Ktiovr ye not tkid yc are the temple of God, and that tie Spint of God dwelUtk m jou!—1. Corin- BANS; M: IG. is the Apostles were Jews, they oflen employed JinriA phraseology. Many fonna of eipression, of wiidi they availed themselTes were familiar to : flie minds of Jews. Hence, if we would understand Tsrious allusiona wMch they make, we must ac- qnaint canselves with the Jewish economy. The y , i tem{ie at Jerusalem was an object dear to the heart oferoyJew. It was the house of God. He was represented as dwelling there. It is in reference to tins iact that the Corinthian church was termed the temple of God. Every church of Christ, and eve- ry individual christian may be thus designated. ( M dwells in every church of the Saints, and in every pious heart. L •WHAT IS SB:ITSS-IA,T TO COSSTIICTE THE HEART ATEaPLXrOsGOD? The comprehenave answer to this question, is— EsGssiaAnos. Man in his origim.1 innocence was God's Temple, God dwelt in his heart as his man- sion. He considered it a suitable habitation, and worthy of himself. He who dwelt in the heaven of heavens, can ccnsstcntly dwell in aiy pure heart When man sinned his house was left desolate. God would not remain in it. He left it in indignation. The temple was ia ruins—^utterly unfit for the Di- vine residence. Every part was polluted, defiled, unclean. If God ever dwells in it again, it must undergo a thorough renovation. It must be recon- structed. There must be a new ereatiou: for "if any man be in Christ he is a new creature; old things have passed away, behold, aH things have become new." I know of no portion of scripture, which indicates more dsarly than this, the radical nature af that change w h i i occurs in all who become Chris- tiana. They are new creatures—there is a new moral creation. If all created things were to sink into the abyss of nothingness, it would manifestly requOT the power of Gtod to give them eristence again. So the principle of Divine life in the son of man, having been extinguished by sin, God alone can re-create that principle. The regenerate are the •nrfcmanship of God—^He has performed on them a mighty revolutionary operation, indicated in the sonptures by the phrases, '-bom again," '-bom of the spirit," '-born of God.' -created in Chnst Jesus lie." This operation reconstructs and renovates • , the deiMlished temple o*" man's soul; and makes it fit residence for tha Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God takra up its abode there. I have referred to mdi- vidual, personal regeneration. Now a company of regenerate persons are the scriptural matenala of wHch a church of Christ is composed. '-By one ' spirit, are ye all baptized into one body"—that is. under the impulses of one regeneratmg spirit, who qualifies for chnrcE membership, yon have received baptism, which brings Jew and Greek, bond and ' " free—all believers—into one body. And as the ^ Kily Spirit dwells in the individual christians heart ^ ' ; he dwells in the hearts of believerswhen they come ' : together as a chnrch. Every church of Christ is, i ; - thereihre, the tempfe of God. and the Spirit of God "" dwdlsinit. Xet us notice— N. THE DTDWHTTIVG OF THE HOLT SPIBIT. The Spirit of God dwells in you. 1. Se dwells in •ym as Ihe Spirit of adoplion. "Because ye are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son innj your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." The spirit of adoption prompts those who enjoy it, to daim filial relationship with God. They consider themselves '-sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty" and rejoice in the distinction. In cmtemplating the adopting love of God to the be- loved disdple, was overwhelmed with delightful wonder, and exclaimed, "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon ua, that we shall becaEedthesonsof God!" Well may we "con- sider the 'manner of love"—love which recognizes aa children of God, those who were once aliens from him, and rebels against hia government. What a privilege to have the spirit of adoption! How sub- lime the hnnor of claiming kindred with the i^es- . ^ How exalted the distinction implied in the title— "sons of God!" Those who enjoy this distinction, ^ " naji like the saints of old, "wander about in shetp- - Etea, and goat-skins, being afflicted, destitute, tor- mented;" but '"the world ia not worthy of them," , ... for they daim the God of heaven as their Father t and their best Iriend. They are led by the Spirit .of God, and they are the sons of God, W - ^ ti* GloHjUr of Gcd. •WiiSt^zu^'i^^ ahaE ^orify, me," said Christ, '-for he shaH ..bvuiatioQ^ things that are mine, and show them .Ji t-j Bi5tiits.3ou havtie spnit glorifies Christ by revealing , "the way forpoipess as a Savior, and indu- - —thatistaeTog^seqaencis mia'aiTation.

There is one fact which strikingly proves the value of the Spirit's comforting presence.' That fact is that the presence of the Spirit as a Com- forter more than compensated the Apostles for the loss of Christ's personal presence. The Savior said, "It is expedient for yon that I go away; for if I go not away the Comforter will not come; but if I < J e ^ I wUl send hhn to you." The world cannot receive the Spirit as a Comforter. He acts upon- the worid as a reprover. He dwdls with the Chris- tian and with the Churches of the saints as a Com- forter. The first Churches were represented as "walking m the fear of the Lord and in the com- fort of the Holy Spirit." To the Holy Spirit as the Author of pcaco and joy are we indebted for the ex- perimental consolations of the gospel. He who en- ioys the presence of the indwelling Comforter has a peace the worid knows not of—experiences a hap- piness which does not lie at the mercy of drcum- stancea- How pure, how sublime the joy arising from the work of the Spirit as a Comforter! 5. As the earnest of the heavenly inheritance. We are said tn be "scaled with that Holy Spirit of promise, which ia the earnest of our inheriunce." The Spirit dwells in the heart exdting expectation of future gloty, and giving a foretaste of it. The saints are said to rejoice "with joy unspeakable and full of glory." Their joy is like the joy of the glori- fied in heaven—it is the same in kmd, though dif- ferent in degree. And this joy, the product of the Spirit, is an antepast of the joy of heaven. The spiritual life which now animates beUevers is the foretaste of eternal life.- The beginning of holiness in the soul here is an antidpation of the perfect hoUness of heaven. The love which glows in the heart now will, in the upper world, npen into ser- aphic ardor. It is tho Holy Spirit who produces the joy, the life, the holiness, and the love referred to. The Spirit is, therefore, the earnest of our hea- venly inhentance. He gives us now a part ol that the whole of which we are ere long to receive. In giving us enough of our inheritance to answer the purposes of our minority he sacrcdly pledges him- self that we shall have all when we attain our ma- jority. He is the earnest ot our inheritance, R N . T H E DCTIEA OP IXORVIDCAL ENAISTIASS A.ND CHUHCNES IX ^-LEW OF TEE F A N TIUT THEY AP.E TEM- PLES OP THE HOLT SPIRIT. - * 1. They shm.U cidtivaie a teme nf cmstant de- pendance on ihe Spirit. They are dependent, and they honor the Spirit by admitting and feeling the fact The same agency which originates divine life in the soul must sustain and perpetuate its existence. The Aiiostlc Paul said to the Ephesians ' Grieve not the Holy Spint of God whereby ye are scaled to the day of redemp- tion." In condescension to our weakness the Spirit is respresented as susceptable of grief. And how can we grieve him more than by failing to cherish a sense of entire dependence on hio agency? '-Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of ha-ts," is a doctrine which the Bible «Tery where teaches. 2. Thry should cultivate holiness of heart. The Spirit loves to dwell in a holy place. No polluted habitation invites his presence. The im- pure heart repels him. The Son of God to whom the Spirit was given without measure, laid, '-Bless- ed are the pure in hearL ' Christians should take care lest they indulge feelings and cherish purposes inconsistent with purity of heart. They should keep their hearts with all diligence. They should crndfy every '-inordinate affection"' and ' perfect holiness in the fear of God." 3. They shoidd exhibit holiness of hfe. They say that the Spirit dwells in their hearts, but their hearts are invisible. How can it be known that he dwells there unless the holiness of the life indicates his presence? The world will judge of the state of the heart by the life; and it is the proper way of judging. The life must be conformed to the divine word—the irard of the Spirit. He who is a Christian inwardly must be a Christian outwardly. Professions of internal piety amount to nothing in the absence of external conformity to the will of God. If the Spirit of God dwells in our hearts let the fact be shown by the obedience of our lives. 4. They must guard the purity of Ihe Churches. Every Church of Christ is the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in it. Its members must guard its purity by rejectmg unworthy applicants for membership, and by expelling those who dis- honor their pro fession. To take the unworthy into church fellowship or to retain them in fellowship is to defile the temple of God. Their presence pol- lutes his holy place. A Church of Christ is the proper place for regenerate persons, but it is the most inappropriate of all places for the unregene- rate. No one ought to belong to a visible Church of Christ on earth wlm is not morally fitted for membership in the church triumphant in heaven. The discipline of most churches is very lax. H we would enjoy the approbation of the Head of the Church we must withdraw from every brother that walks disorderly. !

