poor who can "be gathered by it into congregations for forming new reli ~ gious societies arid new churches in
our cities ? ^ I can do little more , in the space which I have , than simpl y to express an opinion on these subjects . : * How , then , it may be asked , - ' -may-th e-g reates t- * nu mbe r—of—that part of the population of a large
city , for which this ministry is intended , be most efficiently brought within the influence of its instruction and care ? Should each' minister , for this purpose , consider a whole city as before him , in every part of which he is to seek out those whorh he may connect with the religions
denomination to which he belongs '; or , should he take a single district , -within which he will confine Ms . objects and his labours P ' - ^ -I do not fiesitate to reply , that if it shall &e the great design of a minister of thepofrr to collect the largest numberfvfiko will profess themselves to be of Vis own denomination of Christiaffs" ^ K § -mti ^ very probably be most successful by
rejecting all limits to the fi # l | iof his ministry . But if he shall * have the infinitely higher purpose , tav aid the largest number which he mji | r in be ^ coming practical Christians ^ he will mark out for himself bounl | , which -will comprehend as many fts ' he can faithfully serve as a Christiafa ' friend ; and to each individual of these will
endeavour to commend hi , niself , ~ - ~ . not as an Episcopalian , a'PreSbytev rian , or Congregatiorialist , or as Orthodox or Unitarian , but simplyas a follower and minister of ^ Christ . I fear , indeed , for this ministf ^ from nothing so much , as from it ! . exposure to the narrowness ami bigotry of party - spirit in -its instruments .
Surely we have seen enough of the influence of this spirit to admonish us , in any new enterprisefor the advancement of the spirit of Christ , to shun and escape it , as , in any other enterprise , we would be warned against the circumstanaes which
have -brought disappointment , and perhaps failure to those whjb embarked'in it . Here , in truth , is a call for " men who acknowledge no
- ' master but Christ ; who hold themselves amenable , to no human authority for their * jud g Mehts upon questions regaraHn | ' ^ i eHMqiis doctrines ; —and ~ whor % iafing ^ Ghri st-thei ^ r—modeland Chris ' t their Ieacjier 7 go io their work , 'in Christ ' s kteaH to beseech
men to be reconciled to God . ' liet such men , within as narrovva space as they can , eacb find three hundred ikmilies , to wh <^ m , in every practicable way of usefulness , they will from ilay --id ^ day . mitii ^ ter , * and' not only % vill " they fihd within ¦ this" circle Sufficient employment for every liour which they can give to their
twot-fc ; J > utvthey JiviH : save niuch time which -mtist " otKe 1 * wise be wasted , in passing over the longIlis ^ akces which " will be between the x ) bjects of ; tHeir charge ; and they will show , also the Tespect which is due to others , who '" " wduWdevofei ^ h ^ nis ^ Ves "ta ^ Ke 7 sTp 0 Pe ''' ministry . Nor have I a doubt that
a far greater good would thus be attained , than could be by traversSing a much larger field , and by ' doubling or tripling the number to whom t ^ ie visits of a minister niight be extended . ( To be continued . ) . ' ¦ ' . .. » ¦' » .. ., ' .
