C L I J O S I S .

Wen, Theo., said he, in his tmceremonious way. I am told that I am about to lose my neicp, and that yon are on the point of turning Baptist.

Oh, Uncle, don't jay that! I shall not be lost to you or any of those I loTe, even though I should feel it my duty to be baptiied. I will still be your own neice. and love you as well as ever.

Ton wim Then your mind is about made up on the subject, I suppose.

Very neariy, UDcle. I have seme other points yet to examine, which were suggested by Pastor Johnson thia aflemcon; and uniesa I 6nd them more

Some other points to eiamine! Suggested by the Pastor.' Do you th m undertake to differ with your PastOT; and talk ab<iut dedJing for yourself in re-

" gard to one of the most difScult and complicated queatious m theologrl

Oh, please Uncle, don't be angry; and don't laugh at me. I know I am only a poor simple girl, but I am accountable oniy to God, and must be decided by my own understanding of his word. What I can't find in the Scriptars for myself, I can't be sure is there. If I iloa't examine for mysdf how can I know anything about it ?

Can't you take your Pastor's word for it? Tes? if he will shew me a "thus saith the Loni"

lahisanthority. But can't you take it for granted that he has such

authority, without his pointing to the chapter and t te Terae?

It is God's word. Uncle, that I must obey; not n j n ' s . If it is in the book he can't object to shmr-m^ me vrhrre it is. I want to see it for myself Tne Apostle praised the Bereans, not because they took Paul's word for all he said, bat because "they searched the Scriptures" for themselves "to see whether these t h i i ^ were so "

.^Sj. Bofcwhat i fyooemneto a different conclu.i!ion &oin the Pastor? Do you think it wiU be wise to truat your own judgment, rather than that of thr many great, and good, and learned men of our dmrch, who have examined this subject more tho-roughly, and under much more favorable circum-stances tiian you can hope to do? Do you think it will b« indicative of the humility required by the Gospel of Jesus Christ for a simple girl not yet out of her teens, and without any theological educatiouj to set up her oim ^opinions against tiiose of Iht wisest and best men of the age?

No, Uncle, 1 don't intend to set up my opintocs agaimi those of the great and good men you speak oL' But I find that ethers, equally great and good men, after a carefiol examination of the subject, have come to adificrtnt conclusion; and that some of these same Doctors of Divimty in our church, while they practice mc thing and instruct us to do it, yet expressly- declare that it was another and a very diffiaent thing which Christ commandeJ and tha first diristians practiced. Xow ''when the Doctors disagree'' not only with each other, but with themaeivEs, what is a poor, simple girl like me to do? I can't stady theology, but I can sl-idy the Bible. If sprinkling as 'captism is there, I can see it. Pastor Johnson says it is there; other learn-ed theologi^ say it is not. What can I do ? 1 say to each of them, if sprinkling is commanded, show mo where; if pouring is commanded, point out the place; if dipping is commanded, let me see it fjT myself. If I can't find it, and you can't show it to me, I wotf t believe ita in the book at all. Ihope,Unde, you don't really "think think that I am ptond or egotistical: I only want to know just what my Savior requires. I will believe any thing and do anything if you will only show me that he has said it or commanded i t

No, my dear child. I don't think you are egotis-tical or prond. I admire your independence, and I wish every person, in every place, would in the

^ 8una way search the scriptures and understand perfectly the grounds on which their faith and practice rests. I t is not only the privflc^, but the duty of every person to examine and decide for themselves personally, what tha word of God re-quires. Religion is a penonal thing. It requires pasoTuU obedience—and that too of the heart, which cannot be rendered without some degree of pi-rsonal mderstandin^ of tha wortl. If y^r trust your oon-scimce in m y man's keeping, you place yourself in a dangerous conditicn. I am rejoiced to see you studying thia subject for yourself. And i^eed I was tiyingyour courage a little, when I affected to be surprised at your doing 80. But seriously, my dear Theo-, why did jou not come to your Uncle witii'your difficulties! J

I did intend to consult you Uncle, before my final dedsion, but the question came up so unexpectedly and our investigation has gone on so rapidly that I havenotyethadany very convenient opportunity.

.. and besides, Unde, to teU the truth, I was afraid you would either be angry or langh at me.

Toa were! Well then I will disappoint you, for so iar Cram l a n g l ^ at you I consider it a very se-rious and most importont question, and instead of being angiy with yoa, it will give me ^reat plea-iure to assist you in the investigation; and if I can't, show you the spriakfing baptism in the bible, I will be immersed myselt I will not be like those Doc-tors of Divinity yoa spoke of who say one thing and practice another. It Jesus Chri^ did not com-mand sprinkling, I for one will neither teach' or practice it. I have Eelt for some time that it was my own duty to investigate t h a subject, ind I will 3o it noVr—and with your assistance. ^

Oh* Uncle, doa'ttadk of my assistaoce; I am but i n ignorant, though anxious inquirer after the tmth, and am obliged to call for help on others at ertry step. K I shoiM speak of rendering assist-ance to yual'sfacmld indeed deserve to be called proud ind-Cgotis&o^

, _ Well, wdlj a n y ' m y child. I f y o n T O j ' t . Iidp me, I will hdp TDO. T I^ BM jnat how far

° yoa hare goUbng; What fgcofcnes yoa have made then v t a i U

It will be too long a story. Uncle,, to go over all the road that I have travded. But I have learned that there is ' one Lord, one faith, and ONE BAP-TISM." I have been inquiring whether that bap-tism is sprinkling, or pouring, or dipping. I have liiscovered that baptize as it is used in the New Testament, is a Greek word and must b« under-stood as those who read and spoke the Greek lan-guage in our Savior's time, would understand it. Dr. Albert Barnes told me I could learn thia by ex-amining the fifteen places where ha says the word occurs in the Old TestamenL I bunted out each place and found it meant '-to dip." I looked in Webster's dictionary and found that to dip in wa ter was to plunge an object into the fluid and in stantly take it out again. The veiy act which the Baptists perform when they baptize. I got Edwin to look in his Gretk Lexinjn, and he found that the word had the same meaning there,—that baptism was immersion. I read McKnight and Chalmers on the 6th of Romans and found that these great Doctors of Divinity in the Presbyterian church agreed in declariiig the same thing, and further, that it was immersion that was practised by the first church. I am told that Luther, and Calvin, and Doddridge, and a great many others of the most eminent of our Theologians teach the same things. And I have not yet found in the word of God a sin-gle passage which leads me to any different conclu-sion. Unless, therefore, I should find, aa Pastor Johnson assures me I shall, that it was dearly im-possible to immerse the three thousand that were added to ths churc'n on the day of Pantecoet, I must be convinced.

On what ground does your Pastor think it im-possiblu?

He says there was neither water enough nor time enough.

Wdl, how can you prove that there was? It don't seem to me, Uncle, that it is necessary

that I should be able to prove it in any other way thin by the mere statement of the Scripturo that they were baptized, for the word baptize means to immerse, then they book says they twre immersed— and if they were immersed there must have been time enough and water enough, whether I can prove it or not. If I do not believe this I make God a liar.

But ivhat if it can be clearly shown that there iras tiof water enough, or time enough; then would it not be more reasonable to suppose the word has some other meimtnc, than to believe tho record to be false!

Perhaps it would, but the Pastor only said it. He did not fry to prove it. Nor do I see how it would be possible now to determine how much wa-ter there was in Jerusalem 1800 years ago. Even if we knew the exact number of gallons it would require to immerse three thousand people. I re-member that we read in 2 Kings 18: 17 about the '-upper poot,'^ and in 2 Kings 20: 20 about the ^poof' that Hezekiah made, and in Nehemiah about

another " f o u n t a i n ' ^ ^ "pnoe,"and in Isaiah 22: 9, about the '-icr.ters of the loiter pool," and in John 5: 2 about the '-pool of Bt'hesda" that had five pcrchrs, and John 9: 7 about the "po^i of Siloam.'''

I think the Pastor will be obliged to give it np Theo., BO far as the want of icater is concerned: fi r in addition to this testimony from the Scripture, we have that of many distinguished travelers who were like ourselves opposed to the Baptists, and yet all agree that Jerusalem was, and is, one of the best watered dti ts on the globe. Dr. Robinson, one of these travelers, spc»ks of "immense dstems now. and anciently, existing within the area of the Tem-ple, supplied partly from rain water and partly by the aqucducf and tells us also that "almost every private house had a cistern it,"' p. 4?0. Speaking of the reservoirs, he says, (4?3) '-With such reser-voirs Jerusalem was abundantly supplietl, to say nothing of the immense pools of Solomon beyond Btithlehem, which were no dcabt coastmcted for the benefit of tho Holy City.''

There are, he says on the north Mde of the d ty , outsi'lc the wails, two very large reservoirs, one of which is over 300 feet long and more than 200 feet wide, and the other nearly 600 feet long by over 250 feet wide: and besides these he mentions the pool of Siloam and two others aa being without the walls. Withia the walls he mentions "the pool of Bathsheba,'' ' the pool of Hezekiah"' and '-the pool of Beihesda." The pool of Hezekiah he saya was abuut 240 feet long by about 144 feet broad; the pool of Bethesda 360 feet long by 130 feet wide; and besides these he mentions an aqueduct and nu-merous other fountains. (Rob. Resh. in Pal. Pp 430 to 516 )

But we might have known without any of this testimony that a city to which the whole male pop-ulation of a vast and fertile country were required to resort several times a year, and whose religious ceremonial required such frequent ablutions as did that of the Jews at the time of Christ, would be abundantly furnished with the means of bathing, and consequently present Buffident fadlitiM for im-mersion. Moreover the water would not be destroy-ed by dipping in it; and therefore the same quan-tity that would suffice for one would do for » hun-dred. .\nd it is evident that so far as the water is concerned, any one of these nnmerons pools, either in or out of the dty, would have sufficed. But was there not another and more serious difficulty'? These poolf and fountains belonged to the Jews. The same men who hated and cmdfied Christ, now had control of the water of the d t y and the suburbs, and IS it probable that they would permit the dis-dples to use them?

Certainly they would, said Theodosia, for in con-sequence of the wonderful events of this day, the Scnpture says that '-Fear came upon every sonl," and that the disdples "did eat their mr t t with glad-ness and singleness of heart, praising God and hav-tng fetor vritk all the people. They pave them the Temple to preach in, and it is not likely that they would refuse the pools to baptize in.

Snrely, saidUnclo Jones, that must remove all conceivable difficulty as to the water; but we may not find it so easy to arrange matters m regard to time. Time has always been a very nnaccomoda-ting old fellow; and a day among Ae Jews wa« only twelve hours, from six in Ae morning tilK six at eight, and if we ean't get the three thousand into the water within that period, we shall be obliged to leave some or all of them oat, and dispose of them in some other way.

