by day and by night; they would never rest till they had made their calling and election sure. To think of falling short of it! Why it would be the loss of all that makes existence valuable; it would be the loss of the favour of God; it would be the loss of the soul. To think of falling short of it! What a dreadful presentiment at dying hour! Men may live without God, but they cannot die without him--they cannot forget him then: awful beyond expression will be the condition of the helpless soul summoned to endure the severity of the Divine judgments: "it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!" Fain would I exhort you, fain would I entreat you, to lay these things to heart.

Multitudes, I know, will lose eternal happiness: many are called, but few chosen;" "strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life; and few there be that find it." Surely these are declarations impressive enough; these are warnings awakening enough, to rouse us from our spiritual sloth and inactivity. Are we amongst the happy few who shall be saved?

Now, I want every one to make this inquiry for himself. Let me ask you, or rather ask your own consciences, Have you ever had any fears on the subject? If you have not, it can never have been an object of intense desire; it is impossible to be really in earnest about seeking the kingdom of heaven, without being anxious and fearful about it. Hear what St. Paul says, one of the most devoted of God's servants: "I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection, lest that, by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a cast-away." What scrupulous care and attention does this imply! And can you be safe in treating so important a concern with indifference? can you be secure in expressing a careless hope that all will be well at last? Many who die with heaven in anticipation, it is to be feared, will lift up their eyes in hell. Tremendous discovery this of their real state, when it is irretrievable,-bitter knowledge of the truth, when it is too late to profit by it! I want you to fear now; now, when there is time and opportunity for repentance; now, when God waits to be gracious; now, when the atonement of Christ is available for your salvation and mark the words of the text, for they are very explicit; like almost every thing in Scripture, they require minute inspection, in order to get their full force and meaning. "Fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." You are cautioned to startle, as it were, at the very appearance of failure-to be alarmed at the least indica

tion of it. Venture not, therefore, to the brink of danger, try not to go as far as you can without ruin; the very wish to do so evinces that all is not right; for if you adequately estimated the value of the prize of your high calling in Christ Jesus, it is utterly impossible that you could run such an imminent risk of losing it. Rather should each one of us let this thought dwell upon his mind,-As there is a possibility of ultimate failure, am I striving, by every method, to secure the crown of glory, which fadeth not away? can I perceive in myself any sensible advancement towards it?

If, my brethren, you are not gaining ground, you are actually losing it. Are you becoming more humble, more holy, more spiritually minded, than you were? Or are serious thoughts less frequent, and are good resolu tions visibly decaying? Has religion lost its attraction with you, because it has begun to lose its novelty? Does it appear insipid and powerless, compared with the gratifications which the world has to offer?

I know that

if many are honest to themselves, these suggestions will be of painful import; but the heart of man, that source of deceit and iniquity, must be faithfully probed ere the sinner can be made acquainted with his real state. Nor are we acting an unfeeling part; we wish first to make him perceive his disease, and then to direct him to the only remedy against it; we are desirous of bringing him to see his need of the Lord Jesus, the great Physician of souls, who will heal all his infirmities.

There is no cause for despondency; those who are lost will be lost by their own fault, because they would not come unto Christ that they might have life. God is just, and the last great day will abundantly vindicate his justice; all who perish will be proved deserving of their awful fate before assembled men and angels. It is easy now to blind ourselves with false sophistry; it is easy to hope that the Divine threatenings are only made to intimidate us: but God will be true, though every man be found a liar; what he has declared, that he will surely perform. To put the certainty of his judgments to a test is nothing less than headstrong madness; it is soul-suicide. " Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished."

Yes, you may harden yourselves on account of the multitudes on your side; but what are they against the power of Omnipotence? tence? When the Almighty destroyed the world by water, all save one family were united in doing evil: what security have you, then, in the number of your companions? Depend not on such an insufficient shelter; trust not to such a refuge of lies; the fire

will burn up every work, however specious it may seem, and however enduring it may appear, which is not built on the right foundation; and the only right foundation for a sinner's safety is faith in the Saviour. Fearful and irretrievable will be the destruction of the impenitent and unbelieving to be ruined at last is to be ruined for eternity; there is no such thing as retracing our steps when death has sealed our final condition.

