And How 1« Thla? i

The same patnphlet, as mentioned horetofbre. as oironlated by tbe Kpisco-pal clergy, and their fVcshly confirmed loalou.inthe effort to proselyte tboso of OS whom thoy regard ignorant and de-luded-etylfed "BuggeatioDS to Baptist Christians "—has other points worthy of notice; and, the truth is, on the surface, this document is so insinuating OS almost to take the very elect una-ware and deceive them. Why. it actu-ally " atobpa to conquer." and addresses despiaed BaptisU by the tender names of "ChriaUans" and "brothers," and so lovingly deigns to call our church a "society." lu influence is strangely subtle, and tends to cast about us a spell which nothing save the grace of Qod can break.

On the ninth page of this pamphlet I was startled to find our Episcopal friend—" the church "—making the solemn admission sot forth in the fol-lowing interrogatory and answer:

Question-" Ii there any undeniable insunee of Immersion in the NewTesu-mont?"

Answer—"Only that recorded in .Matt viii. 32."

Not being a bishop, nor familiar with the Soriptnre reference, I hurried to itn examination, and then, reading the thirty-second verse, together with its context, discovered what Kpiscopalians Kravely allege to be the only undeniable iasunce df immersion in tbe New TesU ment.

Listen r Matt. fill. 28 : " And when he waa eome tothe other side, into the country of tbe Oergesenes, there met him two potAeased with devils, coming out of the tombs, exoeedingly fierce, so that miiri might pass that way.

2». " Ahd beb6ld they cried out, say-ing, What bivfc we to do with thee Jmu«. tboa Son O OOD ? art thou come hithat' td torment us before the time?

30. " And there wa« a good way off from tbem a berd of swine, feeding.

31. So th« devils bMonght him, say-injr, If thott oiat us ont, suffer ns to go away intb the herd of swine.

32.' ** And he said unto them, Oo. Aud irhtin tbeyweite come out, they went'into tbe berdof iwine: and be-hold, tbe'whole herd of swine ran vio-lently down a irteep place into the sea, and periahed lii the Waters."

Prom 'thii viiry uadeniablo insUnee of iidmlnioti I looked afaiii to tbe PtWpbl^ f in ing , or'oourse, that •vyn tUif'Mt^nda woiild, is usual, be tWbt^tttd kilinQiianiable insUncD of ap^kR^, Ipdl p^ rn W (not by the

IMU' but ,,b» that papintisal: at«BN>t«]Md arfnmant. ,da-duMd iftMi Itbali piotarol'iii iMoaaio

And now, Baptist Christians, to this Episcopal text And what lesaon does It teaoh us ?

Now "Tho Church" claims infalll- I ^ •o®'" 9/ bility and can do no wrong, oottmit no ' tbcmselve* of not error, and is, therefore, above and be a^^ yond our criticism. But. I feel per " a Oarkinlnir. fectly confident, if one of'our Baptin Christians, in his eagerness and zeal to prove immersion the only valid mode ^ baptism, had cited Matt. viii. 32. as ftrnishing an undeniable instance of immersion in the Scriptures. I would have thought desecration, sacrilege, blasphemy. The terms seem too mild and ume. I would have thought that his heart compassed that deep in whioh those devils and swine were trubmerged; yea. would have thought him more nwly akin to devils and swine than to Christ

On reflection, however. I concludo that possibly, a mystery is solved in this lesson. Wo have never understood when and how such a miserably wicked creature as Henry YIIl. obtained his fitness to become the head (first headV ' of the Epincopal church. The lesson before us taught by that church, ex-plains the whole mattiir. Henry must have reasonably and naturally con-ceived that to qualify him for 8uob headship, and likewise to quality him for baptism, he must first become either a devil or a hog. and therefore he be-came both.

Dean Stanley was among tbe ablest of all the Episcoptliana. and ceruinly in point of integrity equal tothe best of them. I wonder if Matt viii. 32 -was in his mind when he said: " 'There ean )e no question that tBe original fb m of baptism, tbe very meaning of tbe wdrd<

'and both' barO a^rlted out more tbaii they have dresaed up. Whole bl^ka of fine bouses have no trace of ' i aide-walk. Millionaires live in palaees without,sWe-falks u^t|l.foroc.^ by niuniolpal edict to Iky thein. 8t. John's Cathedral, therlobeetKptsoopal ohuroh in the oity; is equally dilatory in i u ap preoiation of the fitneea of thiuga, and is just now obeying the order of tho oHy fathers. Five months ago I think there was not half a mile of continuous pavement in a direct line in the oity, and paved 'oroasings were unknown Thanks to the November mud, wo now have miles and miles them. Perhspn the greatest surprise is the rapidity with which work is done.

