3. The Word of God the Inst rument , and the Spirit of God the Agent in the regeneration of adults.

Read Rom. i : 7 ; 1 Cor. i : 2 ; Eph. i : 1 ; CoL i : 1^"; Acts i i r 41, 42; Matt, i r i i i r 20-23-28; 2 Cor

5. T i e " L a r d s Sapper'-' is » positiTe and cnnunemoratiTe ordinance to be obserred only by a Church of Christ, <u.tucJi, ( that is, in church opacity), not as a test of ChrittUm /elUnctkif or personal feeling of one commanicant toward inoiher.Ha Pedobaptists erroneously teach, but oaly to show farth Chris t i j d ^ t h tfl l he comes igain; and being a Church act, i t becomes, inci--ientaUy, a symbol of a« rcA relationship; con-jequendy, only those churches can parUcipate ia this ordinance that agree in fai th and prac-lice. The members of one church (though of tie same faith and or-ler) can come to the com-mimion of another only by an act of courtesy u d not hjTigkt, for each church is independent, being made the guardian of the pnr i ty of the jicrtd feast, is inTestcd with the authori ty to liJcipUne those wLuse relaiionship oitiinarilv pTM the right.

6. Christian Baptism is the immersion of a beUerer in water by a .juaHeed administrator m the name of the Trinity, in r^rumtation of tie hartal and resurrection of Christ, and pro-fssion of a death to sin, union with Chris^ and caasecration to his service.

Vol. I

' c o M i n m i o H . I lav ing ' s ta ted tfte*grounds on Which

Baptist churchcs decline inviting Pedo-t ap t i s t s lo the Lord's taWei-we shall now notice some popular objections to re-stricted communion. ' Before, however, we proceed to con-

sider tliose objections, we may mention that if our positions in the preceding numbers have been Scriptural, no objec-tions again.st the practice can be of any validity. It" Christ, in the exercise of his legal authority, ha.s made the supper a church feast, and restricted churcli membership to baptized believers, then all objections against liiuiling commu-nion to church members and church membership to the baptized, are directed not iu much against the churches tha t maintain this order as against the wis-dom, gooduess and authority of the Lawgiver. To every objector to the arrangement, .we might reply in the language of J a m e s : " I f thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.^' W i t h these preliminary remarks, we will give calm and candid attention to the objections.

1. I t is sa id: " T h e t a b l e is the Lonl 's , :md no church can forbid any of his ehil-dn?n to eat at it, witfiVut any assumption of power, and an infringeiricnt on their rights."'

If it were our table, we might properly consult our taste, interest or sympathies in inviting others to partake of i t ; but it is, as the objection avers, " ^Ac L O R D ' S t a b u : ' He instituted the feast, and ha.s an intlefeasable right to prescribe tlie terras of admission to it. l i e has either prescribed these terms, or has not. If he

No.^46.

in the N e w Testament, is aUo of equiv cal import. I t sometimes mcans the whole body of believers, sometimes a worshiping congregation, and sometimes a secular assembly. Acts xix. 39-41. Now, it surely implies no inconsistency to call an assembly or an organization a church, either in the popular sense of the English term, or in the sense of the Greek word ecdesia, and to decline com-muntng with it. I t will hardly be main-tained that Paul would have broken bread with the mob at Ephesus, which cried out vociferously, " G r e a t is Diana ot the Ephes i ans ; " a„d Luke styles it an ecclesja—a church—an assembly.

W e speak of P d o b a p t i s t churchcs, and the language is underetood by all persons who do not choose to pervert it. V\ e .lo not mean that they are identical with the idolatrous mob a t Ephesus, or tite primitive church at Jerusalem ; but they are still churches, asscml.iie.s or organizalion.s, sei)aratc^l from the rest of mankin.l. So far as we constientiously can, we should sanction their principles and commend their piety and good works Willie wo faithfully condemn and vi-or-onsly oppose their errors. Sound policy,

as a due regard to t ru th and t a i iT iL^demands that we shall pursue tins course. Pedobaptist societies are churches, but, in our judgment , they arc not lornie.l according to the apostolic model. W e give them due credit for their intelligence, piety and goo«l works, but wp have soinf«-hit

LBro. Je t rupting him right here, to express our approbation of his sentiments. They are not apostolic churches—not gospel or Chri.stian churchcs in any sense, not having the organization or character of membershif) Christ cominanded, and therefore we should neither say nor-do

tierefore, can answer Ihi3 or contempt. If he has prescribedThem that implies • " • (and who will deny that he has?) then '•''•^'•S "or place

they are wise, and the interests of piety and the honor of the Lawgiver alike de-mand that they should be strictly ob-serA ed. These terms, we have endeav-ored, in the light of Scripture, to present. , ^ These it is the du ty of everj- church "" "'t^''"-firmly to maintain. The Lord's table is spread in the Lord's house, not for all who may account themselves his chil-dren, nor for those who may choose, from any motive, to»share with- them in the feast, ba t only lor his children, who in the divinely appointed Tvay, have been recognized and received into his visible family.

2. I t is said: " W e hope to commune with I \ 'dobapt is ts in heaven, and the terms of church cotnmunion should, not be more rigid than those of admission into heaven."

This plausible apj.eal is addres.sed to the head—to the sympathies rather than to conscience. Has C^hrist, to Avhose authority we should all all bow, made it a rule tha t churches shall invite to their communion all persons whom they hope to meet in heaven ? Where is it reconl-ed? i r sucli a la%v exist.«. it is certainly verj- comprehen.sive. AVe hope to com-mune in heaven, not only with Pedobaj)-tists, both Protestant.^ and Catholics, but with nianv who w e n never baptized,

indifferent is to pour contempt on the Dn^ne p v e r n m e n t . If pue command ot Christ may be set aside, anolher' ,uay; If a positive precept may be annulled, so m a y a moral one; and thus his authority may be wholly subverted. His k w is not mere advice to be received, or modi-faed, or rejected at the pleasure of his subjects. " Y e are my friends," he says.

If ye do whatsoever I command you." The text under examination has no

reference to communion at the Lord's table. I t involves no pt-inciple which can fairiy be brought to bear on the question of restricted communion. Some weak Christians in Rome were conscien-tiously opposed to eating flesh ; and the apostle urged the brethren to bear with their infirmity concerning this indifferent ma t t e r ; but it is a grevious perversion •>f logic, to .infer from this atlvice tliat persons are to be received to church mem-bership and the Lord's table, who have neglected, or perverted the ordinance of baptism.

Once more ; "Close communion," it IS maintained, " hidicates a bigotry in-compatible with the spirit of the age."

