handle is hein.journals/advpeacecp1 and id is 1 raw text is: CHRISTIAN P 'TRIOT. FEndeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond ofPeace. - -Eph. iv. 3. Judge not.- -T*Matt. vii. 1. If any man trust to himself thhft he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that as heis Christaeven so are we Christ's.* 2 Cor. x. 7. 'Let us not therefore judge one anotherany more.* ** *Rom. xiv. 1 He that hath my commandments and keepeti them, he it is that Ikth me. *-Johin xiv. 21. VOL. J. PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. 1828. 0. PROSPli6TUS. SMuch has been said and written on the subject of Peace; it is admit'ted to be an interesting one; it. admitted to be closely connected 0f the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; it is even admitted to be enjoined by that gospel on all who profess obedience to it; that it is an object most ardeitly to be desired, and that it will ultimately be established, to the utter and eternal extinction of all that stands6pposed to. it. These -are senfiments and feelin'gs genee ally prevalent among Christians; and y-t it is no less a fact, that it is treated with great indifference by ma- ny, and by others openly disavowed, as it respects its present practical adoption. As avowed advocates bf the cause of peace on earth, and good-will among men, becausqwe view it to be an indispensable pre-requisite to . the full and realizing anqnowledgment of glory to- God in the highest,; we are anxious to bring forward an iqui- ry into the cause of this supineness and .disregard, and to press, it on the reflections of our, fellow-christians, because'we re but-too apprehensive, that the caus of peace cannot be uni- versally em raced on Chriktian priln- ciples, u .those who already pro- fess those p'inciples? become themselves examples, f their powerful sufficiency to.sppre s all the elullitions of strif6, ad'to establish peace and -ood-will on the firm.and -durable basis of mu- tual self-denial, fbrbeatrance, eandour, justice, and charity... In fact, we wish that it shotld b distinctly ascertained whether the self denying, the-enduring, unresis'ing pr cepts, exemplified in the chidracteV and life, the sufferings and death, of Jesus Christ, are absolutely obligatory on his followers-or not, as theproper rule and guide of their condct and whether there is not cause to stas ect some latent error 'in our estimate of the standard of 'Christianity, while those who avow a conforniity to it, leave out of that estimate this practic( adherence to the precepts nd exam- .ple of their acknowledged .1ord and Master. - In reviving at this timne the AdvQ- cate of Peace, and uniting as is a s- sociaje The Christian Patriot,' the Editors are d.esirois' to remove the stumbling-block out ofthe .way to a complete and permanent peace among. those who profess to admire and to be governed by the Gospel of Peace; by. endeavouring to show the accord- -ance of pacific princi es with the truest patriotism, and the most exalted virtue: and theyope to be' enabled, under the guidance of God's Spirit io pojnt out by what meai Christians May agree in the spirit of conciliation to magnify the religion of Jesus, y laying aside-the little petty jealous s which have so long distracted .aid ,divided the Christian world,;aid y