The soil is very sandy It takes a pick to out through one or two feet of a road-bed. then it shovels as easily »s an ash heap. TIecce water, fewer, gas, and eleotrio-wire pipes arc laid in an incredibly shor. time. Excavations arc made and houses built in less time than in some Eastern cities tho toiigh clay oould be removed from the rocks that would have to be blasted out. Hence the face of the oity is changing so rapidly that old citizens scarcely know localities familiar to them a year ago- Men work without lassitude, horses are as full of energy as men, and every movement is expressive of pluck. Another surprise is the weather. The only thing you can count on is sun-shine, atarligbt, moonlight. Every sign of weather known in the East fails here. A atorm cloud with roarjpg wind more likely, much more likely to be followed in ten minutes by bright sunlight than by rain. I carried an umbrella to night for the first time in five montba, »nu the rain did not drip from the tipe. ,May is our rainy month.

Perhapethe pleasantest surprise of all is tho proeperity of ohuroh enter-prises here. No doubt a '.arge majority of Qur oitiiluia do pot attend church, but we have many oburohes, some very fifle onOs, all ofthemwell attended at all sOrvicesL t^ntil a yeiir ago the First Bapi^ lied the largeBt'i nd finest build-ing.

Calvinism limits the number of the

saved to the clcct, while God's purpose

in election was to multiply and iooreaso

the number. To prove thiit 1 «ay that election, in

the Bible, means just what we moan by the term in common ose Kmong us to day. It is a plain, unfigurative term, and must bo understood according to its literal defioition. l<llcction, there-fore, is to choose for oflSce or an ap-pointment to some high trust or pnblic duty, and is always intended to pro mote tho public welfare.

God, therefore, in devising the plan of salvation for Adam and his lost race, was pleased to employ human agencies lor tho accomplishment of his gracious puriKMC, and henco the electioo of some for the good of tho whole. To demon strato this idea I will select sovcr l in stances in which God's purpose is clearly manifested. Sunding at the very head, and infinitely above all of God's elect, is Jesus Christ, the son of David. Now what was God's purpose in selecting Jesus ? Ceruinly not for his personal salvation, but wholly atid entirely lor tho eslvation of the world, " For God sent not his Son into tho world to condemn tho world, but that the world through him might be saved."

Take Abraham, another reprosonu-tive mtn, according to God's purpose. Why did God choose Abraham ? Was it simply that ho might be saved Truly Abraham was saved on aocount of his faith, but God's purpose in the calling of Abraham was that through bis seed all the families of the earth should be uke the case

of Mosea. Moses wa« one of God's pjokedmeu.predeatjnatod, if you please, from before tho ifoundation of tho world, and oleotetl to a noble office—ordaine4 to record the history of the creation and to deliver to mukiad that inin^iuble moral, law conuined in the Ten CUE-mantlmenta, and, beaides„he was • great prophets, ,,). .. (,,,.„, .,1; .„

Oalviai«m Again.

As there has been some cross firing through your columns on this subjeot, permit me to offer a few thought* on it. There has exisud two nytems of re-ligious f«th from the earliest times. They are called in modern tJmes Ar-minianism and Calvinism, and are as wide apart as the poles, but serve a good purpose, for. by common uw^e, they point out at once to one's mind just what sort of faith a man has. By common consent those who teaoh that salvation is wholly of grace are oall^ Calvinists, or these who teach that it is in part of works are called Armiuians. It is not meant that Calvin was the founder of said faith, but that in his day ho formulated the dootrinos of grace into a system, which has since borne his name. Tho same duster of doctrine was called "the Pauline faith " in earlier times. With Calvin's pcdoism the great body of Calvinists have nothing to do. But with that eliminated, the vut majority of serious, intelligent Chrirtiana have no objection to being called by that term. It is easily understood, and why should they oareV For they know that the wise and good of all ages and climes havo believed and uught the same faith essentially. This is so manifest th»t it is hardly necessary to offer proof. But suffice it to say that I challenge any one to mention a con-fession of faith of regular BaptisU. either ancient or modern, that is not intensely Calvinistio. Sonie say that if I believed that doctrine I would have no encouragement to missionary effort. But the very rovcrse is true. |t was this clus of Christiana that originated for-eign mission work in modern times. And they are doing tho balk of that work to-day. They are the onea who have the enoouragemont The Lord has promised that bia word, ahall not return unto him void,,," but,it ahall ao eomplisb that which I please, and it shall prosper in tho thing wboreunto I sent it." I can not understand why there ia such a flutter on this ,«ubjeot, coming, as it doos, from a aouroe we did not expoct.

