COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES OF MODERN ADVOCATES OF CHRISTIANITY. BY THE EDITOR. ANE THE grand result to be attained by all the instrumentalities employed in promulgation of the gospel scheme, is to complete that holy temple whose corner stone is Jesus Christ-to frame and fit and beautify the several parts, until the topmost stone shall finally be laid with "shoutings, Grace, grace! unto it." All Christian efforts properly put forth, contribute to this noble end. The followers of Christ may pray, or preach, or write, or give, to send the Gospel and the Bible to the nations of the earth-they may have means and talents to accomplish much or little for the cause in this or other lands; but still their motives and their aims are one. A thousand streams of moral and religious influence, from every part of Christendom, are bending their unerring way up towards that ocean of eternal bliss around the throne on high. And were no counter rills impeding their bright course, how soon would this dark world revive-how soon would it be lighted up by heavenly truth-its hills and vales be vocal with Immanuel's praise-and its repenting, praying, happy tenants, ready for admittance to the city of our God on high. Aside from the influences of the Holy Spirit, it must be admitted that the preaching of the gospel stands highest as a divinely appointed instrumentality in the conversion of the world; and all plans adopted for the attainment of this sublime object, by making other means more prominent, have been unsuccessful.

The prayers and personal efforts of the church, considered as a body of individuals, are indispensable to the herald of the cross. Those efforts have put in operation that mighty engine of moral power, The Press, by which the word of God and millions of pages of other precious truth have been scattered, like the leaves of the forest, over many of the darkest regions of the earth. Ever since the invention of printing, the press has been the principal instrumentality in establishing the doctrines of the Christian religion, and defending them from the aspersions of infidelity. The rich mines of Theology and Metaphysics the foundation of all our codes of morals and religion—are laid open by this means of disseminating truth. We may add, that the |
