CHARITY.
A LETTER OF THE REV. JOHN* NEWTON Tf
A YOUNG MINISTER.
Mi/ dear Friend,
The more I think of the point you proposal
to mo, the more I urn confirmed to re
new t ie advice I then gave. There if
'ibtless such a tiling as Christian prudence,
bu\ my friend, beware of counterfeits.
Self-love, and an evil heart of unbeh-l
will endeavor to obtrude upon us ti
prudence, so called, wh'ch is as opposite
to the former as daskness to light. 1 do
not say that, ll0w you have a wife, and the
prospect of a family, you are strictly bound
to communicate with the post in tiie same
proportion as formerly : 1 say you arencl
bound; for every thing of ihis sort should
proceed from a willing mind. But if you
should te!i me, the Lord lias g ven you
such a zeal for his gl< ry, such a concern
for the iio::or of the Gospel, su a love
to his members, such a grateful sense
of his m *rcies, and such an alliance m his
providence and promises, that you find
yours If very unwilling to be one sixponc
in the year less useful than you was before
I could not blame you, or dissuade you from
it. But I do not absolutely advise r. be.
cause I know not the slate of your inind, or
!!i'M>ure offaith the Lord has given you.
Only thi> I bt li ve. that when the Lord
>- vos such a confidence lie will not d.s up.
sat :t.
'V ion I look among the professors yea,
.n;?v!g *he ministers of the Gospel, there
i.' tVw tilings I see a more general want of
t .. su.h a trust in God, as to temporals,
and > \-h a sense of the honor of being
permit I to re .'.'eve the necessities of his
people is 'iiignt dispose them to a more
1:b :ia: 1 slnbu'ion of what they have at
present in their po v t, and to a reliance on
iiim for a sufficient supply in fu:ure. Soinc
exceptions there are some persons I have
the happiness to know whose chief pleasure
it seems to be to devise liberal tilings. For
tue most part, we take care first, to be well
supplied, if possible, with all the necessaries,
conveniences, and not a few of the
elegancies, of iife, then to have a snug fund
laid up against a rainy day, as the
phrase is, (if this is in an increasing way
so much the better.) that when we look at
children and near relatives, we may say
to our hearts, " Now they are well provided
for." And when we have gotten all
this, and more, we are perhaps content, for
the love of Christ, to bestow a pittance of
i?.r superfluities, a tenth a tw entieth part of
wtiat we spend or hoard up for ourselves,
upon the poor. But, alas! what do we
herein more than others ? Multitudes, who
know nothing of the love of Christ, will do
thus much?yea, perhaps greatly exceed
us, from the mere feelings of humanity.
But, it may be asked, would you show no
regard to the posssibihty of leaving your
wife or children unprovided for?
Quite the reverse. I woulJ have you
attend to it very much ; and behold, the
Scripiures show you the more excellent
way. If you had a htttle money to spire,
would you not lend it to me if I assured
you it would be repaid when wanted ? I
can point out to you, better security than
I could possibly give you: Prov. xix. 17.
"He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth
unto the Lord : and that which he hath
given will he pay him again." What think
you of* this text ? Is it the word of God or
not ? Is he worthy of belief or not ? Is he
able to make good h s word, oris bo not?
I dare stake ail my interest in your friend,
ship (which I should be very loth to forfeit)
that if yon act upon this maxim, in a spirit
of prayer and faith, and with a s ngle eye
to his glory, you shall not be disappointed.
Read over Matt. vi. 26?34 Shall we
confine that reasoning and those promises
to the primitive times? Say no% uIfthe
Lord would make windows in Heaven this
might be." lie has more ways to bless
and prosper those who trust in him, than
we are able to po:nt out to him. But 1
tell you, my friend, he will sooner make
windows in Ileaven, turn stones into bread,
yea, stop the sun in its course, than he will
suffer those wbo conscientiously serve him
and depend upon him to be des itute.
Some instances we have had of ministers
who have seemed to transgress the
bounds of strict prudence m tluir attention
to the poor. But they have been men of
fatih, prayer and zeal; if they d.d it not
from a caprice of humor, but from such
motives as the Scriptures surest and re.
commend, I believe their families hnve seldom
suffered for it. I wish you to consuit
on this head what Mrs. Ailcine says in
the affecting account site lias given of that
honored and faithful servant ol God, her
husband, Joseph Alleine. Besides, you
know not wii.it yon may actually save in
the course of a year by this method. The
Apostle, speaking of some abuses that obtained
in the Church of Corinth, says:?