Bid you noUeo in die reading of this ttarf»Uv»bftbfllSyropii.«aieUn woman the tWOfiioto mentfionod in the twenty-first and tWMityaeoondvenMt? "Then Jesus went tbence, and departed into the coasti of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, ft Woman of Canaan oame out of the same'eoaats." See, Jesus (goea to-ward the ooast of Sidon on the land side,' and tbe woman of Canaan oomes from tho sea-shore to meet him ; and so they eome to the same town.

Our Lord was drawn toward this woman, but she, also, was driven toward him. What made her seek him? HtrsDge to say, a devil had a hand in it but not 80 as to give the devil any of the praise. Tho truth was. thatagra oious Ood used the devil himself to drive this woman to Jesus; for her daughter was " grievously vexed with • devil," and aha eould not bear to suy at home and s«« her child in such misery. O how often does a great sorrow drive men and wonien to Christ, even as s fierce wind compels tbe mariner to has-toti lo the harbor I

Now, yon would snppose that, as tho two were seeking each other, tho happy meeting and tbe grCcious blessing would be very easily brought about ; but we have an old proverb, that " tbe course of true love never does run smooth ;" and, for certain, the course of true faith is seldom without trials. 1 never saw the Savior before in such a mood is when he spake to this woman of great faith. Did you ever read of his speak ing snob rough words? Did suoh a hard sentence at any other time over fall from his lips as, " It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs f" Ah r he knew her well, and he knew that she oonld sUnd the trial, and would be greatly benefited by it. and that be would be glorified by her faith thronghoutall future ages there fori) with good reason hrf put her throngb tho athletio exercises which train a vigorous faith. Doubtle«. for our sakeS, he drew ber through a tost to wbioh he would never have exposed her had aha been a weakling unable to eus-uin'it. She WM trained and developed by his robufii. While hia wisdom tried her. hia grace mi<tained her.

Now. aee bow he b ^ n . The Havior •ma come to tho town, wherever it was . but ho waainot there In pnblio; on the oontrary, be sought acelusion. Mark tells oa in the ieventh chapter, at the twenty^fonrtb TOrse, " From thence he ftroao and weiit into the borders of Tyro and tiidoD, and Tenterod into a bouse, arid wodid have no man kno# it; but ho could not be hidi Fdr a bertain woman, whOM young daugbtor had an unelban •pirit), heard of 'htm and oame and fell ut hivfoet.!- I tv. .

Why to' ho hMing from her ? He dooo not Baially avoid the quest of the •edtini oonltf* "Whero toi heT " she Hki oMito dtobii les.' They (dvo ber no iaforimtioii their Maaier'a

tlMWlbi s, oho b ^ itur^f aloiid, ««n»o boroy tt^tt O Lord; tbou aon of <David." Ao bo walks nlonir ahe Orloa out wiOi mighty orios and^plead--mg« Hir tb» atreet ringa with b«r voiea, >aud Ho who " would have no ma» know it^ to pbclaimed in tbe rOarkat place. Tho woman's noise waa very dtotraoting, to everybody, and ao tbe dia«ipl«a oamei to Jesus and they said," Send her away, send her- away; do something for her, or tell ber to be gone, for she crieth afler us; we have no peace for her clamor; we oan not hear thee speak bo-cause of ber piteous cries."

Meanwhile she, perceiving them speaking to Jesus, comes nearer, breaks into tho inner eirclo, falls down before him, worships him, and otters this plaintive prayer—" Lord, help me." There is more power In worship than in noise; she has uken a step in ad vanee. Our Lord has not yet answered her a single word. He has heard what she said, no doubt; bnt he has not an-swered a word to her as yet. All that he has done is to say to his disciples, " r am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." That has not provetited her nearer approach or stopped her prayer: for now she pleads. "Lord, help me." At length the blessed One does speak to her. Greatly to our surprise, it is a chill rebnff. What a cold word it is! How cutting! I dare not ssy, how cruel, yet it seemed so. " It is not meet to take the chil-dren's bread and to cast it to dogs."

