I seldom enter a Catholic Church in I ta ly wi thout feeling that religion has become, w i th many, a pure form, a more lip-Horvice, and thai rel igious duties are a sort of iienapce. Instruc tion is rare and meagre, and very un-sat isfactory, and seldom of a k ind to give a shadow of real t^oinfort to a hungry soul. Besides, the teaching is often very erronoou.s and mislead-ing, and tho consequence is that sad and fatol ignorantMt of go.ipol t r u th is very general, yeo, almost t inivorsol.

Thousands can give you no gomi reason for half tho th ings they do, tho only response one often gets being a slgnif lcant shrug of the shouldors. They have always b l ind ly fol lowed the priests, most of whom anxiously and jealously discourage any tend-ency to doubt and InqulsitlvonoBs, this being coDslderod a special and danger-ous temptot iou of the devi l .

I t is claimed that the l i gh t before one pecul iar ly sacretl Image in Rome has been bu rn ing cont inuously for several ceni i i r ies, the oil never having been replenished d u r i n g a l l that t ime.

F. \V. Roliertson and Norman McLeod | impressed iiie witii the inestimable grace and worth of a preacher's man-linesB. To me, the pre-eminent value of those lKX)ks, was the making of littleness and meanness despicable, and the roinvigoratlon of niy viewR concerning nobleness and nianlinesH in the pulpit. A minister can hardly read them without acquiring a fooling of scorn for the llttlenims of egotiam, prido, selfiHhneHN and hate.

All in all, I l)oliovo " Uobertsou'H Sermons" are the moat stimulating I have ever read. They never pall on the taste. Thoy combine with singular beauty of exprcRHfiion don-alty of thought, and groat intonnity of moral oarnontnoaa.

In the preparations for the pulpit, the Bible with its variety of literature should lie the principle study. There is no lKX)k in all the realms of litera-ture that contains such a vast store of Hubjectn an<l themes. Whatever, therefore, will help tounl(K-k ItamyR-teries ought to be utilized. I try to make every book I read aid me In thlH lino of my studies. In this line may lie classed critical reviewa, and Homiletical works, such as Dr. Broadun' " Preparation and Dolivory of Sermons," Vinet's "Outlines of Theology," Vinefa "Gospel StudioB." Andrew Fullers' works. Along thin lino alno may bo clansnd Hovornl Com-moutarius, auch oa Matthow Henry, Jamelson, Faunot and Brown, Adam Olark; tbo "Amorican Conmiontary on tho New ToHtnmont," "Din-couraoH ou I{odomplion,".liy Btunrt Robertson: "Dictionary of the Bible," by Bev.

I have not read the Dickens of Ameri can social life. I have sought rather extensively, but have to say that up to the present I do not know tho author who has done for America any-thing like what Diekena has done for England. There is a little scamp of a book, "Thinks I to Myself," half of which is quite clevory done. I must say 1 do not know what the lost half contains. It touches olT some Ameri-can people. .

In tho study of history and tho life of nationa there are four booka that doHorve to livenlwaya. Abbott'n " Life of Napoleon," Hoadley'a "Na-poleon and his Marahalfl,,' Green's "History of tho English Pooplo" and Motloy'a " Rise and Fall of tho Dut«h Republic."

BAPTIST AND llEPLBOTOE, J A N . 14, 1892. 3 08 tho Biblo. Every otiier book I have boon accustoniod to tako with njore or less doubt of its truth. While I have no more faith than other men I havo always regarded the Bible as a mine of absolute truth. Should the tinio over come when 1 cannot bo re-gard it to me the world will bo go<l-loBs and eternity without the sem-blance of promise or a ray of ho|je.

To mo tho most helpful commen-tary on any part of the Bible, that t have over seen, is the " Troawury of David." ItN cliiof value is in its sug-giwtiveness. It so helps a man to think. It brings one into such close communion with Hie Divinity of the Psalms.

John Bunyan's "P i l g r ims Prog ress " and his " Holy War " wore the books of my cliildhoo<l. 1 read them aloud to mother while she worked when I was so young thai 1 thought the "Immortal Dreamer 's" "City of Destiuction, " "Town of Man's Soul," etc , wore unmistakable reali-ties. Ill maturer years I have again and again revelled in his startling imagery. Suggestions from Bunyan havo furnished me many a sermon and much food for relle»'lion. In so far as I have be<'n ust»ful in tlio dis semination of a complete salvation : very much is liiie to impn^ssions re-ceived from Bunyan's books. Next to his works iwrhaps I should place the sormons of Spurgeon's early minis-try. Strange to say, his later sermonH have not loft such deep impressions. Still, however, no sermons to which I havo access are as helpful.

