to the whole connection came forward and tender
v cd his services to the Publishing Association if
they wouid move the Book Concern to Philadel
phia. This was at first opposed by some, but
afterward agreed to by all. Brother Freese is a
man who is pecuniarily above dependence. He
therefore proffered to perform all the labor gratui
tously for four years. To carry on the business
on a much larger scale, and establish ageuoies in
different parts of the country. He now has nine
sub-agents, all of whom are laboring without any
pecuniary reward. All their labor is performed
gratuitously. This enables them to undersell the
regular book sellers, and still make a handsome
profit for the Book Concern. What is now need
ing is a united effort on the part of our people to
mako this thing succeed admirably. But still
many of our members and even many Ministers
seem to feel no interest in the matter. Surely
such have never looked at the subject ijjjtits pro
per light. Some ministers suppose tljhat if they
sell books in their congregations and draw money
from the pockets of their members, that it will
diminish the offerings which would otherwise be
tendered to them. This however is a very great
mistake. The more books which we circulate
among our people, and the more intelligent they
become, the better they will support their minis
ters. This thing has been fairly tested By almost
all denominations. No reading intelligent congre
gation will allow a-minister to labor among them
for nought. They will pay him for his services,
and reward him for his labors of love. 1 Let any
minister try tbe experiment and then tell us if we
are not right.
We think every member of the Christian Church
should by all means patronise their own Book
Concern. A few reasons for this opinion >ve will
give in a future number. w. b. w.
The Graham Institute.
Having shown in previous numbers of the Sun
the great advantages of this institution, and its
vast; importance to us as a denomination ; we trust
all now see the necessity of a united effort to carry
on the school to a successful end. Only let there
be a long continued struggle on the part of its
friends, a strong effort and a “ pull all together,”
and the enterprise must succeed. But on the con
trary, should sectional jealousies arise ana be cul
tivated, to dust and destruction goes the whole
enterprise. Should friends stand aloof and refuse
to patronise it; it will gradually sicken and die.
Should the board of Trustees continue as negli
gent as formerly the entcrpiise will be crippled
_ and murdered. Should the Principal display no
more energy, perseverance and go-ahead *»tiveness
than heretofore, it will stand forth a giant in ap
pearance and name, but powerless in its influence.
But we apprehend no such results. We are not
yet prepared to write the word failure. We
must rise above sectional and local j'ealousies if
they ever existed. Every sectional and local feel
ing should be sacrificed upon the altar of our no
ble and glorious principles. Every friend of our
cause should rush to the rescue and save the ship
from the breakers power.' The Trustees must and
will act. We know most of them, they are not
the men to look back, onward is their watchword
in other things. It must be so in this. And our
good brother Holt, God bless thfe man, we learn
is already like a sleeping Sampson aroused, and
will devote all his powers of body and mind to
bujld up the school. He designs we learn, spend
ing his approaching vacation in canvassing his
own Conference for the benefit of the school.
Once fairly aroused, we predict for him a brilliant
success. In the goodness of his nature he has
allowed the enemies of the school to bandage his
eyes and begin to throw the cord around his body.
But now the spell is broken his influence will be
exerted in the right cause. After all we shall
soon find him “ right side up.”
Brother Wra. H. Eley, who has suffered so se
verely from an attack of rheumatism, as to pre
vent his doing much for the school, is now gradu
ally improving, and we hope that God in His
Providence will so order things that he may soon
be physically able to resume his labors. Should
his health be restored, he will be an ornament to
the Institution and a blessing to the whole Church.
Elder J. A.. Turner has accepted the Agency
**fe»r The School and has entored on his labors with
an earnestness and ah energy which we hope will
give success. He has recently passed through
the Eastern Virginia Conference, and though his
success has not equalled his wishes, yot-if- lie had
allowed himself more time, and have mingled
more with the people, much more would have
been done. We hope he will not slacken his hand
or abate his energy until he has traversed our
whole denominational field, and entiroly relieved
the Institute from debt. Then and not until then,
shall we be willing to see him return to his origin
al field of labor in the ministry.