It .s not long since I X stood just where you are standing now. I know from sad espenonce with how much difficulty the light of truth makes its way thiough the mists and fogs by which ones early education has sur- rounded him, and how slowly it dispek the clouds and darkness of long-established prejudices. It is rare indeed to find any one educated as you were and accustomed as you have been, from childhood' to think that whoever might be wrong, the Presby- terians must be right, yet exhibiUng the candor to acknowledge error, and the conscience to repudiate it so soon as it shall be clearly seen. I hope you will not refrain from expressing even the shadow of of a doubt if it keeps your uund from seeing dear- ly the way of Christian duty as required in God's word. What was the next case on yoar memoran- dum? It was that of CorneLus and his friends. Peter says, who shall -forbij water' ' .\nd it seemed to me more natural for hiui to use this expression, if -the water was to be Irmi^kt to sprinkle them, than if they were to be taken to the water to be dipped in it. But. replied Mr. Courtney, Peter docs not say. the water L-.XJ to be brought. He only says, who will forbid wafer, (tliat is to be used ra the baptiz- ing of these people.) It was simply equivalent to saying, who will forbid their baptism? But the water might have been brought to immerse them. What would hinder it? I was present once when a Baptist minister said to the sexton of the church, .-•Let water be brought for the baptism uf six per- settle it by a figure of spcech-a diance allusion, or compansMi. The fanciful must be governed by the actual. This is self-evident. Now. we have seen and settled that the literal meaning of this word is to immerse. And henceforth, whenever and wherever we find it figuratively employed, the allusion must be in some way or other to immer- sion or some circumstance attending immersion. On this alone wiU its beauty and appropriateness as a figure depend. Now, remembering this, let us examine the case in hand. The aUusion cannot be to "the pouring,'' which itself is but a figuro-for no literal and ac- tual pouring of the second person of the Trinity couU occur. The allusion was not to the manner of the Spirifs coming, but to the copiousness, abun- dance, and ovenvhehning nature of his influences: fiUing, overflowing, surrounding, and, as it were, swallowing up their souls. The Gfeeis often used the word baptized in this wav; as baptized in debt, baptized in afllictioa, baptized in wine, (that Ls overcome of wine,} baptized in iniquity, or a.s we would expressit smJc ininiquity. We use the word immerse in the same way when we say of one that he is immersed in dissipation—immersed in busi- ness—immersed ia politics and the like—we simply mean by such expressions that the dissipation, bu- siness, or politics, controls and occupies all the powers and capacities of the man. We do not mean to say.that they were poured oa him, or sprinkled on him, but only that they exert an overwhelming influencfc over him. And j ust in this sense He told the disciples they should be immersed in the Holy Ghoi^t. I thank you, Jlr. Courtney, for that lucid expo- sition. I can hardly understand how the matter came to be so mystified m my mind as it has been till now. I will not trouble you with but one other case, and that is where the Israelites are said (1 Cor. IC: to have been "all baptized unto Moses in the doud and in thesca. ' If this was an immersion you must admit that it was a vcrj- dry one, for the Scnptare says expressly they went through on dry ground. Certainly, I will admit that it was a dry immer sion, for it was a fi^native. and not a real one.— The baptism of the iloly Spirit, which we were just speaking of, wis a dry immersion. The baptism m sons this OTening' -would you deny that those six , soifcnugs, which Jesus spoke of sn touchingly to persons were to be im,ru.rscd! In n.-cording the | James and John, was a dry immersion. The figure event, I might have said, the water was brought, j in.<iiher case was not in the wetting, but m the and they were baptized—for they Wdre actually im- overwhelming abmidance of the spirit in one, and mersed in a tank prepared for the purpo-se under of sorrow in the other. The allusion in this casci.v I>ear~is . .Wg to solvation is a change of in the State. "IVfarSj ffitinEBr^ I ^ ' I E L KISG. . Kings Mount. Cfilaftirnia. K Wo:J Used Correctly. w R. R. J. BRECKINRIDGE, ono of the most decided Presbyterians in the United States, and one of the greatest men in the world, says, in his litG letter to Mr. Seward, of Now York, that if a cert.iin contingency occurs, the tree friends of thfr L'nicn will "baptize the instituiioas of the country in the blood of traitors."' I quote from mrracry, Qot havirg Ihe letter bi fore me. I know Dr. B. a«s the word ' hcj-.lizc," and the pbraic,' "in the blood of traitors." The term baptize ha of course employs figura- tively. There can be no. literal baptism of our lle- publicat! institutions: The force of the expression ind it is very strong—arises from the fact that baptize means to immerse,. Hotv tanra it would be to say,''-Sprinklc tlic_ InsUtutJoM of the country with the blocl of tr«i'.or<«, OT pour the blood of trait'ors on the iiati'tutron.Vof the coantpyi" but to immerse the iMtilotijiii .country in the blood of triitois la jirt suehan eipression as Dr. B. wish- ed to employ., He uiteniied to cjnvcy tho idea that in a twtain event the eocmios of bur insiitutiona woold bo dc^yed with so dresdM s slaugbtei^ that tiieit ,BIooa.iw«jld.ilow so copiously—as J o j B ^ y the ^ n g figure of baptizing hi the blood of tnrito^ BBfrtlus use of the v^rd baplize ia a fignrative sen» is deCensible "only oa the suppoai- tjoji thal.tKe word,T5f«^j means, to. iiamerse.^ Spri^ TS idood-^ponria blood—will,not da^bnt "inanew, baptiie in Wood, wUl do." Dr. Breckin- Iiatlialua inind the passage inRer- Wi^ TUtci^ d i j ^ in UoodI" it^^ .v.* the floor of the church. Now, if one of the dea- cons had exclaimed, I forbid the water to be brought fur the baptism of these candidates, you must (had you been present and n.-asoncd a.s you do upon this pas.sagB,| have conclu.le J that it was sprinkling, and not immersion at all. which was spoken of. I dm satisfied. Mr. Courtney, and do uot see any thing in my next case, (which was that of Lydia and her household.) that has not already been dis- posed of. I was gomg to object that there was no- thing said about change of apparel and going to or coming from the water, but I acknowledge that when I read in a Baptist paper that forty converts were baptized one Sabbath muming. I do not doubt they were immersed, and yet I never see a word said about the clothing they wore, and often noth- ing about the place where the rite was performed So I will pass to the Jailors Baptism. Acts 16: 33 The only difliculty here is. that aa he was baptized in thl' jail. it is very improbable that it was by im- mersion. since it is not likely there was any con- venience for an immersion in an Eastern prison. Suppose, Professor ,Iones, that you should read in a newspaper that "The poor wretch who was last werk sentenced to death for the murder of old Mr, Gripall, had made a profe.ssion of religion aud had been baptized by Elder J. R. Graves, the editor of the Tennessee Baptist'—would you imagine that Mr. Graves had sprinkled him! Not for one mo- ment: you could easily believe that the water was brought, and the immersion was done in the mur- derer's cell, even though not a word was said about the bringing it. As the jailor was master of the prison, could he not have water brought, had it been needful? But the truth is, the baptism was not done in the jail. Read the passage carefully. He sprang into the prison, and he brooght the Apostles oct of it, (30th verse.) Some say he only brought them out of the inner prison. I say he brought them out of that, and into hia own house, for Olid versed they spoke the word of the Lord to all that were m his house. He took them into his family apartments, and there they preached the word. And then (verse 33d) he took them some where else where he washed their stripes and was himself tmptized; and then (34th verse) he brought them back into his house, and set meat before them. You see, therefore, that it was not .done in the prisoB, though if it had been, it would have been no proof that it was not immersion. I wonder, said Mr. Jones, that I had never seen the case in thia hght before. Now, smco I have observed it carefully, it is all very plam; and I have found no other instance where the" wn^yie htu- its literal sense, and which pr' '" which havi<i.-,vuion wo wishto see placed in the tiands of every student in our colleges and theolog- ical schools, in which Hitchcock, and Pye Smith, and Hugh Miller arc text and reference books.

They did indetd go down into the sea, Ui one goes down into the water to l>c baptized The water stood on each siJt of them and the clou'i covered them—so iliatthcy migh' very appropn&le- ly and brautifully be said, in a figure, to be immers- ed in the cloud and ibe sea. But the chief allusion is to another and altogether difierent circumstance. As the Christian by going down into the baptivma' water professes his belief in Christ, and takes upon himself a solemn obliiatiun of obedience to ihe law^ of Christ, So the Jews, Paul says, by going down into the sea. and walking Lrntath the cloud, pro- fessed their faith m Moses, ami took ujion them ob- ligauonsof obedience to him. They wer« thus bap tized into Moses. ' The main allusion is not to the act, but to the obligatioi, of the ordioancc. Would the figure be any c.-ore IwauiifiJ. or any mere ap propriate. if we should say that they were all sprink led into Mosis, or were all poured into Moses? Profei^r Stuart, on this pa!,sage. rays, ' Tht -suggestion has sfimetimts been made that the Is- raelites were sprinkled by the cloud and by thesca. and that this was the bapli.-m which Paul meant, but the cloud was not a rain cloud, nor do we find any intimation that ibe waters of the, lied Sea sprinkled the children of Israel at that time. ' It seems to me, said Thecdosia, that the idea of rain is absolutely precluded—for if it had rained upon them to any extent, the ground would have been wet. but it says expits-fly they went through on dry ground. That would seem to set the matter at rest, Theo. If it were uot that the Psalmist evidently speaking of this very occasion, (Pta. 77: 17, 18.) says ex- prcEbly the clouds poured out water.'the skies sent out a sound, thine arrows also wcLt abroad; the voice of thy thunder was in the heaven, the hght- nings lightened the world, the earth tren.bled and shook. But the Psalmist does not say. Uncle, that these terrible manifestations of Almighty power were di- rected against the Jeissihiy went over dry shod. To thim all was hght and pcacc. But the doud went and stood behind thim, and uoubled their enemies, the Egyptians. The thunder and the lightmng and the great storm of rain were upon them, while the Israelites ^wcre passing on dry ground. Well, Theodosia, I give it np. I have no longer any ground to stand upon; and I may as well admit at oncc. that Immersion is Ike only act which is any icherc in the Bible called a Itaptii-m. I have.

I can't yet speak so confidently, rejoined her Uncle. It may be, something will yet turn up to show the matter in some other hght. I must uke more time to consider, and this reminds me that we have not yet examined the history of the ordinance to see whether it is true in fact that sprinkling has been substituted for immersion, or whether, after all, it was not immersion that was substituted for sprinkhng. I am under the impression that these Baptists are the same sect that sprung, np about tne time of Luther and the Reformation—sometimes called Anabaptists, but more frequently the mad men of Munster. I grant I have not investigated the subject very carefully, but I am certian I have somewhere seen or heard their origin in Europe traced back to that occasion, and in this country I have been told they owe their beginning to Roger Williams, who was not properly baptized himself, and consequently could not give valid baptism to any one else. Am I not right in these conjectures, Mr. Courtney? Mr. Courtney did not reply until after he had taken out his watch and observed the time of night It is too late, said he, to answer that question and others which will be suggested by it, to-night Sup- pose we postpone the further consideration of the subject till another time. Very well, said Theodosia, who felt that she had suJicient food for one day's reflection in what had already passed. Come round, both of yon, to mor- row night. Come early and take supper with us, and meantime, Mr. Courtney, you may leave thi.s great armfull of old books. May be, I will indulge my womanly curiosity by reading their titles. I don't believe I shall have much relish for their con- tents, unless they should be vastly more attractive than their external appearance indicated. Why, some at them look as though they might be a hun- dred and one years old. Old documents are sometimes very valuable, said he, especially in such a discussion as we are to have to-morrow night. You will be more interested in chem than you imagine. TO BE cn>-TixrEi>. you Eccm to have ignificant, that is " lid to be buneil " h e allusion . -pumstance , . MAaaiAGES. c, ^ ,., ......

We come to one of the Greek criticisms of Dr. S. He says, "When eis denotes into. It is used before the noun as well as Kefoie he verb " The argument based on this t ate- m.-ni is that eis is used but oncn in A'-ts -viti: Ph'hp and the eunuch did not go into, but only to the water, and thp conciU.sio" is that "the eunuch wa» not immersed." pp 100, 101. We hope thatno copies of Dr. S.'s book will find their way across the Atlantic, for we do not wish the risibility of Europeai. linguists excited by any such sp cimms ot Aniericnn s'-bokrsh'p. Did Dr. S ever reaJ ih». goi^pel of Maihew in Greek'? If so. ht knows thnt in the second chapter, verses 11, IS:, 13, 14. 20, 21, 22. we have the phra >.-« ' into the house,' 'm'o their own country.' into Egypt,' 'into the land of Israel,' and . .nto the parts of Galilee,' He knows alsc tli-t fii is translati-d iniu in all these places, and that it is used but once before the nouns and not before the participles and verbs at all If then the statement ol Dr. S, is true in re ard to eis the 'wise men ' did not ijo 'into the house,' did not return 'imo their own coun- try,' Joseph was not required to 'flee into E g ^ t , ' <fec. Again, if tlie philology of Dr. -•i is worth anything, the devils referred to, Matthew viii: 31, 32, did not enter inio thn swine, and the swine did not run ijilo the sea, und the keepers of the swine did not go 'in- to the city," verse 33 In all these places ei» IS used but once. It seems also that th> Savior in Malt, ix: 17, did not speak of putting wine iTito bottlrs, but only io bottles, for eii i- used but once. Will Dr. S. explain how the new wine' could break the 'old bottles' without being put into them ? Once more it is said. Matt, xxv: 46, " And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the right eous tnfo life eternal." Here, also, eis is useH but once, and according to Dr S. the wicked do not go into 'everlasting punishment,' &c. What a strange word this litde eis is, if what Pedobaptists say of it is true. It will take a man into a house, into a ship, inio a country, in- to a city, into heaven, into hell—into any place in the universe except the water! Poor word! afflicted, it seems, with hydrophobia. It will allow a person to po to the water, but forbids his going into it. But laying irony aside, we say that Greek writers often ti«e eis twice to express the idea of entrance into a place— once in composition with the verb, and once before the noun or pronoun—and they often use eia but oncc to express the same idea of entrance into a place. The man who does not know this, is not a Greek scholar, and is incompotcn to write bodis on Baptism. By the way, it ha.s over been a mortification to us ih.nt otir friend. Dr. Rice, in the Lexington Debate blundered so egrcgionsly on this point We hope the day will come when Pedobap- tists will understand Greek better than they now do. BEGIN TO-DAT.—Lord I do discover a fallacy, whereby I have long been deceiving myeelf, which IS this: I hare desired to begin my amendment from my birth-day, or from some eminent festival, that my repentance might bear some remarka- ble date. But when those days have come, I have adjourned my amendment to some other time. Thus rhilst I could not agree with myself when to start, I almost lost the runuing of the race.

