This is the third volume of the series of Dr. Cumming1 s works which Messrs. Lindsay & Blakiston have undertaken to re-produce in thii opyytijy1 The reputation of Dr. Cumm ing aa one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of the pulpit orators in London, has spread “through all the churches,” and all his print ed (iiSeourru are read with as much eager ness as they are heard by the people who sit under bis preaching. He publishes them in the hope that “what was useful to a congre gation may be useful to the Church at large.” These lectures on Christ’s miracles are char acteristically bofll, eloquent, and energetic, and are calculated to make a serious impres sion. In the main, they will doubtless be ac ceptable to Teligious minds of every religi ous denomination, but we notice here and there passages to which many readers in this country will take strong exception: as, for example, the following, which is an extract from the lecture on “Water made Wine” in Cana of Galilee:— “It Ha* been objected bvone of the German infidels, that our Lord did not show a deep sense of the danger of wine when he created at tKw feast so excessive a quantity—some hundred gallons—by an act of omnipotent power. Would not this objection apply to every vintage? If God gives a plenteous vin tage you would not say. This is a temptation to men to drink to excess. There was no more temptation to drinking to excess from his filling many large water jars, than in his being pleased to give the sunbeams ami rain drops that make an abundant vintage. 1 he secret of temperance is not in the cellar, but in the heart of the landlord of the wine cellar. A Christian man will not become intoxicated if he drinks from a cask; a drunkard will l»e eooe intoxicated if he driuks from a bottle. It is not in the quantity before you that the element of temperance is, but in ♦he grace of God that has been planted in your hearts. Now it does seem to me, without the least ex pr Osh ion of disrespect toward those who differ from me, that if God had designed that men should be uuiversally what is call teetotal— that is, should not taiste wiue, or auy thing that has the least alcoholic element in it— He would have prohibited the growth of the vine, and rendered fermentation absolutely impossible; because if there were no fermen tation there could be no alcoholic elenieut generated. But He has not done so; lie does give the vintage, and He does give the fruit of the vine; lie has created fermentation just as truly as He has created vegetation; therefore it does seem to me that temperance ie to arise, not from the alienee ot wine, but from the presence of Christian principles: and that we are to be sober because it is a Chrietan duty, and not by insulation from all the elements for being the reverse. It does appear to me that character is perfected, not by being placed beyond the reach ot tempta tion, but by being placed within the reach of tt. And there gloriously triumphing by the gr** of God over all its suggestions and its temptations. . . It is remarkable, (and I submit it to tho.se who differ from me) that our Lord ministered not to supply, as you preeeive, a necessity, but to add an enjoyment. I admit teetotalism him done much good, and l recognize the perfect liberty of every man to adopt it woo ts satisfied that it will do good. 1 would not •aj one word against the teetotal society, be cause they have done good, and I pray that they may do more: hut while they claim the lihArtv of holdiucr their sentiments, 1 must not shrink from the duty of expounding what is plainly God's word. * * * if I could, 1 would make every man sober: but iny prescription, if you will allow it, is not a mechanical chauge, but a moral revo lution in the unregenerated and unsanctified heart. “But there is danger," you say, in wine. So there is, and there is danger in other things; there is danger in tampering with the word of God: there is danger in reading the bible in the light ot teetotal ism, instead of reading teetotalism in the light of the Bible; for we may depend upon it. wlien 6Y0 257 do 200 1 do 3,000 Ac., Ac., Ac.
