e i in1 1 Abridged from the Now York Observer. | LETTER FROM FRANCE. Montausan (Tarn-and-Garonne,) ) 11 March. 1839. \ (CONVERSION OR AN AGED GERMAN rHVSlOlAN. The Archieves oj Christianity, a religious journal of Paris, lately published a letter writteo from Germany, containing an interesting account of the conversion of a physician. This narrative deserves a place in our correspondence; I shall confine my* self to abridging it in some places, and adding some reflections. # | Erdmann (such is tite name of the physician^ lately inhabited a small city in the north of Germany. He was a man of extensive attainments in science, great skill in hts profession, his benevolence to the sick and poor was highly commendable. But he was an infiael. The happiness of be. iieving in Jesus Christ crucified, the peace of the gospel, the riches which avail more than all the treasures of earth, thejoy which surpasses ail joys, were unknown to the old man's heart. He viewed religion as proper enough for the ignorant populace, a good means of government, but of no use for enlightened, men. His two great principles were : 1st. to live and let live ; 2d. to do right and fear nobody. In these few words was sum. med up his whole ay stem of theoretical and practical morality. Re decrees, the infirmities of old age ? _ came upon him. He could hardly go abroad ; he was alone, alone with his con. science; he had neither wife nor children, la this lonely condition, he vented his bad humor on his coachman, and his aged fe. male domestic. As he could not sleep, he passed almost all his nights in ringing for bis servants and scolding them. At this tirr.e, Grdmann received the visit of to aged pastor with whom he had stu. died at the university ; the pastor was a ra. tionalist, and denied all the vital doctrines of Christianity. Erdmann, who felt some un. easiness of conscience, in spite of his efforts to stifle its voice, asked him with a serious air: Do you think it possible to prove satisJ act only that the soul of man is immortal ? This question led to a conversation, the re. suit of which was that the philosophical proofs of the immortality of the soul are not conchu ve. But the Lord had designs of mercy for Erdmann. He led to the city in which the physician resided, a young pastor, full of faith, piety and charity. Qrcasion soon offered of forming acquaintance with the young pastor. But the auijects of conversation were unsuita. ble. The faithful servant of God wished I to speak plainly of death and the judgment to a man who was so near the grave; 'but whenever he attempted to turn the conver. satioQ to these serious topics, he met with strong opposition from the physician, who used the authority of age to change |he sub. jecU The pastor felt grieved, and-resolved lo teQ the old man frankly what he desired 10 converse upon. The latter, without posi > lively refuting, constantly deferred to anoth. er time these important questions; he said like Felix: A more convenient season f At last, the pastor tired of loosing his time, said to him mildly, but seriously : Dear sir, ] am very grateful for the kindness with It... mo a of m nrrpr no WUfVU jrwu liaiw ivwi'vw imw| H Kim.gv, Mw I am io this city, and I would gladly prove the aiocerity of my gratitude; but the du. tin of my ministry make myt time so pre. cious, that 1 can spend no more of it in idle conversation. If you desire sincerely to converse with me of your soul and your salvation, kt me know it, and I will be at your service instantly. The physician looked a moment at tne young man with an air of sutprise and uneasiness; then, re. covering from this emotion, he reached his hand to him saying: Well! when I call j you, please to come and see me. Three days after, the pas or saw the physician's coachman come to his door for htm. He went in mmediately and found Bcthoann in bed, though heretofore the old ( man had avoided lying down in order to conceal the progress of his sickness. After the first salutations, the sick man himself proposed the question which had often troubled him, and which gave rise to the following conversation: ?Do vou really believe, sir, inquired the physician, that the soul is immortal ? ?Doubtless, doctor, and this is little to believe ; I believe also, that you and I will be, after our death, eternally happy or eter-; nally miserable. ?Prove it to me, I ask for proofs. and you do not expect me, I suppose, to believe on the mere word of a young man like you. ?Surely, not. ' And since you want tes> timony, we will listen to the words of a Be. ing who is older that* you and me by eighteen hundred years, nay, who his existed from eternity. You have a Bible t The physician thought a moment: Yes, said be, I have one. Then, catling his old house-keeper, ho bid (U* a Rihla in a Knnlt.cnw fillprl iroi ouaivil IVA ? A/IUIV HI U vvw ?