* For this cause many are sick among
you." If prudence should shut up the
"bowels of your compassion, (which 1 trust
it never will) the Lord might quarter an
apothecary upon your family, who would
perhaps cost you twice the money that
would have sufficed to refresh his people
and to commend your ministerial character.
But if, after all, prudence will be heard, I
counsel you to do these two things. First
be very certain that you alio ?v yourself in
nothing superfluous. You cannot, I trust,
in conscience, think of laying out one penny
more than is barely decent, unless you
have another penny to help the poor. Then,
secondly, let your friends who are in good
circumstances, be plainly told, that though
vou love them, pru lence and the necessary
charge of a family will no* permit you to entertain
them : no, not fur a night. What!
say you, shut my door against my friends ?
Yes, by all means, rather than against
Christ.
If the Lord Jesus was again upon earth
in a state of humiliation, and he and the
best friend you have, standing at your door
and your rovisions so strait that you could
not receive both, which would you entertain?
Now, he says of the poor, " inasmuch as
ye ffd it to the least of these my brethren,
yo c"1 it unto rr?.Yr*.:r have
' houses of the r own, and money to pay at!
) an inn, it'you do not take thorn in ; but the !
poor need relief. j
One would almost think that passage |
. (Luke xiv. 12,14,) was not considered as a I
. j part of God's word?at least, 1 believe
j there is not one passage so generally ncg-!
. j lec:ed by his own people. I do not think !
, jit unlawful to cntertcriain our friends ; but
,! if those words do not teach us that it is in j
... i
, | some respect our duty to give a preference j
. to the poor, I am at a loss to understand j
,! them.
. j I was enabled to sot on? upon the plan 1
> I r^nonunonil In c/in rtt i'n<> In,id wht'ti lilV i
I j
, I certain income was much too scanty for
! my own provision, and belbrc I had ex- j
I i pectatlon or promise of assistance from any |
i j person on earth. Only I know that the j
i Lord would provide nio with whatever he j
, saw neediul, and I trusted that if he kept i
, me dependant upon himself and desirous to j
j live for his service only, lie assuredly would
i do so. I have as yet seen no cause to re-1
I pent it. 1 live upon his promise ; for as to j
; any present ways or means, every (tiling j
; here below is so uncertain, that I consider j
II myself in the same situation, with the birds ;
i of the air, who have neither house nor j
I ti'irn MV, I lnt7t? nnnnrrli fNr niV'SPlf i
! and something to impart to them that need;
I as to futurity, the Lord mast provide; and
j for the most part I believe lie will. 1 can j
I tell you, however, that now and then my j
! heart is pinched ; unbelief creeps in, and ;
j self would much rather choose a strong:
j box, or what the world calls a certainty,j
; than a life of absolute dependence upon the 1
j providence of God. However, in my com- '
I posed hours I am well satisfied. Hitherto {
| lie lias graciously taken care of me, there, j
1 fore may my heart trust in Him and not be
j afraid.
I Consider, my friend, the Lord has done
i well for you likewise. He has settled you
J " - - " *
j peaceably in a good and honourable interjest;
he has now answered your prayers
j in giving you a partner with whom you j
| may take sweet cousei?one that will help !
and strengthen you in your best desires
Beware therefore of that reasoning which
might lead you to dis.rust the Lord your
God, or to act as if you did. "You complain
tiiat there is too much of an expensive j
taste among some persons of your congre- ;
gation. If you set yourself to discou. t;nance
this, and shoufd at the same time 100
closely shut up your hands, they will be 1
ready to charge you with being governed j
j by the s;.nu worldly spirit, though in ano- !
| thcr form. If you have been hitherto
tender and bountiful to the poor, and should
make too gre. t and too sudden an alteratioti
in this rcsp ct, if .he blame should not
fall upon you, it most probably would fall
! upon your wife, who I believe would be far
! from deserving it. If the house which has
j been open to the poor in former times,
j should be shut againt them now you live in
! it, would it not lead the people's thoughts
I back ? Would it not open the mouths of j
t those who do not love your ministry to say,!
| that notwithstanding all your zeal about j
I doctrines, you know how to take care of
i your own interest as well a6 those whom
i you have thought indiflerent and lukowarm
I in the cause of the gospel ? Would it not ?
j But 1 forbear. I know you need no such :
! arguments. Vet I consider how many |
1 eyes are upon you, watching for your halt- i
! ing. Now at vour first setting out is the !