Now, what will the woman do ? She is near the Savior; she has an audience with him. such as it is; she is on her knees before him snd he appears to re-pulse her? How will she act now? Here is tbe point about which I am go-ing to siMsak. .She will not be repulsed, she perseveres, she advances nearer] she actually turn* tho rebuff into a plea. She has come for a blossini;, and a blessing she believes that she shall have and she means to plead for it ti II she wins it. .So she deals with the Savior aftrr a vpry her- ic manner and in the wisest possible style; from which I want every seeker to learn a lesson at this time, that he, like her. may win with Christ, and hear tho Master say to him this morning. " Great is thy faith , bo it unto thee even as thou wilt."

I. My first advice to every heart here Bcoking tho Savior is this: Agree with tho I-ord. In the Revised Version, we read that she said, " Yea, Lord," or, " Yes. Lord." Wbatover Jesus said, she did not contradict him in tho least. T like the old translation, "Troth! Lord," for it ia very expressive. She did not say, " I t is bard, or ubkind," but " I t to true." It to true that it Is not meet to Uke the Children's bread and to cast it to dogs. It to tme that, coinpared with Israel, I am a dog; for mo to gain this blessing would b« like a dog feeding on the" children'^ broad. Truth. Lord; truth. Lord." Now dear frtond. If thou art dealing irlth tho Lord for fife and death, never contra-dict htoword. Thou wilt neVefi 'come unto perfect peaoeifthou art in acon-t^ict ing humor; for th»tto a proud

n . Andnow my seoond point to thto: although yon must not cavil with Christ, you may plead with him.

Truth, Lord," ahe saya; but she adds, " yet." Her«, then, to my first leasoo: set one truth over against another. Do not contradict a frowning truth, but bring up a smiling one to meet it. I f a truth looks btock upon me. I ahall not bo wiae to bo always dwelling upon it: but it will be my wisdom to examine the whole range of truth, and aee if there be not some other doctrine whieb will give me hope. David practiced this when he said of himself, " So fool-tob waa I . and ignorant: I was aa abeaat before thee." And then he most con-fidently added, 't Novertheless, I am continually with thee: thou hast bolden me by my right hand." He does not eontradict himself and yet tbe seoond utterance removes all the bitterness which tho first sentence left upon tbe palate.

For iasunoe. I meet with men who say, "O sir. sin to an awful thing; it oondemna

me. I feel that I oan never answer tbe Lord for my iniquities, nor SUnd in bto holy presenee." Thto is assuredly true; bnt remember another truth: "Tbe Lord hath laid on Him tho iniquity of us kl l ;" " He was nrnde sin for us who knew no ain;" " There to, therefore, now no oondemnation to them which are inChriat Jeaus." Set tbe truth of the ain-bearing of our Lord over against tho guilt and o«rm of sin due to yourself apart from your

t We may bo permitted to add a word

to the above, and say that the inception

and the successful completion of the

arrangements for this Hchool are due

more to the pastor of the Edgefield

Baptist church than to any other one

man. For months he has labored «ar-

neatly and indefatigably to aecomplish

the desired end. Others have helped

much, but Brother Gardner has from

first to last been tbo soul and inspiration

of the movement. In his modesty he

has left out all reference to himself, and

we felt that honor should be given

where honor is due.— Ki> 1

It is with pleasure, that I note tlie

excellent character maintained by the

Baptist and Refu io tor . Surely

such newsy and well selected reading

will eventually bring i u reward. The

effort you are making to induce Tennes-

see Baptists to feel proud of their Sute

paper, will no doubt prove snecessful.

The Baptist and RKPLacron is a wel-

come visitor. We are making substan-

tial progress in onr church work. The

fifth Sunday in March we received

•even members, by letter, making twelve

additions since I began my pastorate

less than three months ago. This is

the result of earnest pastoral work as

the most of these have been living in

Olanton Tor some time. I have been

preaching in the country some two or

three milea fVom Clanton at » o'olock

p.m., and the reault ia very gratifying.

