DjrrcH, OB ccaviK BAnisrs

Ge r m AN V was so named by t h t Romans, and is a vast extent of country, extend

ing i n one way f r om the Nor th Sea to the Danube, and in the other way froJn'Gaul to the Hieot ick Lake. This immense country

was inhabited by a great number of di f fer-ent tribes having a general l ik-noas, but divided in to several d i f ferent nations. They were a people of large stature, fair complex-ion, blue eyes and red hair." Their worship was of a simple sort of patriarchal style, in an early day, but after awhile they degen-erated into idolatry, and then into barbari ty. Immense mult i tudes emigrated in di f ferent d i iect ioni that they might support their r ising posterity. German/ was a k i ad of s torehaoe of nations. They formed colo-nies in many countries, and were called the fathers of all Europe.

Robinson, Orchard aad others claim that there is good reason for believing that the gospel was preached i a Germany in the first century, and to the Goths by the apostles themselves. I t is ceit&in that the goapel was {reached in this country several centu ries before her kings becam3 Catholics. A^er speaking of the founding of churches in Gaul by certain AsAtic doctors, sod the subsequent rapid prog.ess of tho gospel a-nong the Gau'.s, the learned, though not always impar l i ; i l historian, Dr. Jloaheim, says: " W e a u i t also place in this (ths 31) csnlury the Oiigin of several German churches, euch es Cologne, Travis., l l en tz and others, of which Euehariui , V.i letiu3, Ma-terni'S acd Clemens were th«* pri-icipal founders." (Hist , p 5S.)

l u this early day, thoug^i^ the Germain nation wwdiv ided by various denominations, yet they all agreed in oue po in t They b^p t;z3d noae without previous in i t ruc t ion , but such they baptized at any timp. They also reb \p t : z ;d all who had bee a baptized among the Catholics before they could be receiv>d into their churches; and, for this reason, were called Anabaptists. (This was said of them i n the fifth century } These views on tha ordinaaco embraced by the Germans regulated their conduct in their religious societies wherever T ley formed a colony among othsr people, as may be traced in Spain, Lcmbardy, . \ f r ica, I ta ly and F/acceu Hezeray, the French historian, says the Burguadians, a.people of Germany who had received the Christian fa i lb , visited France so early as 430 and o'.»tained a settle-ment at Viennsi :aad. Lyons." (Orchard's H i s t , vol. L, p. 321)

rhus we find that Germany was early b'ess^d wi th the holy iclluences of the Christian religion, and for several centuries mainta intd the doctrines of the go.^pel in their pr ist ine pur i ty and simplicity. But they could not always remain in the ascend-ency, as they had done f j r some years. Several a t t e m p t were made to convert them to Popery, but all i n vain. Papal am-bit ion v.as ^ r e s t r a i n e d , and Germany was a large and populous country. I i was toward the close of the eighth century that Charles the Great dete.mined to eubdue the Saxnns who inhabited th iscouatry . He resolved upon their death UEless they wor-shiped according to the raperstitions and r i tua l of Borne. They were required^ on p u n of death, to have their i n f j n t of fspr ing baptised. l o course of t ime the religious l iberty o l Germany was completely de-stroyed. The k ing took an oath of the peo-ple for the fa i th fu l fu l f i l lment of al l his t t ipulat ions. Chriatianity made a rapid p r c ^ e a under SUtepatronage. To hasten the complete subjMdon of these ancicnt Saxons, the Pope sent among them apostles —Bomish pnesta—^who preache4 up a t r ine immeiakKL They were veiy successful, and n u m l ) ^ embrasM ^ e Bomish fa i th, who, t 4 ^ i b e r w i t h their chi ldren, were immersed naked m tnbs prepared for the purpose, and placed i n the open u r .

The Anabaptists, the descendants of the ancient Waldenses, and fathers of English Baptists, now claim our attention. W e find various, and, in some cases, confi ict ing ac-counts of the German Anabaptists. Our enemies would have the world believe that they originated wi th the mad men of Mun-ster, but such an insinuation, we doubt not, wi?l be chown to be withoai any foundation whatever.

Dr. Mosheim, who was not at all part ial to the Baptists, being a member of the Lutheian Church, thus writes concerning the or ig in of the Anabaptists: " T h e true or ig in of that sect which acquued the de-nomination of Anabaptists by their admin-bter iog anew the r i t e of baptism to those who came over to their communion, and derived thatofMennoni tes f rom the famous man to whom they owe the greatest part of their present fe l ic i ty , is hidden in the depths of ant iqui ty, and is, of coniequeace, extremely di f f icul t to be ascertained. Thia uncerUinty wi l l not a^kear surprising when i t is considered that this sect started up suddenly in several countries at the same time, under leaders of d i f ferent talents a n i di f lerent intentions,, and at the very period when the first contests of the reformers w i th the Roman PontiSi drew the attent ion of tho world, and employed 'he pens of the learned, in such a manner as to render all other objects aud incidents almost matters nt indifference. The modern Menuonites not only consider themeelves as the descend-ants of the Waldenses, who were so griev-iously oppresfcd and petsecuted by the des-potic heads of the Romisb Church, but pre-tend, moreover, to be the purest oi lspt i i ig of these respect:ible sufferers." And again, the Doctor says: " Tae Mennonites. are not entirely ia error when they boast of their descent f rom the Wiildeuses, I'etsobiussians, and other ancient secU, who are usually considered as witnesses of the t ru th in the limes of gea<iral darkness and superstition. Before the rise of Luther and Calvin t lere lay concealed in almost ai' the countries of Europe, part icularly in Bohemia, Moravia, Switzerland and Gerniany, many persons «bo adhered tenaciously to the doctr iae of the Waldenses and Wickl i f f t tcs. ' That the kingv'om of Chr ET, or the visible cburch which he established ou earth, was an assembly of true n.nd real saints, aad ougWt, therefore, to ba inaccessible to tha wisked and unrighteous, aad also exempt f rom all those iastitutions which human prudence suggests to oppose the progress of in iqu i ty , or to correct a n r e f o i m transgressors.' (Moaheim's Church Hist., pp. 400, 491 )

" The Bohemian and Moravian Baptists were then dividad into two classes, the one csnsisted of Calvinist Picards, and resided at di f fereat placc3 all over the k 'ngdom, Some of their ministers kept £chool, others practiced physic. The other class lived altogether in Moravia, and are called in the edict by the new German name—Anabap-tists. These people l ived in for ty five divi-sions, called cslleges or f raterni t ies; exactly as their aacestors had done before their banishment f rom France, about four hun^ dred and fifty years before this period, or in I1.G3" Af tergo ingsomewhat in to detail, the same author, Babinso.i, concludes thus: " To recapitulate the histories of these Baptists. .Authentic records i n France assure us tha' a.people of a certain description were dr iven f rom thence i n the twel f th century." (Eor clesiasUcal Researches, pp. 523, 524, 527.)

