STANZAS ON PRAYER.

sympathy in your affliction? Have you respecta- | abundantly, enable you to see what great reason bility in your several stations? Tell me, who has you have to love him with all your heart and soul, provided you all these things but God? Nay, and mind and strength, and incline your hearts to more; have you not received all this kindness render him such a love, and to manifest it by the from him, above and even contrary to what you uniform holiness of your love. Amen. deserved? Often you thought not of the hand that bestowed the blessing, even whilst you were gladdened by its possession. You love a friend who has cherished for you a tender affection, and done you many kindnesses; but was it not God who gave you this friend, and communicated to him the inclination, and bestowed upon him the means to do you good? Of a truth, God is the giver of every good and perfect gift. And can you walk abroad, and breathe his air, and rejoice in the beauty of his creation as it is spread around you, can you share the comforts and endearments, and thousand nameless happinesses of social and domestic life, with which the bounteous hand of God has strewed the path of man, and yet refuse to love the Lord our God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength?

Or do you regard yourselves as immortal beings, having interests that stretch away into the depths of eternity? Viewing you in this light, God has loved you, Christian friends, with a marvellous love, and manifested that love in a most amazing manner. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins. Yes; herein is love indeed. In other instances God's love to man is shown, but in this most of all. Herein is love "without precedent and without parallel.” “Greater love than this hath no man, that a man lay down his life for his friends; but God hath commended his love towards us, in that whilst we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Divine love was so vast, that no gift could be found capable of manifesting it, but the gift of God's own Son. And is it conceivable that any of you should cast down from the throne of your affections the God who hath thus crowned you with loving-kindness and tender mercies, and exalt thereon divers of his creatures? O, base ingratitude! O, sinful folly! Look up to the starry frame, the contrivance of God's wisdom, the workmanship of his hand, look abroad on this world, so clothed with beauty for rebellious man,-behold God's own Son dying on Calvary for sinners,-think of your own state, your comforts, your blessings, your hopes, for all of which you are indebted to the free favour of God, and say if any of you can deny it to be your duty to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength?

I know, however, that no exhibition of the love that you owe to the Lord your God, and no motives, however plain and pressing, can produce any effect, till the Holy Spirit takes away the carnal mind which is enmity against God, and render the heart capable of being influenced by these motives and therefore it is now my earnest prayer that God would pour out his Spirit on you

The bright orbs of heaven appear,
'Tis the hour for deep devotion,—

Lift thy soul to heaven in prayer!
When the autumn-breeze is sighing

Through the leafless forest wide,
And the flowers are dead, or dying,
Once the sunny garden's pride;
When the yellow leaves in motion
Are seen whirling in the air,
'Tis the hour for deep devotion,—
Lift thy soul to heaven in prayer!
On His power and greatness ponder,
When the torrent, and the gale,
And the cataract, and thunder,

In one fearful chorus swell:
Amidst nature's wild emotion

Is thy soul oppressed with care?
'Tis the hour for deep devotion,--

Lift thy soul to heaven in prayer!

HAPPY DEATH OF A CHRISTIAN
ISRAELITE.

[From the Journal of the Rev. W. Ayerst, Church of England
Missionary to the Jews at Frankfort-on-the-Maine. Jewish In-
telligence, July 1839.]

MR RIX was brought to a knowledge of the truth long after he had reached manhood. Mr Rix was at the Reformed Church on Sunday morning, April 21, 1839, and spoke very particularly of the blessing he had received under the discourse of the Rev. Mr Zim

mer.

In the afternoon, he visited me with some other friends, and rejoiced in reading the Scriptures and prayer. He spoke with great feeling of the wonderful goodness of God, as shown in assisting us in our humble endeavours, and wished me very feelingly the blessing of God on my journey which I was about to undertake, little thinking that I should never see him again. After that he attended a missionary prayermeeting, and returned to his lodgings. The people of the house invited him to join them at supper, but he said, he had enjoyed such a spiritual feast on that day, he did not wish for any bodily food. He retired to rest; and very soon after this a fall was heard, which alarmed the inmates of the house, so that, as they received no answer, they forced the door of his room open, and found him stretched on the floor. They got him into bed with difficulty, and he recovered a little: it was proposed to send for a doctor, but he declined this, saying, "My Saviour is the best physician-he has helped me so often, he will not leave me now." He very soon, however, again lost the power of speaking, and before medical aid arrived he was no more.

He was remarkable for bis great courage in confess

ing Christ wherever he came; and, although not a learned man, still we may hope that, in eternity, much fruit will be found of the warm-hearted and honest

avowal of the need of salvation through Christ, as falling from the lips of this venerable Jew. He had been baptized about twenty years, and was about sixty years of age.