Bigotry is a blind, proud, intolerant adherence to one's religious views. J t is an evil confined to no sect, party or age. It caused the death of the Son of G ^ . It has filled the worljl with strife, peree-cution and blood. W e dare not deny its cMstence among Bapt is t s ; an.l could wish right heartily that i u malign inftu-enee were limited to them. I t is f"air,

that their principles 1 erse to the spirit of

more earnestly in-I ^ist on soul liberty and personal respon-I >^il'ility than they do. They ha ; e no fel-i-wshi,, with sponsorial piety. Religious roereio-n is subversive of their fundamen tal principles. W e feel the importance of guarding most earnestly against this l-eniicious spirit. W e deny emphatically that keeping the ordinances as, according to our view, they were delivered to the primitive churches, in substance and or-der, without intolerance toward others, or superciliousness iu ourselvei», is bigot-ry; but i f , th is be -bigotry, then w / a r e bigots, and glory in our bigotry!

John seems to have concluded that one migh t cast out devils withoat being sent of Christ and that the wrong was in not keepin-company with " the twelve. Some antf-church people stUl t reat this case w i t h ' trifling enough to suppose that the per-son in question belonged to another church or society, beside those prfesent when John reported him. From snch opinion they draw the conclusion that if any individual or commnnity appear to be doing good, we must not object t o them, be they opposed to the doctrine ' and ordinances of Christ as much as they may. (Mark ix. 38.) Dr. A. Clarke was in this mood when he speaks as if that disciple and John were of different creeds. Dr. Clarke was doing Jmrt by this. He degrades the aposUes by slyly insinuating tha t they belonged to differ-ent churches, equally executing his com-mission and will, as if Christ had then, or ever h.-yj had different churches.

If Christ has one single"" church in the worid besides the Methodist, then Dr. Clarke belonged not to Christ's Church. And if any denomination except the Bap-tist, is the charch, or a church of Christ then the writer of this is not a member' qf Christ's Church. One denomination is Christ's church, and no others.

Mr. Henry and all the Comprehensive Commentary, blindly conclude that this man who did not follow with them, was no disciple at a l l ; or if he was, it was by accident, casting out devils by John 's authority. .Vjid then the learned Hea ry , from this case, justifies the scramble among all the sects, j u s t about making all of them right. See said Compre-hensive Commentary on this chapter and verse. Tlie sect.s, but not the church, stand in much need of Henry 's construc-tion. I t is bortlering on blasphemy t® sanctify our disputes and heresies by" our supposed errors in r e l a f i ^ t o Christ 's own personal disciples. But Mr. Henry discovers strange thmgs in this occur-rence. Pi ty for the student in theology who gives himself np to be guided by such works as the Comprehensive Com-mentary.

4. Nothing can be ^more'inconsistent than to admit those preachers into our pulpit» who hold and teach doctrine?, on account of which we would exclude ^ t h from our pulpits and churches an^ mnis-ter of our own denomination. Ih is , we claim, is one of the old landmarks of the Baptist Church. • j

5. That a body of immersea believere is the highest ecclesiastical authority in the worlil, and the only tribunal for the trial of eases of disciphne; that the acts of a church are of superior binding force o v # those of an association, convention, council, or presbytery—and no associa-tion or convention can impose a moral obligation upon the constituent parts composing them.

6. That since each church of Christ is an independent body,'no one church can expect any other to mdorse its acts, only 80 far as they are in strict accordance with the laws of Christ. If she excludes a member unjustly, any other church can restore him if it sees fit.

7. Whenever any church acts in viola-tion of the directions of her only Law-giver, as found in the I f ew Testament, she becomes rebellious—her acts nuU and void/ and all other churches, and associa-tions of churches and conventions, should withdraw their fellowship from her until she repents and rectifies her order, or they become the partaken of her sins.

8. That no association, or convention, or council, is a "court of appeal," or has any authority over the -churches, but is limply an advisory council; therefore, it has no right to dictate to the churches, or to demand support for any -project or scheme which it may originate, but may only recommend, advise, and urge to per-formance of duty in subserii-ience to the great Christian voluntary prindple.

9. When any church departs from the ^ailh, or viobtes the orcfer of the gospel m the judgment of the association, it can and should withdraw its fellowship from her and leave her to herself untU she re-pents. This is no interference with her. iHtemal regulation.

TOLEDO DBBATEr-Ibi 6. ^ ^ Mr. Wf igh t replied that it was l ^ n d

the power of Bro. Willi«n8 to repent iSr. Campbell feiriy; that h e J i a d ^ v e n only garbled extracts, whi<® w^^liery unfeits-H3aidM--Mi: eampbeH-beKeretf^ ^ that he g^d, T^ith jAe exjj^Mation^ qoalificationt "''an^' S^tinctR whictf he" gives, and with these we all believe it. But BroC Wiffiams does not give these. For the. firatb^inP-totioa he m ^ e , that " t h e Holy Spirit calls noth-ing personal regeneration ' except the act of immersion." Mr. Campbell says in ' connection with this, and before he says it, that " t h e Spirit of God is the beget ter , ' the gospel is the seed; and being thus begotten and quickened, we are bom of the water." * * * In one sense a person is born of his father, but not until he is first bora of his mother. So in every place where water and the Spjrit,or water and the Word, are spoken of, the tcater stands first. * * * Now as soon as, and not before, a disciple, who has been born and begotten of God, is bora of water, he is bom of Go<l or of the Spirit. But I can show you that the passages referred to by Bro. Williams, and all that he may refer to, do not prove remission of sins without baptism. But I wish to treat this subject logically, and therefore I will show you that God has had from the beginning a well de-fined law of pardon. The first law of pardon was that of sacrifice. God com-manded Cain and Abel both to offer a lamb that they might be pardoned. Cain refused to buy one," and offered gain merely; hence his offering was rejected and Abel's was accepted, because he complied with the law of pardon. And thus he was pardoned and obtained wit-ness that he was righteous. Now, the law of pardon is, first, faith; second, repentance; third, baptism; fourth, re-mission of sins; and God requires all these—we require no more #han he does. And Bro. Williams cannot show that sinners are pardoned before they are baptized. All those who would have the benefit of the law must comply with the law. God says that " in all places where he records his name he will meet with and bless the people." Formerly, he re-corded it at the altar of sacrifice, that there the people might expect and re-ceive pardon. Now he records it in bap-tism, that there we may expect and receive pardon.