Bohemia was to the German Baptists.what Piedmont was to the Waldenses. I t is in the east of Germany, a n i being almost sur-rounded wi th impenetrable^ mountains, in times of persecutions i t afforded seclusion and shelter to oar Baptist fathers of the middle ages. In to this country d id thoae Baptists, who rvere banished f rom France i n the twel f t l i century, flee, and here, too, they found shelter. " A i l Bohemian historians say Picards «r Waldenses settled in Bohemia >n the twel f th century, at Satz and Lann on the r iver Eger." (Robinson's Ecclesiastical Res3arche8, p. 508.)

Thus we find that the German Anabap-tists can boast of an origin', acoordbg to Mosh^m, " hidden i n the depths of ant iq oi ty," a n ^ according to Robinwtr , they fled in to this coantry from France as early aa 1163, and t ^ k refcige i n the moun^iuns oi Bohemia. ' W h a t becomes of the a j l e ^ t i o n of the enemies of the Baptists, who represent t l iem a l having o r i g i n a t e w i t h the mad men of Munster?

T H B seventh anniversary of the L->ag Island Asceciation was lately held in

Brooklyn. Jh ia body n u o ^ r s f p r t y - f i ve churches, t veo i y - f ou r of which are i n the city of Brook lyn , and the others scattered about the i^and. The musion work of the Association, and the increase of the denom-in jttiooai strength oa Long Island hare been very marked and hope'ul for the last s ix or eight years. The population of the Island is rapidly increasing. Railroads are being-mul t ip l ied, and steamers f r o m the city touch i t at «(U important points. l u p r o x -imi ty to'Neir Y o r k , and i u faci l i ty for sus-taining an immense population make i t i m -portant to tie cared for , in a religious and a denominatienal point of view. No Christ ian labors are iieceived wi th more fat or than those of our own denomication.

FBCE COllMCiCIOX AHOXC CS. A marked point of interest i n the meeting

of the Association Vas the proposed action wi th r e f e r e i ^ to the Lee-Avenue Church in Brook lyn, whose pastor. Rev. J . Uya t t Smith, about three years ago, became open com mucton. He published a work of fiction callad the ' 'O^en Door," designed to further bis views. His book, l i ko himself, was very severe on BaptL^ts, but very gentle and gen-erous w i t h Bedobaptists. Mr . Smith was ia early li.'e a Presbyterian. l i e became a Bsp. t ist, and oaf of the "e i ra i te i t sect" He de^ fended imm«rsioQ as the only mode of bap' t i su , and wjMte and published a tract ivhen )>a8tor ia Buffalo, defeading str ict cMn-muaicD. I t was ^lood—really the best thing he has ever publishod.

Mr . Smith's course in his cburch kas caused maOy of the older and most icP.u-eatial members to leava A m.\ ior i ty of those who remaih sustain the pa£tor*^s cause. He says they are, a unit « i t h him. ?'he church is feeble—always has been feeble; doubtless, n i t h such a leadership, always wil l be. The Association has regarded the course of pastor and people in this th ing wi th great disfavor, but have deferred action, supposing the pastor would leave, or some change in the att i tude of the church t ran -spire. Theirhouse of warship has once been sold at awt ion , under a foreclosure, and now awaits a redemption, or a final al iena-tion.

The Association appointed a committee ta inquire into the facts so far a; the church is concerned, and report next year. Mr . Smith denied the r ight of the body to i n -quire into the a f f i i r s ot aa independeat church, aad defied their power. He wished the body to take action at once, but pro-tested that he did not wish to be made a martyr . No doubt had the question came up, on cutt ing off the church, it would have been carried by a large mpjor i ty . This wi l l probably bo the result another year, unless some special change tak£s place in the pos-ture o f : IFiirs.

OTHER MlRiS OF CPEN" COVMrSIOS. I t was uaderstood that the Uan!>oa Piace

Church, Brooklyn, was somewhat iafected with free commuaioa views uader the lead-ership of their late pastor, Rev. M. Penteccst, but their present pastor, Dr. Ful toa, wi l l rect i fy aU tha t Dur ing the Association, a member of the First Church, Brooklyn, of which Rev. M.' Gallaher was pastor, but which has lately called Df . Tnomas, of Chi-cago, publicly declared that in his church there were three hundred members in favor of open commumon, aad that he had the names of more than t v o hundred such. This statement was denied by the church clerk. The statement, no doubt, was par -t ial ly true, buti not whol ly so.

The small oharch at Bockvi l le t jenter , of which the yoange\.Hr. Pentecost was pastor, was greatly d i s t u rb ' ^ by his free communion views and practices. , Oa this account he l e f t Now, w l ^ another p u f o r , all is or tho-dox and orderly.- T h e k ^ i s ' a l o o d d ^ ' e a i d about open comtnomon among us, but .of this distarbiog d e m e n t there real ly is very l i t t l e in the charches.

Let Mary land and the Distr ict of Colombia raise $3000.

The amoant may be made ap e i t h u in new contributions or by the payment of old bonda I f this can be done, then I can go ahead wi th my permanent work.

ED. BAPTIST :—Your corresponding ed-itor for Midd le Tennessee, whoM duty

i t is to keep your m a n y - m o u t h ^ organ and your certain sounding trumpet,.Tub E i m s x , posted on the doings, beings and belongings of the Baptistti of Midd le Tennessee has, i t seems, of late been very derel ict

Only two of oar eight associational meet-ings have had their proceedings reported io. your colimins, and these were prepared and. sent by your correspondent Oae would th iuk f r om the i l lustrious list of editorial contributors whose «ames we see weekly in f laming letters at the head of your paper, thai your readera would be kept fu l ly ad-, vised as to the doings of BaptisU in. every part- of ter r i tory which your paper repre-. sents. You should, B r a Edi tor , keep your force in better working order, or we w i l l take the matter in hand and do our own wr i t ing.

I n our la&t we gave the proceedings of the Salem Association, aad your pr in ter made us say that the body was composed of SOOO members instead of 3000, as is trae. Y o u wi l l please crdcr the correction. Yon, Bnx XMwor, ia joox editorial-«aB(uaeiiU on oaa. i tem of the proceedings of the meeting r c -,;.orted, said some severe things which some 'ot us th ink hard to bear.

