Kcst, X. C, March 31, 1856. Liquor in the Church. The Methodist Church is a total ab stinence temperance society. Her Gen eral ltulcs forbid "drinking spirituous liquors, unless in cases of necessity." The word necessity, vre fear, has by many been interpreted to allow too ereat a latitude of meaning. As our ; discipline certainly meant not to limit or abrogate, or in any wise interfere with the teachings of Holy Scripture. but only to emphasize and call atten-j tion to those portions which are 01 most common application ; we must evident,; ly give the JNew Testament construc tion to this word necessity. When we do so, we shall find many professed Methodists and Christians livinsr in daily violation of God's law, and giv- j mg the be to their profession. What is a case of necessity ? Paul defines it in his letter to Timothy ; "Take a little wine for thy stomach's sake." Mark, if you please, not only the cautious advice of Paul, but the evi dent scruples of his son in the Gos pel. Timothy was in failing health,' yet such was his view of the heinous sin of needless indulgence in the use of wine, that he refrained to use it even for sickness. Paul thought the matter one worthy of apostolic advice, to be left on record for the Church in coming ages. He admits that in a case of sickness Timothy might use wine, a small quantity. lie prescribes it as a physician to a sick patient ; and remem ber, he prescribes not whiskey, brandy, nor Scheidam Schnapps, but wine, the pure juice of the grape. The whole transaction is evidently significant, that the practice of using wine, as a beverage, was regarded with disfavor in apostolic times It also shows that a case of necessity is a case of real ill health, to be prescribed for by a phy sician. It shows too, that Timothy did not think it proper to be a judge in his own case, as to the propriety of using even the pure wines of his country. It is important that we bear in mnid the principle which governed Timothy, of not prescribing wine for himself, not making out his own case of ne cessity, but only using wine at the ur gent instance of Paul, his physician. It is in the forgetfulness of this all the mischief of Church dram-drinkimg arises. An individual fancies himself ill, has wet feet, or a pain in the side, ! or a cold, or tooth-ache, cr toe-ache, j or a "tickling tenaation towehorr" or j pf:tn afraid of having a chill, or dreads the climate or the water, or anythii.g else you please to imagine in the cita- ! logue of phantasnjaria that Hit across ' the imagination of one who, "does not : object to an occasional dram to do hirn good," and forthwith prescribes for ', himself the due amount of whiskey' or j brandy or Scheidam Schnapps. If a j friend a brother in the Church ! hap- ' pens to be present it is presumed j that by some strange sympathetic in-; fluonce, he, too, is affected by a similar ; sudden stroke of some one of the di j eases aforesaid, and joins in just a lit- , tie taste of the fluid to "do hirn good too," in this sudden and urgent cane of ntcentity ! And all fhis in (Jhrhtian j families, and among Christian men ! j Another result of this practice of 1 eelf-prescription is, that the liquor hot-; tie is taken home, and kept constantly j in a corner of the closet, as a family medicine ! This is done upon the firm belief that daily sickness, in many cases, three times a day, will occur in the family. There it stands, that big, ugly, black bottle, in one select corner of the cupboard ; and to this sanctum sanctorum the head of the family is seen to go as often as did David to his window of nraver. oftener Tif-rbans. to 1 1 11 get "something to do him good." The I very fact that the bottle is so handy, ! somehow causes that the sick fit .should j come on and present "a case of neces-j sity" just as he feels iuclined to take i a little- Well, the head of the family j twigs the bottle, and sometimes his I :e. i ij. 1 a.. ,i.i,i x wne iwigs, 11, anu jne eiuessi son ivwgs it, and the girls take a little toddy, and the boys take a little egg-nog, and the baby must have just a half tea-spoonful to "sthay its little tommock," and so Mr. Scheidam Schnapps becomes the tutelary deity of the household, and sits in his shrine of the closet cor ner, grinning death and ruin upon the whole family, from father down to baby in the cradle. Another result of this practice is, that when a good Christian brother is out from home, on a journey, in the city, or on board the steamboat, the fear of a sudden chill, a little exposure, or apprehension of the unhealthiness of the water, creates a case of self-determined necessity, and then he steps aside with a confidential whisper to a friend, a prodigious long face, whining worse than any sick baby, and solemn ly asserts, that although he does'nt be lieve in the general practice of using ardent spirits, yet he deems it proper on the present occasion to fortify his delicate system against the dangers of the water and climate, as there is no telling ivhat might happen. That last however, is one truth, there is no tell ing what may happen before tight, for it sometimes happens that such an one with all his Christian professions goes to bed in such a state, that he cannot get a chance to blow out the candle, "it keeps a whirlin' round the room so !" All this is the result of the self-prescribing principle of administering GIN as a medicine. The individual takes the responsibility of making out his own case of necessity and the result is, in plain words, real, regular bona-fide. Dram-drinking in the Church of Christ ! !