Bro. Williams replied that he was glad that Mr. Wright had attempted to show that he misrepresented Mr. Campbell. But, said he, has he bettered it ? What are his adjuncts ? Why, that the water is the mother of the children of God; that as believers are expressly said in the Scriptures to be bom of God, so he says a persota is, in one sense, born of his father, but not until he is first bora of his mother. So that according to the qualification as given by Mr, Wright , no person can be bora of GotI until he is baptized. And here you have a 8{ieci-men of the " ancient gospel," as prcachcd by Campbellites. But how can Mr. Wright charge that I misrepresent Sir. C. when he now declares his agreement with Mr. C., and contends for the same doctrine ? Does not he say, as plainly as he can talk, that no one can now be par-doned before baptism, according to God's Word, and that I cannot prove it ? Mr. Wright refiises the offering of Cain and Abel, and he tells us that God had com-manded each of them to offer a lamb; that Cain refused to offer in kind what God required in a well defined law, and therefore was rejected. But Abel was accepted ; L e., justified, because he coin-plied with the law. Now there was no such law-—no such command had been given to either of them, from which we can draw such a conclusion. But Paul tells us how it was: " By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacri-fice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testi-fying of his gias."—Heb. xi. 4. The difference was in Abel's fiMth. Mr. Wright makes another mistake here, in

numbers o'r popularity. ' supposing that Abel was then pardoned. 2. To fulfill our peculiar mission, whicli It is said that " he obtained witness that

is to be the witnesses of Christ's truth jhe was righteous;" not that he was against every system of error, and those made so. Just as Abraham received the who originate or advocate them; and . . . . . - i t- .i • > .

5. Since right only, not might, is, right, a constitutional minority is in all cases the Scriptural church.

6. wt i unconstitutional or disordorly majority cannot exclude a member of an acknowledged constitutional church.

7. No chureh should receive the letters of, or the members baptized by, a disor-derly churcL Nor should it admit to its communion the members of such a.church, or in any way countenance or nphoM its disorder; it should keep no company with it that it mav be ashamed.

of ^ which isnby felA o«€»a»-€! i r i a»"«oto all-and npon -ttlf them that-beHeve."~Rom. uL 21, 22. And the Apostle goes on to show that through this medium God has revealed his grace and m e r c y t o man, " a n d de-c l a r e d ^ righteousness that he might be just, and the justified of him which believeth in Jesus," by this " boastmg is excluded, not by the law of works, but by the law of faith." Now read the fourth chapter of Romans, and if there is any meaning in language, you will see that Paul aflirms that Abraham was not justi-fied by works, but by faith. " Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness." And this right-t^usncss included the forgiveness of sins, for ho says: "Even as David also describetli the blessedness of the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered." Throughout this chapter Paul elaborates this truth, that Abraham teas, and all others xcho are

Justified at all, are justified bg faith in .Testis Christ. For in conclusion he says, " I t is not written for Abraham's sake alone; that it was imputed to him ; but Ibr us, also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him whorai.^ed up Jesus our Lord from the dead." But Mr. Wright says no, it shall hot be imputod to us till we are baptized. Paul says, " It is unto all and upon all them that believe." IMr. Wright says no, it is only unto those and ui)on those who have been baptized.

Bro. Williams read many similar pas sages from the Scriptures, and then said, If language can prove anything, 1 have proved that God, for Christ's sake, par-dons sinners when they believe in Jesus. The question is not whether it is the duty of bdievcrs to be baptize«l. It is, and so we teach and practice; but the ques-tion now is, have believers in Jesus God's promise of pardon. I have shown that thev have. And I will now show that such believers were pardonetl before baptism. " When Jesus saw their faith he said unto the sick of the palsy. Son, thy sins be forgiven thee."—Mark ii. 5. This man's sins were forgiven, but he was not then baptized, though he be-lieved. Now read Luke vii. 47 to 50 in-clusive : " I say unto thee her sins, which are many, arc all forgiven, for she loved much. And he said unto her, Thy sins arc forgiven. And he said tinto the woman. Thy faith hath saved thee." Could clearer testimony l>c given in proof of my position and against Mr. Wright 's than this? Again, Luke xviii. 14: " I tell you this man went down to his hoiv;c justified rather than the other," that is, this man was justified, while the other was not. I have shown that justi-fication includes pardon—yet he was not baptized. I refer to the thief on the cross, who prayed, " Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom," and was answeretl, " To-day thou shalt be with me in paradise." Now turn to the 10th chapter of Acts, and read it all. I refer you to the case of Cornelius and his friends. Peter evidently says of him that he was accepted of God. l ie says, xi. IT, "God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord JeSus Christ." In Acts xv. 7, 8, 0, he says, " God made choice among us, that the Gentiles, by ray mouth, should hear the Word of the Gospel, and believe. And God, who knoweth t h ^ e a r t s , bear them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as lie did unto >is; and put no difference between us and tbem, puri-fying their hearts by faith. Now here it is said of these disciples, fiii^t, that God accepted them; secontl, (ioil bear them witness that they believed; third, he purified their hearts by faith; fourth, gave them the Holy (ihost as he did unto the disciples at Jerusalem; and Peter says, •' and ])ut no difference between us and them." Now all this was before they were l)ai)lized. Then, according to Peter, tlve church at Jerusalem all re-ceived all those blessings before baptism; for he tells that church there was no <liffereiice. Do you want clearer tc.sti-mony in support of my i.osition than this?

GIVE YOITR SEASONS, BEO. OOOPES. In No. 40 of T H E BAITIST, Bro. Cooper

says, "Elihu 's views upon the manner of observing the Lord's Supper cannot be sustained by Scripture, in my judgment. Here are my two p r o p o s i t i o n s , to be dis-proved, if any can:

1. Jesus retired from the gaze of un-believers to institute his sacred supper.

2. There is no positive authority in the acts or writings of the Apostles for cele-brating tlie supper where unbelievers can gaze upon it.

And now I ask, is it not allowable for the disciples of Christ to learn of him and to foUow his example Even if it were possible for there to be a difference between the teachings of Christ and the teachings of his Apostles, must we follow the Apostles and tiisregard their Master? Who gave us authority to neglect the plain example of Christ ? I do not be-lieve there is any discrepency between the teachings of Christ and his Apostles. But should there be, how did it come to be right that the word and example of Christ must be set aside in favor of the £0(9 amd teachings of his followers? When there is ambiguity or uncertainty as to the neaning of any precept or example of Christ, we may tura to the writings of the Apostles and follow their interpretation. But when the excunple of Christ is plain and unmistakabUi, shall we tura from it to a doubtful and an ambiguous interpretation given by the Apostles ?