We disl ike the spir i t manifested in the writ iag. There is to 3 much recrimination in i t , and, besides, we are sure you are mis-taken in some assertions made—avertions, which as historic facts, are not true. Of course we do not believe you would k n o w -ingly misrepresent us, nor present us i n a false l ight be.^ore the ^ t i s t s of the South-west, but we th ink i t is powb le for a person, viewian ^subject f r om a wrong standpoint, to arr ive at very erroneous conclosions, and sti l l be very sincere. This we believe has happeat-d to you, but as we ha.'e not space in this connection to notice ai l that was said ia that article, we wi l l desist fcr the present, promising ta notice i t i a future, provided wo can have a hearing. Suffice i t to say in this connectioa that we have ever regarded i t a great misfortune that the Bap tisU of Middle Tennessee were x x t united on one paper. And as experience has fu l ly demonstrated the fo l ly of attempting to sus-tain two papers on Tenn^see soil, and as we now have but one, the one which has always represented our interests, we a^e most hearty and sincere in our desira to see all oar peo-ple ra l ly ing to its support, and trust that the t ime may scon come when i t shall intro-duced i n every fami ly of the Slate.

H E nee<l of weak humani ty is strength, encouragement, consolation. True,

many are bfind to t h t i r own neceesiUes, pride, Bclfiahnew, in Tarious ways, puffs one up to fcssert an entire independence of pity, sympathy, and the like. Ye t many of us, though seeming quite strong and bold when confronting our enemies, con<5eal within our breasts Many haraeaing doubts and fears. Moments there are, indeed, of exquisite joy when the uplifted soul melts into ecs-tasy.

"Oa eagle Tings we soar," till i ' le very gates of heaTcn open in blissful tisione o ' the crystal r i rar , the jasper sea, the precious golden city, the gn>at white throne and the innumerable hoiU of henTcn. Faith leems a t such a t ime to have realised the " things hoped for." The mariner no longer dings to his weatherbeaten veaeel, bu t steps pioudly anddefiantly outnpon the wares; he walk? alone to meet Jesus, whom he sees coming ore r the dark , gloomy waters. Bu», alas! these blissful moments are often fol lowed by hours—yea, even days and weeks of hear t sinkings, gloom, anxiety, struggling, groping and wretchedness. This is not the cjise with all belierers. Some do, indeed, enjoy an abiding consciousness of Jesus' presence, which confers upon them a feeling of security no t disturbed by any casualty, howerer destructlTe it may be to their tem-poral ease

In such a time of trial the hear t inyolun-tarily turns t o the s turdy fisherman, who leaves his place of safety and essays to meet the Master walking on the storm-troubled waters of Gennesareth. H e has one agoniz ing prayer from the depths of his helpless soul—he has b u t one c r y - " Lor5! save, 1 perish 1" Oh, how freqtf tn t the times when the mind is a perfect sea of bewildermf nt, when fai th is tottering, feeble and stricken, when hope is almost drowned in the l.itter, bi t ter cup, the joys of salvation gone, the sou! dwolate and forlorn, " a dry and desert land where no water is»" How oft comes to uu the stings of conscience, " the thorn in tbe flesh;" the bi t ter dregs of the cap of sin we have d r u n k in times long gone by! And is there no help 7 No refuge for the weary, s t rength for the weak, light for the wanderer? Yea ; thera is! Thanks bo to God. n a to whom we cry a i anguish, the weeping Savior, t he sufferer of Gethsemane, he who stretched forth his hand an.l caught the struggling, sinking Peter , "wi l l s cpp ly 6ll our need, according to the riches of his glory in Christ J e s u s ! " Does conscience bring in persistent array against our hopes the host of sins of which we are guilty, and seek to put to shame our claims to sonship with God; are we taunted with our meek-ness and unworthincM; let us turn to the Lord our righteousress. In him we are sanctified, in h im complete, in him free from condemnation. " The blood, of Jesus cleanseth from all sin."

" T h e dying thief rejoiced t j see Tha t fountain in his day,

And there have I, tho' vile as he, Wash'd all my sins away' "

Sinful, weak, stumbling we may be, the " way may be gloomy and sad, ' yet let us not be cast down; Jesus, the sin-bearer, has died for us, " while we were without strength' ungodly, and, if saved by the death of him while yet wandering, much more being made alive, will we be saved through his l i f e?" Keep close to Jes tu , the helper of the help-, less, Jesus the giver of grace, the I jver of oar souls.

Sometimes there are doubts and f j a r s of another kr'nd that threaten us with destruc-tion. Peering out in to the night of the future our imaginations conjure up a thou sand ills tha t may happen ; friends upon whom we lean for strength, dear ones whose presence is the stay of our life, the very fount of all our earthly joys, these may soon be taken away, and we shall be alone in eur wretched helplessnssa How the heart aches and the teata are dried, the cheeks parched a t the very thought Alone! thou canst not be le f t a!on& " I will not h a v e thee comfortless."

The Corresponding Secretary of the For-eign Mission Board, Dr. Tapper, suggests that the officers of the State Cenvention, and of each of. t h e District Associations in the State shall be ex fMch members of the com-mittee. ; . Our committee adopted this sug-gestion, and we now call npoa the8<> exoffda member.* to co operate with us by first send-ing their names or a copy of their minutes to Bro. Crawford, our Corresponding Secre-t i ry , a t : Keachi, and then by going to work within the! bounds of their Assojiatious to arouse an interest on the subject of foreign missions, and.'get a cootribuiion, if possible, however small, ' .from every BaptUt within t h e limits of their Asaociational jurisdiction. Whatever funds are thus collected should be sent lo Bro. Crawford, who will t ransmit the amount to the Foreign Mission Board-a t Richmond, Va.

T h e first g r e a t quet t ioa they ask, l i f ter their conversion and baptiam, is, "Lo rd what wilt thou have me to do?" While their faith induces love, gr^Utude, humility and obedience, it also as legiti mately takes the form of effort to honor Christ and save others. Now, this fourth class is evi dently the only one tha t comes up to the New Testament model of a Chris-tian, and tKis is the type of religion I wish in this discourse, to urge you to cultivate and develop. This is the k ind of religion tha t t h e world, above all things else, aeeda I t is not only attainable, b u t infinitely de

The North Louisiana Assoiiation appoint-ed a committee to a t tend to this matter , who will act through the committee at KeachL Others may prefer this plan..

