 As one who has been long «and specially connectud witli 
 tliis Congregation, and who will ever take a <lee[) interest 
 in its harmony and prosperity, allow nie to address to you 
 a few words regarding the experience and testimony ofyoin* 
 late Pastor on his death-bed. Ills illness was a long, severe 
 and trying one, — causing him much acnte bodily sut^'ering, — 
 which also pressed heavily on his mind and sj>irits, some- 
 times with almost overwhelming weight. Hut all that he 
 suffered, he received as the needed (^hastening ot" his Heav- 
 enly Father, — righteous, merciful and good, and the hm- 
 guage of his heart always was — "Not my will, but thine be 
 done; — I will be still because the Lord hath done it." 
 
 Alone with God, and brought near to Ilim, he was taught 
 more deeply than he had ever been, to see the holiness of 
 Cxod, — His righteous abhorrence of all shi, and condemnation 
 of it as exceedingly evil in itself, — as separating from Him- 
 self the fountain of life and blessedness, and polluting and 
 destroying to the souls He has made, — entailing upon them 
 
 //i 
 
inisury in tliis lifu and eternal ruin liereaf'ter ; — and lie juB- 
 tiiied (iod in IJis liolv etindenmation of it. In liiinHelt' he 
 could see no i;o(»d thinjij, nutliin«i' which could stand (lod'ti 
 j>ure, searching eye, and he condemned and ahhorred sin at? 
 he KHVV it in hinirtelt'. 11 is confidence and rct'u<re was alone 
 in the for<»;ivin;x love ot*(TO(l as his reconciled Fatlier, man- 
 ifested and end»racinjr him through the <^ift and sacritiee of 
 lliw ]klovcd Son, — and in tlie hl<»od of Jesus which cleans- 
 eth from all sin — ever accounting' it a '" faithl'ul saying and 
 worthy of all acceptation, that Ciirist came into the world 
 to Have sinners, even the chief:" and abiding in this conti- 
 dence, when heart and flesh M'ere fainting and failing, he 
 could say, cahnly, — " Lord Jesus, come quickly," '' Lord Je- 
 sus, receive my spirit." It was this rock upon which alone 
 he could stand, {ind upon this rock he earnestly desired that 
 you, his peo})le, might stand also. His earnest ])rayer was, 
 that there might be a true revival of vital reliuion in the 
 Congregation — a real turning to God among you. 
 
 lie spoke several times of the kindness he had ijivnriably 
 received from his people during the whole jieriod of his 
 ministry, and in his illness, remembering many special acts 
 of such kindness; and of the many peaceful days he had 
 spent among you, — such he said as sehloni fall to the lot of 
 any Minister. But he felt he was still a debtor to everyone 
 of you. He desired that you might remember and give 
 heed to the truth si)oken by him wliilst among you, but he 
 had an earnest desire, if it had been the will of God, that 
 he might have been permitted once more to address you 
 from the pulpit, to warn you as he had never before done, 
 and to beseech you to seek the Lord while he may be found ; 
 to turn to Ilini with full purpose of heart while He is near. 
 He felt he could tell you from his own experience of the 
 sensations of a death-l)ed, when the body is racked with 
 pain, and the mind prostrated by weakness, — how unfit 
 such a time is for repentance, should it be left till then. 
 
 You know what he was among you for thirty-six years — 
 
 
1 
 
 ft 
 
 laboring to the utmost of hid strength, and otlon beyond it. 
 But he never spoke of liis past labors ; his language in the 
 retrospect was, " I thought I was in earnest, but in the light 
 of a near eternity, and realizing the preeiousness of the im- 
 mortal soul, and how all-important is its salvation, I desire 
 that I had been much more faithful to the souls of my 
 )>eople ; much more earnej^t for their salvation." The mes- 
 sage that he desired to be conveyed to you, — to everyone of 
 you, was, to be satisfied with nothing less than a real con- 
 version of heart to God, a true, personal knowledge of 
 Christ, and a conscious abiding in His love and His salva- 
 tion. " Oh, what madness, said he, does it now appear to 
 me, for the heart of man which God made for Himself, to 
 be engrossed with the world as its portion." 
 
 May you seriously ponder these things : they were spoken 
 by your departed Pastor under the near view of eternal re- 
 alities, — and he being dead, yet speaketh. May you all be 
 united in one heart and one mind, and in prayer to the 
 Lord to send vou a Pastor after His own heart, who will 
 feed you with the Bread of Life ; and may you who have 
 hitherto been a united Congregation, be preserved from a 
 spirit of division so disastrous to a Congregation, and so 
 injurious to your own souls. 
 