Open oommnnion destroys all discip-line. If a man preaches against eprinklmg and infant baptism they would exdade Mm for Juresy. While he is alone he is a dreadful transgressor, and could not be invited to commone. But let him follow a mnltitode to do evil—join the Bap-tists—thb act makes heresy harmlesB, and he is then invited to commune. This is trae of all the denominations. J Baptists consider Pedobaptist organ-izations unscriptural, and I suppose they think the same of ours.

I fTedobapt is ts unite with each other is it a union of doctrine aud practice ? Ig it such a union as exists, bet ween the-Father and the Son, a union of feeling and judgment ? The P'ather and Son do not agree to disagree, or nnite together to talk about subjects about which they agree, and keep silence on those on which they disagree. What kind of union is this ?

9 $ « V « * « When Baptists work -with Pedobap-

tists they lose all the shad and get all the minnows.- This company business with Pedobaptists is very poor business. See how it works in Halifax, Va. Bro. Blair, who baptized me, preached against it in 1832, and spoke also against free meeting houses. NowT?ittsylvania is in a far better condition than Halifas.

DEAR BKO. MAVS : Eld. Jordan and myself bad a protracted meeting at Mar's llill, two miles from Cane Creek. At the close of the meeting Bro. Jordan baptized five—four young men and one young lady. We did not have a mired meeting of Baptists and Pedobaptist preachers, and consequently we jjreached the \rhoU truth. W e collected all who were there. Some lived at a distance, and were not present when an invitation to join was given. Miss Ann Whit te i , a wealthy young lady belonging to a Presbyterian family, joined us and was ^ baptized.

The ehnrehof Cbrist is HIa kingdom; it« eon-ititation is diTise—BMrcdiaits mnthority—all-wise and perfect in i ts ^ a s . To alter, is to iiU'iiie i t ; bat it is more—it i s to alight God's wisdom, to interfere with his reign. Thus Papery began. Chnrch-offieers by degrees as-snmed new wiwers; new rites w e n introduced, new rules laid down; the unconTerted were reeeiTed, the ongodl j were ordained; man's win was exalted, God'a w i l l left undone. Change followed change, connption triumphed, and at length the Man of Sin was firmly seated on his throne. 1 QaL IT : 10-20; I Cor. T : 1-13 • 2 Thess. i i : 3, 4 ; 2 Tun. i i j 17,. 18; BeT. xiU: 3-17.

The question, therefore, is o f the greatest^ imporUnee: What ObiutitKiuH ha Chritt given ta JSt ekmluaT It is in c ^ e q n e n c e of their Tiews on this subject, that B^itistc churches differ in their constitution from all other churches. The points on which they differ from them, and their reasons for so differing, are as follow:—

L The Baptist churches regard it as Christ's will, that ail church members should be eon-terUd pa-Kiu. When Saul ^essayed lo join h i w l f to the disciples" at Jerusalem, they de-clined to receive him, because they "believed not that he was a disciple." It was not till they ascertained this, from hearing that he had "seen the Lord in the way," and had "preached boldly at Damascus," that they permitted him to be " With them, coming in and going out, at Jerusalem."—Acts i x : 20-28. All the mem-bers, also, of the first church, are addressed as jouut—Rom. i : 7; I Cor. i : 2; Eph. i: 1.

But in Pedobaptiat churches, many persons are members who are not reeeixed as conrerted. In the Episcopal and Presbyterian establish-ments, and some of the bodies formed by those who hare seceded from them, persons are receired to ^tU eommunion without evidence of their conTcrsion; and though the Congrega-tional Pedobaptists require proof of conrersion before receiving persons to the l«rd's table, and to fuU membership, they moa'Iy regard infants, and unconverted persons, when baptized, as members of inferior degree, ^ e Westminster Confession of Faith, which speaks the views of Presbyterians, and of many Congregationalists on this subject, says that the ehildrm of memler* «r» tienuelret memltert; mtkin the church. Some Independents differ from this view, but very many of them regartl both infants and the unconverted, when baptized, as connected, in some degree, with the church of Christ—; See Dr. Wardlaw and Dr. CampbelL)

Baptist churches, on the contrary, receive as members, those only who give credible evidence of their conversion; they do not acknowledge either infants, or the unconverted, as having any visible connection with the church of Christ. —Acts i i : 47; 1 Cor. Ui: 16, 17.

n . Baptist churches (stricUy so called) re-gMd i t as Chrisfs will, that all believers received to membership should be Jirit baptized. l i e New Testameat churches consisted wholly of baptiaed believers. Peter said to believers on the day of Pentecost, " Be baptiicd every one of yon," fnd they "were baptiied."—AcU i i : 38-41; s ^ also, i : 48. So that the Baptist chnrches./are, in this respect, " followers of the churches of Go-1," as first founded by ChrUt «ad His apostles.—1 ThessL iir 14.

But in doing so they differ from i l l other •horches; from the Quakers, who reject bap-

Mr. Hopson'a eacpoMtioa j e a l ^ to an-other result, ' ^ e ^great who are the subjects of Mr. Moore's enlogy, are now in helL " L C T H K B restored C o ^ science to its proper position, CAXTrs restored the Divine Sovereiffnty^ and WJ^IjBTj Hianan SesponaibUitify Yet Luther, Calvin, and Wpley, were not baptized, . and, therefore, according to Mr. H.'s dictum, are damned ? " Cer-tainly. Why no t?" These* men not only heard the " Amnesty Proclamation," bat preached it. They were neither in-fants, nor idiots, nor heathens, and they even knew that baptizo means immerae. For Luther translates it by a word mean-ing dip; Calvin says that immersion was the ancient practice, and Wesley agrees to the same. But why specify ? All the unbaptized—L e., unimmersed—however ilistinguished for piety and holiness, are damned, if Mr. IL properly interprets the gospel, and be is a " representative man," and his brethren in the ministry are " a uni t" on this "vital question."

If these ministers are right, it becomes us to know it, and then instead of seek-ing for a union between Baptists, as such, and Disciples, we should abandon our errors and join in to swell the tide of the " Current Reformation."

Is Mr. IL, then, right ? The first thing that strikes ns in this

"great speech" is, that he alters his text and in^erppbttes the word repents. This he has no right to do. If Jesus said, " He that believes and is baptized shall be saved," we are not authorized to interpo-late another word, because Jesus on an-other occasion said that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name. If there are two terms in the proposition of Jesus, we have no right to add a third. If a heathen having S^rk's gospel, yea, having nothing but this sin-gle, unadulterated text, receives it in an honest heart, keeps it, cherishes and obeys it, he must be saved or the honor of the Great King is lost!