A few more thoughts and our pen shall cease
for the present. We are not well acquainted with
circumstances about Graham, but if sectarians
in that section are unlike sectarians in other sec
tions, our friends may keep a sharp look out, or
their influence will be felt against the school.
Sometimes it is more prudent to oppose a thing
indirectly. We never mind an open candid foe,
but a roundabout bush fightipg opponent, we al
ways avoid. Not all of them who are connected
with the sects will oppose us. Far from it. But
there will always be found in every community,
somo little soula who are envious and jealous and
cultivate smelt feelings until they cannot see be
' ■ ~~f~~-- -.—; -
yond their own mighty selves. We trustmo such
are to be found in the upper county, but it would
bo well to stand on our watch tower and be ready
to receive their opposition when it comes. .Though
may God grant it may never come.
And now brethren, friends of the Graham In
stitute. Lovers of education, advancement and
improvement. Friends to our principles. Ad
mirers <ff freedom, liberty, union and l.jve, shall
we hear from you? Shall our appeal to you be
in vain? Shall our efforts all fail? Shall our
hopes be blasted? Shall our prospects wane?
Ah methinks I hear the sound coming up from
the sea shore to the mountains no! no!! NO!!!
We can, we will succeed. Now let us make one
long strong overpowering and united effort togeth
er, and victory will surely perch on our banner.
Success will crown our mighty effort and unpar
alleled prosperity will attend us. w. b. w.

An Appeal from, the Closet, in Be
half of the Church.
ACCOMPANIED’ WITH A HE ART-PRAYER FOR THE CON
VERSION OF SINNERS.
I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel
of God.—Acts 20, 27.
To the Brethren' of the “ Bethlehem Methodist
Protestant Church,’' the Members of the Con
gregation, and friends of the Cause of Christ,
and the unconverted.
Filled with longing for the prosperity of Zion,
and conscious of great and increasing desire for
the salvation of immortal souls, and trusting in
God to sanctify and strengthen every effort made
to advance the kingdom of our adorable Redeemer,
we present to you, as from our heart, this appeal.
And though we send it amongst you all, with,
trembling, yet our prayer to the Great head of the
Church is, that it may be blessed and sanctified
to pur present and eternal welfare. Receive it,
as the impress of a brother’s heart, and cherish it
as a token of a brother’s regard.
1. To the Church. Brethren Ufow should
our hearts swell with gratitude to. Almighty God,
for the great exhibition of His goodness and pow
er in our midst. We have great cause to be glad
and rejoice in the God of our salvation. Though we
are few, yet the Lord of Hosts is with us—though
we are weak, yet the Almighty One is our refuge
and defence. We have a work to do 1 We are
engaged in a cause, which demands all our ener
gies, in oraer success, vve are engageu in a
warfare against principalities and powers, The
promise of glorious victof'y is unto us, if we war a
good warfare. We are members of the Church
and kingdom of Christ—the friends of Immanuel
— soldiers for Jesus! The enemies of Christ, the
despisers of the cross—the powers of sin—the
agencies of Satan, are at work, using all possible
might and cunning device to oppose the march of
the sacramental host of God’s elect, and to frus
trate ^ie designs of Heaven, and to entangle
nnd destroy for ever the undying interests of those
for whom the Son of God shed his own most pre
cious blood, on the mournful summit of Calvary.
Brethren! let us take unto ourselves the whole
armor of God. For we wrestle not aga'nst flesh
and blood, but against principalities, against pow
ers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against-spiritual wickedness in high places.
Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with
truth, and having on the breastplate of righteous
ness, and your feet, shod with the preparation of
thc Gbspel of Peace: above all, taking the shield
of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all
the fiery darts of the wicked. And tike the hel
met of salvation and the sword of the spirit,
which is the word of God. Stand upon your
watch tower ; be prepared with all the might of
prayer and faith, to combat the wicked One, and
and through Christ you shall overcome.