 Yours, in much afft tion and regard, 
 
 M. MACHAR.

 oiven by the rev. john machar, d. d., minister of rt. 
 Andrew's church, on Saturday, o(;tober 18, 1862. 
 
 Dear Friends : — I shall not now attempt to say much to 
 you, and yet, as one appointed to watch for your souls, 
 who must soon give an account, — I may be j)crmitted to 
 advert for a few moments to the solemn and delightful cir- 
 (Ministances in which we now stand. If spared until the 
 morrow, we shall be once more privileged to sit down at 
 that Table where the weary have so often been refreshed 
 and the hungry filled with good things. The Master of the 
 Feast has again come to us, and His voice to us is " Behold 
 I stand at the door and knock," and lie but waits for our 
 
:i 
 
 opening the door to "come in to us, to sup witli us," and 
 to admit im to huj) witli IFim in sweet and rt^vivin*^ tiellow- 
 Bliip. And wlu*n is it that we shall open the door to lliiu i 
 Just then when we most feel our need of Him ; — when we 
 most clearly see the evil that is in us, and that it is an evil 
 under which, unless ITe deliver us froni it, we nnist inevita- 
 hly and miserahly perish. l>ear friends, seek to see this 
 evil, and to see it now, that yon iiuiy raise your voiee to 
 Christ, and say, " Come in to me, Lord, and make me to 
 taste the hlessedness of which thou hast spoken !'' 
 
 These Communion seasons with us recur oidy at dis- 
 tant intervals; and it is an advantaixe arisiiiL? fn»m this that 
 at their recurrence the heart is often deeply solemnized. 
 Your hearts may now be dee[)ly soli'mnize*!. The liand of 
 God, which can reach us in so many ways, has touched 
 you. You are thinkint]^ of th(»sc wlu) have jjone from 
 among us of late years, and thinking that perhaps ere 
 another Comnnmion season comes round, you too !nay he 
 gone. They are thoughts to solemnize your spirit, — 
 thoughts to awaken the enrpiiry — llow shall I he ])ro})ared 
 for this Communion i it may he my last on ejirth, with 
 my God and Saviour. Dear frientls, you will he prepared 
 for it just as by the Holy Spirit you are convinced itf sin 
 that is in you, — of its vileness, — its misery, — its destructive- 
 ness, — and as by the same Spirit you are enabled to (»j)en 
 your hearts to Christ, and to count all things but loss that 
 you may win Christ and be found in Ilim. Happy thosi^ 
 among iis "whose sin has found them out, and who, taking 
 the publican's place, lift up his cry " God be merciful to im; 
 a sinner!" " The sacrifices of God are a broken and a con- 
 trite spirit;" and if such at the time shall be your sacrifices, 
 your Communion with Him will be sweet. 
 
 Ask then the Holy Spirit, as you examine yourselves 
 this evening, — ask Him to show you all that is in your 
 heart, to convince you of sin. I commend you to Him 
 who casts out none that truly come to Him. I commend 
 
8 
 
 Vi»u tverv (•ne! ** Tin* good Lord pardon everyone that 
 I.ri'imres his heart to seek God, though it be not prepared

 '' I31css tilt; Lonl, O my soul, und forget not all His ben- 
 etitti, who foi'i^ivetli all thine iiii(|uitie8, who healeth all 
 thy diseases, who redeenieth thy lite from ilestriietion." — 
 In such lanj^UMiJic, Communicanta, if you were to give ex- 
 ]M'esfiion to your i)resent emotions, would you not now utter 
 them, as you think of lUm through whoso blood you have 
 remission, nor remisj^ion only, but heaHiuj^ — even all that 
 you need to make you whole of your soul's plague, and to 
 till you with a new and pure and FTeavenly life ! If so be 
 that you have tasted that the Lord is thus gracious, — what 
 blessedness is yours ! A wondering and wce})ing prophet 
 om!0 exclaimed — " Is there no balm in Gilead — is there no 
 Physician there"? But you are not left to make any such 
 dark and ])ainful en<piiries. You knowof acureofinfallable 
 efficacy, you have found a physician infinite in pity and in- 
 finite in skill. Your hurt, like that of Israel of old, was a 
 grievous hurt. It polluted you and made you wretched. 
 " The whole liead was sick, and the whole lieart faint." — 
 And it was a fatal hurt ; it baffled all human skill ; it defied 
 all human remedies; and you must soon have sunk under 
 its virulence, and perished forever. 
 
