf all intercourse and connection.* : With others wc cannot be at peace with, i ut violating our consciences, or acting conarv to our duty. If we do our duty to ? ?em, they will not he at peace with lis : j1 ut we cannot, wc must not buy their peace i nd good-will so dear, as to sell our own j. eace with (?od for the purchase. Neither j ufli, nor holiness, nor justice should be ; lcrilice J for peace. To obtain peace with j ,en, we must not make shipwreck of faith < nd a good conscience towards God. Con iqucntly, those who in a modest and ciiarable manner, maintain and defend their un religious principles against adversaes,?or zealously reprove vice, cannot j istly be charged with unpcaccallcness. To do what in us lies to follow peace 1 ith ail men, implies, that we humbly lay), tide all pride and prejudice in the pursuit f peace ; tnat wc try again, as far as wc j iwful'y may, to obtain this desirable end ; nd that wc labor zealously to promote the j L*ace of our neighbors, without widening leirdiliercuccs by ill oniccs.f A proud man >' in never be a truly peaceable man. He ' ho wouidseek peace and pursue it, must j or be ashamed to humble himself, confess j. ' - ^ ??1 nnA/Tfnl ?nrl er?nc. id iauiib? uuu iiiukv i-iiu iv i p.ablc concession, in order to the re-estab- j shins of peace. This Christian grace of peacoablencss, ; " not confined to a few friends, nor to a j ivorite party, but must extend to all men. ; j ome think, that if they can live at peace i , 1 their families, with their friends,their next j eighbors, or their church, it is immaterial j hat temper they have to the rest of the t J, those of other kingdoms, or religious rof.ssions.?But pcaceubleness as a Chris, i1 an grace, arises from a principle of uni- ' crsal love and charily to ali. men, and icrcfore has all :<ien for its object. As re are to love all men, and do good to all en, so. as much as in us lies, we are to ve peaceably wall all men ; and for this . urpose, our Saviour teachcth us to con. i iiler every man as our neighbor, and every nt' Christian in the world, as our parly.? < \> this purpose, ; c Wc should be careful to behave inofler- ] ively to all rnen.q; A peaceable temper will j * strain us from insolence, rudeness, injur:- j j us reflections, and outrageous passions to- i s aids others : it will engage us to study \ t ien"s tempers, and be tender of using such j \ inoccnt freedoms, with passionate persons, " s might h.> no temptation to others who are f a imMur temper. I? will restrain us from ; acting ill-; busy-body, by intermeddling un necessarily in l lie affairs of others, or pryin? into their secrets with a design to revea them, whereby they are provoked and other inflamed. It will also engage us for con science sake to give unto all, in their severs stations, that honor and respect which is dir to them, and the neglect of which might hi just matter of oflenec.? A truly peaceable man is slow in taking offence ; slow :o wrath.?Ilow many dis turbanccs atid contentions happen in th world, by apprehending offences where non are either meant or given ? A peaccabl person, will he unwilling to suppose that ai alfront is designed against him,and be read to put the best construction on doubtfi words or actions. A peaceable man is not implacable, hi is desirous to regain and re-establish poac as soon as possible. Peace is Lis elemenl ?n.vinnn 111.1 niiiiiliit lAii y.T 11: UI'J \*'l\ u ll'I'VI tviiVi \-W||ijnv AIUII VI soul; mi' 1 therefore, when :i breach hap pons, he watches atiil lays hold of tiic vor first reconciliation; finding himself unhapp while in a stale oi' variance with his neigh bor.jj A peaceable man will rather put up wit many small injuibs, tlian proceed to th rigor of jus.ice, or commence law suit.' which are not only expensive and tediou: but almost ever widen the breach, inflam the angry passions, and procrastinate th wished.lor term of reconciliation.^ Aitn.t ham affords its a fine example of a pcace.i ble temper.** We should be most assiduous in cultivr ting peace and good-will, with those wi whom we arc most nearly connec'cd, sue as our families, neighborhoods and church es : for, as from these, we have daily temp tations to anger and contention, so on strongest guard should he placed w here th greatest danger lies. Besides the maintain ingand promoting of peace in these coi: ncxions, is the hiirest way of promoting ou ow n fluty and happiness, and that of o:her around us. Above all, Christians are under the high est and most inviolable obligations to bo a peace with one another, bv the /azrcand uo tires of their holy religion. They arc th children of the God of peace; peace is th bond of union among themselves ; Curb has bequeathed his pence to them, and, i they arc Christians indeed, they arc ani mated and aided by the spirit of love am peace: besides, by an unpeaceable contcn tious temper they disgrace their profession and injure the inlcres.s of their commoi Chrisiianity.it An unpeaceable temper is carnahnischie vous, diabolical.X\ It is always the fruit of pride, ambition and passion.??

Knowledge, righteousness, peace 1 p< end joy in the Holy Ghost, the things in 1 tl which the kingdom of God mainly consists,' ei ;.re made to jjrive wav to the claims of oth-! w er objects, which after all are in comparison ; n hut the outworks of Christianity. j h Of course, there must be a like want of o clear and correct sentiment, with regard to ' 11: the way in which tiro ends of Christiani y 1 should be pursued. Agencies of a purely k spiritual charac cr are well comprehended, i f; The value of truth is lost sight of, to a con- ; .S siderable extent. The nature of moral it Kuver, the force of simple holiness, the i:iu- 11 dus operandi of the Gospel, are neither un- j u derstood nor approved.

But 'rue Christian activity, as | ti it was displayed in Paul, and as we meet I 'I with it in Baxter or Martyn, grows out of' a deep and intimate communion of the soul ! si with God, and can be k< pt only while this is 1 n cultivated as the standing habit of life; where- j o as the reigning form of religion, at this time ; w is strikingly defective, ilist in this respect.? | n It does not take in to any great extent, the 1 ii frue and only sufficient grounds of evange-! a: itca! erfon.
