It is known to most of our readers who !
have paid niu-h attention to what is pass- j
ing in the religious world, that for some j
years past insidious efforts have been making
by the Rev. Dr. Taylor, of N. Haven,
the Rev. Dr. Beecher, lately of Boston, hut
now of Cincinnati, and others, to revive, in ;
this country, in a somewhat modified and !
disguised form, the exploded heresies of the !
Pelagians. The letter from which we j
make the following extracts, was addressed !
O 7
by the late eminent Dr. Porter, of Andovcr, !
(Muss.) to Dr. Betsher, m this subject, j
The whole lette r is t<>r> long, and partakes I
too much of a scctarhu eliaraeter, for our
columns* But as the heresies referred to >
have spread more or less among did* rent j
religions denominations, especially at the
North and W es", those of our readers wl:o
reiraid these things, wii! take some interest ,
O c *
iu anything on the subject from the pen of
one among the most judicious diviir s ever
produced by our coun'ry.
If you ask me here to speedy what 1 think
wrong in your, orJ)r. Taylor's \iews;?
one of the worst faults I find. is the indefinite
and obscure character of tiicse views, i
In all the annuls ol Theological discussion,
1 have seen no match for Dr. Taylor's obscurity.
I mean when a man has good J
sense, as he has, and can preach with perspicuity.
Ami as for yon, who certainly ;
can speak and write as clearly as any man '
on common subjects, 1 unders'and that you,
as well as Dr. Tnvior, are beginning to
7 ~ O
complain (as system-makers have been wont
fo do) that you are misunderstood. So far
as I have anv distinct conceptions of die ;
new views embraced bv von. or ascribed to
you, the faults I find are chiefly these, viz.
That these views arc not built on' the Jh'We,]
but on philosophical theories as to man's
mind and powers of agency: that your!
preaching does not draw its proof from the
Scrip'tires, and therefore does not iead man
10 " Search the Scriptures'* as much as the ,
plain, serious preaching common in New- j
England pulpits; that you exalt hunnn
agency, so as virtually to lose sight of i s j
correlate,huminfhycnilcnce; and tbusmako i
regeneration so a result of means and instruma
nLsJity, that the sinner is born rather
*of blood or of the will of man. than of Go 1;' ]
and finally, lint your views would cherish
presump uotis reliance on means and ministers.
and in penitent sinners, so as (in direct
con mvenlion of your own meaning) |
to frustrate n vivals of religion. It is cer- i
tainlv more eonsis ent with the Bible to re- ;
present a well instructed, anxious, inquiring
sinner as more likely to be saved, than one
who is ign< r int and car .*less, or else means
would be useless. And though 1 presume
your meaning goes no farther than this, I
apprehend your system goes much farther
in etFx", as vou are understood; for you
are understood to propose that you will take
a sinner, careless though he may be, and in
a certain process, of means, attended on
with an unholy heart, you willf in a moderate
period, return him a corner ed man.
*****
The real Gospel, however skilfully pubished,
if preached clearly will be opposed.
?Experience has indicated this. If yon j
say, tins has resulted from the wrong mode '
of preaching. I add?God lias decided in his '
word that 'Mm.' carnal mind is enmity against '
himself."' Christ preached wisely, no doub ,
yet to his hearers he says, (no% ye would
have loved ?n<^ and my Father, if ye had ,
seen our ch .racier truly, hut) "V1- have seen
aud haled both me and iny Father." You
alarmed me, brother Bocchcr, when you {
explained, ns I nitarians do, the opposition
of Christ's hearers into their natural prejudices,
as Jews; implying that Christ's preach,
ing would not be opjiosed now. If this is
so, Paul made a great mistake when lie
classed Jews and Gentiles together as enemies
to God.
1 regret the impression you have been
mukiug because the grand danger of the ,
ministry always has been a tendency to
modify the Gospel to appease opposi'ion.