10 
 
 But Gud had mercy upon you ; lie laid lielp for you 
 on One mighty to save. In Christ you have a healing 
 balm for all your spiritual maladies. His blood is a foun- 
 tain (tpened for sin, and for all uneleanness ; you luive wash- 
 ed in that fountain and experienced the efficacy of its heal- 
 ing waters. And still you desire to wash in it, — still you 
 • desire to look unto Jesus, that you may have pardon and 
 peace and purity and eternal life. And here at Ilis Table 
 you desire to meet with Iliui, aud to put yourselves wholly 
 into His hands, that He may give you the balm of His bro- 
 ken body and shed blood ; and, under the sweet experience 
 of its cleansing and healing power, cause you to sing with 
 exidting hearts of His power and pity, saying — " Bless the 
 Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy 
 name." 
 
 Trusting that such, — or similar to these, are the emotions 
 and desires of your hearts, wo now proceed to put into your 
 liands the tokens of Clu'ist's broken body and shed blood. 
 
 ^Mxm aftev €omnnini<;atiwg. 
 
 Communicants! — one who had suifered long and had suf- 
 fered much, once came behind Jesus in the press, and 
 touched his garment, for she said " If I may touch but Hi? 
 clothes, I shall be whole." And happy was she who thus 
 believed ; virtue straightway went out of Him, and she was 
 healed, i^ow, has your confidence in Jesus been like that 
 of this sufferer, and has it been blessed? As you have said 
 at His Table in your hearts, " If I may but touch the hem 
 of his garment, I shall be whole," — does He know, and do 
 you know, that virtue has come out of Him to heal you ? 
 Adore His mercy and goodness ; let your soul bless the 
 Lord; let all that is witliin you bless His holy name. 
 
 Cleave henceforth to your Physician. Have no Saviour 
 but Christ. Resort for healing to none other but Him, for 
 
11 
 
 a 
 
 all others are Piiysiciaiis of no value, — tlicy could not save 
 you, and you would again become the prey of disease and 
 death. Having experienced the Heavenly Physician's pow- 
 er to h'^al, perforin healthy acts; engage in healthy exer- 
 cises. Go forth to your daily work in God's service until 
 the evening. See what the Lord would have you to do in 
 your own souls, in your families, in the Church, in the 
 world. " To do good, and to communicate, forget not." 
 There are many around you wounded by sin — wounded by 
 it, as you were, unto death. Can you stand by and see 
 them perish ? Surely if you have come to Jesus and been 
 healed, you will bring others to Him that they may be 
 healed. Did lie refuse to come into personal contact with 
 our wi.ckedness and misery ? Instead of sending a suboti- 
 tute to be our deliverer. He delivered us Himself. " He 
 loved us and gave himself for us !" Communicants, remem- 
 ]>er this ; and when you see those who have none to care 
 for their souls, — and they are at your doors, — pass them 
 not by on the other side, but have compassion on them and 
 hasten to their relief. Love as you have been loved ; give 
 yourselves to the recovery of the wounded and dying as 
 Christ gave Himself for you, when you were wounded and 
 dying. It is not long that you will have to go about this 
 blessed work, — this only work worth living for I The night 
 Cometh when no man can work. Some have gone from 
 among us since last we kept this Feast. We, too, must 
 soon leave our places in the Church below. But what of 
 this if we have been about our Master's business, and walk- 
 ed in love as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for xlb ? 
 Death will then have no terrors for us ; it will only sever 
 us from a body in which we groan, being burdened ; and 
 whether our passage over its dark waters be rough or 
 smooth, we shall be welcomed to the joy of the Lord on 
 the farther shore. 
 
 Finally, submit to your Heavenly Physician's treatment. 
 Submit to it not less when it is painful than when it Ib 
 
pleasant ! We know not what the Lord may see meet to do 
 with us. We know not what sore trials it may be His will 
 to send us. But Oh, Communicants, let it comfort your 
 hearts that He will do all things well ; that He will, with 
 unerring wisdom, appoint the things that are for the life of 
 your spirit ; that He will, in love to your souls, deliver you 
 from the pit of destruction ; and that the hour is not dis- 
 tant when, having perfected all that concerneth you. He 
 shall translate you to a land where the inhabitant shall no 
 more say " I am sick," because the people that dwell there- 
 in shall be forgiven their iniquity ! Go, rejoicing in these 
 things. Go now from His table singing His praises as in 
 the Eucharistic Psalm : — " Bless the Lord, O my soul, and 
 all that is within me, bless His holy name !"