Of monthly periodicals none havo l)een so valuable to me as y-(»)•</'(. ChriKtinu HeiKmtory. It has kept step with the times; but has nevw gone in advance.

".lUVENILE CnniNTlAN PRECOCITY." In The Baptist of Boaton 1 recently

read an intorosting account of tho mooting of tho Maryland Union Asso-ciation. It stated that on Wodnes: day night the topic for considoration was tho work of the Maryland Baptist Young People's Union. They had good BpeochoB, and tho niinistera present heartily endorsed tho work of tho young pooplo. Tho reporter says: " It proved a most inspiring mooting, and all felt that it was goo<i to bo there."

I All seemed to be so enthused by tho meeting, and the report of what tho young people wore doing, tiiat a brother Clarke, with some facetious remarks, " added a pleasant bre<t/.e

' to the mooting" by olTering the follow I ing resolution: I /<e«o/rcf/. That we take into con sidoration tho propriety of forming

I an Old People's So<'iety for the reg ulation of juvenile Christian pre cocity.

In offering this resolution, ive infer from Bro. Clarke's facetious remarks that he really approvml the work of the young people and took thi.i mode

, of complimenting their zeal. Yot I his I resolution reminds mo forcibly of the pessimistic writers and papers that are constantly discussing the impro-priety of young {joople's associations for Christian work, laymen's societies and women's mission societies, saying these societies are outside of the church and all wrong.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

A HOOK THAT IIA.S IHIEATLV IN ri.l'KVCKD »IK.

When I loft the Seminary fortheac tive duties of the pastorate, I settled at Hornando, Miss. I was young in every respect—young in yearn and exporioncit. But the people opened their hoarts for tho young pastor and his young wife, Tho memories of those early years are still green and very fragrant.

Maj. Chalmers, a lawyer in Her nando, who afterwanis iHKramo hon-ored and diBtinguiahod in his pro fossion and in high ofTicos which ho filloil in tho land, was a warm friend of the young pastor, oft«n camo to hoar him proach, and by pleasant words and in other ways encouragod him in his work. The custom of my friend was loaning books, sending ovor bright nrtioles. One day a ser-vant brought two lK>oks with a note from the Major saying the books con-taiuod the sermons of F. W. Robert-son, of Brighton, England. They were remarkable; he wanted mo to read them. I opened the books; I read ovoiything; I wanted hla life; I got hie life. Those sermona, that life, so spiritual, so beautiful, atrug'gling to thel igh^ away from traditional be-lief to hla own personal eiperienoe with contact with Ohriat. I have

aga in . Everybody loved him. He was

called the working mnn's friend; he worked with them, lectunnl for them, and trieti in every way to open up the l)eButies of literature to them, and the i-omfort and help of the gospel for them. Some said: It is very strange; with your refined seuBibili-ties, you have so great a concern for the working man. He said: My tastes are with the refinoii, but my heart is with the mob.

Ho dietl in his prime. His after influence has been really greater than his living. His published BomionB lot tho world kno»v that u great preacher had fallen, and a beautiful hfe had boon lived.

In ills last illnoBB, when sufToring from groat pain, a friend wanted to change his position. "No," ho said; " lot God's work go on." So it went on and consummated in his death. Those dying words havo coutinned in my heart in times of pain, sorrow, trouble, death. Lot God's work go on. Amen! P. R. BosT- ft.

A llelprnl Thought.

—It will not make the flies of hell any cooler to remember that you were called " a pretty good ao^t of a fellow "oQ earth.

Though these writers and editors I may not think of it, their objections ; are nothing new. They aro the very I same argumentfi the Hardshell w riters ! made fifty and sixty years ago against our missionary societies, Bible socie-ties, tract societies, temperance socie-

I ties, and our education societies. I Like the objectors of the present day, they said these societies are all oiit-

' side of the church, and are all wrong. They said God started his church as a society for the conversion of the

j world, and now men wisli to improve on Go<l's plan by getting up mission, Bible and tract and tonii>erauc«i so-cieties, as if God needed any outside help, or as if mon thought God's church was inadoquato to the work ho assigned it.

