Iu this passage it is asserted that the preachers of the gospel rhould be supported because they preached the gospel: also, that such support in temporal things is to be given by those to whom they minister in spiritual things. And this declared to be agreeable to the laws of God,—to bo reasonable—and according to the principle which regulates support in all departments of Inde. Aod lastly, God heth so ordained it. Na lees prettily dons Paul inculcate this duty io writing to the Galatiane, (vi. 6-9.) "Let hire that is taught in tho word, com- municate tb him that Macbeth in all good things." And kat they should deny or neglect thi#duty bo adds, "Be not deceiv- ed; God is not mocked• for whatsoever a man sowetli, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that eowoth of the spirit shall of the spirit reap life ever- lasting." In this passage Paul tells the Churches of Galatia, that the neglecting to communicate in all good things to him that teacheth, is a mocking of God, and that whatever arguments men may employ to excuse their neglect, are only so much .elfdeception—aro a sowing to the flesh, and that the result will be a reaping of cor- ruption. This is the style in which Chris- tiane were spoken to on this subject, and on sone but Chrletians is tho duty incul- cated. Where, in all the New Testament, are nations told that if they do not endow churches, they are resisting an ordinance of God 1—that they are mocking God, and are guilty of solf-deception 1 and aro com- mitting sin!! It is enough now to add here,. that the style of tiro New Testament which con- tains the law of tho gospel dispensation, is unifortn on tins sIibject,—that it is churches and not nations which are commanded to support tho Christian ordinances. And what is enjoined upon tho church, the church is well able to perform. And where there is a willing mind, God, who lovcth a cheerful giver, is able to make all grace abound to him, that he always hav- ing all -sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. (e, Cor. ix. 7, c.)— As a proof that tho Christian people are able to perform fully this duty; tho Com- mittee need only name the United Secession Church—the Independents—the Methodists —the Baptists—the Free Church --.11 Dis- senters of every name—all the Churches in America, and many others. To these may be added the Romaniate in Britain—in ire- lvnd and Americ., if t)dey„ hp • le ,"'^'tee • If in the practical carrying out of this duty there bo met with many instances of short -coming, wo are, from such instances, as little entitled to quarrel with the princi- me, u we would bo to repudiate Chris- tianity, because every Christian does not do'alt that every Christian ought to do.—. And moreover, it is believed that instances of neglecting this duty would bo much fewer than they are, were tbo Christian people divested of tho opinion, that the supporting of tho administration of Christ's Kingdom on earth, is not wholly their duty, but is the duty, in whole or in part, of same other party,—and that party, one, of which the thatch of Christ may Lave no know- ledge. Seeing then that the church is command - cd to support the whole institutions of the gospel,—that tho church is able to perform this service, and that many Christian churches have done it, and many still do it, and do it efficiently: there does not appear any good reason why civil governments, which are no part of tho complement of the church, should be applied to for pecuniary Rid. Without calling in gtlostion the mo- tives of those who apply for such aid, and who accept it, but looking at it as one of CHURCH ESTABLISHMENTS—Paan' OF THE NAGATiVE — BY THE COMMITTEE OF T II E UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA. 1. Jesus Christ hath eo where in bis Word, either directly or by, implication, commanded nations as such, to endow his chinch. It is not therefore their duty, be- cause not enjoined. Not only is there no command to nations as distinct from churches, to make such,appropriation of the public futde, but there is no example of any insired- man in the New Testament claiming such endowments; nor is there any hint of their expecting that at any future time, endowments would bo sought by the church, or accepted, if offered.— National endowments is a subject of which tbey knew nothing, and of which they have said nothing. Tho Committee of the Missionary Synod knew of no arguments n support of national endowments; which are not blled on a defective syllogism, or oe euxpedienc ; but, o� tiietoeAf Ji, R3 ;%net those who hold "them, can never become articles of religious belief. The arguments drawn from the extinct Jewish system are all inapplicable, bo - cause the Jewish dispensation was ono sari generis—bccanee it was local and tem- porary—because it has served its day end is now no more. it was 6 shadow, a type, midis abrogated. Farther, the passages which are quoted from ancient prophecies they cannot admit as proof for national endowments; because, 1st, it is of tho nature of prophecy that it be not clearly understood, till tho event ex - explain it. Peter tells us that prophecy is not its own interpreter. 2nd, 1t is not agreed whether tho prophecies alluded to, refer to the present, or a yet remote period in thecburch's history, and, 3rd, Prophecy is not a rule of duty. These arguments aro designed to show that it cannot be fairly proved from scripture that is the duty of nations, vee distinct from churches, to endow churches. II. But while there is no command to nations to support Christian ordinance!, there is a body of persona expressly enjoin- ed to perform that duty, and to that body, and to noon other, is the command given.