Let ter f rom Slireveport. BR O . G R A V E - ^ —Wehave just passed one of the most terrible tcourges tha^ ever

afllicted any people. Upon the first appear ance of the epidemic two thirds of our popu lation fled, leaving about four thousand, in eluding the negroes. Of that number about twenty per c e n t fell victims. At one time there were about one thousaud cases, and the interments reached thirty fife a day. The Baptists here did not escape so well as tl«e churches in Memphis. We lost tsrenty nine, embracing some of our very best mem bars, including Bro. Charles L.^ Walden, Superintendent of the Sunday school, W. W. McCaia, Assistant Superintendent, a n l P. Licossitt, Librarian, J. i l . Law ion, a prominent lawyer, and a step-5on of Bro. S G. Hillyer, h'orsythe, GA, Harriet M. Pres c j t t , the widow of Ksv. J o h n Q. Prescott deceased, and Ler two sons—Henry and Hartwell; Ks?. S. McClouJ and his son Henry, besidfes many olhers. Bro. JlcCloud had accepted the charge of the church at Nav&sota, Texas, aad had returned here to remove his family. Eat before he could get away his family were taken, and he wit nessed the death of two of his children, t n d then sank I imseif a victim. I .im preparing a more extended noti ;e of this excellent brother. I bad an at tack as reported in the newspapers, ba t Lave entirely recovered. Jly wife and other members of my family nursed me, but all of them escaped through the merciful prov da tco of God. We hold memorial meeting n e s t Sunday to p i y a proper tribute to our dead. We will also reorganixo for future work. Among those who are coming in to £11 up the d<tpleted population are some Biptisw, aad la^t San day one was received for baptism.

The other churches here have sutT^red terribly, especially the Methodist Church I heard their pastor say tha t he had lost every working member he had.

x iL 28. AM O N G those called Christians, there are four leading classes. The first a re those

who, excepting by the observance of relig-ious rites, do not differ in the least f rom irre-i ipous. They exal t the church above Christ, i u head, awd magnify the form of godliness above t h e power thereof This «laaa is a great h iudraace to the world's con version; and it were well Cor the world if ihonld cease to exist.

A second elasa are those who t ake what has been called the middle walk of Chris-tianity. It embraces thoae who, besides the bdlief of gospel doctriaes and the observance of goapel ordinances, are, in the main, irre-proachable ia their condnct In all churches this ia the largest elasa

A third daae embraces thcie whose great aim is to ha soond ia their doctrinal views and joyfnl in their emotional frames. Their chief conoam is to laf ve i l the feondation of Ihetr peaoe with O ^ and haild them-•elvee up in the highest and most experi-mental Tiewa ot Christ Thi^ are lealons for » s o m d creed, j o y M frvmes and an irre-prdiensible fifo< Thb d M is g e a o i n ^ reU9oas,aa e»asH8(>eB,bat fiaUs short of t h o g o i ^ a B d s L

Who can estimate the amount of unde-veloped moral power there is in the churches of Christ? We ta lked of the la tent power of steam, till Wat t evoked it, and made it impel huge engines over land and sea; of the la tent power of the skiea, tUl science climbed their heights, seised the spirit of the clouds, and made it abolish t o t h space aLd time, and flash our thoughts across roll-ng seas, to distant continents. But what

are these to the moral power tha t lies sleep-in the chm^hes of God? As a man

once stood Sy the cataract of the Niagara, as the waters of a hundred lakes rolled over, with the roar of a hundred thunders , in-stead of being filled with suUime admira-UoE, he was amaied at the immense loss of water-power. But whocaa estimate the loss of religious power there is in the Z on of Grd? If all the la tent rel igioi in the pro-fessed friends of Christ were acted out, the world would be speedily and thoroughly con-verted ; and can nothing be said to induce us to shake off stupidity and arise to n o r -mal action? My tingle object is to excite you to shake off inactivity, and exer t your selves for Christ and souls.

primitive Christians. I t is granted tha t they had their doctrinal errors and personal ^per fo i r t ioaa a n ^ faul ts ; but they had one « c e l l 6 i c y t h a t ' m s d e them pre eminen t among their b r ^ r e n who have succeedc d t h e m : « d tha t was their acdee consecra tion to J J h r i s t They were singularly mili tant , zealous a n d aggressive. How tightly has the principal book in the divine canon, tha t describes their character and work, been enti t led, n o t t h e creed, or resolutions, or joys, but " The AcU of the AposUes. Wha t s.ort of acts ? Not a t t empU to reform the governments of the world, not deeds of blood; bu t religious acts, so united, VJ^r-ous, continuous and self-denying tha t they did more to spread the cause of t h t i r Mas ter than has been done since their day. Not the apostles only, bu t private Christians of both sexes, and of every condition, in obedience tc the last great command of their ascended Lord, devoted themselves, person-ally and collectively, to the work of spread-ing Christianity over the world. Wi thou t many of the great facilities for converting the world tha t we have; without onr books and means of travel, and combined act ion; wi th a world to convert jus t as depraved as it is now; with no greater measure of divine influence than is promised to us ; with dun-geons, gibbets and mar tyr fires in their path, Ihey exer ted their powers for Christ, mortal and immortal, till they filled the whole Roman empire with the sound of salvation. So intense was their love for Christ, that , when defeated at one point, insUad of re turning to Jerusalem, discouraged, they proceeded to another more distant field, and still another, and thus onward, all doing the work of Christ, till, ere the lapse of sixty years after the day of Pentecost, they had formed churches throughout all t he domin-ions of the Cffijars, ex tended the k ingdom of Christ from the Jo rdan to the Thames, and frem the snows of Scythia to the burn-ing sands of Africa. Oh, had the mant les of these New Testament Elijahs fallen on sue ceeding Elishas, long ago this revolted world

8. Caria'iac Baptism ia the immersion of » telierer ia water by a qaalined aimiaisirator, ia the aime of the Trinity, in rfpretmUition (he burial and resureclioa of Christ, and pro-fcssica of a death to sin, union with Christ, aa i eoaaecration to hia service. O.tc mode only, Bterefcre, can answer this design, and the pro-fessian of baptism cannot ie made by eAi.'i.vn, except "(«« eSiZira* of God by Faith." Matt, ii: 16andxivi i I :17;Markxvi: 15; Johniii :2,S; Aeta viii: ta the close; Rom. vi: 4, 5: Col. ii: 12; San. m . 26, 27.

Burying ia water of one dead to sin is aaly action; sines tho burial or a dtaJ man is the only "likaaeas" or representation of death ia tie world, for it is called the likeness of death.

with human devices or tradition, is, and ever has been, the reHgion of Baptists.

2. Poniiae laws (aa baptism aad the subjects of baptism, etc.) are not left ta be inferred, but I s all eaet require potitite and plain commands, tsexas^le*.