There being no Baptist charohea within

our to six miles givea «a this field ior

I JUnton. We have some good substan-

tial BaptisU living within three miles,

who will now eome to Clanton. Tbe

onee a month " preaehing did not give

any putoral work and hence the coun-

try was not eultlvated. The new order

ot every Sunday preaehing ia growing

in popularity, aa there haa been more

additiona in thne aoBtha than in so

The fact of support will not be want-ing if pastors will diligently prosecute their church work and attend faithfully to the needs of the field. My experi ment with a ohuroh which had preach ing " once n month " last year is prov iog a HUccess; and will, no doubt, stimu late others to do likewise.

—Tbe revival meetings at the C«n

tral Baptist church continue with in

tense interest and growing congrega

tiona. There have been a number of

conversions and a few have united with

tho church during the past week. The

meetings were begun without previouo

notice, on Sunday, the '20th inst., under

the preaching of Ucv. M. T. Martin,

and hence there was nothing more than

the ordinary preparation for them. A

Htriking feature of these meetings is the

intensity with which church member»

become enlisted when they come in and

uke hold of the work. Elder Martin

is very simple in bis methods, and bi»

preaching apiKsals powerfully to Chris

tian experience. He holds up some

what peculiarly tho doctrine of a»-

Hurance based upon faith—a faith based

upon a clear apprehension of Christ,

and the finished work of salvation, but

he justifiee bis position upon this point

with a vast number of Scriptures which

he logically discusses. So of all his po

sitions about which there has been

some controversy. Essentially there

seems no difference between him and

BaptisU, and the only difference which

I can see consists iu the peculiar man

nor of bia stating his positions. One

thing is clear, and that la that he ap

peals powerfully to the mind and heart

of his hearen, and another thing ia that

Cbriatians are greatly strengthened and

'sinnera happily converted. In the Ian

guage of Dr. Hawthorne, "Brother

Martin'a aUtemenU of eertain Baptist

dootrinea are < somewhat paealiar and

exeeptional, and while I do not indorse

them, they do not warraat a charge of

heresy." There are a great maay of

us whe do not agree with eaeb other in

every thiag we beldi> fbnnaUr» though

we Bubetaatiaily agree. I ,Make these

from this pUce would bo of interest to

some of your many readers. Tbo Bap-

M. Pardue is a success as an evangelist

and colporteur, and is getting the

brethren worked up as never before.

Oor last fifth Sunday meeting was one

of unusual interest. But the best of

ail, we have succeeded in getting the

brethren to organize at Rogersfville.

Will organize the second Saturday in

.May and go to work at once to build a

house. With a Baptist church in our

country town, an active pastor located

there, which wo hope to have in tbe

near future, our prospecU are brighter

than since the cruel war ruined the

Wo are glad to hear of his sncccss, but if you like him so well. Brother Ligon, you ought to call him indefinitely—or "during good behavior," which, wo think, from what we know of him, will bo the same as an indefinite call.

CoLrMiiiA.—Unusually large congre-gations at both services yesterday. But few vacant seats in the bouse. Our peo-ple are responding nobly and promptly to tho li(|uidation of our church debt. One young man. working on a salary of WO per month, and who Joined the ohuroh during my late meeting, qub-soribed $1(K», to be paid in ten months, and he paid g30 of it this morning.