WHAT IS NEGESaARILT SKSnBTa TO ACTHOMa AJt rSDITIDCAL TO BBCnVB A OOSPZL lOKMini? OOXCLnDXD. THE Pulpit, in view of ita appointmeril, must either prove the Panacea (ao to speak) or buia of •-he world. And here we might ask, Who ia anffident for these things? Revelation answers, tion/; but all-Eiiflideoey most come from God. He directed its purposei and girn energy to its effort*. Well might every incumbent pause and ask himaelf the question, ia my aufflden- cy from God? Do I preach Christ and him cmcifl- ed from love? Do T preach him from motires and feelings, such as moved that great Apnctle, when he exclaimed, "JToe ismtif I prtaeh nM th4 gos- pel " These are Important qnestfona. Slany things, ve would remark, necaswrily liava to be taken into oonsideration, in determining what is a CDJ? to the Gospel Ministry. It is not aoffirient, that an individual feels an active and lirely interest in religion, a strong desire to see the interest of Christiani'y prosper, and the dominion of sin de stroycd, and the banners of Christianity plantad in victory upon its crumbling battlemeiita. Feelings like these are common to all trna Chris- tians. All woold join in ascribing praiae in the highest to God and the Lamb, coold the light of that day burst upon their enraptured viaon. The first thing to be determined la, what is the ministry? The second. What does it taka to con- stitute a call to the mini,stry? And the third. What are the qualifications requisite to tb« diachar^ of the duties of the ministry? Each of these points should be deliberately de termined, by every applicant, before be aasumeathe insignia of that holy office. The respoTttibihties asid wonderful isanes involv ed in the pulpit, and its functionB, onght to be well weighed and marured. No step ahotUd be taken unless directed and lianctioned by that light that comes from above. God was the author of the nin^e, and He mnst direct how and by whom it shall be filled. If tiie pulpit IS entered hastily, its energies are progtiate, and its ^flbrts powerlegg. because miadirected. It should be a maxim, to he adhered to, -In all instances, that a preparation both of hrart and head are estentiaUy necessary to an efBdent roiniFtiy, No one can perform the puuderous and multifur duties of the pulpit, and succes.-fullT promote the "••use of Christianity, with a head powasing no brains. There is an abgolnte necessity that tie mind be cultivated and trained to think—to think intensely. And he who will enter the pulpit and not stody, ia a usurper, and ought to be expellrd fnom it. I do not bdieve that God ever intended that the oversight of his church should be committed to men who are tno Izay U> iinproTr that intellect with which he has gifted them. Such a thing would be an anomaly in all his divine arrangements and de- crees. A minister must be fully competent for all the emergendea and obligations of the pulpit. The inspu-ed pensman in treating upon thi,>i sub ject remarks, among other qnahfications, ' He mnai be apt to teach," This evidently implied that he muBt be able to instruct—able to expound—ab)a tn demonstrate the great truths of ChristiMity. Bui for want of space we cannot prosecute the investi gation of this point further, ibwigh we would glad- ly do it, deeming it. we do, an important feature in the Divine Economy. So we will dismiss it by inviting at'ention to the 3d chapter of 1st Timothy where the subject is fully discussed. Again, it seems fromth light of revelation thongh one may possess all the qualifications that have been previously mentioned, yet. it is necessary that he be set spart or designated to the sacred werk of the ministry, by prayer and the laying on of bands— This seems to have been invariably the pracuoa of early Christiana, as we find upon consal'adon of the Sacred Record, (Acts 10: 3; 1 Tim 4: 4 ) Now i' does not seem that ^ s creaud this oiSoa, but was only latinl to it. The prinriple object of ordination seems origin- ally to have been intended to guard tha pulpit againK bad cfciracter, to protect it from those whose ministration might be denominated more deadly than the poisonona breaths of the fabled -'Upai." The immortal AposUe in writing to his own son in the faith, uses this language, "Lay hands sndden ly on no man"—lay handa only on those whoae cearacters are firm—whoso motives are commenda- ble—whose pnrposcs are thorooghly matured— "Holding fast tlie faithful word as he bath been taught, or "tn teaching:,' (aa rendered in the margin) that he may bo able by sound doctrine both to ex- hort and convince the gainsaycra." From this we would conclude that it is not alone suffldcnt that one be possessed of acknowledged parts and bright talents—it is not alone sulBdent that one's feelings scrm to be zealously enlisted in the cause of Chris- tianity So, if he be not soimd in the faith, let him alone, we wonld rejieai it, let him alone—lest one be promoted whoiie promotion wonld cripple the energies of the Cliurch, and prxuvo a bane to those prindplea hdd near and dear. As union in Christian fcding and Cfaristiia effort is valued—as a ministry umforcily canformcd to and illustraiivo of the doctrines of the Bible is valued, let the interosta of the pulpit bo carefully watched. Aqd not only mnst they bs mm who are sound in doctrinc, but they must also be men whose character is irrcproached and irreproachaUo. Let them be men white walk OIustiateB their pro- fession—whoso conduct and example will teadithe world that there is rc»5ty in religion.

A CHUBCH OP CHBIST THE TBJIPLB OF GOD. Ktiovr ye not tkid yc are the temple of God, and

that tie Spint of God dwelUtk m jou!—1. Corin-BANS; M : IG.

i s the Apostles were Jews, they oflen employed JinriA phraseology. Many fonna of eipression, of wiidi they availed themselTes were familiar to

: flie minds of Jews. Hence, if we would understand Tsrious allusiona wMch they make, we must ac-qnaint canselves with the Jewish economy. The

y , i tem{ie at Jerusalem was an object dear to the heart o f e r o y J e w . I t was the house of God. He was represented as dwelling there. I t is in reference to tins iact that the Corinthian church was termed the temple of God. Every church of Christ, and eve-ry individual christian may be thus designated. ( M dwells in every church of the Saints, and in every pious heart.

L •WHAT IS SB:ITSS-IA,T TO COSSTIICTE THE HEART

ATEaPLXrOsGOD? The comprehenave answer to this question, is—

EsGss i aAnos . Man in his origim.1 innocence was God's Temple, God dwelt in his heart as his man-sion. He considered it a suitable habitation, and worthy of himself. He who dwelt in the heaven of heavens, can ccnsstcntly dwell in a i y pure hea r t When man sinned his house was left desolate. God would not remain in it. He left it in indignation. The temple was ia ruins—^utterly unfit for the Di-vine residence. Every part was polluted, defiled, unclean. If God ever dwells in it again, it must undergo a thorough renovation. I t must be recon-structed. There must be a new ereatiou: for "if any man be in Christ he is a new creature; old things have passed away, behold, aH things have become new." I know of no portion of scripture, which indicates more dsar ly than this, the radical nature af that change w h i i occurs in all who become Chris-tiana. They are new creatures—there is a new moral creation. I f all created things were to sink into the abyss of nothingness, i t would manifestly requOT the power of Gtod to give them eristence again. So the principle of Divine life in the son of man, having been extinguished by sin, God alone can re-create that principle. The regenerate are the •nrfcmanship of God—^He has performed on them a mighty revolutionary operation, indicated in the sonptures by the phrases, '-bom again," '-bom of the spirit," '-born of God.' -created in Chnst Jesus l ie ." This operation reconstructs and renovates

• , the deiMlished temple o*" man's soul; and makes it fit residence for tha Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God takra up its abode there. I have referred to mdi-vidual, personal regeneration. Now a company of regenerate persons are the scriptural matenala of wHch a church of Christ is composed. '-By one

' spirit, are ye all baptized into one body"—that is. under the impulses of one regeneratmg spirit, who qualifies for chnrcE membership, yon have received baptism, which brings J e w and Greek, bond and

' " free—all believers—into one body. And as the ^ K i l y Spirit dwells in the individual christians heart ^ ' ; he dwells in the hearts of believerswhen they come

' : together as a chnrch. Every church of Christ is, i ; - thereihre, the tempfe of God. and the Spirit of God " " d w d l s i n i t .

Xet us notice— N . T H E DTDWHTTIVG OF THE H O L T SPIBIT. The Spirit of God dwells in you. 1. Se dwells in •ym as Ihe Spirit of adoplion. "Because ye are sons, God has sent forth the

Spirit of his Son innj your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." The spirit of adoption prompts those

• who enjoy it, to da im filial relationship with God. They consider themselves '-sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty" and rejoice in the distinction. In cmtemplating the adopting love of God to the be-loved disdple, was overwhelmed with delightful wonder, and exclaimed, "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon ua, that we shall becaEedthesonsof God!" Well may we "con-sider the 'manner of love"—love which recognizes aa children of God, those who were once aliens from him, and rebels against hia government. What a privilege to have the spirit of adoption! How sub-lime the hnnor of claiming kindred with the i^es-

. How exalted the distinction implied in the title— "sons of God!" Those who enjoy this distinction,

^ " n a j i like the saints of old, "wander about in shetp-- Etea, and goat-skins, being afflicted, destitute, tor-

mented;" but '"the world ia not worthy of them," , ... for they daim the God of heaven as their Father t and their best Iriend. They are led by the Spirit

.of God, and they are the sons of God, W - ^ ti* GloHjUr of Gcd.

The fruit of the Spirit is peace and joy as well as love. The divine Spirit ia emphaUcally the Com-forter. There is one fact which strikingly proves the value of the Spirit's comforting presence.' That fact is that the presence of the Spirit as a Com-forter more than compensated the Apostles for the loss of Christ's personal presence. The Savior said, " I t is expedient for yon that I go away; for if I go not away the Comforter will not come; but if I < J e ^ I wUl send hhn to you." The world cannot receive the Spirit as a Comforter. He acts upon-the worid as a reprover. He dwdls with the Chris-tian and with the Churches of the saints as a Com-forter. The first Churches were represented as "walking m the fear of the Lord and in the com-fort of the Holy Spirit." To the Holy Spirit as the Author of pcaco and joy are we indebted for the ex-perimental consolations of the gospel. He who en-ioys the presence of the indwelling Comforter has a peace the worid knows not of—experiences a hap-piness which does not lie at the mercy of drcum-stancea- How pure, how sublime the joy arising from the work of the Spirit as a Comforter!

5. As the earnest of the heavenly inheritance. W e are said tn be "scaled with that Holy Spirit of

promise, which ia the earnest of our inheriunce." The Spirit dwells in the heart exdting expectation of future gloty, and giving a foretaste of it. The saints are said to rejoice "with joy unspeakable and full of glory." Their joy is like the joy of the glori-fied in heaven—it is the same in kmd, though dif-ferent in degree. And this joy, the product of the Spirit, is an antepast of the joy of heaven. The spiritual life which now animates beUevers is the foretaste of eternal life.- The beginning of holiness in the soul here is an antidpation of the perfect hoUness of heaven. The love which glows in the heart now will, in the upper world, npen into ser-aphic ardor. I t is tho Holy Spirit who produces the joy, the life, the holiness, and the love referred to. The Spirit is, therefore, the earnest of our hea-venly inhentance. He gives us now a part ol that the whole of which we are ere long to receive. In giving us enough of our inheritance to answer the purposes of our minority he sacrcdly pledges him-self that we shall have all when we attain our ma-jority. He is the earnest ot our inheritance,

R N . T H E DCTIEA OP IXORVIDCAL ENAISTIASS A.ND

CHUHCNES IX ^-LEW OF TEE F A N TIUT THEY AP.E TEM-PLES OP THE HOLT SPIRIT. - *

1. They shm.U cidtivaie a teme nf cmstant de-pendance on ihe Spirit.

They are dependent, and they honor the Spirit by admitting and feeling the fact The same agency which originates divine life in the soul must sustain and perpetuate its existence. The Aiiostlc Paul said to the Ephesians ' Grieve not the Holy Spint of God whereby ye are scaled to the day of redemp-tion." In condescension to our weakness the Spirit is respresented as susceptable of grief. And how can we grieve him more than by failing to cherish a sense of entire dependence on hio agency? '-Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of ha-ts," is a doctrine which the Bible «Tery where teaches.

2. Thry should cultivate holiness of heart. The Spirit loves to dwell in a holy place. No

polluted habitation invites his presence. The im-pure heart repels him. The Son of God to whom the Spirit was given without measure, laid, '-Bless-ed are the pure in hearL ' Christians should take care lest they indulge feelings and cherish purposes inconsistent with purity of heart. They should keep their hearts with all diligence. They should c rndfy every '-inordinate affection"' and ' perfect holiness in the fear of God."