Well, Unde, I don't see why we can't dispose of somi of them in some other way, fbr the Scripture does not say they were »U baptized that d»y, but only III added to the company of the disdple^ and some of them may have been UpBzed by John « by the ffisd|Jes of Jesus CSuist before' his death, and no w only con^out'^Midj and consorted with the AposUe^ «nd some might Ave ^ np to them and joined their ranks a a t day aqd h t ^ leen hap-tized afterwards.

• But is it by any means certain that three thou-sand could not all have been immersed that day? It would not be hard to tell if we knew how much lime there was; how many admimstrators there were; and just how many each one of them oould immerse.

Well, stop a little, Thoo., let us fake up one point at a time. How many hours had they to go upon? though as to that I don't see why it would not take about as long to sprinkle or pnur upon them, one at a time, and reverently repeat the for-mula ' 'I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of tha Holy Ghost," as it would to immerse them, but we will examine. What says the record? It seems that when Peter commenced his spe&h it waa not yet nine o'clock m the morn-ing, wh'ch, as the Jews counted from ax. would be the "third hour in the day." How long before nine it was we cannot tell. We will suppose it was Just nine, and there were consequently, only nine hours remaining, before six in the evening, which closed the day. Peter's speech, as it is recorded, woald not have occupied a quarter of an hour in its ^de-livery; but it is said that he exhorted them with many other words; so we will suppose he spoke an hoar, or wo will say tiro hours. It would then be eleven o'clock. Kow we will give them another hour to go to tho water, so that it is twelve o'ckxi when the baptism begins. Now they must finish, yon see, in six hours; so that is our limit as to time.

Very well, Unde, we will consider it so, though really I ean't see any evidence that Peter epoke even enr hour, much less two. Bat now how many administrators were there.'

Thia is a question, said Uncle Jones, about which there is some difference of opinion. There were certainly tho twelve Apostles, and many think, also the seventy others whom Jesus sent out two by two—who mu- t have been present, as Lnther says "they were all with one accord in one place." If so, then there were eighty-two authorized ad-ministrators. But let us first, to obviate all di£B-culty, suppose there were only the twelve, who would each have just two hundred and fifty per-sona to immerse. So on thia supposition tha ques-tion is narrowed down to thia—can one man im-merse two hundred and fifty persona in six hours. I have felt some little curiosity on this subject, and when I have witnessed immersions, have taken out my watch and observed tha time. It has usually required about fifteen minutes to immerse twenty persons; provided the candidates march in, two by two, to the place where the administrator is stand-ing. This allowance of time permits the work to be done without any appearancc of haste and with the coolest deliberation.

I have been told by several Baptists ministers, whnse veradty I have no reason to doubt, that they have immersed large numbers at the rate of two in every minute, or sixty in half an hour. At this rate the twelve would have finished the work of this occasion in a little over two hours—two hours and tea minutes. If they only worked half ao fast and baptized but one a minnte, they had time' to get through, and more than an hour and a half to ."pare. The" cnuld each have stopped every half hour and rested ten minutes, and then have gotten through in time.

So Unde, it is a* I pasperted, there is no difficul-ty as to time, even thouph only the twelve were en-gaged in the work; but if the seventy assisted, then how long would it Ukc.

In that case there would have been less than forty persons for each administrator, and of course it could have been done in less than half an hour.

But Cncle, is it certain that any one besides the twelve were authorized to baptize'

Surely, Theo., others must have been, for It is evident that Aquilla, Acts 18: 2, and ApoUoa, Acts 18: 24, and Paul himsdf. Acts 9: 18, were baptized by others than the tirelie. And Peter, when he had preached the word to the household of Cornelius did not baptize them himself, but directed it to be done by some one else.—Acts 10:14. But whether this baptism was performed by the twelve, or by the twelve assisted by the seventy, does not now concern us, as we find there was no want of time in either case. And fo you have found nothing in this case to change your opinion concerning the meanmg-of the word baptize. Now have you any other difficulties in thia way^

Not that I know of now, Uncle. The case seems to me to be perfectly plain. But perhaps you can suggest some other source of information which I have nnt yet explored.

Indeed, my dear neice, I am myself in great perplexity upon this very question. I have been snipo time engaged in its investigation; much longer than yon have, and have been compelled to come to about the same conclu.'dons with yourself—though this is the first time I have ever mentioned it.

Oh Unde, is it possible! Oh if I had only known this four days ago.

Oh yes. If you had known it, I suppose yoa would have been quoting Uncle Jones aa high an-thorily for your heretical opiniona. But I beg you will not mention this, even to your mother, until I shall have finally decided the case. But tell me now, Theo , what do you intend to dol

There is only one thing. Uncle, that I con do. 1 must obey my Savior; I must bo baptized. There is only one reflection that still casts a shade of doubt across my mind, and that is this. If it was immersion that Christ commanded and the Apostles and first christians practised, how has it so univer-sally been Bet aside, and sprinkling substituted in ita place'?

A very important point is that, my dear neio^ and I hope you will come to no final oonclusion till you have investigated thoroughly the whole sub-ject in all its bearings. And Be assured, if I can m any way assist you, I will be most happy to do so. But your friend, Mr. CoortneT, ia much more familiar with these subjects than I am. Snppose,I mention your difficulty to him and request ham,, tS! call to-morrow evening. Perhaps I may 09igii^«ith him.

BBGIN TO-DAT.—Lord I do discover a fallacy, whereby I have long been deceiving myself, which is this; I have desired to begin my amendment fh>m my birthday, or from some eminent festival, that so my repentance might bear some remarka-ble date. Bat when those days were come, 1 have adjourned my amendment to some other time.— Thus, whilst I could not agree with myself when to start, I almost lost the running of the race. I have resolved thus to befool mysdf no longer. I see no day but to-day; the instant time is always the fittest time.

We have read the Sunny Side and Shady .Side, arid we have sometimes thought we could write an Under Side, that might contain revelations not brought to light in either of these volumes. Min-isters have troubles enough it is true, but those troubles do not all coma from restless churches and meddlesome deacons. With sorrow we confess it. there ia among all ministers, as in every other pro-fessional class, an unworthy jealousy of the reputa-tion and success of these who are more popular. In conversations about brethren, we sometimes mark, with pain, a disposition to critidse and dis-parage, rather than to approve, and to rejoice in their success. We know Sncere and good men, who are yet extremely sensitive to their own re-putations, that they cannot bear to hc&r anybody praised but themselves—as if whatever was added to another's fame was so much taken front- their ow^ They seem unwilling to concede the talents of superior SMn. If a distinguished preaCber is named, they throw in abatements to qualify the general praise. These cntidsms may be just, but they seem to be made in an unbrotherly spirit. Not that jealousy is peculiar to one profession. On the contrary, we think ministers have far less of it than either lawyers or doctors, for they do not so often come into immediate rivalry; but it is a por-tion of human infirmity which cleaves even to good men, and which stains tbe whiteness of their gar-ments.

Is it not time lo have done with this miserable feeling, and to cheiish a noble and generous pride and joy in the labors of others'* The world is wide enough for us all. A body of men. organized and combined for a great moral end. ought to be anima-ted by the noblest passions, and by the most gene-rous spirit towards each other. Comrades and war-brave champions in arms, they ought to be so intent on tho general victory, as to forget their petty claims for promotion.—In tha Christian Church there is an ample spafw for thousands of the gifted good. Tbe more strc®g men we have in the pulpit, the better. Our numbers are all too few for the battles we have to fight. We hail, there-fore, every mighty man as a new champion in tha Christian host, and our hearts swell with joy as we see a fresh young giant rushing into tbe battle. All honor to the learned and eloquant, whose pens and tongues are wielded in the service of trutn. Most humbly do we give thanks to God whenever wo see a man of power raising up in one of our dties. Our hope for the church revives, aa we think bow many such are scattered over tbe land: and when one by one they depart, we mourn their death, and pray that God would raise up others of equal cou-rage to fight over the same battles for the next gen-eration.—iV. r .

First, Its nature. Second, Ita essential and inva-riable dements. Third, The form of its govem-nment. Fourth, Its officers and by whom dected. Fifth, Its sacraments, their nlation to the church, and to each other. Sixth, When and where first organized. Seventh, The importance of using the name church only in accordanoe with its legitimate meaning.

It is not necessary in a diiscnssion of thia propo-sition, to enter into a critical examination of the Greek term ekiUsia. ss used in the classics, or as defined in the lexicons. Our business is simply to assertain its scriptural definition, what the infpired writers mcaat by it. It is taken for granted, that they have made a proper use ot it, according to tbe received and approved signification. Neither is it necessary to examine particularly, its general ap-plication in the scriptures.

It is Uiied a few times in the New Testament, to signify an assembly of mixed character. But the object of this Essay, is to eiamine ita special r.p. plication, and true scriptural meaning.

It occurs in the New Testament over one htm-dred timee, with a spedal application: meaning a christian assembly. Ia about one fifth of these in-stances. it is applied to the church universal, and in the remaining four fifths, to particular congregations of Christiana. When used in its general sense, as rIMesia tmtvfrsal, it does not mean an organized body, with a prerogative to exerrise the functions of government, but a distinctive dasg of individu-als, possessing alike the character of disdples of Christ. As for example, in Matthew xvi, 18: ' Up-on tliis rtxk will I build my church." Here Pettr answering for himself and the other disdpl», de-clared their faith in Chri.^t, as the Son of the living God. And in answer, Jesus dedares, that upon upon them, and sufh aa they were, possessiDg like faith, he would build his church.

This is evidently the correct meaning of t ie past-sage. And of the same meaning and application, is the expression in Eph. i, 22-33: "And gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body." We use the word in the same sense when we say, the christian church in America, or the kingdom of Christ in the wor!d. But whenev-er the term is applied m the scripUires in its special sense, it always means a particular body of Chris-tians. organized strictly in accordance with the laws of Christ, and thereby prepared and authorized to exercise all the functions of irovemment. .\nd in this particular sense it is applied about ninety times in the New Testament.

As in Matthew, xviii, 17: "And if he neglect to hear them, tell it to the church,'' &c That a par ticular organized body is here meant, is made plain by tho distinction made between the indiriiual members and the church. Likewise in Acts ii. 47: •'And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.'"

Here, such a? were of the rropff character were added to tbe church daily. The liJic u.-e is made of the term ekkltfia in all the o'her in.';;anccs of the ninety. But it is never applied to the rfiiL'ers of the church as such, nor to a part or parts of a church, nor to an asajciated body of individual churches.

The following mvcstig&tion will have as Its prin-dple object, the sp-eecal meaning of the term, as applied to a particular organize d boriy of christians

And in the first place, to a-scertain the pcnptural meaning of an evangelical or christian ckurch, wc will examine its nature.

