EniTon-—This exhortation of the Apostle Paul to the Cortuthian Church, o-rew out of their distracted condition, jiroduced by their iiriproper futrtialities toward their ministers — Paul ticcuK s tlicia of this, and says, 1 Cor., HI L "l-ftjr while, ono fttiiflt, 1 uni of P.tul; aiiil anothei', 1 tun of f\pollos; tire yo not carnal.''" JSlot^t'itb- staiidittg their fboli"b tdvi.sious and preferences in regard to their minis¬ ters ; It Wil.". notorious that Paul anil Apolloa, Pctof &,G, wero of tho httme croed or siHitimerit. Between them there was not, (as Olai-k says,) the Blighfo.st difi'eroneo. When, therefore, the dissentients began f o prefer the one to the other, it was tho fullest proof of ¦thoir carnality; because in the teach¬ ing of these Apostles, there was no difi'orence; ho that What tho people wero captivtited by, must be merely their oufv'ard appearance. And their preferiug one to the other on this ttc- eouut proved that tbey wore carnal, aud led by mere out-svar'd appearances, witttont being undei^ the guidance eith- et* of v;iailom, reason or grace. There arc thousands of such people in tht! church at the present time,-—but this is glorying in ??iaft,~but Paul siiiil, (21st veise,) "T^herofore lot nii man glory in men." To .sjlory in men simjdy nieiuf? to boast in. to be proud of men. There were those in the Ooriuthiau Charch,a-J there arc now, who thus glo- rioil in their miuistors, and tiwtirded to them tliat degree of doforence which belongs to (fod only. "This is infertible from the v priraantl Which Paul gives them in tho fn^st chapter of this epis- tle; ¦•Is Christ divided? was Paul cru¬ cified for you'" '-God ifl a jealoua God; his fj;lory will he not give to another." 'The church, it is trtte, should properly respect aad love bet* ministers. This Paul elsewhere enjoins. "WebeseSoh you, brethroUj to know them -which la¬ bor anion the Lord, esteem tbeni very highly for their works .sake." To do this, my brethren, is both rational and religious. An enlightened and holy niinhstryis a great blessing to the church, anti to the world. Tliej^ should, however, be esteemed as men, tmd ministers of Christ, aud not as Huperbuman boing.s; not as gotls. "'Wc iiave this tteaHurc in earthen vessels, that fhe excellency of the power mtiy be of God, and nut of us." "We also tire men of liko pas¬ sions with you " "Make not tho tirm of flcsb your trust. ' '-Eonder iinfo God the thtngiS thtit tire God's.' ''Ue fhatglorieth let him glory m the Lord.'' Uiit We glor> in man by overraiing the talents of .some, anil by disrespectfully nndf crating the talents of otliert, This the Corinthians did, antl this we too efton do. t'aul, as a [ireacher, v/as a clear, cogent and profouml logician — ApolloB, "was an eloipieiit niut!, ttml mighty iu tho scriptures." Cephas, or Peter, v/as a "lioatterges," a bolt!, zeal¬ ous, and powcrJ'ui declaimer. Now some of fhe Corinthians were e.xtrav- tigtiiit in their glor_^i!i<j,s of Paul, so much HO, fi.-i to elii.it fx-tini thtit holy mtiit, a kind but ])ri>m|)t rebuke — "Were you L.tptiyiOil in tht^ name of Paul?" "My upeech audmy preaching was not with enticing word-, of nitui's ¦iUhilom, but ill demonstration of the spirit and of ]iowor, that ^our faith you, tmd tire over you in i Be carefnl then, my christian brethren, and admonish you, tind to that you do not "glory in men," nor let yoivc ptirtialities leail you to,neglect, or undervalue one of God's minister;-4. "For till things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Gephas, or tlic v/orld, or life, or death, or things prcs- ¦iut, or things lo come; all aro yours ; tmd yo are Christ's; and Christ iw God's.

A third elass in that church, gretitly tippiauded Peter, and perhaps, caretl but very little about tho logic of Paul, or the eloquence of Apollos. so that they could but enjoy the soul-stirring, overwhelming dlBcourscs of this '-son of thunder."
