f HIS article has been theroughly tested by

.F builders, Architects, and others, and the

experience of years has proved it to be the

cheapest and most durable roofing in use.

We call attention 'to the following facts :

lst—‘It is fire and water proof. .

2d—From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.

3d—It is adapted to all kinds ’of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the. case with metal and
other roofs. , .

4th—-—Thc cost is only about One-Half that
of Tin, and it is twice as durable. , ,

It is readily applied to Old Shingle. Roofs,
without removing the shingles, which 18. a

to‘risk having their ceilings and furniture ru~

Leaky ’Tin and Metal Roofs are readily re-
paired with Gutta Pcrcha Cement, and

‘ prevented from further corrosion and‘loaking

thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight root
for many years. ,

May the world smile kindly on her.
Bencdictiona fall upon her,
Angela be her guard of honor,
As she goes
Through this world of ours, singing,
Peace to troubled spirits bringing,
No grief her pure heart wringing
With its woes. I
May the sweetest harp in heaven——
Brightest crown that era was given,
Where the waves of life are driven
Past the throne—
Echo to her dainty finger,
'Pon her purebrow ever linger,
While each‘ angel be a singer,
Calling home!

A S E R M O N
FOR THE TIMES.
Preached at the M E. Uh arch, New Canaan,

002372., on Friday the 29th of March, by
RM. 0. B. Ford.

Psanns 83, 1—5 verscsz—“Keep not thou
silence, 0 God ; hold not thy peace and be not
still, 0 God. For lo, thine enemies make o'tu.
mull, and they that hate thee have lifted up the
baud. They have taken crafty counsel against
thy hidden ones. They hate said, Come and
let us cut them of from being a nation, that
the name of 13er may be no more in remem-
brance. They have consulted together saith one
consent; they are confederate against thee."

 

The occasion of this Psalm seems to have
been a dangerous conspiracy of divers na-
tions against Judah. We find here an enu-
meration of what these had already done,
and what they still further purposed to do.
They had “made a tumult"—»“ lifted up the
head," i. c. become proud, scornful and inso-
lent; they had “taken crafty counsel," and
now their plots being formed, they say open-

a nation.“ ‘ “They are confederate" for this
purpose, or united in a league to effect it.

Against these artful devices, the author of
this Psalm appeals to God, in behalf of Isra-
el, praying the Most High not to keep si-
lence nor to hold His peace. ‘° Persecute
them,” saith he, “with thy tempest,and make,
them afraid with thy storm. Fill their faces
with shame. Let them be confounded and
troubled forever, you, let them he put to
shame and parish; that men may know that
thou whose name alone is Jehovah, art the
Most High over all the earth."

This Psalm was probably composed du-
ring tho reign of Jehoshaphat,king of Judah.
And now if we turn to the IWentietli chapter
of the second book of Chronicles, we shall
find that the children. of Mosh. the children
of Amman. and the children of Mount Sier,
-,(all of which, with others are mentioned in
this Psalm) “Came against Jehoshaphat to
battle.“ The king, instead of relying solely
on the wisdom and valor of the nation, “ set
himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a
fast throughout all Judah. And Judah

the Lord.“ Then Jebashaphat stood in the
conércaation and cried to. the God of Hemi-
ca, He acknowledged the Most High as the
Sovereign Ruler of all kingdoms, and as
possessing power and might so that none
could' withstand Him, He continued also
that as a people they knew not what to do;
but “our eyes,” saith be, “are upon thee. 0
our God, wilt not thou judge those our cae-
mics ‘3" That prayer entered Jehovah's ear,
and presently the response came, “Thus
saith the Lord, be not afraid nor dismayed
by reason of these} ior the battle is not
yaurs but God‘s. Believe in the Lord your

