For the Episcopal Recorder. KCFOR.'IATION I'H >PCS'?D. is it not exirem ly d usir d>Ie, lii it ::!! religionists in this country, particularly professing Christians, should adopt the Christian religion 7 What! adopt, a n l gion iti which we have been educated, and whose truth we have never questioned ? O yes. Many have been educated in nil the forms of the Christian religion, who never dream what it is. 15ut then we are inembts of lite Church in good standing. Do you nut suppose, then, tint! a 111:11 whose religion is bipt?z?d covet? ,s:r;ss. rrnvstand fair in the Church upon earth ? !>ut the covetous, nun is ended in Sjjipture a.n idolater. Mo!r ry idiis religion, il.s heart, the whole of which l*od requires, is fixed upon gold and silver an 1 bank stocks. His religion is not tiie Christ inn, any morn truly than is tho Muhomedan. lie has some Cln stian names tor his actions, but performs no Christian deeds. Would not such a man do well !<> adopt the Christian religion ? Without the change, he is excluded from ail chance of heavenly bliss. No covetous man halii any part in the kingdom of Cod. How many will be excluded by a mistake in thfvr r Hgion ! There is another class of religioniftn, who need 10 reform in the same way. Their whole a|}octions are upon their friends and families. Their religion cannot ho tho religion of the Bible : for th n must their O - ? 'hearts be given 10 Ciod. Nor is the religion of the female, ivltose affections are absorbed in dress and com. puny, whatever may be her profession, any more Christian : it is biptzc! world ism. This la ti r, by the way, is din mcst prevalnut rcl'g'Oii in the United States. It em hr ices large numbers in every denomina-nauon. ami Irom die uni'y ofh-eliug among r?s m iuIkts, iias almost exclusive sway. It* : if vnrv nnnti.ar iv.tii VviU II Mf.V IIIUI^ V .. . ...... many, who vouid reject its true title. It em bracesall Ihusbyterians who value their okn religion more thai) that of the BihJc. So oi Methodists* Biptists, Episcopalians, *Szc. if they fe? l more anxiety to convert men to their 0*0 peculiar seniments than to the Chris i in religion. The religion of all such has supreme respect'o tins wo. 11, and is really woridism. it may not be proper to mention some ad. vantages which the Christian ^digionoffers, compared with any of the religious mention, ed above. In the first place, it fitstl?e sool for eternal bliss. Tins can they never do. since tneir object is merely for the present state of being. It makes the heart evjiy , day more pure and fit for a holy heaven? constantly knocks ofTfe-icr af'er fi tter, in which sin has bound t e soul?leads 011 i s happy subject to n?'w light, life, nud joy. The soul emerges tardier and farther ou' of its native corruption toward perfect purity. Again : tne Christian religion secures more than all tne benefi s of tiie others, merely for tilts life. They can give hut small an l inconstant pleasures ai best. It secures all needtul nlessings.evn ofthe kind ijrported from : e otlr r>.

Thoro ;? jinother most splendid advnn'noe rained bv truly adopting the Christian religion. The saints share the kingdom of Christ : " To him that ovcrcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcome, and am set down with the Father in his throne." True believers do fcij\rc the kingdom of Christ even in tin's world. See what a prodigious influence nv?r human affairs they exert. Single in. do-Muds, armed with the armor of God," go forth and subdue hosts of the Saviour's foes.' They ask no earihly power, but are soon ? reign over the whole earth by their moral in. ^uence. The reign which they share is a reign of peace and love, when each additiona! subject i9 one added to the angelic host of -being. See then, fellow-man, to what digioty you may be exalted. Earth'y kings and princes are despicably mean, compared with the glory which is offered to the meanest of true Christians. This reform is now proposed : let all professing Christians .adopt the Christian religion. The work is worth doing, and easy for all who have a heart to do it. The change may be evidenced by a now life?by forsaking all orh. 0t religions. ? C. S. 4, ' THK DLi>D WABBIO*. There once lived in the island o! Raiuuu n vv:11 rior called M< .

In repeating and | carefully remembering what kind friends : read to him, be got to bnow a great deal to tho Now Testa r ut. ; One Sahbr.ih inorn'ng old Me?s s"at a! church was empty, and Mr. Williams, the ; missionary, observing that he was missing, ! enquired why he was not there. Ue was i told that Me was exceedingly ill, and rot expected to live. On hearing this, Mr. I Williams set out immediately to s<* k o! J I M 'scouage. He found hiin lyiag in a t little but, ami ?j;e e separate from the hous i I in w ii cii those around him bvvj. i On entering tno hu\ Mr. W. said," Mc, I am sorry to find you so ill. Knowing the : voice, Me exclaimed, " Is i you ? I)o I reaiiy hear your voice again before I die ? { luppy now.' Mr. \V. first asked aim ! whether he had plenty of food ; for it is a J custom in those heathen countries, when ! people get old and infirm, for their friends ; to put them to death in the most cruel man; tier. Sometime?, under pretence cf taking a poor ag'-d parent to a stifinm of wa er to bathe, they will Imr) 11 m im<> a hole which thoyhave'dug for tlx- purpose, nnd the a j throw n leap of stones upon the body. In i answer to Air. W.'s qie stion, Me said, that ; aljtinies be j-uifi red much from hunger. ! ?