The christian church is essentially peculiar in its nature. There is nothing in the world like it. It ia peculiar as being a Divine institution. All other organizations are of men, and bear tbe marks of mutability and decay incident to their aniborship: but this kingdom was set up by the God of heaven, is governed by his laws, and sustained by his om-nipotent arm. and shall stand forever. It is pecu-liar as being separate from, and independent of the world. All human institutions are by affi:iity uni-ted with the world, and are to be governed by its laws; but this Divine institution, this kingdom of God, this christian (ekklesia) church, has been call-ed oat from the great mass of humanity, separated frcm the world, and is bound by the worlu'd laws, only 80 far as they accord with, and are subordini t : to the laws of henvea. It is independent of the worid, and cannot be advanced by carnal weapons, power or influence, "but by the preaching of the gospel with the Hdy Spirit sent down from heaven.' Nor can the powers of earth or hdl destroy it; "for it shall stand forever." Even death and the grave shall not be able to overcome it; because sustained by the energy of its divine bead. It is bnilt upon the rock, Christ: asd the gates of Hades shaU not prevail agaiust it-''

l is separation from the world, by Divine power and its distinctness from the wurld by t ie peculiar laws which Gud has given it, mokes the christian church an object of nonce, and attraction to tbe world. Like asubhme tower standing in a desert; whilst its independence of the world gives evidence to man of another state, of an immortal economy with higher laws than earth obeys; and hke the beautiful and misterious bow, with which the Al-mighty hand hath spanned the heavens, holds out to a nn-Etricken race, the promise of Divine favor.

The peculiar nature of an evangdical or christian church,* ia also visible in its essential and invariable elements. Among which the first, and probably tha most prominent is f^uth.

"Go ye, therefor* and desdple (tnatheteu.sate) all nations, baptizing them,"' i o . ' He that belieielh and is baptized shall be saved. Ue that beltevelh not shall be damned." A dncere and heart felt be-lief of the cardinal tmths of the gospel, "that Je-sns is the Christ, the son of God " That he -died and rose again." That he ever liveth as mediator between God and man, by whom we must be saved. A btlief of these great tmths is essential to the ex-istence of a church. For without this it cannot be evangelical even according to the etimology of that term.

Hence it follows as a fact settled by the plain dec-larations of the gospel, that none but genera ted persons can be true members, or component parts of an evangelical chuiTdi. For "the natural roan receiveth not the things of the spirit of God, neith-er can he know them, hecatise they are spiritually discerned." "Except a man "be bom of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." It ia also plain that infants caniwt be mem-bers of a church, for th<7 _are naturally iiicapable

of eierdsing Caith in Christ. They cannot bo be-liever-i For "faith cometh by bearing, and heap-ing by the word of Goi."

Tbe advocates of infirat memhetship, most eith-er add to tbe commisiioa Trtiich was given aa an in-variable law, hy the great hesi of the church, o» they must make their infants tsa^ble, before th«y can be members of the charch oi CLdst.

2. Love is another egscDtial element in aa ena -gilicalchnrch. Oodislore. ThU is an mhCTvnt prindple of the Divine xiatore. And the body mcst partake of the same nature of its head. "For he that IS joined onto the Lord is one spirit" There moat be supreme lor* » God. For "thoa dialt lore the Cord thy God, '«with i ll thy heart.'aai with all thy soul, and with aU thy jEind" This is the first and gr«t commandment.

There must also be love amonj the mem'beTa, one to another. ' He who loveth God, loveth his breth-ren also.' And if we love one another, God dwell eth in us, and his love i£ perfected in ns." And by this we know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love tha brethren.''

Hwice again, they who hare not love to God and to their brethren, cannofr be tme mem'bers of an evargellcal or christian dinni .

3. Baptism * is also an essential dement in tbe visiWe existence of a christian church.

Icdiriduals may be christians, and yet tmboptiz-ed persons; but they cannot ba members of « viaa-ble christian chnrch without baptism.

Baptism is not absolutely essential to salvation, but it is absolutely essential to church membership. This truth is made apparent by the form and Ian. gnage of the commission of the great law giver to his Apostles and chnrch. 'When on Olivit's hallowed mount, he bade them farwell, and authorized them to act in his name, and as his body, until he came again. ' Go ye, therefore, and disciple all nstions, baptiring them in the name of tha Father, aad of the Son, and of tbe Holy Spirit, tpachmg them to (observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you," Sc.

Hen?!! they were to be converted by tbe faith of the grospcl; then they were to be baptized, to initi-ate them into the chnrch; and afterwards they were to be taught to observe all the doctrines and duties of the chriiotan life. ^

Again, our Lord represents a rejeriinn of baptism as a rejection of the coundl of God, or Christianity. •But the Pharisees and lawyears rejected the coun-

cil of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. ' Luke vii' 30.

Now the scriptures of Divine truth, represent Christ as the head, and only law-giver of the charch. And Af has thus pointed out the essentials, and rn-acted a positive law for the government of his kingdom; and no other person or persons, have any nght to add to, take away from, or in any-wise change them. Ce is the only king in Zion; and no other king, or pope, or Bishop, can alter amend, or abrogate bia laws, without presumpbously assum-ing the prerosative of Dtity, "and like the son, of Perdition, sit in the temple of God, showing himself that ha is God:"

That Baptism is an essential element in a chris-tian chnrch. is made evident, in the second place, by the teaching, and examples of Chnst and his Aposiles, acting under authority of the commis-sion.

On the day of Pentaccet, when those who were "pricked in their hearts," asked, "what shall we do'" Peter answered -'rfpent and lie baptized, ev-ery one of you, in the nama of Jesus Chriat-'' And Paul in his argument to the Galatian Church, on the subject of justification, after telling them that they were the children God, by faith in Christ Je-sus, emphatically declares, many of you as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ-" The practice of the Apostles agreed wiih their doctrines on this £ub;ect. For on the day of Pentecost they • that gladly received Peter's word, or tbe doctrine which he preached, were baptued, and added to the apostolic church, and continued steadfasily in tbe Apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread and prayers." The Samaritans also, when they bchevcd Philip, preaching the things concern-ing the kingdom of God, and tbe name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. The jailor and his family were baptized forthwith upon their profesaons of faith. And so universally in the acts of the Apostles, those who made a pro-fession of faith, were baptized.

Thus, showing conclusively, that the Apos'Jes, at least, thus construed this obligation of their com-misnon; and regarded baptism as essential to church membership.

In the third place; the institution or design of bap-tism, make* plain the fact under consderatinn.

The general design of baptism, is represented by the scriptures, to be a solemn public and practical profession of christiani^. Thus Paul sums np the baptism of John, saying, " John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, fflying unto the people, that they should believg on him which should come after him. that is on Christ Jesus." It is de-signed also, particularly to represent the christians' faith in the doctrine of the trinity; for it is to be administered only in the-name of tbe Farther, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. To represent their adoption by the Fathei, Gal- Bi, 2T, 28. 29 Their union to the Son, CoL ii, 11, 12. And s-mti-ficatioa by the HolySpirt, Acts, ii, 3S—i, 47, 48

Tt is also designed as a pubbc pledge of the re-nundition and remission of sins, Mari, 1, 44: Acts. ii, 38: and it is the expression of the christians hope of a further, a^d gloriouB re jurection. "Therefore tt'c are buried with him by baptism, unto death: that l=ke as Christ was raised up from the df ad by the glory of the father, evenso we also should walk in newness of life. For if wa have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall lie also in the likeness of his resnrectiflD." And last-ly, baptism is a v i a l ^ bwdof smon among christ-ians. "For by OAS. spirit ar« we »U baptized into one body, whether « be Jevs or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free-' - 'Thm i s one body, and one spirit, even as ye are called, in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one (aith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in yoa all."

The condnaon arrived at I 7 ^he fi>regon«»iB»-ments, is thir That an erangdjcal or d a l i a u church is, in its natnre aad organizatian Dirin^ ao assembly or number of nsmerstEd psBaa%~e«Dsd out or separated frtffl the world of in«nhJad,-hy • pjspd Both,« goipd fcfB, and a gaq>d h ^ C o a , and united bysmutual, vulontaiyeofBiantjtoIiT* for Christ, and to act in «aordaoes with ^ - ' i c i n -dplee and commandments contained is the' IcziiK tures. ^

Now if these arguments aad deflcitinns are cor-rect aad saiptural, then it follows as a conieqtunoe that only those who a.-e orgaaiisd Strictly on then prindples, aad in exact accordance with the lawi of C h ^ aad bearing ia their body the etiential aad unvoting dements of this character, are troly evangelical or christiaa churches.

It is plain, alw, that those orsacizations, profiss-e31y chris ian,that have been built upon other found-ation, than that of the Apostles and Prophstl, Jesoi Christ himself beinC the chief corner-stone, that stand upon the trad t ons of men, iziitesd of th* pla'm commandE of Gcid, that acknowledge u head Lf the church, any other than Christ, and that bow to the sceptre, or obey th-; mandates of any other ruler, whether he be King, Pope, Prelate or Bishop, caimot be idcntifiL'd as evangelical diurchcs.

And, now, having ascertained the nature, and the cssentLd and unvarying dements of a Chrijtian church, the second subject of inquiry, is, aa to its form of govermnrait, accjrdiag to the Iffiptures of Divine truth.

Let i 11 v liorm in mind, I hit the £bIlDwii% temaikl are in reference to the chnrch in its individual char-ter as a church, or a local organization. For as has b ^ remarked ia the beginning of this Easay, the word church or ekiiesia, is used in the scriptur-es a^iiaving a gcineral meaning, aa the whole king-dom nf Christ »a earth; and also ia a Fpecial sense, or indifi-iual chiracier, as the church at Jerusalem, £c. Oar Lord himself, made a p'jua answer to this inqniry, when he Kaid, • Be not ye calied Babbi: for one 13 your master, even Cliria^ and all ye are brethren. And call ao man yoni father upon the earth; for one is your father which is in htarea. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your mas-ter, even Christ. Bat he that is greatest among you, shall be jour servant." In this paoage a plain and impartial rule is markid oat t a the gov-ernment of a «burch, by tlie great head himiElf. I t is to have no master save Christ; no father bnt God. None of its members are to claim superioiity over others; to assume the power of dictation, to be masters, or lord it over their brethren. Bat lU a n to be equal in their rights, aad as brethren indeed; havmg tme fa'her, one hope, one iaterest, one inher-itaace. According to this plain, scriptural law, there can be no Pope or huly fatiier on earth, hav-ing the paternity and right to nil^ and lord i t over the church of Ctirist; indulging and anathamatising wlmm he will. According to this law, there can be no king or qneea, claiming to be tbe supreme head of the churcii, with the right to control itl actions, to appoint its officers, and dispose of its benfidaries. According to this plain and positive law, there can be CO Episcopal Bishops, to dicmte to the church: and to control its spiritcol and temporal afaiis, to make laws to govern its members 111 their individ-ual, as well as temporal relations, and ia the char-acter of Rabbis, to wy 10 this one, go tlien, and to that one come here. But on the ijoatraiy, "he that is greaUMi among you. simll bt your servant." From this authority then, the cmduiian foUowl, that a church is a free community, with equal rights and privileges.