Brethren! see! souls in our midst are perishing
from day to day. They are going down to the
grave, and to the judgment bar of God, heedless
of the infinite concerns of their souls. Christ has
died to ransom them! He arose from the grave
^at he might be a triumphant Saviour. He as
cended to the right hand of the Majesty of the
uniyeme, that he might be a great Mediator, am
.ever-prevailing. Intercessor! He died to savi
those in our midst—he rose to conquer all fo
them, and to open the gates of glory to them
which before had been closed against them. Hi
is now intarceding with his Father for them
What shall we do ? Would God we could fee
deeply our responsibility, and act promptly in tin
discharge thereof. Some of you haveyfre talents
some of you two, some of you one. You thai
have five, gain other five; you that have two
gain other two ; you that have one, burg it not
0 ! BURY IT NOT ! gain another one ! Th<
master of the kingdom will come, and will cal
for an account of stewardship! Remember the
Pargble. Soon the warfare will be ended. Soor
the struggle will be past. And in the great day ol
the Lord, Heaven will recompenco our toil, by
the full fruition of everlasting joys. There, with
those whom we hare been instrumental in saving
from death, will we rejoice, for ever, and sing the
name and the praise of Him who loved us and
gave himself for us.
2. To The Unconverted. Fellow Travellers
to the bar of God ! stop ! stop and think. Re
flect upon the shortness of time, the certinty of
death and judgment, it is not all of death to die !
Whether our life be long or short, it completes
the preparation for an eternal state ! The prepara
tion we make here on earth, is final and absolute.
Time is the court or chamber, through which we
all pass to the boundlesness of eternity, and once
pass theecourt or chamber, we jkiss for ever\
the gates once closed behind us, are never re open
ed to us! Awful reflection! solemn thought!
My uuconvorted father, mother, sister or brother
for by these endearing names will I address you
—are you prepared to die? No! methinks I
hear you answer—No! Reflect! Think of the
love of Christ! think of Calvary think of your sin!
think of your danger! Why will ye die ? The
paths of sin cannot lead you to pleasure’s foun
tain ; the follies of this world only give you pain,
“Repent,” the voice celestial cries! “Repent,”
says the word of God. "Repent,” says the
Church ! “Repent,” says the tears of vour friends!
“Repent,” says this heart, which yearns for your
salvation. Life is hastening away. Its sands are
running out. Its stream is rapidly ebbing.
“ Great God ! on what a slender thread
Hang everlasting things. -■
The eternal state of all the dead,
Upon life’sfeeble strings.”
We love you—therefore will we plead with you
and plead with God for you. Come to the house
of the Lord. Come to the mercy seat. Come to
the foot of the cross.
May the Lord bless you, and save you with his
great salvation, is the prayer of
Your sincere friend and servant in Christ,
Henry D. Moore.
From the Herald of Gospel Liberty.
Mb. Editor :—My long experience and the
many changes which have occurred in the Chris
tian connection since my association with that body,
has promoted me to make the following remarks
in relation to ministers and churches.
Our ministers, to a great extent, have been con
nected with and have come out from other socie
ties. Hence they have been more or less tinctur
ed with the customs and usages of those from
whom they came out. This may account for the
many changes in the ministry ; and why so many
have gone out from us. And one reason why
they„,have done so is because they were not fully
in sentiment with us. And indeed we have been
too slow to communicate our views, and too lax
in the examination of those who have united with
us. I hope we shall be more careful in future
on both sides ; both ministers and Conferences,.
Ministers .should never identify themselves with
a people with whom they are not thoroughly ac
quainted. And it is to be feared that even among
those who are agreed in the main there is a lack
of confidence in’ each‘other to effect that union,
fellowship and concert of action which should ever
characterize the ministers of Christ. We should
guard against throwing out any incoherent .expres
sions, circulating unfavorable reports, or any way
speaking diminutively of a brother. In this way
we operate against ourselves and the cause of
Christ. On the other hand we should endeavor
to cultivate a spirit of love and union throughout
the whole brotherhood; and esteem others better
than ourselves. Let every one improve the gift
which God has graciously bestowed upon him
with all the right kind of knowledge he can com
mand. No- one should envy others who are before
them in eminence, talent or condition. But all
should move on harmoniously, having the cause
of. God and the confirmation, stability and prosper
ity of all the churches at heart. For this we need
a well informed, pious, holy, devoted ministry.