I Ta divide the positive requirements of Christ into mt*tiaU.a.nd aon-esseatiaUjia to decide kffw far Christ ia to be obeyed, and in what paints we may safely disobey him. But ta re-fise to one ef the least of his positive re-^niraments « to t e : ^ others ao, inrolves one in the guilt ef violating alL

4. Every positive law, ardicance, or practice ia the chnrcb, nst esziresil^ eommanded or exam-pled, is pontweZjf fin-hiliin, tin.ce the tpedjication if ose thisff it the jirahiiition of every other. Those

an human inventions aad traditions, as in-.aat baptism, sprinkling, pouring, cICt now practiced for religious rites, for which no scrip--taral warrant can be fouai!, and art, tker^ore, •infuL

6. Cbcist gave no mea, sooiety or church the authority to irajU with the ardinance or organ-ization ef his Church or Kingdom, as to make or abange his laws, and substitute one thing for another. To surrender what be has established, ia tnaehiry—to change them, treason.

the perpatoHy of his kingdom, trill, if they "Oaniwt agree with our eonelasions, be as quick to accord to us honesty of pnrpose, and charity toward Ood and toward man, as they will be prompt to enter a disclaimer if we speak not according to the revealod will of God. In the prophetic writings of Dan-iel (iL 44) wUl be found this Scripture:

And in the ^lays of theae kings shall the Ood of he IV en set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consum^) all theae kingdom*, and it shall stand forever.

In Daniel yi'u 13,14: I saw in the night visions, and, behold,

ont) like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought .him near before him. .4nd there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all peopl^ nations and languages should serve him; hisdomir. ion is an everlasting dominion, which ^hall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

And in th.j ISlh verse of the eame chap-ter we read:

But the saints of the Mojt High shall take )he kingdom, and possess tbe kingdom for ever, even for ever and aver.

And agaia, in the 27ta verse; And the kingdom and dominion, and the

Kreatoeos of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Wo beg all interested to keep these pas-sages of Scripture in mind, for cn them we rest our argument; and if we do not estab lish their fulfillment from the word of God we are willing to surrender our position, and to disavow Baptist teachings for eig'nteen hundred years as uuneccessary and unecrip-turaL That the above prophecies clearly

THE DBSrnT OF WRIEL s a IV.

H£ New Testament ia not silent, as some suppose, on the national restoration of

IsraeL lU relerenca to this question a|e not many, bat.when t h ^ do occur they stron^y confirm the prevwling view of the Hebrew Scriptniea.

The first passage to which we refer is that of our Lwd where he cays:

Jerusalem shall be trodden down by tte Gentiles untU the tima of the Gentdes be fulfiUed. (LukexxL24)

This t rea^g down of Jerusalem, as shown by the con»ext, is nothing more nor less tti»n the datmcticn and desolation of the Jeinsh metropolU and people, and their subjection to Gentile power. This treading down, however, is not to be perpetual; it is limited by the "times of the Gentiles" When these times are fulfilled, when the Gent"le nations, symbolized by Daniel's metal image, have run their coarse, and are overtaken by the judgments of God, and are broken to pieca and scattered Uke chafiF.of the sum-mer threshing floor (Dan. iL 35). then shaU the treading down of Jerusalem cease and the hour of her restoration shall come. After this the grand predictions of Jerusa-lem's glory and renown shall be fulfilled, and the shall become "the throne of the Lord." (Jer. iiL 17.)

A second New Testament passage is that w h m Paul says:

All Israel shaU be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. For this is my covenant with them, when I shall Uke away their sins. (Rom. xL 2G, 27 )

This deliverance takes place after the completion of the times of the Gentiles, and hannonizss with the passage of our Lord just reviewed. In the 25th verse Paul says:

I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceit^ that blindness in part is uppened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.

The blindness of Israel is not hopeless ; it is limited by the times of the Gentiles. When these times are full or finished " the vail that now rests upon their hearts shall be taken away."

he passage under consideration is gener-ally^ understood to mean a spiritural salva-tion. A. spiritual deliverance is certainly a prominent thought ia the apostle's mind, but not an exclusive one. It is expressly stated that ungodliness shall be turned away from Jacob vbe5 the Deliverer shall come out of Zion, %chm the blindness of Israel shall be removed, icktn ' the fullness of the Gentiles be come in," " lOr this is mv covenant with them."

What covenant id this? What its terms? What its promises? This is nailed s new covenant with the house of Israel, and is recors!ed in Jeremiah xxxl 31. A glorious spiritual renovation is promised. They shall Imow the Lord, and he will forgive th' ir iniquity and remember their sin no more. But this b not alL A national deliverance is also promised. Jehovah points to the enduring orbs of heaven and declares that " the seed of Israel" shall no more "cease frosi being a nation before him forever" than the sun, moon and ntars shall disap-pear from the sky. (Vs. 35,30 ) Nay more, "Behold, the days lome, saith the Lord, that the city thaU be built to the Lord." "It shall not be plucked up nor thro^vn down any more forever." (Vs. 3S, 40.)

This prophecy cannot possibly refer to the return ot the Jews from Babylon, for all

bisons wKdrtlieTitfier halh ftxfitrM"' own power.

They did not ask Mm if he would reatow the kingdom to Israel That quesUon, with them, wss settled. They simply wished to know if Uie time for ratoration had come. Jttos readied that they were not to know the Ume; that matter belonged to the Fathtt. If the diswpla were mistaken as to the main fact, it is utterly unaccountable that our Lord did not correct their mistr ka But as he did not correct them, but let them remain under the faU bdief of Israel's r a t a ration, it is clear that his last words on earth sancUon the old Hebrew view of a national restoration.

A fourth passage is found in Acts xv. 14-17. The apostle James says:

Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the GenUles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophete; as it is written: After this [the election from the Gentiles] I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and will set it up; that the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord

Two things are here especially notccL The first is the object of the present dispensa-tion, and that is (not the conversion of the whole world, as many believe and teach), " to take out of the Gentiles a people for the Lord's name," to separate the wheat from the tares, the sheep from the goaU. But James goes further, and assumes that after this, tlie election from among the Gentiles, " the Lord will return and build again the tabernacle of David [the government], which is fallen down." To understand who ia meant by this we need only to turn to the original prophecy, Amos ix., which treats of Israel's dispensation and their redemption in the last days:

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old. » * « I will bring again the cap-tivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make garder s, and eat the fruit of them. I will plant them upon their land, and they shpll no more l e pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord.

The matter is as plain as words can make i^ that at the end of thii-> dispensation, the times of the Gentiles, Israel, now "sifted among the nations," shall be restored to their own land never again to be rooted out, but, under circumstancef of peculiar favor, shall come

A third reference in the New Testa-aent is found in Acts L G:

Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?

What d'd the disciples mean by this ques-tion? Every preacher, commentator and thoughtful Bible student tells us that the Jews looked for the Messiah as a rejgning Prince, and for the restoration of their nation to fr e -dom and political supremacy. For a long period thsy had been an oppressed people; they were now subjects of the throne of the Ce»3ars. AU were hoping that the Messiah would appear for their deHverance and re-store their statd to its former independence and glory. The dls^'P^^ shared in this common expectation. .5p8ce their de-spondency at bis crucifixion, saying:

We trusted that it had been he who should have redeemed Isrwl

All their national hopes were crushed in their Muter's deatK But as soon as he rose from the dead and reappeared among them their old hopes revived, and they looked anew for the redemption of Israel. And this was the burden of their question as here presented. They wished to knew if the tiaf) bad come for the restoration of the k b g d p ^ "Lcard, wUt thou at this time raton'the kingdom to Israel?"