3. They shoidd exhibit holiness of hfe. They say that the Spirit dwells in their hearts,

but their hearts are invisible. How can it be known that he dwells there unless the holiness of the life indicates his presence? The world will judge of the state of the heart by the life; and it is the proper way of judging. The life must be conformed to the divine word—the irard of the Spirit. He who is a Christian inwardly must be a Christian outwardly. Professions of internal piety amount to nothing in the absence of external conformity to the will of God. If the Spirit of God dwells in our hearts let the fact be shown by the obedience of our lives.

4. They must guard the purity of Ihe Churches. Every Church of Christ is the temple of God and

the Spirit of God dwells in it. I ts members must guard its puri ty by rejectmg unworthy applicants for membership, and by expelling those who dis-honor their pro fession. To take the unworthy into church fellowship or to retain them in fellowship is to defile the temple of God. Their presence pol-lutes his holy place. A Church of Christ is the proper place for regenerate persons, but it is the most inappropriate of all places for the unregene-rate. No one ought to belong to a visible Church of Christ on earth wlm is not morally fitted for membership in the church triumphant in heaven. The discipline of most churches is very lax. H we would enjoy the approbation of the Head of the Church we must withdraw from every brother that walks disorderly.

P I I T U N i e i l T ' S a r c D T OP BAPTISM

" n AR from it, my dear sir. It .s not long since I X stood just where you are standing now. I know from sad espenonce with how much difficulty the light of truth makes its way thiough the mists and fogs by which o n e s early education has sur-rounded him, and how slowly it dispek the clouds and darkness of long-established prejudices. I t is rare indeed to find any one educated as you were and accustomed as you have been, from childhood' to think that whoever might be wrong, the Presby-terians must be right, yet exhibiUng the candor to acknowledge error, and the conscience to repudiate it so soon as it shall be clearly seen. I hope you will not refrain from expressing even the shadow of of a doubt if it keeps your uund from seeing dear-ly the way of Christian duty as required in God's word. What was the next case on yoar memoran-dum?

It was that of CorneLus and his friends. Peter says, who shall -forbij water ' ' .\nd it seemed to me more natural for hiui to use this expression, if -the water was to be Irmi^kt to sprinkle them, than if they were to be taken to the water to be dipped in it.

But. replied Mr. Courtney, Peter docs not say. the water L-.XJ to be brought. He only says, who will forbid wafer, (tliat is to be used ra the baptiz-ing of these people.) It was simply equivalent to saying, who will forbid their baptism? But the water might have been brought to immerse them. What would hinder it? I was present once when a Baptist minister said to the sexton of the church, .-•Let water be brought for the baptism uf six per-

settle it by a figure of spcech-a diance allusion, or compansMi. The fanciful must be governed by the actual. This is self-evident. Now. we have seen and settled that the literal meaning of this word is to immerse. And henceforth, whenever and wherever we find it figuratively employed, the allusion must be in some way or other to immer-sion or some circumstance attending immersion. On this alone wiU its beauty and appropriateness as a figure depend.

Now, remembering this, let us examine the case in hand. The aUusion cannot be to "the pouring,'' which itself is but a figuro-for no literal and ac-tual pouring of the second person of the Trinity couU occur. The allusion was not to the manner of the Spir i fs coming, but to the copiousness, abun-dance, and ovenvhehning nature of his influences: fiUing, overflowing, surrounding, and, as it were, swallowing up their souls. The Gfeeis often used the word baptized in this wav; as baptized in debt, baptized in afllictioa, baptized in wine, (that Ls overcome of wine,} baptized in iniquity, or a.s we would expressit smJc ininiquity. We use the word immerse in the same way when we say of one that he is immersed in dissipation—immersed in busi-ness—immersed ia politics and the like—we simply mean by such expressions that the dissipation, bu-siness, or politics, controls and occupies all the powers and capacities of the man. We do not mean to say.that they were poured oa him, or sprinkled on him, but only that they exert an overwhelming influencfc over him. And j ust in this sense He told the disciples they should be immersed in the Holy Ghoi^t.

I thank you, Jlr. Courtney, for that lucid expo-sition. I can hardly understand how the matter came to be so mystified m my mind as it has been till now. I will not trouble you with but one other case, and that is where the Israelites are said (1 Cor. IC: to have been "all baptized unto Moses in the doud and in thesca. ' If this was an immersion you must admit that it was a vcrj- dry one, for the Scnptare says expressly they went through on dry ground.

Certainly, I will admit that it was a dry immer sion, for it was a fi^native. and not a real one.— The baptism of the iloly Spirit, which we were just speaking of, wis a dry immersion. The baptism m

sons this OTening' - w o u l d you deny that those six , soifcnugs, which Jesus spoke of sn touchingly to persons were to be im,ru.rscd! In n.-cording the | James and John, was a dry immersion. The figure event, I might have said, the water was brought, j in.<iiher case was not in the wetting, but m the and they were baptized—for they Wdre actually im- overwhelming abmidance of the spirit in one, and mersed in a tank prepared for the purpo-se under of sorrow in the other. The allusion in this casci.v

I>ear~is . .Wg to solvation is a change of in the State. "IVfarSj f f i t i n E B r ^

w R. R. J . BRECKINRIDGE, ono of the most decided Presbyterians in the United States,

and one of the greatest men in the world, says, in his litG letter to Mr. Seward, of Now York, that if a cert.iin contingency occurs, the tree friends of thfr L'nicn will "baptize the instituiioas of the country in the blood of traitors."' I quote from mrracry, Qot havirg Ihe letter bi fore me. I know Dr. B. a « s the word ' hcj-.lizc," and the pbraic,' "in the blood of traitors."

The term baptize ha of course employs figura-tively. There can be no. literal baptism of our lle-publicat! institutions: The force of the expression

ind it is very strong—arises from the fact that baptize means to immerse,. Hotv tanra it would be to say,''-Sprinklc tlic_ InsUtutJoM of the country with the blocl of tr«i'.or<«, OT pour t h e blood of trait'ors on the iiati'tutron.Vof the coantpyi" but to immerse the iMtiloti j i i i .country in the blood of tr i i tois la j i r t suehan eipression as Dr. B. wish-ed to employ., He uiteniied to cjnvcy tho idea that in a twta in event the eocmios of bur insiitutiona woold bo d c ^ y e d with so d r e s d M s s l augb te i^ tha t tiieit ,BIooa.iw«jld.ilow so copiously—as J o j B ^ y the ^ n g figure of baptizing hi the blood of t n r i t o ^ BBfrtlus use of the v^ rd baplize ia a fignrative s e n » i s deCensible "only oa the suppoai-tjoji thal.tKe w o r d , T 5 f « ^ j means, to . i i amerse .^ S p r i ^ TS idood-^ponria blood—will,not d a ^ b n t

the floor of the church. Now, if one of the dea-cons had exclaimed, I forbid the water to be brought fur the baptism of these candidates, you must (had you been present and n.-asoncd a.s you do upon this pas.sagB,| have conclu.le J that it was sprinkling, and not immersion at all. which was spoken of.

I dm satisfied. Mr. Courtney, and do uot see any thing in my next case, (which was that of Lydia and her household.) that has not already been dis-posed of. I was gomg to object that there was no-thing said about change of apparel and going to or coming from the water, but I acknowledge that when I read in a Baptist paper that forty converts were baptized one Sabbath muming. I do not doubt they were immersed, and yet I never see a word said about the clothing they wore, and often noth-ing about the place where the rite was performed So I will pass to the Ja i lors Baptism. Acts 16: 33 The only difliculty here is. that aa he was baptized in thl' jail. i t is very improbable that it was by im-mersion. since it is not likely there was any con-venience for an immersion in an Eastern prison.

Suppose, Professor ,Iones, that you should read in a newspaper that "The poor wretch who was last werk sentenced to death for the murder of old Mr, Gripall, had made a profe.ssion of religion aud had been baptized by Elder J . R. Graves, the editor of the Tennessee Baptist '—would you imagine that Mr. Graves had sprinkled him! Not for one mo-ment: you could easily believe that the water was brought, and the immersion was done in the mur-derer's cell, even though not a word was said about the bringing it. As the jailor was master of the prison, could he not have water brought, had it been needful?

But the truth is, the baptism was not done in the jail. Read the passage carefully. He sprang into the prison, and he brooght the Apostles oct of it, (30th verse.) Some say he only brought them out of the inner prison. I say he brought them out of that, and into hia own house, for Olid versed they spoke the word of the Lord to all that were m his house. He took them into his family apartments, and there they preached the word.

And then (verse 33d) he took them some where else where he washed their stripes and was himself tmptized; and then (34th verse) he brought them back into his house, and set meat before them. You see, therefore, that it was not .done in the prisoB, though if it had been, it would have been no proof that it was not immersion.

I wonder, said Mr. Jones, that I had never seen the case in thia hght before. Now, smco I have observed it carefully, it is all very plam; and I have found no other instance where the" w n ^ y i e htu-its literal sense, and which p r ' ' " which havi<i.-,vuion wo wishto see placed in the

not so much to the act. as to one of the attendant circumstances. They did indetd go down into the sea, Ui one goes down into the water to l>c baptized The water stood on each siJt of them and the clou'i covered them—so iliatthcy migh' very appropn&le-ly and brautifully be said, in a figure, to be immers-ed in the cloud and ibe sea. But the chief allusion is to another and altogether difierent circumstance. As the Christian by going down into the baptivma' water professes his belief in Christ, and takes upon himself a solemn obliiatiun of obedience to ihe law^ of Christ, So the Jews, Paul says, by going down into the sea. and walking Lrntath the cloud, pro-fessed their faith m Moses, ami took ujion them ob-ligauonsof obedience to him. They wer« thus bap tized into Moses. ' The main allusion is not to the act, but to the obligatioi, of the ordioancc. Would the figure be any c.-ore IwauiifiJ. or any mere ap propriate. if we should say that they were all sprink led into Mosis, or were all poured into Moses?

Profe i^ r Stuart, on this pa!,sage. rays, ' Tht -suggestion has sfimetimts been made that the Is-raelites were sprinkled by the cloud and by thesca. and that this was the bapli.-m which Paul meant, but the cloud was not a rain cloud, nor do we find any intimation that ibe waters of the, lied Sea sprinkled the children of Israel at that time. '

It seems to me, said Thecdosia, that the idea of rain is absolutely precluded—for if it had rained upon them to any extent, the ground would have been wet. but it says expits-fly they went through on dry ground.

That would seem to set the matter at rest, Theo. If it were uot that the Psalmist evidently speaking of this very occasion, (Pta. 77: 17, 18.) says ex-prcEbly the clouds poured out water.'the skies sent out a sound, thine arrows also wcLt abroad; the voice of thy thunder was in the heaven, the hght-nings lightened the world, the earth tren.bled and shook.

But the Psalmist does not say. Uncle, that these terrible manifestations of Almighty power were di-rected against the Jeiss—ihiy went over dry shod. To thim all was hght and pcacc. But the doud went and stood behind thim, and uoubled their enemies, the Egyptians. The thunder and the lightmng and the great storm of rain were upon them, while the Israelites ^wcre passing on dry ground.

Well, Theodosia, I give it np. I have no longer any ground to stand upon; and I may as well admit at oncc. that Immersion is Ike only act which is any icherc in the Bible called a Itaptii-m. I have. I think, now examined every place that could tlirow any Ttu^ * ~ ' . -lad really I can't find even

I can't yet speak so confidently, rejoined her Uncle. I t may be, something will yet turn up to show the matter in some other hght. I must u k e more time to consider, and this reminds me that we have not yet examined the history of the ordinance to see whether it is true in fact that sprinkling has been substituted for immersion, or whether, after all, it was not immersion that was substituted for sprinkhng. I am under the impression that these Baptists are the same sect that sprung, np about tne time of Luther and the Reformation—sometimes called Anabaptists, but more frequently the mad men of Munster. I grant I have not investigated the subject very carefully, but I am certian I have somewhere seen or heard their origin in Europe traced back to that occasion, and in this country I have been told they owe their beginning to Roger Williams, who was not properly baptized himself, and consequently could not give valid baptism to any one else. Am I not right in these conjectures, Mr. Courtney?

