many of their charms. "Out of the fulness of the heart | for the nation of Israel, yet these deliverances were the mouth speaketh." But, to conclude. For gigantic powers of mind, for intense piety, for true moral greatness, it is not easy to find his equal. No one can study his life, or his character, without being convinced that he was indeed a great man. Splendid talents, unaccompanied by virtue and moral worth, render a man rather an object of pity than of admiration. For let him take the highest flight he can, we can still retort upon him the accusation that the chief end of his existence is yet to be fulfilled. What a bright and lovely halo does vital religion shed around the memory of the great in intellect! It is this that constitutes Mr Edwards' claims to greatness. In whatever aspect we view him, we have an object of admiration-whether as a philosopher or a Christian,-as a theologian, clad in the bright armour of truth, and fighting the battles of the faith-or a diligent, devoted, and successful labourer in his Master's vineyard. His praise is in the Church of Christ, and there his name shall be had in everlasting remembrance. Among the learned, too, his name shall be reverenced so long as profound reasoning has any charms. If we search the ranks of the high in intellect, where shall we find his superior; or among the names of the faithful shepherds of Christ's flock, where one more devoted; or among the many and bright names of those who have followed the steps of their Redeemer, where one more persevering, more watchful, or more humble than he? And how does it increase our admiration to behold him descending from the heights of science, and instilling into the minds of Indian children the lessons of heavenly wisdom! "Oh!

"Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee, and thou shalt tread upon their high places."-DEUT. xxxiii. 29. THESE Words of Moses represent the nation of Israel as distinguished above all the nations of the earth, in regard to God's gracious interposition in delivering them out of the hands of all their enemies. And this distinction has been plainly intimated to us in Scripture, as has been shown. Some of the important purposes that were to be answered by this arrangement, so far as the Scriptures throw light upon the subject, have also been mentioned. And these things will be still farther illustrated in the course of setting before our readers an outline of the history of this people, as it may be collected from the Scriptures. The most interesting period of their history is yet future, namely, that state of great outward prosperity and great spiritual enjoyment to which they shall be exalted, when they are again gathered from all the countries whither they have been scattered, and finally established in their own land. To this period the passage quoted from Deuteronomy does principally refer. For although there may have been a partial fulfilment of it in some of those signal deliverances which God hath already wrought | only the pledges and types of a more complete deliverance to be wrought for them out of the hands of all their enemies at a future period. Here our only guide is the light of prophecy and happily, the prophets have furnished us with much information with regard to the final destinies of this people. It is a subject on which they seem to dwell with delight: their souls kindle into rapture: they tune their harps to loftier strains of heavenly melody: they call upon all nature around them to participate in their joy. The wilderness and the solitary place are called upon to be glad, and the desert to rejoice and blossom as the rose. But what the prophets have foretold of that glorious period will be better understood by tracing the history of the nation of Israel from the beginning. The whole history of Israel may be comprehended in seven periods; each of them being marked by signal interpositions of Providence, and a very remarkable change in their circumstances. The first period of their history includes the time from the call of Abraham, which may be termed the laying the foundation of the nation; the time of the patriarchs' sojourning as strangers in the land of Canaan ; the time of Israel's sojourning in Egypt, and being under the oppressive bondage of Pharaoh; and the time of their deliverance from the land of Egypt and from the house of bondage, by the mighty hand of God, under the guidance of Moses, the Lord's servant. This first period includes a space of about 460 years. The second period is their sojourning in the wilderness. In this period was the giving of the law from Mount Sinai; the erecting of the tabernacle, with the appointment of all the institutions of the ceremonial law; God's gracious presence with them, by the symbol of the pillar of cloud by day, and pillar of fire by night, with many other signs and wonders, both of judgment and mercy, and their establishment in the land of Canaan, after subduing their enemies, under Joshua, the captain of the Lord's hosts. This was a period of 40 years, The third period includes their residence in Canaan, first, under Judges, then under Kings, of whom David and Solomon were the most distinguished. The dismemberment of the kingdom into the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel, in the time of Rehoboam and Jeroboam; the carrying away captive first the ten tribes, composing the kingdom of Israel, and afterwards the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, that constituted the kingdom of Judah, who were carried to Babylon. This period consists of upwards of 800 years. "When The fourth period consists of their state of captivity at Babylon for 70 years. This was a dark time in their history; when they hung all their harps upon the willows by the rivers of Babylon, and wept, when they remembered Zion. But it was instructive; and the gloom was alleviated by the promise of deliverance, and by the joy of their return to their own land. the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dreamed. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, the Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." The fifth period consists of their establishment in their own land, after the Babylonish captivity under Ezra and Nehemiah, and the ministry of the latter prophets. It includes also that long dark period from the time of Malachi to the coming of Christ, that was lightened only by a short-lived revival under the Maccabees. It includes also the time of Christ's sojourning on earth, the ministry of his apostles, and the destruc tion of the temple and of Jerusalem, and the dispersion of the whole nation by the Roman armies. This was a period of upwards of 600 years. The sixth period includes their history from that time | be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: to this day, and on to their final ingathering to their and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy land. This is the longest and darkest night that they Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of have yet passed through. It has already lasted for Jacob." nearly 1800 years, and how long it may yet last it is not for us to say. It may however be hoped that the greater part, by far, of this long night is now over. The faint dawn of the morning seems now to be breaking in; a morning that shall usher in the brightest day that has ever shone upon Zion hill and Salem's towers and palaces. THE SAVIOUR'S URGENT CALL: A DISCOURSE. And BY THE REV. D. PITCAIRN, Minister of Evie and Rendall, Orkney. Behold, I stand at the door and knock."—REV. iii, 20. THESE are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Head of the Church. They form part of the address which the Apostle John was instructed to write to the angel of the Church of Laodicea, and, through him, to all the members of that professedly Christian community. we think that, under any circumstances, they are calculated to produce a very serious and solemn impression. But when we reflect on those particular circumstances of the Laodicean Church, which led to such an expression of watchful interest on the part of the Saviour, we can never sufficiently admire the long-suffering forbearance and patience which are here blended with a warning at once so alarming and so affectionate. The seventh period consists of their re-establishment" in their own land, under the happy reign of Messiah. This is indeed their seventh period their Sabbath of rest, and peace, and joy. Yea, it shall be the jubilee of all the earth, when the nations shall be blessed in Christ, and when all nations shall call Him blessed. This period consists of 1000 years, and brings down the history of Israel to the final and general judgment; the consummation of the great work of redemption, when the top-stone shall be put upon the glorious fabric, with shoutings of, "Grace, grace unto it.-Amen." 1. Even from the rapid glance that has thus been taken of the history of the nation of Israel, it must be evident that there is something very remarkable, wonderful, and interesting about that people. Their history may be traced from their commencement to the end of time. Of no other nation under heaven can this be said. The origin of other nations is involved in obscurity and fable-and in their progress they come to be mingled with other nations, so that the nations of antiquity are lost in more modern nations that have sprung out of them. But here is a nation that, amidst all the changes and revolutions of other nations, and amidst all the vicissitudes which they themselves have undergone, remain still the same nation, and will do so to the end of time. Can we fail to discern herein the doing of the Lord, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 2. The history of the nation of Israel should be the more interesting to us, because it is given by the pen of inspiration. The histories of other nations are given us by fallible men; and, while they contain much valuable information, yet they have many errors and false statements; and particularly, may often be mistaken when they attempt to trace events to their causes, and to unfold the motives by which the principal actors have been influenced. But in the history of this nation every thing is stated in a strict accordance with truth, and we are let into the true springs and motives of men's conduct by Ilim who knows perfectly the hearts of all men. And, further, we may be assured not only that every thing is correctly stated, but stated in the way that in the wisdom of God was best calculated to promote our improvement-to make us wise unto salvation. Since 3. The history of the nation of Israel should be farther interesting to us, when we consider that the history of the other nations of the earth stands intimately connected with its history. The rise or fall of the greatest empires in the world, it will be found, has a peculiar reference to this people. They have been raised to be a scourge to them, and they have fallen in the controversy of Zion. "I am the Lord thy God, the holy one of Israel, thy Saviour. I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life." And, again, it