Every Christian should pray that God would raise
up and send faithful laborers into the harvest. In
order for our ministers and churches to prosper
they must consecrate themselves with all they
have to God andjhis cause.
Ministers should not seek more after the fleece
than the flock nor seek for,,the fattest place. Opr
weak and feeble churches must be cared for.
Hence there must be some sacrifice on the part of
ministers as well as churches. A time serving
minister and a covetous church can never prosper.
And as no church can long prosper without a
stated ministry, every church should secure the
labors of some one qualified of God and man to ad
minister the ordinances of God’s house, who should
| be well sustained in his work. -If one church is
j not able to do this, then let too or [three urtfTe for
this purpose ; as no church can expect to prosper
I unless they are willing to support the right kind of
| preaching such as God in his providence has seen
I fit to bestow.
Churches should not be difficult and. fickle
minded, aspiring after great and learned gifts.
Nothing is more destructive to churches than fre
quent changes in the ministry. It is apt to cause
divisions in the church and produce unpleasant
feeling's. A minister comes in to preach a few
times whose gift takes admirably well with some
j few individuals. -The church think proper to se
cure his labors to the exclusion of the former
j preacher. Whereas perhaps he would not suc
ceed any better in a long run than the former.
Such a course is calculated to ruin any church
On the other hand no church should be required
to sustain a minister who is not, competent for the
work, who is little or no benefit to tbe-church or
community. In such a case a cliange is very im
portant. But ministers should be looked upon as
we look upon other men as.being fajlible and lia
, ble to err. Sail when a chuich has received th<
■ labors of a pious minister with ordinary gifts q,nt
graces \vko is exerting a good influence, they hat
, better be ponlent than to exchange him for ai
uncertainty. Men of great erudition and shinim
| talents doynot al ways effect the greatest good ii
, our chur/hcs. And in fact we have but ven
few suco men among us at present. Therefon
our churches should endeavor to be satisfied witl
such^ifts as they hare ; until the time come;
wlie/v they may expect greater. Let the minis
tersI and churches be united and draw togethei
systematically in the use of such means as they
have, and God will give the increase. *

West Bbseawen, April 23d, 1852.
A New Order of Ministers.
The Pope of Rome has, doubtless, a great deal
of power, and it is just as easy for him to change
tho laws of the church, as it is to keep those laws
which have long been established. It is wrong
for meat to be eaten on certain days, tailed “ Fast
days ” but it is a very easy thing, we sometimes
find, for either the Pope or his deputies to dispense
with the law prohibiting meat, and allow it to be
eaten.
The clergy or priesthood of the Church of Rome
are not allowed to have wives. But it would seem
from the following statement of an English paper,
that a new order of preachers is to be instituted
by the accommodating Pope, so that the English
clergy who go over to the " Mother Church,” can
hg^feept in orders, and yet retain their wives.
“ Tlie Rev. H. Wil!)erforce, the ex vicar of East
Farleigh, who seceded to the Church of Rome,
being a married man, cannot enter the priesthood
of the Church of Rome ; but it is said that he has
received a dispensation from the Pope which will
l permit him to preach, though not to perform any
I other of the priest’s offices. An order of preach
ers, to meet the cases of those English clergymen,
j who being married, cannot be admitted into the
: priesthood, is talked of as about to be established
by his Holiness.”
That is certainly very kind and considerate. Now
married ministers can go over to Propery, and
take their families with them ! Where is brother
j I’rownson ? . . Olive Branch.
From the Olive Branch.
Simeon.
And behold ! there was in Jerusalem a man
most justly celebrated because of his deep and
sincere piety ; a trait of character so rare among
the Jews of his time, as to make the fact notable!