I remember well thot Alexander Campboll joined in with tho Hardshell objector and even ridiculed Baptist associations asmenmodo institutions outflido of tho Christian chun-hes, and criticised our Baptist Mission, Bible, Stmdny-school and tract societios a<l iiausmiit, just as somo aro now criticising our Baptist young peo-ple's societies, women's mission so-ciotios, laymen's societioB, oct. But what was tho influonco of those Hard-shell and Campliellite objections and criticismsT and what did those socio-tioB dof

A HARDSIIKLL ILLUSTHATION aptly como» in hero to emplmBizo tho futility of these objectiouR and to illustrate the continued s u c c o r s of those societios.

On « certain occasion n Hardshell preacher, wishing to point a moral, said: " My brethren, a few nights ago I hoard my little dog a barkin' and n barkin' at a great rate behind my barn; and he kept a barkin' and a barkin' Ull I thought I'd go out and

BOO what wuB tho matter, ah I And what do you think ho was a barkin' att Why, ho was a barkin' at tho moon, ah I And wlmt was tho moon adiJin', ah? Tho moon just kept a siiinin'on, a shinin' ou ah I Yot my llttio dog kept a barkin' and a borkin', ah I But tho moon just kept a shinin' on, a shinin' on, ahl"

Jus t BO with those sociotios. While tho HardBholls and Compbollitos kejit barking at tiieiii, they just kept shining ou, shining on, growing in favor with God and man, till they have now become mighty factors for Ootl and truth, both at home and abroad from America to the ends of the earth!

What a bright and shining light haM our Baptist Sunday-school and Publication So<'iety, at I'hiiadelphia, become: Instead of stopping those societios from shining on, they havo been duplicated at the South, whore they are shining ou with incroasing ^plendor. Our Sunday-school Publi-cation Society, at Nashville, is now-shining with increasing brightness, since our now secretary took charge of it; and it will go shining on, shin-ing on through tho coining years, instructing and elevating our youth, till it will equal the mother society in strength and usofulness.

Tho Baptists at the South have the nuinl>er8, the means, and the culture to make this society a bright and shining light, and one of the strongest factors for building up the denomina-tion in the faith and the hoiw of the gospel, and for developing the Chris-tian gifts and graces of our young people. That our new secretary will wisely draw upon our abundant pecuniary and intellectuBl resources to make this swiety go shining on, through the coming, years, who can doubt? But if any one is skeptical about it, let him drop a note of in-quiry to Dr. I'rost, at Nashville, wh<>. I am sure w ill confirm our assertion and help to strengthen the faith of the u-rak brother on this point.

I What bei>.ame of the barking little dog, the Hardshell brother did not tell us. But what became of the

, barking HarvJshells we know full well. They nearly all barked them-selves to death; till there aro but few left to bark at our Bhining sociotios.

And what Ixtcamo of tho barking CampbellitesT

Seeing tho fate of tho Hardsholls, tho most of them wisely stopped their barking and Mr. Campbell started Bethany College. They thou or-ganized mission sociotioR under a now name, and called their theological school a Biblo School, and something olflo thoy called Corporation Meeting, etc. So thoy have tho same kind of R o c i o t i o s wo hove, only under new names.

E<litor Lipscomb, of Noshvillo, and his friends, honxjver, are oxcoptions to this Campbollito chnngo of base. Thoykopt up their Hardshell bark-ing; not so much at our sociotios, as at the Campbollito sociotios. You must know thoy aro Primitive Campbollitos, who have not profiled by the fatal barking of the Ilardsholl Baptist.

Moral. The moral of the above is so obvious, we leave it to Editor Lipscomb and the croaking critics in our own and other folds to make the application, and profit by the fato of those who have barked themaolvea to death and had but few mournera at their funeral.

I think il hoH not boon my privilege

to moot. Ho is a deserving pastor in

every particular. Our mooting at

this placo was indeed a very inlorost-

ing one. Congregatioim increasod to

tho luNt. It WON indeod a pleaHuro to

pronch to this appreciative people the

|)oculiar doctrinos of Chriat and his

church for ton days nnd nightn. Jimt

forty yonrn ago, in February, Dr. J,

II. Grnvofl hold a mooting at thin

plnco, ond I wnnt to sny to this olil

votoran that ho still has a warm placo

in (ho hearts of this people. This

nioeting was often spoken of by tho

old brethren.