? o # o
I proper time to seek the Lord's direction, (
that you may from the beginning adopt
! such plans as may be most to your own
j comfort, the honor of your character as a
i minister, the glory of Him who has called
I you, and the education of your people.
It is easier to begin well than to make alter,
ations afterwards. I trust the Lord will
guide and bless you in your deliberations.
! And for my own part, I am not in the least
! nfWiiil flint vi.ii will Imve en use In bhime me
lor the advice I have given, if you should he
disposed to follow it.
j I have given you my opinion freely, and
: perhaps with an appearance of more strictness
than is necessary. But I would apply
our Lord's words in another case to this.
*' All men cannot receive this saying?lie
that is able to receive it, let hint receive
it."
j If the Lord has given you this confidcnce
in his word, you are happy. It is
! belter thau the po:ses ion of thousands by
j the year.

JOHN NEWTON.
! Extract from the Eighth Ward Temper- !
ancc Society of the city of New York, ;
which contains 2000 members.
i 4*S.iIl we have to submit to the licensing, j
in our city, the las' year, of 2,937 dram. !
shops, and be taxed $436,000, to suppoit i
J the 22.696 paupers, and the 85S convicts, {
' " - i\' .! ~ J
1 principally me onspring ui must; urum- ;
shops, ar?d to see 2,000,000 bushels of j
; grain, in r'tis year of scarcity? taken from i
tiie rnoutiis of the poor, and converted into
poison, to make the poor more poor, and I
the wretched more m serable. If this grain j
that is now worse and wasted, was con i
verted into breadstuff's, it would supply our
whole city more than two years. Not with
standing those facts, our cause is prog res.
sing, and its influence is felt in every de?
partment of society. In 1830, when our
population was but 307,021, we had
3,140 licensed grogshops, 26,190 paupers, '
and 963 convicts. In 1936, with a popiu !
lation of about 290,000, we had 2,937 j
licenced dramshops, 22,696. paupers, and ,
959 convictions; showing an actual de" j
crease in proportion to the population, of !
33 per cent. Or, say increase of popula- ;
tion, 93,000; decrease of licensed dram" '
sheps, 203; of paupers, 3,500; of coavic^ j
itons, 105.
INTERESTING CONVERSION. j
A child eight or nine vears olJ, said to I
O 9 # j
her impenitent mother one evening, "Moth- j
er, do you believe the Bible?" The mother
said "yes my child, I believe the Bible." '
"Weli" continued the little girl, "Mother, j
do yon pray to God every night?" "You J
may well think," said the mother, when
i re'ating :h:s tothe church session, "you ;
may weil think liow I felt, to have such a ]
question asked me by such a child." The
mother wa*1 ed to reflect, became alarmed
respeting herself, prayed to God for moicy, j
surrendered herselftothe Lord Jesus Christ, |
and soon rejoiced in hope. She now not j
only believes, but reads and obeys her B.ble |
prays to God every night with and for her ;
children, and lias recently joined the church :
of Christ.
Tire above occurred in the town ofj
S N. V., in tire summer 1836.

Sandwich Islands.?The Reverend !
Cphraiin Spaulding writes to the 1'Mitors j ..
of tire Vermont Chronicle ;
The young Princess Nahienaena (Hen. j
rie ta) died at lionoulu, at 11 o'clock A. ;
M. on tire 30th of December his*, the day 1
previous to our embarkation. She had j J
been married about 18 months to Lele o j ^
Hoke, (shooting star,) a young chief ot high , jt
distinction, mor^ generally known among ft
foreigners by the name of Billy Pitt, and a
had recently buried her infant child, which s
had it survived, would have been heir to _
the highest authori y. For two or three i
weeks previous to her death, she appeared j 4
humble, and peniten', and gave comfortable | "
evidence to the missionaries who visited ;
her, that she had rcallv returned like the j
Prodigal, to her Heavenly Father. Such :
are the circumstances of her life and last j
illness, that her death must make a deep "
and lasting impression upon tiie nation for ?
good.