Mr. Courtney did not reply until after he had taken out his watch and observed the time of night It is too late, said he, to answer that question and others which will be suggested by it, to-night Sup-pose we postpone the further consideration of the subject till another time.

Very well, said Theodosia, who felt that she had suJicient food for one day's reflection in what had already passed. Come round, both of yon, to mor-row night. Come early and take supper with us, and meantime, Mr. Courtney, you may leave thi.s great armfull of old books. May be, I will indulge my womanly curiosity by reading their titles. I don't believe I shall have much relish for their con-tents, unless they should be vastly more attractive than their external appearance indicated. Why, some at them look as though they might be a hun-dred and one years old.

Old documents are sometimes very valuable, said he, especially in such a discussion as we are to have to-morrow night. You will be more interested in chem than you imagine.

From the Poatiiem Baptiat Kcviaw,

rrisdl.-tan'i Rortew of Sammera an Baptlam.

W e come to one of the Greek criticisms of Dr . S. He says, " W h e n eis denotes into. It is used before the noun as well as Kefoie he verb " The a rgumen t based on this t ate-

m.-ni is that eis is used but oncn in A'-ts -viti: P h ' h p and the eunuch did not go into,

but only to the water, and thp conciU.sio" is that " t h e eunuch wa» not immersed . " pp 100, 101. W e hope t h a t n o copies of Dr . S. 's book will find their way across the At lant ic , for we do not wish the risibility of Europeai. linguists excited by any such sp c i m m s ot Aniericnn s ' -bokrsh 'p . Did Dr . S ever reaJ ih». goi^pel of Maihew in Greek'? If so. ht knows thnt in the second chapter , verses 11, IS:, 13, 14. 20, 21, 22. we have the phra >.-« ' into the house, ' ' m ' o their own country . '

into Egyp t , ' ' i n to the land of Israel , ' and . .nto the parts of Galilee, ' He knows alsc tli-t f i i is translati-d iniu in all these places, and tha t it is used but once before the nouns and not before the participles and verbs at all If then the statement ol Dr. S, is true in re

ard to eis the 'wise men ' did not ijo ' into the house, ' did not re turn ' i m o their own coun-t ry , ' Joseph was not required to ' f lee into E g ^ t , ' <fec. Again , if tlie philology of Dr. -•i is worth anything, the devils referred to, Matthew viii: 31, 32, did not enter inio thn swine, and the swine did not run ijilo the sea, und the keepers of the swine did not go 'in-to the city," verse 33 In all these places ei» IS used bu t once. I t seems also that th> Savior in Malt, ix : 17, did not speak of putting wine iTito bottlrs, but only io bottles, for eii i-used but once. Will Dr . S. explain how the new wine ' could break the 'o ld bot t les '

without being put into them ? Once more it is said. Matt , x x v : 46, " And these shall go

away into everlasting punishment, but the right eous tnfo life e t e rna l . " Here , also, eis is useH but once, and according to Dr S. the wicked do not go into 'ever las t ing punishment , ' &c. Wha t a s t range word this litde eis is, if what Pedobaptists say of it is true. I t will take a man into a house, into a ship, inio a country, in-to a city, into heaven, into hell—into any place in the universe except the wa te r ! Poor word! afflicted, it seems, with hydrophobia . I t will allow a person to po to the water , but forbids his going into it. But laying irony aside, we say that Greek writers often ti«e eis twice to express the idea of entrance into a place— once in composition with the verb, and once before the noun or p ronoun—and they often use eia but oncc to express the same idea of entrance into a place. The man who does not know this, is not a Greek scholar, and is incompotcn to write bod i s on Baptism. By the way, it ha.s over been a mortification to u s ih.nt otir fr iend. Dr. Rice, in the Lexington Debate blundered so egrcgionsly on this p o i n t

We hope the day will come when Pedobap-tists will unders tand Greek bet ter than they now do.

WHAT IS NEGESaARILT SKSnBTa TO ACTHOMa AJt rSDITIDCAL TO BBCnVB A OOSPZL lOKMini?

OOXCLnDXD. THE Pulpit, in view of ita appointmeril, must

either prove the Panacea (ao to speak) or buia of •-he world.

And here we might ask, Who ia anffident for these things?

Revelation answers, tion/; but all-Eiiflideoey most come from God. He directed its purposei and girn energy to its effort*. Well might every incumbent pause and ask himaelf the question, ia my aufflden-cy from God? Do I preach Christ and him cmcifl-ed from love? Do T preach him from motires and feelings, such as moved that great Apnctle, when he exclaimed, "JToe ismtif I prtaeh nM th4 gos-pel "

These are Important qnestfona. Slany things, v e would remark, necaswrily liava

to be taken into oonsideration, in determining what is a CDJ? to the Gospel Ministry. It is not aoffirient, that an individual feels an active and lirely interest in religion, a strong desire to see the interest of Christiani'y prosper, and the dominion of sin de stroycd, and the banners of Christianity plantad in victory upon its crumbling battlemeiita.

Feelings like these are common to all trna Chris-tians. All woold join in ascribing praiae in the highest to God and the Lamb, coold the light of that day burst upon their enraptured viaon.

The first thing to be determined la, what is the ministry? The second. What does it taka to con-stitute a call to the mini,stry? And the third. What are the qualifications requisite to tb« diachar^ of the duties of the ministry?

Each of these points should be deliberately de termined, by every applicant, before be aasumeathe insignia of that holy office.

The respoTttibihties asid wonderful isanes involv ed in the pulpit, and its functionB, onght to be well weighed and marured. No step ahotUd be taken unless directed and lianctioned by that light that comes from above.

God was the author of the nin^e, and He mnst direct how and by whom it shall be filled. If tiie pulpit IS entered hastily, its energies are progtiate, and its ^flbrts powerlegg. because miadirected.

It should be a maxim, to he adhered to, -In all instances, that a preparation both of hrart and head are estentiaUy necessary to an efBdent roiniFtiy,

No one can perform the puuderous and multifur duties of the pulpit, and succes.-fullT promote the "••use of Christianity, with a head powasing no brains. There is an abgolnte necessity that t i e mind be cultivated and trained to think—to think intensely. And he who will enter the pulpit and not stody, ia a usurper, and ought to be expellrd fnom it.

I do not bdieve that God ever intended that the oversight of his church should be committed to men who are tno Izay U> iinproTr that intellect with which he has gifted them. Such a thing would be an anomaly in all his divine arrangements and de-crees.

A minister must be fully competent for all the emergendea and obligations of the pulpit.

The inspu-ed pensman in treating upon thi,>i sub ject remarks, among other qnahfications, ' He mnai be apt to teach," This evidently implied that he muBt be able to instruct—able to expound—ab)a tn demonstrate the great truths of ChristiMity. Bui for want of space we cannot prosecute the investi gation of this point further, ibwigh we would glad-ly do it, deeming it. we do, an important feature in the Divine Economy. So we will dismiss it by inviting at'ention to the 3d chapter of 1st Timothy where the subject is fully discussed.

Again, it seems fromth light of revelation thongh one may possess all the qualifications that have been previously mentioned, yet. it is necessary that he be set spart or designated to the sacred werk of the ministry, by prayer and the laying on of bands— This seems to have been invariably the pracuoa of early Christiana, as we find upon consal'adon of the Sacred Record, (Acts 10: 3; 1 Tim 4: 4 ) Now i' does not seem that ^ s creaud this oiSoa, but was only l a t i n l to it.

The prinriple object of ordination seems origin-ally to have been intended to guard tha pulpit againK bad cfciracter, to protect it from those whose ministration might be denominated more deadly than the poisonona breaths of the fabled -'Upai."

The immortal AposUe in writing to his own son in the faith, uses this language, "Lay hands sndden ly on no man"—lay handa only on those whoae cearacters are firm—whoso motives are commenda-ble—whose pnrposcs are thorooghly matured— "Holding fast tlie faithful word as he bath been taught, or "tn teaching:,' (aa rendered in the margin) that he may bo able by sound doctrine both to ex-hort and convince the gainsaycra." From this we would conclude that it is not alone suffldcnt that one be possessed of acknowledged parts and bright talents—it is not alone sulBdent that one's feelings scrm to be zealously enlisted in the cause of Chris-tianity So, if he be not soimd in the faith, let him alone, we wonld rejieai it, let him alone—lest one be promoted whoiie promotion wonld cripple the energies of the Cliurch, and prxuvo a bane to those prindplea h d d near and dear.

As union in Christian fcding and Cfaristiia effort is valued—as a ministry umforcily canformcd to and illustraiivo of the doctrines of the Bible is valued, let the interosta of the pulpit bo carefully watched. Aqd not only mnst they bs m m who are sound in doctrinc, but they must also be men whose character is irrcproached and irreproachaUo. Let them be men white walk OIustiateB their pro-fession—whoso conduct and example will teadi the world that there is rc»5ty in religion.

Dr. Lynil and Mr. CarapliclL

T h e December number of the Harbinger contains Dr . Jfpid's recent letter f published in the ''Pwocord-ar" and '^Baptist'^ to Jlr. Campbdl and Mr. O.'s n p l y . Dr . Lynd, i t will be remembered, endorsed the fidlowMg artffile in Mr. C. 'a creed; - I believe in the jastificatitHi of a sinner by f i i th . without the

^ deads of the law, and of a christian, not b y faith alone, but b y t h e obetUence of faith."

A t t « i i n g to these terms and phrases their ordi nary irnncrt wo see nothing objectionable in them. Dr. L y u ^ i t appears, was led h j something he saw i n the August nnmher of the Harbinger to doubt whether Mr. Campbell bd ieves i a the justification of a s inner b y la i th alone. Hence he wrote the letter referred to, sLatjng that a s inners jusrifica-t i c n b y laith alone i s a cherished doctrine wi th the Baptists, Sss^ and calling on Mr. Campbell to ex-plain. Mr. C- reponda in a letter of about four pages in w h i ^ he tells his readers that he preached frequently for Dr. Stanghton in 1H15 and 1816. He tells them divers other thhigs, but i f he tells them that a sinner is justified when he b r i e v e s in Christ I have ovrrlooked it.

I have long thought that Mr. Campbell, when he w i a h a to do so, can keep farther from a point it becomes him to elucidate than any m a n of t t o gen eiation. He has a great deal of circumlocutory talent, and he employs i t so ingeniously that his admirers often think he has explained a matter when all the while h e has kq i t at a respectful dis-tancefrom i t Mr. Campbell will have to write again before Dr. L y n f s qtiestions will bo answer-s i .

The moat important point is. Whether a siimer is Justified b y faith, the jtrstification being a prere-quisitB to baptism! This query admits a mono-HjUabic answer—Yes or No.

l i ons vife and loathsome, and the Uke of that. Yet there are those bearing the Baptist name and occu-pying h igh positions in the denomination as minis-ters and professors of C:Uegei, i t may be, who would not only let a fearless advocate of the truth sink under such imputations, but wculd even place their foot upon his head to sink him, in order to please Pedobaptists- and they will oppose the pas-sage of resolutions designed to support a denomina-tional editor on the pU-as of expediency, policy, Christian courtesy, Ac., or that they have discover-ed, or fear they have, that the controversy is not conducted, or the book written, in a Christian spirit

very indeffinite plea. The fact is, not one in a thousand understand what a Christian spirit is, they have been so mistanght by whining, c int ing compromisers. A Christian spirit i s evidently the spiritof Christ. To exhibit a Christian spirit in ex-posing error and eirorists, would be to exercise the same spirit Christ exhibited when he rebuked the teachers of error in his day—the spirit that Paul exhibited when he exposed the false teachers of his day. W e can only judge of this sp int from the language used by them.