There is a large number of orthodox ministers
in New England who from family alliances,
from constitutional delicacy of tern- '
per, &c., vVrc., as 1 hinted above, will ternporize,
and make smooth work, from an j
honest conviction that a full disclosure of:
the truth would alienate their hearers. The
bitter reviiings of base men have been grado
^ o
ually and insensibly leading Christian ministers
to hide their colours, and recede from
their ground. Dr. Spring's church at Xewburyport,
and Park street, especially in Dr. i
Griffin's day, and a few others have stood
like the Macedonian phalanx, hut o hers
have gone backward. Caution, Caution.
has been the watchword ofmiais ers. When
they do preach the old standard doctrines,
it is in so guarded a phraseology that they
are not understood to be die same.
* * * * *
And the ease becomes still more iin
perative, if your most substantial and intelligent
brethren ore apprehensive too. '
These brethren, if I understand the case, are j
among the most discriminating and excel-1
lent ministers of the land. \\ hen 1 told you
how one of them felt 011 hearing you preach ;
at Haverhill, you said that probably three '
thumbs of your brethren would have the !
aan>-'feelings in the same cireums anccs.
Really, brother, you surprise me by that
declaration, accompanied by another, that j
these good brethren must ho brought to the j
light hv gradual aud not by violent transi- j
lion. But why should these good brethren j <
be alarmed should they hear your system I
preached out ? Because they would mi sun. |
dcrxUnid it ? Then take caio that i s basis
be no* darkness. If you cannot make clear
heads, combined with honest hearts, comprehend
your meaning, w hat sort of a sys- j i
tern must this be to enlighten and save the . '
world ? Why then would these brethren 1
be alarmed. Because they understand your i
sys em and solemnly dissent from it? 'i'ake i ]
care then that its basis be not error. Three j t
fourths of your brethren may dissent from , J
you, and yet they be wrong and you right: ' i
but that dissent imposes a solemn claim on j
\ou lo lay your foundation with care. W ho
are these brethren Men whom Eod has j
blessed above all others since the Apos los,
days, as his own chosen'ministers. Men ol
capacity, and some of them not inferior to j
yourself in theological knowledge and powers
of discrimination. In New England
there are three hundred ministers who are
men of thought, and some of them of extensive
reading. I should not dare /o sa\ !
or think of such men that they would, on
on any important points of ditlerence between
them and me, renounce their opinions J
and embrace mine when mine should he I
disclosed to them.
Brace up now, brother Beccher. and hear j
away with mv plainness like a man, as you j
are. Once in a century or two, the church i
needs a g.v?> reformer to r.rise. Some of
your remarks have seemed to mean (what
broth t Beeclter ten or twen'y years ago'
would not have dreamed of) that you were J
born ibr this end; and that the theology of;
New England is the theatre of operation. !
1 do not tax you with ambition or vanity. I
have thought you uncommonly free from i
both, considering the high estimation you ;
have honourably attained. Of the powers of I
your tongue and pen tor popular iniprcs- :
sion. no one has a higher est ima ion than
I: and you must long have been conscious
of those powers yours .'if. I have gloried i
and do glory in your usefulness as a chain- j
pion of the Sabbath and other great and'
good objects. J >ut then I do not think you
a inc/a physician, Lorn to tear up the foun- J
dations laid by Edwards. You are a lih'.t- f
orician, and a popular rcasoncr. Your
forte is impression by vivid argumentation,
and appeal from common sense, and houndless
stores of illustration. 1 praise Clod :
that he has given these talents to a man j
whom I so much love anil respect. I?ut I
would much sooner trust Dr. Hyde, for1
example, to search on. the flaws in a system
of metaphysics, than bro her IJeccher.