PULPIT ZEAL.
Extract from William Cowper the poet, J to
his intimate friend, Rev. John Newton. \ s
No man was ever scolded out of his sins. :
The iieart, corrupt as it is, and because it is j _
sorrows angry if it be not treated with some j
management unci good manners, and scolds
again. A surly mastiff* will bear perhaps {
to be poked, though he will growl even un- f
der the operation, but if you touch him 3
roughly, lie will bite. There is no grace
that the spirit of self can counterfeit with I
more success than a religious zeal. A man
thinks he is fighting for Christ, and ho is
fighting for his own notions. He thinks that #
(DO '
he is skilfully searching the hearts of others, .
when he is only gratifying the malignity n
of his own; and charitably supposes his j11
hearers destitute of all grace that he may ! c
shine the more in his own eyes by compar- | v
ison. When he has performed this notable | ?
task, he wonders that they are not conver- j11
ted. 4IIe has given it to them soundly | J
and if they do not tremble and confess that j n
God is in them of a truth, he gives them t
up as reprobate, incorrigible, and lost for- c
ever. But a man that loves me, if he sees n
me in an eiror will pity me, and endeavour g
calinlv to convince meofir.nrwl niirstmdeme u
to forsake it. If he has great and good news I
to tell me, lie will not do it angrily, and in i much
heat and discomposure of spirit. It
is not therefore easy to conceive on what j I
ground a minister can justify a conduct!
which only proves that he does not under-;
stand his errand. The absuridi:y of it would >
certainly strike him if lie were no: himself j
deluded. j s1
A people will always love a minister, if j a
a minister seems to love his people: there- | f<
fore you were beloved at L nley.

Sir:?'I'hc Managers of the Charleston Bibli
Society, have appointed tho undersigned, a com
mittce to prepare and sond forth a Circular, invi
tirg the several Bible Societies in the State t<
unite with them by their delegates, in a Conven
tion, to be held at Columbia, on Tuesday the 5tl
December 1837.
The objects to be secured by such a Conven
tion. are to ascertain what has been done in thi:
.t-- i-.i c. c
oimu lur inu xu?i iuur ui uvu jums >u jjmn(
circulation to the Bible; whit facts may bo col
lected, which will throw li^ht upon our yet re
maining destitutions; whether it is expedient, t<
i engage simultaneously in rcsupplying the J>tat(
with the Word of Lite upon apian siivilar tc
that which was agreed upon in Columbia, scvcra
years a^o; and it so, by what means and by wlial
agencies the plan can bo most fully and thor
oughly, and jcdiciously carried into effect, sc
that our entire reading population, have free ac
cess to copies of the Holy Scriptures in thei:
own possession. And finally to deliberate upor
any other subject connected with the ditlusior
of the Bible, whether at home or abroad, ir
Christian or in heathen lands.
The general fact is known, that districts ol
country, which have been thoroughly suppliet
I one year have contained many destitute families
j lie next; and what is true of one district is tru<
| of all the rest, as the same causes operate to ere
ate the want, viz: the formation of new families
the immigration of others, and the wearing out c
tho Bibles themselves In most cases where ;
( rc-supply has been uadertaken, after an intervu
of four or five years, tho destitution has bcei

j louna iuu nan as great as ui mo perzou 01 uu
j original supply, and in some cases greater, fiorz
' the causes already assigned. We allude to thii
i fact because it was one of the principal motive!
which induced the Managers of the Charieslor
; Bible Society to propose a convention.
The Committee regard it a3 superfluous to urg<
| the subject upon your consideration by any lur
| thcr remarks, as all the reasons for a Convention
: which wc could submit, must be farniiliar toyoui
' mind. All that we have so solicit, is, that vol
i would call the attention of your society to th<
I proposition, that should they deem it expedient
! delegates may be appointed to represent your So
! cioty in the Convention.
We have the honor to subscribe ourselves, ir
i name, and by the appointment of the Manager!
! of the Charleston Bible Society your fellow la
borers in the Bible cause.
