' Thitf exhortation of, the apostle ought, in these day, to. b: strenuously insisted "upon. There is a great ind growing disposition to regard the ministry in the same light with the x other prbfes ions of fife to regulate a nd judge of a manv8 en- trance upon; the sacred fBce, and his conduct in "it, by the maxims which obtain, in -the ordinary . business of the world and to forget or dispise the : authority, which, aside ; from the personal influi . ence of. him-who fills it, pertains to. the office it . self.. We do not now allude to those enemies of . the gospel, who, not baring grasp , of mind suffi : cient to conceive of a higher motive than sordid selfishness, regard all preachers as mercenary : knaves, and their disciples as their dupes. The , world always has been Aill; cfi such.jjvJa the in . fancy of the church, they called the abstenious John a madman, and railed at the blessed Saviour ; as a wine-bidder and a glutton ; . and with the same Zeal and inconsistency they still bate and t slander the professors and preachers of , godliness . It was not to such that Paul addressed the exhor tation. "Let a man so account of ! us as i of the . ministers of Christ. ; He spoke to professors if ; religion and opon them the proper estimation of ministers is a subject which in our day needs to be zealously nrged. !. People are too apt to look . opon the preacher as the paid savant of a congregation; employed to " mimster to ihr personal grauficatjoo ; . and there fore bound not only to preach, but to live in the ; precise way which may be most agreeable to thsm. Tbey would make bim subject to the - whims -of every self-appointed ; prophet in 'Israel, and have him shape bis course by maxims as foreign: tor the word of God, as the laws of the Medea and. Pex- shns.. They would come into the minister's hogse, which ought to be to him, as well as to other men, Ait case, and. regulate the; cares, the enjoyments 't and the economy of the family circle. . Nay more, , thev assume that the disciple it greater llian the teacher, and would dictate to the - ambassador of . Qirist bow and what he must preach, to them. And while they are thus exercising an episcopa cy over the' minister's character and deportment, thev entirely lose sight.of the fact, that he is di- jTioeiy autttorised to rule the hoes jliold of faith, '.nnd expound to them the oracles -of: God J and claims a support from tlie church, not as the :gift " . ! of a stinted charity nof as the price of his labors but as the right of those whom the Master has declared shall flive by the gospel One reason why people exercise such harsh and unchaniable judgment with regard to ministers is,4 they forget that they are men of like passions with themselves; 7 i that, the sanctity of their of fice gives them no exemption .from , the common 'infirmities and wants of ouf nature and ought not to exclude them from any of its privileges. We would not take one iota from the rigor of that law bv which the preachel V life should; be gov- " " erned t (ot we are well aware that hs conduct 'often preaches more effectually than his sermons.

But we believe the great istry is not held in more is io be found in the conu : son why; the min "priate cslination, f ministers iliem- Hves. We do not no .f r "to thos melan choly ca'VprofligaeyVrtbe": "professed -"niioiah ters of Christj.which have been, alas I o freqtient of late, and which have given' the enemies of the cross such a pretext to blaspheme. Neither do we allude to those, (if such (there'aiOVwb'ose:ea gem ess after "the loaves and fishes," w iety to keep i'pace withTthe lollies of fashionable life, or: whose. indolence in the discharge of their official duty,-gives the world a pretext to rail at what it falsely terins;an hireling clergy." t But we allude to the obvious fact, that ministers them selves do not set a good example in this matter. They do not account of each other as of the min isters of Christ. They do not esteem and love one another, ns' they ought. There are among them uen vy ings, strifes, and divisions." Eccle siastical courts have become notorious for a bitter ness of spirit and a disregard to the courtesies of I debater Ine alienations, jealousies, and petty contentions among ministers.' even in the same branch of the church, which of late years have been so frequent, have done much, to - destroy the influence of the ministrymuch to grieve away ihe spirit of God from the churches, and leave his people in a state of coldness and spiritual death. When ministers suspect, . and contemn each other ; when,1 to gratify their arersions, or their "elective affinities,' they trample not only upon the feelings of their brethren, but upon the au thority of tha church, as exercised by her courts- how can they expect the people, to whom they are teachers and patterns, to account of them as of the ministers of Christ And then, too, the "policy which , is , too often employed by them, to extend their influence and upbuild the kingdom of Christ, is of that worldly kind, which must necessarily reduce the ministry, in the estimation of the people, to a level with other profeionsi I The cunning and skill , of; a Talleyrand may be successful, and even commen dable, in the kingdoms of this world ; but they are altogether but of place Jnthe kingdom ofl God. v The secret caucusing, by which the public action of ecclesiastical bodies is predetermined the management by which, in too many instances, the charities of the church are provided for, and ihe'offices of the church distributed, may seem to meet temporary expediencies ; but in the long run, can be productive of nothing but evil. . : But this article is already too long, and we therefore reserve the subject of ministerial policy for a future number. v Calvin. - ; 1I1E CHIEF MOURNER AT NAIN- , .