What does the Cardinal .James *ny to

Cardinal Gibbons a " consistent ortho

This is a world in which there is

much inconsistency, but the most unac

ooantablo of all inoonsistcncies is fur

Protestants to contribute fifky cents a

-On Friday. Saturday, and Sunday,

April II . 12, i;j, Mouth of Ricblnnd

ohuroh celebrated her centennial. The

ohuroh was organ'aied on tbe 11th lay

of April 17!K». and conseiiuently was

just one hundred years old. Rev. Car

tcr Helm Jones of Knoxville preached

a clear ringing sermon on the Lord's-

Hupperat l lon Friday. Ho preached

again on Friday night a sweet, soul-stir-

ing sermon. On Saturday Brother

M urrell, one of the young men of tho

college, preached a good sermon, and

after a talk by the pastor, tho church

rose and sung, "How firm a Foundation

ye Saints of the Lord," and joined in a

general hsnd-shaking. Sunday morn-

the Baptist clans gathered, the people

poured out, and before 11 the house

was filled. At 11, tho pastor read a

short historical sketch of tbe church,

and on motion it was ordered to be

spread on rccord in the church hook

and then came the collection for foreign

missions which had been provided for

the day before, and amounted to 137.60

in cash. As Dr. Montgomery, on ac

count of sickness, could not be prwent

to preach tho sermon On tho distinct-

ive principles of the Baptiets;" tho pas

tor preached the sermon to the best of

bis ability. Tbe meeting as a whole

The yini/ Sabbath-Bohool, was organ-

ized, we think, by Eira. fSco Nohemiah

•iii. 1-8) The first of our modern

Sunday-schools was organized by Robert

Raikes. in Gloueoster, England, in 17—,

and was for tho purpose of teaehing tho

ragged ohildron on tho streets how to

spell and read and to keep them out of

mischief on tho Sabbath. We now have

outgrown any such idea, and hnvo

changed tho school from simply a school

taught on Sunday to ono for the pur-

pose of studying tho Bihio, thus goinff

back to Flira's idea

my

What ought to bo done with a B.tp tist prcaeher that will preach that this | joyfully given doctrine of once in frrace alwayi in l^aee was the most damnable doetrino that ever had been preached, and that It had cauacd more souls to go to hell than any one thing.

Wo think ho is wrong :

1. ID holding tho doctrine he docs.

Baptists do not believe in falling from

grace. Nor do we believe tho Bible

teaches it. I t says that " no one shall

pluok thom (his sheep) out of

Father's hand."

2. In his deductions from tho doo-

trins of final persovoranoo. Tho prao-

tioai effoot of it is not to lull tho soul to

sisep, but to stimulate snd inspire it.

As to what should ho done with him,

we think some Aquila and Priseilla

should eipound to tho Apollos tho way

of God more perfectly. Do not reject

him for a mistake on ono point.

are called on to rooord tho death of this

Kood man and faithful minister of God

It is no surprise to us, who knew of his

failing health. Yet. we sorrow for his

IONS. He hud just passed his fortieth

year, twenty four of which had been

to the Lord's service,

eleven of these devoted to the aolivo

ministry of the word. He had been

pastor of eleven churches, and all of

them share this great loss. His wife

and four children remain, six having

passed over boforo tho father. Brother

Bycrly was a striking example of what

a man with ordinary attainments can

do. His opportunities were limited,

but his coal and eonseoration made

large amends, and ho Was ono of the

most useful and aoeepuble ministers of

his Assoeiation. We share in this loss,

for we had learned to lovo him very

dearly. May our Father lay his mantle

upon some other, while ho tenderly

cares for tho widow and tho orphans.

His enormous tongue licked the hand tbat I abandoned to hia careaaea, while with hia paw he gently tried to draw me to him.

A LRTTBR KBOM M i x t c o , j ) : f . - r - r I

My dear Mra. Hailey: I have just read in your department of tbe BAPTWT AND UKfLldroR the many references to quilta which the ohildreu say tboy have made for mo. This is a mistake ; tho(lttiltH ure not for, me, nor for any other work in Mexico ; they aro to be sent to the Levering Hohool in the In-dian Territory. T h e ' w a y my uame csmo to be oonneotod witb thom waa, that boforo I oamo to Mexico I collected a box of <iuilta lor that school, partly by writing about thom in the llKri.KfiTOR, and since I came here 1 have asked for 'luilta for the same school through the I)a|>or.

I am very grateftil to the children for making the 'luilta for mo, but they will do moro good whore they aro sent —to the Indian aohool. Another mis lake is that I have a school. I hav<» only a few elaasos in Knirliah. If I had a boarding aohool I should probably need quilts, hut they could not bo aont here bocause of the ouatom-houao du-ties. In this week's paper tbe children may read an acknowledgement of the rcoeipt of the quilts, written by Mr.

• Wright, the supcrintendout of the Levering School.

" The field is tbe world." I am as gUd to bear tbat tbo children ate working for tbo Indian Territory, or Cuba, or any other mission field, as 1 should bo to know tboy wore working for Mcxioo. Tbe only thing they can do for me just now is to send me adver-tisement cards. I sbs l lbe very grate-ful for them. Wc, missionaries in Mex-ico, never doubt tbe interest of tbo children of the Young South in ns and our work, aince they worked «o long and faithfully for Mexico. I hope and am auro they will work aa faithfully for Cuba.