Again, in the eighteenth chapter of theguipd hf MaUhew. Jesus leaches his di.sdples the same doc-trine (of the equahty and sovereignty of tbe chnrch) in the deeply mieresting and beautiful discomse he ddivered to them, in answer to their question of •'who is tbe pnatest in the kingdom of hearan?" He taught them that they should se innocent harm-leHS, una.ssumin;;, humble as a child; and that inch should be greatest in the kingdom of heaven. He also taught them that they should be forbearing, and prudent: aad when one trespassed igointf la -other. tho offiOidcd party was to go to the oflisader, and endeavor to bring him to reason, and > right lense of feding; but if the ollanding bnj tho •would not hear him nor other brethren, ihen he WM to go and tell it: where? to whom? Not to a ojnference of Dders or Bishops, not to a presbytery or synod, but to fft» chiirch. And if lie would not be«r tho chtnrh, then be was to be as an heathen and •pub-lican.

Here it is plainly taught that the chnrch i l the ultimate authority, the supreme tribunal; and that the individual rights "f its members are to he re-spected. Again, the form of a chnrch govenimcnt may be learned, in the second place, frtrin the re-corded facts, that the inspired Apostles ' i n j ^ the primitive churches to relect thdr own 0 Jaerig ind those chnrches did exercise tliat prsrogatiTe," Act», vi: 3. That those olE-.ers were made responaUe to the church fir a proper dischargii tiT the dntici, 1st John iv, 1: Rev. ii, 2, 7.

I'HOF. LYND AND CiMPBELLISM

0 3 " We h a T B remred a copy of the Mimites of B.«eoiei»l Merlins" held with the churdi at Big Bpmg^ Henri Cfaim^, GeoiEia. The boancES m-ftji-^i^ in the Minute was of purely a local and in-(jjeotai character, and an account of gi<od and cf-IhitiBi pmching. The first quejy n a s aaswered i a a liiigiilar manner. The qaeiy was this:

u j i i t Baptirt usage to admit a member who holds a b t e of tisnriaaon to make a motion^ or second a f l i n t y or TCte in the chmch from which he ob-tsoed mid letter T "

We imdeistaiid that he has not remoTed bis membendrip—but simpiy obtained a letter prepara-tBtjta aiemoral.

"We dionld deride that Evsai member, of any giieu cinmh, has an inalienable right tu make, or ir*"!^ a motion, or rote upon any qnestion. This 00 ODB win deny. We also should decide that no a m or wtmian ceases to be a member, though he or d s m ^ hare a dozen ' le t ters of commcnda-t i a ^ mitil thg- are -umted with another church rf the aune faith and order." Therefore a brother fcaldins a letter is, to all intents and pnrpo^ics, as Bmch a member of that church from which he rc-eeired it, as he was before he asked for a letter • ad as much bound to discharge all his duties to that ehuich, to attend its meedngs and support its paatnr^cnd he is as subject to the discipline of thai riinrrh as he was before: for he is a member of thai chmch niThr lie joins another.

What does hia letter Eay :

"Thia.cartifies that brother A. B. w a member Withna, in full fellowship, and is dismissal from tis vkcn [and not before] joined to anolhcr chorch of the Hme (kith and onier."

A chmch letter only states that the perscn hold-ing it is a member of same churd!,: nothing more or

If i t is a Baptist usage to release a brother from nhmch dnty, obligation and discipline while he is rtill a member, i t is not only very bad but vei^-acacnptural usage.

Day uf Tlianksgiving in all our Chnrchcs.

TTTE hsTB just read a letter from Bro. Stackhouse, TI SDssisappi, suggesting the propriety of all

otir churches in the Southwest observing a day of thanksgiving and prayer, before the close of the year—a day specially set apart for the mention of mamfold mennes of our Heavenly Father, that bavu Qowned the year, in the abundant harvests voach-Bifed to the land a n i l l i i blessings upon the church-es.

Appropos to this, we wuuld annuuni^c tl«it th« AsaocaMaTLo! Middle Tennessee and North,

at its last session, recommentlcd toall tbe chniches within its bounds to observe the fbartli Bahbath of December, (the resolution reads the last Sabbath in December, but as we offi-Tcd it, we hope we may be allowed to change it to the fourth. m we find there are five Sabbaths in December,) as s day of special thank^v ing to almighty God

Wdl not all the churches in Tennessee, and the Southwest unite with us upon this day, and let one TOinroB of thanksgiving ascend the Hill of God fi^m the AUeghaniea to the Bio Grande. Songs of praise and prayers of thanksgiving, arc doe fiDm the in-liahitantB of the whole land, and all should be call-i d upon to bear record "that God is good, and his m e c y endnreth forcver." I.eC each church that is viOins to do so, act upen the matter at its next meeting, and call upon its pastors, or if it is not a ngolar meeting, engage some other preacher to pnaeh a sermon appropriate to the occasion.

\ 310NQ many things nnpleaanl , connected with A our Editorial labors, there are some t t o g s so pleiiiing as to far outweigh them. I t was" by no means agreable to us in calling in ^luestion, as we did. Prof. Lynd-s enlorSement of Mr. ^ P , ^ " ® views, as recently expreesed'. T t o u ^ Bro. Lynd is our Seinor by many years. » P " ™ ' n e u t position in .he denominatioD, and l^fore the world -devoted to aprofcssion whwh would warrant as in tbe conclusion that ho was as all our prominent religious tcachers, and espcdally professors of Theol-ogy should be-thoroughly read and fully posted up apmf an the new-forms of reBgious faith that are encroaching upon the domain orthdoxy—wc say notwithstanding all this, we felt it our imperative datf to expostulate with him and repudiate such an mdiJiiEmcnt, calculated as it was, to extend the influence of a dangerous system at the expense of truth.

But we are repaid for all the unpleasantness ex-perienced from the discharge of that dnty, by the the manifest fruits that have already resulted from it. - Prof. Lynd has evidently seen his error, and has adopted an expedient to corrcct it. Though be has not seen fit to acccpt of the Tennessee Baptist a-j a mciEum through which to do it, yet we will chcerlblly excuse him upon the ground that ho doubtless misapprehmds the true state of our feel-ings towards him.

I t matters not ahair 's worth to us in what in^ans he makes the correction, wc have only desired the correction to be made.

In the New YorkExammer, of October ISth, we find Bro. Lynd's first confession, of which we give him fuU benefit. Here it is:

" In a review of Dr. Jeter 's work on Campbcllism I observed that, ' ^ i t h Mr. Campbell's views as for-merly expressed, we have no sympathy, but his Tiews as recently expressed, arc in conformity with our own." Sometima after this appeared, I was called upon by tho Editor of the Tennesse Baptist to e.tplaia this l a n u g o . I responded to the call bo showing, tha t -Tiy his views as recently express-ed." I alluded to his confession of Faith, published in 1(446, and his language upon the influence of the Holy Spirit, in His debate with Dr. Rice, both of which I quoted. Any man may euilorse those views, without being justly charged with error. At the time 1 wrote tliis short notice of Dr- J e t e r s work, I vra.s under the impression that both the Confcsrion of Mr. Campbell, and the debate with Ur Kice, were more recent than I afterwards found them to ba. I had not looked into three numbers of the MiHenial Harbinger for more than twelve years, and I suppoBed from the Confession and the debate, that Mr. Campbell had changed his views, as the ordinary constroction of the language, jusUtied nic in snpposing."

We are confirmeil in the behef that every Bap-tist who has been betrayed into the end'-Tsement of Campbellism, has been led to do so like Prof, l.ynd. through ignorance of the teachings of Campbcllism, Such ignorancc is not justifiable in the teachers of Israel, but it is pardonable, where confessed.

But Prof. Lyud goes further. In the Recorder of the Tth inst., he addresses a letter to "Mr. Camp-bell," in which he frankly confesses his er.-or, in supposing that Mr. Camptwil had changed his views within the last ten years, or that his view.-;, as re-ently e x p r e s s , are evangelical. This is wor hy of Bro. Lynd.

Bro. Lynd also, has become fully awakenedto the fact that Mr. Campbell's proclaimers, are using tho pre.scnt position of the leaders of RevisiuU; and Prof. Lynds's endorsement, to their own advantage for he .s.iys: "the report daily comes to my ears, that they claim to have the endorsement of their doctrincs, by the leading Baptists in the Revision enterprise, and tliat I hare fally cuiLscnted tu the correctness of their views."

But the folluwing is truly refreshing; couiing a,s it dees, from the Presidei^ of the Revision .\.ssi)ci-ilinn, and wc hope it will be heard distinctly in the city of New York—

I TNIXK TRFT, [Campbcll i le preachers] n .wE ux-liE-SEUOrsLY IJKEX ADV.\ TiGK OF OUR CIIBI3T1AN C'lLRiEsr, [i. e. the courtesy uf Revisionists,] TI) BUII.D UP THE RKFOUMiTlOX."' '

This is a sad fact, and a fact that we have been declaring, iterating and reiterating, in the ears of the leaders of the Revision movement, for the past three years—but it has seemed that they could tiot be made to sec hghtning, or hear thunder, until just now—but have been dcterminel to put down our unwillingness for this advantage to be taken of our courtesy, to obstinate perverseness, and to fruwn us down as in heart opposed to Revision. We are. ai last, thank God, after being misjudged and mis-represented for full three years, fully vindicated be-fore the public! We Iiave, from the beginning maintained tliat Mr. Campbell has not changed— and since the Slemphis Convention, have declared that Mr. Campbell and his followers, were ungener-ously taking advantage of our courtesy to build up the reformation, and besought the aid of a warning voice from the leaders of Revision to protest against such unfair treatment.

So far as the Kevision -Vssodation is concerned, it has now spoken out, through its President, and we rejoice greatly. Wo have long since lost all our faith and interest in the present Rrevision movement, but again hope reviYes, and the hori-zon brightens with better promises. Would the President of the Bible Union, and the Now York Chronicle, the accredited organ of the party, bat take the same ground with the President of the Re-vision Association (and they ought to do it) we would at once giro our fears to t ^ winds, and declare the enterprise invincible and triumphant. I t would se-cure to Bevisioa thousands and tens of thousands of advocates among Baptists and Pedobaptists it

I am perfectly satisfied that the Baptists' in or i out of this enterprise, have hot departed from their i distinguishing and cherished views of devine truth, ^"B'l'aDy sigmd by tliem and if there is now any greater harmony of senti- | i f^ " " ment between them and the Reformers, it must be ' " upon the presumption, that the latter have changed. ! So far as you arc concerned, I honestly believed. I from the Debate, and your .Articles of Faiih, tliat a change had occured in your mind, particularly m re ; spect to Justification and the inlluence of the Spirit. , I do not, however, consider it necessary that cither party should have changed, in order to cordial co operation in tlie work of giving a pure Bible to th,j world. Nor do I conceive it necessary to the de-fense or promulgation of our separate views, that of-fensive crimination and recrimination should I'e em-ployed. Our differences may certainly be disciio.seii in the Chri.stian spirit. If there i.-; no i ealdifii reiicf. no difference, that, in the view of either, afllcts car-dinal doclrine-s, I see not why we sliould not ami to be one people. If .such dilVerence does exist' then it ought to be fairly understood, po that the causco of irritation referred to may be arrested' and yet allow us to work harinoniotLJy in the accomplish-ment of our cheiished object —a pure Bible for the world.