"I feared lest the people should call nie a tale-bearer, and speak ill f my religion ; and I thought I would r.itlvr suffer hunger or death than i give t iem ocasston to do so. ; Mr. XV. asked what brethren camo : to read wi:h him in his affliction. He nunt <-d several ; hut sail." they do not come as often as 1 could like ; yet I am not lonely, lor I have many visits from God ; God and I were talking together when you came i.-." Well," sa'd Mr. \V??*nnd what were you i talking abou; ?" u 1 was praying to de! p*rt. :<nd ?o he with Christ, which is far bet ier," was his answer.

Mr. W., wishing to know what Ale's i . . .. j construction of this extraordinary ctrcunu > .s?anee was, said, " Til s was certainly a 1 strange sigh: ; but what do you think it ; meant ?"

"That mounain was my Ui.is, and the drop which f II upon it w\*n ; one drop o tiie precious blood of Jesus, by | which the mountain of my guilt must he J melted away." Mr. W. was full of joy tha' 'poor Mo hi! sucn a sense oHns guilt, and , such a nirp \ iew of his Saviour's hi od, and 1 that, alt ongti t;s? eves of his hodv were I b ind, he could, w i;!i the " eye of Ins hear:. :*< o sue!) a glorious sight.

OULD, KENDALL, & LINCOLN have in press, and will pubJxsn ubout the first or March, Travels in Burmah, Hindostan, Malaya, s Siam, and China, by the Rev. Howard Maleom, in 1 volume 8vo. and 2 volumes l2mo., with a superb map of Southeastern Asia, five steel plate engravings and nearly 100 wood cuts. Characteristics of the Work.?It is not a mere diary of events which befel the traveller, but con- 0 tains thousands of facte, dates, numbers, prices, &c. &c. which are cither original or gleaned from f> sources not accessible xn this country. _ ^Incidents, anecdotes, and scenes havo been freely introduced, but only such as tend to make t..c reader hotter acquainted with the country. ? The most perfect impartiality is shown to every sect of Christians, and such details given of the various missions as will make the work equally acceptable to every persuasion. '* Such sketches are given of the history of the c untries, towns, and missions which arc described, as serve to throw light upon their present ; condition. ? The map is beautifully executed, and may be considered original. Many important correc- g tions have been made by actual observation, and M the remainder is chiefly drawn from original and unpublished surveys by British officers, engineers, and surveyors, to which the author was . * 1 pouiciy granica access. , The pictures are wholly new, and form an im- I portant addition to our stock of oriental illustrations; no pains or expenso has been spared in the J mechanical execution of these. Five are on steel, i showing landscapes of Mauluiem, Tavoy, Mcr. I gui, and Sanaing, and a page exhibiting speci. j mens of 15 different oriental languages. The , remainder arc on wood, showing costumes, im. j plemcnts, buiidmgs, fruits, &c. A great p art of the work re'ates to countric- j bit almost entirely unknown, even to the beet in- ! formed persons in our country. Though the work cousins a large amount of; ? missionary and religious details, yet it consists chiefly of geographical, historical, political, and statistical information, designed for general reaJits. > The author. from the important character cfj J lis mission, bin intercourse with distinguished and ^xnorr.n -id J"? a irate stay at each place, his previous familiarity villi foreign countries, and his long experience n the Board of Missions, enjoyed the highest idvantages for gathering ample and correct dcails. Chapters on the mode of conducting modern nissions ; on the measure of success which has ittended the enterprise ; on the almost unknown ribes in and around Burmah ; and other imporant subjects, are added at tiro close of the work, nd constitute no small part of its raluc. A laborious and complete index is appended to he work ; together with a glossary of oriental erms; in which three hundred andeighty words re not only lucidly defined, but accented so as to how their proper pronunciation. The cost of the two volumes will probably not xceed 50, at which price i* will be one of he cheapest works issued from the American iress. TJ,e publishers rely for renumeration rathr ?a a large sale than a high price. A portion of the proceeds of the work are ap* a-oprialcd to the Foreign Missionary Board. 0*The publisher of any paper giving the bove advertisement three inside insertions shall ie entitledito a copy of the work, on application o the publishers, 59 Washington street, Boston. feb 28-..