--WW with old rubbish. The book of God, which he had not read since his confirmation, was brought to him. The pastor took the Bible, aod read with deep emotion these words written upon a blank leaf of the book : *%1 give this Bible to my dear son Gottwerth, on the eighth anniversary of his birth day, and I pray the God of all grace to be pleased by the pouter of his Word and Spirit, to lead my child to the true faitht and to a holy life and a happy death. W. Erdmann." W. Erdmaun, who wrote these lines, was the grand-father of the physician : a pious and zealous pastor, a distinguished Christian poet; his name is still cherished by Christians in Germany, who sing with edificatioo hymns which he bequeathed them as a rich legacy. ?You see, said the pastor after reading to the doctor the words we have quoted, that your grandfather who wrote these lines and left his Bible to his son, died long ago in the hope of a blessed immortality ; your father followed him; they triumph now before the three* of God with the assembly of the just mad* perfect; we may join them tWMb j&cst tbifjrourdesire t I ? Yes, I confess if, replied the old man [ with emotion ; but how can I believe that those things are true ? I Then the pastor explained to him, with the Bible in his hand, the truths of revelaj tion. He laid down as the basis of his reaI soning the great fact of the resurroction of Jesus Christ, that fact which every reasonable man must admit, and which is con- I firmed by history. But, when the miracle j of the resurrection of Christ is well estab- ! fished, all the rest follows, of courso, and j the divinity of the gospel is settled upon the ! most solid foundation. j The Lord was pleased to bless these ex. planations to Erdmann, who listened with j J much attention and docility, j --Yes, he exclaimed at last,yes, I wish to believe this; I must believe it. But if there is eternal life and eternal happiness, tell me, how it is to be obtained. What must I do to make myself worthy to possess it? Thp nastnr renlied that there were only . , " ' I two ways by which to enter heaven: the law and grace. If by the law a man undertakes to make himself worthy to obtain eter. nal happiness, he must keep this law in all its sanctity, its whole extent, its spirit as weil as letter, without failing in a single point, without transgressing a sinjle time; for one j ! fault subjects man to condemnation, as well | as thousands and thousands of faults. Sal- ! vation cannot be acquired by the law, un- ! less by fulfilling this law perfectly, completely and constantly. ?if you have obeyed in this manner, the pastor added, you have a right to eternal I life. But examine yourself very carefully. | ?Oh ? no, no, said the sick man, I have not lived thus. And if things are as you tell me, all my past life is wasted, and I have no hope of eternal life. ?I am happy to see, continued the pas? tor, that you understand at last that God cannot be satisfied with mere outward acts,' with some marks of obedience, but that he demands an entire holy life. A law would no longer bo a law, if it need only to be par. tially kept. ?If you are right (and my conscience agrees with you), I am lost! For there is no?hing good in my life, and I cannot on the brink of the grave make amends! ?True; and you may add that, even ?f you were young like ire and could live without sin till death, this would not make amends for your previous sins. All the powers in the universe, cannot alter facts, nor make them otherwise. But sins are facts of which Go I is witness. ?How then can any be saved ? asked the physician in anguish; how can I, myself be saved ? I cannot offer to God, I see plainly, the good qualities which have been always commended in me; I have done nothing for God ; I have not kept his law. What can I offer him ? ?Offer him the merits and perfect righteousness of his Son ; nothing else can save you. ?I don't understand you ; explain yourself. ?Do you not know then that God has provided for and effected himself the sal. vation of sinners condemned by his law ? Here the pastor preached to the old man the good news of redemption by Jesus Christ. He explained to him the agony of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane (Luke xxii. 39 and ?)