We strike out Bro. Ljnd's endorsement of Mr. Campbells Tiews,that has BO long stood at the head of our columns, and give the largest possible circulation to the correction. We again assure Bro.

We give Prof. Lynd's first letter to Mr. C. and can attention to the fact that he addresses him as "Mr. Campbell:" which is as it should he;

Jla. ALnufDER CAjtPBiLii—Dtor Sir:—Engaj ed in the same great work of grring pure versions of the Scriptures, mwiy have expressed their fears that the Baptists and Befonners, co-laborers iri this great enterprise, night firom a union as churches, without regard to the distinctive principles of "the iormer. On this ground I have never had any fears. Neither the Baptists nor the Befwrners, as honest mm, attached to what they believe tho truth, could desir* union, cxcept on the principle of both, par-ties lioIdzQg the doctrincs as t h ^ were deUvered hy insfrired men. "With others of my brethren engaged in the revision enterprise, I have felt it to be right, on an t>ccassns, to treat yourself and those of your sentimentB with Chnstian courtesy. As far as we could agree upon the tcacUng of the New Testa-ment, I have legaided it as a part of my religions d n ^ t o g o w i t h y o n , and not only with you, bat wi& aa deoaminations of Christians.

RE C E I P T S TOR THE TRI-E UMU.V since J u l y 2lnh lt>.55.—We have pubUshed no list of payments

for several months, principally because they were so few. As will be seen from the annexed list we have received but the paltry sum of one hn Ired and ninetc-.n dollars and thirty-five cents dur, -he past three month.s, while we have paid out li ing that time, more than four hundredand ff/'fi; We shall .send out bills this week to all our .sub-scribers who receive the paper by mall. and who have not yet paid for the present year. As wc are very desirous of having all bills settled np immedi-ately, we make this proposition. Our publi.shed terms aro two dollars and fifty ceuts per annum, with a discount of lit) per cent to all who pay be fore -ix montlis from the commencement of the year.- Bat will allow the discount of 20 per ccnl to all who pay theu-bdls before December first: after that time wc shall charge the full amount, s 2 OD against all in arrears. Pay at once and sovo fifty cents.

O.VE WOat) MORE.

We would add for the info-Tintion of our readers that our receipts for the Tcnn'--,ee Baptist danng the past year, have not rn'-i-rcd its positire erpenses'

Our expenses are over two hundred dollars per week for paper and work alone, allowing nothing for our families.

The year has been hard, money scnrce. We have deeply sympathized with oar patrons. We have waited patiently, have wi not? We were confident that our subscribers would remember us so .soon as it went well with them. The times have now changed for the better—tho wheat and com are lie-ing sold a t handsome price.s, and cotton is going to market at fair rates, money is bound to be plenty, and now will not our kind friends who know them-selves to be in arrears for their paper remember US'? We wish te pay all our debts this fall, and add an-other press to onr ofBco, that we may publish our books at home.

Remember the terms of this paper are three dol-lars at the end of the year. You can easily save a dollar. AU who will send up their arrearages by Christmas next, shall be charged only t\ro dollars, the adrance price.

We can't settle any man's account that has run for one or more years, and pay an agent to go aftei it for two dollars.

Come, dear friend,s, come up like frieuds and brethren, and pay up your Editor, that he may pay the money-hungry crowd that furnish paper, and work for the Baptist. Come, brethren, and square up, and lift as fifty feet out of the water at once Yon can do it before Christmas, and what a merry Christmas it will be to us! Y'ou will not only make OS happy, and enable us to add another press to publish Baptist books upon, but you will save one dollar for every year you are in arrears. You vrill thus do good, and get good, and feel good and happy to think your Editor is paid up.

A PBEACHEB WASTED.—Scaled proposals will be received by Gideon Smith, Bonham Texas, until •he first of January, for imploying a preachcr, to preach in the destitute portions of Ss ter Grove Association. Labors to commence as early as by March, next — One who wotJd make a permanant home among n.-, would be prefered. None need apply who cannot bring recommendations of undoubted qualifications, necessary to the success of a missionary in a thin and newly settled country^ qualified to advancc and maintain baptist sentiments to a people who are generally disposed to receive the trnth; but amongst whom are a few of unlimited prejudices. An agen-cy for a denominational hook or tract, distribution m i ^ t be advantageoudy connected with the same. Address, Bonham Famun Ooonty, Texas.

This brother t i raves r e a d d y ad-Uiits, was a p remature announcement . Ho showed tliat the work was not i.ssued. until it had lieen ap-[irevcii.

Broilier J o n i s .ilso ramplained, t ha t b ro ther t iraves, m an article in tlie AV'estem Reconler sta-ted, tha t no t raci or l)ook had been presented to the Publicat ion Society for i ts adopt ion, since the Soc.oty first wen t into operation, whereas the re-conU of the .SDcioty show t h a t it d id approve sorao t ia i Is. and • .Slack s Keasons ." Bro ther Graves re-plied. that the Society. 1 let. 0. 1^48, granted him the permission to prepare an .Almanac and Regis-er. as the records will show, which he did, b u t i t s m.ti ter was not submi t ted to t h e Society prior to publication. B u t the f i rs t Publicat ion Board of the ijetieral Association, to co-operate wi th the Society, was not appointed until the 21st , or 24th following, which the minu tes of the General .Vssociatioa will show, also, t ha t he did not consider t ha t the Society iiad gone into full operation, unt i l the a t tachment of this Board. He also rephed, t ha t ' S lacks reason.s wa,s approved by tlie Publicat ion Board, the m a t t e r of i t never having been examined or approved by the Society, and no record of such a fact anpcar ing upon the records of the Society. ' '

Brother ( i raves hav ing lieen invited to s tate any grounds of complaint a^-ainst brother Jones pr.i-ceeded to remark:

First , T h a t at the General Association, mee ing in Winches ter , Oct. , 1854, b ro ther J o n e s had as-sailed h is charac te r a n d conduct in s t rong teni . s ins tead of pr ivate ly seeking to reclaim him in any wrong of which he supposed him gui l ty , and of br inging the case, in accordance wi th gospel princi-ples, before tho church of which they were mem-bers. To which bro ther J o n e s replicl, t h a t he had conversed With brother Graves on one of the ijiies-tions of ditl icnlty, a n d had requested o thers tu do so—tha t he had wished to avoid any public refer-ence to the sub jec t , and considered it as forced upon hnn—and . moreover, tha t he had not regarded i t so m u c h a private and personal mat te r , b u t a s one i£> volving the general in teres ts of the denominat ion.

Brother Ciraves a l to compl.iined, t h a t a f t e r the above named assaul t , when he had manifes ted a di.spositiun to be f r iendly , fiWther J o n e s had refu-sed bi.i hand, and t a d ever sincc declined the usual courtesies which were d u e to h im, as a m a n , and a chris t ian. Brother J o n e s admi t ted , t h a t he ^ f rankly expres.sed his w a n t of confidence in h i s gen-eral m a n n e r and bear ing towards brother Graves.

In the third and fourth items of grievance, bro-ther Graves complained that brother Jones had, "at h line and abroad,'' sought to injure his character, by intimating that he was guilty of falsehood, and that his membership in the church was perpetuated through policy-and, all this, notwithstanding his defence before the meetmg of the General Associa-tion at Winchester: brotlier Graves thus considered that brother Jones had exhibited a spirit not con-sistent with the character of a christian man. To all which brother Jones responded by re-affirmmg tht- fact, that he had lieen wanting in coiifidencc, anil had so, fearlessly, and publicly cxpres«e4.|am-self, and that nothing would be gained by d e l u -sion from the chiiroh, a.s intimations had been given that he would be receited elsewhere.

The Committee have unaffbcted pleasure, in sta-ting that after thij'/uZZ and free expression of all the points of grievance, and aa examination of all the evidence furnished on both sides, the brethren made sundry concessions, mutually alledging that they were p r tpHwHarece i re certain explanations

other que ry , I s another paper needed! Yours respecrful ly ,

\ ua demand proof." I refuse to the imperious demand iinlil you adduce proof of wha t 1 still con-sider as an unfouiiued and most uiualUd for asser-tion. HZ, that -according to the doctr ine of some of onr bre thren , (Uld Landmark men,) - t h i s is all wrong, ' ( tha t is, wha t was repor ted in an art icle which you copied f rom the N. 0 . Creole.) or, which will amoun t to the same thing, unti l you prove tha t ' some of our brethren"" (Old Landmark men) have denied the right of l aymembers , 1. To speak free-ly in thei r church conjerences, whe the r those confe-rences be called for busmcss or for mutual religious improvement, or, 2. To t-isi( and administer the con-solations of the Go.spel to the poor, the sick, the afflicteil, or o thers needing the same; or, S. To com-municalc, at their discretion, the i r v iews of rehgious t ru th , in thei r social intercourse wi th thei r fellow-men'.*"

When you furnish the pi-oof which 1 very res-pectfully "requested" of you, I will furnish that which you so magistenally -demand" of me, upon condition ontii, that, if the proof adduced by either party be deemed insufficient by the other, it be sub-mitted to three or more dis-interested and compe-tent gentlemen of the bar, to decide whether it is sufficient, according to the most approved laws of evidence, to justify the assertions made by us sev-erally.

I insist on this condition, because, 1, The perso-nal Bbii.se heaped upon myself and others, in your paper of the 5th of April, and never retracted, pre-clude the possibihty of contesting any point with you in your columns witli any proper degree of self rcspect; and, 2. Because you have n^lectcd in more than one instance, t to correct erroneous rep-resentations made by yon, when pointed out by me.

.\ll of which is .submitted respectfully—not in-ger, but with dc-p regret that there should be even an apparent collision between us, and with very high and unabated personal esteem for yourself, knowing that "to err is human." j . s. B.

On the 16th of Septtmber, l-Soo. my son (Griflin Wright) aged S years, while traveling a small path, near a creek was bitten by a Copperhead snake. He immediately notified a younger brother, who was behind him, of the snake, and then repaired to an open place—and after squeezing out a drop of the poison, (as he supposed) sucked and squeezed the parts for some time, and then hastened home, being near a half mile distant. His mother, (1 being absent) bound a poultice of tobacco, thorough-ly wet, to the wound, and gave him a tea cup, two tlurds full, of Madeira wme, with a table sjioonfull of p u l v e i ^ d Cayenne pepper, well mixed, in two portions.—The first immediately after it was pre-pared; and the other, in half an hour thereafter. The pain he -was laboring tmder ceased immediately after taking the last portion. The leg on which he was bitten, was much swollen the next day. and too sore to walk upon; but the ttiird day, he walk-ed about well, and as cheerful as ever.

