REV. MR. TODD'S ADDRESS,

ON PRESENTING THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION.

Resolved, That the peculiar state of this country and of the world, demands vigorous and increased efforts to raise up a holy and devoted ministry.

MR. PRESIDENT,-There are two embarrassments under which a clergyman always labors when he rises to speak before an Education Society. The first consists in a kind of indefinite feeling that his audience will consider all he says as a species of homage paid to his own profession, that however much he may say or feel on the value of the ministry, a part of the praise, to say the least, seems to return directly upon his own head. The second cause of embarrassment lies deeper-and consists in a painful consciousness in the speaker, that he himself has accomplished little or nothing in comparison with what he ought to have done! We have been in the ministry-some of us five, ten, twenty or more years; we have professed to stand near the cross; to drink directly from the fountain of life; we have spoken to hundreds and thousands, some of whom are now on the way to the judgment seat, some have already gone there, and there we are soon to meet them!

Oh, Sir! if we could feel that we had written one such book as the Saint's Everlasting Rest, or even such a tract as one of Legh Richmond's, which would live and preach when we are gone-that we had been the instruments of converting thousands of souls, and that no blood would be found on our right hand at the great day, we could so plead the cause of the ministry before God's people, that many youth would rise up and cry, "Here are we, send us ;" and others would cry, "Here are our silver and our gold, take them, and fill the earth with a holy and devoted ministry."

I say, holy and devoted ministry; I do not say great ministers, in the ordinary meaning of the term; for you and I well know, that there are men who are not spoken of after their dust has returned to dust, yet who will be great in the kingdom of God, and shine as the sun in the firmament forever and ever. I speak on this point the more freely, because I am afraid we are prone in these days, to measure a minister's usefulness by what is at once seen to result from his labors.

When a boy, Providence sent a humble, unostentatious minister among us-a man who is now laboring in the wilderness at the west, almost unknown. There was a small revival under his preaching-not much said or thought about it—for only a few poor boys and girls were the subjects. It was one among many of similar revivals under the labors of this man. The subjects were poor Sabbath school children; but I can fix my eye upon them, and see two or three of these girls the devoted wives of ministers; two or three of these boys are deacons of churches; two more at least, min