?and spoke to him of the ministry of reconciliation with God accord, ing to the declarations of St. Paul (2 Cor. v. 14?21). This doctrine of the love of God towards his lost creature penetrated the conscience of the sick man and calmed his poignant anguish, A light flashed across the darkness which had hitherto covered the soul of firdmann,; a healing balm was poured into his wounded heart. ?Ah! yes, he cried after a long and solemn silence, this is good news which you tell me! But new doubts soon rose in his mind, and he asked in an anxious tone : What can 1 do to believe on Jesus Christ, and to be assured that God will pardon my sins for | His sake ? This is the work of God, replied the pas. tor, tha* we believe in Him whom he hath sent. The change in your views, during this interview, is his work. It is not I who have made it; nor you. It the thing depended on you, you would still indulge the fatal security in which you have lived so many years. ?I believe it, but? ?Dont make the iking more difficult than it is. God offers you now his pardon, and free salvation acquired by the Savior, and he cannot deceive you. Pray that he give you the faith which accepts salvation. ?Pray ! My God, I know not how to pray; 1 never prayed ! ?You can nasily pray. A person dy. ing of hunger, or devoured with burning thirst, can ask lor bread or water, so you can cry to God from the depth of your mis. ery, and this will be praying. God does not | expect ofyou, in order to your deliverance, that you use fine phrases ; he only waits for the desire of your heart. If you wish, we will pray together. The sick man gladly accepted this offer, and (lie pastor poured out his soul before God with all the ardor of his faith and love. God did not delay to manifest his grace. The physician, who at first listened in silence to the prayer of the minister of Jesus i Christ, soon began to repeat aloud each petition as it came from his mouth, until at last his heart melted, he burst into tears, and his friend stopped to mingle his tears' with those of the old man. He took leave of him confident that God had accomplish, ed a work of grace in the heart of Erdmann. Next morning, the coachman of the phy. sician was at the door of the pastor, and he shed tears while relating the wonderful change effected in bis master. Formerly, said he, the physician had no rest the whole night; he was continually ringing, scolding and swearing. But yesterday evening he was so friendly with us ! He requested us to go quietly to bed, because he wished himself to sleep. But the housekeeper re- J mamed in the chamber by tho side of her! | master; she heard him pray and read# the I Bible aloud; and at last ho slept quietly, i I This morning he seemed very happy, and I Ins first order was to send me for you, sir. The minister of Christ found the sick man in a good frame of mind, believing in his salvation, but imagining that he did not believe, because he was still ignorant, or in doubt respecting some important religious truths. Erdmann interrogated the pastor on all subjects, and this last replied by quo* ting pussages of Scripture. He added some verses of psalms, and the old man re* solved to learn by heart the psalms which strjek him most, that he might repeat them to himself during the silence of the long nights. He spent also a great part of his time in searching the Scriptures, either reading them himself or asking explanations of the servant of the Word of God. He at? tained at last the sweet assurance of this re. conciliation with God by the perfect merits of the Savior, and from that time his first days were passed in praise and thanksgiving. An Appeal to Females* BY MBS. 8IGOUBNEY. ? We are verily guilty concerning our brother." When to expunge a foul blot from na. fional character, the great, the wise, and be. nevolent, combine their energies, it becomes not those of humble name, or obscure station, to remain indifferent. The weaker sex, who depend for safety and protection on others, have immense interest at stake, in the morality and purity of the community. Their plea of want of power can scarcely be admitted as a fair release from tespon. sibility, since the moralists, and even politicians, of our own day, have asserted that no evil can obtain great predominance in the community without the permission of fe. males. The cause of temperance, which has already wrought such wonders, and has still a giant's work to perform claims their earnest co-operation. Surely they whose duty and facilities are ivolved in the domestic and maternal relations, should be peculiarly and painfully watchful against every approach1 of a sin which desecrates home's hallowed sanctuary. We do not, of course, address those who have given their hand to the destroyer? who, in the strong language of inspiration, have'1 made a covenant with the grave,and with hell are at agreement." We are sensible that scarcely any agent, save the voice of Him who raiseth the dead, is available to break their