sanctuary as crocodiles, by sparing them, and suffering them in their
sins, which brought, through these crocodiles, destruction on his house:
and in the same manner since upon many congregations,—as the churches of
Asia. This is an evil spirit in the mount.
Another crocodile is the spirit of preference. This is the crocodile
Judas, who was offended with Jesus in Bethany on account of Mary’s
ointment, which she poured on the head of Jesus; and that only because
they did not consult him; in revenge for which he turned traitor. He was
a selfish miser; and ultimately hung himself, and went to his own place.
This crocodile still lurks among the reeds. There are many like him,
ready to blame every act of discipline in the church; not that they care
so much for the interests of the church, or any belonging to it, but they
wish to swallow all up themselves.
Another crocodile is the spirit of Ahithophel, who plotted a cunning
artifice to dethrone a person whose heart was with God, and raise
Absalom, a wicked man like himself, to the throne in his stead. God
turned his counsel into foolishness. He was disappointed—his heart
failed—he saddled his ass, and went and hung himself. This was the end
of that crocodile.
Another is a spirit to trample and destroy, for the sake of being head.
This is the crocodile Joab, who killed Abner, who was better than
himself. This crocodile strikes every one who may be in his way under
the fifth rib, for the sake of being head himself. But his end came; he
lost his life at the horns of the altar, by the sword with which he
himself destroyed another.
But, upon looking again, we see the sixth crocodile, and his name is
Cain, who would triumph over God and man; without grace, or talents, or
faith, or love; and without any sacrifice that has blood in it; and
because God will not regard him without faith, he opens his mouth, and
sets himself to swallow pious Abel. God delivers him over to the
possession of the wicked one.
O brethren, let us prove the spirits, whether they are of God, or of the
devil!
I will tell you an anecdote of Mr. Rowlands, of Llangeitho. When he
wished to crush the spirit of calumny (the crocodile Ham) which lurked in
the church, he said to the slanderer: “Thou sayest, man, that sins must
be hunted and exposed, because they are too numerous in the church—and
that they ought not be hidden. Be quiet, man. Who art thou? I think I
know thy family, and thy eldest brother, even Ham, the son of Noah. His
two brothers wished to hide their father’s nakedness, but he would expose
it. What reward did they receive for covering their father’s nakedness?
The blessing of God and their father. And what reward did thy brother
receive? The curse of God and their father. And I doubt not thy reward
will be nothing better.”
VIII. ENVIOUS AMBITION.
THE forest of Lebanon once held a consultation to choose a king, upon the
death of the king, the Yew-tree. They agreed to offer the crown to the
Cedar; and if the Cedar should refuse, to invite the Vine and the Olive
to office. They all refused the honors for the following reasons. The
Cedar refused, “because,” said be, “I am sufficiently high as I am.”—“I
would rather,” said the Vine, “yield wine to cheer others, than receive
for myself.” And in the same manner, the Olive preferred giving its oil
to honor others rather than receive any honors to itself.
All these having refused the honors offered them, they next agreed to
call the Thorn to the government; and if he should decline, to choose the
Bramble. The White Thorn, in its beautiful dress, received the honor,
speaking thus to itself:—“I have nothing to lose but the white coat, and
some red berries; and I have prickles enough to hurt the whole forest.”
But the Bramble instigated a rebellion against the White Thorn, and
kindled the fire of pride in the forest, so that all the trees were set
on flame.
Two or three vain and proud men in a peaceful congregation, have, by
contending for the preference, disturbed the peace, and obstructed the
prosperity of many a church, while there was no more virtue in them than
there is of value in the white thorn or prickly bramble.
IX. THE DOVE, THE RAVEN, AND THE EAGLE.
A NOBLEMAN had a Dove, a Raven, and an Eagle, belonging to his palace.
There was no sociability or fellowship prevailing among them. The Dove
fed on its own food, and hid herself in the clefts of the rocks, or in
the dove-house near the palace. The Raven fed upon dead carcasses, and
sometimes picked out the eyes of little innocent lambs, if she could
pounce upon them in a chance place;—she also nestled in the top of the
trees. The Eagle was a royal bird, flying very high, but yet of a
rapacious character. Sometimes he would not mind eating some half a
dozen of the Doves for his breakfast. He thought himself the king of
birds because he flew higher than they all. The Doves greatly dreaded
his strong beak, his wrathful eyes, and his sharp grappling claws. When
the gentleman threw wheat for the Dove on the pavement, the Raven would
have a piece of an ear or the foot of a lamb in its beak; and the Eagle
was for taking up some little child from the cradle to his nest.
The Dove is the pious diligent Christian; the Raven is the dissolute and
difficult to be managed; and the proud, selfish professor is the Eagle.
These three characters are too frequently to be found together, and there
is no denomination, in church or chapel, without these three birds, if
there are any birds at all there. It is impossible for three birds, so
different in their dispositions, ever to be happy together. Brethren,
pray for the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

