For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle wer.
dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens. 1 Cor. v. 1.

That we are mortal, and that we are soon, very soon,
to enter the eternal world, is a truth which no individual
of our race has the hardihood to deny. The truth may
have no practical influence upon either the heart or the
life, yet every man admits it, and every man also admits
that it is a truth of the last importance. A truth with
which he ought never to trifle-no not for a moment.
We are met here this morning from different quarters,
and of different ages, and we are all met in one assembly
or the first, and for the last time, on this side eternity. We
were never all assembled before in aiuy one place, and we
will never again all meet in any other place till with our
eyes we shall see the dead small and great stand before
God.
It is our wisdom, not our folly, to have this great and im-
portant fact frequently brought home to our hearts as well
as to our understandings. We are soon to close our eyes
forever upon all the beauties of this lower world.-We
must soon give up to other owners these profitable farms,
and these elegant and commodious dwellings, and these
extensive commercial speculations.. We must soon part
with all these useful and agreeable companions-and these
bodies of ours, so active and so curiously organized, are
soon to be laid in the dust. And where will the soul, the
better part, then be- Shall it wing its way into the re-
gions of bliss-tq the mansions in the slkies-and make one

of the innumerable company who drink of everIstnfi
plcasures- or shall it descend to the blackness and dark-
ness of eternal death-
Among those wise men who, by constantly keeping the
fact of their mortality before them, have made this fact subs
servient to the nohlest of purposes, the apostle Paul holds
a distinguished place. He habitually remembered that ho
-was mortal-and therefore did not comsider any of the suf-
ferings to which he was exposed in the present life, as of
alny great account. "They were but light afflicticns, and
only for a moment. The sufferings of the present life were
mot worthy to be cl mpared with the glory which was to be
revealed." He was mortal-his bodily frame was soon to
be dissolved-but in this dissolution he was not to be the
loser. Suppose I am killed-suppose my body crushed in
the service of my master! What then! "'We know that if
our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we
have a building of God, a house not made with lands, e-
terrial in the heavens."
Should the worst come to the worst--the worit which
can possiibly happen is intimately connected with the very
best thing which God has to bestow. The worst that
the wicked call do to a faithful servant of our Lord, is to
send him to heaven. Iii the very worst possible case the
faithful servant of our Lord has the advantage, as much as
a building of God is beyond a mere tabernacle, or an hea-
verily house is better than an earthly, or that which is 6-
ternal is better than that which may be dissolved.
These bodie s of ours are fearfully and wonderfally made.
The muscular arm-the sparkling eye-the expressive
countenance--the nimble limb-all proclaim their din
vine workmanship. But the whole structure is only tem.
porary. We dwell in houses of clay, whose foindation is
isthe dust; and we are crushed sooner than the votbh

Ever since sin came into the world this beautiful and
apparently strong fabric has been in its best state crazy
and tottering, and the inhabitant has frequently much to
do to keep it in only tolerable repair. It must be daily
proped by food. It must be fenced by raiment from the
injuries of the weather, the very changes of which sensibly
effect it-and the aid of the physician, with the experience
of a thousand years, must frequently be called in. And
yet after all, there is no keeping of it standing beyond a
small number of years. If outward troubles, like so many
storms, do not overturn it-if it is not crushed by the innu-
inerable accidents of the moment-it is but for some pro-
vision to miss its proper channel, or a few drops of blood to
run out of their proper vessel-it is but for some string to
crack by frequent use, or some small passage to be choak-
ed up, or some small portion of the usual food not to pro-
duce the usual effect-and it falls all at once. The dust
returns to the dust as it was, and from the most lovely and
enchanting object, it is in a few hours transformed into the
vilest and most loathsome.
Among the many causes which produce the dissolution of
the fair and stately building-the action of the mind,-the
action of the inhabitant upon the clay tenement, is none of
the least. We have all felt the effects of this action.-
Grief preys upon the animal spirits, makes us forget out
daily and necessary food, and in a few days or months
crushes the whole frame. Intense application of any kind
gives an unnatural impulse to the animal fluids, raises the
pulse to the rapidity of fever, and by beating and beating
on every fibre, soon leaves the whole system a wreck. And
if to these are added great anxiety for the fate of some fa-
vourite object, and a continual vibration betwixt hope and
fear, betwixt the highest joys and the most pungent sor-