Another thing which deserved notice in him, was his great benevolence. Although he was by no means in affluent circumstances, I never heard a word from his lips of complaint or even allusion to any temporal matters-but be frequently used to collect for others. He was touched with the distress he saw, and lent a ready hand. The last thing he was engaged in, was a collection for a poor weaver, who was anxious to become the owner of the loom at which he worked; and it was in allusion to the success which had crowned his efforts, that he so feelingly expressed his acknowledgment of the goodness of God, the very last time I spoke to him. Those who have known him longest and best, give the best testimony to his character. May God raise up many of the house of Jacob to follow him as he followed Christ!

The abundance tions, are things which compose a mere human harangue, and choice of fine thoughts, studied and vehement monot an humble and Christian prayer.

REVIVALS OF RELIGION IN THE ISLAND
OF ARRAN,

DURING THE YEARS 1804, &C., BUT ESPECIALLY IN
1812, 1813. *

THIRTY years ago, the state of religion in this island was exceedingly low. "Darkness covered the land, and gross darkness the people." But, through the tender mercy of God, the day-spring from on high visited it. Divine light arose on them that sat in darkmess, and the cause of Christ has gained much ground in this part of his vineyard, since the year 1804. In that year, and the year following, many were awakened at the north end of the island, especially about the farms of Sannox and their neighbourhood. And although this awakening, as to its power and progress, was not of long continuance, yet a considerable number of the subjects of it testified, by their after lives and conversation, that they had undergone a gracious change. This day of small things was the commence ment of the revival which followed. From this time, a change for the better might be observed in the reli

Seek to repress Infidelity.-Intelligent Christians are especially called to set themselves in strong array against the gathering forces of infidelity. God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise," and he could now, and perhaps may, see fit to arrest the progress of infidelity by unlearned men; yet, when we look back upon the instruments which he has hitherto raised up, and consider the many advantages of human learning which he has placed within our reach, it seems evidently our duty to use these means to the utmost; at least till the Lord shall give us some clear indication of a more excellent and acceptable way. Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings our God ordaineth strength! Let us, then, seek to obtain the spirit and temper of a little child; but let us never forget, that while "in malice we are children," it behoves us in "understanding to be men." David, with his sling and stone, fought Goliath, and conquered. This time he wanted no other weapon, for God had appointed him no other; but when, on a future occasion, he was sore pressed by his enemies, he went into the temple of the Lord, and demanded the sword of that same Go-gious sentiments and conduct of many among the peo iath. "There is none like that," he said, "give it me." Why should he choose a weapon which he had seen fall powerless from the hand of the uncircumcised Philistine? Because he knew, in the hand of the circumcised David, it would do goodly service. The hand, not the weapon, had been in fault.

Thus may

we, if called by the leadings of Providence, avail ourselves of human means, and meet our adversaries hand in hand with their own weapons. Only, let us use David's caution,-let us not take the sword of the Philistine, till it has been consecrated in the temple of the Lord.-M. J. GRAHAM. (Memoir.)

Thanksgiving necessary.-I have found, at all times my soul has been in a better frame, when admiring and adoring acknowledgments have preceded supplications; and I dared not ask for more till I had rendered my acknowledgments for past favours. This I feel to be my state when I awake, if I am at all in a proper frame; and the object I would wish to attain would be, to have my soul abidingly in this state. THOMASON. (Memoir.)

Prayer. Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue, of sighs than of words, of faith than of dis

ple. Many seemed now to be awakened from the
slumber of spiritual death; being disposed to attend to
the things which belong to their everlasting peace.
Their eyes were now opened to see the evil of their
former wicked ways, their perishing condition as sinners,
and their need of Christ as a Saviour. They now be
gan also to distinguish between truth and error; to
relish evangelical doctrine; to attend with diligence
on the means of grace; and, in general, to set up the
worship of God, morning and evening, in their families.
Religious meetings were also set up in many places;
and, in the course of a few years, a kind of reformation
was thus visible throughout many parts of the island.

excitement seemed to be, in general, greater under the sermons in which the riches of divine grace and the consolations of the Gospel were exhibited, than under such as were more awful, and apparently better fitted to awaken. Mr M'Bride's manner of preaching was very much distinguished for seriousness, fervour, and great zeal for the salvation of sinners; and this often led him to make very close appeals to the conscience. But the revival itself was not of a sudden. It was gradual, and spread from one place to another. Neither was it in all cases saving as to its effects. Many under it assumed a form of godliness, who were altogether destitute of its power. In other cases, how ever, there was something more deep and precious even the quickening, saving, and soul-transforming influence of the Holy Spirit. During its progress, a considerable number were accordingly brought under deep convictions of their guilt and unworthiness as sinners, of their liability to eternal misery, and of their utter helplessness as concerned themselves. Now, they began in earnest to say, "What shall we do to be saved?"—and to count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus; for an interest in him. And the God of all grace, who thus visited them with the awakening influences of his Spirit, was pleased also to enlighten their minds as to the way of salvation; and thus to lead them by faith for peace and rest to the only Saviour of sinners. And being thus quickened, enlightened, and comforted, by the teaching of the same Spirit, they were also united together in the bonds of love and Christian fellowship, while they travelled together Zionward.