Whether such a form of idolatry does really exist in any part of the heathen world, has, I am aware, been called in question. That people, at a distance from the spot where such scenes are practised, should entertain doubts, is not to be wondered at; for, on the first annunciation of so deplorable a fact as that of the devil being worshipped, the thing appears altogether so shocking, that very strong testimonies are required to make such a relation of human woe at all credible.

But this paper will be filled up with a statement of a few facts, collected by one who has been many years resident in the country, and has availed himself of every means of information on the subject; and, for the purpose of satisfying his own mind, has often done violence to his feelings, by being present on occasions when these horrid ceremonies have been performed: and it is hoped that a testimony of this kind will give additional weight to similar statements, which have been often made in missionary and other communications from that part of the world.

Therefore I now state, and I wish it to be heard in every corner of the Christian world, that the devil is regularly, systematically, and ceremoniously worshipped by a large majority of the native inhabitants of the island of Ceylon!

The established heathenism of this island is Buddh

:

The humble and contrite Christian, however, has every encouragement: "He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Such a man is secure in the hands of a gracious Saviour; he will never leave, nor forsake him; whatever vicissitudes he is called to pass through, nothing shall separate him from the love of Christ. Let him but live in close communion with God, and humble dependence upon his grace, and he will protect him against the temptations of the devil, theism, which both condemns and prohibits the worship of devils at the same time, the essential principles of snares of the world, and the corruptions of Buddhism are such as open the way for the introa fallen nature. It is here that our great duction and establishment of the degrading notions strength lieth - here we are impregnable. which have established this species of Satanic adoraHow animating, in this point of view, is the tion in this country. Buddhu was an atheist in the most absolute sense of the word: his writings, or, exulting strain of the Psalmist: "The Lord more properly, the writings of his learned followers, is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; which are very voluminous, exhibit a most complete the God of my rock, in him will I trust: he and sophistical system of atheism. In these writings is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, the eternity of matter is asserted-the existence of a Creator is unequivocally denied-every idea of the my high tower, and my refuge; my Saviour." existence of one eternal almighty God, the maker and Thus may you, my brethren, behold the upholder of all things, is banished from the minds of Lord Jesus with the eye of faith; thus may the reflecting Buddhists: they are truly left in the you trust in him with a holy confidence; thus state described by the apostle-without God in the world. They have no "universal Father"-no divine may you rest upon him as your all in all; and superintending Power: the world has no moral and you will be safe for eternity. Having built upon the Rock of Ages, neither the storms of life nor the waves of death will destroy you. Whenever you may be summoned from this transitory state, you will be supported for the last trying event by the invigorating consolation of the apostle: "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him such words can be used) that are most congenial to against that day." God grant that this may be the happy experience of us all! Amen.

CEYLON.*

"Walking according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience."-Ephes. ii. 2.

IN Ceylon there exist at least five systems of heathen idolatry-Brahminism, Buddhism, Čapoism, Baliism, and Yakadurism. A minute description of these different forms of idolatry, the nature and tendency of the ceremonies connected with them, and the demoralising effects which they severally have upon the native inhabitants, would excite the deepest sympathies in behalf of these benighted heathens.

The literal meaning of "Yakadurism" is, the "expulsion of devils:" but when the whole round of its ceremonies is considered, it properly means the " ship of devils."

his own mind!

It is a humiliating fact, that while Buddhism has. made so many successful efforts to erase from the minds of men all ideas of the existence of a God, their writings every where abound with accounts of the devil: for, during the three hundred and fifty transmigrations of Buddhu in the different bodies which he assumed, the existence of the devil is acknowledged, and Buddhu meets him at every turn as his grand and chief adversary; and a native painting, made in the Burman empire, is now by me, representing Buddhu's last grand conflict with the prince of devils, who is leading on an army of devils to oppose his assumption of the character of Buddhu. So that in these writings the existence of the devil is acknowledged, and he is recognised also in his own infernal character.

