To go boyond tho instructions of bia shiof, or to fall short of them, destroys tho sharacter of the servant nnd agent, and, for the time, maken him the mastor, and tho owner of tho goods or onterprises bacomes only an under- ling. To such a custom among Lusiness mon Paul alludes wheu he esys, *‘Let mem ac- count us = being wministers of Christ and stowards of the mysteries of God."” Tho same rules which segulato the conduct of man must boldin this higher form of steward- ship, and the Goapel-miniater may not gobe- youd, nor coma shart of, tho Inatruotions Lesnod %o him from tho Great King.

The Church bas sufferod lflully from the long endeavor of leading tnil uot simply to compel mman bollef, but 1o moke Clristianity an exact science, complote in tho proofs ani details, Tho Romavist camo with hLis per- fuotly definod scioucs of salvation, Just na Euclid oamo with his finvmotry; thon tho Protostant camo with his exact scionce again, aod becanso he was exact, ke demandod tho overthrow of all clse., Swedonborg canto with bis most minule sccount of leavon and hell, and thus all our sccts came with an oxact- ness nud {ullnoss of information uot surpassed by the geozraphera of our States or the asaayors of ores.

If yom bring twenty-four charges against a neighbor, and bring him beforo a Crimiual Court, aud 1w the subsequent iuvestigotion twenty-threo of tho charges utterly fail, the pity of tha Cowrt turns toward tha prisonor, and its indignation gots higher cach moment over tho strapgo mor- tal thal ;ado up tho cass. Andyotif tho twen- ty-threo charges had wever been leard of, and you had come nto court modestly, with one atle- gation mora susceptiblo of proof, the resuly would have beon 1 tho touo of oxact justice. Novw, Christianity las enffered by gathering up into its proposition moro dotails then it could wake good 10 e progf, and a8, oue by one, theso details hiavo boon tasssit aside by thogroat jury of tho agoes, silting upon the immeuso caso, what was valuable in tho causo bas Loon dragged down by the swrrounding rain, When Voltuire, nnd Voiney, and Paino found four-ifths of Ro- wanisn, or the Lstablisbment, to bo human chimera, it was easy for them fo include tho othier fifth, and laugh ot the whole. A grand hops for the presenc and futuro of religion (and by relyzion we mean Cristisulty) lios in tho disposition of our age to abandon this old, injurious oxactuess, and in sach gront generali- tés ny those anunounced by tho Evangelical Al- linace, return to that broad but vaguo aud mist; atmosphero which hangs all over tho Bible, aug whicl charms, sad detaios, and finally im- prizons oll eyes that turn thithorward, Tho religion of the faturo is foreshad- owed in just ouch a simple and vagwo compendinm.