Thtire in a pouuliar seot started up

in this county known as tho " Free

Methodists." Tho peoulinr feature

of this new sect is their claim of

sanotifloation, or sinless purity,

am told that some Baptists (f) have

"" vention, we shall bo under ronowed obligation'!. Send yourcontributiouR to Trvnmm-r H'. M, W'ootleork, Nush-villn, Ijeing careful to stato what thoy are for, and lie will forward thom to lis, and ^ou shall have due crodit.

Dr. Tichonor nrrivo<l in Hnvnnn on Wwlnofldny morning, tho 8()lh of Docflnil)or, and Dinz at oni-o cable-frnmmod UH; "Tichonor arrived; >UHinoNs fixed," Wu know what that meant, nnd could minglo our rojoic-ingN nnd thnnkHgivings with those of our noble minnionnry, wlio wns suni-inonod to npponr in court thnt ilav for failure tomnkothopnvmontwhicn was <luo on Doconibor 8tu.

I know thnt Dinz and his oo-labor-orH wore vory hnnpy, nnd I doubt not thnt our honored secretary, Dr. Tich-onor, was as happy as any of them at thin auspiuiouH close of his faithful work.

And now you nuist allow mo to avail myself of thin opportunity to thank tho BAPTIBT ANU JTBRLKCTON for the cheerful and valuable help it has given Home Missions during flie past year, and indeed always, and to ex-press the earnest hope that the new year may prove the most prosperous of all Its past career,

So many oranges wore sent mo that

—Here's my subscription to tho

BAPTIST AND RCPLECTON. I should

not bo at all satisfied without

it. My interest in Tonnossoo Bnp-

tista has in no wise abated since

I came to Mississippi to live. I read

your paper with keen relish, and

heartily congratulate you on tho fact

that you keep it up to so fine a stand-

ard. I have been looking for you to

ha"e the " g r i p " again, since Frost

has struck Nashville, but you say

nothing about it. I wish I had a

(housaqd dollars to give Savage for

the Southwestern University. How

worrying not to hare, sometimes, as

much money as one wants 1 Wo are

moving on hopefully here. P. T.

This old mother church needs no commendation at my hands. She is too well known for that. On the last Sabbath of December my services ended. The brethren raised a suffi-cient amount of money to pay all due mo, and the fbllowing W^nesday Deacon Cephas Harwo^ brought to pur homo a fine free-will donation from the church and friends. And at the same time he brought soveral gallons of canned fruit for the Bap-tist Orphans' Home. Thanks are due Bro. U. E. Jarmon of the Lasc^ssas church for tho jam containinir the fruit.

I shaU ever think of Mill Creek as one of my most pleasant pastorates. By many acts of kindness the mem-bers have greatly endeared them-selves to me. The church is spirit-ual, united and zealous. They are looking for the right man for pastor, and happy will he be when once lo-cated among them. They have two young men attending college who ex-pect to preach. All denominational enterprisen.are aided regularlj. The Sunday-school last year raised t98.60 and had an average o f 82 In attend-ance. May the Lord continue to guide and nieaa them.

justifying power of his resurrection

I nder the lirst heiid I comiiured Ihe

resiiirection to ii H.-UI: under this hu\e thi

I I I . Let lis now notice tho life-

giv ing |)owor of tho resurrection of

Christ. This will bo HiM»n if we per

I ceive that our Lord has life in himself.

I showwl you this just now, in the

fact that ho raiwfd himself from tho

dead. Ho took up tho life which ho

laid down. He only hath immortality,

esHontial and iindecoiv.Hl. Kemembor

how ho said, " I am the resump tion

and the life." Do not siiy, • I l,i,li,.ve

of his resurrection, so are wo raised

into a life over which death hath no

more dominion. Wo shall not die

again, but tho water which Jesus

I gives us shall bo in us a well of water

springing up unto everlasting life.

IV. The last fjoint is tho consol

j i ng power of the rosiirrw-tion. This

consoling power should bo folt as to

all saints. Wo are often summoned

to tho house of mourning in this

church; for wo soldoin pusH a week

without one or two deaths of belovwl

ones. Hero is our comfort Jesus

says: ' Thy tlead men shall live, to

get her with my dead body shall they

orise."

should fool resurrection power. W e

have inony technical Christians, who

know tho phrase of godliness, but

know not tho powor of go<llinoB8.

Wo hovo ritualistic Christians, who

slicklo foi tho outward, but know not

tho power. Wo ure jwstorod with

conventional, regulation Christians.