A coBBEsp 5DE -T of the lUligiovt Eenld makes tbe following statement: "1 bare a minister in my mind who wert to a cborcb which bad not been in the b&bit of paying its preacher- well; be told them wbo he was, what be was, and wkat bia work was; be said Tery little about bia salary, but what be £ d cay, let them know that he did not consider it a part of bia duty to beg for it u d ears it too. He devoted himself to his Master's work, and bia salary was always ready for bim on the first day of every quar-ter."

ELD. JOBS C. Busso^r, a colored pastor, writes as follows, which first went to Bra Glares, and then came to OB—hence tbe de-

l lay: "Elder W. H. Head, of Copisb county, IGia, Tisited tbe Spring Hill Baptist Church on Monday after the first Sabbath of Sep-tonber, 1873, and advbed with tbe Board of the Spring Hill Association, colored, in rafererce to tbe theological instruction of the ministers of said Association and others. He lectured on Monday evening on the doc-trice of justification, from Acta xii i 39. Oa the nexi day (Tuesday) be lectrred in tbe morning, in prayer meeting, on Matt vi. At 11 o'clock he lectured again, on tbe dis-tinctiTe prindpka of Baptists, from 1 Tim. ilL 15, and in tlte afternoon, again, on prayer, from Luke xL I 13. He left us wiib a pro-

. mise of visiting . t again, on Friday before the first Sabbaui in ^Cov^mber, if be can find it convenient to do so. I hope as many of my colored brethren as can do so will meet with us. Bra Head takes great inter est in us, and I can assure ail who may come oat that tbey will be much instructed by his lectures. He is a good Cixristian man, and hrs our Interest at heart"

In the dayaof oor youth he was a brother indeed to tts. The informa-ti<m of t U death, which we have just rfr ceived, briogs fresh to our i memory many of the incidents of our boyhood and youth, when the home of Bra Uenson was like a father's house t o u t We never knew any man be ter than we knew Df aeon Hent OD, and we bave an honest conviction that we never Imew a belter man. In our earliest recjllec-tions of him be waa not a Christian, but was one of the world's best types of an honest and true maa Ii. thinking of hi» conver sion and Induction into the churcb, tbe faith-ful labors of our dear lamented brother, Eld James M. Griffio, under whose labors we were brought into the church,'are brought fresh to mii'.d. Tirenty-seven years ago Eld. GriiBa was Missionary of tbe Cbicka saw Association, and established « church at Farmington, a flourishing rOIage four miles from where Corinth now stands. Un der the labors of this faithful missionary several chnrcbra were organized, which be-came large and efficient Many men and women were converted and brought into the cburchw, who have been pillars, some of whom yet live and labor on, while of others it may be truly said, though they are dead, they yet speak. Among those faithful oof s I>eacon Hensoo.deserves honorable mendon. Bra Griffin found in him a faithful co-laborer, from the very day of his baptism; and every pastor of Farmlngtoa Chnrch, firom that day to this, baa found ia him one of the truest and best helpers that could be found in any church. But Deacon Henson ''resU from bia labors, and his worka do follow him' We suppose not one person knew him wbo was not impressed with his earnest Chr.stian character; and such a character could no* fail to leave its impression on society. With in the last two years tbe visitations of death have kept him and his Chriaticn wife in moumiag. Within that brief space of tune, three grown daughters—two of them miirried women—preceded him to the grave, and to the Christian's rest AU of them gave their hearts to Jesus in childhood, and all of them died in the triumph of faith. Happy fanily! nearly all in paradise What a happy re union in that blessed 'and! It is glorious to contemplate; hence we will not " weep as those who bave no bope. " The Lord knows how to take care of his own, and

ever I have commanded yoa," aerer tangbi the observance of feet washing. Many of our own brethren, and tbe Antimiaaionary Bap-tisto, hold views in common on both these s a i g M ^ »nd we shoald ivgard tbem idike with charity, hoping that BsptisU witt come to the 'n&ity of faith and practice by and by.

In our columns will be found, too, a notice of the death of the infant son of our much esteemed brother and personal friend, Capt A. A Boyd, of Summit, Miss. Ia the times of oar country's struggle, Capt Boyd shared with H3 the soldiEr's lot In his country's service he was tried and found true; we hope he is alike true in the service of his God. We tender to him our ^rarmest sym pathies, and remember him in oar prayers May the Lord comfort his heait, and give bim grace in bis present trial. Tbe visita-tion'. of Death! How dark bis shadow t bow cold his hand! how dreadful his presence! How he despoiU our hopes, and brings sor row to drive happiness from oar circles of love. While these two home circles to which we have referred are threaded with gloom, and our heart is sed, wo remember that there ia lamentation and mourn ing in thou-sands of families all over this broad land. The year ia about to cbte, and oh! wLat desolat ion its h^avy tread baa made in lh€ earth. Cholera and yellow fever have vis-ited many of ocr large towns and cities; meningitis lias prevailed in many sectiocs, and diseasaa of almost every character have been abroad ia the land, doing their work of djstruciioa, and leaving homes deiolate. How many hearts bleed, and what floods of tears htva been shed! Bat thank God, Jesuj our king has powe'r over death. The monster can only strike by permission, and be can only destroy the cnemiea of our king. To the Christian, death has been counter-worked, and " life and immortality have been brought to light in the gospeL" Tnoogh the visitations of death are greatly to be dreaded and feared, they can only present to the depart.'ng Cbrislian the dark skirt-ings of tine, beyond which the bright beams of the eternal sun lights up a happy day.

"We fain would weepj but what of tears! Xo tears of ours can e'er recall them ;

Sor would we wish that groveling cares Cares such as ours should t-re befall'them:

They rest in realms sf licht and love— They dwell upon the Monat of Glory

They bask ia beams of bliss above, And shout to tell their happy story."