This is the spirit o f Christ, as manifested by his language, when he reproved those characters—cor-respondmg to our modem Popes, Prelates and Meth-odist Bishops—who assumed the impious preroga-tive to make laws and traditions for men's observ-ance—to rule men .

'-But w o unto you, scnbcs and pharisces, hypo-crites! for y e shut up the kingdom of heaven against men--'

•-Wo unto you, scribes and phansees, hypocrites! for y e compass sea and land to make one proselyte: and when ha i s made, y e make him two-fold more the child of hell than yourselves."

' -Wo unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! for y e are like unto whited sepulchrcs, which indei-d appear beantiful outward, but within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleannesss. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but

the lamb. This I think can be easily accounted for on the ground tliat m y parents (between them and n)6 a distance of many miles is stretched, and from whom go up d i ' l y and hourly prayer for their ab-sent boy.) are supporters of Mr. Campbell, and the reflections which your paper has seemingly cast on him, have l ikewise brouj:ht them beneath their sha-dow. I professed religion among the Methodists. Thsir eamc.st prayers in my behalf, their songs of praise, arc still heard by me, and their smiling faces sll around me when I felt m y soul taken from the wreck caused b y sin will forever be before the eyes of m y reflection. My indignation has been kindled into flames on account of your rough expressions in rcrfk-Tcnce to their heterodoxy. As to confess openly is far better than to persi.st in an error mere-ly becausc one has commenced in it, I c o n O ^ that the error was in me—I did not discriminate between denouncing an inoividual and denouncing the doc-trines to which he may hold. I have read to-night the adjustment of the difficulty between you and Dr. Jonc?. I no longer doubt your Christianity, as Christianity alor.e could have prompted you and him to m.ake such concessions, bury your animcsty, and regard cach other as Christians.

H E following w e transfer from tte Baptist Wa'lchmah, edited by Elder Matt. Hillsman,

Knoxville, Tcnnesseo. Brother II. understands Campl)eUism. and he has no disposition, thank God, to afBlliate with it—to cultivate the favor of Mr. Campbell, or his followers—aad hence he speaks right out in such a clear and forcible w a y as makes our very heart throb with admiration and grati-tude.

Brother Scars is certainly to be pitied—he has fallen between two fires. No man ever ye t made so lame an attack upon Campbellism, or, if a sound Baptist himself ever evinced so impcrfect knowl-edge of what the system is. He has won already the contempt of Mr. Campbell and the unaBected pity of all Baptists who have seen his articles. Yet thin is the reviewer who, not knowing what Camp-bellism is, or knowing what i t Is, is more than half a Campbellite himself, attacks the work of one of the purest Baptists who ever lived, under the pitia-ble pretence that it teaches Campbellisml! A r e -viewer who, knowing'y or unwittingly endorses far more than half the system of Campbellism himself, atfects to raise his hands in holy horror at Peter's language when found in a valuable History of the Baptist Church, and that, too. with the manifest in-tention to keep that book from being circulated— because it teaches that the Baptist Church has stood since the days of the Apostles, and is the only ex-isting community entitled to tho appellation of Church of Christ.

But read Elder Hill-sman's opinion of Elder Sear's statement of the difference between Baptists and Campbellites:

CAsirBELLiTKs \sr> Baptist . - ; . -Elder sears, one of the editors of the Western Recorder, ijuoting the following paragraph from a Campbellite paper, says, ' the writer in the above extract shows, according to our opinion, the only real and substantial and es. sential doctrine- of the Bible in which the Reform-ers as a body differ from the Baptists. Hcr» is the paragraph:

Gth. ' In preaching to tinners the Baptist declare that justification or remission of sins is enjoyed by faith alone: that as soon as a sinner believes m Christ his sins are pardoned. The Disciples declare it is not only necessary for a sinner to believe in the

"But there be some that trouble yoc ," alluding to the judiciary teachers, who professei to be Chris-tian brethren, "and to come down from the first Church at Jerusalem, and would pervert the gospel of Christ."

Slark Paul's cour e?y towards these ' brethren!"' '^But though w e or an angel from heaven preach

another gospel unto you, than that we have prcach-ed unto j o u , Ut kim be accurscd."'

Is i t net as -vricked, and are not those as deserv-ing of the condemnation of all who pervert the gos-pel to-day, as were thofe professed teachers who perverted it in Paul's dayf Does not infant bap-tism pervert the gospel cf Christ, and endanger souls? Our Doctors of Divinity tell us so." Does not the change of the ordinance of God's house, subvert the order of the Church of Christ, and sub-stitnte the traditions of men fcr the commands of Jesus l and subjugate Christians to tlie government of men—masters and clerical rulers, instead of Jesus Christ?

These false teachers, as false teachers do to-day preached drctuncision, as in force in the Christian Church, and to be observed among Christian duties, and so do Pedobaptist ministers, and therefore teach aud impose the rite of Infant Baptism, claiming that baptism has come in the room of circumcision. How did Paul treat them—call tlwm brethren, and invite them to preach irith him? Hear him:

'•I would they were even cut off. which trouble you." Gal. 5: 12.

Oh, that God would raise up a host of raini-sters having the spirit of Christ, and daring to exercise the faithfulness of Paul!

John the; beloved disciple, the Apostle of IOLC. gives this advice to the elect lady, that she might the most effectually preserve her children from the false teachings, conversation, and inlluecce of false teachers:

"If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctiino. receive him not into your house, neither bid U m God speed—for he that biddtth Gcd spccd. i s partaker of his evil deeds.'' . This i s somewhat severer than the advice of the Old Landmark, against which so m u c h holy horror has been expressed by our learned Doctors and titled leaders, le.st the feelings of false teachers m i g h t b e kiut!

"We would give this advice to-day to every brother and sister in the wide land. AVhy recdve false teachers into your families, into familiar and daily intercourse, to corrupt and mislead your children? I f y o u wi sh your children to become tTniversahsts. Unitarians, Spiritualists, take such into yonr house to associate -with your children, or if you wish them to become Catholics, take a Jesuit into your house, or send yonr children to Catholic Echools. If w e want our churches and congregations corrupted by a false charity and false doctrine, take the preach-ers of fidse doctrines and sys tems into our pulpits ot preach to and teach as !

Oar severest controversialists fall far short of im-i ta t ing the spirit of Christ, because too soft, too courteous, too.compromising. They recognize as brethren the very high priests of error, the veriest apostles of false doctrine—the most eminent per-verters of the gospel o f Christ, and the subverters of the Church of the living God!

WOCLI) it bo Scriptural and right for a Regular Baptist Church to receive members from the

Winne Brenariin Church on their previous baptism-that is to say, the baptism received m their former connection! '

Wadet'^n. I'o . . V * . 6. Rkmarits.—Our opinion is reqnostcil, and we are

willing to give it. W e should be wholly averse to the recognition of such baptisms, from our knowl-edge of this new sect that has had an ecclesiasti.-al existence of only twenty-five years!

1. It is not a Church of Christ, but a kingdom set up by Mr. Winnebrenner in Pennsylvania in the year a partial reformation of the ' fler-man Reformed Church"'— ( Pedobaptist.) Mr. Win nebrenner practices immersion, to be sure, but who baptized him? We doubt if he was ever scriptur-ally baptized, and if so, he is now a sthi.'rnn'ic.— Neither he nor his ministers are authorized to ad-minister the ordinance of the Church of Christ.

2. Mr. (Yinnebrenticr's Societies are not Churches of (Christ, because they are not organized according to the Scriptural pattern—they arc at best but semi-Pnabytcrial—in government.

o. His Societies are not Christian Churches, be-cause tliey hold not the "Apostles' doctrine'' — but the faitli of a man -Armimans—and for this rea-son, if for no other, Baptists can have no church fellowship with them, or recognize them as regular Churches of Christ, which they would do. shouLi they receive their ordinances as valid.

We say, with reference tu Mr. Winnebrenner'.s Societies as we do concerning Mr. A. Campbcll'.s. that we i-au have nothing to do with them—they art sccts and scliisms—aud their founders and l<«d-ers schismatics. If we can receive their followers into our churchcs upon the baptisms received in such sects, then we can hold open or free commu-nion with such sccts and .sectaries—then would it be proper and nght for Baptist Churches to unite with such, and give up their own organizations.— We lay it down as a (ixed princiiile that Baptist Churches can receive the baptism of no Society with which it cannot commune, and with which they may not unite, giving up their own church organiza-tions.

We have the utmost confidencc in the orthodoxy ! triumph which they thought they ha l already gain-of Brother Stars, and regard him as a firm and con- ! ed. sistent Bapsist, having as little fellowship for the errors of Campbellism as any other brother in or out of Kentucky. But we must say (hat Elder Sears, in our view it misapprehends Campbellism. We have lived in the midst of these people, heard their preachers in pulpit and private, and have read the writings of their Doctors and scribes from Alexan-der Campbell down to Mr. Eurguson, and we regard the mere btlit f that a man must '-be baptized be-fore he can enjoy the forgiveness of sin," as among the most unimpor tant differences between the Bap-tists and Reformtrs. If a man'-sincerely repent.s of sins-'' and ••believes in the I-iOrd Jesus Chnst,'' according to baptist views he receive.s pardon of sin and ought to be baptized, because he has been par-doned- According to Campbellite views, he must • believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and sincerely re pent of his sins," but unlike the Baptists he thinks that Pardon is not completed, and i.s baptized as the con.sumating act. But if the Baptist is right the ("ampbfllitc was pardoned whenever ho repented sincerely and believed in tho Lord Jesus Christ, whether he believeil it or not.and his being bap-tized to consumate that which has already been con:pIcted. is comparatively a harmless mistake.— If that wore >11 we might afford to gratify the whim or the sake of peace.

But the Campbclhte error is more fundamental and rcaches further back than this. Mr. Camybell starts wrong and only now and then crosses ihe paih of truth throughout his system. He is wrong in his doctrine of kunnn depravity, wrong in his views of regeneration and the work of the spirit.— wrong as to what failh and rrpcniance are. He u.scs terms that baptists use but he means something else by them. By this means he has deceived many with his sophistry. The wliole thing is a system of deception, -Mr. Campb<ll has transformed himself by the peculiar use of terms, into an angle of liglit, and deceived some of the very elect themselves.— To talk of narrowing down the distance between Campbellism and the Baptists is an a b s u r d i t y . -There can as soon be an amalgamation of light and darkness as Baptists and Campbellites. Campbell-ites may sooner or later become Baptists, but it will be by the blotting out of CumpbclUsm, the destruc-tion, root and branch of all that is peculiar to Campbellism.

W e have been utterly astonished at wise men and Baptists laboring to see how far they can en dorse Campbellism. For our part we caimot sep ani te the system, it is a whole, and even the tmth that may Ite held or is incorporated into the system, if It is essential to it, is pe;vcr(td, and if it is not tssenhcl to the system, it is no part 'of Campbell ism. Satan holds to many truths, but we cannot endorse any thing for his Magesty.

The Jl«id Quarters of Frederiction, in a late issue .speaks of this gentleman as belonging to the Meth-odist denomination. This is a mistake. Mr. Spur-geon is the Tairtor of a B^ptis' church in Scuth-wark, London, of the Calvinistic school- This church long enjoyed the ministry of Dr. Gill and Dr. Rippon, the former presiding over it more than a half century, aud the latter nearly as long. The pastorate of these two eminent men in that one church, is said to have embrased upwards of an hundred years. Since the death of Dr. Rippon, the church had found it impossible to secure the and its advocates the more repulsive and deformed

it appeared, until we have but little less respect for services of a pastor, who gave satisfaction, until this young man, jSpurgeon) entered the field. The London correspondent to Zion's Herald, gives the follotving interesting noticeof this remarkable young m a n : —

"Your correspondent has recently had the privi-lege of hearing a prodigy of genius and eloquence in London, the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, who has jus t attained his majority. Of all the great men in England's metropolis, Mr. Spurgeon is the most pop-

He says, that -Mr. \\'aller clian;, ^ J his views and cor-diallv atliliated with us in every p.art oI* ciiristian doctrine, save, perhaps, the de^ign of Ciiristian Baptism. .-Vud that, a correct version will as cer-tainly confirm, as it"is m a d e ' He reiterates the declaration, and repeats it in the strongest manner, that he has not changeil his views, in a single par-ticular, but says that Mr. Waller endorse^d Lini. He blames those who republish h.s letters, which he insists that Mr. W. had repudiated before his death and says it is publishing Waller the l-oy. against Waller the man.