‘ God,_so shall ye be established ; believe Iiis

prophets so shall ye prosper." And now
pause a moment to witness the result of
that conspiracy, as recorded by the sacred
pcuman. “ The children of Ammou and
Moat», stand up against the inhabitants of
Mount Sier, utterly to slay and to destroy
them, and when they had made an end of
the inhabittnits of Sier, every one helped to
destroy another. And when Judah came to~
wards the watch tower in the wilderness
they looked unto 11.1.9 multitude and behold
they were dcgcl bodies fallen to the earth and
nose escaped"
History seems wisely designed to teach
nations, as well as individuals, lessons of
wisdom, and if we will, we may be profited
by the portion to which I. have now called at-
-teu‘,ion. For I think it will require no very
acute perception to discover at least a resent.
blance between the present condition of our
own nation, and that of the kingdom of J u-
dah at the time to which we have referred._
Are the enemies of Judah charged with
making a tumult? What a tumultuous cry
has been ringing in our ears for months that
are passed. And not only has there been a
clamor of words, but the industry of the
people has been assailed and business of ev-
ery kind laid prostrate. Did Judah‘s foe
“-ltjfl up the head if" Behold the haughtlness
and insolencc of those who have made this
tumult l They have defied the authority of
our mighty government, and loudly boasted
that our fields should be laid waste, and our
flourishing villages and cities left without
inhabitant. Already they have boldly plun-
dered our Arsenals, Mint and public Treasu-
ry. They have seized uponvcsselaanddxrts,
imprisoned officers of our government for
doing their sworn - duty, and even.
trampled our glorious flag in the dust be-
llelllll. their feet. Was there “crafty counse ”
taken against Jehoshaphat and hiskingdoui?
From the public confession of some, occu-
pying the most favorable position for obtain;
ing certain knowledge of what they ailirm,
it 1.:th evident that this tumult is not the
excitement of the moment. Secret organiza-
tions have long existed, which ambitious
politicians have ruled with “crafty counsel.”

 

With wily arts they plotted for the subver-

‘ mean wisdom, nevertheless confesses, as did

ly, “Come and let us cut them oil from being ,

gathered themselves together to ital: help of .

we may justly make.

Under these circumstances one hasK
been placed at the head of our nation,
who, though acknowledged by his follows
to be a man of integrity and of no

the king of Judah, “ we know not trhat to do."
Hence, when about to leave his quiet home,
to assume the responsibilities of the position,
to which he had been called by his confiding
countrymen, we hear him earnestly entreat—
ing his friends and acquaintances to join
with him in seeking “ wisdom from, above
which is profitable to direct.” Hence, his re-
quest for the prayers of the _ nation, which
met so hearty a response on the day of his
inauguration.

To day we are assembled in the house of
God by invitation from his Excellency, the
Governor of our Commonwealth. He tells
us in his Proclamation, that “events which
have recently transpired, furnish evidence
that we are in danger, and fears are enter-
tained for the peace and prosperity of the
nation, and for the stability of our institu-
tions." 5‘ That such dangers may be avert- .
ed,” says he, “ I recommend the citizens of
this Commonwealth to look unto the God of
Israel for help, and especially that on this
day they seek Him by Fasting, Humiliation
and Prayer, and commend the interests of
our beloved State and Country to His pro-
tecting care.”

' Prayer is a daily duty enjoined upon all
men everywhere. Fasting is equally a Chris-
tian duty. But though clearly enjoined un-
der the New Testament dispensation, nopar-
ticular time has been designated which
should be set apart for this. Hence I am in-
clined to the belief that it was pot designed
as a regular duty; but rather to be observed
under extraordinary circumstances, when,._
1.9211", in view of dangers threatened, or unu-
sual blessings desh’ed, we should thus seek
unto God.

But while we consider fasting a religious
duty, let us not suppose that this alone will
avail with God. To be ofsny benefit it must
lead to self-examination, that we may see,
deplore and forsake our sins. And here let
me remark that while God may sometimes
try the righteous as he did upright Job, to
give to others the benefit of their example in
clinging to him in adversity; still whenever
calamity of any kind overtakes us, either as
individuals, communities or nations, it be-
comes as to search and see if there is not a
cause.

Has any one been ready to ask, “Why
were the children of Ammon, Moab, and
Mount Sier permitted to form a conspiracy
against Judah and trouble the people whom
God had siguaily favored? Let me point
you to their history, during the reign of Je-
hoshaphatgto go back no further in search of
their iniquity. When first elevated to- the
throne, the king “sought to the Lord God of
his fathers, and walked in his command-
ments.“ “Therefore the Lord established
the kingdom in hishand, and he waxed great
exceedingly.” Bat sad to relate, when
through the blessings of heaven he had ob-
tained riches and honor in great abundance,
he went and “joined aflnity with Ahab,”that
wicked king ruling over the ten tribes of
Israel. And when Ahab proposed an act
of injustice and cruelty against the inhabi-
tants of Ramoth-gilead, and asked Jehosh—
apliat, “ Wilt thou 90 was me I” he, qfter
having «it to (befall of Hubcap and oxen, re-
pi'li‘ed, “1am on thou art, and any people as
thy people, and we will be with thee in the tour."
WhenJchoshaphat was returning home from
that unsuccessful contest, .a Prophet wont
out to meet him,and said to the king, “Should-
eat than M the ungodly, and love them that
hate the Lord! therefore is wrath upon that
from before the Lord.” Mark that, my Chris-
tian brother; for it is as certainly addressed
to you, an individual as it was toJehosophat
the representative of Judah, “Shouldest thou
help the angrily,” etc.