Religious Liberty in Turkey. The 19th of February was a memo rable day in Constantinople. The im perial firman, "granting equal rights to all the subjects of the Sultan," was then read in the great Council Hall, and the ceremony is thus described by a correspondent of the London "Times :" There were present all the members of the Council of State and of the Tanzimat, all the other high functiona ries of the Porte, the Sheik-ul-Islam, the patriarchs, archbishops nd bishops of the different religious communities, and a good number of the most promi nent men among the Mussulman popu lation of Constantinople. It would have formed an interesting study for a physiognomist, this assembly, compos-, ed of the most prominent men of Tur key. I dont think it would have been found inferior to any other similar as sembly, as regards intellectual coun tenances. The most prominent feature was earnestness. Notwithstanding the contact with Europe, and the history of so many deposed and assassinated sul tans, the person of the latter is still held in religious veneration. Even the rather turbulently disposed crowd out side became silent when' the firman signed by the sultan's own hand was taken out. Everybody seemed to he penetrated with the solemnity of the moment. The firman was read by Hahat Ef fendi, the Mektubji or chief of the Chancellerie of the grand vizier. When the reading was over the Sheik-ul-Islam, Arif Effendi, said a prayer appropriate to the occasion, after which both he and the grand vizer held a kind of levee. The latter, besides, made an address to those present, in which he touched upon the most prominent points contained in the firman. When the whole ceremony was over, printed copies of the firman, in the original Turkish,were distributed among the crowd. The translation into aU the other languages of the empire is likewise ordered, and when it is finish ed it will be printed and sent into the provinces, to be read and distributed there. The "Times" says, the firroari is long, but every sentence 13 a revolution not so much a law, as a series of de clarations on which laws will be foun ded. The future which it foreshadows is said to be one of almost democratic equality, and that whatever may be it? results, the event will remain one of the most interesting hi the history of mankind. "That religious freedom should have been proclaimed for the first time to the followers of Churches persecuted loth by emperors and sul tans, that material progress should be in store for religions almost forgotten by the busy enterprise of the West, are facts which must call for the at tention of all, even amid the most earn est discussion of their own affairs. It is like a vision of dry bones called to life, or the disinterment of a city hid den for ages." Christian Advocate and Journal. A Soft Pillow. Whitfield and a ! pious companion were much annoyed one night, at a public house, by a set of gamblers in the room adjoining wlioru tLoy tlc-pt. Their ro.y clamor and horrid blasphemy so excited White field's abhorrence and pious sympathy, that he could not rest. "I will go in to them, and reprove their wickedness," he said. His com panion remonstrated in vain. Hg went. His words of reproof fell apparently powerless upon them. Returning, he laid down to sleep. His companion asked him rather abruptly : "What did you gain by it ?" "A soft pillow," he said, patiently, and soon fell asleep. Yes, "a soft pillow" is the reward of fidelity the companion of a clear conscience. It is a sufficient remuner ation for doing right, in the absence of all other reward. And none know j more truly the value of a soft pillow, I than those parents, whose anxiety for . wayward children is enhanced by a i consciousness of neglect. Those who faithfully rebuke and, and properly re strain them by their Christian deport ment and religious counsels, can sleep quietly in the day of trial. Parents ! do your duty now, in the fear of God, in obedience to this law, at every sacrifice ; and when old age comes on, you may lay