Indeed, if what Mr. IL says on the

proves, as to this purpose, a W e take the negative part of the text,

t ^ t believeth not he shall be ^amn-i^d apply the logical ibrmuia. i

Jadi»i&^one not believing; therefore Jadaais damned. Again wc have a valid conclusion.

Here, then, salvation is expressly de« nied to all who do not believe: no such denial can be showed in reference to a lack (Of baptism. I t is expressly said, "He that believeth not shall be damned-" I t is nowhere said. He that is not bap-tized shall be damned.

Here, then, we have one verj- essential distinction in the Savior's teaching be-tween faith and baptism.

Again, we have the text, " Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." (Acts xvL 31.) This text as-sures salvation to the jailor, and to all, as the result of believing. No such text can be shown in reference lo baptism. Here is a second distinction, as taught by the apostles. The same distinction is taught, John iiL 36.

In like manner we have plain teaching as to the need of repentance. " Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke xiii. 3.) Can any similar teaching be fouud in regartl to baptism ?

What, then, are the facts ? Ist. The preacher's text does not con-

tain the proposition wliich he maintains, viz: That without baptism no one can be saved.

2d. The same text does contain the proposition, that without faith no one can be saved.

3d, Another text shows that without rej)entance no one can be saved.

4th. No text can be produced that de-nies salvation for lack of baptism.

5th. There are texts which affirm sal-vation of faith and of repentance, with no reference to baptism.

These facts are sufficient to establish the proposition that- in the teficliings of Scripture, tliere is a broad distinction as to the importance of faith and repent ance on the one hand and baptism on the other, in relation to salvation.

We now revert to Mr. H.'s exception, as to the heathen, from the application of the "Amnesty Proclamation." Besides the passage already quoted, he says, " We and they [i. e., ' Protestailt sects,'] agree that saved or damned in the proc-lamation applies to those, and those only, who have an opportunity to hear the gospel, and who, in years and in reason, have the ability to nnderstand it—to ac-cept or reject it." (p. 282.)

We understand Mr. H. to mean that as idiots and infants, so also the heathen, may be, or are saved without faith, re-pentance, and baptism. If so, how and why are the heathen saved? In the Millennial Harbinger, December, 1S67, there is an article of Alexander Camp-bell, reprinted from the Christian Bap-tist, of March, 1824. This article is high-ly commended by the editor, Jlr. W. Iv. Pendleton, also one of the "representa-tive meu" =of the " Living Chfi.olian Pul-pit." In a note to thLs article, Mr. Camp-bell says, " With respcct to pagans and all incapable of hearing the wi>rd; tlie Scriptnros do not teach ns what Plato has taught thousands of modern divines. The regeneration of pagans without the word, is a dogma not quite so rational as the dogma of a regoner:iti»)H atU-r death in purgatory."

Can the pagans be savi-d without generation? How then are thov ssved ?

ftom all open communionbts, whether Baptists, or Pedoba{^st3, who admit persons without being baptized at all; instead of requiring, a:i the apostles and first churches did, that .-all believers should b» baptized before being re-eeivadto membership and communion. Christ has given to Hia churches no Jupaum/ power to set aside His laws; no U^lative power to make new ones; but has enjoined on t iem to "observe ail tUngt mhiUMoettr ' He has commanded, (Matt, xxvi i i : 20) ; and, if ever tempted to neglect Hia Uws, "to obey God rather than men."— Acta T: 29.

m . . ^ p t i s t churches regard it u Chrisfs will that all church members should Jb« vohmlarg mtmbtra; that none should be mai^ members, either against their will, or without their taowledge. God is a Spirit, and those who wtirehip Him mast do so in tpirit and in truth, (John iv ; 24); their service must be that of love, faith and obedience.—1 Cor. x i i i : 1; Rom. ziT: 23; Bom. xv i : 26. They must "yield thm-Klmt onto God, as those who are alive from the dead."—Hum. vi : 1:!. Tu. every part of their service, they mast have "first a willing mind," (2Cor.Ti i i : 12): must first give themselves to tha Lord, aud then to the church, by the will of God.—2 Cor. viii: 5.

But thu votuatary manbtrthip is opposed to the eoB^nUnaa used by many national establishments, and to the fines, imprisonmeat, or worse penal-tie^ by which membership has been enforced; U is equally opposed lo the initiation of mcon-teuna infants by b.iptism; and to membership bj birth.

IT. Baptist churches maintain that Christ requires holy activity in eviry membfr. Church members are spoken of in Scripture as lively atones," forming part of "a spiritual house,'" which is devoted to God.—I Pet. i i : 5. The

;The young are to ha instructed, (Eph. vi : -Ij; the unruly wumed. the feeble-minded comfoH^L the weak supported, I'hess. v : 14); those who rejoice, rpjoice'r with; those who iveep, sympathized with; thn-ie who are bereave<l. t!«u ited.—Jas. i : 27. To the ungodly the gospel is to be made known, (1 Thess. i : 8) ; and good done to all men.—<}:«!. vi: 10. l a some parfol" these labors oil tiie memberii of Baptist churches can engage. But the 'if'-a / jnm5«T» of worlilly establishments c^itinot, nor can the i y ^ i mcmben of any Pedobaptlac clitixclies. They can have no part nor lot In tU<; m —' r,

V. Baptist chixrcke^ believe it to be Christ's will, that what is spent in Uis service should be yivea with ready mil, and that every church mem-ber, who ia ubU, sroi 'd ihus give. When •naking a coUeoiou lui ure poor saints at Jeru-salem, the apostle says " Aa I have given order

was no need for him to manufacture an "-\ranesty Proclamation" varying from the terms of The King. He says: "Be-lieve, here used in its broader meanin includes repentance." If this is so—if. in the offer of and acceptance of salva-tion, belief, believing, faith, inclndea re-pentance—then repentance is a part of faith, and "the conditions precedent" to salvation are not three, as Mr. H. and his brethren contend, but only accord-ing to his own showing, viz: Faith and Baptism.

Again, if faith includes repentance, in the ofler and acceptance of salvation, all that the Disciples of the "Current Refor-mation," so-called, insist npon as to the order of conversion, falls to the ground ; for repentance becomes a part of faith, and wherever faith exists as a whole, rci)entanceits included part, of necessity, exists also.

But in fact believing does not include repenting; and repentance is no part of faitli. Paul distinguishes between them so clearly that it seems impossible to make such a mistake as to suppose that one includes the other. Faith is "toward our Lord Jesus Christ," and repentance is "toward God." But of this, more hereafter.