Afier their alliance with iniquity, came this
trouble and tumult upon Judah, which drove
the people back to God, and, extorted
the cry, “Keep not thou silence, O God, hold
not thy peace,“ etc. Thus would we, in our
trouble, cry to-day. And if this temporal
calamity, which has come upon us, has
been sent as a just punishment for our ini-
quities, as I confess I honestly fear, then, if
this shall drive us back to God; lead us to
humble ourselves, confess and forsake our
sins, I trust the counsels of the wicked, shall
be brought to naught, and “they that devise
evil devices shall be taken in their own net,
and fall into their own pit.” .

It is well for us, then, to-da‘y, with all hu-
mility and sincerity, to ask for the cause of
the danger, which our most excellent Gov-
ernor declares now threatens us. Some,
whose delicate nerves will scarcely allow
them to utter what their enlightened con
sciences declare to be truth, may stand ready
to confess that we have deserved all this, in
view-of the national pride we have indulged
and because multitudes have run to excess
in drunkenness, debauchery and such like.
All this I freely admit. But itis useless to
attempt to conceal the real bone of present
contention. Look at this trouble from what-
ever standpoint you may, an enlightened,
truthful conscience will compel you to ad-
mit,t hat Slaveryé-the degrading of human lic-
ings, made in the likeness of Jehovah, to the
condition of mere brutes or chattels, is the
real cause. For, even those who claim, (as I
think unjustly,) that the lovers of Freedom
have brought this evil upon the nation, must]
admit, that liaduone evbr . been7doome'd "to‘
bear moi-yoke ' of 4‘ bondage in our
land, the dangers which now threaten us
would never have been known; and Were it
possible to emancipate every slave to-day,‘
who does not believe that quiet and harmo-

 

thc judgment. But since nations, as such,
only exist upt'm the earth, we believe that
judgment will be mected out to them here.
Hence national sin, unrepented of, must nec-
essarily bring national calamity of some kind.
God has seen fit to punish the wickedness
of some by pestilence, some by earthquake
and fire, and some he has, doomed to the
chastisement of their fellow-men.

But perhaps just here it may be well to
call- attention to the fact, that those whom
God employs to scourge or chastise a sinful
nation,may be even worse rebels against Him,
than are those they afflict; and they in turn
are- to suffer for their iniquities. If you wish
for an illustration, we have a very pertinent
example in the case of those who occasioned
such a tumult in the days of J ehosaphat,
king of Judah. God’s people had sinned,
and richly deserved to suffer the trouble and
perplexity which Ammon, Morab and Mount
Sier caused them. But though they repent-
ed, and escaped their threatened doom, those
who were “confederate” against them were ut-
terly destroyed. And still further, let me
remind you that prosperity has often atten-
ded evil doors, for a while; until, as if wore,
they became fully ripe for destruction.—
Read, if you will, the twentieth chapter of
the Book at Judges, and you will see that
though the tribe of Benjamin had commit-
ted a very heinous crime, for which, the
Lord directed the other tribes to go against
them in battle; yet when four hundred
thousand warriors of Israel attacked twenty-
six thousand of Benjamin, the latter were at
first victorious, and slew of Israel on

the first day, twenty two thousand
men, and on the second, eighteen
thousand. But on the third day, Israel