In the form of devil-worship established in Ceylon, this chief of devils, in his own real character, is also recognised and acknowledged. Under him is a succession of subordinate devils, of different sizes, dispositions, and colours! These all have to do with

human affairs. In a word, the world and all things
in it are under their control and government. The
demon-worship of the Greeks and Romans acknow-
ledged good as well as evil demons: but, from all that
I have ever been able to collect, I have never yet
heard of a benevolent being in the worship as prac-
tised in Ceylon. They are all evil, exercising a most
wicked and malicious influence over the affairs of men :
and, on this account, the natives are in continual fear
of them. Hence a very sensible native young man,
my company one evening, refused to pass under a
large tree which overhangs the road; and, on my
asking his reasons, he told me, with great gravity,
that every branch and twig of that tree was full of
devils. The ideas which the natives have of the
nature and character of these objects of their devotion,
may be inferred, both from the accounts given of them
in their books, their attempts at representing them in
pictures, and the manner in which they invariably
speak of them; all of which, if we may add the ser-
vices rendered them, go to shew that these invisible
beings, in the opinion of the natives, are wicked,
malignant, mischievous, cruel!-in a word, diabolical!
And such are the objects of devotion pointed out by
the Yakadurism of Ceylon!

This system of idolatry has its prescribed forms, which are found in records, the antiquity of which it is not easy to trace: it has its priests, and round of established ceremonies, which point out, in all their appalling display, the place from whence they sprang. The object to which all these lead is the devil. From the brief sketch just taken of the atheistical opinions of the people, it is plain that he must be considered by them as the being into whose hands fall the government and sole management of human affairs. To conciliate the esteem and friendship of the devil, or, more properly, to avoid his malignant or mischievous interference in their concerns, the natives propitiate him by various offerings and ceremonies, which it is impossible in this place to detail.

The chief actors in these ceremonies are the "Yakadurayas." These men are supposed to carry on continual intercourse with the devil: they are also supposed not only to have a particular acquaintance with him, but also great influence over him. They are resorted to in cases in which persons dedicate themselves to one of these infernal beings; for it is a practice of the natives to place themselves under the protection of the devil. I forbear to describe the ceremonies practised on these occasions of self-dedication to Satan. Like most of their works of darkness, they are performed in the night. Children, at the hour of their birth, are generally dedicated to some one of these evil beings: and it is an awful fact, that, in hundreds and thousands of instances, the poor deluded people are so anxious to place themselves and all connected with them under the care and protection of the devil, that their children are solemnly dedicated to him before they are born! In such cases, the first thing put on the body of the infant, at the period of its birth, is the amulet or the charm, or, in other words, the writing which contains the name, the colour, the office, the influence, and general character of that devil to whom the child is dedicated.

So generally does this superstition prevail, that, in a sermon which I once heard the worthy Petrus Panddetta Sekera preach out of doors to a large congregation against the worship of devils, he made a solemn appeal to his congregation, and said, that he feared almost every individual who heard him that day was living in the practice of devil-worship. He stated, also, a fact which shews to what an extent the superstition prevails: that when he was a priest of Buddhu, he commenced a journey to the city of Kandy, with a number of other priests, to attend a celebrated festival: they arrived at a certain place, one evening, said to be under the government of a very noted devil;

and all his companions feared to pass through that
part of his dominions without making some offering
to him: Petrus, heathen as he was at the time, remon
worshipped, and, by an act of devotion, acknowledged

one of them went to the place where the devil was

A day or two before I went on board, he came from his village, about fifteen miles from Colombo, and brought a petition signed by about fifty of the chief men of the village, requesting a Christian school, with the names of about fifty children as a commencement. He offered himself as the master; and engaged, if we would help and stand by him, that he would not only teach the school on Christian principles, but would drive the worship of the devil both from his own and the neighbouring villages.

THE BIBLE.-The Bible loses much by not being considered as a system; for though many other books are comparable to cloth, in which, by a small pattern, we may safely judge of a whole piece, yet the Bible is like a fair suit of arras, of which, though a shred may assure you of the fineness of the colours and richness of the stuff, yet the hangings never appear to their true advantage but when they are displayed to their dimensions and seen together.-Hon. R. Boyle.

SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.-God's Spirit does not destroy reason, but heightens it. God opens the heart, and creates a new one; and without this creation-this new principle of life-we may hear the word of God, but we can never understand it; we hear the sound, but are never the better. Unless there be in our hearts a secret conviction by the Spirit of God, the Gospel itself is a dead letter. Do we not see this by daily experience? Even those things which a good man and an evil man know, they do not know both alike. An evil man knows that God is lovely, and that sin is of an evil and destructive nature, and when he is reproved, he is convinced; and when he is observed, he is ashamed; and when he has done, he is unsatisfied; and when he pursues his sin, he does it in the dark. Tell him he shall die, and he sighs deeply; but he knows it as well as you. Proceed, and say that after death comes judgment, and the poor man believes and trembles; and yet, after all this, he runs to commit his sin with as certain an event and resolution as if he knew no argument against it. Now since, at the same time, we see other persons not so learned, it may be not so much versed in the Scriptures--yet they say a thing is good, and lay hold of it; they believe glorious things of heaven, and they live accordingly, as men that believe themselves; what is the reason of this difference? They both read the Scriptures; they read and hear the same sermons; they have capable understandings; they both believe what they hear and what they read; and yet the event is vastly different. The reason is that which I am now speaking of the one understands by one principle, the other by another; the one understands by nature, the other by grace; the one by human learning, the other by divine; the one reads the Scriptures without, and the other within; the one understands as a son of man, the other as a son of God; the one perceives by the proportions of the world, the other by the measures of the Spirit; the one understands by reason, the other by love; and, therefore, he does not only understand the sermons of the Spirit and perceive their meaning, but he pierces deeper, and knows the meaning of that meaning; that is, the secret of the Spirit; that which is spiritually discerned; that which gives life to the proposition, and activity to the soul. And

[ocr errors]

the reason is, that he hath a divine principle within him, and a new understanding; that is, plainly, he hath love, and that is more than knowledge; as was. rarely well observed by St. Paul: "Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth;" that is, charity maketh the best scholars. No sermons can build you up a holy building to God, unless the love of God be in your hearts, and purify your souls from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit.-Bishop Taylor.

VALUE OF THE LITURGY.All I see abroad raises my esteem of our English liturgy. The foreign churches, in their ardour to recede as far as possible from the Church of Rome, seem to me to have too little consulted the interests of devotion, and to have attended too exclusively to public preaching. We are always in danger of extremes. The primitive Church was in nothing more remarkable than in the spirit of contrition, meekness, and humility, which pervaded it. The hidden life of the Christian was the main source of divine principles and practice. The Church of England, when her true spirit is imbibed-her doctrines and her devotional forms-her evangelical instructions and her prayers-perhaps comes the nearest of all the reformed communities to the practice of the first Christians, and is best adapted to such a creature as man.-Dr. Wilson, Bishop of Calcutta.

THE POOL OF BETHESDA.

BY B. BARTON.

AROUND Bethesda's healing wave,
Waiting to hear the rustling wing
Which spoke the angel nigh, who gave

Its virtue to that holy spring,
With patience and with hope endued,
Were seen the gather'd multitude.
Among them there was one, whose eye

Had often seen the waters stirr'd;
Whose heart had often heav'd the sigh,
The bitter sigh of hope deferr'd;
Beholding, while he suffer'd on,
The healing virtue given-and gone!
No power had he; no friendly aid

To him its timely succour brought;
But, while his coming he delay'd,

Another won the boon he sought ;— Until the Saviour's love was shewn, Which heal'd him by a word alone! Had they who watch'd and waited there Been conscious who was passing by, With what unceasing, anxious care

Would they have sought his pitying eye, And crav'd, with fervency of soul, His power divine to make them whole! But habit and tradition sway'd

Their minds to trust to sense alone; They only hoped the angel's aid; While in their presence stood, unknown, A greater, mightier far than he, With power from every pain to free. Bethesda's pool has lost its power! No angel, by his glad descent, Dispenses that diviner dower

Which with its healing waters went. But He, whose word surpass'd its wave. Is still omnipotent to save.

[merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small]

Yet are there who this truth confess,
Who know how little forms avail,
But whose protracted helplessness

Confirms the impotent's sad tale;
Who, day by day, and year by year,
As emblems of his lot appear.

They hear the sounds of life and love,
Which tell the visitant is nigh;
They see the troubled waters move,

Whose touch alone might health supply;
But, weak of faith, infirm of will,
Are powerless, helpless, hopeless still !
Saviour! thy love is still the same

As when that healing word was spoke; Still in thine all-redeeming name

Dwells power to burst the strongest yoke! O! be that power, that love display'd; Help those whom thou alone canst aid!

Miscellaneous.