uow-n upon a soft pillow, assured of His favor who has said, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." dent we had from a friend who knows the party : Deacon Comstock, of Hart ford, Connecticut, is well known as be ing provided with an enormous handle to his countenance, in shape of a huge nose, in fact, it is remarkable for its great length. On a late occasion, when taking up a collection in the church to which the deacon belongs, as he passed through the congregation every person to whom he presented the bag seemed to be possessed by a sud den and uncontrollable desire to laugh. The deacon did not know what to make of it. He had often passed round be fore, but no such effects as these had he ever before witnessed. The deacon was fairly puzzled. The secret, however, leaked out. He had been afflicted for a day or two with a slight sore on his nasal appendage, and had placed a small piece of sticking plaster over it. During the morning of the day refer red to, the plaster had dropped off, and the deacon seeing it, as he supposed, on the floor, picked it up and stuck it j on again. iut alas for men who some times make unfortunate mistakes, he picked up instead of it, one of those little round pieces of paper which the j manufactures of spool cotton paste on j the end 01 every spool, and which reads as follows ; "Warrentc-d to hold out 200 yards." Such a sign on such a nose, was enough to upset the gravi ty of even a puritan congregation, and the laughing we think justifiable. Ex. The Deacon and the Irishman. Tinder this head w find th follon-Intr amusing story goiug the rounds : 0 A few months ago, as Deacon Ingalls, of Swampscott, It. I was traveling thro' the western part of the State of New York, he fell in with an Irishman who had lately arrived in this country, and who was in quest of a brother who came before him and settled in some of the dig gins in that vicinity. Pat was a strong, athletic man, and a true Catholic, and had never seen the in terior of a Protestant Church. It was a pleasant Sabbath morning that brother Ingalls met Pat, who inquired the road to the nearest Church. Ingalls was a good and pious man. lie j told Pat he was going to church himself, and invited his new-made acquaintance to keep him company thither, (his place of destination being a small Methodist meet ing house near by.) There was a great revival there at the time, and one of the deacons, (who by the way, was very small in. stature,) invited brother Ingalls to take a seat in his pew. He accepted the invi tation and walked in, followed by Pat, who looked in vain to find the altar, etc. After he was seated, he turned to brother Ingalls, and in a whisper, which could be heard all around inquired ' "Sure an' isn't this a hiritic Church ?" "Hush," said Ingalls. "If you speak a word they will put you out." "Divil a word will I spak, at all, at all," replied Pat." The meeting was opened by prayer by the pastor. Pat was eyeing him very close ly, when an old gentleman, who was stand in the pew directly in front of Pat, shout ed : "glory." "Hist-s-t ye clear divil," rejoined Pat, with his loud whisper, which was plainly heard by the minister, "be dacent, and don't make a blackguard of yourself."

Ltch j erson, who died at his mother-in-law's res I idence, six miles from Hot .'-'prhigs. He I was a native of North Carolina, and aged j twenty-eight years. He had been licen , sed to preach but a few years, which he j spent in the local relation. The cau-e of I his Master was dear to him, and his heart longed for the Itinerant ranks. His walk and conversation before the world was that ! of a Christian, and a Chri.-.tian minister. Death to him had no .stincr, and the grave ; no victory. He was borne above all doubts : and fears, and as he bade us farewell, he i spoke happily of glory, which he doubled ; not was his inheritance forever and ever. ' Mav Cod bless in time and save in eterni- ty, his bereaved wife and child. O that 'our last end may be like his. J. E. C.u.nv.-i.r.n. I PROSPECTUS.