Was endowed, unless supported by some tountmtng
principles, will not last long.
And of all the occupations of man, the ministerial oflice,
when sufficiently understood, and entered upon with bee
coming spirit, produces the greatest action ofthe miySupon
the clay tabernacle. Here there is the most intense ap.
plication, for the whole soul is engaged. Arid here the lg-
bour is of such a kind, that all the varieties of hope,
and fears-of joys and sorrows, are continually opera
ting upon the man. And to this point we would pat'
ticularly turn your attention at this time. Arid in illustrao.
ting it, we shall simply glance at a few obvious 1acts-
facts so obvious that it will require very little stretch of
thought to make the suitable application.
Christian friends arnd ellow mortals,-we watch forsouloj
each of whom is of more value than a world-we watch
for those souls for whom the Son of God laid down tis lifeb
Arnd we watch for those souls, ae those who are to give an
account; and who are to account for the loss of souls. at the
peril of the loss of their own souls.
We are the representatives or agents of Jehovah in his
great work of reconciling the world to himself. We are
entrusted in a great measure with the execution of the
most glorious of all God's plans-the plan to which all his
other works of creation and providence are made subsero
Vient..
The final result of our labours can never in any case bd
fmatter of irdiffereice. It iv in every case either a soul
saved, or a soul lust. To one we are rhe savourof-death
Ounto death, aid to the other savour of life unto life. And
'who is sufficient for these things Aod who is ther!, who
1being daily and hourly impressed with a sense of this vast
responsibility, has riot his rnimid agitated with hopes and
fears, with joys and sorrows, far beyond aity thing which
S felt in any of the other departments of buuman life5 The

apostle himself, when he determined to know nothing a-
mong them to whom he laboured, save Jesus and him cru-
cified, was with them in weakness. and in fear, and in much
trembling.
But again. Those souls, for whom we ought to travail
as in birth, are not generally sensible either of their owvn
value, or of their own danger-or of the value and suita-
bleness of the salvation which is offered to them in the
gospel. They weary men, and they weary our God also.
They daily give occasion of grief to those who in some
measure feel for their situation, and they daily grieve
God's good and Holy Spirit. "1Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are
sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy chil-
dren together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens un-
der her wings, and ye would not." "How shall I give thee
up Ephraim how shall I deliver thee Israel how shall I
make thee as Admah how shall I set thee as Zeboim-
Mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kin4-
led together."
And how often are the most flattering prospects of min-
isterial success blasted This or the other individual gives
some evidence of being awakened. The servant of souls
enters with exquisite feelings into all the supposed feel-
ings of the supposed convert. He weeps with him when
he weeps, and he partakes also largely of his joys. But
after a few weeks or months of alternate distress and alter-
nzate joy, lhe returns again to the world. or he sinks down
into a cold and lifeless profession. And the servant of souls
has now to weep by himself, for the object of his grief can-
not enter into his feelings. Hear the declaration of an
apostle, 2Cor. xii. 20, 21. "For I fear, lest, when I come,
I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be
find unto you suqh as ye would not; lest there be dc-
B

