A Correspondent of the Puritan Recorder, in an article headed, "Where are We drifting?" makes some pertinent remarks in relation to the dangers which threaten the church. The first danger, he says, lies in a lax view of doctrines; the preaching of fundamental truths with such qualifications and explanations as to render them not objectionable to worldly minds. The next consists in exalting institutions of mere human device, as a means of moral culture above the preached gospel; and, thirdly, the undervaluing of the christian ministry, by forsaking the religious for the literary lecture, and loving amusement more than instruction. The writer closes by remarking that nothing but a great outpouring of the Spirit will save the New England churches from such evils, and calls upon the laymen to ponder this state of things.
