.article m ^Ijfiicku'oad'l Edinburgh M agazine, on PfJUPET E lo o d e n c e . i t is an Essay o f singular excellence, and wd regret extremely, th a t the lim­its of this department of our papor, will not permit its publication entire.' “ A portion of that reverence which we

feel for our God, mingles insensibly with our ideas of those who have devoted themselves to his service. We think of the low lj, and

* affectionate, and cheering- offlees in which the minister-spends his days. We see the

‘ 'taanwliosfe business it is to comfort the broken hftjirted, and to bind up the wounds o f the afflicted spirit,—who sits by the sick bed o f the Christian, and composes the faint­ing soul to meet without horror the agonies

^o f death. We cannot look without love and , .hditiication on the godlike devotion of that

ynrm who huis forfeited all hopes o f worldly preferm ent and worldly fame, and given his Undiviiled.strength to benevolence, which is its own reward, and.piety, .which holds its Oomnaunioa with the heavens, and looks for its recompence on high. He is the type of n il that is kind, and pure, and lovely, in our nature. He is the martyr of humanity: His -Watchings have been not tor himself, but for liis brethren. If the veteran soldier be at Jill times entitled to respect, surely the grey hairs ' of the aged priest arc worthy of a yet more melting veneratiorf; and in these mo­ments o f silent Contemplation, when our tho’ts tirrn not on the comparativ e strength of liumfuni intellects, but on the more awful and eternal relations between God and man, we

/ arc- willing to confess that .he has chosen them . b e tte r part,—that all other occupations are

mean when compared with his,— anil that the internal peace and conscious heroism o f a

' • Blind devoted to employments such as tliese, must ill themselves be a treasure far beyond all th e riche^, power, and honour, to which

. - o ther men attain.”■ Christianity is not only the fountain of

all out hopes, she is also the guide of all our Science^ and th e inspiration o f all our art. T h e great fathers of modern philosophy, Ba-_ con, Newton, Locke, and Kant, w ere devout

“ Ere vve have heard many sentences o f his sermon, we feel that vve arc in the pres­ence o f a great num. A charm is upon us, at once awful and delightful. We feel ’as i f indeed horn again,;—as if in total forgetful-- ness of our own worthless individual selves, but belonging to a race of beings whose na­tures are imperfect, but whose destiny is glorious. Those old associations and im­pressions to which we have all our lives been accustomed-, begin to start one by one into a new state of brightness and vigor. In every step of his progress, he seems to- dis-

-salvvv -hy the txuuih-Al-lrkmQi;nir.' wnndj that

he is in-the ^ p n f o f inspuation. I t is lft such an attitude o f awful ecstacy.that vve rep resen tto ourselves the Hebrew prophet, when “ the heavens were opened, and fie sfevy visions of God, being among the captives by the ' river of Chebar.” If is to such a tone of solemn denunciation that earth shall listen, w hen “ the angel shall. come .down, having great power, and crying mightily with a strong voice, Babylon the great is fa llen !”

Sometimes, vvhcn.Usteningto his prophetic voice, the soul feels a t once Chained and ■bound down to tbe coistdinplation o f some one grand picture which he has unfolded to our imagination. F o r a while we are lost as in a drehro, and tbp scene before us fades away from our eyes. W e suddenly awake from our reverie,. and, lifting our gaze to the pulpit, there is the mighty preacher thundering before us : he seems to us, in his re-appearing effulgence, like a being sent, from afar to comfort, to admonish, and to command ; an image of the dwellers in e ter­nity seems there speaking to tbe children of time ; and bur hearts expand, as they thrill w ith’flie concentered hopes o f immortality I f w e could suppose a human creature so miserable as to dread the extinction o f the soul'within him, let him listen unto Chalmers speaking o f death and o f the grave, and he vviri leel himself prepared to pass through all the horrors of dissolution, as fearlessly as if on.bpard ajnighty ship, sailingin all her glory through some gulf of .roaring darkness, into tbe azure bosom of everlasting calm.

While Chalnners is preaching, a sublime effect is created by the universal harmony of sentiment spread over a breathless con-

re:ration. All who come within the empirestony sleep of lethargy in which some noble feeling of our nature hnd for a season been •entranred. Tfe gives usTromew iTgtrmeata ;tt«new images, but he scatters the vivid rays of poetic splendor ov'er those which, by the very frequency of repetition, have ceased to. have any power either&upon our reason o r o u r limey.

Our souk are.

...quickened with a more vigorous sense o f

siasm along with him in flights, whose lofti- nfss we should not have dared to imagine. He plunges us into depths of contrition, from which he only could teach us to emerge, and shakes us over yawning abysses of des­pair, where his hand alone could preserve us from the lust precipice of ruin. He melts us with lpve, kindles us with hope, o r darkens us with horror. fe e la s if iv ewere in the grasp ofsoine commanding angel, borne through all the untravelled fields-ef ether ;—now wrapped in the bhhjt recesses y/tiiunder, now gliding through fleo-ify clouds of gold and amber, now flouting majestically through the free and,assure expaiihes of tho untroubled sky. The stars begin to gleam upon us with a warmer lu.-tie, earth lies fur below, a dim and rolling orb, and our ej es begin to descry afar off the chiystul batiltj- meuts of heaven. We are willing to.c-onfea.s that vve have never lived before, and .would sacrifice ages of eartliliiiess for one moment of a rapture so divine.