bates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperixg
3wellings, tumults: And lest, when I come again, my God
wviJl humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many
which have sinned already, and have not repented of the
uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, w hich
they have committed."
And even with respect to those who in some measure
preserve their first love, and who continue to give some
considerable evidence of having passed from death unto
life, the anxiety of the faithful servant of our Lord Je-
sus is great and permanent. The heart of man is
remarkably deceitful. The adversary of souls is ever
on the alert. The world at large is watching for our halt-
ing. Instances of final apostacy even in those who were
considered the most firmly established are numerous. An
just in proportion as our pleasures and our hopes are high,
when the word has apparently produced the desired eaffect,
will be our disappointment and our mental agony when
facts demonstrate that even in our prosperity the enemy
had only deceived us.
Now, add to all these things-that the man of Gcd, the
faithful expounder of God's word, is a man of reading, a
man of study and close- thinking, a man who, from fidelity
to his master and the souls of men, never attempts to serve
his God with that which cost him nothing.-And add al-
so-that as a man of prayer, he has to wrestle with his-
God in his closet for himself, and his family, and his; flock,
and bis careless neighbours--and that as a christian, he
has to watch over his own heart. deceitful above all thing.
and desperately wicked-and that he is always more or less
reminded, that after lie has preached Christ to others ha
himself may be a cast-away.--Add all these things togeth-
er, and the wear and tear o1 the body by mental exertion
must. be daily and hourly and nightly,, ad always aucb

kiind as admits of very little repair. Against continual
wastes of this kind, the most approved rules to promote
longevity and bodily vigour furnish no defence. The on-
ly rule given in all such cases is, "Remove the cause ;" that
is, cease to discharge ministerial duty with vigour and -
delity.
And yet these are not all. Nor are they in many cases
the kind of mental feelings which are the most destructive
4o our animal nature. The messenger of God's salvation
to fallen man is himself a man. He has all the feelings
and a large share of the infirmities of men. And while he
is himself the object of envy and jealousy, and every mali-
-cious passion, those passions themselves also occasionally
-prey upon his own spirits. See Acts xv. 34-39. and Gal.
ii. 11-14.
He is a man,. and he expects to be supported by his fel-
'low men and fellow christiaas in the faithful discharge of
the important duties of his station. But in cases innumer-
able, and in important cases too, he is left, so far as human
aid is concerned, to stand alone. Nay it is even well, if
those from whom he expected important assistance are not
found in the opposition. See Gal. iv. 12-1 8.
He is a man, and as a man he is a member of civil as
well as of religious society; and as a member of civil socie-
-ty, he partakes more or less of the spirit of the place
where Providence has cast his lot. And from every thing,
whether without or within, wvhich disturbs the peace of the
Tlace, he also suffers, and generally suffers in a manner
peculiar to himself
He is a man, and he has all the honorable feelings of a
.man. He puts a high value upon his character, and this
'character i to him every thing; and yet this character is
frequently by no means respected or appreciated, or de-
flded as he expected it would have been, even by those

who are very far from joining the hue and cry which i,
raised against him.
He is a man, and he has all the relations of a man, end
he is under obligations to perform all the social duties, of
a man. The anxieties of the family, and the affection:s of
the family, and the little jealousies of the family, and She
daily wants of the family, are consequently daily preying
upon his spirits. And from his habits, and from his high
state of moral feeling, and from the rank which he is sup-
posed to hold in society, all these different kind of feeliags
have a more destructive influence upon his animal fra:.ne,
than the very same kind of cares have upon other men, it-
other situations of life.
The general proposition is then, we think, clearly madeF
out-viz.-That of all the occupations of men, the minis5
ierial office, when sufficiently understood, and entered up-
on with becoming spirit, produces the most intense action
of the mind upon the clay tabernacle.
It was under such labours, and under such anxieties,
that the clay tabernacle of our friend, whose death we;
would this day improve, was worn out. Blest with a mind
of the fiust order-having his lot cast under circumstances
peculiarly trying-feeling strongly the obligations under
xwhich he was to have his all devoted to the service of his
master-the earthly tenement was battered down befbre,
in the ordinary language of men, he had half fulfilled his
days. His period of public services was short-his period
of notoriety and successful action still shorter-but from
the hour that he resolved to live, and to serve his God and
'his fellow men, by the energies of his mind, till the lour
that his spirit took its flight to the land of spirits, the ac
tion of his mind upon his body was continued and intense;
and the building was nearly dissolved before the value of
the inhabitant was known, except by a few of those who
were in some dcgree kindred spiri5.