We deem it advisable to give this case to the pubhc, inasmuch as others may meet with the like misfortune. And the remedy is so plain and sim-ple, and shows the great necessity for immediate action when on*is bitten, Mid the good effict of squeeiing the parts: it will not only force a portion of the poisM out, bu t holds it in check untU it can be sucked out; and the compression of the capillaiy vesBds win prevent the poison from passing mto the larger blood vessels.

f a : Tenui-,:.-*. Uii.t BI Brother I'rutl lately come out in the Western

Recorder on Baptists and Campbellites uaitini.— (iood Brother Pratt, but yon ought to have spoken out before. 'What you say about Revision 1 cannot indorse so well, but w'nat you say about Campbel-li.sm aud the union of Baptists and CampbeUites is just to the point is just what the times demand.— -\nd it is gratifying to Baptists in Western Ken-tucky to learn that there is yet, some elements in the cji-jis of editors of the Recorder, that will cre-ate a savory inflncnce. ' S.'' is giving the same ism, some severe thrusts in his review of '"irchard's History: and his great zeal to oppose the circulatioB of ihat book, may be the means of bringing him out straight also. If it shonid, the Recorder cay be safe yet. But if the Recorder is to be devoted to the circulation of the, Pedo and Camphdiitis, sentiments of Dr. Evens and I.ynd. its influents will certainly crippled in this part of the State. The silence of the Recorder in respect to the state-ments madp by. Mr. Campbell and his satellites, all over the coantiy. that Dr. Waller, before his death embraced the peculiar views of Mr. C. bi£ already done much injury to the cause of t n A — If the Ei-corder had, at first taken a bold and EB-shakcn stand for the whole truth (baptist doctrinc) Brother Pratt would not now have to compUin <i some of onr ministers (distmgnished ministns) sitting down at Campbellite communion tabled an^ thereby saying that all CampbelUtes are tajfin^ into the church, and have a right to come to our communion table. If there is no neutral grocni between, Old Landmark ism, and, admittmg fhati Pedo and Campjljelhte societies are churches, thai let all baptist be Landmark men. There are sis* Baptists while they agree vrith the Old Landmailt the mane, cannot adopt it in toto. But if we,«» to affiliate with Pedobaptists and CampbdlitS, 1 we are to commune with them on any and evaj occasion, or be Landmark men, then let US li^ Landmark now and Landmark forever. I hoj* the day will never come, when Baptists will so®' themselves to be '-hugged to death." Now is fi" time when men's hearts will be tried. Men . stand firm to the truth when persecuted, but *h® wooed and caressed t h ^ are apt to gire let error triumph. Let every Baptist speak w ' l and let his position be known. The times denaad that every baptist nnnister, especially, in KentadT should speak oat and let his position be fcnoWBi whether he is for the truth, the -whole troth, nothing ba t the truth, or whether he is fijr compw m i s n s t ruth with error. .i. .

The Ism of Pedokm Developed..

NO. 1 2

r r o t c M a r JE. A i l k i a i .

A pamphlet has been placed in my hands entitled "A Isarrative of Facts and Proceedings connected with the reccnt charges in the Facnitv of aur tkE" Cdlege."'

A • prefatory note, -iuiicatcs that Prcf. Adkins has prepared this ••Narrative.'"" In reading the pamphlet 1 have been painfully convinced that Jesuitism is not confined to Eaman Catholics. Alas, that any man should believe -the end sanctifies tlie means." The daplidty. displayed by certain men in their tSbrts to get Prof. Adkins o-at of the -Fac-ulty"' is fcgastiEg. The Itand that wrote the let-ter aviaing what was called a - ' v o l c m t a i T cnidtis-ion" on the point of Prof. A. for the good of the CoIlegE ought to be used, while one moon waies and wanes, in wiping penitential tears from the eyes of the wri;er. ^VTiat arc we coming to! Do profes3-ed christians believe that the eye of God does not see hypocrisy, and that there will be no judgmmt dav?

I hesitate not to espreas the opinion that Profcs-airs Adkins and Bulkier were put out of the Fac-ulty because they were Bible I aion men. It was pitiful and contemptible tu displace them for such a cause. AVhat have man"s Reviiiou sentiments to do with his competency to till a chair ia a College Faodty? IIow true it is tliat -men are but chil-dren of a larger growth!"' There seem to be some such chCdren in Illinois. j . m. p.

FOR a few years I have been gixdually approxi-mating the conclusian that within the pall of

Pedoism, there existed tha same spirit of perse-cution and desire for worldly power, that has ever characterized its Grand-mother; "The mother of harlots and abominations of the world,"' And all that has prevented this brotherhood from persuing the same i vTi ina ica l course, unsheathing the sword of carnage and death, and driidsing the blood of the faithful, has been the want of power. I am now folly satisfied, that had this fraternity the pow-er to back them, this same persecuting spirit would develop itself in all its horid forms. Their bitter, undying hatred to the Baptists; the innumerable efitirts to blot from existence the Baptist church; to cripple her etfort'sto stop her onward progress; blast the character of her ministers, and thus canse the beautiful banner of our king to trail in the dost and kmentation and mourning, to come forth from the bosom of our beloved Zion, all, all go to strengthen this conclusion, and develop this fact.

Sjme few Sabbaths since, this spirit was partly maaifisted upon ' he part the Pedobaptists. On the occasion alluded to, the first Sabbath in August, at L'nion Church, eight miles west from Searcy, I had some three or four persons to baptize, two young ladies, members of Pedo families, stood ready for baptism. "When, lo! as I approached tho water, I learned that the aforesaid ladies, had h<xa positii eiy

and emphatically forbidden baptism by their rela-tives ! I And though they stood at the water s edge during the administration of the ordinance, with tears streaming down their cheeks, yet they dared not obey their Savior, while the strong arm of Pedo-ism was raised over them, forbidding their obedience to God ! These, together with some other matters which have recently transpired, (of which I cannot here spt-ak.) e-xhibit fearfully, the spirit of anti-Christ. that has for many years remained smother-ed up within the bosom of Pedoism, only waiting, and aa.xiously locking forward to the hour, when they should be able to let it burst in all its force upon the head of those abominable Baptists.

It has betm our lot to see many tilings fortunate and unfortunate from the pens of our brethren in controverting Campbellisn, but if we ever saw any-thing more amazingly tingular and unfortunate dan Elder Sears, Reply to A. Campbell's notice of one of his articles in the Recorder, wc have long since forgotten it.

It is known to every Baptist that as a denomi-nation we have ever held that among other things baptism is -a sign of remisaon." i. e. on the part of the subject a declaration of bias runitted. and a public rEnunc'ation a putting away of sin—in opposition to the creed of Rome and Bethany, that ains are actually remittal and pardoned in the act of baptism.

Elder Sears ia the Eccurder of I'ctobtr ol, if we understand him finds no more fault with Jlr. Campbells views of the design of baptism thaa ha does with those tangh: by Methodists Presby-terians or Baptists! He Jcclares. if his language conveys any meaning that Baptists teach the same doctrine with 3Ir. Campbell.

"We quote enough to place hi:n fully befurc our readers,

'•If we nnderstand him [Jlr. Campbell] correctly we hare no more objectioa to Iiis views upon the point to whidi we now rtfar, thaa we have to the same views as advocated in the creeds c f the Methodists and ftpbyteriana. Nor can we feel a more .serious oijsction ta them when advocated by him. than we & to them when orEsiented for our consideration m the Articles of Faith which were adopted by the Baptists that assembled in London, in 16S0: nor than when the same articles are presented lo • s t o n g b e c n ap'proved by the Philadelphia As-socistion, in 174i We arc not disposed to lind lault wi ' i Mr. C. fur laicfciag a certain doctrine, and approve of the same doctrine when tinght by some other p^rsnui. tiiouch the doctrine mav be explained -m diCurent lan^iage. But we do'dis-approve of the teaching of any one who contend'; for the doctrine that baptism dedaratively remits sins, or that it is a sign or a seal of the remission of sms. We are .'^atisSel th.it .sncb a doctrine is opposed to the .Scriptures."'

We bow to the transcccdoit genius of Elder Sars, and confess onrself lost in wonder and sur-prise? If neither Baptists nor Campliellitcs teach the design of Baptism correctly—^^here is truth?"'

are neither cc it-L'y remitted ia and by baptism—nor dei'lared on the part of the subjccl to t c ramittrf—u' the act is ndUier f j r the actual rsmissioa nor for tho sign cr profession of remission, will Elder Scaxsr pleasa explain to us. in what sense John -preaeiicd the b-apti.-j[n of repentance for [eis] the r c m i ^ n cf ains—^aad what Peter meant when he commaadLHl the pcnticostial con-verts to be baptized for tlic remiBsion of sins," and "what Aimainas meant when he commanded Paul to arrise and -be bajitiicd and wash away his ans."

"We will not presume to put any construction npon Dder Sears language. "We will not suppose that he has himself any very definite conception cf what he meant. When he explains himsdf more fully, if he can. his

opposition to Ofcharf's Uistory will be explained. It may appear that he oppises Orchard, as many snppnse, because Orchard teaches and maintains the doctrine of Baptists, against Papists and Pro-

_ testants Elder Sears takes it upon himself to prove that

Baptists have been tmsound touching the design of baptism since A. D. 1GS9, at least!!

QcEax.—"Where brethren bccome dissatisfied in » B^Ust church or churches, because the church w dmrihes hold the doctrine of God's sovereignty, or the doctrine of predestination and election, as it is held T^ Baptists, and those brethren obtained let-tas, after which the chnrchTecaves tmdoubted tastimoay that they have taken letters because they fid not fellowship the brethren holding siid doc-biae, these brethren then call a presbytery to con-stitnte them into a chnrch: but when the presbyte-fflet IH the members reiuise to confitute but one, and that one goes forward alone,and constitutes them into a chnrch, upon principles fifierent fiom what Baptist beUeve. Now the i uestiDn is, when the brethren vifflt tts at our communkm seasons, is it right, or is it not ri^it, to communs with them, or a ^ them to crnmnnr with ns. - V sc.

Ass.—We sbotiU regHdsiidi as adusmaiks, snd oooH not invite them to connnnne, for it wtnid be e d g a a g tber "lath *ad aids ."

Yot the TflDDcrcfl Bipt i i t .

BBO GRAVES:—-A member of a Baptist church ntarby, ix) l lect5 money due one not of a church, but a member of the church is responsible, and has to make it good, thereby is a loo.-Jcr—how can two brethren thus remain in the same church, and if the church w i l l not discipline the erring, ought the oth-er to leave!

