A compact doctrinal discussion on Holy Baptism, its power to regenerate the Holy Ghost, grant faith, repentance for sins, and unite believers with Christ. It covers infant versus adult baptism, the covenant seal, avoidance of re-baptism, and critiques of Quaker views, with citations to Romans six, Titus, John, and Mark.
A poetic meditation contrasts life’s strife with eternal peace beyond the flood. The speaker envisions on one side toil and loss, on the other side joy, rest, and God’s glory in the city of our God, as believers await the crucified king. The piece concludes with a note from the Christian Observer.
Poem by F. T. Palgrave from Good Words asking Christ for guidance and strength. Seeks help to resist temptation, endure despair, and feel Christ presence amid sorrow. References mercy gate bleeding heart and cross and crown.
The article argues churches must educate pastors to promote giving for missions. It laments ministers' lack of enthusiasm for Home Missions, noting they grasp preaching but ignore the divine science of giving. It calls for pulpit urging and theological training to stress the command to go into all the world.
The passage reflects on the privilege of communion with saints and the joys of heavenly unity. It contemplates the innumerable angels, the general assembly, the church of the firstborn, God the judge, the spirits of righteous made perfect, and Jesus the mediator. It asks what joys will greet the soul beyond sighs and sorrows.
A letter from Catalonia’s bishops warns clergy not to vote for liberty of worship cited in the 77th and 79th propositions of the Syllabus. They pledge to use legal means to remove from Cortes all who back such liberty and to defend religious unity in Spain.
A reflection on friendship as a pillar against sorrow, citing Jesus and Lazarus to illustrate bonds that sustain amid death. The author, Rev Charles Vince, argues friendship offers refreshment and solace, yet death parts even lifelong ties, leaving mourners in darkness.
A devotional reflection on the Christian belief that Jesus prepares a final place beyond life’s troubles. It contemplates the near end of earthly pain and the hope of a higher, better home with Christ.
The text asserts that heaven is prepared by Christ’s presence and by transforming earthly dwelling into a place of true happiness. It notes the future home is beyond human imagination and that loved ones go there with Him, offering comfort amid loss as homes are remade. Church meetings are described as somber, yet faith prompts tribute to missions and shared sacrifice.
A humorous 19th century critique catalogs seasonal fashions and social vices as garments. Affections, honor, generosity, intellect, and policy are personified as wearables, with notes on authenticity, imitation, and market trends. Love appears as a costly suit line, while fraud and shoddy goods threaten shoppers alongside fashionables and orthodox trends.
A fragment argues that much so called prayer serves as a disguise for laziness and stinginess, with men asking the lord to undertake works they should do themselves, turning piety into a mark for avarice.
Newburyport Herald notes a New York pictorial misreads the song Comin in Thre the Rye. It argues the rye is a stream near Ayr Scotland, not grain, and explains the ballad’s verses refer to fording a stream and Jenny getting wet, not a harvest scene.
The piece warns against swearing, calling it cowardly and wicked in God’s sight. It urges youths to avoid oaths as they would theft and to reject the first temptation to swear, arguing that saying even one oath teaches vice’s first letters and harms character.
The text urges Christians to strike roots deep in private prayer to gain unseen strength. It says the faith and grace sought from God in secret will be given in the hour of need, enabling fruitfulness and vigor when faced publicly.
