So much does soctety depend upon good morals, and so much doce individual destiny dopend upon charagtor, that how to roform mankind has al- ways beon tho study and occupation of thoso who havo sought tho highest paths of honor and influonces. ‘istory growe thrilling whon we como Lo a chaptor that opous upona reformation, be it in art, or politics, or religion, For tho most patt, the history of man bas boen one of struggle, and blood, and sorrow, and when, amid its long chnptora, wo soo the word Roformation placed over somo part of tho long drame, tho heart jo choored na whon tho travoler fiuds o epring in the desert. Tho soul takos courage whon it finds that somowhero the human mind cscaped & soperstition, and tho beart & long-borne gorrow. By commion usago, tho age which Luthor helped bring forward is called tho Reformation, but it was only ono fragmont ®f tho immense reform that hina boen coming all along, just ns tho glacier works down 1nto the valley from_the mountain fsstuesscs, pushing itg way until il reaches the land of fiowers, and choors the enowdrop and violet with its cool breath nat noon-day. "P'ho Americon Ropublic is & fragmont of the world's reform, L'k froedom of Russian soxfs, and tho education of Russin's millions, and the dissolving cnates of India, and tho English cus- toms in Japan, and the railway in Hongal, are Dranchies of this great intrenching progross of tho human fas 8o that not over Gormany and Luthor only may wo writo down tho great word Reformation, but ovor mavy an age and nsany &y empire, N Tieform being tho universal blessing and pur- sult, it will ba for us to mako thoe paths by which it f eccustomed to advance i for if it always comes in ono way, and at a fixed spead, and from unchanging causcs, then to briug it about ig ono of the simplest of achiovements withiu the reach of all. "And if its paths aud moadawa nre meny, this also should be kuawn, that our forgivoness mny bo extended to timos that differed with us, snd that we moy have confi- denco 1n our times, although they moy depart from the mothods of the groat past. Laookiog out upon the phenomena of our raco, wo aoem to notico at onco thnt the developmons of tho humen family has como along various pathy, and hes boon tho rosult of causos so di- verso thnt analysis of mothods is difticut if not mpossible, And yet it pormitted us all to look upon simplo historie facts just aa we may look upon stars, whoso digtanca from cach other iy unkuown, ‘and whose power fo pull each othor from givon paths is boyoud common arithme- tic, Of our times, nt least, ono may venture to af- e that tho reform by vivlenco of ovory form has passed nwdy, audin itsstead hos cowes progross by ponce—n molding of opinien by & gradunl omancipation, 1t is now plainly seen that tho emancipation of our own sinves should havo come gradually—should have et forth in au educational and induatrinl prograss from the years of Wasbingtou, instead of being lofs to the dark storm_thot burat in tho days of » sudden “weceomion. Now, as a resnlt of emancipstion by violonce, wo Ly o crowd of froedmen who have ‘becn robbed of the white mun’s guidance before thoy wore furnished with a guidarce in their own intcllect or habits, Thoy are liko bubes in the woods, or liko wild onunialy that dopond ot up- on mweet pasturage, bub upon proy, A lotier from Virginia received the El_lul week says tho poor, idle nogroes will do nothing all duy long, ond at dusk will steal ~ corn irom tho troughs whero their half- starved horses have begun to eat. ‘Their freo- dom_camo before any valusble idens Led come, and thus the exigencios of tho war, and tho Jifo of the Republic, hurled upon theso Africavs the calumity of & louso swapt snd garnished befors any arrangemont had been mudo for & now oceu- pant Lotter thun tho evil spirits that had been cast out. And hence, afior the bonse had been Bwopt, afler tho great strife reaching from Got- vsbutg to the Ozark Mountains was over, back wont tho evil spirit into the negro house, taking with him soven other spirits us bad a8 tho origi- ual bondage. ‘Tl illustration may propare you to confess with mo that tho method of reform most in harmony with Jesus Christ, aud most in har- mony with an ago of liberty and_pence, is tus reform by disappointment—a reforn: in which tho new idea comes and crowds asido tho old, and instead of lesying an empty houso to be- como filled with evil spirits aud” ghosts of tho dead, nrranges ib go thnt its doorstop shell always bo trodden by buppy feot, and the win- dowws nlways bo covered by vines that bave daily loving Latids to dvows them, and bright eyes to admiro tho roece. Had our negro bondage beon grodually crowded ont by om cilucntion of the blacks, exlending over a half century, we would not mow bo sulfering ihe shamo and sbeclute distress that come from tho faci that half of our frecdmen gre_wholly incapuble of austhing Food, cither in mdustry or mornls. Bubin the fong past, tho Church and the Covernment did nothing toward & gradual preparation of the wlavo for liverty. In faci, up to the moment of he War, tho tendonoy of both Church and Htste was to confass the natural inferiority of tho black race, and tho eivrnal nature of tho servi- tudo. Ihe roform of violenco was tho only one left to & people that hud despised thio duty of educating and Christianizing yace, - Now I havo used this evont in_ politics fo illne- trate tho carcer thab senms miost wise in the veslm of rehgion. Reading the mothod of Christ as Ido, and rending the spirlt of our Jaud nnd ago as 1 do, thoso seems no method of progress 50 promising os thut which crawds old fdois out of tho honso gradually, by crowding new ideas in ot somo otter dooy. Many yoard ngo the thoughtful Dr, Chalmers maintained that the wisest way to deal with tho nmusement quostion wus to bring in somo botter happinosy that should crowd aside tho inferior article, and send it quekly but surely to oblivion.