I'rother owes another, acknowledges the debt, promises the church to pay when able, but makes no atttmpt, will not make the pittance secure, though the creditor would give aay time—the debt was cash, received, and yet the debtor kept in part, the coniideration for which cash was raised. A plain case, yet the chimdi rafuses to exdude, ought the creditor, a nuble minded brother, to remain with such brethren?

-i^s.—It is the bouadea duty of every church to enforce discipline, and see that one brother rend-ers that which is honest, one to another. That church is grossly direlict in duty that does not do this, and where she has become so corrupt as to re-fuse to do this, all good men ought to leave her.

• A prcacher, and an cioeUent brother too, was seen by one or more brethren in the same church to take bread and wine, as oflered by the Campbellites at their reUgious exercise. Is it the duty of these witnesses to report to the church, or talk with the brother, and what should the church do, if a report be made!

A;;--.—To report to the church, for it was an of-fcncc against the church. The church should promptly exclude him, unless coniiaced of his er-ror, he repeats, and promises amendment.

These (;uestions are asked by one whom you know W o u l d nut offend any ol these brothers, and docs not proiwund queries f>r strife; but rather to insure pescc. Neither yourself, myself, nor many others, could ea.-ily feel satisfied, if required to afliliatewith such. -Vs you know not the parties, nor can but very fnc know them, 1 beg you will speak out aad spare not.

readers would be intere^ed in the following short notice.

One J^Uua B. Stamps, a <[Uondam member o f the Baptist chnrch, and somewhat notorious as the champion of Apostacy, visited recently our State and country, during which visit, he was exceeding-ly anxion.s to discu.ss the question of apostacy with somebody, and challenged any aud all to the con-test. He had been told something of our Bro. N. D. Moore, and ho was quite anxious to see and dis-cuss the matter with him. Unfortunately Bro. Moore was coafiaed to his bed by severe mdisposi^ tion. Said Stamps, however came to see him, aad being strongly solicited by both Stamps and his friends, he concluded to meet him in debate. All met on Monday, 9 o'clock, October 3d, at Union Church, eight mUes west of Searcy, Bra Moore got up from his bed, and was driven in a buggy to the church, whithout aay preparatioa whatever, to meet the c l ^ p i o n of Apostacy. .\nd truly, to have seen Mr. Moore, so boyish in appearance, and so pale and emadated, standing beside Elder J. B, Stamps, his opponent, reminded me much of David and Gohath. Though laboring under such very im-favorable circumstances, I assure you, Mr. Stamps never received such a handsome rebuke, nor the doctrinc of the '-Final Perseverance of the Saints," so completely sustained, to the entire satisfaction of all its friends, as in the hands of Elder Moore. The rotton fabric of Apostacy, was by him emphatically underminded, and with a crashing noise fell like Dagon before the ark of Truth. To God be all the glory, truth Is mighty and will prevail.

what are her present wants, when the popula-tion is doubled—when intelligence is wide spread-when enterprizc is instinct with life—when wealth is accumulating beyond all precedent—when we know tliat this Valley must give character to the legislation of this country, aad that here must be fought the great battie of dvil and religious Ubcr-ty.

B A I T l S T THEOLiiGlCAL I S S T I T P T E .

WUENEVER great enterprises, which have pro-mised much to the interests of sound Biblical

learning and Ministeriel efiidency. have totally and hopelessly failed, "a decent respect" to the memo-ries of the originators requires that the causes of such faUure should be fully set forth. The eater-prise to which I allude is the late • Western Bap-tist Theological Institute. ' I do not design to do more than simply to call attention to the wants of the Mississippi Valley with respect to » Theoloirical School.

More than twenty years ago this want was felt by the friends of ministerial education. The pro-priety and necessity of establishing such an Insti-

-tution was first discussed at a convention of Wes-tern Baptists, held in Cincinnati in 1833. At a meeting of the same body, held at the same place in 1834, forty Ministers and thirty-three lay breth-ren were present from Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, IlUnois, Missouri, "Western Pennsylvania and "Western Virginia. On the 10th of Nov., 1834, the Western Baptist Education Society was organ-ized and the following resolution adopted:

Resulted, That in the opinion of this Conven-tion, the wants of the Valley of Mississippi require that we should have an Institution mtended solely for the education of those whom the churches shall approve as called of God to prtach the Gospel,

The 4th Artideof the Constitution reads thus; "The officers of the Society shall be a President,

\ ice President, Secretary and IVeasurer, who shall perform all the duties usually pertaining to those offices in similar Societies; a Board of Directors, consisting of at least two members from each Wes-tern State, and one member from each State, a part of which Ues West of the Allcghanies and from each organized Territory."'

The characteristic feature of this Artide is its equality of representation. Those good men, many of whom now sleep tn the dost, in this Article dearly expressed their intention that the proprie-torship of the Institution should be in the Baptists of the Mississippi Valley. Their desires to do good were "not hemmed m by the narrow limits of State lines." Their benevoleace swept the entire Valley, from the Ukes to the Gulf This state-ment is due to the originators of this enterprize.

In 1844> the Theological Institute was chartered by the Legislature of Kentucky, aad lu thu same year the comer-stone of the edificc wa"! laid with imposing ceremonies. That was a day of congra-tiilation.-^ among the friends of Mimsterial Educa-tioa. September 1845 the School was opened for instruction. AU was harmony of counsel and ac-tion till the meetmg of the ^ a r d in Sept, li>47. It was in proof that, between the meetings of the Board in June and Sept, 1847. some of the wise ones had discovered that the Baptists of the Mis-sissippi Valley meant a clique in Cincinnati, aad that the equality of representation, spoken uf in the 4th Artide of a defuact Education Society, meant that the Cincinnati Trustees held the Keys and were by divine right, the legal guardians of more than half a million of Baptists. Acting upon this discovery, they attempted to seize and transfer the entire property to Ohio, Bishop Purcell being invited, as a fellow-helper, as his own afiidavit shows. This act on the part of the Ohio Trustees was pronounced in Kentucky, ' A most stupendous moral fraud:" and an appeal was taken to the Ken-tucky Legislature, by whose act the control of the Institution was placed in the hands of the Ken-tucky Trustees. This act of the Kentucky Trus-tees was pronounced in Ohio, ' One of tho most piratical acts of the age," The - war of extermi-nation commenced which was waged for years, when the parties, by the decision of the Court of Appeals in Kentucky, found that thousands of con-secrated treasure had been more tlian wasted—that one half of the entire property had been hypothe-cated—that debts were accumulating—that suits were pendiag against them—that ruin and infamy were staring them in he face, and that the bellige-rents were just where they started in 184T. This was a sad dilemma. The inquiry arose : •• What shall we do? The anxious bench was brought out and a general rush was made for the highest seat. Suitable confessions were made, viz: Ohio acknowl-edged that she was not ia reality the entire Missis-sippi Valley, and Kentucky acknowledged that she had claimed a littie too much. But both seem to have settled down into the solemn conviction, that as Rome once had, at the same time, two Popes who bitterly and truthfully spoke hard things of each other; so Ohio and Kentucky, though they had accused each other of "Fraud and Piracy;" yet were in reality the whole Valley, Lakes, Moun-tains, Rivers and Golf, and that Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, (tc., &c., were mere fringes hung upon their borders, as tail pieces. They therefore dedded to divide the spoil between them. True they called each other very naughty

namts. But the two Popes had done the same and they were infallible, consequently must have spo-ken the truth. Whether these brethren spoke the truth with respect to each other is not the question now. It would be difflcult to beheve, and if they hereafter call each other brother, we may, perhaps,

think they were only in a pet. I may be asked, "Why stir this vexed question which has caused so much bitterness, and strife, and infamy."

I reply: 1st. For the sake of information. If an act committed by A. would be ' a stupendous moral fraud," and the same act committed by B. would be of the most piratical acts of the age," how, when comnutted by A, and B. together, does it become a righteous act, and one upon which we can invoke the blesing of a Holy God'

2nd. t would not disturb the repose by the least ripple of the waters, if either of the h i ^ contiact-ing parties was performing the work of the Wes-tern Baptist Theolc^cal Institute. Nay, more, if there was a distant prospect that they would ever per&nn the work.

Received of the church at .McMinnville «5 10-through tile hands of Rev. R, G. Kimbrough, from' various persons, 848.25; of Rev A D Trimble SI-of Mrs. Trimble, SI; of M. C. Jordan, 81; through the hands of Rev. L. H. Bethd, from the Slission-ory society of tiie Female Instihite at Muri'reesbo-rough, ?18 00. Total, 874.35.

We cannot refrain from expressing a word in re-spect to the young ladies of the above named insti-tute At Shelbyville, we were introduced to three of them, by Bro, Bethd, and we saw others as we passed through tiio town of Murfi-ec.sboix), tiie day after tile GcnerUAssodation,tiiey were hastening on book in hand, to the Institution, a large aad substantial built edifice near tiie ruad I was travd-mg. I was very much pleased with Oie appearance of tiie young Udies, and Uie commanding appear-ance of the budding.

The Missionary Sodety speaks well for tiie tiioughtfulness, benevolence,and hearts of the young ladies and teachers of the school,

A considerable amount was contributed by some of Uie sodety at tiie Association: after hearing our address upon the mission among the Creeks and Cboctaws, which wUl appear in the minutes of tiiat meeting.

We have long been a warm advocate of Boardmg Schools. Here a large and comprehensive view of the relation we sustain to tiie world and each other, is continually brought before tiie mind, while all the noble features Of the heart are repeatedly aroused.

We readily accord to the sentiment long ago ex-pressed. that pupils will learn more in three years at a boarding school, tiian five years at a common country school. From their equals or associates, pupils learn more than from tiieir teachers.

The pranks and tricks which they practice upon each oUier, and the disception conse<]ueBt upon them, is oaly tiie great world acted out inminature. We would therefore recommend the above Institu-tion to the attention of every father that has a daughter he desires to educate.

Respectfully, S . WALLACE.

OLD L i N D M A l i K .

CENTRAL Baptist .\ssodation of Mississippi has Just dosed its tenth anniversary. The fourth

principal publicly avowed by this .Association, see twelfUi page of Minutes for 1844. reads thus, no alteration has been made in an artide of Gospel for Order sevensessions in which the writer has been present.

4 th . That the immersion cf the body in the wa-tej, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, of a believer, or one who gives evidence of a change of heart, is the only sjriptural baptism, and none but ministers who are in good standing, and have been baptised and ordained according to our faith and order, have a right to administer it"'

This rule, if I may be allowed to call it, which has heretofore received the unqualified assent of every member of ten Associations, assuredly i.s in advocacy of the doctrines held by Baptists, during all past ages, and exceedingly few exctptions. I say •unqualified assent," because no man has yet had

the boldness to propose an alteratioa thus, by si-lence giving to the world his approval.