PKOTESTANT JESl'ITISM.
Jesuitism in jtrin'iple is not confined to
the Roman Catholics. It is one form of
n'tluroi religion. Too thing itself will al- j
wavs b'- lountl among different denomlna- j
tiousof Protes'an's, in some form, according j
to the means and extoir of die departure in
any given instance 1; om tlie doc'.rine and
order of the serp U:es.
If a person who has never been converted j
(one who lias never died to himself that he
might live unto Christ.) if such an one conies
in o the Church, be he a private member or ;
a teacher, be he rich or poor, learned or j
ignorant, wise or simple, he is a troubler in ;
Israel. The more learned, the more elo- ,
qucnt, the more cunning, in short the more
influence he has, the worse for the Church.

resources which would naturalhj produce j
the desired results, lie has great reliance
on money as a means, and therefore labours
to bring as much of that as possible into the
treasury, lie thinks the rich men's gifts
more than the widow's mite, contrary to the
Scripture, .Mark 12: 11?44. lie also looks I

He is therefore found to rely also much !
upon great learning, industry, genius, and |

as much of these dements ofstrength into
the service of the C.lurch as possible. \ on

young Jesuits, or in other words, bringing

to the purpose, as many poor lads as pos- j

In looking at natural causes, and receiving
as truths the results of human reason.
we are in imminent and constant danger of
offending God, and while wi:h a fierce zeal j
we think we are doing hnn service, are
blaspheming his very name and worshipping
a golden calf, and saying with the infatuated
Israelite s, "These be thy Gods 0 i

A disposition to hoard and treasure up t <
money, as a means of spiritual good, a permanent
fund, a vested stock, is contrary to
faith, and results from an unwillingness to
confide from day to day in the Divine pro- 1
tection and providence. i:

the life of the apostle peter.
Simon Peter, the son of Jonas, and broth-1
< r of Andrew, was u fisherman on the lake J
of Cenncsarct. lie must have been greatly
struck at his first interview with Jesus,
when the moment our Lord saw him, though
a perfect stranger, he 'old him his name, and
his J dlhcr s name. When Jesus beheld
Siim, he said, Thou art Simon, the son of;
Jonas. This apostle was a married man,;
when invited by our Saviour lo accompany j
him?for we read that on hisMv/e's mother j
our Saviour wrought a signal miracle?and J
after our Lord's ascension, his* w ife attend-1
ed him in his travels, and, the ancients say,!
suiloivd martyrdom at Rome about the
same time he did. These two brothers were
hearers of John the l'aptist?and from his
express testimony, and their own personal
converse with Jesus were fully convinced
that he was the Messiah, the object, at thai j
lime, of universal expectation. The eagerness
and forwardness of tin's apostle, bor-1
dering on precipitance and temerity, are apparent
on many occasions. lie is the first,
to reply to all questions proposed bv our i
Lord to the whole collective body of the (
disciples. He hesitates not to animadvert i
upon our Lord himself for his making open
declaration of the future indignities and sufferings
to which he would be exposed, j
Presumptuous and self confident, he made !
the strongest asseverations that he would
never desert his master, though he were sure
to meet death with him in its most dreadful
form. I lis boldness appears in his venturing
out to meet Jesus upon the tempestu-1
oussea, in the night, when tliev could with
great difficulty keep the vessel above water
for the winds and waves. Upon our Lord's ;
being apprehended, he drew his sword, and
struck a servant of the high priest. AH the
other apostles abandoned their master by a
precipitate flight, hut Peter intrepidly followed
him, atsome dis'anee, to the high priest's
palace, went in, and sat down with the ser- ,
vants, to see the end. These are monuments
of this apos le's distinguished resolution
and fortitude. It was upon PliTER,
as upon a firm and immovable ROCK that
Christ promised he would erect the Chris-;
tian church, anil the gates of hell should
not prevail against it, and that he would i
give him the keys of the kingdom of hen-!
ven, and whatsoever he should hind on
ear.h should be hound in heaven, and whatsoever
he should loose on earih should he
loosed in heaven. Though, overcome by !
the fear of imminent death, he denied his
Lord, yet ho soon alter humbled himself, and
shed a torrent of tears, and it is probable
his remorse and distress of mind, for incurring
this shame and guilt, prevented him
from attending his crucifixion, as we find |
St. John did. On the day of Christ's resurrection,
after appearing to .Mary Magdalene
and some other women, the next person,
to whom he exhibited himself, was Peter.
At one these interviews, our Saviour
afforded this apostle an opportunity of lliricc
declaring his love for him?upon which our
Lord confirmed lo him his apostolic char- j
ter, and hade him feed the christian flock j
with fidelity and tenderness. Before his,
nccnmnf'/?n mf<i Iir>nvr?rv lir* Inn' ,v1 thr? m.nn- !
nor of this apostle's death, that another j
should hind him and carry him whether he
would not?intimating, says the historian,
hy what death he should glorify CJod. He
was distinguished bv our Saviour with
marks of peculiar a (Tec t ion. He was a
witness of his transfiguration?was present |
at the raising of Jairus, daughter?and was \
admitted to he present at his devotions and :
agony in the garden of Gethscmane. An
action ol his, upon the report that our Sa- i
viour was risen, is not without its just signif-'
icancc?that when John contented himself |
with only stooping down and taking a trail- j
sient and superficial view of the state of
the sepulchre, Peter went in and searched j
it?After Christ's ascension, Peter propo-;
Hinnainnr a iironcr ner.ann in fhn ronm 1