,was victorious, and cut ofi‘ the whole tribe
of Benjamin, except six hundred men, who
fled to the wilderness unto the rock Kimmon.
But I fear I am detaining you too long
from the important consideration which I
wish to bring before you to-day, and, if pos-
sible, impress upon every heart. It is that,
the. cry of the oppressed has been heard in heav-
en, and He, who hath said, “ Vengeance is mine,
I will repay," hath risen up to atenge their
cruel wrongs.
It is useless to say that we bear not the
oppressor‘s rod, and hence are guiltless. We
are part and parcel of a great nation, whose
skirts are bathed in human blood. I am not
ignorant of the fact, that Slavery, for the
most part, is the creature of State legisla-
tion, and not subject to Federal authority
Still who does not know that men represen-
ting our government in its various depart-
ments, have, like king Jehosaphat, joined
affinity with wicked and cruel task masters;
and after feasting upon their dainties, have
been ready to say, “I am as thou art, and
those I represent shall stand by and support
whatever you desire." Hence the most ob-
noxious “fugitive Slavc Law“ is forced upon
a people, whose consciences forbid obedi-
ence thereunto.
And then what scoffs and sneers have been
heaped upon the heads of those who have
had the courage to confess that the authori-
ty of God is superior to the authority of man.
Just as though the doctrine of a “Higher
Law” was an invention of the present age.—
Shadracli, Mcshacli and Abednego, recog-
nized it, more than two thousand years ago,
when proud Nebuchadnezzar set up his
golden god, in the plain of Data, and com‘
manded all to fall down and worship it,
under penalty of being “the same hour cast
into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."—
Dauiel obeyed it, when Darius issued the
royal “decree, that whosoever should ask
any petition of any God or man, for thirty
days, save of himself, should be cast into
the den of lions." In later days, the Apos-
tles of our Lord, when commanded by mag-
istrates to do what their consciences forbade;
boldly and nobly answered, Whether it be
right in the sight of God, to hearken unto
you more than unto God, judge ye, For We
cannot but speak the things which we have
seen and heard.” This acknowledgement
of a “Higher Law“ has given to the Church
her confessors and martyrs in all ages.—
And, if in the future, the time shall ever

over Divine; may God in mercy spare me
from beholding it.

I have said that as a nation, we are guilty;
and guilty if for mother reasons, because
men, whom we have placed and sustained
in high official positions, have encouraged
the oppressor both by word and deed.—
This you will readily admit, is no new doc-
trine. - Turn to the example we have had
before us in connection with our text.—
There is no probability that all the inhabi-
tants of Judah approved the amnity of their
king with Ahab. Nevertheless the wicked-
ness of Jehosaphat, who, by his official au-
thority represented the nation; provoked
God to anger and brought temporal calamity
upon the whole people,—those who appro-
ved his act, and those who condemned‘it,
being compelled to sufi'er because of it.

Aguin,turn back to the time whanavid was
king. “And Satan stood up against Israel
and provoked David to number the people.”
Gdh was greatly displeased, and sent apes-
tlierige, “and therefell of Israel, seventy
thoufiand men." Why did God do this, if he
do‘és not hold nations responsible for trans-
gressions of those who rule over them ?—
Hear the confession of David:. Is it not I
that commanded the people to be number-
ed? even I it is that have sinned, and done
evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what
have they done?

So again, when Israel waged a war, of
almost utter extermination, against one of
their tribes; the whole of Benjamin had not
actually committed the heinous sin against

with vain words, for because of these things.
conietli the wrath of God upon the children
of disobedience. Be not ye therefore par-
takcrs with them.“ “Have no fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness; but
rather rcprovc them. . Keep thyself pure" in
word and in deed.

While I would be far from counseling any
direct interference with Slavery, by those
who conscientiously believe the system, as
it exists in certain portions of our land, to be
all wrong; still I am sure that no man who
conscientiously differs from such, can object
to their simple, earnest prayers, that God
may break the yoke ofthe oppressor and
set the captive free. For, if this system is
right, as many now profess to believe, then
most certainly they have nothing to fear, in
view of all the prayers which may be offered
for its destruction. God will not grant an
unrighteous request. He can never be bribed
to do an act of injustice; though he sufl‘cr
long, the transgressions of the wicked. We
would say then, to those who have some-
times allowed themselves to be disturbed,
because some, when they pray, “remember
those in bonds, as bound with tliem;" be
quiet and calm: God rules.

Suppose the Anti-Sabbatarians should
pray God, day after day, to overthrowjhe
institution of the Sabbath; think you that
those who really believe the Sabbath to be of
Divine appointment, would tremble for its
security, or be incensed against such because
of their prayers? They might pity their
folly; but would have no fears of their suc-
cess.

Perhaps I ought to give a passing notice
to the objection, which is so frequently
urged, against any in. this vicinity, condem-
ning Slavery, because, forsooth, we were
once in the same condemnation. If this be a
valid objection, then I would ask, who shall
be allowed to denounce evil of any kind ?—
Paul must never utter a word against bigot-
ry; for he once persecuted the Church of
Christ ;—he must never condemn the most
vile blasphemy; for, by his own confession,
he was a blasphemer of our Lord. Who
does not know that many of the most holy,
were once base sinners against God! But
now, having been saved from those abom-
inable transgressions; have they no right
to speak in condemnation thereof?