bondage. But they who, with regard to this insidious poison, literally obey the present" touch not, taste nor, handle not," and suppose themselves absolved from all other effort?are they therefore ab. solved. My sisters, if we assent to the proposition that not to prevent sin, when in ou power to do so, is as blamable as to have aided in its perpetuation, are wo justified in supi[ienes9, while such multitudes are goI ing down to the grave, with this leprosy in | their skirts ai:d in their souls ? Do we", to the teaching of example, add the whole weight of that influence which the courtesy of an enlightened age, and the condescension of the religion of Jesus have in thise latter days accorded us ? If we are conscious of remissness, let the words of the poet ad monish us? ? Lo! our not doing is set down, Among our darkest deeds." Lpj tho word of inspiraiiOO counsel US tO I avoid the anguish with which the erring sons of Jacob exclaimed, M We are verily guilty concerning our brother." Intemperance by the fireside?at the household board?in the nursery?have we nothing to do ? We whose affections have taken roots by that fireside?whose pro. vince it is to make that household board subservient to health and heavenly gratitude ?to whom that nursery is the garner of the fondest hopes for time and for etornity; ?shall we perceive, amid those sacred haunts, the footstep of the enemy, and slum. J ber 7 Wife !?who by a solemn vow before men and angels, has entered into a union which death can sever, has it been your fate to see the vice of intemperance casting a deadly shadow over a heart in which, next to heaven, was your confidence ? And day by day, and hour after hour, as you watch* ed its fearful ravage, have you been vigilant to upbraid, not to argue reproachfully, but to repress your own to sorrows to ren. der.home desirable, to reawaken those af. fections which are the guardians of purity and peace 7 Above all, were your suppli. cations uoceasing to Him who11 turneth the heart of man as the rivers of waters are turned 7" If so, though the harvest of your labors may have perished?though the disruption of your hopes nothing earthly can supply??still you will have escaped that deeper torture of reflecting that you are " verily guilty concerning" t im who was once your more than brother?and your next to God." Mother!?whose duties are laid deeper than any vow of the lips, even in the immuta. ble strength of a love that canno! swerve, have you counselled your offspring in this matter," rising up early, and late taking rest 7"?Among those habits which modify, character, did you inoculate the control of the anicnal appetites?the superiority of happiness derived from intellect and virtue, to the fl< eting pleasures of sense-?the no. bleness of subjugating the flesh to the spirit? Did you oppose with your frown, with the force of your authority, the first aberation from these principles 7 Did you fully set before them the infirmity of their nature, the dangers that surround them, the necess* ity that they should seek help from God 7 At dawn, and at noonday, and in the hush of midnight, wa9 there a lifting up of your heart, that they might be temperate in all things 7" Yet, should it bo your lot to be. hold one whom you had nurtured, blot theinheritance of his ancestors, and sink into the drunkard's grave. God forbid that you stand before his tribunal, and say, ((i am venally guilty concerning"?whom ??not the brother, whose habits you might not have been able to influence,?not 4fc9 h'ts?] I band, whom it was not your province ot control,?but the child, whom you brought into life, and loved more than life,?the child, for the first ponciled lines upon whose soul you are accountable,?because it was entrusted to you as soft and unsullied wax, that you might stamp it with trie seal ofheavtn. It is a pleasing consideration thatpersous who seems to be wide apart in regard to many speculative points, can often harmonize in their devotional exercises. This fact undoubtedly evinces, that Christians frequently differ more from each other in appearauco, than in reality : for they who can sincerely and cordially unite in the same spiritual songs, must be of one heart and one mind in all that constitutes the essence of true religion.?Dr. Alexander. The whole of a Christian's life is very properly compared to a warfare. The roost eminent Christians are the best soldiers, endued wiih the greatest degree of Christian courage.?Dev. Free' Edwards. If any severe affliction hath surprised you, cast one upon the hand that sent it, and the other upon the sin that brought it; if you will thankfully receive the mr-sssage, hethnt sent it may discharge the messenger.