Will you pioaae make this explana tion about the quilts to the children to prevent future confuaion.

You must bo very happy in your wprk of dcvoloping a missionary spirit among tbe children. It will be felt in the generations to oome. With auch work as tbia going on among the young people Tenneaseo will not always bo be-hind other States in work for misaiona. All this besides the soula that may be aavcd through your efforts.

Wishing you continued auccesa and witb kindest regards for yourself and Mr. Hailey, I remain yours, sincerely,

HALMK HAI.E. Psrras, Mcxico,

The Route to Port Worth, Texas.

ItalM t»» » • « < •• tUmti-

f i

I have decided to make the trip my-

self, and aAer carefully looking over

the various routes and schedules, have

ooooludod to take tho Iron Mountain

route from Memphis :

1. Beoauso I think it is tho best. It

is the old established route and goes

through the bettor settled portions of

the west.

2. Because tho unusual privilege of

going one route and returning another

will be granted, giving one an oppor-

tunity of seeing the best part of Texas.

3. BoeauBo it is the only route to the

famous H o t Springs of Arkansas, whiob

we ean visit on our return from Texas.

O a r sohedulo will bo as follows:

Leave Knozville, May 6th, at 2.40 a.m.,

and Chattanooga the same morning.

This will place us in Port Worth for

sapper on the evening of the 7th. By

this Bohedalo we will bb only one night

on the road, and go through Texas in

daylight. A n d for those who do not

want to ihear the expense of a sleeper

the Iron Mountain will ran elegant re-

clining^ ohair ears free of charge from

Memphis to Fort Worth .

I will be glad to have all my Baptist

and othor^ Meiids Join mo and have a

Jolly goOd'time.

wbioh to>day makofi tbe quiokeat time

to Fort Worth . Bblldos, should tbe

delegations going via the Oottort Belt

route have to go via tbe Kansas City

lino of road to Jonosboro, they will have

a longer transfer across this city than

tbo Iron Mountain passengers would.

T h o truth is, that much more is being

mado, or attoniptod to be made, over

tho matter of transfer at Memphis than

should bo.

T h e delegations coming via the Lou-

isville and Nashville road will arrive at

Memphis at 2.40 o'clock p.m., and will

not leave until r>.:«t p.m., giving one

hour and fifty minutes to remain in this

city. Those coming via tho Louisville,

N e w Orleans and Texas road will arrive

at 5 o'clock p.m. T h e Memphis and

Charleston arrives at 6.10 p.m., thus

preventing the delegations coining via

that route iram connecting with the

Cotton Belt, and thereby forcing them

to remain over all night in this city and

until 10.15 a.m. next day, if they have

to go via tho Kansas City lino of road

from Memphis to Jonesboro.

N o w about the Iron M o u n U i n route.

W o will not leave Memphis until 7.15 p.

time to arrive from all points. This

will put us into Fort Worth M a y the

If yon have through tiokete you will

havp no e x t K charge to pay for transfer.

belter to have h im in our hearts. Nor do

we know Christ till he is revealedln

us. Til l then ho has no " form nor

eomrliness." " Ho is despised and re-

jected." There is nothing in which sin-

ners and Christ ians differ so radically

as in their views of Christ .

To reveal is to tnuko known, and how

does (iod make his Son known? I

answer

I In ihn excellence and loveliness of

his tthnruutrr. ThiisR in whom he is

reveali-d, discerning his beauty, say

l i e is the ehiei among ten thousand

and nltdgelher lovely ' ( iod wlio com

inatided the l ight to ^hitie out of dai k

Mess shinoN in their h<arlH and gives

them the light ul the knuwlcdgo of his

glory in I ho lace ol Jesus Christ. How

chauged,thcn,aro their views oI Christ !

There is no change in h im—he is the

same—but how different their concep

t ionsof his character! They regard it

as the bright center in which all the

lines o( moral beauty, and perfi ction,

and glory meet. They are enamored of

hifl charms, and are resdy to say,

" W h ( m have wo in heaven but thee?

and there is none upon earih that wo

dtssiro besides thee." Truly Christ is re-

vealed in his exoellcnco and loveliness.