Oh, yes, no doubt wo are Christians;

have a name to live, ond ore dead.

deny tho power of it. I pray you, my

man, after ho had offered one sacrifice

noss is a finished ono, for Jesus quits

the place of humiliation, and rises to

his reward. H e cried upon the cross,

" I t is finished I " and his woid was

tnio. The Father endorsed his claim

by raising him from tho dead. Pu t

on, thereforo, O ye faithful, this

matchless robe of perfect righteous-

I t is for you that this best rolie is pro-

vided. Wear it, and Iw glad.

His resurrection did not only prove our pardon and our Justiflcotion, but it proved our full acceptance. "He hath made us accepted in tho belov-ed." Christ is never Boparotod from his iieople, and thorefore whoeyer he is, thoy are in him. He is the head; and as is tho head, such are the mem-bors. When God accepted Christ my Head, he accepted me; when he glori-fied my Heod, he made me a partaker of that glory through my Represent-ative. The Infinite delight of the Father In his Only-begotten, Is an inOnlte delight in all the membeni of hla mysUo body. I pray that you

This life, whenever it is impartial,

is new life. In reading the four evan

gelists, have you nev,.r noticiil the

difference l>etween Jesus after the

resurrei tion and lioforef fJe f«.|s no

more suffering, weakness, weariness,

ri'proach, or |K)verty; he is no mor».

cttvilleil at or opjjosiHl by men. He

is in the world, but he scari-ely stn-iiis

to touch it, and it does not at all toiii h

him. Ho was of another world, ond

only a tomiiorary sojourner on this

globe, to which he evidently did not

iMjIong. When wo Iwlieve in Jesus,

we HH-eivo a new life, and rise to a

higher state. The spiritual life owes

nothing to the natural life; it is from

another source, and tends in nnother

direction. The old life beam tho im

age of the first and earthy Adam; Ihe

second life Ijoars (he image of the

second and heavenly Adam.

The old life remains, but Iwcoinos

to us a kind of death; the new life

which God gives is the true life, which

is a part of (ho new croation, and

inks us (o the heavouly and divine.

To this, I say, tho old life is greatly

opposoil; but that evil life ge(8 not

the upper hond. Wonderful is (ho

change wrought by (he newb i r i h !

Faculties that were in you before are

purged and elevated; bu t ot (he samo

time, new spiritual faculties are con-

ferred, and a new heort and a right

spirit are pu t within us. Wonder at

ti l ls—that tho risen Christ is able to

give us an entirely new life. May you

know, in this respect, (he |>owerof

his resurrection!

Wherever Jesus gives life, it is eve-lasting life. "Christ being risen from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over htm;" and as we have been raised In the likeness k

He still has many warm friends hero, besides a brother, An-son Nelson. He bad done a fine work in Asbeville In bis five years' pastorate he received into the church 6.'J7 new members. His people or-ganized and built a new church at Biltmore, a village two] milOs from the city. They erected a 15,000 bouse at a mission station in the wratom part of the city, and a small one in the eastern part of the mountain city. They have an assistant pastor to look after these missions at a sal-ary of 160 per month, and they are now building a large n^w ohuroh on an eligible corner, which will cost in the neighborhood of 160,000. Be-sides, they pay the entire salary of one missionary to China. He leaves an active membership of 040. His resignation was rendered necessary by a ohronio case of oapillaiy bron-obitls, roaulUng from the grip which he had two yean ago. He preached his farewell sermon on Sunday, Joa*

The First Church had a rather remarkable meeting last Sunday. In the afternoon they had their com-munion service. All the members wore urged to be present. Nearly sovon hundred, they say, were there, and they had a glorious meeting of groat spiritual power. No service at night. The membership has run. up to almost 800 now, and the effects of their revival are still being felt. They will be under the necessity of enlarg-ing their bouse or colonizing some of their members. Perhaps the latter is the desirable and probable thing.

amount the State Board haa expended

at this point. The church is generous

and hopeful, and under the wtae

leadership of Bro. Moore, with thrir

I increased facilities, will soon become

I one of the strongest churchea in this

section. Baptist affairs are moving on

satisfactorily in Johnson City. Our

church has had a substantial growth

during the past year. TheSundaj-

school has r ^ e solid adTanoemant,

having about 120 more pupils than at

the same period last ytmr. Wa will

open a Mission Sunday-achool next

Sunday that promises good reaulta. .