of the traitor. On the day of Penricost wo j
find liim haranguing the multitude, who had j
collected about them, with undaunted spirit, i
charging the Jews with imbruing their i
hands in the blood of Jesus of Nazareth, a
man approved of God among them by |
many signs and wonders which God bad j
wrought by his hands?publicly asserting
the resurrection, and proclaiming to all, that:
he was true Messiah whom they bad cruci- j
fed and murJcrcd-dclivcring these declarations
with such a spirit and pathos, that j
three thousand souls were that same day!
converted and baptized. Wo next find this
apostle and John healing alamc man at the
gate of the temple, at the report of which .
miracle, as the man was universally known
in Jerusalem, great crowds flocking togctli-;
er, Peter addressed himself to them, in a i
spirited and awakening sermon, by which j
numbers were convinced and embraced j
the Gospel. lie was next imprisoned,]
brought before the >anhodriin, llireater.cd j
:md dismissed. Afterwards we find St. i
Peter severely reprehending Ananias and j I
*>apj>hira lor their mutual agreement to sc. j'
L'fetc some pari of the money for which '
hey had sold their estate, and yet deliver in j I
he rest to the apostles as the whole original j <
mm, hoping to elude and deceive the holy <
Spirit, by acting in this fraudulent manner ji
?upon whose reproof they were both in- <
;tant!y struck dead, by the hand of Ciod, in I
i short space of time, one after anoth-11
,t. We then read how the friends and re- 1
ations of the sick and indisposed brought i

You will think about it! .And is that 0
nil you will do? Had you mountains of gold

than vanity, when balanced against the l[
value of the soul. Its price is above !

to spend next week in heaven, there to eat j

~o7 * o i f r*
You have more than a half or a whole i 11
million at stake; the probability is that you j
will lose all. Next week you may be a | a
glorified spirit, or a spirit lost; and all you
will do is (o think about it! I 11
Felix did just so. lie thought while
Paul preached,?he thought after he sent 11
him awav, and thinks still. O, couldf you
h ar him think?"How have I hatcd^ in- !
struction and despised reproof!" . 0
And so did the rich young man. Christ j .
told him to sell what he had?to give to 1 "
the poor, and follow him. But he thought
of his morality,?of his money, and went j n
away sorrowful. He went away to think, t(
and he is thinking yet.
And there was another rich man who
thought, fie thought about his farms, and j1
his fruits?of pulling down his small barns ,!'
and building greater. lie thought of much | 11
goods, and of many years,?of ease, of Jc
eating, and drinking, and being merry. a
And he thought of his soul just enough to ?
promise it what was not his own?-just as
Satan promised Jesus. And God tho ught
too. He thought to call him a fool, and
to demand his soui that very night.
And you will think about it! I know it
you will. But when ! While it is an ac- a
cepted time, and a day of salvation ! While r;
God calls, Christ invites, the spirit strives, ' n
and conscience warns?while
" Mercy is found and peace is given!"
When? When disease has turned your j S|
chec'ks pale; dimmed the lustre of your n
eyes; weakened if not destroyed your
mind, and is fast cutting the cords of life ? p
You will think about it! 1 know it. And i n
I wish you to do it while thought may be j n
of some avail. A convict on being re. ;
moved from one prison to another, was si
asked, how he liked his new home. Not b
at all, was the reply. Are you not clothed a
and fed as well here? Yes, better. Is I
your labor harder? No, not so hard. ||
Are you not treated with kindness ? Yes. ft
Then why not like it? Because I am al- c
lowed to speak tonoone. I go to the table k
and sit and think. I go about my work all 0
day to think. And at night the iron door ;
shuts mc in my solitary cell to think! think !! b<

