Excerpt from The Evangelical Guardian, 1846, Vol. 4 On one occasion an elder of his congregation, Thomas Rich, I think, was his name - a man of rare excellence for the sim plicity, sincerity and humility of his life - related to the author a conversation on the subject of the agitated change of the Psalmody. In one single remark of Dr. Mason's on that occa sion was expressed his own judgment and the readiness of his illustrations. The new Psalms, said he, are like a dried and withered orange which you press in vain; its juices and its taste are gone - the old Psalms are like the orange fresh, ripe and full, it yields to the pressure a rich and succulent stream, sweet and refreshing. On another occasion lie preached at Newburgh in the hearing of the writer (long after the change had taken place, ) from this text: Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2 Cor. Iii, 17. At the close of his discourse, remarkable for richness and beauty, he said, taking up the Psalm-book, come let us sing one of the songs of that Spirit, who knows best how to describe his own work in the hearts of his people.

Excerpt from The Evangelical Guardian and Review, 1817, Vol. 1 These two mistakes are inseparably connected together, and both mislead the opinions and feelings of the multitude.

With this view, the attention of our readers is solicited to the relation which subsists between the Church and the world. The right understanding of this relation alone can enable us to form a just conclusion, at all times, of the events which we witness.

Excerpt from The Evangelical Guardian and Review, Vol. 2: May-December, 1818; January-April, 1819 On the first day of July, 1800, m the 77th year of her age, her long and exemplary life was end ed, without pain or previous warning. She rose in her usual health and spirits, walked some time in her garden; but before nine at night was called to the enjoyment of that rest which re maineth for the people of God. The nature of her complaint pre vented her from saying any thing - nor was it necessary. Her life, as a daughter, wife, and me ther, under the direction of the Spirit of God, since she had Open ly avowed Christ to be her all, was enough.

Excerpt from The Evangelical Guardian, Vol. 2: By an Association of Ministers of the Associate Reformed Synod of the West; June, 1844-May, 1845 And now let us ascend to the sublime universe. As the earth is made up of a great variety of divisions and departments, which con stitute one complete and harmonious world; so the universe consists of an immense variety of different but stupendous divisions, all which together are combined 1nto one mighty and glorious whole. Each star which we perceive in the firmament is no doubt a far dis tant sun, as large or larger than our own, and like it attended with a train of planets which move around this common centre. Now, all these suns together with our own, compose but one district of the universe, which wheels around another centre of its own. A vast number of other districts along with ours, revolves about a more distant centre still. And, to use the splendid idea of Mr. Dick, the throne of God is the centre around which the whole universe rolls. This universe, a vast floating island in boundless space, a flood of light surrounded with illimitable darkness, a grand and beautiful system of living and moving realities in a dreary void-this universe is the empire of God. His power pervades its very atoms; his eye absorbs, at one glance, all its worlds, and rests on each particle of dust and he governs it as empire was never governed before; and, what is most wonderful, without toil, trouble, or care. This God is again the Bible Jehovah. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Gospel Messenger, 1882, Vol. 4 But another, whose writing I have read, referring to the same Scripture, says it was only the twelve apostles that were chosen before the foundation of the world and appointed to the apostleship, and that their app - dintment to that office was both absolute and irreversible. But how shall we believe such ridiculous absurdities when we consider that the apostles were all Jews - not a Gentile amongst them - while the Scripture that another would restrict in its application to the apostles, only was by St. Paul addressed to a church of the Gentiles, and not to the apostles?