The pastor and his wife had many

tokens of thankful kindness.during

the holidays, which gires assurance

that their lot has been cast among a

most generous people.

There have bmn a number of good

meetings within the bounds of the

Holston Association recently.

Again the hand of afBiction has

fallen upon us. My eldest b i ^ e r

died suddenly tlie 2Ath of D u m b e r ,

The word Banctification simply moans to make holy; and it is u.*od in three senses in the Scriptures: (1) In a ceremonial sense; (2) in a legal sense; (8) in a moral or spiri tual sense.

1. In the cerrmonia/sense, sanctifl-cation moans to set apart, fonsecrate, or dedicate to a holy purpose; and the word, in this sense, is used of jwrsons, thinsrs, platMss, days and of God him-w l f For instance, " OotI blessed the seventh day and sanctified it." Oon. ii. .'J; " Moses sanctified Aaron and bis KarmenU;" L e w i i i . 30; and so the fimt born of Israel, the tabernacle, the priests and the Levites, the sheeps' gat«, Job's sons and daughters, the holy Ood himself, the unbelieving wife by the believing husband, the children by godly parents, and the like. In this ceremonial sense, sancti-flcation is merely oli jective, or external, and not subjective, internal, or in-herent No moral or spir i tual q uality whatever is imparted to a house, a place, a person, or a th ing when Bimply set apart, consecrated, or do voted to Hicred uses. The purpose may have the qual i ty of holiness, but the object sanctified may be absolutely unholy in it«elf, or absolutely incapn ble of holiness. This is simply cere monial sanctiflcation.

2. In the Icffa/ sense, sanctiflcation has a substitutional or vicarious ap pUcation to Christians. For Christ 's sake the believer is regarded as sancti fled when he is just i f ied. In Christ Jesus- by reason of his union wi th Christ—he is legally accounted holy, as he is adjudged innocent. Hence Paul declares, Heb. x. 14, that Christ . " by one of fer ing hath perfected for over them that are sanctified." " Ye are complete (perfect) in him," that is, in Chr ist , says the apostle j and he de clorcs again in this legal and soving Mnse, that Chr ist is made unto us "w isdom, rightoousnesB, sanctiflca-t ion, and redemption." Christ is the Christ ian's all and in a l l j " ond. f rom the standpoint of complete redemp t ion,everything that belongs toChr is t , by character or inheritance, belongs to us. For his sake, and in him, »vo ore set apart, consecroted, devotetl, unto Ood as ho ly , perfect, sonctif led, once for aU and forever. Just l f lcat ion and sanctiflcation, in this legal or objective sense of character, are Inseparable; and the two words may be cousiderod somewhat as convertible or Inter-changeable terms. Hence In this sense the Christ ian Is often spoken of Ifa the New Testament a« "per fect " and "ho-I j j " and in this sense saoetlfloation is absolute and unqual i f ied. I n this sense we are as perfect and h o l j as Ohrist is perfect and holy. W e stand in the ahoea of our aubaiitutoi and

while his l i fe is imparted to us, and his righteouaness imputed to us, his holiness is applied to us He is as much our sancrtiflcation, in this sense, as he is our wisdom, righteousness and redemption.

3. In the moral, or spiritual sense, sanctiflcation is not obsolute and vicarious, but it is approximate and relative. L ike regeneratiou, f rom which it procflodfl and al which it begins, it is purely subjective; and it ifl progressive as a matter of gracious culture and development. When we lielieve in Christ - w h e n we are born again- when the righteousness of Christ is imputed and his l i fe is impart<Mi to us then we begin to " grow in grace and in a knowledge of the t ruth." We commence as " babes" feeding on milk," and we grow to the " measure of the statue of the fullness of Christ " to manhood in Christ. I t is clear that every grace revealed in the Now Testament is susceptible of increase, or growth, Buch as fa i th, hope, love, wisdom^ righteousness, zeal, patience, joy, peace and the like; and there is no end to their culture and development in the study of God's word, under the gracious efficiency of his Holy Spi r i t , and in the exercise of all our moral functions. We can steadily and con- ! t inual ly grow wiser, purer, stronger,' happier, more useful and effective in the service of the Master, sanctified by the t ru th and Spi r i t of God.