is written," Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the Lord, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children, and I will feed them that oppress thee with their own tiesh, and they shall We learn from history that the idolatrous city of Laodicea had been visited by the apostles of our Lord at an early period, and that the preaching of the Gospel among its inhabitants had been accompanied with such an effectual blessing, that a large and flourishing Church was speedily planted. For a series of years, those who embraced the profession of Christianity, manifested its sanctifying power in a becoming walk and conversation. But the very privileges they enjoyed, and the attainments in the knowledge and obedience of the truth to which, by divine grace, they had reached, gradually fostered a spirit of pride and self-confidence, and subverted that spirit of humble and thankful dependance on the God of their salvation, which was both their duty and their strength. And when the work of spiritual declension had once begun, it advanced with such rapid steps, that before half a century had elapsed, the members of this Church, at first so promising and so prosperous, sunk into that state of lukewarmness, which, of all other states, is the most delusive and dangerous. It is recorded to their shame, that, in the service of Christ, they were neither cold nor hot. They were neither the avowed enemies nor the decided friends of Him whose name they bore. But although the genuine spirit of devotion had evaporated, they still fancied that all was well with them, because they had not renounced the outward forms of Christianity. And placing an undue reliance on their gifts and on their advantages, they said that they were rich, and increased in goods, and stood in need of nothing," while He, who viewed their condition with an unerring eye, declares that they were "wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked." 66 And yet in the case of these apostate Laodiceans, we see that he is reluctant to abandon them, notwith standing the neglect and the provocations he had received at their hand. Although they had perversely withdrawn from his service, and expelled him from that highest place in their affections, to which he was entitled, he does not cease to desire their truest welfare, nor to expostulate with them on their ingratitude and guilt. In the strong and touching language of the text, he reminds them that his omniscient eye was upon them, that he was thoroughly acquainted with all their conduct, and that their real characters lay naked and open to his view," Behold, I stand at the door." Surely an announcement like this was admirably fitted to rouse them from their spiritual lethargy, and to convince them of their spiritual danger, to dispel their treacherous hopes, and to give energy to those fears which had been studiously suppressed. The very idea of that Saviour being 80 near to them, whose grace they had perverted, and whose goodness they had despised, was enough to smite them with remorse, and to excite the most painful upbraidings of conscience. But when their neglected Saviour not merely announced that he stood at the door as an exile, but added that still he "knocked" for admission to those hearts which were his rightful residence, and where he was entitled to expect a joyful welcome, and a cordial homage, this was, above all, calculated to melt them into penitence, and to rekindle the fire of love to him who thus lamented their spiritual declension, and longed for their spiritual recovery. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me." But if it was true in reference to the Church of Laodicea, that our Lord Jesus Christ stood at the door and knocked, and if the consideration of this truth affects our hearts, it becomes us to remember that the same is true in reference to ourselves, and this should affect us still more deeply. For when it is solemnly commanded at the close of the epistle, "he that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches," we are hereby summoned, by the highest authority, to regard the admonitions, and reproofs, and warnings, originally addressed to the seven Asiatic Churches, as addressed to each individual, in every age, and in every country, who professes to believe the Gospel, and who is called by the name of Christ. Is it, then, really the case, that the Lord, who once shed his blood on Calvary for the remission of our sins, but who is now exalted at the right hand of the Father, far above all principalities and powers, still casts upon us a watchful eye, and says to any of us, Behold, I stand at the door and knock?" Yes, my friends, this is true; and would we only realize this truth, it might fill many amongst us with alarm, or with self-abasement, or with that godly sorrow which worketh repentance not to be repented of. As a Church, we do not exactly resemble the people to whom the words of our text were specially addressed, a people of whom the Omniscient Saviour had not one word to utter in the way of commendation. As a Christian community, we are not sunk into the same deplorable condition of universal apathy and lukewarmness. Blessed be God! we can look to a few whose hearts are warm with his love, and whose lives are devoted to his service. But whilst it is too true that there are always to be found many professing Christians, who are in a declining state, there are also many others, alas! how many, who have nothing more, and who never had anything more, of Christianity than the empty name. These persons, living in the