It Is a lottery, in which there may be sail to be no blank.; for be who dies early draws a valuable prize for the benefit of his nearest and dearest, and he who survives the aver- age term of year., is duubly compensated for tho money lou it may have been to him, by the possosaiun of long life, enabling hon to earn fur those dear ones a aufficieot sup- port, and the constant protection of the policy tending to the removal of all fear for their future wants; while, if he has chosen a good office•, each year he may live will materially increase tbo sum payable to his heirs at death. Tho reflection that under all circumstan- ces, we have by a tri8tng preeout sacrifice secured that which will, in case of death, provide amply for those we may leave bo hind, remove our property from otherwise ruinous encumbrance, or fully accomplish any other object we may have in view, in- duces feelings of quiot content, totally removing all that harrowing anxiety for the future, which, while it troubles soma at all times, gains is most of us redoubled strength at the approach of sickness, or on the couch of death. This calmness of feel- ing is now generally acknowledged to be an instrument in prolooging the life of the assured, estimated by some as equal to three or four years increased duration; and its peculiar efficacy when a serious illness has unnerved us, when the mind is doubly son- sitivc, is admitted by all Physicians. I do but allude here to the • physical effects of Life Assurance, or its neglect: words bre not given me to portray to sufficient vivid- ness the anguish a dying father must feel when the past is ushered through his mind in its peculiar brightness, and he reflects that out of his superabnndanee he has failed, and perhaps at no distant day, to do an act of justice and humanity for those who have the strongest claims upon his affection. And though to the widow and children of ono who has held high rank in our colo- nial society, the sudden descent from their accustomed comfort and even the enjoy- ment of the luxuries of this life, to the bit- ter level of absolute want and perhaps the necessity of labouring in uncongenial occu- pations for their daily subsistence, must be tke'eltldag 6oiotft1.-141pt1)emelate, and ip or Father to Assure; yet we stop not here, wo do not omit one grade or class in the application of the ramp arguments; we be- lieve that a little reflection will satisfy the poorest amongst us, that at hie death £50 or £100, or an annuity of £10 or £20 for his widow, would be cheaply pnrchased by - setting aside a proportional part of his wages, or other income; less than lsawock will secure a Policy for £100. To those who plead in answer to a friend- ly attempt to convince them of the necessi- ty of Assurance, that it is hard to pay year after year far a prospective advantage, which can only mature for the benefit of their heirs; that it is 'in fact a poor specu- lation to enter into, where a man must die to make money by it, we would point out the suitableness of the system of " Endow - meet Assurance," or "Deferred Annuities;' by the former they can secure a feed amount payable to themselves on ther attain- ing a certain age, or to their representa- tives should they die earlier; by the latter they can in the days of health and strength lay by to purchase the guarantee of a Life Annuity, to commence upon their attaining any specified age, and to form a support when ago and infirmity render laborious exertion difficult and uncertain. While of ono who may feel tempted to reply, that ho can provide for hi. family much better by laying aside, and investing you after year the full amount of his savings, i would enquire how ho can thus presnme upon the continuance of his exist• mice—thus virtually pay that be has a•ger- fect assurance of length of days 1 But let him remember that even granting the certainty of a long life, were his payments made into 4 Life Assurance Company,el¢ny would be accumulated to bettor advertinngg° than by himself; and, from the nature of the• enga;,ement on his part, would certainly be made with greater regularity than any mero intention to lay by would soeure. An Assurer is truly said to have "acquired a species of property which he must natu- rally feel an interest to preserve, and ath e his hest energies become ernused, • sense of independence—a better tons of feeling—habits of prudence and economy, and al; the incentives to general moral Im- provement are established." Tho Earl of Roseherry has correctly observed, " that the practice has the peen - liar advantage of enabling the more affluent to accomplish a greet and important saving for their families Armies the medium of n positive erpesditwre. The nitimato ob- ject in view might be, partially accomplish- ed by laying the amount of ouch sa- vings a.tde, and elloring them to accu- mulate; but the great advnntege of an in stitution of this kind lei that while it ac- complishes the same object match more efTectnally and immediately, it w'thdraws no portion of capital from circulation, and rotr.pletely obviates all those baneful evils into winch a kand of saving is apt to de- generate; for such a habit, although eri- ginattne in proper and legitimate motives, not anfregaently ends in debasing the n,led to a dupoation of aaaricious hoarding."