LATIMER IN HIS OLD AGE.-When Edward the Sixth succeeded to the throne, Latimer was set at liberty; but he refused the honours and emoluments of the see of Worcester, on account of his age and infirmities. He could no longer work as a bishop, and would, therefore, no longer receive as such. But when the sanguinary Mary came to the crown, neither the grey hairs, nor the virtues, nor the privacy of the old man, could save him from the stake. Enough that he was a Protestant and a Reformer-enough that he had preached against the doctrines and practices of the Romish clergy. His religious opinions and not his political interference in public affairs, were the cause of his condemnation; and when people thought they could find a reason for the sentence passed against the stirring Cranmer, and the active Ridley, they wondered what offence could be charged against "Old Father Latimer," whose declining days had latterly been spent in retirement. But there was no mercy for the sere and withered leaf, when its greenness and sap had been expended in the cause which the pope and his satellites, Gardiner and Bonner, hated. Latimer had often expressed a willingness to give his heart's blood for England: morcover, he had often uttered a sentiment which was never to be forgiven: Those Romish hearts," said he, speaking of the Papists, never brought good into England!" When he was brought out to be burned, he did not shrink from the fury of the flames, but stretched forth his hands towards the blaze, as though he were proudly taking hold of the martyr's crown. And yet this was the man of whom Lingard has spoken in his history as ungenerously as falsely, "that though he might be attached to his opinions, he did not aspire to the palm of martyrdom." So writes the sneering popish historian, who apoligises for Bonner, and insults the me. mory of Latimer. But it is a well-authenticated fact, that Latimer often predicted of himself and his ministry, "that the preaching of the Gospel would cost him his life." It is also on record, that passing through Smithfield one day he exclaimed, "this place has long groaned for me." Another saying of his is remembered as a proof of his firmness of mind, and of his calm anticipation that he should die in the flames. During

66

his imprisonment in the Tower they gave him but a bad supply of fuel: "Mr. Lieutenant," said he, "it is their intention to burn me; but you mean to cheat them, by starving me to death with cold."

SERVANTS. Most of those who have travelled con. fess with us. that English servants, particularly Engglish female servants, are, as servants, the best in the world, and, as human beings, are an exceedingly virtuous and respectable class. Of course, much depends upon care in the original selection; but the following rules, suggested by experience in a family that has scarcely ever lost a servant, except by death, or the marriage of the party, may prove useful.

1. Remember, that in this country nobody is a slave. and that therefore the engagement of a servant is a contract involving reciprocal obligations, the basis of which is to make both parties as happy as they can be in that relation.

2. Remember, that if you fulfil no part of the contract beyond supplying food, lodging, and stipulated wages, your servant is justified in limiting his or her service to a perfunctory discharge of stipulated duties.

3. If you wish to have good members of society in your household, take care that they have no ill example in it; do not force them to Sabbath violations and other sins; do not restrain them from attendance upon the public ordinances of religion; do not exclude them from your family devotions.

4. Remember, that you cannot expect perfection in any creatures of clay; and bear rather more from your servants than you expect them to bear from you bear not only their occasional neglects, but their habitual weaknesses, unless you are quite sure that you yourself have no habitual weakness which you expect others to bear. To sum up all, erect your authority upon their minds; it will very soon extend itself upon their hearts, and then it will be a matter of no consequence whether you pay high or low wages, except that if your payments are lower than the average, you are unjust, and your parsimony may make your servants suspicious of the sincerity of your apparent kindness. These rules are addressed to mere worldly considerations; but they are not inconsistent with considerations of a higher order; and, we repeat it, they have proved sovereign and specific.Standard.

VOLUNTARYISM IN AMERICA.-Professor Bokum, of Harvard University, estimates the number of Germans in the United States at a million and a half, or nearly a tenth-part of the whole population. They speak German, as their mother-tongue, and few understand any other language. Hence, for education and religious instruction, they must be supplied with German instructors; but it appears that there are but seventy clergymen and missionaries of all denominations who understand German and can preach to these people. This is in the proportion of one minister to 20,000 people; so that some preachers have to superintend ten or twelve congregations, at a distance from each other. The consequence is, so far from the supply of teachers being equal to the demand, that this large mass of the population of the United States are almost altogether destitute of the regular ministrations of the Gospel.