enjoyment of frequent opportunities of public worship and religious instruction, and perhaps even partaking of the holy sacraments of the Church, are apt to flatter themselves that they are "rich, and increased in goods, and stand in need of nothing;" whereas it is painfully evident that, as yet, they are ignorant of their own spiritual poverty and wretchedness, and destitute of any participation in the unsearchable riches of Christ-those durable riches which alone can satisfy the wants of an immortal soul. Now, dear brethren, as it cannot be denied that, in our own favoured land, there is at present a wide-spread Christian profession, and very much activity, so far as concerns the mere externals of religion, it is of the utmost importance that you should be guarded against the danger of resting in a form of godliness, to the exclusion or denial of its power; and, therefore, we should wish that all of you gave earnest heed to the monitory voice which speaks to you in the faithful and affecting language of the text, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." We think these solemn words, coming from the lips of a loving but neglected Saviour, can scarcely fail to occasion some misgivings in the stoutest, and some relentings in the hardest, heart. They force upon your attention the alarming fact, that He who will ere long be your righteous Judge, is even now the constant spectator of all your actions; although you see him not, he is at the door; and they testify against you, whatever profession you make, that he still stands without. He has not been admitted to that place in your affections which none else deserves to occupy. And if you spend a thought on the dignity of his person, on the wonders of his love towards you, and on the magnitude of the blessings with which he desires to enrich you, O how deeply humbled should you be on account of the thoughtless, or, it may be, scornful contempt with which you have hitherto treated the God of your salvation, and of the injury you have done to yourselves in excluding such a blessed, and blessing, friend from your hearts! But there is yet another view of the subject on which we would have you to dwell, and that is, the attitude of forgiving and beseeching importunity in which the compassionate Saviour still recommends himself to your regards. He is unwilling to give you up to your own infatuated waywardness. Notwithstanding your misimprove ment of the manifold advantages he has conferred | the idea that the Lord Jesus Christ does not upon you, and your sinful indifference to his dying actually address himself to you in the language love, and to his holy injunctions; notwithstanding of warning or of invitation.

We beseech you to believe it as an unquestionable truth that, to all of you who have not already received the Saviour, and are resting upon him alone for salvation, the words of the text are as pointedly directed as they were to the lukewarm Laodiceans. And if this fact really is believed, we are convinced that none of you, without some strong emotion, can hear your redeeming God declare, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." It is possible that some of you may palliate your indifference about spiritual things, and your disobedience to the heavenly voice, under ceaseless watchfulness which he exercises over every Church and over each individual member, but likewise how thoroughly he searches the hearts, and understands the whole affairs of men. O! do not give place to self-deception. For although you can neither look upon Christ with your bodily eyes, nor listen to him with your bodily ears; yet, every time you read or hear his blessed Gospel you may, and you ought, to realise his presence with you; you may, and ought, to consider what you read or hear, as expressly addressed to your selves. Believe, then, that even at this moment, the ever-present and all-merciful Saviour says unto you :-"Behold I stand at the door and knock." But, it is far from being improbable that there may be persons amongst us who attempt not formally to deny that the Lord Jesus Christ inspects all the Churches with an omniscient eye, and condescends per to speak to every individual. This much they profess to believe, and so far with their lips at least, they honour the Saviour. But how sadly do they dishonour him, and how inconsistently do they act, if they nevertheless continue unawed by his presence, and regardless of his admonitions! And why is it so with many? Why is it that you will not listen to the Saviour's warning voice? -that you will not yield to his gracious entreaties? -that you do not admire the exceeding riches of his grace?-that you do not open wide the door of your hearts for his welcome reception? O! my friends, consider well. Is the Son of God unworthy to be your guest? Or, are the forgiveness of sins, the favour of God, and a place in the heavenly kingdom, of such trifling importance, that their possession should cause you no anxiety? Some of you, perhaps, are so self-righteous as to conceive, that to you the warning of the text is inapplicable,—that you are regular in the formance of moral and religious duties, and circumspect in the whole of your deportment,that you stand upon vantage ground when compared with others around you;-in fact, that you are spiritually rich and increased in goods, and that on these accounts you need neither the inspection nor the reproof of your Lord. This is pride without any disguise. But in your hours of sober reflection, surely you cannot think so highly of yourselves, and so meanly of Him