He says that the CampbeUites are a separate body—a Sect, bceause tlie BaplLsts made them so the the pro auti rcuisionists. Elder Jeremiah B. Je-ter, of the committee of excision has persecuted I

them, [the Campbellites.] even to foreign cities, and when they were o.'^tracised, gave his voice against them." On this subject, Elder -•Vlexamlcr is deci-dedly on the high-falutin" strain; on other topic-s, as cool as the November breeze around Bethany. — ICwicri: Wnt'.hjTUiii.

GE U D J G I S CS are accustomed to t e u h that the earth on irhich w e dwell, must h a t e been in

e x i s t e n c e t h r o u g h a g e s iDCOcdevably remote . T h e v profess to have obeerred certain mark* and signs in the structure and a m n g e m e n t of ao much of its surface, a s is nxposed to the curious g t s e of the s d e i i t i f l e e x p l o r e r , which they think can only be a c c o u n t e d f u r on the suppos i t ion that it w a s crea-ted m i l l i o n s of y e a r s ago.

T h i s ha-s buen a grievous trouble to-many simple minded believers in thnwordof God— for they conld not ivest theioselvas of the conviction that the his-tory of its creation w a s intended to be recorded in the (list chapter of Genesis, and according to the best Bystem of chronology which they conld deduce from the sacred record, the events recorded in that cheapter, transpired not quite six thousand years ago. T h u s the deductiuns of sdeuce, and the teach-ings of Revelation, seemed to be at variance. M a n y learned and laborious eflorts were made b y Chris-tian GeologUts to rccoaciie the apparent discrepan-c y .

T o some mnids the results of these t£forts seem

to have been e u j r e l y ^a^i3^actory. B u t there were

o'-hers, and these a -l ast majority of those nhoso

attention w a s directed to the subject, who remained

in a s u t e of painful suspense. T h e y believetl w h a t

Uud spake in his word, y e t they did not feel com-

petent to set aside the so-called scientific deductions

of ( jcology. T h e lielieved the sacred writer in the

Stoue of the earLl^a crust, and that rtcsived by Mo-

ses, were L^th of God, and both were true, y e t

after all ilie e.vpbnations of the learned, they could

n.it indersiand liow they both could be true.

Tlie rrc.siJent of a B a p t i i t College in one of onr

.S, uthem S-ates, delivered a popular lectoie on the

rehgious beaming of thie .so.calleJ Science of Qe-

oluey ;Slime two years since,} in wluch he present-

the vanous arguments which have been relied npon

by Uiickland, llichcock, H u g h Miller, and others,

to show that there is no actual dilBcully in recon-

ciiiug tac Cieoiugiral and Mosaic reeord, bat while

:on:e were satisSed, m a n y went a w a y sympathiz-

i.ig wiih aa excellent brother in the ministry, who

ix.-laiice.l, a.s he U f t the lecture room, - W i l l not

Kutueone sta.id up for Mo.ses!"

So niuUitudes have felt ia all parts of the world. It ihey Were compe;ied tu grant that the earth had been iu existence couutKss age.s, and had been the .seat of ve.:icai)le and animal life for millions and u;:!ia.;is eif years, then Moses did not give a true a ---oant of its crcation.

M.-.srs leaves the impression on their mind, that the f a n h w a s actually creoled at the time when his hi.story begins. U e J o e s not s a y it w a s then re-n - e J i l e J but that It w a s then c r c i t e d . It is enough to say to t!,em that the Bible i.s a moral revelation, and till refore we are not to Ifiok in it for a true iitateiijeut uf h :'nt-rU facts. T h e y feel instinctively tliat if God .spealis in the Biblo, he will tell the tnith. "--T far as he tells ar.y thing whether in ref-erence tu morals or natural facts. I f it begins with JeC'.ptioa ai i l its very first .sentence is a falsehood. l:.; y have t'-iitb fur all that follows.

It I.s ii'H rii0.i,;h ti> .say to them that the six d a y s of creaiiuii m a y have been periods of indefinite ilarat.'-..!. ea.-h embracing its thousands or millions of years in wluch the earth w a s undergoing a grad-ual and tedious metamorphose to fit it for the resi-lience cf Hi! n. Fer this is not the natural and evi-dent ineaniTig ..f the language which Moses employs-This coiitradi»i.s the tertnil titiies repeated limita-tion of the sacred itself, when it defines the d a y 'by it by the e v e n b g . the mominir.

It is ii'>t enough to say 10 them that the first sen-tence, 111 the beginning Gc 1 creatcd the Heavens and the Earth, "<s to separate from the description uf the creation which follows it, and made to refer t.) a work perfuraie<l some fifty thousand millions of years bcfrrc . For the natural, and t s it seems to

i:nlea-ned .simplicity, the necessary meaning of tl,-. lar-.^uagc that it WiiS thi.s creation, the six l a i s crra'.jon which he goes on todiscribe so briefly yet so Piiautely. and with such sublime and vivid di .s i .ncne 's \r.-h ' ;..>d a."omplished in the begin-'.r.g.

The work b e f ' r e us takes new and much more .sa'i-fa' tory groun^i. Others have granted the vast 2,:e :.f tl;e earth, and only sought to accommodate tiie .^losai- ac-o;mt of it. Mr. I/Ord denies that the f i c t s of Geology j u s t i f y the assumption of a n y greater 3r.ti'[ii;iy to the earths substance than Mo-s l s gives it. T h a t the earth has been so longin ex-isti-ii'-e in .something like its present f o r m — a n d has' U e n the theater of vast change* in the arraBgenieDt of the s t r a t i w h i c h compose its crust, o c c m r i n g a t ra.-t, Dln.o.'it immeasurable intervals of time, he teachcs, is an in.trence not from Geological facts, but f r j m Geological liiconcs. These theories, he p l a i . J y stiows, are not 3 " stained by the facts. T h e y a-e DOt necessary deductions from the facts,- b u t only b y patheses which ingenious minds and active iniagiiiatioDS, have cou'.eived as a po.s.sibIe. perhaps a probable means of explaining tho facts, but which iu m a n y most important particulars, aro clearly and hopefully irrecondlablc with the facts.

T h e views he presents, are to s a y the v e r y least cf ihem. de.scrvingof a careful and attentrre study on tiic part of every man who is ever called upon to defend our faith from the attacks of its enemies, or rcsciie it from the false and dangerous position in

hich it has been placed by the indiscretion of its frier,iLs. The book is arranged in such a manner as to fit it for study in our schools and colleges, and w e devoutly hope it m a y be adopted and studied in every t.'hri3tian Seminary in the land. W e have uot space to go further into the details of the work or to make a n y quotations from its beautiful print-ed pages, and w e hardly deem it necessary, as w e trust all our readers w h o weuld feel much interest in the subject, will procure the book, and not mere-l y read; but study it.

Soma years ago, a frisnd of oura in an oninibas. idmircd a hearty old man who bail a kind word for everybody: and hia kind.wordti were eridcntly considerEd compUmeaU. thnngh spoken in broad Scotch. From some w.irds tliat dropped froia him, he was evidently a man of ana.'roil lalcnt, and a christian. Our friend womlcrwl who he cwJd be. and all the more as the onknown, with the mjst po-Eta attention, gave a poor servant girl some infor-mation she desired, about a Iinase .'ihe had bc.."n told to call at. Who could this laveablc, yet misurions Btrangcr be? It was Dr. Chalmers. The genial old man had room in his large heart for sympathy and kindness to all.

if i n are do to good to all as we have opportunlt y we must abound in kind words. In thi.s roagh world, so full of hardships, trials, and diffli-Tiltics, CfariBtiBna should abound in the graca of kindness. "Oh,' says one, 'kiml words are cheap." So they aro. and so is the light ol heaven, and a cup of cold water; yet these are among the most predons gifts of God.

Passing along the streets the other day, we saw a little child who had trippvd its foot and fallen down. He was crying over his distress. We lift-ed him up, instinctively saying, '-Poor little fellow.' These Bttle words of sympathy were very cheap, hot they brushed away his tears, and shed sunshine over his face again.

The poorest on earth can say a kind word to a struggling brother or sister; and who ean till the good that may be done by a single kind word! It may cheer an inquiring sinner—it may send a faint believer on his way rejoicing. _

She should be firm, gentle, kind, always rtady to attend to her child.

She should never kugh a£ him—at what ha does that is cunning—never allow him to think of his looks, except to be neat and ciean in all his habits.

She should teach him to obey a look—to respect thosa older than himself; she should never make a command, without SL'cing tliat it is performed in the

. right manner. Never spok of the child's faults or fuibles, or re-

peat his remarks before him. I t is a sure way to spoil a child.

Never reprove a child when exdted, nor let your tone of voice be raised when iMrrecting. Strive to inspire love, not dread—rcspect, not fuar. BL-mem-ber you are training and educating a soul for eter-nity.

Teach your children to wait upon themselves, to put away a thing when done with it. But do not forget thai you were once a child. The griefs of the litUa ones are too often neglectcd; they arc great for them. Bear patiently with them, and never in any way rouse thrir angCT, if it can be avoiiled.— Teach a child to be useful whenever opportunity may olTer.

When butter is designed for keeping, it is of the hiehest degree of importance, that it should be worked from all remains of buttermilk. Pure but-ter is an oil which will keep equally i s well a8 laid or tallow. Butter milk, on the contrary contains casein, a nitnigenous compound, which decays soon when in contact with air. Were it possible to re move every particle of buttermilk, and all traces of nnpurities or foreign substai«:c.s. no .salt would be required, oor would it be necessary to pack batter away fwm the air.

In salting butter, the salt itself (h^ old be af the pora t kind, and it ahonid be thoroughly worked in, tli«t e r a j particle of the remaining buttennilk bo left m contact with a particle of salt. A very sim-ple metiud of pTrifying salt for batter and cheese, is to add a pint of boiling water, to fuar or live pomida of ^ t ; stir them well, now and then for an hoararmorr, d r a i n off the water, and hang the an. SsBDlvedaltinafaag todry. (The drainicga may be ased for salting animals, cr patting upon hay.] In this procssa the water dissolves ont the bitter, diaagiwable porticns of tiie salt—the chlorides of magnefflum and r^lrintn—which are more solnble than pore i d t . A Uttle care of this kind is a tboa-n n d remmunted in the sweeter ta.ste and better quality, both of batter and cheese.

BtKD'i Saai PvDDisG.—Pare and quaner tart apples, and place them in a buUered square tin: Uum make batter of three eggs, one cap of cream, half a cap of loar milk, one and a half teaspoons-Ail of iilaratni) and a Utile lalL Pour tho botter over the apples and bake thirty-live minctt*.

tng the many ineonvenjences under which they have labored, they have steadily increased, until they now number about Ibrty .five members.

No church wa. ever blessed with a more efBaent membership. WeU worthy of the name they bear, they are always ready for every good word and worlc.

Though poor in the things of this world, and few in number, they have resolved to concentrate their means, and build for themselves a bouse of wor-ship.

Zsaloua in a good cause, they are deserving of the sympathy and patronage of the Baptist doiomi-nation throughout the South and Wei>t. There is no point on the Jlississippi river- from St Louis to Memphis, of greater importance than Uickman. Its commercial facilities and advantages are un.surpas-.•>ed, and its rapid growth in trade and population clearly indicate it as a desirab'e point at which to plant the standard of the Baptists.

