It is possible that Mr. Finney is misap

our own. We understand him not to de

fervency, or the amount of prayer that it
would be the privilege of " W. M." or any

'"THE PRAYER OF FAITH.
Tathie Editor of the Vermont Telegraph:
' " Dear Sir, You will confer a favor on
one who professes to be R friend to truth, by
giving this enquiry a place in your paper ;
and also by giving an explanation to the re
mark referred to, lor which I presume you
hold yourself measurably accountable, it
having been admitted into your columns un
der your particular inspection.
In looking over your papers of December
31st, and January 7th, I was highlv gratifi
ed in perusing the extracts from the Iter.
Mr. Finney's Lectures on the Prayer of
Faith, until I came to his sixth proposition, I cold, heartless, vague, indefinite prayers.

answer, "No: for that is not a thing accord-; thrust ourselves into the presence of the
ing to the will of God. It is directly contra- ! Almighty, praying for every thing and any
ry to his revealed will." tk; r. u a-.- ....
Now, Sir, as you have admitted these re- ! th,nS-for absurdities, irrationalities, and
marks into your columns, will you have the impossibilites. To find specific objects, he

was it that men might no longer be blinded
to their 6uls' best interests, but improve
that rich provision which God had made in
the gift of h'n Son, in that he had tasted
death for every man.
We are also told that whosoever will may
come. I am therefore constrained to believe
that God has designs of mercy for all, and
it only remains that our wills be swallowed
up in the will of God, that all may be saved ;
for which, until 1 am better convinced, I
hope I may be permitted to pray in faith for
all men, hoping and. trusting that it is in ac

You have bidden us go forward, brethren,
and our first step, in obedience to that bid
ding, has brought us to your doors. We

During th last year of our labors the
buTden of . this - undertaking has rested
mainly on the State of New York. Its
sixty thousand Baptists, were they able,
are not entitled, to monopolize the honor
and the, reward of'this good work. The
object is one consulting. the common good

become known as the, sent of doubt and in

consent to sacrifice their pastors, in order

Our chinches also must.be prepared to

and place by them to be mentioned: Dr.
Bates of Middlebury, Dr. Wheeler of Bur
lington, E. C. Tracy of Windsor, John
Smith of St. Albans, Jacob Collamer of
Royalton, Hadley Procter of Rutland,
Samuel Prentiss of Montpelier, Charles
Walker of Brattleboro' I. D. Farnsworth

on this subject, in Vermont, more than to
make a noise and puff out swelling reso

ject, to leave much confidence in future at-
County Temperance Convention.
At the Rutland County Temperance
Convention, held at Rutland on the 5th ol
March, 1 835, a committee was appointed
by that body, whose duty it should be to
call another temperance convention when
ever they should deem it expedient. This
committee have decided to call a conven
tion, to be held at the Congregational meeting-house
in Brandon, on the second
Tuesday of March, to commence at 10
o'clock A. M.
The Temperance Societies of the dif
ferent towns in the county are requested
to appoint delegate? at their "simultane
ous meetings," or at any other convenient
time, to attend said convention.
At a meeting of the friends of Temper-
i ance, from different parts of the county,
The Brandon Anti Slavery Soci

at the East School House, in this Aillage,
on Monday evening next, commencing
at 6 o'clock.