He was beloved and respected as advise and pru
dent man, fully consecrated to God, in whose law
he delighted, adopting it as th^rule of his daily
walk and conversation. ,And his name was Sim
eon. He was the president of the grand Sanhed
rim father of fc>t. Paul’s preceptor, Gamaliel,
I arid sons of the renewed Hillel, a Jewish doctor
I and philosopher, perhaps the most famous since
j Moses. Thus he was one of thosri constituting the
I line of prophets and rabbins, to whom the Jews
| accord the act of transmitting their oral law or
i traditions, from Moses down to the time of their
j compilation, about A. J). 150.
j He was a man divinely insipred-; being under
theespecial influeuce and direction of the Most
High, and living in earnest anticipation of the
advent of the Messiah, because informed by an
express communication from the Almighty, that
he should not die until he had seen the Lord’s
j Christ, or more strictlv anointed. And whep the
j infant Jesus was carried into the temple to be of
! fered to the Lord, the Holy Spirit, abiding in the
i s oul of Simeon, directed him to go therein also,
j and witness that consolation of Israel, for which
I he had long been waiting. How imposing ! bow
jsolem must have been the scene which then took
j place !—to see that venerable old man receiving
; into his arms that child which God had prepared
j for the salvation of the world ; and then giving
i utterance to the-deep emotions which filled his
i heart! What devotions ! what faith ! he manifest
j ed on that occasion ! It seemed to him as though
j the last object of his life was accomplished, and
| most grateful was he that the Lord had thus ful
1 filled his promise ; and with a willing, gladsome
! heart, he gave expression to that gratitude, in the
| prayer, “Lord, now lettest thou thy servnnt de
1 part in peace ! ”
I He gave his'blessing unto the parents, and
spake unto Mary of the future career of her son,
| and of the anguish of heart in reservation for
I herself. The death of that holy, and divinely fa
: vored man could hardly have been otherwise than
! happy and triumphant ! vedi.
“The Worst of it.”
“ Do you want to buy any berries to-day ?” said
a little boy to me One afternoon. I looked at the
little fellow and lie was very shabbily clothed,
grey pantaloons very much patched, an old cotton
I shirt, and miserable felt hat made up the whole
I of his dress. His feet were bare and travel stain
i ed. In both hands he held up a tin pail full of ripe
land dewy raspberries, which were prettily peeping
lout from amid the bright green leaves that lay
| lightly over them.
I I told him I would like some ; and taking the
! pail from him, I stepped into the house. He did
not follow, but remained behind whistling to my
j canaries, as they hung in their cage in the porch,
j He seemed engrossed with my pretty pets, and
| the berries seemed forgotten,
j ’Why do yotf not come in and see if J measure
I yoftr berries light?” said I ; how do you know
| but what I may cheat you and take more than the
| three quarts I have agreed upon ?” The boy
| looked up archly at me and smiled. “ I am not
afraid,” said he, “ for you would gel the worst of it
| ma’am.”
“ Get the worst of it ?” said I; “ what do you
I mean ?” . • t ’ .
“ Why, ma’am, I should only lose my ber
t ios and you would be stealing ; don’t you’ think
! you would get the worst of it ?”
What a lesson for us, dear children ? This poor
little boy so tired and warm from picking' berries
j all day in* the sun, trudging miles with heavy pail
I of fruit, felt if he had lost them all he would not
| be, so badly off as the one who would cheat him 1
I Little children, will you just think of this when
you are tempted in any way to defraud a play
mate ? Just think you get the worst of it, not the
loser by the fraud. How often do we hear per
sons express great pity when any oue had pro
perty stolen from him. But he does not get the
worst of it. Though a man lose all he has, and
retains his integrity and honesty, ho is rich, com
| pared with the man who has robbed him.
Yes little children, if you disobey your parents
. | —if you abuse your schoolmates—if your art
H guifty_of1y trigftfTtealingTyqi’Tyct the toorst ofit ?5i
I more than those whom you may deceive, or injure
, j or disobey. The suffering may be theirs, but the
sin is yours. God marks the sin : and though
J the sinner may go awhile unpunished, still there
is a great day of accounts when all these little sins
I will appear in fearful array against you.