“ I t arises not from the weakness, but the will, o f Chalmers, that be very seldom keeps us long at the summit o f this elevation. l ie seems to be insensible that the splendors ivhich he has revealed to us are either new or dazzling. His genius regards the uni­verse as its birthright, and he has no undue partiality for the richer and more magnifi­cent regions of his domain. With the same overpowering sweep o f mastery, he brings us at once from the heaven to the earth, and from the earth to the heaven ; and, however majestic may have been his eleva­tion, he has not the ail1 of feeling any degra­dation from his descent- He compels us-in deed to follow his footsteps into the basest tracks of mortality, and lays open the intinni-. ties, the frailties, the errors, the vileness, of ou r nature, with, the keen indignation of a J uvenal, no less willingly that he has a l­ready inflamed and purified our spirits with' the angelic enthusiasm o f a Milton. But there is diffused over th e humblest o f his representations, aredeemingbrentli ofchris- tian sublimity a thousand times more en ­nobling than all the stern and unbending dig­nities of the Porch. He does not, like the philosophers of old, confine ail grandeur to contemplation ; he clothes-with majesty-tim. most common office's oFlife, ami teaches tltai the m eanest of his Christian hearers may ex- eJff'Tn th e bosom of his family, and iri the manly perseverance of painful labors, v ir­tues m ore lofty and divine than were ever called tip by the {lure s pirit of the Stagyrite, or over floated among th e mystical and fore­boding dreams of Plato.

Now the young are solemn as the old ; now ■tho-old uroriiHpttasifcHi' most ignorant are suddenly enlightened, the most callous penetrated, the most haughty humbled, the most humbled assured.

"around, and every breath is hushefl, every cheek is pale, every eye is rivetted. In the midst of ail that multitude his voice is heard, like a mighty river rolling throagh the breathless solitude of nature ; nor are the lifeless roc^s and trees rooted in m ore mo­tionless repose ,'than the thousands sitting there in the awe-struck stillness of pervad­ing devotion'.

“ T ru ly the Sabbath-worship of ou r God is a sublime worship, when our souls a re u p : held in their aspirations heavenward by such a preacher. He teaches us to regard with still holier feelings that consecrated day ; and we look forward with delight to the coming Sabbath, when our piety is to be again restored and strengthened. T he stir of life is hushed in a great city : for one day the bu»y heart o f man is at rest, anti heaven is allowed its dominion over earth. The bells are tolling in the calm ; a shoal o f peo­ple flows on toward the house of G od ; and for a seasop no sound is in the city hut the w ice of the preacher or the singing of holy psalms. In that crowd there may be curiosi­ty and idle thoughts, nay, even dark pas­sions and evil spirits ; such is the doom of our humanity. But one hour of perfect freedom-from vice, from meaiineaj, and from folly, is now given unto all. All arc admit­ted into a dream and a vision of glory ; and who shall say what blessed effects may re ­main, long after the voice o f the preacher is silent ? Awakened devotion that has slept

Tjo is not the preacher of any .one class ; he is the copimon orator of naan- ___

“ W ere our hearts,indeed as dead and as cold .asjnonu.menfal marble, they.could not fail to sympathise with such a preacher. lie has given up .his soul to the full sway of his emotions, and he summons from,the depths o f a convulsed spirit things rnoro awful, 'as well as more-'doyely,) than could ever be dreamed o f by the* ordiftffry mirtd o f man. We rfeed only to look upon him, to see that t jis h ea rt is bursting with the deluge of his zeaL His countenance glares with tiie feel- iag o f unutterable th ings; his voice quiyers, afuljhis HmhsTreinble ; and we perceive that

deadened by the world's law—the long lost innocence bfchiJdhood—the tenderness of youthful uffectious-the enthusiasm of youth­ful piety— the recollectionsofprajers utter-, ed unbended kuccs— of the voice of dead pirfehts w ho blessed our infancy— all that softens, beautifies, and sublimes hunianitv, returns upon our hearts like a gale from Paradisei and in (hat mood they are open to the tidings ofs dvation. It is not a vain and delusive enthusiasm ; it is not a sudden swelling o f human exultation ; but it is a conviction sent ia peace and rupture through our souls, that the heavens,are the abode of of more than brotherly— mere than fatherly, love ;— that awful eyes are looking on us witli piiy ..uit-l compassion ;—tli&t awful hand^ are stretched out to embrace us ;— and that it.is in the power o f all to secure everlasting bliss, by the holy, devout, sub­missive acknowledgment and acceptance of the priuiidC-of- i'cilejuption.

Let it not be said that such emotions must necessarily be transient. T rue , tlia t they cannot continue in all their force. We are.. of this world, and its voice must be obeyed. But think not tb a tn iie shoVvcr 'is'dried i'ip" tlipugh it disappears. Iu.ills upout the dry d tistqf oor stmls, and its influence is attest­ed, at some future time, by flowers and ver­dure.
