'================== REFORMATION NEEDED.

As the annual meetings of our Alisociations draw nllar, we are troubled with someunpleas­ant forebodings. We fear that the com­mu.tions from the several churches will 8how &&lamentable coldness in piety, if not an important diminution of numbers. We fear that our benevolent enterprise8 will be found to have been poorly sustained. We fear that

,our brlltbren will be found to have been awful­ly guilty in not" Beeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness." We fear that it will be found, that they have attended first to their own comfort; practically saying, that they had their own alfairs to look after, and God must wait. We fear that family prayer and prayer meetings wiH be found to have been sadly neglected. We fear that the " root of bitterness" will be found to have sprung up in som~ of our societies, troubling

.-- them, to the defilement of many. We fear • I that Sabbath profanation will be found to

have prevailed to an alarming extent; and , that the sanctuary and its ordinances have

been despised. We fear that many of 0

ministers will be found to have" settled on their lees," and that that dangerous apathy prevails which is bnt the precursor of" terrible things. in righteousness," to be sent upon us before our tr,ansgres.s}ona can be purged away. These are ~ur forebodings, and we would that there was less ground for them thim there is. '

Already, we seem to hear the Head of tlte Church saying, .. I have somewhat against tl/ee, becau,ethouhast liftthyfirst love." Indeed,we know not but we are now undergoing the ex­ecution of that fearful sentence implied in the words, "Because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out if my mouth:" What good reason can be assigned why this should not be our fate 1 The mere fact that we are· the only people who stand forth as witne~se8 for God's holy Sabbath, is

,not a sufficient reason; for, however strict our conformity tO'his law in this l'espect, if we dis· grace his cause in every other palticular, he will not spare us on this account. Sabbath­keeping is 110t the whole of obedience, by any means; and if some practical proof is not given of its conduciveness to general piety, ollr'zeal in contending fOl' it does but·render the institution itself contemptible in the eyes of those upon whom we would enforce it. It is a mistaken idea, which some fall into, that God willspare us for the sak ~ of the Sabbath merely, dear !If! the institutioil may be to him. Were not theJ ews God's chosen peopJe 1 Was not the religion they professed God's truth 1 Was not the temple in which they worshiped God's house 1 Yet God could allow their

. .1 h enemies to tnl,Imp over them, and to profane " the ~emple and ~s vessels, and to set up their

abominations in the holy place; and all for the wickedness of them who had, proved so recreant to his cause. With equal consisten­cy play he give us up to be a reproach and a ~ I ' by-word among men.

But what does our zeal for the Sabbath itself amount to, after all 1 Lect'ure~ however numerous, and tracts however abundantly distributed, and controversies however ear­nestly prosecuted, will carry but little convic­tiOI~ to the public mind, while we ourselves are guilty of .. holding the trnth in u'nrighteous­ne", For,while many of us make the Sabbath a day of visiting and recreation, and others do not scruple to make it a di!y'oftraveling when it suits their convenience, and while all of us are guilty of practically forgetting that it is a day ,to be devoted wholly to God, "doing our own ways, and, finding anr own pleasure, and speaking our own words;" it were most un­re,asonable to count mnch upon the weight OUI; influence,in behalf of the institution: The fact is, we have never properly fulfilIed our missioll in this respec~. And that which is, above every thing else, called for, is reforma­tion atlhome. We must keep the Sabbath bet­ter ; w~ must give stronger evidence of our love

, forthe in~titution; its conduciveness to our gen­eral piety and g1'owth in grace must become more palpably evident to cL,mmunity, or else we may as welI give up 0111' mission, as unfit to be any longer engaged in it.