Mr. IL denies that either the Savior or the apostles make any distinction as to tUe " respective importajice" of faith, repentance, and baptism, or "distributing them into essential and non-essential," as terras of salvation. We are prepared to meet this issue and to show that the Savior and the apostles do make this very di.<tinction, not u.sing, of course, Mr. H.'s words, but words that cover the

The Constitution was again amended in l866, at Russelville; and while there is no evidence in the mmutes of proceed-ings that this article was changed ^ all by clerical mistake, I suppose, it was so printed 8.H to appear that it had . been amended by striking out the bwt sen-tence commencing with "The President, and in_the event of his death," etc. This, if an error, has remauied unchallenged to the present time, even though this AUTicLE was submitted to revision and amendment by the Convention at Mem-phis. I tnist that all will see, from this showing, that the Board and Presideht have no constitutional right to act at all in the premises.

D, had greatly ingratiatetl himself into my favor by the many pretty things which he pub-lished for the dear little folks of the Sabbath school. But he made a disclos-ure, recently, which astonished me very much. .jVnd here it is:

Question No. 3.—"Was Christ bap-tized by immersion ? "

Answer—" We do not think he was; but the little readers of the Gem cannot understand the arguments in the case ; hence we will not give them."

No, Dr. Gein, they cannoU The ar-guments to substantiate this proposition winds so mysteriously through the dark, zigzag, mazy labyrinths of tradition and error, that surely none but a Pedobaptist D. D. can comprehend them.

But, Doctor, if you have any sprightly little boys or girls, ten or twelve years of age, I can take their Sabbath school Tes-taments, and read to them the beautiful history of the baptism of Jesus, as re-corded in the first chapter of Mark, and they will understand it. Yes, let them read the pure, unadulterated Word of God, without note or comment, and with-out the arguments, aud they will easily coinpreheml it.

i"ji>t, reatl to them John iii. 23, "Aud

All persons believing and baptized are saved;

.T<thn is a person believing and bap-tized ; therefore John is saved.

Tlie conclusion is valid and indisputable. Let us take it negatively: X is Y, Z is not X ; therefore Z is not

Y'. The logician tells ua that we have here the illicit process of the major term, and that the conclusion ia false. Apply thu formula to the text.

All persons believing and baptized are (iaved;

Martin Luther is a person not (believ-ing and baptized), therefore Martin La-ther is not saved.

The- conclnsion, as in the preceding formula is invalid, and for the same reason, or, in other words, because,though salvation is promised to a certain class, it

tive men" difler on this "vital :i7id mate-rial (inestion?" Or is this .incstion not considered "vital and material ? " It is vital, nevertheless, for if the heathen can be saved without Christ arid the gos-pel, it is hard to see why otheiv mi^ht not be equally saved witliont Chrtst or the gospel; and if so, Christ was cruci-fied for nought, and tlie gospel i» preacbcd for nought.

SOUTHEEN BAPTIST OOHVEHTION. Providence • permitting, the Southern

Baptist Convention will meet, according to its own apjmintment, at Baltimore, on Thursday before the second Lord's day in May next.

Respectful attention has been sriven to the request of valued brethren that the meeting be postponed for a year; but no action has been taken in the premises, first, because two of the Boards have not united in the request, as prescribed hy the Constitution ; second, because even with such concurrence, I have no right to act iji the existing state of things, a::d for the reason given. With the Consti-tution printed as it ought to be, the President has no right to make the pro-posed change for any reason short of famine, pestilence or war; with the Con-stitution printed as it is, he has no authority in the premises at all

At the meeting at Savannah in 1861, the Constitution was so amended as to make its art. xiL read as follows:

" The Convention shall hold its meet-ings biennially, but extra me«tings may

thiTt.. lNe.\t, turn to Mark i. 5—"And there

went out unto him all tlie landof Judea, ami thty of .lerusaieni, and were all bap-tized of liim in the river of Jordan, con-fessing their sins."

But omit the arguments, for they are too Iiard for children to understand, and they are only intended to mystify and confuse.

Lastly, let them read the baptism of .Jesus. (Mark i. 0-11.) "And it came to pass in thosL'days, that Jesus came from Naz&reth of Galilee, and was baptized ->r John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove <lescending upon him : and there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

And now, just let me ask three plain questions that children can understand.

1. Daughter, did you see the Baptist minister immerse those men and women in the Cumberland river last Sabbath ?

Y'es, sir. 2. Did you, in the afternoon, see Dr.

tr<m, when he baptized those infants in the meeting house, by pouring a little water out of a pitcher upon their heads?

Yes, sir. 3. Which of tbesti two ministers imi-

tated John when he baptized Jesus ? Answer—yes, answer. Which ? Oh,

which? And h^re I desire, briefly, to present a

portion ^ the argument—not for chil-•dren, however, for they can understand it without the argument. And not for

, tbat !y over

a c e a ^ ^ J J o n e

w n ^ in t h e ^ G ^ k ^ i ^ a g e , lujd to Mttle t h i a ^ t r p v e i ^ i r e ^ obliged to learn whit » the iSwt ^ i f i c a U o n of the , Greek word, wlOot in the English is translated bcg>tize. , And first let ns go to the Greek lex? cons: - • • a-1.-?-? .

1. Bonnegan, Baptizo, To immers^ re-' r e p s a t ^ y into a Uquld, to submerge, to sink thoj^ughly, to saturate, ^ , \^^^

2. Baptizo, in Groves' lexicon. To dip, immerse; immerge, plunge, wash, cleanse, to purify. —

3. Greenfield, Baptizo, To immerae, immnrge, submerge, sink. '

Many others might be adduced. But let three Suffice.

S^ondly,we will examine some of the testunony given us by eminent^ivines.

1. Matin Luther—"The term baptism is a Greek word. It may be rendered a dipping, when we dip something in water, that it may be entirely covered with water."

2. John Calvin—"The word baptize signifies to immeiw, and the rite of im-mersion Was observed by the ancient chureh."'

3. Chalmers—"The original meaning of the word baptism is immersion."

4. Prof. Moses Stuart—"Bapto and bap-tizo mean to dip, plunge or immerse into anything liquid,"

5. John Wesley—" Savannah, 1736, Feb. 2l6t Mary Welch, aged eleven days, was baptized according to the cus-tom of the first cbnrcli, and the rule of the Church of E n g i r d , by immersion."

Out of the great multitude who testify to the same truth, let these five distin-guished witnesses suffice.

In the third place, we will advert to the testimony of the Greeks themselves. Every nation understands its own bn-giiage Itest. And donbtless, the Greeks understand Greek better than we do. But history declares that the Greeks have always baptized by immersion fhim the days of the apostles until the present time. And those who baptize by immer-sion understandfereek just asthe Greeks do themselves.