Thoro has boen no dellance, vo threats, no up- roar in tho pulpit and pew, but a developmont of tho contral 1deas of tho Chiristian roligion. Tho world hns nover soon & poriod in which ronco sud thought woro so boautifully blonded. There hind boon beforo this dato, ages_of peaco, but ulso of indolence and stupldity. But, of periods in whioh peace {8 seon joiued to o univorsal and most intonse montpl motivity, ours scoms.tho vory first {u timo and in ominenco. Aud fn all tbis past _generation of poaco, tho mathod of xo- form Lna buon going forward,—that of oxpolling bod spirits ffom the houeo only by having them woll crowded ont by good angols comiug in ut avery opou door and opon window. No rudo po« lico hins arraigned the Anabaptist, no loud dobato Ling ronted in the Arminian louso spaivet the colonist’s croed, nor Lina tho Arian been threat- encd, nor the Quakor beon dasplsed, nor s tho Hobrew boen revifed a8 an outcast whom all may Tighttully eurso; but exnctly tho opposito courso hina beon pursued, and whor ot Inet wo como to gather up rosnlty, wo find thnt more orror and suporstition Liaye diod awny in our century than woro killed by all tho cruclies of tho agos that rovelled in flames and blood. Our contury tenches us that there is no progross to Lo com- pored with that which urges forward good ideas with a loving spirit, aud ssye lttle about the ideas that may be eupposed to bo foolish or false, It hing now bocomo evident that thice- fourtha of tho Presbytorian clergy and poople hovo moved away from tho fatalism and pertisiism of the origimal systom, and that they acither hold the early idons about God's pland nor the early norrow limitations of the Atone- mont; and yet (his glorious progreas is the re- sult, not of attacks upon the old, not of trinls for horeay, but of such n worldwldo pronching of & Savior for all men, of an atonement for all, of » Yather for all, and of human responsibifity, ns hias quickly displaced tho old by leaving o room in tho heart_for its resting-placo. Theso ban- ishietl idoas do not come back, and, finding the mind empty, swopt, ana gornished, onfer in again, and, taking toven othor bnd doctrines worso thun_ themdelyos, but, Jooking in upon thoir recont hiomo, thoy find tho wholo bouso oo- cupied by o most positive group of happy ideas, and it only romsins for the ocxiled spitita to bi tho house farewoll and dopart to romsin in des- ort places forover. It is now becoming manlifest as tho oxcellence of this ora, that it is compelled to announco tho bost idens it can, and thon leave them to thoe public judgmontand nood. If thesixteonth con- tury desired to fling out somo doctrine, tho re- ception of the dogma did not need to depend upon the yaluo of tho dogma, for thero was ale ways forco on hand rendy to’ make tho naw due- trino spresd. But the ninetoouth contury is do- nied the old moans of propegating idoas, and is compolled by porsonal liborty, snd by tho growth of renson, to full back upen the speech of old Gamalicl: *1f this counsel Lo of mou, it will come to naught s but it it bo of Gad, yo eannot ovortbrow it.”" The age beivg full to tho brim of porsonal wdependence, all fagots and auathe- mes being whollyout of the question, the Church is compolled to roly for success wholly upon tho quality of her ideas. Thera is nothing left to hier but the annowlicomont of her thought. The world will be the judge of her valuo, and this peculinvity of tho world has driven tho Church from bickerings to roflaction, aud, instesd of shaking ber crowned head like an angry Crsar, or frowning like o disappointed Jupiter, sho bo= comes a living Evangelist, and, with tho crown af olive-lonvos upan ber forehcad, kaya: **Coma aud lot us repson together.” . As in tho vaat world of industry the nations apraad out their goods in Germany, in France, in England, in America, and are compelled to sot in silance while the great merchants walk alang aud compate the skill of Belgium with tho wkill of Frauco, or the ologance of Pari, 50 in tha Christum doctrine, sll forco buln? sot nside, the churches aro compolled to unfurl their doo- trines, aud Jeave tho vast passing throng to say which are the words nearest tho heart of Jesus, and which will bring most of rightoousncss and Liope o the spirit of man, Yorce abaundons tho fleld, and nothing can triumph but oxeellence. Abuse and intinudntion and quarrols are all in voin 3 that only will bo succoss, which shall iu ouo grasp contuin the most of reason and tho ‘mout of holineas, aud tho most of Jesus Chriat, 1t iss this poculiority of our sgo that brought tho Evangelical Allinnco up from nothing juto being, that there might bo some statement made of truth that sbould secm able to outweigh tho glitloring generalitios of the infidels, and that ‘ight turn the wosld'a critical gaze away from what is small or falso in ouch sect, rud entico it to a survoy of what is grand in the religion of the Bavior. 'Thnt Alhanco is an effort to find Curistian gaods which tho Church may venturo {0 expouo in nny market of the civilized nations, and, exposing thoso valuable dootrines, they ad- journed to cut off_quarrel and debafe, and to givo timo for that silent, calm deliberation which nlways scoms to bring tho mind ncaver to its Maker, Tt would appoar that thera fa naw taling place, in all the Evangelical Church, reform Tapid enough and thorough cnough' for him who wishes most good for tho most, What wo all most neell fa the poiver to forgot the Churel's mattors and to laok for a fow years after the world that lias no Church, po buman friend to love it, and aimost no God to allure it to heaven. It is not the diseussion of old doctrines bgforo Prosbytories and Synods the world demands, but & brotherly srgument and pleading with ‘mien who oro without argument and without hope. Tho Church is boing eilontly reformed. Wo can afford to Dband over all the dark doctrines ond false doctrines to the solemp silenco of the noxt ten yoars,.
