THE MONONGALIA MIRROR. Hdtgiuusanbittoral. READING THE SCRIPMUES. We huve labored for several years, to in duce our minisipring brethren to adopt a course of expository preaching in their re spective pulpits, but we fear with very lit tle mccess. They surely have more or lesa of those in their promiscuous assemblies who hardly ever look into the scriptures, anil in. large congregations, members who a very imperfect knowledge of. them, and sume nhockmgly ignorant among their church members. It seems highly desirable that these people should be helped ont of their present condition, if possible, and not be left with their imperfect notions, to be en tangled in tho snares of Universalis and other heretical errorisis. Ilow it is to be done, as they enjoy little benefit from expository precching, we are not able ,'to conceive, unbss by the public reading of the scriptures for bey ond what is common in most of our congregations.? A short Psalm perhaps, or part of a chapter in the Old or New Testament, is all that is heard' in somo of our assemblies on Lord's day. Atj to any real advantage this, to per sons such as wr have named, it amounts to ?very little, and in our humble opinion, there is loud call for reform. In entire chapter is) never too much in the public service* of the sanctuary; and in most instances, parts Of severiu'ehapters. having a bearing on each other, might be se lected and read with greatibenefn and edifi cation to all. Reading the scriptures is clearly a part, and an important pert, of di vine worship. " Give attention to reading." was a direction of (ho great Apostle?and this was manifestly the public reading of the holy (Criptures. And as God's word, it (has a pre-eminent claim to our regard, and the sermon of no man shnnld push it aside. The proper reading of the scriptures, with the elocution that shall oonvey the sense, will always engage special attention from any religious assembly. It is as good as a commentary, and swett and refreshing as the droppings of the sanctuary to the dis ciple of Jesus. How often has language like this been heard from thia one, and that one, on returning from the sanctuary?"how interesting and edifying'was the reading^ of the scriptures byj that minister to-day,; it was really worth a long walk, only to hear him reac) the Bible.'' And from some, com mendation like this: "Threading of the Jible to-day was very impressive, and sug gested new thoughts to the mind. The ser mon was excellent, but the reading of the scriptures was quite as beneficial." These remarks are only a slight specimen of what is repeatedly uttered, when a good reader is heard reading from the desk, the saore ora ?cles. I.et there be much more reading then and far better reading of God's holy book ia the public services of the sanctuary, than we have been accustomed to henr, unless expository preaching shall render it unneces sary.? title York Baptist Register. Female Prayer meetings. We bdittt Ibat '''s perfectly proper far pious MMles to take a part in pro And every pastor knows that the fervent ?prayer, and modest humble exhortation of1 the sisters in the churches adds not a little! 1o their interest. There are those how ns among the most important instrumental > itieifor the promotion of Christ's kingdom. ?They ought to be regularly maintained in ? every Christian church. Our attention hat keen turned to this *nbject by a simple incident related to us a few days since. While Whitfield was in this country, he visited among other places, a certain town in New England. But he was lot allowed to preach in any hoiia of worship, nor even in an orchard. He turned away, shaking off the dust of his feet against them. For some fifty vesrs the blight of a moral death tested upon the town. There was not a conversion du ring this time. But a few pions females who sighed over the moi?l desolation of the place, resolved to meet for prayer.? The result Wfis, in answer to their prayers <tod poured out His Spirit, and during the revival, scores were converted to God. lffcen, absorbed in getting rich, will notjjjlpnd prayer meetings, let the female jitmTon of the church take encouragement Irom the above example. ever, whocherish doubts upon this subject. ?Soms of these, object to praying in the fe male prayer-meeting, as much as in other meetings. Apt others do not. We have always regtmed female prayer-meetings lit i fed ? A Good Reply?A Sunday School I teacher, instructing; his class on thai por V lion of the Lord's praypr, "Thy will bej ) done on earth as it is in heaven,'' said to them. ' You have told me, my dear chil dren ichat it to bo done, the will of God; \ and ichere it is to be done, on earth; and jtow it is to be done, as it it in htacen.? How do'you'think angels and happy spir ]ils db the will of tiod in heaven, as th?v arrto be our pattern!" The first child replied, "Tltey do it immediately;" the ^|>nd, "They do it //iligentlj/;v the third, "Tp"'y "I0 '? alwayt)" the fourth, "They i ? do it with all their heart;" foe fifth, "They do it altogether." Hepe a pause ensued, am! no chiM appeared to have an answer; TV.Hu! after some time, a little girl arose, and ? said, "Why, fir, they do it tliti . any questions." V General Advertizes n. B.CAHB. VT.