Havbg proven conclusively that ^ p -tizo means to immerse, I will in the next place fortify my position by defining the signification of the Greek preposition eis.

Get your Greek Testimeni, and read Mark L 9.: " i u n ebaptioAe upo Joaniiou eie ton Jbrdanen.'" Ms b translated into in the following places in this chapter: 1. In the 12th verse, "into the wilder-ness." 2. In the H t h , " into Galilee." 3. In the 2Ist, "into Capernaum—into the synagogue." 4. In the 29th, " into the house." 5. In the 35th, " into a solitary place." 6. 4.nd in the 45th, "into the citv."

Thus you sec that into is the most general and usual signification of the Greek preposition eis, and in this sense it is employed hundreds of times in the New Testament.

We are now prepared for the transla-tion : "Juii ebaptisthe xtpo Joannou eis ton Jordanen.'"'' "And was immersed of John {eis tonJordanen) into the Jordan."

Oh, no, says Dr. Gem, it, cannot be so. I do not believe one word of i t ! And why do you not believe it ? Not because it is untrue ; but because you do not want it to be true.

Well, Doctor, please be so kind as to give us your Greek, for " Was immersed of John into the Jordan," since yoa are so much opposed to ours. And, Doctor, so soon as your little folks grow large enough to understand the arguments, please inform thera that cis means into. And by this rule bid them test the va-rious ways for themselves.

Thus: 1. Anil Jesus was of John into the Jordan. 2. And Jesus was poured of John into the Jonlan; Z. And Jesus was immersed of John into the Jordan.

But if a doubt should still rest »ipo>< the minds of any, be honest, and tc" them that all the lexicographers unite in testifying that ebaptigthe means "was immersed."

Finally, a few words to my brethren will close this communication. Dear brethren, let Pedobaptist schools, periodicals, and publications alone, and unite all your energies to build, uu yoiu own schools, and to encourage your own literature. Thus you will cease to fr'> h aid and comfort to those, who, by their traditions, are striving to subvert the plainest teachings of the Word of God.

TOK CA](FBEI .LITES.

L The Baptist Churches are either true ehnrches of Christ, or they are false.

2. If true churches, then the sect originated by Hr. Campbell in IS27, is a adusm, and false, and he and his first followers haring been ex-communicated from.the.Baptists bare no author-ity to baptne.^' ' ' ^

8. If Baptist Churches are not churches of dizist, then all Campb^ts miniatera are on-baptized and without anthority to baptize.

Now, Campbellite m&^fers deny that Baptist Chnrches are the true churches of Christ Tiai-Ue, or that the design of their baptum is scrip-tormL They are, therefore, all nnbaptized and mmiained. Bat suppose they grant that Bap-tist Chnrches are tho tme churches tif Christ. Campbellites, then, manifestly are schismatics,

ftTiag been excommnnicated as heretics and ^ ehismatiea.

Again: If the desigH of baptism u adminis-ilared-by Baptists is scriptural, i then are the baptisms at CampbeilTtca invalid, and null and Utd, because t h ^ da not practise it. But if the baptisms of Baptists are nnscriptural be-

-eanse of its design, then are all Campbellites nnbaptixed, becanae Mr. Campbell and the first Campbellite preachers had no other.

Ans^r these qnestions as they will, they stand epnrieted of imposing npon the credulity of the i^ple.

If Protestants and Campbellites cannot meet these dilemmas, they rest impaled upon the third—"we cannot tell"—and this makes a " IVOemma," a Vcrte homed difficulty. See litiU bocktntUUd Trilemma. for tie hutory and erjWKent —pneafytif eentt. Soadaeetttrn Puhlithiag Ilouie.

arose and said, by way of pr^ace to his sermon: . . ..

As we approach the close of this Dis-pensation, the, opinion generally,prevails that religion will spread o jer the whole earth, "as tho waters cover the great deep"—that the leopard and the kid shall lie down together, that peace and good will shalf reign throughout the whole world, and man's inhumanity, and cruel-ty, and wickedness cease forever... This opinion exactly contradict the teachings of the Savior, and his apostles, in refer-ence to the latter days. According to their teachings, scoffing infidelity will abound,' and mocking and denying God's t m t h shall prevail moro and more, as the glorious period of the Savior's sec-ond advent approaches. In proof of tliis, turn and read Paul's 2d Epistle to Timo-thy, the 3d, and' a portion of the 4th chapters. [He here read the sai'nc.] The choir then sang—

"Softly fade the twilight hours," etc. After which the speaker said:

This is the most solemn liour of niy life. Thero are "men In this house whose immortal destinies may be determined by the manner in whidh the subject shall be treated, l l i e y may be led to reject God's Holy "Word, and receive instead the doc-trines of demons—" of devils," or they

I ansAver, then, first—These gpiritsare not those of good angels, or of good men, if Ad once lived vpon the eartJu The Bible say?, "Trj- the spr i t s And every spirit thatconfesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God," etc. These cannot be, then, the spirits of good angels or' good men, because they deny_ the God of the Bib le ; they deny that Christ is D i v i n e ; they deny that he came in the flesh to make atonement for sin; they deny that men are saved alone through his sacrifice and mediation; they deny tho heaven and hell of the BibFe, and all its great doctrines; they declare the Bible itself to be a dis-grace and a reproach to the being of a Goil. Would the spirits of good angels or good men express such senti-ments—ileelare such opinions ? It is im-|K>#sible to believe they would, as long as we receive the Bible for truth. John says, " Every spirit that confe.sseth not that Jesus Christ has come into the ^yorld —[L c., as a sacrifice and a propitiation for sin,] is not of God. This is tliat spirit of anti-Christ, whcret>f ye have

l i'"' hcara^ ttuii it shou l i wint', aasJ svwu uow, is .already in thu world." Hence, Ibeliece these spirits to l>e fallen angels. I believe as the Bible teaches, in unfallen angels, messengers of God to perform errands

! of 'mercy to the heirs of salvation. I be-lieve the aft'airs of this dispensation have been largely committed into the hands of these angels.

In those d a y s , ! Dan ie lV i s lmot i re i i^ , ftill three weeks, I ate no" bread,' nor wine. A n d behold 'a'hand touched-me, which set me^pon m y knees^ and upon the palms of my hands . ' A n d he said unto me, O Daniel,"a man greatly beloved, understand the -words I speak unto thee. . . . . Fear not, Danie l : for from the first day, that thou didst set thine heart to understan d, and t o chasten thyself before thy God, thy words v e r e hearil, and I am come for'thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days, but l o ! Michael, one of the chief princes, came to" help me, and T Trmained there with the Kings of Persia. Now'^I'am come," etc.