Ah! he should have thought, before an ! p,

And so should you think seasonably, and ai
act too. It will be sad thinking in the prison i cl

DEFECT IN A MILL.
A f ilhful Minister, who knew that a mil- '
ir in a certain neighborhood, who was proud
f his business and machinery, prosecuted j
is calling en the Lord's day, as many toilers
do, felt it a duty to call 'upon and get |
ito conversation with him about his mill, i
"A fine mill," said he, "one of the complect
I have ever seen."
This was nothing more than just. The
liller had heard as much many times be- ' ^
)re; but his skill and judgment were grati.!
ed by this new testimony, and his feelings (
onciliated. 1 f
''But, oh !" continued the minister, after 1
little pause, "there is one defect in it." , (
"What is that ?" carelessly asked the J j
liller. j
" A vorv snrious delect, too." a
"Eh ?" replied the miller, turning up his c
JCe*
"A defect that is likely to counterbalance c
11 its advantages." - j t
"Well what is it /" said the miller, stand- ' J
lg up and looking the minister in the face. *
The minister went on : "A defect which \
s likely to ruin the mill." ! [
"What is it ?" rejoined the miller. j <
"And will, no doubt, one day destroy the I
? i
wner.
"And can't you say it out?" cried the j
npatient miller.
"It goes on the Sabbath 1" exclaimed the i
linistcr. in a firm, solemn, and monitory f
>nc.
The astonished man stood blank and '
lunderstruck, and remained listening with
icek submission, to a remonstrance and ex- ,
ortation of a quarter of an hour's length,
1 which the danger of his s ate and practi- I
es, and the call to repentance towards God,
nd faitli in the Lord Jesus"Christ, were ur- J
ed upon him. i t

HINTS ON EARLY EDUCATION.
1. Judicious mothers will always keep <
l mind that they are the lirst book read, 1
nd the last laid aside in every child's libra- *
y. Every look, word, tone, and gesture. *
ay even dress, makes an impression. 11
2. Remember that children are men in *
liniature?and though they are childish, s
nd should be allowed to act as children, a
till all our dealings with them, should be ,
lanly, not morose. c
3. Re always kind and cheerful in their ?
resence?playful, but never light, com- ]c
lunicativc, but never extravagant in statelents,
nor vulgar in language nor gestures, t
4. Before a year old, entire submission r
hould be secured; this may be often won *
y kindness, but must sometimes be ex- 'J
cted by the rod, though one chastisement; 8
consider enough to secure the object. ; I
f not, the parent must tax himself for the t
lilure, and not the perverseness of the j1
hild. After one conquest, watchfulness, ' *
indness, and perseverance, will secure ' t
bedience. |4
5. Never trifle with a child nor speak f
eseechingly to it, when it is doing any ?
nproper thing, or when watching an op- j rj
ortunitv to do so. ; i
G. Always follow commands with a close j li
infants of ten, twelve or eighteen months
old, who often feel grieved or* provoked,

They are purely vegetable and well calculated
for the removal Of all Billions complaints.
They act specially upon the Liver, when in a
orpid condition, carrying oft'a largo quantity of
hie, through the influence of the execment funcLion,
which, if suffered to remain in the system,
vould produce either Jaundice, Liver t '??uplaint,
Millions Fever, Fever and Ague, or some other
jrievous hodily aftiiction. la all cases of torppr
)f the bowels, they act like a charm. In recent
ascs of Dyspepsia, they arc a certain cure. Jfaly
parsons who were subject to violent attune
>f sick head ache, have been much benefitted, and
teveral perfectly cured in a few weeks by tneir
sc. They arc highly recommended as a prevenivo
and cure of Billious complaints. Persons
vho arc subject to that distressing complaint.
ea stcKness, Dy MKing a portion or two 01 uiem

can use them ut any period, without in urring
any risk. Persons going to sea, or to a
louthcrn climate, should by all means take some
>f these Pills with them.?Their virtues will rcuuin
unimpaired for years in any climate. No

clion of the stomach and bowels, thus sufiering

fluids, that most diseases are produced.
)r. P. feels confident that no person who gives
liesc Pills a fair trial, will ever afler feel willing
o be without them. The testimony of thou,