But I must hasten to call attention to other
subjects which claim our prayers to-day.-~
If we truly repent of our sins, and are hearti-
ly determined to forsake them, let us ear-
nestly pray:

(a). That God may bring to naught the coun-
sels ofthose who plot against 118. In the sincer—
ity Qfour souls, let its cry. "Keep not than at”
lence, 0 God; hold not thy peace and be still,
0 00d."

Doubtless some would be ready to charge
us with cherishing a vindictive spirit, should
we offer a prayer for the destruction of those
who are openly arrayed against this people.
But, there are circumstances when I fully
believe the authority of Scripture would
warrant such a prayer, and, as Christians, we
aim not to be wibc or holy above ,what God
hath written. Hear David, the man after
God’s own heart, when he prayed to be dc~
livcred from the hands of the wicked who
plotted against him without cause. “Let
their table become a snare before them; let
their eyes be darkened that they see not.—
Pour out thine indignation upon them; and
let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.—
Let their habitation be desolate and let none
dwell in their tents. Destroy, O Lord, and
divide their tongues, for I have seen violence
in the city." Tell me not this was the spirit
of the Old Testament, which has been super-
seded by that of the New. Hear Paul, “Al-
exander the coppersmith did me much evil,
the Lord reward him according to his works.”

“God shall smite thee, thou whitcd wall.”
Hear Peter, “1713/ money perish with thee."—
“But,” says one, “does not the Bible demand
that when smitten on one check, I should
turn the other, also." Most certainly it does.

,But do not forget that appealing to God

against wrong-doors, is a very different
thing from avenging the wrong by your own
hand.

There Would not, of necessity, be connect-
ed with such a prayer, a vindictive spirit.—
But as one has remarked, “it may be the evi-
dence of a generous sympathy with man-
kind; of a finely educated conscience."

Who'can read or hear of a horrid murder
being perpetrated, and not feel that the mur-
derer ought to be punished? Who read
the account of the massacre of Christians in
Syria without feeling that those brutal assas-
sins ought to die ? Was that feeling prompt-
ed by a spirit of revenge? Not it the least.
We had not been injured, in our persons or
possessions. But there was the feeling of
compassion for the sufferings,andrighteous in-
dignation,becausc of outraged justice. This
is not wrong. Now, what is the feeling,—
the instinct of ouf natures when men rise up
to overthrow and destroy this government—
a government which has secured such ines-
timable blessings to ourselves and our fellow-
mcn? Is it not that treason ought to be pun-
ished, traitors and conspirators ought to die .9—
Aud if such a feeling be right, wherein con-
sists the wrong of expressing the desire to
God for their punishment? Who would
think that you or I exhibited an uncliristian
spirit should we appeal to proper legal au-
thority for the punishmont of a thief or a
murderer? Why, then, may we not, with
the same spirit, appeal to God to execute
judgment and justice upon those who are
guilty of the highest crime against man, but
who are beyond the reach of human tribu-

nals ‘9
Perhaps some one has been ready to ask,

“If we admit our present calamity to be

 

punishment for national transgression, it we

whenever in the execution of His righteous
government He sees fit to remove, in ameas-
are, this restraint so that men give open vent
to their rage, they are not the less guilty,
even though He employ that wrath for the
punishment of other transgressors’.~

(1)). Finally, let us especially pray to day
that God may give courage and wisdom to
our rulers, that they may stand boldly forthe.
right, and rule in the fear of the Most High.
Says the Executive of our State, “ we are in
danger of relying too much on the wisdom
of man; in danger of taking counsel of our
own fears." Many doubtless have great
confidence in the wisdom of those they have
assisted in placing at the head of our nation.
But are we not ever in danger of attributing
to our friends more wisdom than they actu‘
ally possess? Let us not forget that those
have no precedent by which to be guided-—
sucha state of afi‘airs‘was never known be~
fore. On the one hand, is heard a clamor for
the faithful execution of the laws of the
land; on the other, threats of increased re-
bellion, with all the horrors of civil war, if
this is attempted. Surely, “whois sudicient
for these things i” Solomon would still need
the guiding counsel of the Lord. And for
this, in behalf of our rulers, let us earnestly
pray. Pray that God may enable them to
do justice, though the Heavens fall. Pray
that they may not join affinity with evil,even
though temporary quiet could be obtained
thereby. Pray that they may. raise high the
standard, bearing this Heaven inspired mot-
to, “FIRST rune, TEEN Pnacnacull”

In conclusion, let me entreat you, my
hearers, to act well your part. Be firm in
your adherence to the right, and trust the
result with Him who seeth. the end from the
beginning.