From this,, it appears the angel that had been sent by God from heavea to answer the prayer of his servant Daniel , had been intercepted by the chicfdc^mon of Persia, the one whose province it was to watch over the inferior demons of that kingdom, and was by him made a prison-er, and retained for twenty-ono days, when Michael came from heaven to re-lease him. Then he proceeded to fulfill his mission—to answer the prayer of Daniel, who for these three weeks had given himself to fiisting and prayer. The good angel seem* to have apologized to Daniel for his long delay, before answer-ing his prayer.

Angels, good or bad, are jyotcerful be-ings. They have not material bodies, and are altogether independent of the laws of matter—of nature. Though i>os-sessed of imponderable bodies—ot bodies immaterial—yet they are superior to the laws of matter, and control it at will. It has been asked, in niockerj', "iHow

And it is truly mortifying, and alarm-ing too, when such a practice is inaugu-rated in the only Baptist College in N e w England. It is of fearful augury. W e are not so liberal as tho editor of the Recorder. W e are not in favor of everv body repeating the Lord's prayer. It does not belong to everybody—it was not given to everybody, and it is mock-ery for everybody to repeat it, e.vcept those for whom it was given—i. e., those who can say Our Father—Abbe Father. We don't teach it to our children, as some do. Its tendency would be to make for-miilists and Pharisees of them.

Brethren, 1 believe in the efficacy of prayer; so do you. Let all who believe in the power of prayer unite in the peti-tion, that God will this night bless his tmthj for we have met tOruight to battle -with error in its strongest form. Let us pray. [Here a most fervent anff devout prayer was offered.] After singing by the choir, the preacher announced as his text, 2 Thess. iL 11,'12: ; ,

The doctrine of my text is, that God will send strong delusions upon the worldly, the sinner, the ungodly, and leave them to believe a lie, because they inject and will not' believe his truth.

Fa i th n in s t r a t ed . Q S E of the moat beautiful and touching illus-trations of faith, in the particit lar aspect of trust and obetlienee, is contained in the follow-ing incident, which recently occwred in one of the public aehooTs'iu Phihidelphia. One day, while ihe sch Htl was in session, a transom win-dow fell out wiih a crash. Dy same means the cry of - f i r e " was raised, and a terrible panic ensued. The scholars rushed into the street, ahrieking in wild dismay. The alarm extended to the teachers also, one of whom, a young l .dy , actually jumped from the window. Among the hundreds of children with whom the buiUing was crowded, was one girl , 'among the best in-the school, who, through all the f r ightful scUne, maintaine.J entire composure. The color indeed forsook her cheek. Her lip'^qaiTered. The tears stood in her eyeg. But she mored not. After order had been restored, and her companions i a d been brought back to their places, the ques-tion was asked her how she came to s i t so still, without apparent alarm, when ererybody else WM In such a fr ight . " M y father," said she, ^ ta a fireman, and knows what to do in such a case, and he told me, if there was an aUm> of fire in the school, I must j u s t si t stilL" "What a beautiful i l lustration of f a i t h ! " M y father

_LITTLE aefn are the elements of t rue great-ness. They raise life 's Talue l ike litUe figures orer the larger ones in arithmatic, to i ts highest power. They are testa of character and disin-terestedness. They^ a re t i e attawa npoa life's deceitful current, ihat show the w i r r e n t s way. The heart comes out in them. They more on the dial of character and responsibility signifi-cantly. They indicate the character and des-t iny . They help to make "the immortal man. It matters not si> mach wacre we are. I t is seldom, that acta of moral heroism a r e called for. Bather the real heroism of life is, to do all i ts little duties promptly and faithfully.

Ho. 6 0 . The Test of Doctrmo.

J T is a remarkable fact that all the heresies which have arisen in the Christ ian church ha re had a decided tcndaney to dishonor God and to flatter man. They ha re always had for their coTcrt, i f not for their open, aim the exaltation of human naftire, and the casting dowif-of Di-Tine grace. Robbing Ged of the glory which i« due unto his name, these false prophets would shed a counterfeit hi&trc upon the head of the rebellioha and depraTed croature. On the other, hand, the doclrincs of the gospel, commonly tnown aa the doctrines of gmce, are distinr gnished for Ihis peculiarity abore every other namely, t h a t ^ e r sink the creature very low, and present the Lcr>i Jehovah before us as sit-t ing upon a throne, higb and lifted up. So true is tiiis, that the most uneducated Christian may, cTPu if he !« iacapitWe of refut ing an erroneous

filTTfir"? able to discorer its un-trnthftilne""-. if it glorifies man at the expense af flod. The mcrryt- hahe in grace may carry this test with h im; in the midst of the diversity of opinions with which he is snrrounded, he may always judgr . infallibly too, of the truth or filsehoo*! of of a Jocir ine by eating it thus— "Docs it glori.'y G o d ' If it be «o, it is true. "Does it e i a l t m a n ? " Then it must be false. On the other hand, does i t , lay man very low, and ."peak of him in terms which tend to make i him feel his dejrradation ? Then dcmbtless it is tVJ of truth.

Sinners arc represented as ensnared, as being taken captive. They at times be-come alarmed and make efforts to break away from the power of sin.

B E T N E L H I L L , N.C., February 17, 1868. J. R. GRAVES—Dear Sir:—.\fter my respect.",

I have to-say to you, Dr. Foote's Eye Sharpener has proved a success. 1 am now enabled to read all onl inary print after using the Eye Sharpener nearly two months, and I am now writ ing with-out my glasses, and feel under many obligations to yourself for your timely notice of so valuable an instrument; for had I not had the utinest confidence in yon, as a man of integrity, I should to-day have been groping in darkness, without my spectacles, whereas I now have a pretty clear vision.

The Eye Sharpener is certainly one of the greatest inventions (ff the age in which we live. Dr. Foote and myself are utter strangers to each other, nevertheless, yon will please be so kind as to tender to him my grateful acknowl-edgment for his great invention, which has and will prove one of the greatest blessings to man-kind yet known to the civil ized world. Say to him, for me, that it would be truly grat i fy ing to have^the pleasure of meeting with him and forming the acquaintaiice of one who has been so fortunate as to invent an instrument, which, in my judgment, wil l be worth tens of thousands of dollars to mankind, not only i n America, but throughout the whole civil ized world, and should time continue long enough, millions who are ye t unborn wi l l rise up to render many heart-felt thanks to him who has conferred such a great benefit on the human family, and should i t ever be my lot to vis i t the town in which he resides, I shall avail myself of the opportunity of hnnU tng him up and seeing him in person and shake his hand. Very respectfolly,