Slalsterial Troables. ' JPSTICK. FROM the days of that eminent Baptist

preacher, John the Baptist, down through all the ajes even tiU now, BapUst preachers have besn called to endure hardship. From th^ common lot it is to be hoped that we modern representatives of a noble line of «elf sacrificing men wUl not attempt to es-cape. It has always been a misfortune to make the ministerial office a fattening stall for men whose "god is their belly," who have no aspiration beyond an easy living We, who have failed so much in the matter of minUterial support, have always been above the suspicion of maintaining a selfish ministry. Our xwnduct in this particular has well jusUfied the following siioag re-mark, made by a Baptist of hard nense:

•The man who would enter the Baptist ministry for money would not be fit to preach, for two reasona First—He would be a hypocrite, for he would pretend to preach for souls, b»t woiild in reality be preaching for money. Second—He would not bave sense enough to preach; for any one who has sense enough to make a preacher would have eense enough to know he could make more money at something else." There is a chapter of hard sense in this remark, which we commend to those of our brsvbren who cry out against money preach-ers. I have seen ministers quit preaching to make aoney; but I bave never • >en a man raised far enough back in the wooda to enter a Bapiist pulpit for profit Sach a specimen of folly it would be worth a pilg.'image to see But to return: The hardships of the pastoral office have

Evils of fiaaty -OrilBtileB, Th e observation and experience of more than half a centurv has <!An*;nM.l

of the great importance of Oie divine com-maad, "lay haods saddenly im BO man." It has also shown the evilslesaltingfram its n'gltct Tfce command is to "teach all na-tioeg"—'(0 preach the gospel to every creatcre;" and yet I have seen and h?ard mea too ignorant to teach their congrega-Uons, and who andfr.>tood too litt!e of tbe £OT)el to preach it, i^t up into the pulpit and say tbey had not selected a text, and "as God gave to them they would give to the people," thus claiming inspiration from above, and charging upon the Almighty their ignorant and unconnected harangues, and boasting that tbey were not "larncd" in the wisdom of this world, but spoke as God gav<; tbem ullercnce. Yet, these were ordained ministers. Is it any wonder that such ministers were oj posed to an educated ministry, and to "larned, and men-made preacher •," as tbry called those who enjoyed better advintage^, and possessed better gifts than tbemtelves ? They used to talk to me, and to others also, whea 1 began to feel deep impressions to preach. They said, I should never preach as long as I could help it; that if God bad called me to preach, I should b« forced to do i t I believe most of these men were good and pious men, but they were n o f ' p p t t o teach," acd the injuncticn of Paal to Timothy waa neglected, to commit the preaching of the gospel to faithful men, "wbo shall bo able to teach others also." The days of thLs ignoian-:e Lave nearly passed away, but sti I ignorant men, wbo cannot preach, are sometimes ordiined and occupy placfj that should be filled by those who can preach. Paul Fays, lay bands sud-denly (or hastily ) on no man; neither be partaker of other men's sins; keep thyself pure Has this scriptural injunction in re -erence to ordinstioa been obeyed? l i it not too often ne^Jrctcd? In improper or hasty ordirsation, do we not become a par-taker of tbe sins o[ the church in cal'ing

hastily ordaining

ownbonier (famUy). and the hope in the end of the mothers temporal life wis In this meeting of them whom they bved and for whom they had toiled Th» was tbe re-ward of their work.

What sin T It must be observed that the singular number is used—not sins, in thf plural This doubt-less mtans the beriUd taint or depravity of nature tbftt tends to death, the inheritance of woe bequeathed Vj Adam, which belongs to all luen and all ages, as much as to say behold tbe second Adam through whom all shall be made alive who bave not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression,

e, willful transgret bioo. Paul seems to allude to this very fubject in the last words quoted liom t. 14 " Nevorthelesi death

Then how c o t S tbe Scriptures bave been fulfilled T See Lake xxiv. 25-27. For .what then did-he pray, when he said: «0 . my Father; if i( be ^ h l e , let this cup pass from me: ne.-ertbelew. notes 1 wUl, bnt aa tho . wilt?" His gnef and sorrow was so great th^n, that he was m danger of dying at that very time-This he feared. For deliverance from deatk then, and in that way, be prayed B h prayer was answered as well, and are all his prayera. See John xL 41, 4?. In this par-Ucular instance, his Father caused an angel -rom heaven to appear unto him. " strength-ening him." That it was death from the»

reigned from Adam to Moars, even o^er -offerings that he feared, seems evident

not been altogether, without good, since our preachers are led j ordination, by from the bsg nninp to expect to lay up }'^em to the work of the miniary? Bo we treasures in heaven rather than upon earth,! ourselves pure, from tbe sin of the and tc this blessed work they havo, in the ' t ie pf rson seeking ordination, i

by refusing to ordain hastily. The apoetacy, and tho cumber of ministers that lay down

m\in, addressed themselvea with a degree o' noble self-sacrificing devotion t j the cause of Christ worthy of all praise. It is not worth while to write much to convince the brethren gent rally that it Is not best to tempt bad men into the sacred office by the

them that had not sinned after the simil itude of Adam's tranrgreeaion," having pre-viously ea:d " sin ia not imputed where there is no law;' and-after allnding to the grace abounding to believers, he again returns to the subject so as to include those who had not sinned willfully, but who had died by the heritage of death through Adaia, and says, " That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign hrough righteous-ness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lard" (Ham. v. 21.) This seems a clear solution of the problem which seems to bave vexed so many on this. The anthorof " Notes in the Saddle," which evoked this article, is right, as in answer to " whai are we to do for infants to save them ?" be says, " nothing." The question itself is presump tuoua. Christ having done all and made the plan clear, why should man strive to be w ^ above what Is written, and attempt to add to Christ' 8 commandments by baptism or any other presumptuous or ritualistic rite ?

Indeed, so plain I» the doctrine to my mind that children are sieved through the sacrifice of Christ, as just quoted, that I am fally persuaded that in the world to come the bymnirg of praises before the

their commission for sccular concerns, and quit pre.icbing, exhibits the bad results of .'.udden ordinatiou. In almost every county we can End one or more who have aban-

Qnerfes. PLEASE answer through the columns of THB BAPTIST tho foUowing questions:

First—Is the baptism of the Antimiaaionary Baptist Chnrch ralid? Second—Do the Anti-mlsaionaries claim "feet washing" as an ordinance of their ehorch 7 These questions I ask, solely for information.

Yours, fraternally, H. D. WHHX DeKalb, Miia, Oct. 11,1873.

j s swia F^st—We think the baptisms performed

by regular ministers of the Antunusiooary B^tis t Chorches are onqaestionably valid. Those chnrcha are Ecripttual chorches, bat they are n e g a t i n g an importent dniy; to are some of car so called vissionary chorches neglecting the svne dntv.