He was from the very commmencement of his studies
a close student-and all that he studied he resolved tho-
roughly to understand. In no case was it enough for hirm
merely to know that such and such was the doctrine
taught, or such and such was the matter of fact. In
every case, and in every step, he thought and examined
for himself-and in many cases in the course of his studies
he carried his enquiries, and made his application of facts
considerably farther than either his author or instructor
had done. Originality was a leading feature in the char-
ecter of his mind.
He entered upon the great work of the ministry under
circumstances peculiarly well adapted for the excitement
of a mind of this cast. The important tract of country
extending from the Allegheny to the Gulf of Mexico was
to be the sphere of his action. He beheld this vast re-
gion filling up with immortal beings. He knew the va-
lue of natural advantages. The fertility of the soil-the
salubrity of the climate-the facilities for internal navi-
gation, of this portion of the country, were duly appre-
ciated by him. He despised not political sagacity. The
wisdom of the legislator-the integrity of the judge-the
valor of the soldier, he well knew were essential to the
prosperity of any country; and with no common joy did
he behold these intellectual and moral talents springing
up among the sons of the west, with a luxuriancy only
surpassed by the productions of their fields and their
forests. But with him all plans of future greatness were
deficient which did not embrace ETERNITY. And with him
the gospel of God's Son, with its regenerating and sancti-
fying influences, was the only thing which could confer du-
rability and happiness upon any association of men. He
beheld, and beheld with no ordinary feeling, that the
means enjoyed for religious and moral improsemcnt were

1II

either of that character nor of that extent which the
wants of such a country required. Nor, without a very
great change in the spirit and conduct of those whose duty
It was to attend to these matters, were adequate means like,
iy soon to be enjoyed. For, whatever may be the fact now,
tbe real situation of this important section of the union, wa
at the time of his entering into the ministry, not known, or
If known, not generally felt, even by those among us -who
were very far from being indifferent to these things.-
That he had at this time pretty accurate eonceptions
of the state of things. and what is more, had an accus-
iate conception of the only remedy, and actually made
some considerable exertions to apply the remedy, it will
be the duty of his biographer to state.
The circumstances, my friends, under which he'endea-
toured, in the strength of his Master, to rear up within
these waBs-"a glorious church-u(to use his own words) a
church composed of spirits ardent as the seraph-pure as
heaven's own cherubim, and lofty as arch angels which
bow before God ;"-these circumstances, and these labour.
and these anxieties, are still fresh before us. Many of them
are also of such a nature that, though my heart is-con.
siderably steeled against feelings of that kind, yet I could
not command myself in attempting any detail But they
are fresh and known; and may they never be forgotten by
Vs. or by any to whom he ministered, till under the influ-
ence of the good and holy Spirit they produce that great.

and all his anxieties.

mony that he lived; that he laboured not in vain.
He lived not in vain.-In the vast assembly which ie
aow before the throne, there are already more than one indi,
vidual, who, in raising and in continuing the song-"worthy
is the Lamb who was slain,"-points to a corner of a pew
in Market-Street church, in which her or his heart was first
led to acknowledge the Lamb's supremacy.
He lived not in vain.-By no means. He has entered
into his rest, and his works shall follow him. The Spirit
shall yet be given-nay, we trust he is already given, to
bring to remembrance many of the warnings and admoni-
tions, and tenders of mercy, which he made to perishing
sinners in the name of his Master. And for many years
yet to come, standing on the portals of high heaven, he
shall welcome into the society of the blessed, "you my fa.

