ggm i.I pn.-^n?n?jgjw? x ggyBBggggg RELIGIOUS. w ~BEN E FITS OF A FFLICiiON. Numberless Christians have been eon- j' strained to declare that it was in their imprisonment, or place of exile?in tlieir ? lonely sick chamber, or in the dajs when they were forsaken by men, and cast out 01 by the world, that they entered really into j rc their own hears, and ascertained their true gi spiritual state. The leaven of the I'hari- in sees was then put away from them, and i T worship was no longer paid to an iniagin- ! tii ary Saviour. They began to long in j a! earnest for close communion with them; J \'i and the wrestling prayer of Jacob, lasting j U until day-break, which they had only j fu talked of before, now became a matter ol I fu reality and experience, and event in their'sc own personal history. And a hundred; m other things pertaining to inward religion, i> imagination appropriated hitherto, were | cc t!?ui individually realized. Tiiev were > ' ( 1 lien also first truly brought into the nam-1 her of those sheep who hear ///$ voice, j1,3 and were never so conscious that lie really i Pc liv? s and speaks to Ids children, and walks ! S1 and dwells with them: nor did they ever j SL experience his tender consolation and sup-! n( port, or ever feel his love so strongly and j unequivocally, as at that very time when c) their path was so solitary and through the wilderness; when they were obliged to be j, with their Lord alone. Therefore he en? 01 couraged, yc who dwell by the brook of? Gcrith, in solitudes, for God's dew can ' , drop upon the dwellings, as David sings, j' and the pastures in the wilderness do spring i ^ with blessings.?Elijah the Tishbite.?

The heart j pj which hitherto had been like the troubled j |0 sen, is now changed into an abode oflieav- j { only grace; and the soul which a little be- th tore had sat down in sackcloth and in ashes,! sc suddenly rises in joy and transport, as en : is eagle's w ings, now that the eye of divine! c( compassion has beamed upon if.

Journal. , nc j AUTHENTICITY OF THE BlIiLK. | The following passage from Simpson, j aj contains an interesting outline of the proofs j ai of the Divine Inspiration of the Scrip- j jn turcs: 9 ' jki "There are four grand arguments for w the truth of the Bible. The 1st is the . miracles on record?2d, the prophecies? lil 3d, the goodness of the doctrine?4th, the ?r moral character of the pensman* The mirac-.es How from divine power; the prophecies from divine understanding; the-excellence w ot the doctrine lrom divine goodness; and the moral character of the penman from w divine purity. Thus Christianity is built t0 noon these four immovable pillars, th< "! powr r, the understanding, the goodies, and j t!ie purity of God. The Bible must be s. the invention of good men or angels, bad c, men or devils, or God. It cou:d not be the invention of good men or angels, for it they neither would uor could make a book, t] and tell lies all the time they were writing P it saying, "Thus saith the Lord," when it ^ was their own indention. It could not be e the invention o: bad men or devi;.?. for they f< ould not make a book which commands I il uu'y, forbids ali sin, and condemns their *)uis to hell to all eternity. I therefore no raw this conclusion?the Bible must be iven b-j Divine Inspiration. St. Chrvsologue tiiu^ expresses himself 1 the death ofDives and Lazarus. What .'volution, what change is this ? Holy an. ^ -Is convey the soul of the poor man to jjr raven ! Hell swallows up the rich man ! nr 'he happy death of Lazarus eclipses all Br e glory of the lite of Dives, and tarnishes | Bii I the splendor and pomp of his funeral!

Tiie Almighty, says St. Fcrom, is never j EH ore provoked with us, than when he ap. j Eli rars the least displeased; his greatest an. j ^ :r is noi to shew his anger.?On the same | ; ibject, St. Paiilin says ; That the good. pu ?ss of our heavenly Father is so great, pc at even his anger proceeds from his merhe chastens,not, but to pardon. Gs : Gr Amalgamation.?Much has been said of j ;e on the union of Christian seels, and : II 1 liberality of religious views. But most ; H 'the plans of union proposed, involve a H irrender of what we conceive to be funda- | ental doctrines of the Gospel, and ifadop. d, can end only in more serious strife jjj -in confusion, and every evil work. In jj; e Chrisltan Register we find a letter from i ev.

PROPOSED BIBLE CONVENTION. [Circularprepared by direction of the Charleston Bible Society. Charleston', May 1837. ( Sir.?The Managers of the Charleston Bible | ociety, have appointed the undersigned, a com- j littee to prepare and send forth a Circular, iuvi- j rg the several Bible Societies in the State to nite with them by their delegates, in a Conven-' on, to be held at Columbia, on Tuesday the 5th , iccembcr 1837. The objects to be secured by such a Conven-! on. are to ascertain what has been done in this i ' tate for the last four or five years in giving irculation to the Bible; what facts may be co!- 1 jcted, which will throw light upon our yet re- ' laining destitutions; whether it is expedient, to ngagc simultaneously in rcsupplying the State ' ;ith the Word of Life upon apian similar to liat which was agreed upon in Columbia, several j cars afro; and if so, by what means and by what gencics the plan can be most fully and thor- 1 ughly, and jcdiciously carriod into effect, so 1 fiat our entire reading population, have free ac- : ess to copies of the Holy Scriptures in their 1 vvn possession. And finally to deliberate upon ' ny other subject connected with the diffusion 1 f the Bible, whether at home or abroad, in 1 christian or in heathen lands. . The general fact is known, that districts of ' ountry, which have been thoroughly supplied ne year have contained many destitute families e next; and what is true of one district is true f all the rest, as the same causes operate to ere. j tc the want, viz: the formation of new families, . he immigration of others, and the wearing out of lie Bibles themselves- In most cases where a e-supply has been uadcrtaken, after an interval f four or five years, the destitution has been jund full half as great as at the period of the | riginal supply, and insomo cases greater, fiom J lie causes already assigned. We allude to this t ict because it was one of the principal motives \ i ,'hich induced the Managers of the "Charleston liblc Society to propose a convention. The Committee regard it as superfluous to urge lie subject upon your consideration by any furlier remarks, as all the reasons for a Convention, I ,-hich we could submit, must be farniiliar to your liad. All that we have so solicit, is, that you , ,-ould call the attention of your society to the . roposition, that should they deem it expedient, elegates may be appointed to represent your So. ' iety in the Convention. We have the honor to subscribe ourselves, in ( amc, and by the appointment of the Managers f the Charleston Biblo Society your fellow la. 1 orcrs in the Bible cause. B.