PROFESSOR FROST’S NEW HISTORICAL WORK.
REMARKABLE EVENTS
IN THE
HISTORY OF AMERICA.
FROM THE DISCOVERY TO THE PRESENT TIME.
COMPILED FROM THE BEST AUTHORITIES BY J. FROST, LL.D.
EMBELLISHES WITH
SEVEN HUNDRED ENGRAVINGS,
FROM DESIGNS OF THE MOST DISTINGUISHED ARTISTS.
The demand of the public for Historical Works, and especially for those
which relate to the history of our own country, has increased so rapidly
of late, that HISTORY may now be pronounced the leading department of
literature. Not only classical histories, but every other description of
books which may be expected to throw light upon history, are eagerly
demanded. Biographies and Memoirs of Distinguished Men, local Histories,
Historical and Topographical accounts of States, Historical Collections,
Correspondence of Generals, Commodores, and Statesmen, State papers, and
documents of all kinds, old and new, find a ready sale as soon as they
are published. This decided taste of the public for historical reading,
whilst it is hailed by the patriot and the friend of sound popular
education as an evidence of increased intelligence among the people,
points out distinctly the duties of authors and publishers, to contribute
their best efforts towards the substitution of books of real utility,
instead of the lighter and less useful publications, which have
heretofore had too free a currency.
The work here announced is intended to embrace a view of the most
REMARKABLE EVENTS
Which have transpired since the DISCOVERY OF AMERICA. It includes an
account of
THE CONQUEST OF MEXICO, by HERMAN CORTES.
THE CONQUEST OF PERU, by PIZARRO AND ALMAGRO.
THE CONQUEST OF FLORIDA, by DE SOTO.
THE DISCOVERY AND SETTLEMENT OF THE U. STATES AND CANADA.
KING PHILIP’S WAR, and
THE SEVEN YEARS’ WAR, which terminated in the Conquest of Canada.
The Leading Incidents of THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, and
THE WAR OF 1812, WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
THE WAR WITH THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
THE SEVERAL INDIAN WARS, and
THE LATE WAR WITH MEXICO.
This work fills 1600 pages, and is very richly embellished throughout.
It presents a great variety of REMARKABLE INCIDENTS, and brings to view a
great number of Distinguished Characters, including
DISCOVERERS, CONQUERORS, GENERALS, STATESMEN, AND LITERARY CHARACTERS,
and will serve to gratify, in a high degree, the prevailing taste for
_Historical Reading_.
The Publisher has spared no expense to render this work in all respects
worthy of public patronage.
The Publisher relies on the liberality and discernment of the public for
remuneration for the great expense which an undertaking of this magnitude
has necessarily involved.
The work is bound in a neat arabesque style, in one very large volume,
and is sold at the extremely low price of
THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS A COPY!

this worthy and pious man breathe the true spirit of Christian
excellence, and are well calculated to make all who read them both wiser
and better. No family should be without this good book.

* * * * *
THE Biography of this most distinguished and honored Statesman is
eminently fraught with encouragement and hope for aspiring
youth—especially for those who enter upon the stage of active life,
unportioned and unheralded by the partial voice of powerful friends and
kindred. Henry Clay was one of the many among our eminent men who,
besides the disadvantages of poverty and obscurity, were fated to
encounter that of early orphanage. Yet his subsequent career
emphatically teaches that no one who is conscious of possessing the
requisite qualities need ever apprehend that humility of origin or
obscurity of position will deprive him of opportunities to serve and
honor his country. The work here presented is intended to trace clearly
the career of Mr. Clay, from his entrance on the stage of public life
down to the period of his death—mainly by the right of his own lofty,
persuasive, and impassioned eloquence. Mr. Clay’s parliamentary efforts,
clear, direct, and vigorous, embody all the illustration that is needful
to their full understanding—the great importance, variety, and
indestructible interest of the topics he generally discussed—the
character and ability of the orator, the direct and exact bearing of his
arguments on the controversies and interests of the times—all combine to
render his speeches among the most valuable contributions of Patriotism
and Genius to the enlightenment and elevation of the American people.