with whom you have to deal, as ever to imagine that your imperfect services are commensurate with the requirements of the divine law, or that your shortcomings are so insignificant that they will escape the divine displeasure. The warning of the text is indeed to you most necessary. For whilst you remain so satisfied with your own doings, rest assured that the Saviour has no place in your heart. He stands outside the door, but O! be thankful that still he knocks for admission; and be persuaded no longer to resist his entreaties, lest he abandon you for ever. THE BOMBAY MISSION. A BRANCH OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S INDIA MISSION. THE following account of the operations of the Rev. Dr Wilson, Bombay, is given in a letter addressed to the Rev. Dr Brunton, dated 28th Nov. 1836. It contains a detailed and very interesting view of the indefatigable exertions, during last year, of that truly devoted missionary : I. The services of the mission, in the native languages, are highly important. Every morning my domestics, and as many other persons as I can get to attend me, are assembled for the perusal of the Scriptures, and interrogation as to their meaning; and exhortation and prayer. In the evenings, when my health and other duties permit, I preach the glad tidings of salvation in those situations in the city in which large and attentive audiences can be procured, and in which such interruptions as are to be regretted seldom occur. On Sabbaths, I have two catechetical exercises; one for the benefit of the more advanced children attending the Márathi and Gujarathi schools; and one for the members of the native Church, and those who may be proposing to join their communion; and two diets of public preaching. One of these, in the lecture-room of the mission, is well attended by various classes of Heathens and Muhamof two native poor's asylums founded by the benevolence madans; and the other is the means of the instruction of the Bombay community. On Thursday evenings, I preside at a meeting of the converts and inquirers, for prayer and the study of the Scriptures, which is found highly beneficial for their advancement in Christian knowledge and experience. On Saturday afternoons, the teachers of the schools are examined on the more the week. By all these means, and by the abundant difficult subjects on which they give instruction during circulation of books, a knowledge of Christianity is very extensively diffused; much inquiry is excited; many prejudices are weakened; and convictions, some of which have issued, and others, it is to be hoped, will issue, in conversion, are produced. Rejoiced am I to have in reference to these operations, and the expression of the fullest approbation of the Assembly's committee their earnest hope that they may be continued. If God give me health, and strength, and opportunity, this hope will never be disappointed; and if that blessing which the promises of God, and present appearances lead us to anticipate, be communicated, it will be a hope which will not need to be ashamed. II. In the schools in which the native languages are taught, there is an attendance of 811 persons; of whom 619 are boys, and 192 are girls. In the conducting of these humble, but, as far as the diffusion of Christian knowledge, the improvement of native society in general, and the probability of ultimate conversion to God, are concerned, most important institutions, I enjoy the assistance of one of the converts, whose zeal and judgment afford me much satisfaction. I hope to be soon able, having placed some of the most promising pupils in the English school for a superior education, to furnish them with teachers of greater ability than those who are at present connected with them; and to get some cheap erections prepared for them in different parts of the city, in which the scholars will have better accommodations than those which they now enjoy, and in which I may conveniently assemble the parents when they are inclined, as they frequently are, to attend the regular examinations, and to listen to the exhortations The female schools are all under which follow them. my own eye, being located within the mission preis often advantageously accomplished when they are together. mises. The instruction of the more advanced classes III. While I yield to no individual in India in my sense of the necessity of ministering in the vernacular languages, the grand mediuin for the instruction of the millions of the people, I am no less decidedly convinced of the solemn duty of officiating in English, the medium through which the higher classes of the natives in this town are in general most accessible, and in which inmunicated to them and others, connected with all the definite stores of knowledge can most easily be combranches of science and theology. On the assurance which I have on this subject, I endeavour faithfully to act, both in the English school and in the mission-house. I conduct two regular services weekly in the latter place, one of which is a lecture on the propagation of Christianity. I have gone regularly over the Acts of the Apostles, comparing them with the Epistles; and have analysed, and familiarly commented on, the information found on the subject of my discourse in the writings of the apostolical Fathers, and the Apologies of Justin Martyr and Tertullian. IV. The operations of the mission connected with the press have been very considerable during the past year; and I trust that, through the divine blessing, they will not be without beneficial effects among the people.