The subjects of these spiritual influences, were however, only as a little flock, when compared with the multitude who remained yet stout-hearted and far from righteousness. And these, becoming impatient under the restraints which the late reformation had laid upon them, with regard to unholy practices, began to break out anew with greater violence; so that, in 1810 and 1811, many were bolder in sin, and more abandoned to wickedness, than they had been at any former period. The enemy of souls now came in as a flood and threatened to carry all before him. It is right, however, to observe, that this was in no respect true of professors, or of such as there was reason to believe had been the subjects of divine grace. These were for the most part remarkably consistent in their walk and conversation. The breaking out of sin, here referred to, was among the bulk of the people, who made no particular profession of religion, and especially among the young, who had been brought under temporary restraint.

These circumstances, however, affected the tenderhearted, and stirred up the pious zeal of Mr M'Bride, and led him to be even more earnest in his warnings and remonstrances from the pulpit and otherwise, against abounding iniquity. The little flock of tenderhearted Christians, scattered throughout his parish, were, at the same time, moved with a sense of the prevalence of sin, and the desolations of Zion. They felt an increased concern for the conversion and salvation of sinners, and a deeper interest in the prosperity and enlargement of the kingdom of Christ. They began to be more frequent and earnest in their supplications at a throne of grace for a time of revival of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. Several little parties of them by mutual consent, set apart some days for private fasting and prayer, sending up their united supplications to the Hearer of prayer, for the down-pouring of the Spirit in his awakening and converting influences on sinners around them. They kept several such days for nearly a twelvemonth before the commencement of what is generally called, "The Revival of Religion in Arran.' In these devotional exercises, some of them enjoyed uncommon nearness to God, and great freedom at a throne of grace,

when pouring out their hearts, in earnest supplication, for the manifestation of divine power and glory in the sanctuary, especially in the congregation with which they were themselves connected. Their minds were much stirred up to press after these things in secret, and at their fellowship meetings, and also when attending public ordinances. They seemed to be animated by the spirit of him who said, "For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth."

While this little flock of Christ, and their pastor at their head, were thus engaged, and about the beginning of March, 1812, the Lord began to work in an unusual way among them, in a way of which they had not till this time any expectation, and which, accordingly, caused some surprise. It was at this time that the outcrying commenced, which was afterwards so common for a considerable time. It began at first in some private meetings, but afterwards extended to the public assembly under Mr M'Bride's ministry. What made the thing the more remarkable was, that it made its first appear ance among the people of God. Yea, the most tender, humble, and spiritual-minded among them, were the first affected in this manner, and it continued for a short time among them only. But the influence which appeared first moving on them, in this unusual way, was soon extended to others; and the next subjects of it were those who had been before seriously disposed, or who had been at one time or other under serious impressions. But, soon after, it was extended to the gay and thoughtless, the immoral, and the openly wicked. Persons of almost every description and age, from nine years or under, to that of sixty or upwards, were affected; but the number of old people was small compared with that of the young. The crying at first, and while confined to the people of God, was attended with very little bodily agitation; but after others were affected, it was generally attended with these-such as panting, trembling, and other convulsive appearances.

The writer of these pages did not reside in Arran till about six months after the commencement of this revival; but he inquired particularly concerning the beginning of it, from such as were best able to inform him, and is satisfied, in his own mind, that the Spirit of the Lord was at work in preparing for it-that his mighty power was revealed in the commencement of it—and that he had a gracious and merciful design in ordering the circumstances of it. Although this revival did in some measure degenerate latterly through the weakness and folly of men, yet the beginning of it was truly the doing of the Lord, and marvellous in our eyes. Some, who were among the first affected, told the writer, that they had not the most remote idea of crying out, before they were constrained to do SO. So much was this the case, that they said they could not have refrained, even if they had been threatened with instant death. They added, that their outcryings and bodily agitations arose entirely from the state of their minds, when powerfully impressed and affected with a sense of divine truth. But it is proper to observe, that the writer is here speaking only of such as were lively exercised Christians previous to this revival. On examining others, who knew nothing of Christian experience before the beginning of this work, he found that the first impressions of many of them were accompanied with deep convictions of sin, with a painful sense of their helplessness and misery as sinners, and also with earnest desires after an interest in Christ; which it is to be hoped many of them attained. But it must be acknowledged, that the accounts given by all were not alike satisfactory. Many were deeply affected externally, who could give little account of the matter. Their affections were mored, but convictions of sin did not take any deep hold on