2. He ifl revealed as an able Savior.

Poor Hinnera need a Savior and their

condition ih so wretched that they need

an able ono. Jcbub in able to save to

the ultormoBt, complctoly and oternally,

all who come to God by him. Paul in

whom bo was revoalod, said ol him, " I

know whom I have believed, and am

poraoaded that ho is able to keep that

whioh I hoTo committed to him againut

that day." Wherein does his abi]it> to

savo appear ? In the fact that ho haa

mado an all-suffioient atonement. Tbo

torin atonement, aa uaed in theology,

meaof latiarMtion, reparation of in-

jury, elo. The olaima of Uw h o ntla-

fiad. The diahonor inflioted upon it by

'therefore, be oonaiateatlyexeroia^ for

his take. ^ Beoanae he baa been aet

the justifier of the believer. Christ's

ability to save it not the ability of ab-

stract omnipotence, but it ia mediate

rial. I t iB exerted through his cross,

only through his eroBS. Able to save I

Who, in any of the centuries, has ap-

plied to Christ for salvation aud found

iiim powerless to save? There is no

such record in the annals of time. He

is an able Savior.

3 Be is revealed as a willing Savior.

Some admit the ability, bat doubt the

willingnrss of Christ to save. How

they mistake! Ho even said to Jeru-

salem, " How often would I have gath-

ered thy children together, as a hen

gathereth bcr chickens under her wings,

and ye would not." To doubt Christ's

wiliingncBS to save is to doubt his wil-

lingness to do what he came into the

world to do. " I t is a faithful saying,

and worthy of all acoeptance, that

Christ Jesus came into the world to

save sinners." Al l his sorrows and

agonies arcproofii of his willingness to

save. His death is the grand proof,

and his cross, covered with blood, pro

claims this proof to the ends of the

earth. Christ is so revealed as a Willing

Savior that the soul is filled with peace

and joy. There is no doubt as to his

power to save, nor is it to be supposed

that his power will be reluotantly ex-

erted. Whenever Christ is revealed in

the soul bo is revealed as a willing

Savior. Those who trust in him not

only believe in his ability ns a Suvior,

but also that he takes pleasure in the

cxerei e ol his ability. "They know that

it is infinitely gratifjing to his loving

heart to )>ave sinners, that ho has no

pleasure in their death, but delight* in

iheir salvation.

4 Clirist is revealed as the ho|)e of

glory. The inspired language of Paul

is, " Til whom God would m»ko known

what is the riches of the glory ol this

mystery among the Gentiles ; whioh is

Christ in you the hope of glory." A

hope so aspiring and confident as to

look for glory must have a good founda-

tion to rest 00. Christ is so the foun-

dation of this hope that ho irrepro-

sented as the hope itself. Think of it,

ye heirs of promise : Christ is so re-

vealed in the soul as to create and sus-

tain the hope of heaven, the hope of

eternaf life I Creatures on God'a foot

stool expecting to go up to his throne

because Christ is revealed in them as

the hope of glory I Truly this is a

blessed revelation.

Oomments'Made on Mr. Spurgeon for Opposing Those Who Are

OA the Down-grade.

Mr. Spurgeon remarks in bia magaiine

on the assurance addressed to him by a

newspaper that "religion oan never

paaaawajr." Heaaya:

Weean •aaqre onr fViend that we

never tbotight it eonld. . . . We

are aure that the doetrinea of the goapel

i^iil oatlive ell the do iop of " inodera

thongbt" Tbe trouble Is, that For tb*

moment error is having its own way

. . . where hotter things onco ruled;

and, worse still, that good men will ntot

SCO the evil, or, seeing it, wink at it,

and imagine that i t will do oo very

great deal of harm. I t is ours to give

warning of a danger which to as is man-

ifest and alarming; and i f the warning

makes us the butt of ridicule, we must

bear it. . . . An American who in-

quired of certain leaders in the Down-

grade what tbey thought of Spurgeon's

conduct, was infdrmed that sicknesa

and age had weakened his intellect.

This has been their ooutemptuous

method all along; but fsots are not to

be set aside by such remarks. . . .

I t may be that the old truth is in the

minority, and that those who uphold it

are thought to be troublers in Israel,

and causers of false alarm; but we are

not the less confident that' when good

men return to their better »elvea they

will see differently. Bitterly will some

regret that they allowed matters to

drift and drifl till they had wrought

incalculable mischief. We have spoken

in saddest earnest. I t is no pleasure to

us to stand apart and refuse complioity

with what we Judge to be a great crime.