Daily Morning Prayer-meeting.
| —Amnion prayer-met'iingiaireld in the old South
| Chapel, every morning from eight to nine A. M.
; It has now been in progress over two years, but
has never seemed to attract any very general at
j tention until this winter, when it has been repeat
edly thronged. A most delightful state of reli
Igious feeling is felt and cherished in these rneet
iings. Business nicn-^rich and poor, gather here,
| and pour out their hearts iti fervent prayer to God,
j for the outpouring of liis spirit and the revival of
j his work. These union praver-mcetings, without
doubt have been among the most signal means,
j under God, of tho great revival interest which has
| been so extensively felt in Boston this past winter.
| It is believed that one thousand persons have been
[ converted to God, the present winter and spring,
| in Boston. The meetiug is conducted by lay
i members, although ministers are often present and
take part. I am often present and take pait also,
0, how good it is to unite in the prayer-meeting
with Christians of all denominations! “O Lord
revive thy work,” For weeks past; the language
of Apostolic times has been verified again—“And
the Lord added unto the church daily, such as
should he saved.” Herald.
Intemperance.
The following beautiful pa&age is extracted
from the speech of Mr. Stevenson of Boston, in the
Massachusetts Legislature, on the Liquor bill :
"Portray the evils of intemperance 1 did I say ?
He does not live that can tell the whole story of
its woes. Exaggeration there is impossible Ther 4
fatigued fancy falters in its (light befor it comes
up to the fact„ The mind's eye cannot take in
the countless miseries of its motley train. No
human art can put into thrt pitcure shades darker
than the truth.
Put into such a terrible picture every conceiva
ble thing that is terrible or revolting; paint health
in rnins, hope destroyed, affections crushed, pray
er silenced—paint the chosen seats of maternal a
devotion, all, all vacant; paint all the crimes of
every statute and of every hue, from murders
standing aghast over a grave, which it has no
means to cover, down to the meanest deception
still confident of success, paint home a desert,
and shame a tyrant, and poverty, the leg
itimate child of vice in this community and not its
legitimate mother; paint the dark valley of the
shadow of death peopled with living slaves ; paint
a landscape with trees whose fruit is poison and
whose shade is death, with mountain torrents tri
butary to an opon ocean whose very waves are fire
putin the most distant background, the vanishing
vision of a blessed past and into the foreground
the terrible certainty of accursed future.
Paint prisons with doors* that open only in
wards ; people the scene with men whose shatter
ed forms are tenanted by tormented souls, with
children upon whose lips no smile can ever play,
and with women into whose cheeks furrows have
been btirnj by tears wrung by anguish from brea
king hearts. Paint such a picture, and when you
are ready to show it, do not let in the rays of the
Heavenly sun’; but illume it with the glares of
the infernal fires, and still you will be bound to
say that your picture falls short of the truth.”
The Methodist Episcopal General Confer
ence met at Boston on Monday afternoon, and
the presiding officer, Bishop Janes, appointed the
usual standing committees. ; A ballot was had
I for Assistant Secretaries, which resulted in the
| choice of the Rev. Messrs. Adams, Griffiths and
Daily. A Committee of Revisal was ordered
to bg^_app<5intsd, to take into consideration all
applications for change in the discipline, to con
sists of one from each Conference. Bishop
Waugh then delivered a long and well pre
dared address, from himself and Bishops Morris
and Janes, in which the following paragraph oc
curs :
“ The address spoke strongly in favor of sup
porting the itinerant principle of the church in
the superintendencies, and in favor. of annual
changes in the presidency of annual confer
ferences as more likely to conduce !o a proper ad
ministration of affairs. The episcopacy was one
of the few general bonds yet left to the church,
and every care should be taken to preserve it ; the
progressive character of the present age had a
tendency to induce the throwing aside or forget
fulness of old established principles, or their ra
; dical change, and all should be done to prevent all
unreasonable or undigested action of such a na
| ture.