their hearts and consciences, and so their awakenings | soon passed away; at least, it was so with some. But if there be joy in heaven over even one sinner that repenteth, we have reason to think that there must have been much joy, in that world of light and love, over many that were brought to true repentance, in this place, during the progress of that work.

About the beginning of 1812, the awakening became general, and continued to make progress about three months. After this, it seemed to be at a stand, till the beginning of the following December, when it again revived, and continued to spread considerably for about three months more; during which period it extended over a great part of the parish of Kilmorie, which is nearly thirty miles long, and it extended also to some parts of the parish of Kilbride. The writer cannot pretend to give the exact number of the subjects of this awakening; but the number, from first to last, was very considerable. It must have amounted to two or three hundred persons, old and young taken together. He may state them at two hundred and fifty; which is rather below than above the real number. But he does not mean to insinuate that the whole of these proved true believers. This will appear from the statements already made.

For some months after the commencement of the awakening, the subjects of it manifested an uncommon thirst after the means of grace. Both old and young flocked in multitudes to hear the word of God. His house, and the place employed for private meetings, were frequently so crowded, that the people, as it were, trod one on another. To travel ten or fifteen miles to hear sermon, was considered as a very small matter; and after sermon was over, it was no uncommon thing for many of them to meet together in private houses, or in barns, and to spend several hours in religious exercises. Some of them spent even whole nights in this way. They also longed for the return of the Sabbath. They rejoiced when it was said unto them," Let❘ us go into the house of the Lord." They eagerly sought after renewed opportunities of receiving spiritual instruction. Their desire was so great as not to be easily satisfied. In our religious assemblies, at this time, some might be seen filled with divine love, others with fear; some rejoicing in hope of the glory of God, and others trembling lest they should come short of it; some crying out in accents of praise, and others indicating by their cries, their dread of everlasting wrath. At this time, our meetings were frequent, and well attended; and almost every sermon seemed to be effective in awakening, quickening, or refreshing. Satan and his agents, indeed, made strong efforts to counteract the designs and operations of the Spirit of God, by throwing all manner of stumbling-blocks in the way of his people; but, notwithstanding all the opposition of earth and hell, the word of the Lord grew and multiplied. Some who were lively Christians before, enjoyed at this time much of the refreshing influences of the Spirit, and were often filled, in an extraordinary measure, with peace and joy in believing. As illustrative of this, I may mention, that, in the spring of 1813, I was catechising one day at a particular farm, in the district of and when speaking of the character of Christ as the Redeemer of God's elect, and attempting to describe the preciousness of his blood, and the riches of his grace, an excellent Christian, who is now in the world of spirits, cried out, in an elevated tone of voice, "O the infinite virtue of the blood of Christ the preciousness of his blood! What am I, what am I, that he should ever spend one thought concerning me! O my nothingness, my nothingness, my nothingness!" And, soon after, she exclaimed, "I shall soon be with thee, I shall soon be with thee -be for ever with the Lord!" I have seen others, also, on various occasions, affected much in the same

way. And these ecstasies of spiritual joy, among the people of God, were generally accompanied with great humility and tenderness of spirit. Instead of being puffed up, they were, on the contrary, bowed down to the very dust, under a sense of their privileges. When the glory of the King of Zion was manifested to their souls, in the light of the Spirit, they were ready to exclaim, with Job, "Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes." I have heard others, under awakenings of conscience, cry out, "O what shall we do? what shall we do? Wash us from sin; let us not deceive ourselves, for we cannot deceive thee." It was pleasing thus to see many of them really afraid of self-deception, and earnest in their inquiries after the only sure foundation, the only hope set before them in the Gospel.