Sewnd—We think inairy of them regard feet washing a charch ordinance, bat the more intelligent of thoa do not. The same is true of i(»ne of oor own cluu ches. Some of oor own ministeia annoonce frc^, the polpit that the reason so many Baptkte r^ose to waah feet is becanoe they « e too proud. Thtu they b o u t of t h w o i m h o -miKty, and hardily jadce tfadr brethren, and file apoatlea too^ for Ooogh ^ e b - M a i -ter -gare t h e n tbe ^ coauaand, " .Te i^them an fhfnp'whatso-"

the work is commeacoJ; the year H piist, and one, two, or three humire<! dollars are behind; if he'happens to bavo as much money as that to commence with, he ia nat distressed at once—however it ii simply a question of time. Tiiese deficieac'ies occur-ring annually for a few years, the pastor is either driven io resign his posit'oh, or what is immensely worse, involve hic&self in debt, and finally seek another field of labor, under the charge of not paying his debts. The amount of suspense end mortification of feeling which a man of ordinary sensibility suffers in the meantime is entirely beyond computation. There is not a harder lot under the sun than to be required to live like a gentleman, and at tbe same time be supported like a beggar. He mast be more or less than a man that can occupy siKh a place without a continuous sigh. I believe nothing bat the hope of heaven can sustain and soothe a spirit thus tried. There are not a few who mty see these lines who will readily agree that this picture is too true 1 want to ask each reader of this paper if he does not know of solemn promises made to preachers of the gospel by churches of Christ that hare never been redeemed. Yearly, paaton in towns, and in the country too, ere defrauded out of a part of their eamingF, simply fey the refusal of churches of Christ to pay their debts. The whole country, as to honesty, is getting as " rotten as tinder-woo^" Dishoneely is manifest firom Congress clear throagh down to as knr as society goes. Where shall we look for honesty? O^e would think it might be be found in the chorches; bntalasl alas! for the credit of Christianity; eren in this we are often, too often disappointed. I appeal to my brethren to say if it is honest for brethren, in their capacity as a charch, to nrake p r o m i ^ and never redeem them. It is mipeakably betlw to nuJce no prom-ise* at a l l And what mnst be the feelings of a n ^ ^ t e r iHoa de&ai^ladr He may lore his brethren, u d desire thnr greatest good, bot he mast know that they have w«»ged him.

good address, and for a time insinuate them-selves into the confidence of the churcb and people, until time develops th.^r true char-acter. While I am now writing, one of these plausible, indiscreet preachers rises up to Jay memory, whose indiscretions led him .itep by step to the gallows. I htve known others, also, whose indiscretions became so patent that tbe charch would never have ordained them bad they waited until their true character wai fuliy kcoTn. Sach men Injure the cause of Je^uj. Brethren, men of violent and ungovernable temper are sometimes hastily ordained. Their temper gets tbem into broils, quarrels and difficul-ties that renJer them a trouble to the chdrcb, and often an eating cancer to iU prasperity and»succssB. Every aged minis-ter has had cat;sc to mottrn ovor some of these men, and to weep over the injary they have brought upon the church. H.

fnfant Salvatioa.—Xo. 2. B T J T F . THE quotition by Matthew of only a part

of the clear and complete paragraph of J eremlah on the subject of infant salva-tion, has led many into error, because they have not turned to the prophet The par-tial quotation of the svangelist has also been a subject of criticism. When, however, we look at it righUy, Matthew quoted enough to sustain bis point, and prove the position a ^ m e d in this arUcle, that thepw^hecy was a literal declaration of inftnta and their restotation in the wotrld to come to their literal mothers. Ifatthew says tho pro-phecy of Jeremlab was " fulfilled." How much? Not all. No. Bat so much as al-lades to the olayiag of the chUdren of two years old and nnder, and the weeping of the parojte personified in the person of Rachel This was a. fulfillment,of that., m a c h i n e more Then h» did not quote any more. Then wo are left to the sore word of pro-phecy, that if so much had been folfilled the remainder would: bp, which rfmainder says they shall "return from the land of the snemy" (death), and cocte again to their

its improptr plac?. say that the salvation cf i the infants ia left here in a m=fct One is almost horrified at the shadow of a diubt throws over such a bright hope. May we not reply to such in paraphrastic language of the Saripture and ssy, " If Gcd can (and would if need be) raise up children to Abraham of the very stones, how much more will he not quicken aad regecerafe our litlle onee, who having net sinned after the similitude of Adam s transgression, yet throagh the stern-ness of the law suffered the temporal death; yet through the second Adam, through whom all shall be made alive who were not under the law of actual sin with those who had been released therefrom, 'who had sinned, by faith in Cb rUt How much more, we say, will he not perfect praise in their mouths; when Rachel.dying with this hope, shall receive them into the " borders" of the holy land, re'urning as they will from the land of the enet^y (the grave), which enemy shall be swallowed up in the grand destruc-tion of Satan's empire, aad the opening of the glorious drama of that new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth rlgbteousaess? '•And there shall be no mere death.'

" What Did Je.<sus Fray For»» THIS question is asked in our excellent Sunday school paper, JCmd Words, No

vember Io. The ' lesson text ' is Matt xxvL 36-46. The answer given is, "Ttat he might not suffer. ' That night in the garden of Gethsemane, is to me the most profound and touching period in our Lard's hamiliation, yet I caiinot .-ccept this as the answer to that thrice repeated prayer cf og<Jny. That the sufferings <if Jesus were at that moment great, oh, how great, almost beyond endurance, is very evident from thu account of Matthew. But suffering u just what he came into our worid to en lore That night his euflfcrirgs s.'em tohavecul minated. The next day, when he cried after his Fathei" from the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thon forsaken me ?" he does not seem to have been in such exquisite a i ^ i s l i as oh ^ a t night He was nOfonly ' a man of eolrows, aod atq^aint^ with grief," but "was made perfect through eat fering." Nearly every prophecy and type «f him in the Old Testament brings him before as as a sufferer. See for example, Is. liii, and the bnraing bosh. His life, as given in t ^ New Testament, is a Iffe of un-paraUeM Buffering. Thus both prophecy Md type meet in him. tf be prayed, there-fore, that he^mighii not suffer, it tmms fo

were prosecuted in a primiUre form and Biaa-

ner. Mascles were the reliance for mechanicst

labors pursued, and a man's or a woman's iraiaf

was ba'ed upon the strength of these. Brtic

force has changed all this, in the malUpUeaiiac

of substitules for muscle force; and such is tkr

extent of ingenuity ia thia departmeat tJiat S

is now estimated that more work can nsw ^

accomplished by oae-teath of tha popul«^L:a tf

iatei into wonderful aclivity by it. Nor hat

is aa eiamp:e of what ingcauitj hs£ doet

success, uatU J. C. TOton, of Piitsbarg, strt«fc

a principle cf msnipulotion that ia destit-i ^

supersede all other machines, and do awsj

immortal through the needle, and Tiitoc, at

like manner, will perpetuate hia through ur

inatrument no leaa important. Tilton'a matkar

carries itself iato erery family by its owe
