God speed ns on oor way! Central Truths of Chrtatiaaity. •, There are three principle* which ftmn its esse: oee; the first we may can the formal principle, hecanae it is the means by whirh the system forms and con struct* itself; the sec ond we may tall the material prin ciple, because it is the very doctrine which coast)tates the religious sys tem ; the third I would rail the par tonal or moral principle, because it cunerms the application of Christian ily to the sonl of each individual. 1 will explain the formal principle of Christianity in three works: 1. The word of Qad, aalp. That is to my, that tbe Christina receives the knowledge of the truth, only from the word of God, and admits no other eoaroe of religion* knowledge. Tbe material principle of Christian ity, I will also as briefly explain: 2. The /rare of Chriat, only. That is to say, that the Christian receives the )«osse*sioii of salvation, only by tbe grace of Christ, Bad re cognizee no other meritorious cause for tbe eternal. The pcrtomal principle of Christi anity is explained iu tbe simplest terms: 3. The work of the Spirit, only. That is to say, there must be in every sacred soul a moral and indi vidual work of regeneration, wrought by the Spirit of God, and not by a simple junction to the Church, and the magical influence of certain cere monies Recall constantly to your minds three three simple truths: The word of Ood, only; (to fewer of Christ, naif; (to wort of the Spirit, owl); aud they will be traly a lamp to yoar fit* aad a Uyht to year path. These are the three great watch lights which the Holy Spirit has raised in the Church; their light ought to spread from one end of the world to the other. While these shine, the Church walks in tbe light; as soon as tbeee three lights are extinguished, or only obscured, dark ness, like that of Egypt, is spread upon Christianity.—Merle If Aabipne. Xked AND Want.—The distinc tion between these two words was well illnstmled by a member of the Society of Friends under the follow ing ciroauifttances: A Universalist preacher, having occupied a school house in the coun try oa Sabbath for tbe purpose of promulgating his views, gave notice, at the ctoae of the service, that two weeks from that day he would preach again in tbe same place, in the after noon, by leave of Providenee and the trustees. A Quaker roae and re sponded to this announcement, on this arise: “Fftend, if what thee has this day told ua is true, we shall not need thee two weeks from this day, aud if what thee Uas told us is not true, we do not icaat thee at any time.”