In the third article of Faith, same page, bapti.-m is held ab to be a g.Dspel ordinance, and should be '•be eontmucd in the church until his second com-ing. Every member of said association thus avers baptism is in the church, that is,*! understand, ad-ministered by the church.

Would it not come with an ill grace from me to advocate the reception of a memlier upon an act done by a m ^ not "ordained," as above, and he not a member of a church? ' Baptism is the door of admission, none unbaptised are members. ' The the reader will please remember the .\rticles of Faith, Gospel order, and Rules of order, are pub-lished annually in the minutes of said .Assodation, or usually so done- and it is presMmable that all members know what he is to profe.ss to believe be-fore he takes his seat. It is very true tiie .Associ-tion receives delegates, becausc churches being in-dependent has delegated such, but it cannot ratify the ddegate who knows he holds opinions at vari-ance to the acknowledged principles of the Associ-ation, in which he sits. It may gratify some to acknowledge they are low-churchmen, because high-churchism is a term of reproach, but it would be better to stay out of a body which holds doctrines so opposite. As well might one take his seat who holds that the "visible church of Jesus Christ IS a congregation o f men, professing and practicing strictly temperance. Why not take your seat in our Association and deny the divinity of Christ, acknowledging him to bo mediator, but only man !

The times are portentious. May the Spirit of God direct and preside in all our deliberations. May no desire of victory have a resting place. Jlay one and all seek for truth to have the victory, and rightousness to prevail every where.

M B . EDRROA: I write you some things, whereof we are glad. We rejoice and thank the Father of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the raulti plied mercies and blessings we have received.

Wo have just condaded a protracted meeting held with the Hurricane church, in this Parish, r jaimencing on the 14th inst., and closing on the :tjth. Sixty-nine were added to the church. Fifty

of that number were baptized, and four are yet to be: the rest received by letter.

This chorch was constituted last January, on five members. Up to the time of this meeting that number had increased to twenty-two. Elder Ga-briel E. Nash and the writer, were the laborers in the meeting. "Vours in christian bonds.

P. S.—The unconverted part of the congregation were anxious to continue the meeting. There were a great many left still anxiously enquiriog the way of life and £^vation. May the word of God that has been preached, be as bread cast upon the wa-ters—that it may bo gathered many days hence, to his name,honor and glory. Amen. i . v. i.-

Walker definos the word communion thus

the Lord's Supper, common possession Here we discover that commuion is not con-

should I do in that pcrsi >n"s situation? " is not a jost

mode of judging. 1 must not eii>ert a man that is

all have common possession ir the Savior, and as f uch, all Christians have a right to participate in Christian communion. CWht-n I speak of Clristiar.s. I mean such as have rcpenied, believed on the Lord Jesus Chri.st, and received tiin.ogh f lith ihe free p;iT(lon of their sins.)

This communiiin consists in part in love to-ward each other, for by this we know w»- have passed from death unto lite, because we love the brethren ; also in conversing cn[the delight-ful subject of religion, bearing and preaching j the word, meeting together, singing, eihoning. j and praying with and for each other, together ! with many other christian duties and privileges, | too manv to oTiumf'rato in an esaay ot 'be I length of thi». |

"This kiud of communion differs from sRcra-menla!communion. All Chiristians, however, havf a right t.i B.-<-ramental communion when j taken in proper onler. There aro but two sa-craments, and of course cannot he but two kinds of sacramental communion. Those f.fi-cramentj are Hapusm snd the LorH's up- ' per : tho first of which is Baptism, the S"i-on<l | tie Lord's tjupper. All denominations B^rcf ! in the use of the Lord's Supper, and tench ihit the design of the Loni'p Supper is to 'h.iw forih the Lord's death until his second "-omit.g. They alpo agree in tLo qualificatir-n of the communicant—i. e. that the cacdidHte rorcom-munion at the Lord's bla i-hould ba a bap-tized believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. That I am right on this »ub joct, I will quote In m some of the most einineat Pedobaptiet writers. First, I will quote from Pr. Doddridge, whom I suppose to have been a Presbyterian.

Doddridge says, " It is ctrtain that Chris-tian-i in general have always been fpoken of by the most ancient fathers as baptized pcrson.s, and it is alfo certain that a.s far as our know!

DOCIRIS* OF IxpmiTon.—-HAS Jesus Christ

bean slain as a sacrifice of propitiation for us?—

Tben bow nin, bow ima»nfortaide and perilous, is

the opnion of those wbo deny the imputation of his

righteousness to heliereis; for herel - they endeavor

to Mp tbe fimodationg of tbe Cbristivi's hope, and

Ant up tbe springs of Ss joy; berely they oppose

the ocntmued series of SerelatiaB both in the Old

aad Kew Testamoct. To ( ^ y the Imputation of

Christ's zi iteaasnesB to beliereiB, is tb« same

thing in effect as to denj his being sacrificed for

them, aad equally unreasonable. If Cbiiat has

not ied for our redemption, our fiu'tb i« Tain—we

are Tttfaont hope, bdp, comfort! But, Uessed

be God, thoingh tbe doctrine cf Christ crucified be

to &e Jaws a stmnUing-biock, and to the Greeks

fijoUshnecs, jet, to tiwse tint bdieve, it is the wi»-

d(7m of God andtl>e powerof God.

(•ommon viz : that baptism is essential to church mem-bership ; and the charge of close communion is no more applicable to Baptists than u', in-asmuch as the question of cliurch fellowship with them is dett rmined by as liberal princi-ples as with any other Protesl.sut Church." Hibbard on Baptitm, p. 174.

We see from the above quotations, wbirh we might greatly enlarge if it were necessary, that 03 the subject of sacramental communion we do not differ from the Pedobaptists; that we all agree that the element to be used in the Supper is bread and wije; that the use of the Supper ia to show forth the death cf the Savior, and that the candidate must be a bap-tized believer. We also see that our path forks before we get to the Lord's table, and that the difference is about the subject .ind mode of baptism, and not about rommuion.

Bishoji Hedding, a chief Bishop of Metho-dism, in a sermon on the aiministration of dis-cipline, asks the question, page 74. Is it prop-er for a preacher to give a general inviiatioB in the congregation to members in good stan-ding in other chnrches, to come to the Lord's Supper ? And the answer he gives is emphat-ically No : let the rule in all cases be strir'ly adhered io.—Disdplim, p. 76.

We see then, as Baptists, that we are no more close ccmmnnionists than Pedobaptists, and not half so inconsistent, for we commune with all our. baptized members, and they do not—i. e. their baptizad infants. For tbe fu-ture, then, let all those who are disposed to throw upon ns that slang of abuse which is common in calling us sel^h, narrow-hearted, and bigoted, let them do it in view of our dif ference with regard to baptism i for about that TO do differ, but not about sacramental com-munion at the Lord's table.

I will close this Essay by giving yon a con-versatioo that occurred" between Brother Re-mington and a Methodist Brother. " Brother Remington was once an eminent

Methodist preacher, and becoming convinced of his error, left" heir connection and joined the Baptists. One day, after his connection with the Baptists, he met a Methodist Brother in the street of the city in which he lived, when the following conversation occurred :

M.—Tbe Methodist Conference is now in session in the Sute-Street Church, and a gieat many of your old friends are there. I should think yon would want to see them. Have you been there yet ?

. S.—0, yes 1 several times, and gave many of them a gixxi hearty shake by the hand.

if.—Do yon yet believe them to be Chris-tians and Christian ministers ?

i? .—know nothing to the contrary, and am bound so to believe, nntil I do.

Jfl—Should you have communion in your Chureh during the session of Conference, and those dear old friends and brethren of yours be present, would yon invite them to sit down with you at the Lord's table ?

Jt.—Not because they are my personal friends, or even ministers of the gospel.— There are three kinds of fellowship among Christians—Ministerial, Christian, and Church fellowship- the two former may be exercised without the Utter, and the latter without ei-ther of the two former. I may fellowship you as a Christian, and them as Christian mmis-ters, without any Church fellowship ; and, on the otberliand, I majr be obliged ia some ca-

ia we church with

I h.id ju.si baptiTiwl a nobie h-.artcd brother that

moniiD;; r,.;ht out of the I'edo ranks, who had also

brcn inimers 'il !.y a Methodist preacher, I referred

II as 1 pra.ni::al illustration of the faith and prac-

tii of the woman m the wilderness; for all know-

it was s pan of her faith and practice to baptize

again th.jse, n hoKe baptism she had reason to donbt

Fmally, I noticed the church was destined to leave

her bleeding home in the wildeme,ss., and come

forth clear as tbe moon, fair as the sun. and terri-

ble as an army with banncrj.

1 next set out to redeem my pledge ia showing

the difference between Baptists and other denomi-

nations, (difference in faith and practice.)

To do this I referred to the religious tenets of

Henry, of Luther, Calvin, Wesley, and Campbell,

aad I dont know who else, and on examination, oh!

what a tide of baptismal regeneration, fervenion

of charcb ordinances, opprrfiwn in church govern-

ment, and downright Popery, eecmed to roll its

crushing waves over every hope of a true reforma-

tion, and leave the man of sin alone to rejoice. Just

here our Pedobaptists scats grew as hard as wood

itfelf j and every twist around about, seemed ac-

companied with a frown, as if to avx us down from

the Rtand. But undismayed, the haider they

frowned, the more were we determined, by the help

of God, to preach the truth, and so wo led on by

noticing the unfitness of an 'unconverted English-

man to build the church of Christ, and that, too,

when the true church had been bleeding in the wil-

derness, more than fifteen hundred years before he

had being, we also noticed that Jlr. Wesley preach-

ed nine years before he was converted, but because

we said he refu.oed to baptize Mrs. Parker's baby,

unless she would have it immersed, we arc charged

with filsehood, and I dont know but almost insani-

ity, and the next thin? we heard was that we had

fired a big gim and killed ourself. Sad news indeed

Wa paused for a moment, then scanning over the

battle field, we came to the conclusion that, if we

are dead, like Sampson, we slew more in death than

life.

But we consoled ourself with the thought that we

are not dead, bnt hope by the help of God to live

to renew the attack, and not only so the weapons

of onr warfare are accumulating, for whereas we

once could do no more than fire big Iron Guns, we

now can fire guns and roll big Iron Wheels, the last

mentioned having found its way to our coast, pur-

porting to be hot from Nashville. And, oh! what a

crash! cra.shl chrashing it makes when its great

wheel, and little wheels, and its still less wheels be-

pin to perform. These tyranical rcvotetions in tho

midst of free and independent Americans.

But I have written quite beyond my first in-

tentions. We conclude by saying to our breth-en,

that now is the accepted time, now "ig the day of

salvation, to-day if you will hear his voice, harden

not your hearts, and hold not your peace, but come

out like noble hearted, round hearted baptists, take

your Bible, take the Tennessee Baptist, Old Land

Marks, and Iron Wheel, with these great weapons,

and many others, we shall achieve tha victory and

wear the crown.