They have proved their abhorrence of tumult and sedition by pelting her Majoety'a representative with rotten ogge, and burning down the House of Assembly. Wo are not in the least sur- prmed at it. it does not alter our estimate of the party, of its temper, of its wisdom, or of its power. 1„t on'y aids the last testi- mony wanting to the value of the liberal . constitution we have fortunately given to Canada. Riot. insult, and conflagration are the acts of a party which despairs of attain- ing its end by peaceful and ordinary meth- ods. The conduct of the Canadian tinier, now for many months, has been quite in character with this btilliaat fatale. A month since the steamer brought us an ac- count of Sir Allan McNab, with a dozen or two brother legislators, dining in public, drinking destruction, both of body and soul, to the Governor General's responsible advi- sers, and standing in a balcony aftt;r dinner to see the chief of them burnt in effigy be- fore tho windows. In England we have only one opinion of such proceedings. Lord Stanley is a warm and rather reckless poli- tician ; but if his lordship invited a party of friends to dine and see Lord John or Sir Robert burnt in effigy in St. James's Square, we should conclude that he thought hie chance of power somewhat desperate, and was, in fact. taking it out in revenge. This is the case of Sir A. McNab and his associ- ates. They are now a despicable minority. I.ow as they are in numerical strength, for they barely count aquarter of tbeLegislative Assembly, they are still lower in character and fortune. With all their jobs laid bare to noon -day, their characters blasted,aad their fortunes ruined ; with doors of office closed against them, and incapable of honest em- ployment, they have no alternative but to throw things into confuaion, if they can, and make every body else u miserable as themselves. We have no wish to give these despera- does a greater share In tis last crowning - outrage than facts fully justify, for there aro many modes and degrees of participation in crimp. Perhaps they bare no more to do with the burning of the House of Assembly than Lord George Gordon sad with the destruction of the Roman Catholic Chapel& and Newgate. The experience of this coun- try shows that very lamentable events, of apparent political significance, may arise on a very short f'i'rm t'Md..A¢ Tory casual tot riots, the mob being then and there assembled, finding themselves in force, per- ceiving that there were leaders, and hearing a cry, rushed at five minute's notice to acts which th-y probably had not dreamt of before. Of course they outstripped, Abe vigilatte* of the authorities as much as they did their own aenscs. Once in the work, they knew not where to stop. At Montreal, we trust, it Wm no worse. We trust there was nothing organized in the destruction, though the cutting of the gas -pipes looks rather like plan. The mob was convened and excited at a mass meeting. Thence,as by sudden impulse, it rushed to the House of Assembly. From breaking windows to effecting en entrance, and from that to firing tho%uilding, aro easy transitions. Unfor- tunately a temperate,/ wooden gallery ad- joined the hnuso for the stationary depart- ment. Two or three years back there w•ae a siniilar combination of combustible mate- rials in our own Westminster -hall, and prudent strophe shook their heads at it.— The japers once flung about and a candle applied, ten minutes and a high wind put 'the matter beyond hunts!) control. Tho garrison inerched up with all speed, and arrived in time to see a splendid conflagra- tion, with the usual crowd of delighted spectators. They fired neither into the edifice nor the crowd, and, in fact, could do nothing. The firemen played upon the adjoining building', which wan !hair wisest course. We have forgotten the police who mustered sixty strong, seder two coneta- b'ea, Oho kept order on the ground. When everything was over, the authorities, the military, end the police were all on the qui trine : the soldiers marched to a fro ;— suspected parties were apprehe and marched off 10 jail ; and when the post left, order triumphed at Montreal. Nothing is so easy as a surprise, nothing so worthless when there are no means of following it up, and nothing so wicked when there is no solid advantage in prospect.— Why, one man might have set that house nn fire, and it is Bard one mat actually did. Under ordinary eircumatanees, it is impossi- ble to guard against a snrprlre. We ',- member another Douai of Assembly In N. America, situated fifty miles within land, in the heart of twenty states and ten million* of men. One tins day a handful of man. about as large as the Montreal mob, sailed up a Bay, landed, marehed thrn"gh some woode, fought a emir, action, walked up to a city, passed a quiet night, and the next day burned or blew up all the buildings of the capital, marched heck as merrily as they came, got to their ships, and Palled further. where they fared worse. it was all a Mee* of mere muehief, unworthy of the name of war, doing nothing but eraaperating the people and widening the breach, and proving impossible for us nothing bat that it was to hold a sin,tlo inland position in the eue- my's country for more than twenty -foot hoer'. Such a feat is calculated to dimin- ish our emprise at the success of the Mont- real conflagration.