The theory of a " second blessing," of instantaneous and sinless perfec-tion, in this sense of sanctiflcation, is not only absurd in the l ight of growth, but without the slightest foundotion in the Script urea, " B e ye perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is j ierfect," l ike other Scrip-tures, is a command, or an in junct ion of Christ to his disciples; b u t , while Jesus taught thom to aspire to the loftiest standard, he knew they could never bo as wise and holy as God; and all that a Christ ian can do is to j ump at the Btors, If be sometimea falls in the mud. We can do the best we can under the l igh t and guidance of God's Spi r i t and T r u t h - p r a y i n g God, every day, to forgive our sins and supplement our fai lures; and, although we ore st i l l " unprofl table servonta" when we have done our " d u t y , " yet this is perfection, and all the perfection thot any Christ ian can reach for the t ime being. He may be far ahead of (his perfection to-morrow—Inf ini tely ahead of i t in ton years -Bs ho grows on in grace and knowledge; but according to nor-ma! growth, his perfection even is progrossire, as, in each and eveiy day, he continues, under God, to do the best he can in devotion and eonsecra-tion to his •enriee.

No OhrisUan, i n this l i fe , wiU ever

see the day when ho is devoid of im-perfection both moral and intel lectual, to Bay nothing of his physical nature. The old " carnal mind is st i l l enmity against God, not subject to his law; neither indeed can be." Regenera-tion never destroyed it—and only grafted Christ into i t , a new nature into an old stock; and all that sane tif ication can do is to conquer, subdue and overcome it . Paul delighted in the law of Ood "a f t e r the inward man," and nobody but a Christian can have such del ight ; but even Paul saw nothing "good " in his " flesh. " The warfare between his flesh and the Holy Spir i t often waged hot and fierce, and sometimes the flesh got the best of the fight; and that grand old apostle was led to exclaim when he wrote to the Romans: " O h ! wretched man that I am; who shall deliver me f rom this body of deathT" The apostle got ahead of this, no doubt, in after years, when he said that, not being " perfect," he fo igot the things behind h im, reached for th unto the things before him, and pressed for his prize; and, according to the law of growth and progress, he reached the point, at last, when

I he could exult ingly shout: " I have [ fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the fai th."

1 John i i i . 9, is often quoted by the perfectionists: " Whosoever is born of Ood doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him, and he cannot sin iMJcause he is born of Ood." The same ajwstle, wr i t ing in the same book, chapter i. 8 10, says: " I f we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the t ru th is not in us • * • If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a l iar, and his word is not in us." Now it is clear that, in the two passagea, to sin is not used in the same sense, else John con-tradicts himself. He says we do sin, and that we cannot sin. In the sense of aliens f rom God, and sinners under condemnation of Clod's law, we do not and cannot sin; but as God's chi ldren, and under a covenant of grace, we do sin; and John says of such, under this paternal relation, " if we confess our Bins, ho is fa i th fu l to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us f rom all un-righteousness." We shall never see the day when we can dispense wi th the Lord' s Prayer: " Forgive us our sins, OS we forgive those who sin against us;" and Jesus and John exactly agree. Thank God, however, we can grow on to higher heights and to deeper depths In knowledge, strength, wisdom, pur i ty and happiness; and when each day we have done the best we could, under God'a sanot i fy ing t ru th and sp i r i t , this is perfection, approximate and relative, for that day; and, thank Ood, the next day, and the ntixt, and the next, may be an improvement

over the past. Th is is God's order of things. He wants us to study, and work, and grow; and he does not ex-pect us to reach absolute perfection unti l we reach heaven If even then. It would stop growth, if we did.

Centennial Committee Meeting.

The Centennial Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention met in Washington, D. C., Jan. 12th and 18th. Dr. Mabie of the Miss iona i j Union was present. The invitat ion of the Union to send a fraternal mes-senger to the anniversary meeting in Phi ladelphia was accepted, and the chairman was appointed. A similar invitat ion was extended to the Union to send messengers to Atlanta. D r . Mabie gave a deeply interesting ac-count of the condition of the missions abroad h e ^ lately visited.

I t was agreed to ask the Eutaw Place Church, Balt imore, to release Dr . El l is for centennial work, an av-erage of one absence a monti i , includ-ing a Sunday.

State committees were urged to work to increase the number of con-tr ibut ions to missions, and editors were requested to write editorials on the subject.

The missionary maps furnished by the Baptist Book Concern were com-mended and a Home Mission map was approved.

The plans of the Woman's Auxi l i -ary for using chapel cards and cerUfl-cates were approved and their work heart i ly endorsed.