ADDRESS DELIVERED AT HIS INTERMENT,
.May 30, 1820.
CHRISTIAN FRIENDS,
The occasion on which we are assembled
speaks, and speaks loudly to us, and to the inhabitants of
this town-or rather-the God who made us-the God
wvbo preserves us-and the God who is soon to be our
judge, speaks to us through the occasion.
Another of God's messengers of peace is departed-and
is taken from us by his master in the prime of life. The
event itself is a sermon-and no ordinary sermon. May
we attend to it.
Our brother, who frequently addressed us in this house,
and prayed us in Christ's stead to be reconciled to God,
is now taken home, and his dust is to be deposited in this
sacred spot till the resurrection of the great day. He has,
by the will of God, served his generation. We are yet
left in our different stations, and with our different talents
and different opportunities of usefulness. But how soon,
or under what circumstances, we may be.called to follow
him into the eternal world, we know not. Let us occupy
till our Lord come. "The dead praise not the Lord, neither
any that go down into silence: But we will bless the Lord
from this time and for evermore."
Perhaps to every individual present our departed bro-
Iher has, on more occasions than one, made a plain, a di-
rect, and pressing offer of pardon and peace, and eternal
salvation through the blood of the atonement. And to the
most of us, he has made many such offers. And before his
body could be brought to the place of interment, he has
made his return to his Master. He has given in his am
count, and we must in our turn individually give in ours.

The Rev. Benjamin Birge, of the Episcopal Church, at the
age of 25, and who had been only a few months in orders, ha4
died 1st.Rpril. Last Appcal, pa. 90.

Sinner, wilt thou still reject, and reject to thy own ete.
nal destruction, God's offer of peace-Were our depart-
ed brother to address you again, he would just in God's
name say, as he often said, "Why wilt thou die There is
hope in Israel for you. God is in Christ reconciling the
world unto himself, not imputing to them their trespasses.
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so even
is the Son of man lifted up-that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We pray
you therefore in Christ's stead be ye reconciled to God.
Put not away from you the Saviour and his salvation. With
the simplicity of a little child give yourself up to the Sa-
viour. Make direct application to this Saviour, and veri-
ly thou shalt be saved. Reject this Saviour-neglect and
despise the ordinances of the Saviour, and thou must per-
ish."
Sinner, thou art once more warned, and if thou dost per-
ish, thy blood shall be upon thy own head.
Friends of our Lord Jesus-who in mercy were called
from darkness to light-from death to life-or who were
edified and comforted under the ministrations of our de-
parted brother-give thanks to God on his account, and
on your own account. You are to be his crown of joy and
rejoicing in the day of the Lord. In you, and in the mul-
titude whom we trust you will be the means of bringing to
glory, he is to have a full compensation for all the sorrows
and and toils, and distresses of every kind, which he endu-
red, and endured as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. His
warfare was perhaps severe-but it was short. He serv-
ed a good Master-lie wa3 not kept too long in the field.
He is now entered into an eternity of unmixed enjoyment,
as the reward of a few years hard services.
Personal friends of the deceased-The object of your
attention had a heart withou guilc. Your friendship there-

fore was not misplaced. His Master also duly appreciates
all the services and offices of love, which you. performed
to his disciple and servant in the gospel. And this Master
will be in no man's debt. He will fully reward you and
yours even in this life. And only commit your personal
salvation to the same keeping to which your departed
friend at an early period of life committed his personal salva-
tion, and when all earthly friends must stand at a distance,
you will not be without a friend. And that friend will be
the Lord of the happy land into which you shall be admit-
ted.
Personal enemies of the decceased, if any such are pre.
sent-JAMES MCHORD was a man, and a young man, and
he had to deal with men-and it was his lot to deal with
men, sometimes under circumstances peculiarly delicate-
and sometimes also to deal with men who were not always
of the most gentle temper. He may therefore, in some ca-
ses, have given just cause of offence, and of alienation of
affection.
He was a faithful minister of our Lord Jesus Christ.-
He declared the whole counsel of God, and knew of no
compromise betwixt light and darkness, betwixt Christ
and Belial. He never for a moment admitted the princi-
ple that a man might at the same time be a genuine friend
of Messiah, and the servant of the God of this world. He
never flattered. He was consequently, as bis master was,
before him, hated by the world.
But whatever he was when he was himself flesh and
blood, and when he had to deal with flesh and blood, he is
now among the spirits of just men made perfect, and i
himself as perfect as any of them. And he now knows in
all its extent and force, the injunction of our Lord-"Love
your enemies; bless them that curse you; do good to themx
that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you
and persecute yoga And were he now to speak, he would