The citizens are intelligent, moral, and industri-ous. . The adjoining county is rich, and occnpicd by a good class of fanners. I think it a place where Baptists should direct their eiloits. It has hitherto been very much neglected by our denomination. Win brethren, then, of the Mississippy Valley, look to the interests of the denomination at this point, and come to their assistance in this time of great need.'

I am sure yoa can do so, with but littls sacriSce, and who would not give five or ten dollars to see a commodious Baptist meeting house erected at Hick-manT Come brethren, come to their assi.stanee! I make this appeal in behalf of this Uttte church, now struggling for existence. Shall I hear the hearty response, '-The hou.«e shall be built."

They h!ive already exhausted their strength, and have received only about thirteen hundred dollars^ but need one thoasand more to complete the build-ing. Will the mighty hosts of &ptists of the States of Tennessee and Kentucky, supinely fold their arms, and disregard the interest of their Mas-ter's cause, and say. ta the brethren at Hickman; "We cannot, we will not help thee." I shall never believe that will be the resjonse, unlil I see that they are repulsed by you withholding from them your as-sistance.

fn^ni the Childna'R Book. Failli Itcwardeil and maJf I'lain.

T r O U h a v e all often heard the ministerprcach X about " faith," and exhort you to ex-

ercise faith in Jesus Christ the Savior. You do not undersLinJ what is meant by cicrcising faith.and I will therefore endeavor to explain it by illustration.'.

a ' little girl was once walking with her father, and they were talking together. They were talking a l«u t being generous. The fath-er told the little girl that it meant to " g i v e to others what would do them good, even if we bad to do without ourselves." l ie al<o told her that generous people were happy, be-cause nobody could deny himself any thing, in order to give it to aDother, without feeling happy—so that to none ever lost any thing by being generous, because (rod would make him happy for doing so. He then a.«ked her if she believed this ? She said. " Yes, father." In the course of their walk they went into « bookstore. The little girl said, " Father, 1

ant one of these new W k s very much."— So do I . " said the father, " b u t I cannot

atford to buy each of us one. But here is some money, and you may do jut t as vou please—yon may buy a book and i;ive it to your father, and go without vour«-!f, or you may buy one for yourself, and I will u'o with-out. Do just as you please." The little girl hani; her head and looked at the n<-w book.s ; but then slie ihought of what her father had said about being yentroui, and -he had faiih in hi." words. Sh^- qui. kly said, " I will gowirb-out, a i d father ^haU hive the br»ik." The book was therefore bought: nnd '.he child felt happy, because she had believrd her fath er, and becatise she had been gn.erous. The bookseller, however, overheard the conversa tton, and was so much pIoaHed at th-^ fnith and generosity of ihe little girl that he gave her a very beautiful book.

This was having faith in her father. But this is not the kind rpoken of in the Bible.— For a child mii'ht believe a father and have a strong faith in him, and yet be towaids God a very wicked child.

Mr. Cecil gives uj^s beautiful account of the manner iu which he taught his litite daughter what is meant by faith. She was playing one day with a few beads, which feemed to delight her wonderftilly. Her whole soul was absorb-ed in her beads. I said;

" My dear, you have some prettv beads there."

" Yes, papa." " And you seem to be vastly pleased with

them." " Yes, papa." " Well, now throw them behind the fire." The tears started into her eyes. She look-

ed earnestly at me, as though ahe ought to have a reason for such a cruel sacriPce.

" Well, ray dear, do m you plea.<!<>; but you know I never told you to do any thing which I did not think would be good for you."

H o w TO WALK i s FAITH .—Abraham is call-ed the father of t h e faithful. His whole life was one of fiiith. Let us see how it prompted bim to act.

God told him that be should be the father of a great nation : that is, he should ba re grand-children and great-erand-children, as many in number comparatively as the sanda on the sea shore, and ks the stars in the firmament; and yet, in the lace of that pro-mise, God commanded him to take bis only son, Isaac, and slay him as a sacrifice I

Children, did Abraham stop to reason about it ? Did he say. " Isaac is my only

ton, and it is impossible for me t ) have any other, and if I slay bim God cannot make me the father of a great nation I No, but the Bible declares that he rose up early in the morning and took Isaac and the knife, ready and will-ing to obey O o d — htl ievxng that his promises would surely be fulfilled, in some wayor other.

(Children, this is loalking by faith. It is trus-ting in what God says, even though all looks dark, gloomy, and mysterious. To be a Chris-

I tian, you must walk by faith instead of s ight ; ! that is. obey God even though you cannot see I what the consequences will be.,

But the objections of our author to immersion are not yet exhausted. Here is another, the nat-ural tendency of which is, as Andrew Broaddus says, to " enlist the corruption of the heart against an ordinance cf Jesus Chri.U." The objection is, that immersion is indelicate. Dr. S. may speak for himself. " Tbe immer-sion of a female by a pewon of the other sex is revolting to us under any circumstances—it must be exceedingly repulsive to the delicate sensibilities of a woman. Yet Lydia was bap-tized by the A j^ t l e—sure ly not immersed f " p. 87. I t is difficult for us adequately to ex-press our contemptuous astonishment at the us-of such language as is here employed. Dr. S. admil.s immersion to be valid baptism.— Why is it valid ? It must be because Christ commands it. Nothing else could make it valid. And Dr. S. in his zeal to prove that baptizo means almost any thing and every thing, allows that it signifies to immerse. Very well. Then Jesus Christ requires au act to be per-formed by hi-i ministers, which, so far as the fe-male sex is concerned, " is revolting to us un-der any circumstances !" is this blasphemy, or what is it ? Dr. S knows that " Wesley, thvvenerablefounderofthe Methodist Church," refers to immersioD as the " ancient manner of baptizing." It seems, then, that the " revolt-ing " act of immersion was performed in an-cient times. Nor is this all. The Metho-dist " Dii-cipline " says, Let every adult per-son, ;ind the parents of every child to be bap tiled, have the choice either of immersion, sprinkling, or pouring." Here liberty is giv-en to choose tbe " r e v o l t i n g " act of immer-sion. Dr. S. knows better i a n to refuse this liberty ; for the same little book says. " A Meth-odist preacher is tomind e ie ry po'int, great and small, in the Methodist Discipline : " There are nonon essentials in the "Discipline," what-ever there may be in the New Testament !— We do not know, but we think it highly proba-ble, that Dr. S. has immersed females—has performed the act which is " rewitiny tu us un-

der any circumntanees.'" However this may be, there are Methodist preachers whu ridicule immersion, and yet administer it for the sake of getting members! They speak disparaging-ly and irreverently of an"act which they pi r torm in the name of J ems Christ ! Th. re is liope of the salvation of such men. because ( io l ' s mnrry is ir.tinue, and for no other rea-son. Wc write in all pl.iinnesi, f.ir we intend to be undenuxxl. With regar.l to the - indeli-cicy and vul;;arily " of iramersu.n. we are will-ing io say III the audience of the world, that the man who briBijs this charge air^mst it is a m m of indelicate nnd vulgar miml. The vnl..rnruy is in the m m even if lie 15 a Doc or of Divinity. There i? no'hing vulgar in the

•Virdinance, and the charge comes with a bad grace from tbi>se whu engraft baptism, on what they would call, we suppose, the delirnle rile of

rtrrumrixion. A Pedohaptist preacher in one of the Southern States ol the Union has ex-pre.-sed the opinion that the immersion of fe-males excites '•libidinous" ftelings mwicked men who witness it. We hesitate not to ex-press the opinion that that preacher is a ••libidi-n o u s " man, and we advise all whom it may concern to keep their wives and daughters at a respectable distance from him.

" Well ," said I, " there let them lie : you shall bear more about them another time— but say no more about them now."

Some days after, I bought her a box full of l a r ^ r beads, and toya, of the same kind.— When I returned home, I opened the treas-ure, and set it before her—the b u n t into teara of ecstasy.

KMer Jnattt P. Kdwarda.

Died of Pneomonia at his residence in the town of LovelaceviUe, Ballard County, Kentucky, on the second day o£ November, 1855, in the 65th year of hia age, Elder James P. £dwards, son of Isaac and Maiy Edwards.

Brother Edwards was bom in Virginia and emi-grated at an early day to upper Kentucky, where he married Hannah Stout, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Stout. In the 19th year of his age, pro-fessed religion, was baptised, and entered the gos-pel ministry the same year. In 1815. moveil to Jackson, Missouri, and in 1822 removed to tbe State of Illinois, and in 1832, rtmoved to McCracken county, Kentucky, where be spent the remnant of his days. Having spent forty-seven years in the ministry, living an he did, all tbe while in newly settled countries, consequently he had to undergo many trials atKl baidshipa which the ministers of the present day ar« strangers to, yet to him, was the Savior's command given, "Go ye and preach my gospel." And in him was tbe promise verified. -Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."

lie was with him in raising a family of nine children, seven sons, and two daughters, all of which are now living, aud members of the Baptist church, eight of which be baptized himself. Bro-ther Edwards was a man that was never idle, though he was afflicted some eighteen years ago, yet he would go and publiab the story of tbe cross when he had to be set upou his horse when he would leave home, and taken off when reaching his ap-pointments. Yet the Lord waa with bim, and bles-sed his labors to tbe good of tbi>08ands.

In the year af 1853, death separated him from his oompaniao, and in the year 1854, he was mar-ried to Miriam Barton,, of Farmington, Kentucky, daughter of William and Sarah Barton, who like th* looeaome dove mourns the loss of her mate.

Brother Edwards was out on a tour when taken sick, came to the neighborhood of the Trace Creek church, in Graves county, Kentucky, to assist the writer of this article,in balding a protracted meeting, but was not able to get to church. Ue rode home on Monday, and Closed his eyes in death on Friday, perfectly in his right mind. Uis suOerings weievery severe, though he bore them with fortitude, and when able, was giving expressions of the bright prospects of heaven that was near at hauj.

Brother Edwards was a man whomever courted the popular favor at the expense of tlie cross uf Chrut, but in the midst of persecutions and sacrifi-ces, ever contended to the last, for the faith once delivered to tbe Sainta- lie had left a journal of his life, and in his will be left it to the M'est Union Association for them to have poblished in a book, which doubtless will be done, as the Aaociation at her last sessioo appointed a committee of Brothers S Ray, WUlis White, and F. M. Ray, to collect the material nccessary for publishing the life of Brother Edwards. Therefore, we think it unnecessary to enter into a more minute detail of his life and death in the papers, but in tbe case of Brother Edwards, would adopt the language of th^ sacred wntrr. '' Blessed is the dead that die m tbe Lord, yea, say-eth the spirit, they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." JL W. Ilol,L.iM>.

BaornER G R A V E S —Beueving that revival intelli-gence is always welcome to your readers. I will give them ttie result of three protracted meetings.

The first was with the Rocky Bayou church, which commenced on Friday before the first Sunday in last .\ugust. Four or fi ve ministers were expect-ed, but all failed except the writer, who arrivea there in 3 very feeble sUte of health. The church looked to Cod, whc has always been frithful to bis promises, and humbled themselves in prayer.

After the second or third day, Brother Copeland cametoourasaisunce. We were assisted by Mi cajah Arnold, and Thomas Arnold, of the open com-munion Baptist church. Brothar Micajah Arnold came forward before the meeting closed, and open-ly acknowledged our doctrines, and united with the church- The church was wonderfully revived. A time that they will long remember. Sinners almost unanimously convii:ted, thirteen hepefnl conversions Seven baptised, and three added by letter. Siri-f that time, there has been nine others baptized, and one by letter, making in all seventeen additions

This church waa constituted one year ago. la.st September, on nine members, by Elder J f. Duvco, and the writer was called to the pastorship It DOW numben tifty-two. I will relate a circum-stance which took place at this meeting. A sister came forward in her sixty-scventb year, and waa immersed. She bad lived dissatisflrd in the Metb-odiat society for tifly-one years. She at last fmnd an opportunity of reoonncing bar baby sprmllm. and concluded to obay the Lord.