In the spring of 1813, this awakening, however, began to decline, and ceased very soon after; but those who were truly Christians, continued to enjoy, both in secret duties and at public ordinances, renewed and manifest tokens of the divine presence and favour. This was especially the case on sacramental occasions; at which they were favoured with the assistance of some of the most pious ministers of the day. Most of these having now departed this life, I am enabled to name the greater part of them, without making any reference to the living. The late Rev. Messrs Bayne of Greenock, and Robertson of Kingussie, formerly of the Chapel at Rothsay, assisted here constantly for many years. The late Rev. Dr Love of Anderston assisted here occasionally, about the time of the revival; and the late Rev. Mr McKenzie of Gorbals, formerly of the Gælic Chapel, Duke Street, Glasgow, assisted also occasionally, but chiefly before the commencement of this work. These, along with the late Mr M'Bride himself, were considered, and I believe justly, among the most pious ministers of their day : but they have ceased from their labours and their works do follow them. The more regular or occasional labours of these men, were often blessed as seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. It is doubtless true, that, as the awakening declined, some of those who appeared at one time much affected, and much engaged in religious pursuits, began to grow cold and remiss in spiritual duties, to fall into divers temptations, and to slide back into collformity with the world. Like the stony ground hearers, the religious impressions of many were slight and transitory-their convictions were not of a spiritual or abiding nature; and, having no root in their hearts, they soon withered away, without bringing forward any fruit to perfection. But although many did thus turn, as the dog to his vomit, and soon got rid of their religious impressions, a considerable number of the subjects of this work continue, to the present day, bringing forth fruit meet for repentance, and manifesting their faith by their works. It is due however to acknowledge, that, even in respect of the best of us, the zeal, fervour, and liveliness, manifest during the time of our revival, have suffered some decay; and that, instead of these, coldness, deadness, and formality in religion, are now too prevalent among us. We have therefore, much need to be earnest in our supplications for another sea. son of refreshing from the presence of the Lord--to pray, with the devout Psalmist " Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger towards us to cease.-Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee? Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation."

THE SURRENDER AND DEATH OF CHARLES THE FIRST.
BY THE REV. THOMAS M'CRIE, EDINBURGH.

THE period which we now approach was, without exception, the most critical and trying in the whole history of the Scottish Church. When we consider the circumstances in which our ancestors were then placed by the course of events, we will make great allowances for them, and will not hastily condemn them for adopting measures which we cannot fully approve. Distracted between the conscientious duty which they owed to the great Head of the Church, and the allegiance which they owed to their sovereign,-earnestly solicitous to see Charles reinstated on the throne, and yet unwilling to offend the English Parliament, to which they looked as a protection against his despotic encroachments, dreading sectarianism on the one hand, and prelacy on the other, never had the rulers of the Church found more difficulty in steering the vessel intrusted to their charge. Though events did not answer their expectations,) and we must not judge of their actions by the events,) it is impossible for any well-constituted mind not to admire the sterling principle and straight-forward consistency with which they prosecuted their course during this stormy epoch, manifesting the most devoted loyalty to their unhappy and infatuated prince, and at the same time a steady adherence to the cause of liberty, and to their sacred engagements; a course which affords a striking contrast to that pursued by the other two parties in the national struggle. One of the most striking attestations to the general rectitude of their conduct appears in the fact, that, by the friends of both of these parties, they have been equally blamed, both of old and of late, for opposite excesses; the republican faction sneering at their excess of loyalty, while the royal party denounce them as the most base and disloyal of demagogues.

The king, after his defeat by Cromwell, had betaken himself, in the spring of 1646, to the Scottish army, at that time lying in the north of No. 45. NOVEMBER 9, 1839.-14d.]

England, obviously with the design of inducing them to take part with him against the English Parliament. This unexpected step placed the Scots in a situation of extreme embarrassment. Their army had been levied and sent into England expressly to aid the Parliament in its struggle with the royal forces; they were supported by the money of the Parliament, and considered themselves solemnly bound, by the brotherly covenant, to advance its cause. At the same time, they had begun to suspect that some of the Parliamentary leaders entertained designs against the king's person; and to refuse him the "shelter and defence" for which he professed to have thrown himself into their hands, seemed as inconsistent with their engagements in the Covenant, which bound them to "preserve and defend the king's majesty's person and authority, in the preservation and defence of the true religion and liberties of the kingdom," as it was repugnant to every feeling of honour and generosity. He was received by the Scots with every mark of respect; and had he complied with the only terms on which they could, with safety or consistency, engage to support him, there can be little doubt that he would have escaped all his subsequent calamities. These terms were,that he should dismiss his Popishly affected councillors, and subscribe the Solemn League. The Scottish commissioners were fully aware of the advantage which would redound to their cause by the accession of such a convert; but, from the state of feeling in the country, they were equally convinced of the impracticability of success on any other terms. They entreated him, on their knees, and with tears in their eyes, to comply with conditions which were absolutely essential to the peace and safety of both nations, as well as to his own interests; assuring him, that, in the event of his compliance, not only would the whole Scottish people, to a man, prove faithful to him, but that the great body of the English would join with [SECOND SERIES.