propound some questions. And
1. Is the prayer of faith lost ?
Let the Savior answer. On this point his
teaching is explicit and full. " Ask, and ye
shall receive." " And whatsoever ye shall
ask in myjiame, that will I do." " What
things soever, ye desire when ye pray, be
lieve that ye receive them, and ye shall hare
them."
2. Can there be faith icithoitt evidence?
No. Then there is only one other question.
H. 7a- there evidence that all men vill be
tared I If i4 W. M." says there is, we are at
issue, and the proof must be brought forward.
But as he has said no such thing, we w ill
not stop here to set up a man of straw, for
He ha. how-
imeti croipel wc bid vou freely eie. And
as the stewards of your God, for al! the
wealth, influence, an talent that belongs
t you, wo ask voh, brethren, will vou
suffer the American Baptist Home Mis
sion Society to hive but one hundred Mi
sionaries, when the churches already
planted need well-nigh three thousand, to
supply pobts now vacant, and the fields in
viting us might well employ as many
more) At the least estimate, shall one
hundred do tha work of four t!nuSind?
Shxll thc Society, that I mars your nauiv
any longer creep along the shore, timidly
will that all men should refrain from mur
der. Bui do they ? To conclude, that be
cause God has benevolent desires towards all
men, therefore we are in duty bound to pray
for all, is to advance a non sequitur. It no
appearing from the able pen of Wm. Ladd j Press that BERIAH GHEEN, formerly
of Maine, General Agent of the American j of this town, now President of the Oneida
Peace Society, over the signature of il Phi- Instkute, has accepted an i ii x itiition to at-
lanthropisf" which will appear at the con
clusion. More would have been said on this
subject editorially, from time to time, but for
these instructive articles from one altogeth
er better acquainted with the subject than
we are, or perhaps ever shall be. War is
one of the greatest national follies one of
the greatest national scourges one of the
greatest national sins. It is evil, and only
evil sinful, and only sinful.
As to the matter now pending between this
nation and France, to give an opinion at this
time as to the issue, is at best only to guess.
Our views of the measures pursued in the
present administration towards France, are
founded in no prejudice or personal pique
either for or against any political party. A
disposition for war is equally lamentable,
whether discovered in President Jackson,
Ex-President Adams, or any other man of
influence. If we mistake not, Mr. Adams a
year ago, made a move in Congress for the
support of the measures then recommended
by the President. Those measures were al
together more violent than what he has now
recommended. Let men be consistent. Let
those who oppose war, oppose it in John
Q,uinry Adams, equally as in Andrew Jackson.
We deprecate the whole business of war.

It is anti-Christian. It is inhuman. It is
brutish. Christians at war ? What ! disci

lifeless, then each ransomed spirit embrace
the other, and fly away together on angels'
wings, into the presence of the God of Peace?
Christians, look at it ! Imagine two Chris

deadly encounter. Six months ago the com

Who ever uttered the following prayer in
faith? " O Lord, save all men." If such a
prayer never could bejnade in faith, there is
no propriety in saying that it ought to be
that it is duty to make it.
This doctrine being true, it does not, as a
matter of course, lay those who believe it
under obligation to point out, reckon up, and
al destruction of the bodies which are the
work of his hands.
While devils rejoice and angels weep,
will not Christians mourn and pray over this

The publishers are encouraged by the
flattering reception and extensive circula
tion of the Magazine for the year past, to
prosecute the work with renewed assidu
ity; and with a constant desire to fulfil the
promise made in the outset of the work.
We intend to "stick to our text; and to
serve those who have so liberally cheered
us with their kind patronage, with what
is useful and pleasant."' The Utile et
dulec shall still be our object and aim.
We do not presume to instruct the veteran
and erudite scholar who has spent thirty
or forty years in his study nor to lay
open those hidden mysteries of nature
which have escaped the ken of the most
inquisitive, fsor do we expect to approach

In Chester, 25th ult. Mr. S AMCEL JoHHSON,
aged 58 years. He left the world rejoicing
in the triumphs of faith.
In Huntington, on the 11th ult; Mrs. Lu
cinda, wife of Mr. George Small, in the 45th
year of her age leaving a disconsol
panion and five children to mourn her irrep
arable .oss. She commanded the love and
esteem of all who knew her. She was a
member of the Baptist Church in that place
a number of years, and gave good satisfac
tion to the Church; and to tbe comfort of
her friends and a numerous circle of acquaint
ance, and to the consolation of her own soul, J
sne aiea m the triumphs ot me innstian
faith. Communicated
structive to a portion of our readers, and
not considered wholly unimportant to lit
erary men. Wre consider the whole Uni
ted States as our field, though not ours ex
clusively; and we ask the favors of persons
of taste and science, to communicate im
portant facts, and natural scenes & works
of art, for the benefit of all our friends.
As republicans we feel that we ure of the
same family as those in theLSouth and in
the west as friends of improvement or
good morals and good learning, we wish
also to be considered of the same family.
Ifwe can do anything by our labors to
increase and strengthen this sentiment and
feeling, we shall be ready to do the work.
We would call the attention of our pres
ent subscribers to the terms of the Maga.
zine, and to the notice in our last number
relating to the subject. It is very impor
tant for us to know who propose to con
tinue taking the Magazine, and to reccire
the very small sum charged for it in ad
vance. " George G. Smith, Agent
